Itipn OF the submarine so that there is no question as
to the attitude of both of these governments.
The imposition of the proposed restrictions,
however, brings up a number Of other subjects, all
bearing closely upon the activities of the sub1na-
'rine. For instance, it is asked what will be the
regulations governing the action of merchant YES
selsif submarines are not allowed to attack them
without proper visit and search. Are the merchant
vessels to go armed for their own defense and use
their arms for that purpose; or when challenged
by submarine, are they to rely for their security en-
tlrely upon the international restrictions provided?
LII ordinary sea warfare it has been considered
proper to disguise a war vessel so as to give it the
appearance of a merchant ship. If the proposed
regulations are agreed upon, shall this practice still
be permitted or must the war vessel abandon this
method of disguise? These are simply two Of a
great number OF questions which arise in this con-
%nection, and which are full of complications.
AS the situation is surveyed, it must be appar-
ent to everyone that all that is possible under any
international agreement which recognizes war and
permits its continuance is some mitigation Of it's
seventies. There is nc. such thing as making war
humane. 1t is a business OF killing and destroying,
and it cannot be prosecuted with any other end in
view. In the carrying out Of it's activities, not only
arc armed men bound to be destroyed, but death
and destruction are bound to come to civilians in
great numbers. Agreement may effect much in the
way of ameliorating h%ardships which would other
wise be suffered by noncombatants, but full securi-
ty cannot under any circumstances be insured to
people of any class solo1g as war continues.
This is not to say that a conference called in
the interest of peace and humanity which does not
accomplish the abolition Of war is a failure. On
the contrary. the present conference in reaching de-
cislons limiting arnamcnt and restricting certain
,war]ike activities is a conspicuous success, but the
fact must be borne i'll mind that such success is only
partial. and if the road to progress upon which. tho
world has started is to be followed, this conference
must be followed by others of like character called
and conducted, under no matter what auspices, SO
that the work now done may be enlarged and ex-
banded until in the not distant future, warfare OF
all kinds shall be utterly and thoroughly ~outlawed.

BY HERSELF.

1t seems to be a forcgone conclusion that within
a short time Ireland will be operating under the
arrangement recently reached at the London con-
ference. The period during which Ireland has been
governed from London has been marked by much
disturbance and not a little fatal violence. 1t is
true that there have been long periods of quiet, but
acute situations have arisen when the entire>coun-
try was in a state OF turmoil. From 1916 on this
condition has been practically continuous.
The character of the debates in the Dali Fire
ann suggests the probability that when the new
system is inauguratcd, the government which is cs
tablishd in Dublin will not find itself reposing OF,
any bed OF roses. There is apparently as great bit
terness between the factions, within the Sim Fem as
there has ever been between any factions inhahiting
|%opposite sides Of the channel. Accusations of bad
faith have been made against the coi,ferees who
signed the London compact. Those of the Irish
%populace who have petitioned for the ratification of
the treaty are subjected to derision and abuse. There
is forecast as a certainty the continuation of agita-
ton by the irreconcialiables after the new govern
ment has been established, with the promise of spir-
tied resistance to such agitation by the less extreme
faction.
The prospect seems to be, therefore, that, for
some time, at least, the revolutionary movement will
be continued, with its immediate object of attack
the dominion government in Dublin rather than the
imperial government in London. From the stand
point of the English this will doubtless be salts
factory. If there must be disorder in Ireland the
people on the neighboring island will consider them
selves we'll out of it.

BRITISH ELECTION POSSIBILITIES.

1t has been reported that the holding of general
elections in Great Britain in February is possible,
and in fact quite probable, The subject brings up
some interesting speculations.
1t is confidently expected that the Irish settle
1nent plan will be accepted in Ireland, and that steps
will be taken Immediately to carry it into effect. If
TINS IS done, one OF the great issues upon which the
Lloyd George administration might have gone to
the country in confidence will have been removed.
With the Irish treaty rejected and relations will,
Ireland still open and unsettled, with the admins.
tratlon definitely committed to the plan which has
been proposed, and with the responsibility for re-
lection placed squarely upon Ireland, Lloyd George
could have appealed to the country with every Ger
talnty that his administration would be sustained
and that he would be returned to power by an
enormous majority. The Irish question would have
been the predominant issue and there is no question
as to where the British public has stood on that
subject. 1t has been emphaticafly for the settle
nent OF the dispute by whatever means honorable
to the nation might be within reach, and this or
any other plan approximating it would have been
accepted gladly as a means Of removing this issue
from the unsettled problems OF the nation.
With the treaty accepted, a different situation
arises. The administration which goes to the people
tor a vote of confidence in what it is actually doing
and proposes to finish stands a much better chance
than one which appeals for. a vote of approval on
the basis OF something already accomplished. With
future policies underlined and the attitude of the
administration toward them not clearly understood.
49, SAAoAA PboDoIiS tbdL IL Lax xIJSu IIG6ly
is accepted, there will arise in England. questions
OF local and national import upon which, decisions
will be asked and concerning which there has been
no capitalization of opinion. Questions of finance,
of customs duty, Of relations toward labor, and a
multitude of other things will clamor for attention
az soon as the Irish question is out Of the way, and
It may be expected that many Of the British people
VIII be in doubt as to whether or not to support
Lloyd George and entrust him with carrying out
.ot future policies who have ratified his acts in rela-
.tlon to the Irish question and indicated their desire
The situation therefore brings 10 the cur;ous
feature that the statesman who has accomplished
the apparently impossible in a manner satisfactory
70 the nation stands a smaller chance Of retaining
his position at the head of the government than If
that question had remained unsettled. This view
may prove to be entirely unfoundcd, but the com
ditions surrounding the formulation and expression
bounds Of possibility that the success Of LLOYD
George in reaching a settlement of the Irish problem
may prove his tndoing at the polls.

Alfalfa and corn mixed make good

Although alfalfa is not an ideal ST.

facts in mind, says the Department Of
