a." They have won from a foe
of six centuries a practically uncon-
ditional surrender.
The invitation which the spokes-
men for Ireland have accepted is to
"a conference stripped of all limita-
tons except that it i to explore
'"how the association of Ireland
with the community of nations
known as the British Empire may
best be reconciled with Irish ma
Stional aspirations.
Gone are the catalogued condi-
tons which made the first British
offer a travesty on its claim of a
dominion status.
They may arise again, they pre-
sumably will arise again during the
conference, but the representatives
,of Ireland enter as free men, with an
unprecedented right to sit as equals.
They enter as the acknowledged
spokesman of Irish national aspira-
tons, which is an immense advance
over their status in British eyes only
a few short months ago, when the
government which now beckons
them to conference was berating
them as a "murder gang"
The valor of the Irish troops, the
patient courage Of the Irish people
have been matched by the diplo-
matte skill of the Irish political lead
ers in bringing the issue of justice
thus auspiciously to meeting place.

A 7 last that has happened which
~ we always expected.

"a we always expected.
50 Some things ought to occur
lin the nature of the case. The fact
that they do not should not preju-
dice US. 1t is an argument of i'm
f'patience. If we wait long enough
they will come along. They have to.
For instance, you take bully,
AN offensive, thrusting, badgering
! sort of a bounder, who terrorizes
/: his wife, browbeats his stenog-
rapher, bulldozes his customers and
hectors his competitors; as sure as
guns iron, sooner or later he will
get his punishment.
So also the pigeon-headed girl,
the smart aleck boy, the biting
woman, the man who cheats, also
all liars, takers and humbugs gen
orally, it is only question of time
till, as we say in our crude Ameri-
can language, they will get theirs.
Now, there is one thing which
simply had to happen, that is, in the
extremely hot weather of the past
summer somebody had to take his
or her clothes off and run around
naked. 1t was the logical thing.
And you can't beat logic.
So one day, in Paris, France, along
about the first of August, sure
enough, gentleman shocked clean
down to the epidermis. He didn It
feel he needed clothes, and he did
not care for them as camouflage.
Hence he got all ready for bath
and went out in the street.
He was arrested. As anybody
who follows sheer reason as to gar
ments will be arrested.
He was hailed before the magis-
trate.
Itseemed sure thing that he was
a lunatic. Nobody cared to dispute
the charge. And the Judge was
about to commit him to the asylum
when the prisoner held up his hand
and asked permission to speak.
-~Whereupon he delivered himself
of these outrageous, vile, revolu-
tionary and dangerous words, be-
cause they were perfectly true and
sensible, and what can be more in
tolerable that that9
81 am not insane because am
nude" he said. "You people are in
sane for wearing high starched col
lars, heavy wooden suits of clothing,
tight shoes and heavy felt hats, dur
ing this torrid heat, when the Their
mometer is around a hundred and
you can fry an egg on the court
house steps"
Of course, no attention was paid
to such incoherent mouthings and
the man was led away to his cell.
Once more civilization was saved.

The March
of EUentS
BULGARIAN mission is on the
way to Angora to negotiate a

treaty of recognition and
amity with the government of Ke-
NAL Pasha. AS Bulgaria is neigh
Dor to Turkey in Europe and not
to Turkey in Asia Minor, this action
is significant of Bulgarian official
belief that the Anatolian Turks will
again return to possess European
Turkey.
If affairs were normal within the
empire, England would never let go
her present grip upon CONSTANT
nople, but the serious conditions in
England and in Ireland and the
widespread revolt of the Moham-
medans in India, inspired by British
possession of Constantinople, make
the retention of the Turkish capital
a dangerous risk.
Evidently the Bulgars believe that
England will not take that risk.
Germany is on the brink of bank
ruptcy. If this catastrophe does
occur, the whole economic system of
Europe will 80 to pieces, and the
repercussion upon our own indus
trial activities will be prolonged and
very injurious.
The Allies refuse to accept repair
alton payments in goods and de-
mand gold. Germany has already
paid a billion marks gold and is re-
quired to pay 750,OOO,0OO more
marks gold within the next three
months. The efforts to buy this
gold abroad compel the continued
expansion of the paper currency, and
this again automatically depreciates
the value of the paper mark. This
process cannot go on much longer.
The mark will lose all value and
Germany will be a country without
a currency.
No civilized nation can carry on
without money. Trade stops, bust
ness stops, employment stops, and
then come idleness, want, hunger,
and angry despair in the van of
riot, revolution and furious destruc-
ton.
Unless the responsible leaders of
Europe show better sense than they
have shown since 1913, the immedi-
ate future of Europe will be black
and terrible.
Everybody is being urged to buy
goods, to spend money as freely as
possible. That is good advice, too.
But only little while ago the same
bankers and business men who are
now urging buying were even more
fervently beseeching the people to
spend less.
At that time we pointed out the
underlying folly Of the so-called
thrift and saving campaign. No ma
ton becomes prosperous or rich by
scrimping and boarding. An individ-
ual may do so, but a nation cannot.
The nation which spends most and
consumes most will always have
most. That is a fundamental eco
nomic law.
1t surely is a pity that men who
control the legislation and finances
of our country are not compelled to
take at least a primer course of in
struction in economics.
