Dublin, May s. (By the Associated

Sir. James Craig and Eamonn de
Valera is said in well informed quar-
ters to have reached an impasse over
the question of a republic for ireland.
1t is stated de Valera in a lengthy ap-
peal tried to win over Sir James to
the idea of a republic for the whole
OF Ireland. Sir James replied that no
negotiations on such basis could
occur, it is asserted, and the interview
terminated there.
This would explain the attitude
taken by the Ulster Unionists at their
meeting in Belfast today. at which
they decided to make no further con-
cessfons.

Who was the last man killed In the

by the French literary weekly Rerais-
Sdnce. IL promises to be taken up
seriously by the allied nations. each

the honor belonged to IT.
The British declare that a few min

OF the armistice a colonel of machine

a stray bullet, but II is doubtful
whether this bullet came from a Ger
man sniper or from a party of mop

is considered outclassed.

< Governors throughput the country,
whose vision extends beyond the

sane, conservative and optimistic
note for the near futuresof business
in brief messages which they have
written especially for the American
Industries.
Most of them are confident that
the country has passed safely
through the critical days of the re-
adjustment period that was bound
to follow in the wake of the war.
They express the happy satisfac-
ton, that while there was bound to
be a certain measure of unemploy-
ment and other disturbing condi-
tions, that the nation is now on it's
way toward complete industrial re-
covery. They believe the confidence
with which the business men and the
public faced and solved, the situa-
ton is another evidence of America

Ireland leads the world in the manu-
facture of poplin and. although most
of the silk used is of foreign manufac-
ture, the Dublin weavers treat it in
such manner as to make Irish poplin
a distinct fabric. 1t is composed OF
worsted made from the finest wool, and
silk in combination, and no makers
but the Irish seem to be able to pro-
duce the softness of texture and bril-
lance of cOloring that is so character
istic of the best pOplin. This is at
tributed to the peculiarly of the Dub
lin water and the skill and knowledge
of the makers.

IT'S TIME TO SAW WOOD"

All over the country there has been
a slowing down of industries and
business i'm practically all lines; the
banks have been unable to supply
their customers with the money they
needed, and all around there has
been what is called financial strin-

We have had several years of high
pressure business and We had almost
forgotten how it used to be when
business was normal and everybody
felt that they had to get right down

During the last five or six years
everybody seemed to forget their pre-
viOus hardships; we all went around
like the proverbial drunken sailor"
nothing seemed to remind us that it
could not go on indefinitely.
Now it is time to "saw wood" we
have reached the stage where we can
not keep the pot boiling except by
-adding some new wood to the fire.
There you have the whole story.
It is up to each one of us to get
busy and produce something of real
value, if We are going to stay in the
game. This applies to the employer
@ well as the employee.
Most of us are now fully awake
to the dangers before us and a good
many have already started to saw

many who have not yet decided how
they can get into the new trend Of
things in the best way.

fellow who is more active, will come

Saving wood" is hard work, tina
is admitted; at first the unusual ex
ercise of the muscles causes soreness
and it takes a little TIME to get tn
habit OF regular, persistent pluSSlhs
After a while we forget all thes
things, and then it is an easy tas

there is more enjoyment in hare

Now then, lets saw wood" let
all do our best to produce. Let
do all we can to produce bette
goods, better newspapers, better az

determine that whatever we do sha
