MORE evidently than ever before,
AV1 peace In Ireland is up to Ulster,
If the guesses OF the London corre-
spondents are correct The Sim Fein.
1t is said, has submitted specific plans
which the government thinks may be
feasible If Ulster agrees to them.
Consequently, the cabinet asked Sir
James Craig, the Ulster premier, to
go to London for consultation. The
plan, II Is believed, provides for the
extension Of powers and the democra-
tization OF the council of Ireland to
make II really national parliament,
with Ulster consenting to come In as
province. retaining its autonomy. The
scheme would call for plebiscite in
the counties Of Fermanagh and Ty-
rome. to determine whether they should
adhere to southern Ireland or Ulster.
So far the utterances Of the Ulster
leaders indicate that they will not
countenance anything leading to the
diminution Of the area under the con-
troll Of the Ulster government. How
ever the Sim Fein delegates were very
hopeful last week that common
sense agreement would be reached be-
fore long.
NEXED by the predatory designs
of the little entente against Hun
gary, and the demands made on that
nation, the allied powers came to the
rescue. and ordered the little entente
to stop Its military plans against Hun
garians. They also demanded that
Hungary should surrender former EN-
peror Karl and his wife, and should
at once pass a law deposing for all
time the Hapsburg family. The ma
tional assembly was called together
In Budapest, and a bill introduced
that would have this effect, and that
postpones the election Of new king
until more favorable date. Karl
| and Zita were turned over to the Brit
ish. placed on q gunboat and started
on their way to exile. probably on
one Of the Madeira islands.

to central Europe. Both Greece and
Jugo-Slavia. 1t Is reported, have In
vaded poor Albania, one from the
south and the other from the north.
And General Petlura has started an
other serious revolt In the Ukraine
against the Russian soviet govern
ment. Large bodies Of his supporters
from Rumania and Poland swarmed
across the border and gained control
OF virtually all Of Podolia, capturing
Kaminetz-Podolsk and other cities.
| COVIET Russia, through Foreign
- Minister Tchitcherin, has made
overtures to the rest Of the world, ask
| Ing especially that the United States,
Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan
make peace with the republics Of Rus
| sia and the Far East. He says the
soviet government is prepared to rec
| ognize the debts Russia contracted
previous to 1914, including the enor-
nous bond issues held mostly In
| France. This new step Of the Lenin
government toward conservatism has
not so far aroused great enthusiasm
among the other nations, though Great
Britain Is sufficiently interested to ask
for further particulars.
4 CCORDING to reports received
\ by the federal permanent commit
tee on unemployment, the number
Of jobless workers In the United States
has decreased by about one-third dur
Ing the last month, being now approx
imately 2,0OOOOO. The mills In the
South are again busy. blast furnaces
In the steel centers are starting up,
and the railroads are taking on addi-
tional shop workers To Offset this, the
coal miners Of Indiana nearly all quit
work In protest against federal
court decision against the check
or system Of collecting union dues.
There was much talk about the walk
out becoming general, but this seemed
unlikely, unless President Lewis Of the
United Mine Workers should issue
mandatory strike orders. New York
and the surrounding towns were sub
jected to deprivation and confusion
by strike Of milk wagon drivers,
and the job printing houses OF the Chi
cago district faced possible strike
OF their employees for higher wages
and against return to the 4S-hour
week.
THE Democratic party has not been
L satisfied with Its leadership since
the defeat at the polls last November,
so the other day the national commit
tee elected former Congressman Cor
dell Hull Of Tennessee as chairman. to
replace George White Of Ohio.
