Says Irish Peace
lis Nearer Than
For $50 Years
Sir Hamar Greenwood Calls
Meeting of Craig With
DE Valera Best Thing i'm
Modern History of Erin
Home Rule Act Basis
Sinn Fein Continues. Its
Attacks ON Police, Two
Being Killed i'm Ambush

+ DUBLIN, May 7 (By The Associated
Press) s).-Sir Hamar Greenwood, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, speaking to-day
of the recent conference of Sir Jane s
Craig, Premier Designats Of Ulster,
and Eamon de Valera, Irish republi-
can leader, declared the meeting was
the most hopeful sign for peace in
Ireland in 750 years.
"It is not only the best thing that
has happened in modern Irish history -
Sir Hamar said, "but the most hopeful
thing in 75o years. No Englishman,
Welshman or Scotsman wants to run
Ireland. Ireland must settle her prob
lem herself. Therefore the meeting
OF Sir James and Mr.. de Valera is an
extremely significant sign, and in con-
nection with it I must praise the
courage OF Sir James, who consented
TO accompany strangers. whom he knew
TO be enemies, In a motor car from
my lodge to the meatlng place. He
went alone and unattended"
ASKED whether Sir James had been
nllndtolded, as was the correspondent
when he recently interviewed Mr. de
Valera, Sir Hamar said: "Not at all:
ne went with his eyes. wide open:"
Meeting Establishes Precedent
The Chief Secretary pointed out and
emphasized that this was The first time
on record that the representatives of
northern and southern Ireland had
consented to meet for a friendly dis
cuss1on OF the different points of view.
He declared himself extremely opti
mistic over the outlook for a settle
ment.
When asked if there was any possi-
Dlllty of an Irish settlement before the
Parliamentary elections Sir Hamar
said:
"The present British government has
one virtue--its consistency-which will
be followed first,slast and all the time.
Inere is no question as to the govern
ment going on with the elections The
Irish question must be settled through
the Home Rule act. After the cleo
;tlons the atmosphere will be cleared
and we shall all be in better position
to discuss matters than now.
THE Home Rule act is no more a
partition and plunder act, as it has
been termed, than was the separation
of West Virginia from Virginis. or
North and South Carolina"
Sir Hamar emphasized that Ireland
must settle her own affairs just as "if
California or Texas, say, had differ
ences, the United States government
would leave the question to those two
states to adjust"

Another man in Fridays list, Edward

French served as lieutenant-com-
mander in the navy during the war.
His family resides at 81 Rutland Road,

take was due to the fact that French
had registered with both the army and

Rybnik: Berlin Threatens

KREUzBURG. Silesia, May7 (By The
! Associated Press).-German Reichs.
wehr officers have assumed control OF
the Kreuzburg district, and 2,ooe
army rifles have been issued and
guards thrown about the town to. de-
fend it against threatened attack by
Poles, who are camped in front of
Rosenberg. The Polish army is esti-
mated at 5000. with several scores of
machine guns.
The inter-Allied officials are help
less, the French troops having been
withdrawn two days ago for service at
Rybnik. The Entente's REPRESENTATIVES,
are seven French civilians. a British
major and an Italian civilian. Their
position is not a pleasant one. The
townspeople are highly excited and are
angry with the French for having
withdrawn their troops at a critical
time.
The German leaders have informed
the lnter-Allied Commission that they
have no intention of attacking Rosen-
berg, but would confine themselves to
defensive actions. The Entente rep
resentatives have appealed to the Poles.
In advance they were told that sooner
or later the Poles would occupy Ereuz-
burg, probably Sunday. At that time
the Allied officials were negotiating for
an exchange of eighty German police
held by the Poles in Rosenberg for
ITO prisoners held by the Germans.
Germans Threaten Reprisals
The Polish attitude incensed the
German leaders, who notified the Inter
sAilled Commission that the Germans
would hold no conversations with the
rebels and would not agree to an ex-
change of prisoners, but if the Poles
carried out their threats to shoot Ger
man police the Germans would be
forced to reprisals against Polish
prisoners.
The Germans received shipment of
arms and ammunition from the Reichs-
wehr depot at Breslsu to-day, sufficient
to equip 1000 men. The officers say,
however, that probably not more than
5000 will be immediately armed, the
remainder of the guns being issued
when the Poles attack.

that group as place-hunting had to be
often rebuked. Judas would have first
place and in many respects deserved
it. But losing it for anyone else to
fill would rouse all his ire against that
person. But there could be only the
indirect voicing of it in the presence
of the open joy of Jesus at her action.
1t was a costly thing. Three hundred
days wage is no small matter to
squander in sentiment. He could speak
of that if he was prohibited from say
ing anything against the act itself,
and his voice cut calmly and judicially
across the hum of surprise at her
deed. The others caught the note of
disapproval and his following-for so
strong a man had it-frst approved
and perhaps the rest added their muir
murs to the dash oftcold sense upon
the flame of affection. hey forgot to
offer their places at the label to the
poor while they condemned the waste
of fragrance. No protest against their
own share in the feast of affection for
their Lord, but against His share
then the poor were invoked.
THE CHRIST.
Christ was ever "God Almighty's
Gentleman" With His soul lifted to
unusual eXaltation in the understand
ing of the hidden meaning of Mary's
gift that as the broken flask released
an undying fragrance, so the breaking
of the flask of His flesh would become
a deathless thing such cold sordidness
reused every chivalrous instinct to the
defense of the girl covering under
the criticism. Her flaming face asked
the question, did You, too, misunder-
stand?" Swift speech hushed the
murmurs and lifted the entire affair
into the realms of Immortality. Sen
timent should never be banished from
the religion of love. Price is never to
be the measure of devotion to a Lord
whose love is priceless. Gifts may be
large or small, but the affection they
carry must be unstinted Self must
be forgotten in the sentiment that car
ries one where no other power can.
Nothing but love can crown Love.
