Lord Curzon, the Secretary for For
eign Affairs, in addressing The Lords,
contended that the agreement brought
peace with honor 1t involved, he said,
three essential iples-the suprem-
acy of Che crown, the security of the
United Kingdom and the integrity of
the empire. He expected to witness a
vindication of the agreement not only
by its contents but by it's consequences
"a peaceful and contented Ireland.
When Lord Curzon said that the final
court of appeal for Ireland would still
be the Privy Council to which an ap-
peal could be made in any religious or
educational grievance, Lord Carson
(formerly Sir Edward Carson), inter-
jected: ".Where is that provided Yor 2"
Lord Curzon replied that it possibly
was not mentioned in the PROVISIONS
but it was inherent in the proposed
status.
Outrage" Says LORD Carson
Lord Curzon then rose to oppose the
agreement. He described. the debate
as "the splendid obsequies of the mis-
guided Unionist party and funeral ora.
tion to cover up defeat, and the humil-
iation suffered in Ireland" He added:
Lord Curzon has gone the whole hog"
That was always the case with a man
with a newly-found faith.
The former Unionst leader de-
clared that there had never been a
greater outrage attempted on consti-
tutional liberty than was now being
attempted by the coalition government.
If Gladstone or Asquith had attempted
such thing what would Curzon have
said about them?
The governments stage management
had been perfect, continued Lord Cur
zon, but they would not dare TO ask the
country what it thought of the So
called settlement terms, which were ac-
cepted by the government with a re-
volver presented at their heads and
because the Sim Fein with its army
had beaten them. 1t was said that the
reason the government was unable to
suppress crime in Ireland was because
they had neither the money nor the
men. That was an awful admission to
make, he said.
From beginning to end there was
nothing in the agreement except that

guns of assassins, said she was willing
to scuttle Ireland" OF ali memories
in his experience the most loathsome
was that Of those willing to sell their
friends for the purpose of conciliating
their enemies. The government had
betrayed Ulster
Lord Duckmaster hoped that the
agreement would be ratified because
he did not desire the government to
appeal to the country, for, if so, they

It was almost impossible to believe
that these people had defed all the

were now gathered to consider treaty

and Collins went on,

dent that the honor of ireland is not

Bioodless Victory for President
Griffith interposcd to say that it
was perfectly understood that the dele
gates never had the right to conclude
. treaty except as subject TO ratifica-
tion. With these admissions De Valera
had scored his frst point In the fight.
It was a rather bloodless victory, how
ever, and perhaps costly Go the victor,
who thereby alienated some OF his col
leagues. 1t certainly was plainly evil
dent that De Valera. and Collins were
poles apart in their views of the Irish
problem.
The debate then centered about the
question of secret session, and the
opposition, which had been led by Col
Inns. was defeated at that stage be-
cause of the unanimous agreement that
the all-impcrtant discussion of ratifi-
cation would be in public. Counter
arguments in favor Of secret sessions
prevailed at the second session tonight.
De Valera quickly asserted his lead

Toxic Recommendations

on my mind, declare that I never saw
the House Of Commons In such state
of universal iublfation az when 1t met
at noon to-day to seal pact OF peace
with the Irish Free State.
More than an hour before the Speak
er took tho chair the lobby was
thronged by "a crowd Of members of all
longer Home Rulers and Unionisss.
The members, each and all, were ex-
hilarnted by gratitude that sore that
had been bleeding for roo years had
been healed-fh England and Ireland
truly we're sister nations and British
and Irishmen brothers.
This satisfaction was crowned by the
knowledge that Australia and the
other British colonies, as we'll as the
United States and the Continent of
Europe, were applauding the apparent
miracle. A. notable feature Of the
gathering was the thorouGhness with
copied the new state Of things. For
some it is embarrassing.
Mr. Balfour had adroitly avoided a
place in the conference with the Irish
delegates to which his position in the
Ministry entitled him. Lord Curzon
also stood aloof But Austen Cham
berlain, son of the statesman chiefly
responsible for the destruction thirty
five years ago Of GIadstonc's first Home
Rule bill, sat through the conference
and took the first opportunity Of en-
thusastically extolllng tho work it ac-
complished.
Praised BY OpponcntA
The Lord Chancellor, who not many
years ago acted as galloper to Carson
when he reviewed the Ulster volun-
tecrs, pledged to resist by force any
attempt to endow Ireland with home
rule, was member Of tho conference
and, equally with Chamberlain, was
loud In praise Of it's work.
Other lifelong opponents Of Home
Rule Of less prominence shouted with
delight this afternoon at the new birth
of Ireland
Naturally, the Prime Minister is the
hero of the day. On all sides it Is
recognized, as the King telegraphed on
hearing the "splendid news" az the
successful termination Of difficult and
protracted negotiations educ to the pa
tent, conciliatory spirit" that Lloyd
George has shown throughout. He ID
not the man likely to miss the rare
opportunity Incidentally provided. Mr..
Balfour, contrary to the advice pressed
upon him by Joseph Chamberlain, neg
lected the challenge of q general cleo
tion imm mediately on the termination
Of the Boer War. Parliament will cer-
tainly dissolve in February, and Lloyd
George will be reinstated in power. by
majority that will place him at the
head Of affairs FOR the full term Of the
new parliament.

TRICK TO PLEASE CHILDREN
How Paper Butterflies May Be Made

Here is charming little experiment
that can be carried out by means OF
Seidlitz powder, one of the last
things in the world, says Science and
Invention. from which one would eX-
pect any amusement Secure an empty
Jam jar and get good-sized cork to
act as stopper to this. In the center
of the cork bore hole, through which
opening funnel is pushed. The way
in which this is done can be seen from
the sketch. Next, from brightly col
ored tissue paper cut the shapes OF
three or four butterflies. In the middle
of each of these, just between the
wings, fasten with glue thin strip
of cork. This serves to act as body
for the paper insect and also helps in
the balance of the butterflies when
they are in the air
Fill the jar about half full with
water. Then into it tip the contents OF
the packets forming the Seidlitz pow
der. Quickly replace the cork in the
jar and put the paper butterflies into
the funnel. Soon the gas generated by
the effervescence rises and this causes
the butterflies to fly up and down In
a most lifelike manner. The effect
continues for quite good while, see

Timing Bananas.

1t is generally known that bananas
are shipped while yet green and un-
ripe, but few persons are aware of
the careful and elaborate time calcu-
lations required in setting out the
plants and cutting off the fruit in
order to insure the arrival of the
bananas in proper condition at their
destination.
When a plantation is begun, the
young plants are set out at certain
periods. SO that they will produce at
regular prefixed times during the
year. A certain number of days be-
fore the arrival of steamer the green
fruit is cut, and close calculation of
the time that win be consumed in the
voyage must always be made, else the
bananas will be spoiled. Fruit steam
ers carry steam-heating apparatus to
insure uniform temperature through
out the voyage. The ripening is cal
culated to occur only after the fruit
has reached the retail dealer.
