Irish Against Irish.

The news from Ireland, without
being Of itself particularly alarming.
illustrates the new political condi-
tions there. Irreconcilables of the
Republican Army entered Limerick
on Sunday and Communicated the
principal hotels. Evidently 1t was
their intention to seize the police bar
racks, but the provisional Govern
ment troops beat them to this goal
and kept order i'll the streets with
armed motor cars.
1t is no longer the Irish against
the English in Ireland, but the Irish
against the Irish. The men who are
trying to prolong De vALERA's dream
are not fighting Dublin Castle now.
They are fighting the forces of
GRIFFITH and COLLINS, the heads re-
spectively Of the Dali Eireann and
the Irish Free State. They are in re-
volt against Government which has
been approved by majority Of the
Sim Fein Parliament.
Nobody expected that absolute
peace would come to Ireland '.nme-
diately upon the signing of the
treaty. There will be fiareups, no
doubt, for long time. But 1t is
likely that the general elections,
should they indorse the Free State,
will put an end to all real danger.
When the young republicans realize
that southern Ireland wants the
peace and the independence which
comes with the Free State they pro3-
ably will yield to the majority.

MISS PossART, PIANIST, PLAYS
Her Program Presents Interesting
Music.

Miss Cornelia Rider Possart. pianist
gave recital in Aeolian Hall yesterday
afternoon. Miss Possart is no stranger
to local music lovers. She has beer
known for several seasons a a player
of sincere intentions and considerable
skill. Her program was doubtless the
most interesting element in her enter
tainment, which is. cornnendatio not
to be lightly esteemed, for many pianists
of important technic and interpretative
ability dwell in the realms Of conserva;
tism to such an extent that they end by
all playing the same things.
Miss Possart offered her audience
Mendelssohn's prelude and fugue, opus
IS, No. i, Haydn's major sonata, Schu-
mann's G minor sonata, and some
shorter numbers by Beethoven, Scar
latti and Chopin. Her playing was
characterized as heretofore by a plain
directness of style and by great force
of finger. There was little variety OF
color and for tenderness Of utterance
Miss Possart disclosed scant sympathy

BY W. J. HENDERSON.

The Trio Classique, which gave 1t!
first concert not long ago, gave It's sec
ond last evening In Aeolian Hail. Th'
members OF this new organization art
Miss Celia Schiller. piano; Maurice
kaufman, violin, and John Mundy
cellist. The program consisted OF Voik'
mar Andreaes trio in r flat, opus IA
Beethoven's in ID major, opus 20. NO.
and Frank Bridges Fantasy" in {
minor Andreac's music Is not very
familiar here, although the kneise
Quartet introduced him TO the public
about twenty-five years ago.
He Is Swiss. born In Bern in 1879
and has been prolific composer He
has also been active as a conductor aIla
one OF his achievements in that capacity
was directing the first performance In
Italy of Bach's est. Matthew Passion
in 1911. Doubtless that was one OF the
most valuable contributions to the art
OF music, since his compositions have
not made their way with great vigor.
The quartet heard last evening owed
the principal theme Of It's first move
ment. heard again in the finale, to no
less a n,elodist than Schubert, his gen.
eral rhythmic and structural style to
Brahms and his harmonic scheme TO
Cesar Franck. An eclectic who chooses
with taste and discretion is not TO be
despised, but he Is likely TO find that
the material chosen Is more clear and
beautiful at the original springs than
In the broad channels which he so
laboriously digs for 1t.
This was the result In the case OF
Mr.. And reae's quartet. It is well made,
except in some parts where the COM
poser's ingenuity failed and the ancient
device of writing in unison for the
strings while the piano made arabesoues
was employed. The piano part was in
general too prominent. and this was not
wholly the fault OF the pianist The
string players were not always happy
either in quality OF tone or intonation,
but all three musicians gave sincere and
commendable effort to the Swiss trio as
well as TO the other numbers on the
program.

The Man at the Top.

The news headline Yankee Owners
Agree to Babe RurH's Terms" Is
not only a sign OF spring. 1t was
as inevitable as spring itself. The
batting behemoth, like every other
man at the very topmost top OF his
business, gets what he wants because
he Is wanted.
The best lawyer in the United
States can exact whatever fee he
sees fit TO charge. The best surgeon
commands his own price; fortu-
nately for the poo:. ethics has estab.
lished sliding scale in medical fees.
The greatest preacher gets a big
salary IL he cares to speak to a rich
congregation. The topmost men in
science, invention and Journalism
dictate their own terms.
A man wants Man o. War and
pays s250,000 for him. An Ameri.
can millionaire wants the greatest
picture painted by GAINsBoRouGH and
pays s65o,0Go FOR 81. zane Ruru
is the heaviest hitter in baseball
and he draws TO the game thousands
OF persons who would not otherwise
attend. More than that--and this
explains part Of the reason why
RUTH is at the top OF his business
he is always trying to hit his hardest,
always doing his best TO win.
That is why RuTH's salary is s75..
600 year. He could ask more II

can League grounds was greater.

Photography 100 Years Old.
First Permanent Results Obtained
in 1922 by q Frenchman.
From MONTREAL Gazette.

From Montreal Gazette.
A hundred years ago-in 1s22--the
first permanent photographs were Sc
cured on compound OF sensitive btu
men OF Judea by a F'renchrnan named
Niepce. As early as 1902 a process by
which records could be made by the
action OF light was discovered by a
certain Tom wedgwood. but no method
OF fixing the print was then known, and
It was not unit Niepce came along Wit,
his process that this was made possi-
bic. In 1929 Niepco entered into part
rership with Dsguerre. another French
man, whose name is remembered IN
dsguerreotypes, the earliest Photographic
records that remain at the present day
a monument was erected In France
near Chalo-s. upon which an Inscription
names the year OF 1922 as that IN which
Niepce discovered Photography"

suits it has accomplished are worthy
of the study Of all large munich
palities.
In its third annual report, which
has just been issued, the Crime Com
mission reports that in 1919, the yeal
in which II began its labors, there
were $50 murders in Chicago 6,10s
burg,aries and 2,312 robberies. IL
1921, the year covered by the las'
report, there were 100 murders, 4,774
burglaries and 2,55S robberies. How
much Of this reduction in crime il
due to the work OF the commission
there is no means Of ascertaining
That a large proportion of the i'm
provement may be credited 70 1t Is
confidently asserted. When the com
mission began its work, It says. the
Chicago police force was admittedly
inefficient. In 1921 the force gave q
better account Of itself than It had
in many years. This also is the
commissions statement.
But in Chicago, as elsewhere, DO
lice efficiency is Of little avail in sup
pressing crime il criminal prosecu-
tion procedure and criminal punish
ment are weakened by political infiu
ence, the toleration of straw bonds
men, weakness Of the jury system
paroles, freedom on probation and
pardons opening the doors of prisons
for the exit OF convicted criminals
On these evils the commissions last
report lays responsibility for many
Of the crimes which now are perpe'
trated in Chicago. 1t supports this
assertion with convincing statistics.
The commission keeps an accurate
record of every crime reported, OF
every arrest made, Of every step in
court procedure and of the final re-
suit of every criminal case. These
statistics tell a story OF commend
able work well done, and this story
more than justifles Chicago's public
spirited citizens in the support they
are giving to this branch of volun-
teer public service.

Poor Fiiunne.

Many of the statesmen Of Europe
must wish that there had never been
any Fiume. But there it is, its po.
litical condition mocking tho treaty
of Versailles and endangering the
peace of the neighboring States.
President WILSON refused to give it
to Italy. but the Italian appetite
for it will not be appeased. First
D'ANNuNzIo seized it while the wise
men at Paris were discussing its fu-
ture. Between poems he wrote con-
stitution for Fiume, which was a
poem in itself. 1t promised the dawn
Of new era for humanity. Alas, IL
was only the dawn of new era OF
belligerency for the Adriatic town.
Italy had the best OF it when her
statesmen threshed out the Fiume
question with the Jugo-Slav diplo'
mats at Rapallo, for the Jugo-Slavs
gave up all claim to control Of the
port and the railroads; but the best
of it was not good enough for the
Fascist of the D'Annunzio type. In
they dash, overturning the provi-
sional government and ousting Presi-
dent ZANELLA. "Fiume must be Ital-
ian." is the cry Of the newcomers.
But Rome, remembering that Italy
has guaranteed the independence of
Fiume, is perturbed. The Ministry
trembles and troops hurry to th1
scene.
One OF the peculiar things about
the Fiume revolutions is that the
city is always urged to be calm.
Very likely CHARLEMAGSE urged it
to be calm before he destroyed it.
In the thousand years since then
It has been in the hands OF many
calmers: feudal lords, medieval bish-
ops, NAPOLEON, the British, Austria,
Hungary. Croatia and Hungary again.
Fiume might be calm were it not for
outer influence, for there are plenty
of funny fish in her sea and much
grapes in her vineyards. But her
citizens must smile when they re-
member that officially Fiume is
known as free city Free, maybe,
from established order.
The French newspapers, which
take the latest Fiume adventure very
seriously, suggest that the row might
we'll be referred to the League OF
Nations. Some OF them blame Mr..
CLEMEScEAU for the lack of peace,
just as the Italian press blamed Mr..
WILSON. Curiously, nobody blames
Mr.. LLOYD GEORGE, although it is
usually the habit to lay everything to
the British Premier.
IL might be good thing TO send
the case to the League OF Nations.
That body needs work badly. Also.
Fiume is now so hardened. after two
thousand years Of being meddled
with, as to stand almost anything,
even League OF Nations investiga-
tion or another poem by GABsrrrE.

China's Prospects.
Success OF the Republican South Pre-
dicted BY an American.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: have
received from a gentleman connected
with Boone University at Wuchang,
China, a letter on the situation in China.
Among other things he says:
.sThe corruption you referred to Is the
commonest sort OF thing. Every General
does that and that's why the central
Government has no money and why they
have so much power. Most OF these
Generals are in the Yangtse Valley and
north OF It. None of them intends IN
tho least to adopt the Constitution. All
Of them have seized the opportunity OF
the break I'D OF central authority cre-
ated by the overthrow OF the rule OF the
imperial family TO mako money and gain
power, each hoping to gain enough to set
up new central enc man power which
would leave him at tho head.
"As yet none has been strong enough
TO do Il. and so they so on nlaneuverirg
and borrowing and occasionally fighting.
or biuffing at II at least. to see IL they
can scare the other fellow out. In the
n,ea ntinne the people have always
wanted a settled Government and tina.
one a republican, and will support no
other unless they have 20 by the hnal
spccoss of one OF these Generals.
I'm the south the Cantonese are more
intelligent and so know better and value
constitution more than IN tho middle
and north. Perhaps this also may be dne
10 the fact that they have been furthest
from the seat OF absolute monarchy.
Tho south Is now gradually gaining IN
strength under the Constitution mado at
the time OF the revolution in 1911. which
wa. never allowed TO 90 into effect N
any OF the yangtsc Valley and northern
Governments. Hupeh, and particularly
wuchana. which you win remember wa:
the center OF the revolution, are very
enthusia site for tho Constitution. But
thew have been held down by the NORTH
crn people in control OF the Government
The south win. I believe, continue e
grow IN strength under the Constitution.
"strictiy speaking tho north are al,
rebels because they have never allowed
the Constitution TO 60 into effect. The
south 10 really the true Government be-
cause II is acting under the Constitution.
Tho south or real Government has. al
ready gained enough strength TO do al
but take Changshe. which Is the gate
way 20 wuchang. where they intend {,
establish the Government.
II believe that tho mtitarists cannot
hold out against the Government much
| longer. They have at their disposal
all the Government property they tool
over at the time Of the revolution. They
have also all the soldiers they've beer
collecting by means or their loans from
Japan. But they've never been united
they've wasted the greater part or theii
loans In quarreilng with each other foI
complete control; their soldiers are con.
stantly unpaid and so break out ir
lootings which enragc the people against
the Generals ana strengthen the south
