what he will be able to accomplish
in the future.
II is extremely doubtful whether
the Irish leaders would have agreed
TO 20 to London without guarantees
from SHUTS that the British govern
ment was prepared TO DISCUSS
settlement upon basis far more n ~
eral in its terms than any II mas
ever nroposed to the Irish direct,
There is strong evidence that the
liberality of these tentative terms
is due largely to the pressure put
upon the British government py
Smuts and the other dominion pre-
miers who have been attending the
imperial conference in London dur
ing the past few weeks:
Assuming the correctness OF TINS
Interpretation of the situation, tne
final settlement, If there is one, may
be expected to give to Ireland the
same position in the empire held by
Australia. Canada and the other do
Two things are clear. First, the
British government will not consent
to the withdrawal of Ireland from
the empire and the creation OF an
Irish republic. Second, the Irish
leaders have finally become con
vinced of this and also OF their In :
ability to accomplish their complete
independence by force.
If, as seems likely, SHUTS has con-
WINGED the Irish leaders that the po-
sition of Ireland as self governing
dominion will carry with 1t certain
advantages that would not attach
to ireland as an independent repub-
lie. and that in any event an Irish
republic is not within the possibili-
ties, the greatest obstacles to a solu-
ton of the Irish problem have been
removed.

escape.
For more than 800 days, according
to eye witnesses, the lava had been
pouring steadily from the side of the
mountain, when suddenly the stream
of fire changed it's course and bore
down on the city of Hilo. The ef-
forts of the white men failed to stop
the approach of disaster, so Hawaii
ans took the matter into their own
hands.

Royal Hawaiian blood was said to
bear weight with Pele, goddess of the
volcano, so Princess Ruth at Homo

the call and, as she gazed towards
the mountain with her coterie of fol-
lowers behind her, she could see the
track of destruction extending up
ward, mile after mile, while at its
forefront, almost on the edge of the
city, trees were burning and great
column Of smoke were ascending.
A platform had ben built in the path
of the flow and as Princess Ruth
mounted it's steps, sacrifices of pigs
and chickens were offered to the
angry goddess Of the volcano. The
princess, on her knees, appealed to
Pele to spare Hilo. And the how

foot of this hill today is to be seen
the face of the lava flood, as it piled
up and hardened in 1881 when the
Princess Ruth came to the rescue OF
her people.
