chancellor was buried, 100000 work
men and employers in all parts Of
Germany left their work to take part
in meetings "for the republic and
against political murder" There is
little doubt that the government will
be able to control the situation in
Germany and in general keep the re-
dictionaries within bounds.
Over in Hungary one Lieutenant
Hejas is emulating the exploits Of
D'Annunzio in Fiume and Korfanty
in Upper Silesia. The treaty Of st.
German gave the territory of Burgen-
land to Austria, and the Hungarians
were highly displeased. Hejas trans
lated their feeling into action, organ
lied bodies of irregular troops and
seized considerable parts of the dis
puted region. The entente officials
and troops there were powerless to
stop them, but the Austrian govern
ment was given all moral support and
told to establish it's rule as best it
might Thousands Of Austrian troops
well equipped we're moved into the
territory and at latest reports were
preparing to start operations against
Hejas and his forces conferred at
Odenburg.
1t may be assumed that the Upper
Silesian row is ended, at least for the
present. The council of the League of
Nations has accepted the task of solv-
ing the problems involved and already
has begun their discussion. Mean
while the British, French and italian
governments have decided to send re-
endorsements to Upper Silesia and
have called on Germany to arrange
for their transportation
The victorious progress of the
Greeks in Asia Minor toward Angora
came to pause after they crossed the
Sakaria river. Their right wing found
itself in the salt desert where water
was scarce and many of the men were
stricken with malaria. The Turks at
tackled and In three days fighting the
Greeks were forced back across the
Sakaria and lost heavily in men and
material. At the same time they
found their communications threat
ened oh the extreme left wing by the
capture Of Bilejik by the Kemalists
However, the Greeks speedily rallied,
both on the right wing and in the cen
ter. and resumed their advance on
Angora. At this writing they are re-
ported as in contact with the Turkish
second line of defense at the lila
river.
dia-for each of the relatively small
wars demands some attention. On the
Malabar coast, where the Moplahs,
who are Mohammedans of Tartar de-
scent, have been in revolt, the British
have regained the upper hand and the
fanatics are reported to be fleeing into
the hills, having lost about 100 Of their
number Before they ran away, how
ever, they massacred many Hindus
and killed a number of British sol
dfers and civilians The Malabar
coast is under martial law and the
home-rule plans Of the Moplahs have
gone glimmering.
This brings us to Great Britain's
greater trouble-the Irish question
Premier Lloyd George, growing weary
as the rest of the world of the end
less row, told the Sim Feiners that
they must accept or reject his pro-
posals, for the constant exchange Of
notes was getting them nowhere.
Whereupon the Sim Feiners dis
patched another note to the premier
1t was drawn up by the Irish repub-
lican cabinet, for Dali Eireann had
adjourned after entrusting the cabinet
with plenary powers. The note was
carried by courier to Scotland, where
LLOYD George was taking a holiday,
and at this writing its contents are a
secret. If, as is probable, it is only
a further elaboration of the argu-
ments put forward by Sim Fein, the
premier is likely to lose the temper
over which he usually has such COM

In Belfast the truce was broken last
week, and for several days there was
continual and bloody fighting between
the nationalist and the Orangemen,
with number of fatalities. At first
the military there contented them
selves with patrolling the streets in
armored cars, pleading for peace But
when the lord mayor protested against
their inaction they adopted more Wig
orous methods, with good results.
