already lost three children, decided to
follow the local custom and adopt
him as a founding. There was n
superstition that the child would sur

Eleutherios was duly taken away from
his mother and deposited on n heap of

who, of course, played their role in

COURTESY AND MODEsTY

The Old South has long since been
dead, and only faint memory of it
NOW remains in the minds of men.
There are among us just few old
men and old women who lived in it,
suffered for it, and still intensely love
IT. But they are fast passing on. and
in a few years will all be, gone, and
then none will be left to revere it.

possible for the women Of the Old
South, as they are for the angels in

1t Is becoming more evident daily that
new spirit exists in Ireland. De
Valera and his irreconcilablc repubi-
can adherents are finding the ground
cut from under them with each move
that Collins makes in cooperation with
the Lloyd George government.
A bitter political fight is in prosp pect
for late spring. but the odds are grow
ing steadily in favor Of Collins and
Crifh'h. There is no expectation tat
northern Ireland will rush to join the
Irish Free State, but there is a drift
in that direction, and when the fnan-
cia position Of the new dominion is
better known Ulster may consider it
wisest to unite.
Mr. Lloyd George has every reason
TO feel elatcd, for not only has he the
satisfaction of seeing his Irish policy
developing successfully, but his po iti-
cal position here is infinitely easier,
now that the bitterness between the
north and the south is disappearing.
The Irish treaty bills, which will be
introduced in Parliament a fortnight
hence, will have plain sailing.
