Irish Confederation
Planned as Solution
Of Ulster Question
Ireland, Says Registrar of
Cork University, Origi-
nator of Scheme, Should
Be Divided i'm 40 Regions

CORK, Feb. 8 (By mail).--An orig
inal scheme of government for Ire
land, proposed by Professor Alfred
O'Rahilly, registrar Of the University
Of Cork, is arousing great interest in
Ireland. The correspondent has been
informed that the plan has been in
dorsed by many men prominent in the
Sim Fein movement, in which Profess
sor O'Rahilly is recognized leader.
Briefly, the scheme calls for an Irish
confederation and, according to Pro,
fessor O'Rahilly, who discussed it, at
length in an interview with the cor
respondent, it provides the only solu-
tion of the northeast Ulster question.
Professor O'Rahilly is not opposed
to the idea of partition. "Our proper
attitude" he said, SHOULD be to In
sist on more partition. Ireland should
be divided not into two, but into forty
regions. BY tradition, instinct, faith
and circumstances we ought to aim at
decentralization and regionalism and
uphold the sovereignty of the people.
"What many fairminded Ulster bus
mess men fear is the possibility Of an
all-powerful central Parliament in
Dublin. And to tell the truth, Cork
men are not realty enthusiastic aDout
a Dublin Westminster, nor are Come
mara peasants likely to favor central
sovereign assembly controlling all the
minutia Of Irish life.
"It's a mistake to think there Is
merely an Ulster problem. There are
about forty problems. We are IA he
terogeneous people and to remain
true to ourselves we must have far
moro local liberty and regional au-
tonomy than is allowed in the ideal of
a central parliament or two assemblies
in Belfast and Dublin
In Switzerland, he pointed out, there
are twenty-five sovereign states differ
ing in religion, language, size and
economic position, although Switzer-
land is only half the size of Ireland.
every Irish county," he went on,
"has as much right to partition as
County Down or Belfast. The real OBJ
lection to Che partition act is that it
doesn't give Belfast and Ulster enough
local liberty and power. In an Irish
confederation they ought to get far
more"
The proposed federal system, Pro-
fcssor 0'Rahilly said might be either
dominion or republican. There would
be federal assembly consisting of
national council and council Of
counties.

Pea Soup Variety, Famed
I'm Song and Story, Drops
I'm for a Spell and
Is None Too Welcome
BY Harold E. Scarborough

From The Ty{buns's E@ropson Bnrsaa
LONDON, Feb. 1s.--The casual WIS.,
itor to London comes and sees the mild
morning mists of the Thames Valley
and departs with the firm conviction
that the famous London fogs are much
overrated institutions. Only occasion
ally now, say Londoners born and bred,
do the old "pes-soupers" put in their
appearance, During the last week
there has been recurrence Of the
regular mld-Victorlan he-fogs, and
thousands of persons, with smarting
eyes and raw throats, can testify that
none Of the attributes necessary to
make complete success of the fog
has been omitted with the passage Of
time. The genuine London fog is to
the ordinary one as five-star Hennessy
lis to home brew.
When one remarks that the mist was
so thick one couldn't see across the
street 1t represents the acme of in-
tensity Of the common or garden fog,
which merely places 8 shadowy shroud
of nice, clean white over city and coun-
tryside. Figures coming toward one
out of the mist assume blurred ap-
pearance, until they suddenly loom with
startling distinctness before ones eyes.
Everything Obliterated
In the genuine pea-soup variety, SO
named from It's obvious resemblance in
color, If not In taste. to that delectable
beverage, one does not see figures in
the mist. One sees nothing except
this monster Of grayish yellow, which
is truly so dense and so. impervious
that one feels he should be able to
push 1t aside as he would a curtain.
And in 1t are all the noxious, all the
Objectionable, fumes which are dis
charged from London's thousands Of
chimneys and held suspended in ths
air.
The clammy stuff gets into the eyes,
the nasal passages, the mouth and the
lungs. II Is unlike other fogs In that
walls and doors apparently constitute
not the slightest obstacle to It's spread.
At the height Of last weeks fogs one
might sit In room with tightly closed
windows and doors and with electric
lights on full. and yet DO barely able
to discern figure on the opposite side
of the room. II creeps down Into the
underground--eighty to one hundred
feet below the surface lsvel--and slows
up the working Of the trains.
Traffic Held Up
Ordinary vehicplar traffic, Of course,
is paralyzed. The motor busses, Lon
don's quickest and most comfortable
means Of surface transport, are blind

LONDON, Feb. 1s.-A division Of the
Boy Scouts movement, which is very
popular here, Is the Sea Scouts,
branch inaugurated in 1911 for scouts
who had completed the training
courses in scouting. and camping and
wanted new fields of study.
The Sea Scouts branch has grown
rapidly and the boys now have ship
that Is all their own, the S. S. North
ampton, 8 former fisheries patrol ves-
sci, which has been remodelled as
training ship and amebored in the
Thames, off the EnbsAlsment. 1t is
fitted up with a gymnasium, carpenter
shop, machine shop and classrooms
and here the various Sea Scout units
come for instruction in knots, bitches,
lights, whistles and rules of the road.
During the war the Sea Scouts CO.
operated with the Coast Guard service
In coast watching work, serving as sig
nalers, dispatch carriers, inspectors Of
wreckage and submarine lookouts. Each
scout patrolled a three-mie-long strip
of beach, working in all weathers.
Thousands Of boys participated in this
work. There are now over 5000 Sea
Scouts in the various branches.
