CHINA AND GERMANY DELAY
 RESTORATION OF RELATIONS

BERLIN, May China and Ger many are apparently no closer to an actual restoration of diplomatic relations than they were six months ago in spite of the fact that un- official delegations are at work in both countries trying to perfect a , treaty.
 Herr von Borch heads the Ger man delegation which is working in Peking, and Dr. Chang is chairman of the Chinese delegation which is living at the Chinese legation in Berlin.
 Although China passed resolution declaring it was at peace with Ger many, following the refusal of the Chimes to sign the Versailles treaty because of the disposition made of Shantung province, the Chinese gov ernment has not abrogated its legis- lation forbidding Germans to carry on business in China.
 i Consequently, German firms are unable to conduct business with the Chinese in the name of German citi- zens. While the Chinese war legis- lation is not rigidly enforced, it still stands on the Chinese statute books, and German trade is not re. garded as safe until there is some written agreement between China and Germany which will proven, legal complications.
 It now seems unlikely that China will sign a treaty with Germany until the United States devises some plan of restoring diplomatic rela. tions with Germany. China follow ed Americas lead in breaking of diplomatic relations with Germany and did not enter the war agains; the Central powers until the United States had done SO.
 When China entered the war ii was as an associated power, and not as an allied power of the Entente And now it stands with the United States as non-signatory to the Yer sailles treaty and critical of the pro- visions of that treaty. China is a member of the League of Nations, however, having gained admission to that body by signing the Austrian treaty.
 Theoretically, China is at peace with Germany. It has so declared itself by legal enactment But all the legal steps necessary for the re- storation of diplomatic relations must be taken before peaceful re- lations and commercial interchanges are possible.
 China and Germany have not ex- changed ministers and consuls. Dr. Chang has the same uncertain po- sition in Berlin that Ellis Loring Dresel, the American commissioner holds. Both the Chinese and Ameri- can representatives are in Germany merely through courtesy of the Ger man government. And Dr. Borch IS in Peking merely as recognized ne- ! gotiator without any diplomatic rights or privileges.

WILL HARMONIZE IRELAND

Efforts are being made to find a basis on which the divergent in terests of Ulster and Southern Ire land may be harmonized, says a correspondent of The Associated Press, writing from Dublin.
 Impetus has been given this move ment, which is regarded as an es- sential preliminary to any nego- tiations between the government and Sim Fein, by the Irish Domin- ion league whose executive commit tee is engaged in sounding the sen- timent of both sections with view to reporting its findings to the British government.
 It is understood there have been sufficient notifications of the views of politicians as we'll as business men of both Ulster and the South ern counties to inspire confidence 2 that their conflicting aspirations can be reconciled.
 The chief difficulty in the path of peace, it is believed, is to discover a common ground for discussion between the government and Dali Eireann. The refusal of the Dali to announce its minimum terms has given a setback to the attempt to bring the government and Sim Fein together. *:...... -..
 The general feeling here appears to be that Dail Eireann will stand pat on its demand for republic and will await definite proposals from the government.
 Military authorities take any but an optimistic view of the situation saying the forces now available are entirely inadequate to do more than hold their own while the Irish Re- publican army leaders boast of con- tinued improvement in the work of their organization.
 It is understood that the military is counting on the exhaustion of Re. publican funds as the only certain means of gaining the upper hand. They admit, however, that much time must elapse before even that , hope is realized
 Up to the present about s9,OOO,- 900 has been subscribed to the Re- publican loan, of which approxi- mately s5,OOO,O0O came from the United States. Dail Eireann is under heavy expense, the cost of propo- ganda alone running into big figures.
 Only about s5OO,OOo of the loan remains, it is asserted, hence ener- getic efforts are now being made to increase the amount by subscrip- tions at home

SOVIET THIRD DECREE BAD
 FEATURE OF IMPRISONMENT

RENAL, Esthonia, May 15-The worst phase of imprisonment Tn Moscow is not the possibility or pro- bability of execution but the daily attempts made to wiring confessions from the prisoners, according to pr, Morris Zuker, a Brooklyn communist, who arrived here recently after hay ing served four months in the Rus sian jails. Some of his experiences and observations have previously been made public. Zuker was given sentence of 60 years in New York in 1919 for sedition, but was de- ported instead.
 Speaking of the life of the prison CTS in the principal political prison at Moscow, which is called the 70. o. V." he said, "the daily third de- gree to which prisoners are suo- jected if they are suspected of serious political crime is worse than execution. These prisoners are talk en every day, if their captors think there is chance of wringing confession from them, into the ques- tioning room. There, whether they have anything to confess or not, they are commanded to reveal the truth
 "The commissar puts revolver to the prisoners head and commands confess, or I'll shoot The prisoner waits for the shot. He never knows whether it is coming or not.
 "This process is often repeated until the prisoner will confess rather than undergo any further or deals, in which case he is shot any way"
 The mental condition of these prisoners becomes such, Dr. Zuker says, that they would prefer death. The Brooklyn communist says that he met in the various prisons of Moscow a score of the radicals de- ported from America and that he could we'll understand why the Bol- sheviki arrested them, for they were chiefly anarchists who did not be- lieve in any government, "particu: larly in government so dictatorial as that maintained by the Bolshe- wiki" *..4.. ....
 Zukor says he found in prison al- so the president of the Turkestan soviet republic, Mohammed Hadjiz. General Alex Gerter, once command CT of the Russian Southwestern front, eight members of the ex- ecutive committee of the right wing of the Social Revolutionist party, three members of the executive com mittee of the left wing of that party, including Mayorieff, who was commissar of agriculture in 1918, and also a former minister of ec- clesiastical affairs, M. Samaun.
 Zuker described the summoning of prisoners for execution in much the same way as did Schwartz, the San Francisco communist, who came out of Russia some months ago. He added that executions were going on as late as March 27, and de- clared there had been no diminutio1 of the fred terror' in Russia.
