Wartime Regulations viii No Longer

London.-Important changes in the
governments policy in Ireland were
decided upon as result of the con-
ferences between Viscount French,
Maj. Gen. MaeReady and the govern
ment officials in London last week,
according to the London Times. The
government, says the paper, was SO
impressed with the gravity of the sit
uation that it resolved to use every
weapon in the armory of the state to
crush the terror before it was too
late.
"On the other hand" continues The
Times, the restriction, which irri-
moved and a more tolerant regime
for the people as whole will be
adopted. An attempt to suppress
crime will be carried out by troops
operating in flying columns from a
series of garrison posts. These will
relentlessly pursue terrorists, and
when a murderer is captured and con-
victed he will be hanged.

Amid cheers Sir Edward Carson.
listers chieftain, in the house OF
commons, warned America ito cease
interference" on the Irish question.
Walter Hume Long, on behalf OK
the government, had accepted the
principle of the establishment Of Sec
ond chambers for North and South
ireland. Sir Edward approved of this
and added:
1.-THE second chamber may help to
safeguard the rights of the minor
tiles in the south of Ireland l hope,
however, you are going to discuss the
home rule bill without dragging in
the influence of America.
Il think it is high time that Amer
lea, or those prepared to speak for
America, because they are not real
Americans, should learn to understand
that we are still great power an
that we are not subordinate to Amer
lea or to any other country.
america has many difficult ques-
tions of her own. but we have never
heard anybody in ibis house say that
we should be justified in the slight
est degree, even for electioneering
purposes or to capture the Irish
American vote in attempting to deal
with any question that was exclusive
ly a question for the great republic.
II hope, therefore, that America Will
now drop out of these discussions.

Nitrates From the Air.

When Thomas Edison was asked re-
Gently what he considered the great
est inventions since the electric lights.
he mentioned first wireless telegraphy
and second the American process for
making nitrogen from the air. Be
fore the war we depended upon Ger
many for our supply of nitrogen, and
especially for the fertilizers which
made our farms so productive. The
Germans had deposits which they only
need dig out of the ground to sell at
enormous prices. Today there are
great plants in the south where the
air is put under pressure and frozen
to liquid form from which in turn
the nitrogen is extracted. The sup
ply is of course absolutely limitless.
BY Harvesting water falls to these
plants the work is done very cheaply.

BIBLE FOR China
New Translation Has Been the
Work of Many Years.
Said to Be the First Ever Put Into
the National Language of the Race.
and Almost Perfect Literary
Production.

After continuous labor extending
over more than quarter of century
by Chinese and foreign scholars, the
announcement is made new transla-
tion of the Bible has been completed
for the Chinese people. The publica-
ton of this translation at an early
date, under the title of the Revised
Mandarin Bible" is announced by the
American Bible society. The compile
tion of the work will. It is stated,
place this particular version in the
hands of more individuals than were
ever reached by any other translation.
There have been Bibles in China for
many years, of course, millions of
them. but the forthcoming issue will
be the first translated into the national
language of the Chinese, and 1t is
claimed that it will be the most nearly
perfect literary production in the
Chinese republic.
1t will be interesting to many OBJ
servers the world over to take care
full note in the years to come of the
effect of this translation upon the
masses of the people of China. From
the point of view of the western
world, China is not rich in literature.
This estimate is not disputed by many
of the Chinese educated in America,
and European colleges. Confucius,
when he edited what the Chinese de-
nominate the sacred canons, in the
sixth century before the Christian era,
prescribed the model of Chinese liter
airy form, and reached, in the belief
of his followers, the pinnacle of phil
osophic wisdom. These classics, in
Guiding the works edited and actually
written by those who called them
selves his disciples, possibly excel, in
literary merit at least the works of
any other ancient civilization, and it
Is true that no other written words
have for so many centuries nodded
the character, culture, morals and gov
ernment of so great a nation. The
veneration given throughout the CEN
turtles to the wisdom of Confucius has.
because of the constant study Of his
philosophy, preserved the language al
most unchanged for thirty centuries,
and set a permanent standard in the
nations literature. In one of the
books of this great series. that known
as the "Analects" of Confucius. In
which his views and maxims are re-
tailed by his disciples, there are given
what purport to be accounts of the
habits and records of the teachings of
the great Chinese moralist. In it there
is found the sage's text on altruism,
called the golden rule in its Chinese
form, which. translated, reads: "What
you would not others should do unto
you, do not unto them" m."-Christian
Science Monitor.

WILL Be NO PANIC
IN THIS COUNTRY
GOVERNOR FEDERAL RESERVE
BOARD SAYS PRICE CUTTING
is HEALTHY MOVE.
Harding Convinced Foundation Is Be.
ing Cut from Under the SpecuIa-
tors-Says World Wide Lack
Of Capital.

Washington.-Gov. Harding of the
Federal Reserve Board thinks that the
drop in prices throughout the country
come as result of restriction OF
credits, and it will keep up until the
country Is back upon a sound basis.
By confining loans to essential indus
tries and properly protecting non-es-
country can stop speculation and elm
mate the boarding profiteer. That is
what is going on now.
''The condition resulting from the
lowering Of prices is healthy one,''
said Gov. Harding. 1--WE realize that
very considerably extended. From the
first of April, 1919, to the first of
April, 1920, the expansion of bank
credit was about 25 per cent. During
the same time there has been an ad-
vance in commodity prices of about
26 per cent. This has been accompa-
MED by decrease in production OF
essential articles"
Gov Harding is convinced that the
federal reserve banks are cutting the
foundation from the speculator. His
advice to the bankers at the confer
ence of the Federal Reserve Board of
the federal advisory council here on
the 18th, when four representatives of
each reserve district were here, was
taken in good faith, and is being acted
upon. The plan is that speculation is
to be curbed, If not eliminated, and
the money used by spectators will
be turned into the proper channels Of
commerce to relieve in part the strain
upon the financial situation.
Gov Harding pointed to the reduc-
tions in the prices of grain and pro-
visions in Chicago. He looks for ga
gradual healthful decline.
There is world wide lack Of cap
ital," he said, "and with calls upon the
investment market which cannot be
met there is an unprecedented demand
for bank credits. The fact must be
recognized that, however desirable on
general principles. continued expan-
sion of trade and industry may be,
such developments must accommodate
themselves to the actual supply OF
capital and credit available"
Gov. Harding says that all "unnec-
essary borrowings for purposes of
pleasure and luxury should be re-
stricted as far as possible"

Observation-Disclosures for the effec

vides that the carriers shall agree

of agreement the division will be
fixed by the commission. Additional
charges cannot be made against the
shippers.
Specific and detailed orders for the
movement of given number of empty
cars each day were issued to practic

In general, the orders provide for a

movement is prescribed by the gov.
ernment and cannot be escaped under
penalty, and one road cannot deny
cars to another or fail to move them.
The order for direct movement OF
freight, without regard to the traffic
developed by particular railroads, was
in part as follows:
"The subject of routing of freight

it appearing, in the opinion of the
commission, that, because of shortage
Of equipment and congestion of t1af-
fic, an emergency exists on the lines
of all carriers by railroads in the
United States subject to the inter
state commerce act, which requires
immediate action.
"It is ordered that until the further
order or direction Of this commission
all said common carriers by railroad
are hereby directed to forward traffic
to destination by the routes most
available to expedite it's movement
and relieve said congestion, without
regard to the routing thereof made by
shippers or by carriers from which
the traffic is received, or to the own
ership OF the cars, and that all rules,
regulations and practices of said car.
riers with respect to car service are
hereby suspended and superseded in
so far only, as conflicting with the
directions hereby made.
1T is further ordered and directed
that inasmuch as such disregard OF
routing is deemed to be due to car
riers' disability, the rates applicable
to traffic so forwarded by routes other
than those designated by shippers, or
by carriers from which the traffic is
received, shall be the rates which were
applicable at date of shipment over
