FOREIGN AFFAIRS

During the first six months of the
year the guerrilla warfare between the
British forces in Ireland and the Irish
republicans" continued unabated.
Murders by the Sim Feiners and re-
prlsals by the British were of almost
daily occurrence. The Irish were espe-
cially exasperated by the execution of
number of prisoners convicted of

The appointment of Lord Talbot, lead
Ing British Roman Catholic, as lord
lieutenant of ireland, failed Of its ef-
feet. On May 20 the Sim Feiners
burned the Dublin custom house, and
on June 80 they reelected Eamonn de
Valera president of the Irish repub-
lic." Meanwhile the new government of
northern Ireland was organized, with
Sir James Craig as premier, and on
June % King George went across to
open the Ulster parliament. De Valera
on July 8 accepted the invitation of
Premier Lloyd George to conference
in London, and truce was announced.
Then began the series Of negotiations
that lasted through the remainder Of
the year. Offers and counter-offers
were made. and finally Britain prof

DOMESTIC AFFAIRS

During the early part of the year
the country was preparing for the
change of administration on March 4.
President-elect Harding resigned as
senator from Ohio on January 8, and
the next day he asked that prepara-
tions for an elaborate Inauguration be
Cancelled, feeling that 1t would be in
consistent with the urgent need for
economy. On February 10 Mr.. Har-
ding announced the appointment of
Charles r. Hughes as his secretary of
state-a choice that met with general
approval-and on succeeding days he
completed his cabinet with these
names: Secretary of the treasury, An
drew w. Mellon; secretary of war,
John w. Weeks; attorney general,
Harry NJ. Daugherty; postmaster gen
eral, VIII FL. Hays; secretary of the
navy, Edwin Denby; secretary of the
interior, Albert B. Fall; secretary of
agriculture, Henry G. Wallace; secre-
secretary of labor, James ]. Davis. Mr..
Harding was inaugurated on March 4
with simple, dignified ceremony, and
President Wilson, despite his contin-
ued illness, was able to be present.
The senate, In extra session, confirmed
the cabinet and number Of other ap-
pointments, and adjourned on March
10.

Back to Normalcy was the slogan
of 1921, not only in America but In
all the civilized nations of the world.
But minor wars, internal economic dis
turbances, chaotic financial conditions
In Europe, widespread unemployment,
famine In Russia and other hindrances
made progress in the right direction
slow, excepting, perhaps, in the United
States.
When the year opened the peoples
were groaning under the burden of
taxation and depression resulting from
the World war. As 1t drew to close
they were still groanlng but had hope
fully turned their eyes toward Wash
ington, where the representatives of
great powers were negotiating inter
national agreements that would elm
inate some of the causes of war, es-
pecially in the Far East, and limit
the means of making war. In the
success of this conference and of 9TH
ers that might grow out Of 1t lay for
the time being the hope Of humanity.
Efforts to enforce the terms of the
treaty of Versailles resulted in con-
diets among some of the new nations
created by that pact, and several of
the older nations were involved in
warfare. Germany, working fast to
recover her old position in the world
OF commerce, was hampered by the
disastrous decline in the value of the
mark, and her leaders protested con-
tInually that she could not possibly
pay the war indemnity. Peace negOti-
ations between the British government
and Sim Fein were brought to a sue
cessful conclusion by which the Irish
Free State was constituted.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

The League of Nations, though
functioning without the cooperation
of the United States, accomplished
much during the year, chiefly through
Its council, which met in Paris on
February 81 and Immediately referred
proposed amendments to the covenant
to committee. President Wilson,
who during January had withdrawn
the American representatives from the
council of ambassadors and the repa-
rations commission, on February %
sent to the league council a strong
protest against the inclusion of the
Island of Yap in territories subjected
to the mandate of Japan, and also
formally demanded for America
voice In the disposal of the former
German colonies. The council In re-
ply said 1t was not concerned with
the ALLEGATION of zap to Japan and
invited the United States to take part
in discussions concerning the Turkish
and African mandates. A month after
the Republican administration took
office Secretary of State Hughes reit-
Grated Mr.. Wilson's stand concerning
Yap and mandates in general, and
later France and Italy indorsed Amer
ica's position in the controversy over
the Island. though Japan formally re-
fused to give up her mandate. There
after that dispute was the subject of
long drawn-out negotiations between
the United States and Japan which
led to a treaty by which the United
States was assured equal rights in
Yap and other islands inundated to
Japan.
The council of ambassadors in Janu-
ary gave Germany more time to dis
arm, appointed commission TO pass
on Austria's economic status, decided
that Latvia and Esthonia should be
recognized as sovereign states, and
then fixed the German reparations at
10000. 100000 gold marks, payable in
annual installments, and - per cent
tax on exports during the period of
payment. This reparations decision
created CONSERVATION in Germany and
Berlin at once began efforts to per-
suade the United States to intervene
In her behalf. The Wilson administra-
fion made no response, but on April
Secretary Hughes informed Ger
many the United States would not
countenance her escaping full respon-
-sibiilty for the war or getting out of
paying to the limit of her ability. A
few days earlier, Berlin having failed
10 make the first payments, French
troops occupied Dusseldorf, Duis-
burg and Ruhrort. The British OBJ
iected strongly TO this Independent
action and France withdrew. 1t would
be tedious to detail the negotiations
over the reparations bill. Suffice 1t to
say that Germany, with Doctor Wirth
as chancellor. was compelled to ac-
cept the figures of 35,0O0,OOO, 900 gold
marks finally decided on by the su-
preme council, made the payments due

was increasing talk of arranging a

.LK0 EDITOR HAS
GOOD FISH STORY

Editor Steninger of the Elko Free
Press recently started in to tell
series of fish stories dug up
from the recesses of his brain
where they were said to be cached
when Mr.. Steniger was a boy. That
was quite awhile ago, SO the stories
form q distinct testimonial to his
powers Of memory as well as evil
dencing the fact that when news
gets scarce even country editors
must abandon facts for fiction.
The latest story concerns this
community and Is recited by the
Free Press editor in the follow
ing manner:
"Down in the Humboldt valley
below Winnemucca warm springs
keep the sloughs open during the
winter months and here the NAL
lards gather by the hundreds watt
ing for the spring thaw. They are
wise old birds and it is almost i'm
possible for hunters to get within
gunshot range. But it remained
for a youthful sportsman to out
smart them. He sprinkled corn at
one Of the favorite duck resorts
until the birds learned to feed
without suspicion. Then he took
heavy fishline and attaching a
half dozen hooks few feet apart
and batting each hook with a kerr
nal of corn. The next morning
all he had to do was to walk
down to the slough where he had
anchored his line and haul in his
catch, always getting q bird on
each hook"
