With the utmost difficulty the Amer
lean government has convinced the
European and japanese delegates to
the international communications con-
gress that it means business when it
demands a restoration of its pre-war
rights in connection with the alloca-
ton of the former German cables. A
modus vivendi has been adopted COW
ering the situation until a final agree
ment can be reached. 1t puts into
writing an acknowledgment by the al
lied powers that the United States
government, as a result of the war,
shares in the ownership of the $4,000
miles of German cables throughout
the world. For the time being the
cables are to be operated as at pres
ent, but for the financial account of
the five powers-the United States,
Great Britain, France, Italy and ia

Despite certain concessions granted
by Premier Lloyd George, nothing
definite has yet come out of the efforts
to bring about a truce in the Irish
"war." In response to the request OF
Father O'Flanagan, acting lead OF the
Sim Fein, hat he might be permitted
to confer with Arthur Griffith and
Eamonn De Valera regarding a set
Element, the premier said: "The Irish
governmental authorities will afford
YOU the necessary facilities for see
ing Mr., Arthur Griffith, and, as re-
CARDS Mr.. De Valera, the ordinary
methods of communication with
America fully are open to you"
At about the same time it was re-
ported that De Valera was on his way
from America to Ireland, and in Lon
don it was understood tacit permission
for his return had been given by
Lloyd George. The dispatches said
he would be met at Liverpool and per-
mitted to go to London for a confer
ence or would be given safe conduct
to Ireland, as he preferred.
Meanwhile the rank and file on both
sides seem to be doing their best to
keen the contest going. The worst
happening of the week was the burn
ing of the city hall, library and other
buildings in the business center OF
Cork. Presumably this vas done by
the auxiliary police in reprisal for the
ambushing of some of their members
though this was denied by the English
officials. The property damage was
immense and the affair caused such
