There is something in THE Sin
that Was His that somehow re-
minds one of the logic of Victor
Hugo and the human nature insight
OF J. NJ. Barrie. Without the satire
Of Hugo there is still a strain in this
story that somehow recalls Les Mis-
cradles, possibly this being in the
dramatic handling; and you can't
help thinking of Barrie's Little
Minister" If you can forget for the
moment a mere matter of stature.

W.U. REFUSED
CABLELANDINC
State Department Denies Company
Was Given Permission to
Land at Miami.

Washington, July 9.-(United
Press.)-The United States govern
ment has not given permission to
the Western Union to land the
Miami cable on the Amer
ican shore, it was announced at
the state department today.
What has been done, officials ex-
planned, is to grant permission to
the Western Union to repair a wire
across Biscayne bay, which runs
under a causeway.
This permission was only grant
ed after assurances had been re-
ceived from the Western Union that
it would not take this opportunity
to land the disputed cable at
Miami.
The application for landing this
cable is still under consideration
by the state department, officials
said.
A long controversy has ensued
over this cable. President Wilson
refused to allow it to be landed on
American soil because it was to be
connected by cable at Barbados
A naval war vessel was sent tc
Miami to prevent the landing.
Whether Secretary OF State
Hughes will finally uphold the pol
icy of the last administration II
Withholding permission to land the
cable is to be determined later.

SINN FEINERS, BLACK
and TANS FRATERNIzE
IN STREETS OF DUBLIN
ULSTER PAPERS
RECEIVE IRISH
TRUCE COLDLY

Belfast, July 9.-(By the Associ-
ated Press 1.-THE new development
| in Irish politics was coldly receiv-
ed in Belfast
Trucking to the murder gang
the Belfast News captions its edi-
torial on the truce, saying there
are complications in the Downing
street truce announcement which
are disquieting Ito all loyal sub
jects of the king and repulsive to
all honorable men"
Editorial is Bitter.
The first implication, says the
News Letter, is that an agreement
has been reached between the pre-
i mier of the United Kingdom and
the president of the Irish republic
| whereby the latter undertakes that
the murder of police, soldiers and
loyal citizens, the burning of res
| licences of Unionists in the south
and west. the wrecking of trains,
seizure of the mails, and cutting OF
wires, the robbing of postothces,
and the other outrages which the
rebels are perpetrating shall cease
Monday noon, but meantime they
are free to commit as many as they
can"
The second implication, the news
paper declares, is that active par
ticipants are not murderers, but
patriotic belligerents.
Britain Condones Murders.
The third implication it cons1d-
ers equally serious, as hitherto
the government has maintained the
position that the ambushing OF sol
diers and police, and the shooting
of unarmed persons dressed as CIV
lilians, are murderers, properly
punishable by death.
"The chief secretary has stated
this again and again. Now that po'
sition is abandoned and the claim
of the Sim Feiners that they arr
. honorable belligerents seems to b.
admitted.
But what follows from such al
admission? The government ma
shot or hanged a number OF then
and consequently has been quilt!
of murder and inexcusable viola
ton of international law.
The Northern Wig, In its com
ment on the new developments says
Not "a Truce OF God"
Whatever the government ma!
promise or protest, we doubt /
they will be able entirely to remove
the fear that their first descent int
the valley of humiliation will no
only fail to bring peace to Ireland
but may ultimately be the means Of
causing many faithful British sub
jects to pass through the valley Of
t+ba cbadow Of death Until the out
look is much clearer than now, we
dare not call this truce of God"
The Irish News expresses conf
ldepce that the conference will be
held. The time is opporrune, II
says, and IF peace with honor can
be- secured no man or body of men
lin Ireland or Great Britain can
throw the opportunity aside with
lout incurring burden of respon-
sibility too heavy to be borne"
