EafIy Irish History,

In the earliest time Of which there
IS any record, ireland was inhabited
by tribes of the great Celtic family,
TO which belonged the ancient Brit
ons of the larger island, and the Gauls
Of the country now known as France.
Each tribe had its chief, ard after n
time a supreme monarch came to the
front. One Of the most famous OF
these was Brian, who overthrew the
invading Danes in the battle of Clon.
tart, fought In the year 1014 near Dub
lin. He was slain in his tent at the
close of the fight. Altar his death
the supreme monarchy was often In
complete abeyance, mlsruIe and an
srchy widely prevailed and the ancient
form Of society wss largely broken up.
oIt is said that Roderick o'Connor, son
Of Turlough, was the last Of the mon
archs of Celtic Ireland. From that
time the influence Of Anglo-Normans
increased.

Confederate Money
Still Being Used By
English SWindlers

London, Sept. 11-By Associated
Press)-The old swindle of passing
currency notes of the Confederate
States of America which has been
worked in England for years. is flour
ishing again. Reports of the vic
limitation of shop-keepers at ports
have been reaching the American
embassy here in increasing numbers
recently.
A ticket seller at one of the big
London railway stations gave a Swiss
waiter eleven England pounds for a
$50 Confederate note but became
suspicious before the waiter had gone
far and had him detained. The
police were in a dilemma aS they
could not distinguish the note from
good American money and finally had
to appeal to the American embassy.
The Swiss said he obtained the
note from an American but declined
to say how much the transaction cost
him. The police believed his story
that he had acted in good faith with
the ticket seller.
The police say this swindte runs in
waves cropping up every few years
but that at present it is being per-
petrated on a larger scale and more
successfully then heretofore.

Portland. Me. Sept. 2s-Women
voters on Monday participated for
the first time in the conduct of mu-
nicipal affairs in Scarboro where a
special town meeting was held for
the purpose of determining what
should be done to improve the con-
dition of the road to Prouts Neck.
Although the women had already
voted at the State election this was
their initial opportunity to have
something to do with a regular town
meeting. where there is oratorE
land everything" and the voters
stick around until all the business
has been transacted.
The men occupied all of the setteeS
in the hall and the women gathered
in a bunch on some low steps along
the side of the hall. forming the
left" as they call it in European
parliaments. The session was hri'r
and it was decided to expend $1,000
on the road this fall and then con-
tinue the work in the spring.

Our Relations with Japan

There are good reasons for be-
lieving the leading spirits of Japan
do not wish for war with the Unit
ed States. Even those who may
think such a conflict inevitable are
not unaware of the fact that Japan,
yet dependent on other couhtries for
financial support, is not in a position
to undertake war with hope of sue
cess. But they have politics in Jap
an, as elsewhere. The political riv-
ais of those in control have in anti
foreign prejudices a tool to their
liking. The Japanese are proud
spirited, the more so since success
has attended their ventures, and
they naturally resent any attitude
which is not as favorable to their
nationality as to any other. If Eng
lish, French or Germans are allowed
to own real estate in California, why
not Japanese?
They seem to overlook the fact
that today foreigners outside re-
stricted settlements are not permit
ted to own land in Japan, although a
law passed in 1910 but not yet
promulgated would give them that
right. This situation is not exactly
comparable with that existing in this
country, for alp foreigners are there
treated alike. They have found all
foreigners not assimilable, whereas
We have found certain oriental races
including the Japanese unassimila-
BILE. Having found them so there is
nothing for US to do except protect
ourselves.
This does not argue the Japanese
an inferior race; indeed such an at
titude on our part might signify that
in some respects at least We had
found them superior and not safely
to be permitted to compete with US.
AS matter Of fact it is we'll known
thdt wien inc japanese acquire,
through associations or through their
American born children, land in this
country and occupy it, land in the
vicinity goes down in price. 1t is
neither un-American or ethical
for the other residents to protect
themselves against such conditions.
While it is difficult to forecast the
influence Of prejudice. already sew
eral of the japanese organs are hint
ing at war. it may help to consider
the fact that Japan has become COM
mercialized. The old Samurai class
nave MT made the fortunes that have
been accumulated during the war.
from which Japan profited so much;
big business is at the helm, hostility
between capital and labor exists. and
Japan's policy in the future In likely
to be shaped under these influences.

THE BABY CROP
1919 IN AMERICA
A NEW RECORD

New York, Sept. 2S-America's
baby crop in 1919 was a new record
says the American Child Hygiene AS
ISOLATION.
An annual preliminary report on
vital statistics by that organization,
covering data from 269 cities with an
aggregate population of 100000
shows the infant mortality rate de-
clined to the encouraging figure of
81 deaths per 1000 babies" a saving
of nearly 10000 babies over the 1918
rates and 1000 fewer deaths than in
1917.
In the cities covered by the report
100000 births were recorded, while In
the entire country it is estimated
there are 100000 newcomers annual
ly. All of the cities included have
populations of 10000 or more.
Babies seemed to thrive well in
some Of the larger cities. where for
merly the death rate was very high.
Among the "a cities of more than
100000 population reported. ten were
below the average for the 269 and the
death rate for the group was IS, two
points below the general average.
Ten years ago." the report said,
ut was the aim Of many a department
of health to see this rate fall below
the 100 mark. In 1919, only four Of
the "a larger cities were above it,"
One Of these was Pittsburgh, the
Smoky City" where the rate was
IFS. Buffalo with 107, Kansas City,
Mo. with 10S and Jersey City. n. j.,
with 102 were the others.
Houston, Tex, was the best baby
raising ground among the cities of
more than 100000 and less than 25o.-
600 with mark of 81. Berkeley,
Cal. had a baby mortality rate of A.
while Brookline. Mass, with a popu-
lation of less than $4,000 led all the
rest with the healthy percentage of

A Biddeford delegate to the s. Of

turns home with vivid impressions
of the political situation in the mid

Biddeford Journal. Though he has
always been a Democrat he is frank

that there is nothing to it but Hard
ing this year. At the G. A. r. con-
