PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 12.-When
it was announced that those ancient
enemies, Great Britain and Ireland,
had reached an agreement, it gave
the English-speaking peoples thrill
something akin to that which was
felt when the armistice was signed.
The antagonism between the British
and the Irish reaches back into the
centuries so far that it has become
as much a part of our consciousness
as are the workings of our solar sys-
TEN. 1t had almost taken its place
among those natural phenomena
reckoned as immutable. Consequent
ly, it is difficult to grasp the entire
significance of the pact which was
signed in London last week between
the representative Of Great Britain
and Ireland
The plan finally adopted is in almost
every particular the one which has been
advocated. early and late for the last
three years by that modest and eminent
Irish statesman. Sir Horace Plunkett If
lis counsel had been needed, the acute and
distressing situation which has disturbed
the English speaking world for the last
eighteen months could not have occurred.
He repeatedly appealed for some such
plan Of dominion home rule as finally WAS
adopted and ne forecast its acceptance
by both Great Rritain and Ireland.
Public opinion has driven both sides
to accept a settlement which each has de-
clared many times they would not ac

nations which seemingly are insoluble can
be composed as readily as differences be

MARTINSVILLE, Ind, Dec. 12.-Mrs.
Nellie KirofT, the girl wife of Carl Kiroff
who was found guilty of manslaughter
for the murder Of her husband by a jury
here last week. this afternoon began her
fight to securc a new trial.
Attorney Panl Wetteg, pauper attorney
OF Marion County, argued that Mrs. Kiroff
was entitled to a new trial on the
grounds of error. The motion for new
trial sets mp that the court erred in not
permitting the defendant TO relate her
early life and to introduce proof that her
late husband was n prohibition yiolator.
The court in it's instructions 10 the jury
instructed the jury not to consider evi
dence rcla I've TO the alleged white mule"
activities of Kiroff and also not to con
slider the fact that Mrs. KirofT is soon to
become a mother.
The jury returned a verdict of man
slaughter which carries with il sen
tence Of from two 10 twenty one years in
prison. Mrs kiroff was not sentenced
when the jury returned its verdict on re
quest OF counsel. If the court should
overruIe the motion for new trial, it is
