An Augusta. young lady, q grad
uate of Cony High school, now holds
very responsible position as asso-
ciate editor of the Woman's World
in Chicago and in a very i0eresting
manner she speaks of her eXperien-
ces as a writer and a. welfare work
er previous to being chosen to her
present position. Miss Sarah Ner-
rill, daughter of George w. Merrill
of Augusta. believed there We're op-
portunities here and there in the
great race of human beings. she saw
such an opportunity and she strived
for it. She is now living in Evans
ton, just outside the Windy City.
Miss Merrill tells the story of her
experiences as follows:
You have heard the story of the
Irishman and the naturalization pa
per where in the FIRST question.
Born? and the answer, Yes
can also reply in the affirmative and
the place was Augusta, Maine.
II was educated in the grammar
and high schools there. I houndered
about like a square peg in a round
hole for some years after. I went to
an art school and got the needed
education to make square peg
function, studied proportion and the
like, and tried to fit together the ir-
reconcilable pieces of an irrational
universe.
Il wrote children's stories for
John Martins book, the children s
page of the New York Tribune, and
drew some pictures for the same. I
edited a department on the Woman's
World and so got acquainted with
the United States in q. human way.
IT dabbled in welfare work with
slum babies in the summer, at a
fresh air camp. I wrote copy for
the United States Food Administra-

LONDON PAPERS ARE
 OPPOSED TO FRANCE
Editors Severely Criticize Claims of Tri-Color to Large Fleet of
 SubmCrsiblcS

London, Dec, 27. (By Associated press) s)-France' claims for a large fleet of submarines, made before the Washington conference are again at tackled by the London newspapers which resumed publication today after the Christmas holidays.
 "Doublng any class of naval ton mage seems on the face of 1t a strange proposition at a conference assembled to reduce armamcnts" declares the Daily Chronicle. We cannot pretend to fathom the French motive for such an aggressive attitude" lmpatience with the French demand is expressed by other liberal newspapers, the Westminster Gazette characterizing it as eXtravagant. The Gazette adds;
 "It emphasizes the all important difference between the spirit and let ter of the American proposals for naval limitation"
 Arthur J. Balfour head of the British delegation in Washington, Is given warm praise by several of the newspapers, and the American oiler for a reduction in her own and British submarine tonnage is eXtolled as the next best thing, to abolition, which Great Britain desired.
 Failing acceptance of the British scheme of abolition the American proposal must be pressed persistent 1v." says the Daily News, which finds it impossible to see how big build ing program can be upheld in the face of Anglo-American pressure.

THE AGE OF SMOKING
But When is a Girl Old Enough to
 Smoke? This Question is AgitatinS
Columbia.

' New York, Dec. 17.--When is girl old enough to smoke?
 This question has cropped up at Columbia university and today is puzzlng hundreds of co-eds who want to be told why Barnard college rules say nothing about use of the sooth- ing weed in graduate dormitories and prohibit it in those of the under graduates.
 Undergraduate sentiment began to crystaze last week when two girls were caught smoking in their room in Whittier hall, detected by watch full monitor despite their every pre- stufGing kcyhole and transom cracks and laying down a harrage Of Incense. They were suspended.
 Someone suggested that there were no such rules in I'ournald hall, which houses only faculty and graduate stu dents. And then someone asked, and none vet has answered just when is girl old enough to smohe?'

IRISH FEELING FAYORS TREATY
This Is Sentiment Reflected il
 Dispatches to British Press

London, Dee. 27.-(By Associated Press) Sentiment throughout Ire land. as reelected in dispatches to London newspapers today is over whemingly in favor of the Irish peace treaty. Reports from various provinces indicate that fully 90 per cent. of the people in the PC coun- ties of southern Ireland want the pact ratified.
 This conforms predictions made when the Dali Eireann adjourned it's debate on the treaty last Thursday until January 3, that the recess would bring definite expression of the peO- ples will and the view is now put forward that when the Dali re-as sembles the treaty will be approved by a majority which will make an appeal to the country unnecessary.
 The Morning Posts correspondent says a rumor is afoOt of a possible sensation" before the Dali meets again. this being taken to mean that Famon De Valera intends to an nounce withdrawal of his opposition in view of the overwhelming weight of opinion for the treaty.
 The Times sent @ special cores pondent to County Clare, the council at which appealed to Mr. De Valera to abandon his opposition. Accord ing to the correspondent the coun- cil'8 action is endorsed with pride by vast majority of the people, Glare is known as the "banncr county from it's having been the traditional home of Irish political movements .',,~o" them Daniel O'Connel's eman-
 1"d Charles Stew art Parnells land league struggle
 ,r,u tnc council as ., ,lg. uYed Hp to traditions.
 The reporter discussed the question with all ranks and classes of people, from high eCcleCilstiCs to menials, and says that, while he heard nothing in disparagment of Nr. De Valera, he was assured that from 70 to 80 per cent. of the county favors the treaty, The minority he believed to be mostly members of the Irish republican ar,ny.
 The Dublin correspondent of the Times cites as evidence of the public support of the treaty the fact that a long letter from Erskine Childers published in the newspapers Saturday explaining and supporting the alter native oath of allegiance ascribed tC MT De Valera attracted little interest Moreover it was regarded as a breach of the arrangement made before the Dails rising that none of the mem bers would issue controversial state ments during the recess and was in. terpreted as an indication that Dc Nalera's party is increasingly in feal of defeat.
 Arthur Griffith, one of the leading pro -ratihcationists countered the let ter with statement declaring it in accurate as regards Mr. Childer's ac count of how the alternative oath wa' | discussed by the Irish delegates t' i the London peace conference.
