BETTER SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS

The training school for Sunday School workers
now going on in Lakeland reminds us of the great
development that has taken place in the Sunday
school within our memory There was time when
picus ignorance was considered good enough to in
form the growing mind along religious lines, and
the old time Sunday school teacher did do world
of good in impartng spiritual truths, but her reg-
ious and historical facts were frequently badly
twisted, SO ihat we have the story of the pupil who
asked how anyone could walk on the housetops
and was told not to ask such questions as all things
are possible with God, instead of having it ex-
planned to him that the hcusetops of Palestine were
fat Neither was there the proper attention to
methods. Where should the Importance of efec-
live methods of instruction be stressed if not in the
important work of the Sunday school?
The establishment of the Sunday school train
ing school shows praiseworthy attention to these
facts, and another gratifying feature is the attend
ance of 200 earnest workers at the courses that
will better fit them for the work of religious Or
ganization and instruction

ARMED MERCHANT
SHIP PROBLEM
NAVAL AGREEMENT DRAFT NOW
READY FOR CONSIDERATION
BY ARMS CONFERENCE.
DEADLOCK ON SHANTUNG
Definition Of "Warshlp" Gives Rise to
Question Of Armed Merchantmen
Much Discussion 10 Expected
As Result.

Washington-As the arms conference
prepares to begin discussion OF the
final draft OF the five-power naval
treaty some of the delegates are max
ing a particular study Of the armored
merchant vessels as 1t may relate TO
the limitation agreement.
In no quarter is there apparent a
disposition to raise an issue which
might endanger the treaty at this
point in the negotiations, but among
the foreign delegations it is predict
ed privately that the armed ship prob
lem will be one Of the most difficult
Of the collateral questions to arise
when the final draft is gone over sec
ton by section for approval.
The Italians, Japanese and French
are said to feel that il merchantmen
are to be permitted to arm as in past
wars. the effect might be not only
to vitiate the project to limit individ-
ual auxiliary warships to 10000 tons
each, but 1t might also result in a
great disadvantage to the nations
which have small merchant fleets.
Beyond saying that the status Of a
merchant ship in future is to be the
status well understood in internation-
al law, the American and British dele
gates are not willing to discuss the
subject, 1t is the view in some quar-
tiers, however, that the British may
themselves bring the point up for Gis.
cussion before the treaty finally is
approved.
A plenary session Of the conference
to make the treaty public probably
will follow before the end of the week,
and then the delegates will turn their
full attention to a final attack on the
unsettled questions OF the far east.
Meantime the Shantung controversy
remains in deadlock. but hope of an
agreement during the week was en-
pressed in American quarters here
The mediation of Secretary Hughes
and Arthur j.. Balfour Is looked upon
by the Americans and British as al
most certain to bring the two groups
together, although this optimism Il
not shared by all of the Chinese and
japanese delegates.
1t is evident that the long-discussed
Shantung problem has been brought
to a delicate stage, where either q
settlement or an agreement to dis
agree will be announced within a few
days. Both the Japanese and Chinese
are showing signs of lack of patience
and unless the mediation effort is 3
success the subject is expected to be
dropped, so far as the Washington
conference is concerned.

Dublin.-The Republic OF Ireland il
dead! Long live the Irish Free State.
The republic died when the chairman
OF Dali Eirrean announced a vote on
the treaty. S~ixty.four voted for the
treaty and 81 against it.
Before the vote was announced tho
news OF how it was going had reached
the many thousands assembled outside
the National University and round
after round Of cheers disturbed the
calm of the assembly, which a few
minutes later was thrown into as great
a fever Of excitement itself.
The end came after the long weary
debate lasting nearly a month, with
an interruption for the Christmas
holidays, and the best speech in IA.
vor OF ratification was made by Mr..
Charles Burgess, the minister OF de-.
Tense. who has been a bitter opponent
OF any settlement with England. His
speech must have won votes for the
treaty by the violence and unfairness
OF his attacks on Arthur Griffith and
Michael Collins. He sneered at Mr..
Griffith as a mar who would never
have taken part in public life eycept
for the republic and denied that Mr..
Collins had a military record, saving
he was only a subordinate commander
and accused him Of seeking publicity.
In defending Erskine Childers, Mr..
Burgess said that Mr.. Collins had done
more than any one man to arm the
Irish people
Mr.. Griffith summing up in favor
OF the treaty made a mastery speech
lasting over an hour. He protested
In a dignified manner against attacks
on his personal integrity, pointed out
the advantages OF the treaty and ap-
pealed to the Dali to accept it.
After the vote was taken Mr.. De
Valera sat for a moment with his
head resting in his hands, and thon
rose, saying:
whatever has happened, whatever
they do, the republic is still the legal
government Of Ireland. | suppose my
resignation is due, but not yet"
Il suppose | should resign" he said,
hesitantlyo Il do not know whether
should do so now or later"
Loud cries Of Nov! Now interrupt
ed him.
III | resigned, | should demand that
the people decide the ISSUE" De Valera
responded, indicating he would carry
the treaty fight before the country.
Finally he called a meeting of his
followers at the Mansion House, when
the future policy Of the "die-hards
will be decided upon.
He then announced his resignation
saying:
THE Irish republic was established
by the will OF the people, it can only lie
dissolved by the will of the peope."
