What Ulster has to decide is whether
she will or will not join the Irish Free
State and she must decide this within
one month. All her sentiments. reli-
glous and historical, will tend to keen
her isolated. But all her real interes sts
unite her with the rest of the country.
her banks have branches scattered
throughout Ireland and her finances
depend good dean upon the savings
OF farmers in the South. Her railways,
M ner postofiice and her other communi-
catlons are part of one system, which
includes Cork and Bel asst. Her laws
are identical. The exclusion of Ulster
is thus surgical operation. against
winch the majority of Irishmen have
always strongly protested
In fact statesmen like Mr. Asquith
nave argued with good reason that it
IS almost an administrative impossi-
blllty What Ireland needs is not the
segregation of farmers from manu-
facturers and of Catholics from Prot
estants, but the play Of these different
minds, the one on the other By which
cooperation alone true Irish citizen
ship can be developed
Sim Fen Faces Difficulties
Given a parliament in Dublin, it is
by no means certain that Sim Fein
would remain a solid party as at pres
ent. 1t is against Dublin Castle" that
Republican Ireland stands solid, but
when Dublin Castle is swept away and
constructive policy has to be elaborated
there will arise differences. Some
members will be closer to the clergy
than others. A labor group will emerge.
And amid these controversies the Ulster
party might easily exert a great and at
times a deciding influence Both in
debate and in the division lobby the
compact phalanX of northern Protes-
tants would be very formidable and
some would say very wholesome
factor
Whether Ulster comes in or stands
out, the existing powers of her present
Parliament appear to remain unalte red
Broadly, she would continue to control
her schools, her police. her local taxes
and all the innumerable matters which
are dealt with by state in the Ameri-
can union. Under the treaty Of peace
Ulster is not asked to surrender her
legislature as it stands With the
powers as limited above, the Parlia-
ment at Belfast, with it's cabinet, would
continue to function. Let me repeat
the decision to come in or to stay out
leaves the provincial autonomy of Ul-
ster unaffected.
Can't Exercise Larger Powers
But there are, of course. larger
powers OF taxation, defense and so on
which the Ulster Parliament cannot ex-
ercise. They are what in the United
States would be called Federal powers

Pact a Coup to
Ensnare II. S.
Irish Agreement, Justice AS

to Enmesh America i'm
Great Britain's Affairs
''Insult,'' Declares Lynch
James A. Flaherty, Head
of knights of Columbus,
Sees Happy End to Strife

Comment on the terms of the Irish
settlement by representative New York
ers yesterday in the main expressed un-
stinted appreciation and rejoicing. But
those who believe in an Ireland wholly
and completely separated from the Brit
ish Empire were scathingly critical.
Chief among the critics were Justice
Daniel f. Cohalan, who pictured the
terms as a diplomatic coup calculated
to ensnare the United States in British
affairs, and Diarmuid Lynch, national
secretary of the Friends of Irish Free
dom, who called the settlement "an in
suit to the Irish dead" and said that
those who hold his political opinions
will continue to fight for absolute sep
aration from England"
One of the first results of the news
from Downing Street was the filing Of
scores Of applications at the local
Knights of Columbus headquarters for
employment in the industries of Ire
land. Many of the applicants we're war
veterans. 1t was explained that there
is no way at present that the organiza-
tion can aid them.
Moral Victory, Says Flaherty
All members Of the Knights of Co.
lumbus were called upon by James A.
Flaherty, supreme knight, to pray that
the Irish peace may be q permanent
one.
"If successive British governments
honor the agreement reached by the
statesmen with Premier Lloyd George, !"
Mr.. Flaherty said, there will be a
happy end to the oppression and bitter
ness that have marred Ireland's life
for centuries. | believe Irish bravery
and craftsmanship have won a material
as we'll as moral victory which only
men who are ignorant or malicious or
both will attempt to Destroy"
BY the action of Great Britain in
granting self-government to Ireland
the former has removed the last bar
rier to "cementing the ge-old bands
of blood and language and common
ideals" between it and the United
States. DR.. Henry Noble MacCracken.
president of Vassar declared. He also
strongly urged Ulstermen Ito forgive
and forget" and to bring northern
Ireland into the Irish Free State.
"lt remains for us Protestant Amer
leans of Irish descent to urge our
brothers of the same faith and blood
to enter the Irish Free State'' he said.
"Ulster has everything to gain and
nothing to lose under the safeguards
which have been given her.

thusiastic in their praise of the settle
ment.
1t is possible that some of the Sim
Fem members of Parliament, who en-
JOY the right of sitting at Westminster
until the death of the present Parlia
ment, will attend Wednesdays session
AS soon as the new Irish Parliament
is created general election may be
held, otherwise the House of Commons
will be smaller than is prescribed by
law.
Sim Fein Delegates Depart
Michael Collins, commander of the
Irish republican army, who has become
exceedingly friendly with Lloyd George
called in Downing Street this morning
to say goodbye to the Premier. The
whole Irish delegation has now re-
turned to Dublin for the meeting of the
lMsh Cabinet, which will take up the
settlement.
Lord Middleton, Archbishop Bernard
ana Andrew Jameson, representing the
Southern Unionists, called at 10 Down
ing Street this evening to see Premier
Lloyd George and Lord Birkenhead
They are concerned not so much over
the position of the Southern Union
lists as at the prospect that their infiu-
ence may assist in inducing Ulster to
come into the Free State
There was big boom in Irish Sc
curiities on the Dublin Stock Exchange
to-day.
Sir James Craig, in the Parliament
meeting IN Belfast this afternoon,
lodged strong protest against what he
termed Lord Birkenhead's interfer erence
IN Ulster affairs in his speech at Bir-
mlngham yesterday, but refused to
show listers hand in reference to the
agreement between the British govern
ment and the Sim Fein negotiators
until he had received further informa-
tlon in visit he intends to make to
London. In a message to a Unionist
meeting IN County Down, however, the
Ulster Premier admitted that he now
saw the possibility of peace in sight if
all worked together with patience and
good will" -''e'
There is tug of war going on behind
the scenes in Belfast between the bust
ness interests and the political groups
and the chances are slightly in favor of
the business interests turning the scale
toward adherence to the irish Fec
State.

Says De Valern's Mother
Special Dispatch to The Tyseame

ROCHESTER, Dec. 1.-THE present
settlement between England and Ire
land is only preliminary step toward
the absolute independence of the Irish
republic" declared Mrs. Catherine
Wheelwright, mother of Eamon de Va
lera, in q statement made at her home
here on the Irish agreement this after
noon. II had hoped that Ireland would
be a republic before died, but per-
haps / shall not live to see that day.
"The English have tried for 750 years
to crush the Irish race said Mrs.
Wheelwright, who is seventy Eight
years old, "and they ere at last forced
to admit that Ireland must be recog-
nized. What they are granting TO
Ireland now they are not doing volun-
tarily-she has wrung every concession
from England at bitter cost and after

the world watch her"

Conference Gets Real Facts i'm
Communication From Cohalan
Document Sent Correspondents Makes the Charge
That Hughes Acts for Britain i'm Plot to

From rAe rrssuns,s Washington s~rsas.

From TIE Tri6uns's washtn0ton BWrsaw
WASHINGTON, Dec. T.--Among the
few who have discovered the truth,
about the conference is the Hon. Daniel
+. Cohalan.
Being convinced that this truth
should no longer remain hidden from
the people by the minions Of the press
either Mr.. Cohalan himself or some of
his friends or enemies sent to all the
correspondents now in Washington a
copy of speech he is alleged to have
delivered on November 20 in Brooklyn
In this speech the demon conspiracy
is unmasked, and it is shown that Mr.
Hughes, although nominally Secretary
of State of the United States, is in
truth merely the mouthpiece of the
British government. The Hughes plan,
Mr.. Cohalan has discovered, ais felt to
be a plan made in London for Ameri-
can consumption" and poor, innocent
America is being prepared like lamb
for the slaughter.
= Mr.. Cohalan ably seconds the work
of a British writer named Wells, who
has unmasked Frances plans to invade
England. Like Mr.. Wells, he warns
against the inevitable war between
America and Britain. But instead of a
conflict, having nobly come to Amer
ica's rescue, Mr.. Cohalan apparently
sees no other outcome than the re-
annexation of the American colonies by
Great Britain, unless Americans rise
up at once and tear off the camoufage
of guile and tyranny under which Brit
ain is endeavoring to dominate the
conference, with the sole purpose of
destroying the United States.
It is understood that new partner
ship is about to be formed, known as
Wells and Cohalan,. scarsmongers.
General Diaz, commander in chief of
the Italian armies, was at the Italian
Embassay to-day. The general, wear
ing his greenish-gray field uniform and
a row of medals, looked young and
energetic land full of fire. He is of
small build, with finely shaped head
a high forehead, a slim nose and a
closely cropped mustache. He met the
correspondents in the reception room
of the Embassay. They were grouped
in large circle as he came in, and he
Joined them informally with his inter
prefer. Standing with his hands along
the seams of his breeches he spoke
clearly and slowly in Italian, pausing
frequently in the middle of a sentence
to allow the interpreter by his side to
translate. He expressed his sense of
deep appreciation for all the kindness
and hospitality shown him by the
American people and wished, through
the press, to thank the United States
When he ended his remarks there was
applause, and the general then made
the round of the correspondents, shak-
ing each one by the hand.

is of hard wood. Two large bay win
dows are hidden by heavy curtains. On

agreements made here in respect to
the Far East they would lose very much
of their value, and so far as the East
ern question was concerned the work
of the conference itself might be COM
promised. To degree, then, China.
or rather, to be exact, the Chinese del
egatlon here, seems to have it in it's
power to exercise q disagreeable, if not
dangerous vote.
The effort of the Chinese delegation
itself TO minimize the Importance Of
the present disturbance within their
own ranks has not been in the small
est degree convincing. A rather gallant
effort to describe the resignation of
DR.. Tyau as resembling the famous
Bullitt eruption of the Paris confer
ence was more ingenious than convinc-
ing. This is due primarily to the fact
that the Chinese who are going home
and have already definitely resigned
are men OF too great Importance in
China to be dismissed in this fashion.
The truth would seem to be that
there is now a difference of opinion
IN the Chinese delegation over a dues-
ton of policy; that one group be-
ieved it wiser to remain, thus yield
ing to the advice and the appeal of the
Americans in the conference, with the
hope and the expectation that in the
end China will emerge from the con-
ference with a substantial vindication
of all her claims and the restoration
OF her rights, while the other group,
convinced by what already has hap
pened, that Chinas case is substantial
~ lost, advocates withdrawal at the
present time.
More Moderate View Prevails
Obviously, the more moderate view
of Koo and SEE has prevailed up to the
present moment. More than this, it
seems likely that Koo and SEE will
continue to advocate a policy of "wait
and see,' perhaps until the very end
of the conference. But it is not less
plain that for the first time there has
begun to be grave doubt as to whether
the Chinese delegation in the end will
not refuse to sign and thus bring very
serious complications.
Perhaps the most interesting circum-
stance at the moment is the apparent
anxiety of the Japanese, who are be-
ginning to inquire eagerly on all sides
as to what might be the consequence
if China should, as they now see she
may, either leave the conference soon
or refuse To sign at the end.
In any event the Chinese episode has
dominated the whole conference for
the last twenty-four hours and has
awakened interrogations which at the
present moment have found no answer.

Christmas Gard Arr9ves s After
 Ten- ear Trip

Just 10 years, one month and 1z days after it was mailed at Clark vile, Mo, a Christmas card was delivered to Mrs. T. J, Simonds, 337 North Fourth avenue. at her home here yesterday. A St. Louis post mark of January IT, 1921 was the only stamp on it to indicate where it had spent a decade.
 Just before Christmas, 1910, Missouri friend of Mrs. Simonds decided to send her a card. It was mailed at Clarkville, December 19, 1910, addressed to Mrs. Simonds at San Diego in care of her grand father, Captain C. Gruell. with whom she was spending that win ter. And that was the last heard Of the card until it reached San Diego a short time ago and was promptly forwarded to Phoenix.
 The arrival of the card is not the end of the story, however. Since 1910 Mrs. Simonds' grandmother died her grandfather remarked. the second wife died, Captsin Gruell again remarried and finally died himself. It was his widow who re- mailed the card to Phoenix after it's 10-year journey halfway across the continent.
