HARDING TO ATTACK

Paris, Nov. "a.
President-elect Harding's political adj
visers have agreed to study French op.
position to the American copyright laws,
which. It Is charged here, permit the
plagiarism OF the works of French au-
thors and If they find these charges
justified the American copyright will be
abolished in so far as French authors
are concerned.
This assurance was contained in
Comoedid. It Is supporting the abolition
OF the American copyright campaign
which Is being vigorously conducted by
French literary agency that has in its
membership some OF the leading French
writer's. According to this agency.
French authors frequently produce plays
or books here which are eagerly sought
bv American playwrights and publishers
who plaigarize scandalously, and often
times whole chapters are stolen with
out consideration for the French authors
claims.
The existing copyright laws make
compliance with them by French authors
difficult. while American plaigarists can
obtain the copyright OF stolen works be-
fore application from France reaches Of
ficias in Washington. The agency here
admits that this would not be - bad II
the French had chance to retaliate,
but the Bern convention gave American
writer's protection not enjoyed by their
French contemporaries.
According to Comoedtd, both Senator
Harding and Gov. Cox were approached
during the campaign In regard to this
situation, Senator Harding by "a close
counsellor who occupied a high position
in Paris for a long time" An unequl-
vocal promise was given. according to
Comoedid, that the Republican regime
would try TO alter conditions.

Moving Starts Rumors.

But IL was decided that the crown
Jewels must be moved to some safer
spot. When this became known there
were the usual wild rumors about their
destination.
zone Inspired person mentioned that
from certain information which he had
received a castle in Cornwall had been
secretly acquired and that the jewels
had been taken there by special train
at dead of night. He added that in front
OF the jewel train were two other trains
full of troops, police, detectives, machine
guns and what not.
another very astute gentleman had
obtained the exclusive information That
n deep and secret vault, lined through
out with concrete, had been eXcavated
at Bath and that the jewels were de-
nosited there. The sole ground for this
rumor rested on the undoubted fact mat
eight months before the Keeper of the
Jewel House had been at Bath. and
there. by way OF camouflage doubtless,
had undergone a course Of the waters"
Other rumors included a statement
that the Jewels were in Cumberland and
that they had been sunk in the Thames
opposite the Tower.
AS a matter OF fact. they were AZ
Windsor Castle. and their removal was
a very matter Of fact affair.
"a royal car drove into the Tower Of
London and up to the Jewel House.
Into IL more important and valuable
parts Of the regala, already packed IN
their own cases, were handed. 1t was
all a matter Of a few minutes. and then
the car drove away TO Windsor Castle
and there deposited the jewels in a safe
place"

Even Burglars Can view Gems.

famous jewels from the official account

Expects Liberals to Win.

I contend that the Liberal mind OF
England always wins. believe that it
was never surer of winning than on
this one great argument. Next Satur-
day there will be such a meeting in AL
bert Hall here as this country never
saw before. 1t will be a meeting of
the flower of the nation called to de-
nounce the greatest iniquity ever per-
petrated ip the name of the British
Government and to proclaim peace in
Ireland as a national policy. And in
every city in the country similar meet
ings are afoot.
The nation is organizing into two
camps. Between them there can be no
compromise, for one stands for tyranny
and the other for freedom. 1t will be
a hard fight; maybe it will be a long
fight. We shall sup full of horrors
before it Is finished. But I do not
doubt the issue. Liberal England. de-
feated again and again, will yet
achieve the emancipation Of Ireland.
And victory may be nearer than the
hideous circumstances of to-day per-
NIT us to hope.

HID GROWN JEWELS
IN WINDSOR CASTLE
Custodians Took Gems in the
Royal Car From Historic
Tower of London.

LONDON, Nov 27.-How the crown
jewels had a narrow escape when the
Tower of London-their normal resting
place-was bombed during an air raid,
and how they were then moved for safer
custody to Windsor Castls for the dura-
ton of the war, is among the many in
teresting stories Major Gen. Sir George
Younghusband, keeper of the jewel
hotNse at the Tower. tells in his book,
1.-THE Jewel House"
In their first daylight air raids the
Germans made a special target of the
Tower. The first borrb just missed the
west side. buried itself in the dry moat
and failed TO explode. A second went
further east and hit the Royal Mint; the
third damaged the ratings on the north
OF the Tower and killed couple OF
van horses, and the fourth the nearest
shave of all. fell into the river within a
few yards Of St Thomass Tower.
The total casualties, writes Sir
George Younghusband to the credit of
this attack on the Tower. We're one
pigeon, which probably had weak
heart and died of shell shock and one
pane OF window broken in the jewel
house.

LATEST HORRORS IN LRELAND
DARKENAND DIVIDE BRITAIN;
LLOYD GEORGE IS BLAMED
Gardiner Pictures Nations Humiliation in Crisis in
Vivid Terms and Believes Next Election Will End
Government of Ern's Isle by Terror, Causing
Conditions Worse Than War.

prfsa1s delivered by Mr.. Asquith at the
National Liberal Club was practically
suppressed by most OF the London
newspapers. Control of the press by
hidden forces and its concentration
into half a dozen irresponsible hands
Is becoming one of the greatest men
aces to the nation. 1t is bringing
ruin to Ireland to-day; 1t will bring
ruin to England tomorrow.
There is no longer any pretence that
the reprisals are not official. That
pretence was maintained for months,
but Mr.. Asquith's exposure Of the
Weekly Summary the secret circular
issued by the forces of the Crown IN
ireland. has disposed of it. The
Weekly Summary breathes Indictment
to reprisals on every page.
And day by day Lloyd George re-
peats that the 'murder gang" IS be-
ing tracked down. Probably many
Of them are being shot, and it is pos
sible that all Of them may be rooted
out. But they are not being rooted
out by reprisals which fall on the in
nocent. For example, two of the play
ers shot down in the massacre on the
Croke Park ground We're men who had
served IN the war.
Reprisnls Help the Slim Fein.
No one pretends that the shooting
Of unknown women and children, or
the burning of treameries. or mid
night murders of responsible citizens
like Mr.. Coleman of Cork. have any
thing to do with roofing out the "mur-
der gang" The only effect of these
crimes Is to stir moderate opinion in
Ireland into the arms Of the Sim
Fem. Lord Dunraven spoke plain, in
disputable truths in the House Of
Lords last Tuesday when he said that
originally the Sim Fein were without
tinge Of Republicanism. They have
become Republican in sheer despair.
And all Ireland outside Ulster is
being driven to the Sim Fein in de-
spair also. We have made the nation
our enemy. By our reprisals we have
made enemies Of thousands who de-
sired to be our friends and who had
nothing to do with the Sim Fem and
who are as Mortified at the Sim Fem
crimes as is any Englishman.
This is Lloyd Georges achievement.
Now we wait for it's dreadful fruits. 1t
may be that the reign of terror will
produce a semblance OF peace. 1t is
more likely to reduce the whole coun-
try to complete and irreparable anar-
chy. But If 1t produces a peace of ex-
haustion. 1t will still have failed. No
one believes we can hold Ireland per-
manently by the bayonet No one be-
lieves the country will attempt to hold
it so permanently. This government
may end next month, or it may last
two years more, but the day 1t goes to
the country will be the last day Of gov
eminent in Ireland by terror.

RIGA, Latvia, Oct. 22.-From Crimea

Polish peace conference.)
In Latvia every sixtieth person is a
Government employee. There are only
a million and a half Inhabitants all
told in the new republic and 10000 OF
them work for the Government. The
same proportion probably holds for
most of the other newly Matched
