While the great powers are thus
moving toward peace for the world,
England and Ireland are moving to-
ward peace for the British isles. Ea-
NOM De Valera and other Irish lead
ers journeyed to London, and there
the president" and Premier Lloyd
George on Thursday held a private
preliminary conference to prepare the
way for further discussions. The good
intentions of both sides to put an end
TO the age-long discord were made evil
dent, and there was a general feeling
of hopeful optimism. 'T am sure the
atmosphere in England and Ireland is
right for peace" said Mr.. De Valera.
''The only thing that is necessary now
is for US to get down to rock bottom.
This is simply private conference with
Mr.. Lloyd George, instead Of a long
range bombardment, to see what can
be done at close quarters"
Sir James Craig premier of Ulster,
also went to London to act as spokes-
man for the northern Irish in case he
is called upon. However, he has been
bitterly opposed to any parleys be-
tween the British government and
Sim Fein. In Ulster alone the truce
agreed upon has not taken effect.
There has been lot of fighting in Bel
fast and a number of persons have
been killed since the rest Of the island
abandoned hostilities.
Only u members Of the southern
Irish parliament attended its session
Wednesday in Dublin, and the lower
house adjourned until his majesty
shall be pleased to declare his gracious
WILL" Under the home rule act the
parliament might now be dissolved
and a crown colony government set up,
but the British government will take
no such step until the result Of the
peace negotiations is seen.

ding to urge that a day be set aside
to be known as Indian Day" in honor

President and moccasins for Mrs. Har-
ding were the presents brought by
the Indians.

ment of the project to the house of
commons and of the governments ap-
proval of it was greeted with pro-
longed cheering. A few days later
there was talk in London of a separate
conference there on Pacific matters
before the Washington meeting, be-
cause the premiers of Australia and
New Zealand said it would be impos-
sible for them to go home and return
to America almost Immediately. When
this suggestion reached Washington
the administration let it be known that
efforts to divert any part of the pro-
posed conference from the American
capital would not be acceptable.
1t was said Lloyd George and Lord
Curzon, foreign minister, would come
as the representatives of Great Brit
ain, and this stirred up an amusing
row over there. The Times declared
editorially that neither of those men
is fitted ''by his position, his tempera-
1nent, and his past career to take a di-
rect part in these negotiations.
The premier retorted with an order
that representatives of the Times, the
Daily Mail and the Evening News, all
controlled by Lord Northcliffe, should
be denied access to information given
out to the press generally at the for
cign Office and by the prime minister's
secretaries at 10 Downing street. How
Lloyd George can justify such blow
at the liberty and independence Of the
press remains TO be seen. Perhaps
he will not try to do so.
1t is interesting to note that a COM
mittee of the League Of Nations met
in Luxembourg on Saturday, under
the presidency of NJ. Viviani, to con-
slider disarmament. Officials of the
league at Geneva assert the league is
not yet considering abandoning its dis
armament plans because Of the action
of the United States. 1t will be still
more interesting to see what will hap
pen if both the league and the Wash
ington conference adopt different dis
armament projects.

Backing up the statements of Sec.
retary of the Treasury Mellon, Presi-
dent Harding went before the senate
and urged that action on the soldier
bonus bill be deferred indefinitely.
The reasons given by both the Presi-
dent and the secretary were purely
financial, and both of them declared
in effect that if the bill were passed
tax reduction would be impossible and
the financial stability of the country
would be imperiled
81 know the feelings of my own
breast and that of yours and the CRATE
full people Of this republic" the Presi-
dent said. "But no thoughtful person
possessed with ,all the facts, is ready
for added compensation for the
healthy, self-rel;ant masses of our
great armies at the cost of treas
ury breakdown, which will bring its
hardships to all the citizens of the re-
public"
At the same time the President de-
clared himself NEST emphatically In IA
vor of the fullest measure of relief
to the disabled veterans of the World
war. He askei shat the bonus bill be
recommitted to the finance commit
tee, and suggested that congress con-
centrate on tax and tariff revision,
especially the former. He told the
senate that there is confessed disap-
pointment that so little progress has
been made in the readjustment and re-
ductiGn of the wartime taxes"
The Democratic senators began
fierce fight against the motion to re-
commit the bonus bill, Senator Rob-
inson of Arkansas assuming the lead
ership because Senator Underwood is
opposed to the bonus. However. it
was taken for granted that the motion
would prevail.
The Sweet bill, providing for ade-
quate relief for disabled veterans and
for the consolidation Of relief agen-
cies was favorably reported by the
subcommittee to the senate finance
committee, but its progress was halt
ed again when the senators heard Mr..
Smoot's prediction, based on official
estimates, that the probable increase
Of expenditure to carry out the pro-
visions of the measure would be close
to $500,000000 annually.

The Trinity.

The Christian teaching of the Trini-
ty is not, as H. G. Wells calls it, "a
stuffed scarecrow of divinity, a mys-
terry protected by conciliar curses"
1t is not theological hairsplitting. 1t
is the ancient Catholic charter of hu-
man freedom, the supreme witness to
democracy, the image of the ideal
commonwealth, the heavenly prototype
of society as it should be, since it re-
veals the perfect social character of
God. "In the Trinity none is afOre or
after other; none is greater or less
than another: their glory equal, their
majesty co-eternal." And this unity
is an ethical unity so that, as someone
has wisely said, the will of God is al
ways one will twice reinfOrced.-Rev.

Woman Slavery in China

Until recent years slavery, mainly
amongst girls. was firmly estab-
Hshed in China. In 1912 a law was
passed hat no girl need remain a
slave who desired her freedom.
While very man. girls dvailed them
selves of their legal freedom, many
others remained in bondage, probably
willing slaves, inasmGch as their
liberty would have left them stranded
and without any means of earning

King Alexander Of Servia is the SUBJ
ject of a lot of international gossip
these days. For weeks, since the
death of old King Peter, he has de-
layed his going 70 Belgrade to assume
the crown of Jugo-Slavia, and the ex-
plantations of this delay have not been
at all satisfactory. One day last week
it was reported in Paris, where Alex
ander is sojourning, that he had re-
nounced the throne, preferring the
pleasures of the French capital to the
perils of being a king in his own land.
Next day this story was fatty denied
by the Jugo-Slav legation in Par
is. One of the rumors afloat is that
the young monarch is enamored of
French girl who would not be acr
ceptable as queen.

One Of Americas most astute states
men and lawmakers, Philander Chase
Knox, died suddenly in his home in
Washington last Wednesday. AS at
torney general, secretary of state and
senator from Pennsylvania, and for
many years as one of the leaders of
the Republican party, Mr.. Knox won
high consideration and fame. He was
a candidate for the Republican NOM
ination for the presidency In 1908, and
In recent years was especially promi-
nent as an answering opponent of
the Versailles treaty, and the author
of the resolution declaring the state
of war with Germany and Austria at
an end. When he was attorney gen.
eral, under President Roosevelt. he di-
rected the suit that smashed the
Northern Securities railway merger
as secretary of state, in President
Taft's cabinet, he did much to extend
American business in foreign lands,
developing the principle of dollar di-
plOmacy," especially in the Far East.
Mr.. Knox often aroused the antago-
nism of others by his downright poll
cies, but his unadulterated American
ism was never questioned, and his
services to his country were numer-
GUS and important.
1t was expected in Washington that
the death of Senator Knox would re-
suit in brief delay In bringing the
peace treaties to final vote in the
senate.

The conference on unemployment
adjourned sine die on Thursday, after
approving a general program of per-
manent measures designed to cure in
voluntary idleness and restore the ma
tion's business and commerce to a
normal condition. These are in addi-
tion to the steps for immediate re-
lief of the situation already taken, in
Guiding the enlistment of commercial
and employers associations and mu-
inequalities and states in the solving
of the problem and the setting up in
Washington of centralizing agency

Ireland's peace delegates, after re-
ceiving a noisy welcome from their
fellow countrymen in London, went
into conference with Premier Lloyd
George and several other members of
the British cabinet. The sessions are
likely to continue, with brief inter-
ruptions, for many weeks, and if the
Sim Feiners have their way, the pub
lie will know little of what is going
on until the whole affair is ended Ap-
parently both sides are showing tact
and good will, and the feeling in Lon
don is becoming distinctly optimis-
tic.

If the council of the League of Ma
tions has decided on the division of
Upper SileSia between Germany and
Poland on the lines reported in dis
patches from Europe, the reactionary
elements in Germany will be given a
fine chance to regain some of their
lost power. Though the reported So
luton of the problem is a compromise,
and gives Germany a considerable
share of the manufacturing region of
Upper Silesia, including the districts
of Gleiwitz, Hindenburg and part of
Beuthen, the Germans are highly dis
pleased with the decision. The mon
archie press is bowling, for revenge,
and the radicals and conservatives unite
In denOuncing the partition as "crim-
inal act" The almost immediate re-
suit is likely to be the resignation of
the cabinet, and if Chancellor Wirth
is thus forced out, it is most probable
that Doctor Streseman will come into
power as his successor. He, as has
been said before in these columns, is
at heart a reactionary, and is bitter
against the entente allies and the
United States. Meanwhile, according
to rumors, certain Of the Silesian cit
les awarded to Poland are preparing
to fight to stay in Germany. The old
German military bodies that were dis
banded when the league troops took
charge in the district, are getting to-
gether again, and arms that were
buried instead of surrendered, are be-
ing dug up. The prospect is far froU
peaceful.

The American delegation selected
Basil Miles as its secretary, consid-
cred and approved the physical ar
rangements for the conference, and
then took up the matter of publicity
for the big meeting. The members
explained to the anxious representa-
tives Of the press that this is a ques-
ton for the conference to determine,
but that they would place no obstacle
in the way Of the fullest publicity pos
sible consistent with the expedition
of the conferences business.
Hundreds of idealists have written
to President Harding, under the i'm
preston that the conference is ex-
pected to accomplish the complete dis
armament of the world. In a reply to
one of them, the President has under
taken to dispel the illusion. In it he
says, as he has said before, that it
is erroneous even to suggest that the
conference can go so far as to at
tempt universal disarmament, and
that "if we can get reasonable limi-
ldIAOu VIC SlldIA tlIhlh LIdl SESuI lIlIuSS
have been accomplished" Continuing,
he says:
"By reasonable limitation I mean
something practicable that there is
chance to accomplish, rather than an
ideal that there would be no chance to
realize. 1t is necessary to deal with
actualities; to do the best possible.
Universal disarmament would be be-
yond hope of realization; even it's de-
sirability at this time might well be
questioned. Thousands Of years of his
tory recording the wars and contro-
versies of mankind suggest that hu-
man nature would require revolution
ary reorganization to make universal
disarmament possible. A consideration
of the present state Of the world must,
l think, enforce the conclusion that
this is not hopeful time to undertake
that kind Of revolution. To
undertake the impossible and fail
might leave our last state worse than
our first. The attitude Of the nations
warrants confidence that we will not
fail, but rather that substantial re-
suits will be accomplished, calculated
to lessen the armament burden and to
reduce the danger of armed conflict"

Klan, and then Colonel Simmons him
self took the stand. He declared the
Klan Is not anti-Catholic, anti-Jew or
anti-negro; that it was not Organized
for personal profit, and has no lawless
creed, and never has taken the law
into its own hands. In six years, he
asserted, he has received only $1,000
from the organization. He told the
committee he hoped 1t would make
the most thorough investigation of the
Klan, and promised that if one one
thousandth part of the charges against
1t were proved, he would call the grand
council together for the purpose of
disbanding the organization.
Colonel Simmons declared the at
tack on the Klan was started by
Democratic paper of New York, to in
crease its circulation, and as a polit-
ical scheme to put the proposition for
an investigation up to the Republican
congress, and that certain other met
ropOlitan papers had to fall into line
to save their circulation.

While the foreign delegates to the
arms conference are On their way to
America, our own delegation is hold
ing meetings to formulate the policy
that will be followed by the United
States. AT its first session Secretary
Of State Hughes reported that not one
of the participating powers had raised
single objection to any part of the
tentative agenda he had submitted.
Even Japan, which at first was a bit
coy, has proposed no additions or
eliminations. Mr.. Hughes also said
he had cabled to the powers, as an
addition to the agenda, the PROPOSE
tion that the conference consider
the question of electrical cOmmunica-
ton in the Pacific; which, of course,
means that the controversy with
Japan over the Yap cable and radio
will come up, unless it is settled in
the meantime.
