Procession in London and

HOLYHEAD, Wales, Oct % (By The
Associated Prcss) Relatives Of the
late Lord Mayor MacSwlney resisted
when the authorities started to place
the body of the Lord Mayor on board
boat bound for Cork After a fight
over the coffin, however, the body vas
taken aboard the vessel, which sailed
for Cork.
LONDON, Oct % (By The Associ-
ated Press).-The government has re
fused to permit the body of Mac
Swiney to be landed in Dublin and has
provided a special steamer to convey
the remains to Cork
The reason assigned by the govern
ment for not permitting the body to be
landed anywhere except in the Lord
Mayors native city was "the risk Of
political demonstrations, which might

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-They carried the
body Of Terence MacSwiney through
the streets of London today. IN death,
the Lord Mayor who tad starved him
self in BriXton Prison had all thc
honors that in other days were pajd
to Lord Roberts. to Edith Cavel, to
royalty itself. Perhaps & milli.n o.,
perhaps more Londoners, men and
women, raised their hats and bowed
as the cortego passed with two Irish
volunteers IN their green uniforms
marching on either side Of the hearse.
Neither this nor other generations
ever before witnessed scene like Mac
Swiney's funeral procession, with its
chanting priests and many followers,
sturdy, stern and proud; its young
lrshmeN, its old women and young
girls, rich and poor, educated and illit-
crate. There was not tear in the
eyes of the mourners, not sob from
the members OF the family.
Only 900 in Procession
Among SO many people the thousand
or so in the procession seemed patheti-
cally few, the hopelcssly outnumbered
remnants of q dying cause, but no one
IN the million or more who lined the
streets could fail to be impressed with
the sincerity of the mourners.
hey commanded the respect Of a
vast host of Englishmcn who waited
an hour in the streets to catch q
glimpse OF those people who produced
a man who starved himself to death
for the sake OF his country. They ex-
pected trouble but there was none.
Across the river in the poorer sec
tions, through which the cortege had
to pass to reach the Euston station,
the police stood almost shoulder to
shoulder. The mourners marched with
mounted police at the head of the pro

the crowds were kept back by police.

LONDON, Oct. 28.-The last nh.
stacles in the way of settlement Of
the coal strike were overcom. +b;e
afternoon at a conference between
representatives, of the government and
OF the miners. A basis of agreement
vas reached that will be submitted bv
the miners executive to the workers
next Tuesday for their approval or
rejection. Endorsement is cxnec. cd
ana 1t IS probable that the mines will
reopen the middle of next week hnt
Il will be longer than that before tho
industries hit by the strike can resume
their operations
Inc submission of the terms to all
the miners instead Of to congress Of
delegates Will delay the process some
what, but the fact that the sqreen,er.
reached with the government has the
complete approval of the miners lead
crs is expected to prevent any further
complications.
Agreement Increases Wages
The agreement, which was read in
the House OF Commons this afternoon
gives the miners an immediate increase
IN wages Of two shillings a day, in con-
slderation Of which they pledge them
selves TO help increase production.
The plan provides for an investiga
tlon preliminary to reclassifyins wages
in the whole industry. This reclassi-
fication is to be completed by March
81, 1921, and thereafter the fixing OF
wages will devolve upon a national
wages board, which is to arrange a
sliding scale that takes into consid-
Grafton not only the output of the
mines, but also the profits of the bust
ness. In part of the surplus prof.
its the workers may share. The agree
ment provides lot of complicated ma
chinery for adjusting wages between
now and March 81 and takes various
contingencies into cons liberation.
The settlement of the strike forestalls
any contemplated action by the trade
union congress. representing all or

was desired by the extremists on both

ADIRONDACK GAME
STARVING IN SNOW
Even Hardy Foxes Easily Trapped
Because of inability to Secure
Ennd

Glens Falls, March 1.-The deep
snow and severe cold this winter are
causing much hardship to game in the
north woods. The heavy blanket of
snow makes feeding difficult and
much of the small er game has sue
cumbed TO starvation. The deer in par
ticu ar are finding it difficult to
forage for food. Their hoofs sink
through the soft crust, preventing
hem from travelling any great dis
tance. Were it not for their instinct
for providing yards" it is believed
not single deer would survive the
winter.
The fox also is having q hard time
of it in the Adirondacks. Though ligh-
ter by far than the deer his fayorite
menu of chicken, grouse, frogs or field
mice is lacking. Starvation overtakes
him and he falls an easy prey to trap
pers who reap a rich harvest in sell
ing skins to fur buyers. Pheasants
are said to be slbsisting on the buds
of birches for the most par, with oc-
casional trips to orchards on the out
lying fringes of the mountains.
Smaller birds are dying by the
thousand in the woods. 1t is no un-
common sight to find a sparrow dead
in the snow with toes pointed skyward
land an empty crop, mute evidence Of
its pitiful death.

WOMAN EARNED HER LIBERTY
unlooked-For Suffering Endured BY
Stowaway Who Was Making Her
Way to Freedom.

Gone was the Bosporus and in its
place we saw the leaden waters of the
Black sea. From the portfolio OF
Josers cabin we could distinguish
many miles west of us the coast line
of the country in which White had
spent three years. according to Capt.
Alan Bolts 'Stowaways, lnc.,' in Asia.
Feodor soon left us, for he had to
bring other stowaways TO the light of
day. From every concealed Granny of
the vessel men and women. almost az
llght-hearted as ourselves at deliver
ance from the Turks, We're coming into
the open.
One of the stowaways, passport
less woman whom the aged captain
was taking with him to Odessa, did
not rejoice for some time. As hiding
place for her the old man had chosen
O deep locker in his chartroom on the
bridge. There she had remained for
the last two days. Now, Rosa, the
kitchen wench. knew nothing of the
captains lady. That morning, not
wishing to send her own particular
stowaway-a Turkish deserter with
coal-blackened face, untrimmed beard
and decidedly odorous clothes-back
to the bunkers, where he had spent
the previous day, she thought of the
locker as a temporary home. Dump
ing him inside the locker, she fas-
tened the lid and ran back to the
kitchen. The Turkish deserter landed
with some violence ON the captains
lady and both received a bad fright as
they c,otched at each other In the
darkness. Yet the lid could not be re-
moved from the inside and the wom-
ans screams were unheard outside the
little room. The air in the 1nventi-
lated locker grew more and more
stuffy. Finally the woman tainted.
TIE Turk, tired after long spell of
cramped wakefulness in the .bunkers
and the kitchen, composed himself
phliosophicaily and went to sleep.

Eioht Thousand swlss.

Only 5000 Swiss soldiers fought in
the war. That number entered the
French service.
But that is not the whole story. Out
of the 5000, 300 survived, including
many wounded. The rest, 7,T00, were
killed. A thousand of them held up
a German advance one day at Verdun /;
held it up until the last man of them
was killed.
About so years ago the story of Will
liam Tell and the poem about Arnold
Won Winkelried were in most Of the
school readers that young Americans
cut their eye teeth on.
The 5000 Swiss who fought in the
war well established the right of that
story and that poem to remain in
American school readers.-Llfe.

SAYS PRESIDENT is
ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE
And Must Take the Blame If the
Peace Treaty Is Not Ratified
Say Democratic Senators.

Washington, Feb. 29.-One of the
leading Democratic senators in the
treaty fight tonight expressed the
opinion tina. if the ratification Of the
treaty with the Lodge reservations was
to be defeated President Wilson must
openly assume responsibility for Its
failure.
It will not avail the President, 1t was
said, to express his desire to senators
confdential'y. He can have his wish
only by accepting responsible ~ for
what is done.
This situation developed as a result
of the President asking one of the
Democratic senators to inform his col
leagues that the Presiden. was not vii
ling to accept the treaty with the
Lodge reservations on article 10 and
would pocket 1t If 1t came to him in
that form.
The President had been moved to
send this message to the Democrats
in the senate by the lfact hat the two
reservations adopted since the treaty
was taken up by the senate for the
second time were approved by more
han two thirds vote
These votes were strongly indica-
tive of disposition on the part of
many Democratic senators to break
away from the President. But if the
President links his message of yes
terday through an individual senator
will be sufficient to hold the minority
in line for his policy with respect to
the treaty he is Ger ain to be disap-
pointed
After TIE Presidents message was re
ceived in the senate yesterday there
were informal conferences among the
Democratic senators. The President
would not have been p eased with the
comments made on his confidential
message.
Most II the Democratic senators
were inclined to resent it as an "a
tempt of the President to shift respon-
sibility from his shoulders to those of
the Democrats in the senate. From
the information obtained today they
are not disposed to let him do this.
One Democratic senator who has
been favorable to reserva ions said:
"The President has been the only
obstacle in the way of the ratification
of the treaty for the past two months.
If he does not want the treaty with
the Lodge reservations to come TO
him he can no longer keep in OPP
position under cover, In my judg-
ment.
