WHAT is THE MATTER WITH
WATSON?


The eccentric Senator from Georgia
appears to be growing worse. Until
few days ago he was looked upon
merely as exceptional, different from
the average, a little more brilliant
and trifie more erratic.
But his conduct in presenting his
charges against officers of the Ameri-
can army in France suggests a deeper
significance. Is the man unbalanced?
may we'll be asked.
The Senator from Georgia overlooks
the courtesies and the convention
alities of that body and addresses fell
low-members by their names. He re-
fuses to appear before a committee
with evidence. He will submit it
to the Senate in open session, but he
does nothing of the kind. He offers
photographs Of gallows, but no proof
that they were gallows in France or
that they were used to execute un-
tried and unconvinced soldiers. He
produces letters and kilograms; from
whom? He gives no names but the
unknown writer's tell mysterious
stories that came to them from other
sources. They did not see what they
relate.
One message contains the informa-
ton that its author was told by sol
der, name not given, that twenty-one
or twenty-five had been executed on
gallows which he saw standing at an
American post
When Gen. Pershing replies that the
Senator's accusations are outrageously
false, Senator Watson flies into rage
and fiays the American commander,
accusing him of using the ugly word
and of injecting himself into a stu
alton where he has no place If the
commander of the American army is
not competent witness in this mat
ter, then who is? Certainly not the
Senator from Georgia.
1t is queer that three years after
the close of the war, during which in
terval there have been many investi-
cations of its conduct by the Ameri-
can government, we should just be
getting this startling and unbelievable
statement that many American sold
iers were executed in France without
formality even of court-martial.-

"Reville has achieved an artistic
triumph in his handling of the ia
nous English point lace which was
worn by Queens Mary and Victoria,
and also by the latter's mother. the
Duchess of Kent, at their weddings.
The lace will be worn over special

elbow length sleeves will also fall
from beneath the arms in deep cas-

MAIN PROVISIONS OF THE TREA-
TY BETWEEN IRELAND AND
BRITAIN

Creation of the Irish Free State is
provided for in the treaty signed last
month in London, ratified on Dec. 16
by the British Parliament and now
finally by the Dali Eireann. Its pro-
visions in substance are:
Ireland shall have the same con-
stitutionaI status in the British EN-
Bire as the Dominion of Canada, the
Commonwealth of Australia, the Do
minion of New Zealand and the Union
of South Africa.
ireland shall be known officially as
the Irish Free State, with a Parlia-
ment having powers for the govern
ment of the country and an Execu-
tive responsible to that Parliament
The oath to be taken by the Irish
Parliament involves allegiance to the
Constitution of the Free State. It's
members must swear to be faithful
to H. NJ George, his heirs and sue
cessors by law, in virtue of the COM
mon citizenship of Ireland with Great
Britain"
A Provisional Government is to be
set up, to function until an Irish Par
1iament and a Government of the
Irish Free State shall be constituted,
but not longer than twelve months at
the outside.
A representative of the Crown shall
be appointed for Ireland in the same
manner as the Governor General of
Canada
Ireland is given control over all
government affairs and is entitled to
an army, which shall not be larger
in proportion to Irelands population.
than the British Army is to the popu-
lation of Great Britain
Ulster is included within the scope
OF the treaty, but provision is made
for her to declare out within one
month after an act of the British Par
lament ratifying the treaty, and to
continue under the present regime as
provided in the Government of Ire
land Act in 1920. In that case, how
ever, a Boundary Commission is to be
named to determine the boundary be-
tween Northern Ireland and the rest
Of Ireland.
The Irish Free State will assume
what may be decided by agreement
or arbitration as fair and equitable
proportion of the public debt of the
United Kingdom, and is to afford har-
Dor facilities to British naval forces
under terms to be fixed by a conven-
ton between the two Governments.
Safeguards are provided for free
dom of religion and education within
both the Irish Free State and Northern
Ireland.
Formal ratification of the pact on
the part of Ireland, it is provided by
the treaty, shall be at meeting, sum-
moned for the purpose, of the mem
bers elected under the Government of
Ireland Act to sit in the House of
Commons of Southern Ireland. These
members, with few exceptions, are
the same as those of the Dali Eireann.

the fairy did more, for while they

asked his help.

home up in Northland. She asked
him to come hat very night and paint

PATTY

MARSHALL

THE charming name of Patty Is moi
a diminutive Of Patricia as Is
popularity supposed, but comes, curl
ously enough, from Martha. For that
reason 1t means becoming bitter des-
pite the fact that 1t has always been
bestowed on the sweetest herolnes of
classic fiction.
Patty has a certain sacred slgnif-
canoe since 1t Is derived from the
Martha who was one of the sisters
of Bethany. 1t was she who Is said
to have destroyed by the sheer power
Of her faith a flr~e-breathing dragon
which attacked her family while they
were on n pilgrimage. Although she
is popularity supposed to have been
the sister of Mary Magdalen, there
is some doubt among historians on
this score.
But howeN0 it may be, Martha was
the forerunner of Patty and gives to
the latter name, not only a religious
flavor, but n good old-fashioned name,
which has become almost Synonymous
with domesticlty. A curious fact in
her evolution Is that she was derived
through Russia where Martha became

I'VE did not get any beautiful pic

the other things"
Mary thought for n moment and
then her eyes fell upon the wonderful
paintings Jack Frost had made In the
night. Look" she said, pointing to
the windows, there Is a beautiful
castle and away up in the tower
expect there lives a beautiful prin-
cess.
"See all the mountains around the
castle and the flowers like daisies
growing out at the top. Below is a
little lake and a swan sailing about,
and beyond Is the forest, and through
1t will come the prince who is to res
cue the princess from the tower"
johnny opened his eyes wide at first
when Mary began the story, but before
she had come to the prince part John
ny saw. too, what she did, and again
the little Fairy Make-believe came
through the keyhole of the door and
crept close beside them.
And so some day when you cannot

Jack Frost has been at work and see
If you cannot find wonderful things just
as did Mary and Johnny.

Pope Didn't Always Take New Nam,

Pope Didn't Always Take New Name.
1t Is well known that the pope after
his election assume a new name. But
1t Is not equally of general knowledge
that such was not always the custom,
although historians do not agree as to
the time when this change of names
was introduced.
Able Fleury, in his Ecclesiastical
History, says that Sergius the Fifth
was the first to change his name,
while the historian Onuphre says that
the first instance occurred In 956,
when Cardinal Vitourien assumed the
name of John the Twelfth, because he
thought that his original name had d.
pagan ring. This motive evidently ap-
pealed TO all his successors, for since
the election of Pope Benedict the
Ninth, in 1893, only one pope, Adrian
the Sixth, elected in 1922, retained his
former name.
