NO HOPE FOR A FREE IRELAND

Of the public and not for the individual
the measures for establishing a minimum
wage and compulsory shortening OF the
hours of labor-all those are state social

am sure he makes TO himself for re-
naming in power with the aid OF political
opponents, and for the destruction of the
old Liberal party, of which he was the
creation.
But that, OF course, IS not the only rea-
son why Lloyd George sticks to the Tories
and will do nothing that may break up
the alliance between him and them. When

LONDON, January 10.-One of the few
Liberals who has remained a friend of
Lloyd George-they are getting fewer
every day-told me of a conversation he
had had with him some tine before he
brought in his recent home rule pro-
posals. That Liberal is and always has
been an ar6ent homo ruler and he was
extremely anxious that the Prime Minis
ter should bring in some measure which
had at least chance of giving Ireland
self-government at last. Lloyd George
professed great anxiety to settle the ques-
tion-which think was sincere. but when
his friend asked him IL he were ready to
defy Carson, Lloyd George answered in
the negative, IL would be impossible I'm
the present Parliament. And that is the
key to the extraordinary and incredibly
stupid proposals which the Prime Minis
ter has submitted to the Irish people.
Everything in the proposals bears the
stamp of Sir Edward Carson, his name is
written over every line. But do not go
into that just now, II is probable that we
may never hear of the proposals again, or
that IL we do hear Of them they will be
gradually criticised out OF existence. will
be mishandled by the ories in one house
until little remains OF them except the
clause thatpra ctically repeals the Home
Rule act of 1914, and so takes away from
ireland even the moderate liberties which
she was given under that statute.
That is breach of faith between two
nations upon which | cannot lot myself
go without painting our pages red. for II

tween England and ireland that tens OF
thousands OF Irish soldiers fought and

MY purpose in this article is rather 10
try an analysis OF the psychology of Lloyd
George at this particular epoch in his
marvellous career. First, what arc the
real political ideals Of the man in so far
as he has any ideals left? DO not run
away with the idea because he has aban-
doned so many Of his ideals that he Is
lust devourcd by the thought OF remain
ing Prime Minister. and and a prime min

character. lie Us a man who always wants

cinet Leaving the Senate After Forty-Four Years

PARIS, January 10.-Apropos to the re-
cent sojourn of the former Empress Eu-
genie in Paris. it is interesting to read in
the exquisite Prime of Youth" of Pierre
Lott, which has just appeared and which
is an account of his boyhood and young
manhood, his confession that the once
beautiful Empress was his first love. He
saw her often in the Champs de Mars,
where she attended various inaugurations.
&c. and he forgot his books and wasted
his time in watching for her landau to
appear.
How ideal an appearance she had"'
writes Lott mo other profile was com
parable to hers. During the latter part of
my sojourn in Paris her image served to
keep me entirely aloof from the kind OF
women that my comrades sought out"

when stopping at the Hotel Continental,

cious enough to grant me an interview.

The beautiful palace of Compiegne, re-
Gently nearly demolished by fire. was the
favorite summer residence Of the Empires;

famous French scientist Pasteur, was the
Empress guest. The latter became so IN

microscopical oX XperinVnts that she insist

few drops of her blood TO the savant fol
examination. Pasteur was in the habit oi
using frogs for his experiments and ne
kept numerous batrachians in bag in .
closet adjoining his suite of rooms.
After his departure from Compiesn'

the floor. When she lit the light she was
