SPLIT IN RANKS
OF THE SINN FEIN
PLEASES ULSTER
Few Developments in Situa-
ton Are Expected Until
Meeting of Dali Eireann
Wednesday

London, December 10.-No striking
developments in Irish affairs are ex-
pected before the middle Of next
week. The prime minister is spend
ing the weekend at Chequers Court;
he had no further meeting today with
Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier,
who conferred with Austen Chamber
lain, the government leader in the
House, and will report to his cabinet
in Belfast on Monday.
In the meantime nothing is likely
to be known of listers attitude to-
ward the settlement, more especially
since the revelation of the split in
the Sim Fein, which was received
with a show of satisfaction in Ulster.
The most significant news of the
day was the converting of the meet
ing of the Catholic hierarchy in
Dublin on Tuesday, which, In view
of the opinions already expressed by
the bishops, is expected to make a
decided pronouncement in favor o.
the treaty.
About 100 members Of the Dali
Eireann will attend the Wednesday
meeting, and of these at least so. &C
cording to the estimates of Arthur
Griffith and his followers, will vote
Tor the treaty. Even this substantial
majority, in the opinion of the same
men. will be exceeded should the Dali
Eireann, as is considered quite posi-
BILE, decide TO refer the question to
plebiscite of the Irish people.
There was much unofficial discus
sion of the situation among the mem
bers of the Dali Eireann in Dublin
today, but whatever differences OF
opinion prevail they do not disturb
the good feeling, and there seems to
be a determination on the part OF
both Sim Feiners and the govern
ment that the truce shall not be. vio-
lated. This desire to preserve the
utmost friendliness was emphasized
by Michael Collins in a statement to
the Associated Press correspondent.
The belief seems to prevail in Bel
fast that should the disagreement in
the Sim Fein result in the retire
ment of Mr.. DeValera, bringing Mr..
Griffith to the premiership, with Mr..
Collins as finance minister, accom-
mediation between the north and the
south would prove easier than if Mr.
DeValera were head of the southern
government.

Student Publication More
Elaborate Than Ever.
Bell Is Manager
BY HILTON UPTON

Work on the ntre-Nous, the an
nual student publication at Howard

bers of the staff during the past
week, both by election and appoint
ment, and plans adopted call for the
most elaborate annual ever produced
at Howard, according to stateme nts
by the editor chief, John J. Brew
ton. Brewton and the business man
ager jefferson j. Bell, have been
planning the publication since their
election earlier in the fall. Saturday
morning the completed staff was
made public, after elections by the
different classes and appointments by
the editor and business manager.
The two were elected by the stu
dent body and one assistant was
chosen by each of the four classes.
Two associate editors, the organiza-
ton, athletic and cartoon editors
were appointed by the editor-in-chief.
The business manager appointed the
assistant business manager, three as
sociates, circulation and assistant cir
culation managers, and the assem-
bling editor. The Entre-Nous is no
longer published by the senior class
as formerly, but by the student asso-
citation and each student pays SO as
part of his activity fee toward the
expenses of publication.
Special Features
Brewton, editor in chief, declared
that this annual will be by far the
best ever put out at Howard and as
good as anything seen in Alabama
IT will contain 200 pages, an increase
of so over the highest previous num-
oil L.
arate pages devoted to pictures of
the class beauties. and an additional
four pages devoted to 16 beautiful
co-eds who will be selected later
Glass beauties have been elected as
follows: Senior, Claude Matthew's;
junior Miss Nellie Mae Casey: sopho-
more. 'the twins" Misses Eura and
Euna Abrams; and freshman, Miss
Sarah Bentley. Copies of the publ
cation will sell for 81 each outside
the student body.
John j. Brewton, editori in chief, is
member of the senior class and has
been editor of the Howard Crimson,
weekly publication of the student
body, for the past two years. Jeff
Bell. business manager, is also a
senior and has been business man
ager of the Crimson for the past two
years. Under the management of
these two men the Howard Crimson
has been raised from a four column,
four-page semiweekly paper to the
plane of five-column, eight-page
weekly and now ranks among the
very best student publications in the
south.
Other officers of the Entire Nous
are as follows; Miss Annie Boyett,
senior editor; Miss Jessie Freeman,
Junior class editor; Fred White. soph-
omore editor; II. L. Thompson, fresh
man editor; Nelson Willis. organiza-
tions editor; Turner Jordan, athletic
editor; John L. Godsey, cartoonist;

l.. Harrison, who is sponsoring this
movement, outlined his plan for the
tree. He stated that his idea was to
make it a tree for everybody and
while 1T was largely for the purpose
of making many children happy who
would otherwise have no Christmas
1T would in no way be given in the
sense of the word charity. Only
fruits. candy and nuts should be dis
tributed, in his opinion, although he
declared the plans were to be worked
out by the committee in charge. The
city, he stated. will furnish the tree
decorations, and will, in all prob
across Twentieth street leading to
Capital park, where the tree will be
held, he stated, and the various clubs
will be asked to handle the matter of
getting the fruits and things to be
distributed as we'll as the distribu-
| ton of them.
Large Attendance Favored
DR.. George r. Stuart. pastor of the
First Methodist church. stated that
Il Al. n.
tree for all was beautiful one, and
that 1t should be attended by every
one in a community spirit. At the
same time, he stated that commit
tee should be appointed to see that
the children who would have no
Christmas receive most of the good
les distributed.
In speaking of the number of un-
employed men around the city hall,
Dr. Stuart stated he had talked to
many of them and the majority were
from other cities and some were not
looking for work and would not even
accept jobs.
Mrs. w. L. Murdoch spoke of the
two municipal Christmas trees she
had attended in New York city and
| Boston and how the people from
miles around came to the celebration.
She made a motion that the council
of clubs indorse the municipal Christ
mas tree movement and Cooperate
with the committee sponsoring it.
| The Christmas tree committee
which is composed of representatives
from all civic organizations and clubs
in the city will meet at IL o'clock
tomorrow morning and plans will be
worked out regarding the tree. Ac-
cording to preliminary plans, the dis
tribution of fruits will be made on
| Saturday evening, December "a. and
on Christmas evening an appropriate
musical program will be rendered.
