GUERILLA WARFARE
MAY FOLLOW FARLEY.

London, November 29.-An lmme-
date problem in the Irish situation
which has not yet been decided is
whether armed hostility would follow
a complete disagreement or If 1t shall
prove possible to arrange an adj
journment of the negotiations and
meanwhile maintain the truce. The
governments military advisers have
been pointing out to it, 1t Is stated.
that ii would be easier for them to
deal with guerilla warfare in the
winter than in the spring, but the
general feeling against renewed
fighting Is so strong on all sides that
postpQnement of 1t is favored in In
fluential quarters, even though 1t is
realized that the same deadlock over
Sim Fein and Ulster might very
likely await the ministers at the end
of the period.
is that if the deadlock situation is
to be submitted to the people at
general election, such an election
would more conveniently be held in
February than now, when 1t would
dislocate the annual Christmas activ
ity of the nation. The latest idea on
the proper action for the government
to take. semi Officially advanced to-
day, is that the terms offered Ireland
be redrafted in treaty form and the
treaty be placed before the House
of Commons.
1t is suggested that the treaty
should embody the provision for an
all-Ireland Parliament, and yet give
North eastern Ulster, as that territory
should be defined by a boundary com
mission, the right to declare herself
out. either at once or after limited
period.
Neither the Sim Fein nor Ulster.

method, but it would exhibit to the

,rmer mayor Of Terrc Hautc

from James Lyons, a former mayor Of Terrc Hautc,
may be taken as typical:
While the overwhelming majority Of the
people here are opposed to the social and eco
nolnic theories of Mr.. Debs, there is not, per-
ES l1aps, a single man iii this city who enjoys to a $
greater degree than Mr.. Debs the afection,Sg
love and profound respect of the entire cons
munity. &
One would gather from this that the writer
holds the opinion entertained by so many other
people that Debs is in prison because of certain So
cial and conomicatheorie in which he believes and
which he breaches. Nothing Of the, sort. Debs is
in prison because he set himself in opposition to
the regularly constituted government of his cour-
try while the nation was at war, urging against OBJ
'servance of laws regularly enacted for the recruit
ing of the armies whose service the nation consid-
cred essential toSits security and its continued ex-
istence on the plan upon which it was established.
Such acts our congress and our courts have held to;
be seditious. These facts Debs knew. knowing
them he persisted, defying the government, and
urging others to do so. >#
We are willing to accept the testimony Of the
%neighbors that in his personal relations Mr.. Debs is
an anaiable and inofensiye individual. &Amiable
men have been known to commit murder. Some
very pleasant fellows are serving time for forgery
or enlightenment. In, the excess of their geniality
men have been known to commit bigamy. Some
Of these persons have been classified as Republi-
cans, some as Democrats, some as Socialists, and
SO forth. They are not being prosecuted for their
political opinions, nor does the fact that they are
pleasant companions make martyrs of them. They
have been Convicted of crimes, and are suffering
the penalty prescribed by law for those crimes.
Debs committed a crime. He admits his act and
declares his trial to have been fairly conducted and
his conviction in accord with the. evidence The
sentence imposed is, as a matter of record, within
the discretionary powers of the court.
There is just one basis on which Debs may be
pardoned, and that is as a gratuitous act of mercy
to an unrepentant criminal who, though in good
health, is an old man, and who is not likely to have
an opportunity to repeat his crime, because it is inn
probable that the nation will again be at war, at
least in his time. Should he be freed he will be at
liberty to proclaim his social and economic theories
wherever he can get people to listen to him.. The
government does not concern itself, and has not
concerned itself with his opinions on those subjects.
