There was one little CLEAN Of the
sun of peace through the murk Of the
Irish situation last week. Sir Will
liam Goulding Of Dublin, a prominent
railway man. and three southern Irish
unionsts, conferred with Cardinal
Logue, prlmate of Ireland, at Dundalk,
with the object of securing the open
Ing of negotiations between the Irish
republican parliament and the British
government. Meanwhile there is no
cessation Of the struggle between
the Sim Felners and the British
police and soldiers in the island,
every day bringing its stories of at
tacks, usually with bombs, on the aux
illaries and of the reprisals of the lat
ter.
The commission of the volunteer
committee of one hundred which has
been conducting In this country an in
qulry into the Irish question has made
It's report. Admitting that it labored
under the disadvantage of lacking
the official British side of the case"
the commission declares that "the
imperial British army In Ireland has
been guilty of proved eXcesses, not in
comparable in degree and kind with
those alleged by the Bryce report on
Belgium atrocities, to have been COM
mtted by the imperial German army"
The report says the Irish people have
had the protection of neither British
nor international law and that they
have been Systematically subjected to
terror which. however, has failed
TO re-establish imperial British civil
government and to suppress the Irish
republic. The published summary of
the report does not show that the Irish
are blamed for anything except the
secret execution of spies, traitors and
enemies of the Irish republic who were
condemned In ex parte hearings.

Discussion of one OF the adminlstra-
the railways-was taken up in earnest
last week, and though to the lay mind
1t seems almost lnSOlvable, the ex-
perts In such matters believe 1t will
be solved by the Interstate commerce
commission and the railroad labor
board working in closer conjunction
than had been contemplated when the
latter was created. Senator Cummlns
and Representative MOndell assert the
machinery under the transportation
act is adequate in the situation and
that no further legislation will be
needed 1t Is the position Of the Pres
Jdent and his advisers that the gov
eminent should do all it can to facil-
itate the return Of the railroads to
former conditions. and II Is admitted
that both high freight rates and high
wages must be reduced. Present
rates are undoubtedly retardlng great
ly the movement of commodities, es-
pecially farm products and the roads
suffer in revenue accordingly. OF
course the railway unions are oppos-
ing any reduction in wages, asserting
this would be unnecessary were it not
for willful extravaganza on the part
of the railroad arrangements. The
senate committee on interstate com.
meree plans an investigation that shall
establish the truth or falsity of the
charges made by organized labor.

The vigorous Greek offensive against
the Turkish nationalists in Asia Minor
progressed merrily until Eskishehr was
reached. At this railway Junction
where the Greeks were defeated some
months ago, disaster again overlook
Them according to dispatches from
Constantinople, and after a day-long
battle they were forced to retreat
after losing many in killed and cap
tured. The report Of the Greek defeat
may be exaggerated, for 1t emanates
from Kemaist sources.
Greek successes In Asia Minor are
not pleasing to any but the Greeks,
and possibly the British, and even
the Irregular" Turkish government at
ConStantinople protested to the allies
against the Greek offensive. Italy es-
peclally is sore, and relations between
Athens and Rome were strained when
Greece announced n blockade of Asia
Minor and accused the Italians of
smuggling war munitions to Renal
Pasha. The French fear that proposed
occupation by the Greeks of the Oar
danelles will insure British control of
that important waterway, and Rou-
mania has entered formal and bitter
protest against the composition Of the
commission controlling the Darda-
nelles, insisting upon equal voting pow
or with the Greeks and the Turks.
Bulgaria will not overlook any chance
to regain Thrace from the Greeks but
the latter hope to obtain the support
of the Serbs in any conflict over that
territory by helping them In Albania
and Macedonia. Thus, according TO
world diplomats, war clouds are once
more appearing over the Balkans.
