We had smashed our big Cadillac limousine against railway gate, we had a blowout or two, were ia two air raids. and we had reached the British base just in time to see the morning boat leave for Folkstone The result was that we landed n London at dinner time.
 The memory of London in that fateful month of terrific crisis was sure 10 rise in contrast to the London which we found in March, 1921 The city then was unlighted-it did not have the doubtful advantage Of the famous blue lights of Paris.

One thing SC noticed aas tha; Prae- tieaily every Engiishman whom we met whose opinion we valued agreed that the Government had sadly messed the settlement Of the Irish question, and each and every one ef them also agreed that nothing vas more impos- sible than that Ireland should free herself from the British Empire, all of which Mir Hard explains at length and most interestingly in his articles in the Metropolitan.
 How England as well as Ireland is suffering in a struggle whose tragedy we in America do not yet realize to its fullest extent, we had excellently exempliiied for us on the afternoon Of Easter Sunday. We were visiting m a country house in somersetshire where the only son had served with distinction in the four years of the war. The telephone bel rang and the young man went to answer. He returned, white Of face with the news that his companion in arms, the last Of three cons. two Of whom had been killed in Fsanee, had been shot through the back as he =leRt in his Irish barracks the previous night. This was but one of the items that make the daily newspaper is' of tragedy Again, from the lips of one of the old lace women who came aboard our ship at Queenstown or the homeward voyage we heard suct tales ef the ae- tions of the English military police as te make our hair stand oa enl.

Any American who goes abroad Is sure to hear a great deal of ehafiing about prohibition, yet we found the English suffering intensely from a va riety of prohibition which. consider Ing the present American permanent drought would seem like blessed boon to the legion who. consider the Yolsted act the most vicious attack on personal liberty that has been passed in the history of democracy War drinking laws still prevail in England. What iz more and i1 direct contrast to the joyous manner in which the most upright American citizens are breaking the eighteenth amendment 10 The Constitution tho EHehsh law

At that hour thr bars open and they remain open aatil 2 3e o'clock in the afternoon At 230 o'= clcek sharp they close not te reopen until 6 o'clock, when the remain open until TO o'clock and then again close promptly.
 With an eye 10 American breach and evasion of the eighteenth amend ment, t was always interesting for Us Go watch the quiet manner in which the law was obeyed in London For instance. in the smoke room of one of the larger hotels. prior to the noon hour. We once heard an American, ev- idently quite used to breaking the li- quor law at home. beg the barmaid for a morning draught shortly before noon. Did the shilling he proffered as a lip tempt the barmaid? Not at all She continued quietly Co work at her sewing until the noon hour struck. There was no attempt Co break the laW or Co evade it Likewise. in the lounge Of the theatres, should the mystic hour Of ten strike during the entractc the youzg woman who opens the soda bottles does not con tnue to serve waiting line bu, she shuts up shop promptly and firmly and the law holds its own.
 Further restriction of drinking is enforced through the prevention Of sale of strong drink in the bulk except on certain days of the week and all liquors sold, as prominent signs in- form ali patrons. are thirty per cent weaker chan then pre-war strength The English don't like these laws and they say so The ides of total pro hihiiion certainly among the majority of Euelishmen whom We met Is to- tally ahhorrent to them. and ,hc "nofa. or Defense of the Realm Act under which the restriction laW wore passed. s .he nest detested act u the history af English constitutional Law

If a girl suggested TO two suitors

it. That fact ought TO lend support 10
the suggestion Of q woman, Miss Bina
Best. that the wars of the future be-
tween nations be settled the same way
and avoid the vast property losses that
result from modern military strife. IL
wars are unavoidable. she says why
not let armies meet on the battlefield
without guns of any kind, roll up their
sleeves. and tie into it in the most man
ly way and fight it out until one side is
ready TO quit. There would be less
suffering by nOn-cOmbatants and no
destruction of homes. The killed and
manned would be reduced to a mini
mum, and the result would be as def
mite and decisive for if one side was
thoroughly whipped it would know it
just the same as if the war was accom-
panied by great slaughter and loss Of
guns and other proper It
would reduce expenses to a minimum.
Might be worth suggesting to the arms
limitation conference. We believe that
Ireland and America would agree to it.
