IN IRELAND

ASTHE war between the Irish Free State
n Government and the guerrilla forces OF
the Republicans narrows down Il seems to
gain In intensity. The mood of tolerance
which formerly made The way of war prison.
ers easy appears to have passed in Dublin.
Four civilians accused Of being active on.
ponents OF the Government were executed
last week, They were the first lrishmen to
be subjected TO th" death penalty by other
Irishmen acting in the name of free ireland
since the departure Of the English troops.
At the present moment the trial OF
Erskine Chtlders, right hand man OF De
Valera. is drawing in secret to what may be
a most sensational end. Childers Is one OF
the high idols Of the Sim Fein. He was
recently captured In n raid on Republican
stronghold. lie Is one of the dynamic In.
tellects OF the insurgent movement, a man
of high intelligence and unQuestioned dcvo.
ton to the older ideal Of Irish nationalism.
lie has fought openly against the Free State.
And II he is executed another moving and
unforgettabc legend will he added to those
that serve to keep the minds OF Irish in
surgcnts afame with emotion and the will to
fight desperate and losing cause to the
bitter end.

from Constantinople.
Constantine I'alasologus,~ v last Of the
Byzantine Caesars, fell. fighting, sword in
hand, upon the ramparts Of the imperial
city. In Justice to the shadowy Sultan and
denoted Caliph It may be said that, even
had he been tempted to indulge In fine ges.
lures, they would have lacked meaning. An
epic death I'm the high Roman fashion,"
or even In the gallant Ottoman style Of the
fifteenth century, would have lacked what
the play. makers call motivation.
The situation on the Bosporus is much too
confused to give significance to romantic
attitudes. Mohammed VI In the oct OF
posing on the walls Of the metropolis, called
By courtesy his capital, would probably have
been arrested by Kemalist agents. Flight
to Malta under British protection was
tamely chosen, and the inglorious spectacle
Is provided Of the former spiritual head Of
Islam a refugee In the land Of the Giaours.
Precisely what Is the condition Of the
remnants of Osmanll authority in Con.
stantlnorle may not be easily pictured. The

suggests that events In the capital are re.
spending subnissively to fats from Angcra.

the Official family Of the old Turkish regime

Congress Intcrprcts by Its Course the
Significance Of the Election

CONGRESS rcasscmblcs today. about a
" fortnight after the election. II It is

Every one outside Of Congress knows that
the election meant something. 1t was nm

noring of evident facts. There were grave
issues clamoring for attention. But Con.

1t ought 20 be clear 70 the Republican
leaders thnt their party is on trial: that
the time has gone by when it can be sure
of congressional majority and that the
country has no hesitation in using the Demo-
cratic Party as a fail to chast!se it for its
misdocds. II 1t chooses It can begin at
once to organize itself in Congress for con.
s,ructive action under definite and authori-
tatvc leadership.
When both Congress and the President
are OF the same party there should be an
agreement on the legislative program be-
tween the authorities Mt the two ends Of
PENNSYLVANIA avenue. The cha!rmen Of the
committees should be men in sympathy with
that program, whether they have served q
long or q short time. Under such an ar.
rangcment the will of the country indicated
by its mandate to tho Republican Party will
no carried out. Under the present system,
which puts Congressman at the head Of com.
mlttees merely because they have succeeded
in getting elected and in surviving a long
time able men are kept in the background
and men suffering from sen!le decay are in
positions from which their sense Of re.
sponsibility should have led them long ago
to withdraw.
The time may not be ripe for such a
movement as that Of the italian Fascist,
which is apparently revolt of the younger
generation against the domination OF the
dodoes and mummies and stuffed shirts OF
the older generation. But the election Is a
condemnation OF the political dodoes in
Washington. II they can find anywhere
spcctacles powerful enough to enable their
falling sight to read the signs Of the times
and adjust themselves to what they see, the
history Of the next few years IL likely to be
full of cheer to the believers In democracy.

are hoping that the men who were rcbuked
