ATTACK ON COLLINS

Americans are so intensely interest- cd in the affairs of Ireland that they hesitate to discuss them fearing their words may stir up feeling which may be one more straw tending to delay peace and happiness in that romantic island,
 The attack on Michael Collins, ser ious because 1t endangered the life of a man and an event to be deplored, is no significant sign that the trouble in Ireland has reached any more decided climax than before the attack. Collins himself met it as a good, brave Irish man would meet such an emergency. He is inclined to belittle it's import ance. He saw the humorous side in that the young chap who fired the shot did not know who he Collins. was.
 Collins and Griffith are in no more or no less difficult position than is De
 
 three are inspired by patriotism of the highest sort, The sympathy of this country is with the desire of Ireland for freedom absolute. The only ques- ton in the minds of thinking people in this country is if it would not be better for Ireland to make the first step toward that absolute freedom--a chance now offered her-in peace and quiet relying on the development of the unmistakable trend of the world toward democracy to bring that free dom eventually. There may be an honest difference of opinion on this part. DeValera believes the leap to attempted freedom should be made now, and no tentative step being all lowed to satisfy. Those who support him believe the same thing. Collins and Griffith believe peace and the step" in the right direction would bring a wonderful happiness to Ire land, and prosperity, and that the joys of liberty would follow. The true be- liever in the eventual triumph of democracy, sees wisdom in their course while sympathizing heartily with the aspirations of De Valera and his followers-for Ireland.

R( SsIAN-GERNIAN TREATY

In the midst of the muddle caused by the signing Of a treaty between Russia and Germany re-establishinG | diplomatic relations on a basis of equality, one point stands out-it alters the situation which existed be- | fore Germany and Russia were inVit- cd to the conference. Delegates of Germany and Russia may insist that | it has no effect upon the relations Of either country to the allies and does not affect the purpose of the confer ence, but, had it been signed before the Cannes resolution was adopted it is extremely doubtful if that confer ence would have invited Russia and Germany to participate. Their partici- patton was necessary, however, If the conference was to be a success. It fol- lows therefore that probably no Genoa conference would have been planned had the Russian-German treaty existed before the Cannes reso- lution was passed.
 On the other hand it is doubtful if either Russia or Germany would have desired or dared to make such treaty if both Germany and Russia had not found out, as they have found out at Genoa, that their wishes would not be acceeded to. Germany came to the conference desiring above all things a change in the reparations plans. It did not take her long to find out no change would be made. Russia came wishing a cancellation of her debt. Quickly she discovered the impossibilty of having her fimsy claims against the allies and the United States recognized-the claim against the United States being based on grounds similar to those upon which her demands against the allies are founded
 Both Germany and Russia being disappointed in the very matters bringing them to Genoa, they seek to give strength to each by an alliance which, they believe might make the allies consider them more seriously. It is not going too far to characterize the act as form of trickery adopted in order that the Russian-German treaty may be made the basis of compromise. Russia and Germany may say respectively: Balance the debts,' and Modify the reparations, and we will quash the treaty
 No better illustrations of German characteristics and the insanity of Russian political ideas, as prevalent at present, might be imagined than the signing of this treaty under the conditions as they are.

! COMEDIANS DEATH.

Those who remember the humor of the vaudeville team of Ward and Vokes of twenty years ago are shocked to hear of the death of Harry Nokes from injuries resulting from an explosion of the Beacon oil Works where he was employed as pump tender.
 It is impossible for one not know ing the full details of the life of man to declare that such life was not a success. It is possible, however, to see in the death of man who once drew many thousands to the theater where he was playing a certain pathos in his comparatively lowly position when death came. It is quite pos sible to imagine that Harry Nokes no matter how much he might have en- 1oyed life, would either have chosen another means of making a livelihood

"ENGAGING IN POLITICS."

It appears there are regulations pertaining to tiremen and their atti- tude toward politics. A member of the department has been suspended for 30 days for violating them. The merits of the matter cannot be re- viewed here; the facts are not known. No criticism of the fireman, the Chief or the commissioners is intended therefore
 The point to be made is that if such rules are proper in regard to firemen they should be applicable to other employees of the city, If such rules are possible of enforcement in one branch of the city service they should be enforced in all departments Naturally, as long as such rules stand fhey should be followed and violators of them should be punished.
 The rules regarding political activi- ties of city employees would vary, of
 
 Iitica or other work which interfered directly Or indirectly with the proper performance of the duties of employ ment should not be countenanced Keen interest, however in city af- fairs should be legislated against no more in regard to city employees than in regard 10 any other workers.
 The line between proper interest and improper activity is a very mar row one and should be drawn with care to the end that such activity countenanced in one department should not be made cause for punish ment in another. Total elimination of political influence that would in- fiuence action by city employees is to be desired as thoroughly as it is despaired of,

"THE SPORTING PAGE"

The season of the year has come when a great part of the population turns to the Sporting Page" of a newspaper at once
 Reading about healthful sports is next only in importance to partici- pating in them or witnessing them in the open air. When man stops reading of sports he should glance in the glass and see if the change has been written in wrinkles on his face. Then he should place his hand over his heart and see if it beats with the same strength. Then, and most i'm portant of all. he should look closely to see If he is putting into the work he does each day the same pep and energy he used to give to fielding of a baseball, pulling an oar, running, jumping, golfing, or doing any of the other things requiring skill or strength in which he used to excel.
 If he finds that the pep and en- ergy are gone he should make it q practice first to get into the game again if possible. If not that he should try to arouse his interest again by seeing all the out of doors sport ing contests possible. If both are out of the question. or as an added in- ducement to his interest, he should turn to the sporting page" each day and get acquainted again with the athletes, all the old games, and with the new life that comes from stirring of that interest
 The world needs healthful sport as never before. Organization is neces- sary in order that there may be a great deal of sport this spring and summer. The importance of organiz- ing teams early is called to the atten- tion of athletes. No part of the spring and summer should be wasted in organizing. It should have been done long ago. Organizations should be perfected now and all arrange ments made to ''get going" from the first warm days, the drop of the hat" until long after the leaves begin -' -s E
