NEWS REVIEW OF t CURRENT EVENTS Smuts' Efforts Bring Renewed Hope of Settlement of the Irish Trouble. MAY QUIT "REPUBLIC" IDEA Da Valera and Others Show Disposi tion to Yield No Improvement In Near Eastern Mess Germany Expects Coup d'Etat Tariff Fight Is On. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. The entry of Jan Christian Smuts Into the peace negotiations changed the Irish situation over night. The South African premier is regarded as one of the most astute statesmen In the world, and apparently Lloyd George has done well in enlisting his assistance. It now appears likely that a peaceful settlement of the Irish trouble will be reached before long. Optimistic persons were not dis mayed by De Valera's tentative refusal to attend the meeting In London pro posed by Lloyd George and Sir James Craig's refusal to confer with the Sinn Feiners and south Ireland unionists In Dublin. The latter conference was begun without representatives of Ul ster, and an attempt was made to reconcile the positions of the Sinn Fein and the unionists. Then Gen eral Smuts slipped across to Dublin, gave the leaders there a heart-to-heart talk, and hurried back to London to report to the English authorities. What he told them gave rise to the most cheerful of predictions. Though no official statements have been Issued, it appears that this is bow matters now stand: The British government Is willing to grant to Ire land the fullest autonomy, patterned after that enjoyed by South Africa; Ulster to be considered still a part of the dominion but having an autono mous government of Its own, such as that of Natal. "President" De Valera, Arthur Griffith, founder of Sinn Fein; Michael Collins and other republican leaders are now willing that Ireland thall remain a part of the British em pire though they prefer the term "British commonwealth of nations" provided their right of secession Is recognized. Other prominent Sinn Feiners, comprising the Intellectuals and doctrinaires, insist Prime Minister Lloyd George has not yet sufficiently recognized the essential unity of Ire land and Its right to self-determlna-, tlon. , AH the Sinn Feiners assert that Ulster must accept her autonomy from the supreme Irish parliament in Dub lin. The task that remains Is to recon cile these views and bring the Ulster Ites and southern unionists ' into agreement with the compromise plan. That this can be done is the expressed opinion of some of the chief figures In the negotiations. Says General Smuts : "I think, I am hopeful, I trust, that the question will be solved and that thereby the British empire will be freed from the Imputa tion that in this ancient part of the United Kingdom there still exists vio lation of the fundamental principles upon which the empire rests. I say that the problem Is soluble because I have seen it solved in my own coun try under circumstances less embit tered than in Ireland but certainly of a. very difficult character, too." De Valera, In his first authorized Statement since Lloyd George's invi tation, says: "We trust that the Brit ish prime minister's letter may prove to be the first step toward submitting a civilized basis of right and reason for that of barbaric violence in the arbitration of the question at Issue between Ireland and Great Britain. "Should the conference now initiat ed lead to an ultimate understanding nd lasting peace between the peoples of these two Islands, which have been In a state of war, or suspended war, Zor more than seven and a half cen turies, it will set a worthy Christian precedent for the entire world. "British prestige will be restored, young Ireland will live In history as j having saved, by its courage and stead fastness, the ideals for which millions were led to offer their lives in the great war." As significant, perhaps, as these statements was an incident in Liver pool. The city was decorated in honor of a visit of the prince of Wales, and in the Irish quarter wera displayed many Sinn Fein flags Inter twined with the union Jacks. A prom inent Sinn Felner said: "The order to do that came from Dublin." From this side of the world it looks as though the great powers do not know what to do with Turkey and the Turks. If they have any definite pol icy it isn't apparent from either their statements or their actions. The Treaty of Sevres already Is shot to pieces, even if the men who formu lated it are unwilling to admit it. Turkey was neatly partitioned, but refuses to stay In parts, and the' na tions to whom the helpings were as signed seem quite- unable to take or retain them. Naturally the sultan's government, to which the treaty left but a tiny part of the huge empire, Is not doing anything to hinder the efforts of the nationalists, who refuse to permit that empire to be carved up. Greece is making all preparations for her promised offensive in Asia Minor, and ships loaded with troops, munitions and supplies arrive daily in Smyrna from Athens. Observers who have been with Kemal Pasha are somewhat doubtful of the ability of the nationalists again to stop the Greeks, To complicate the situation In the Near East, It has become certain that Bulgaria Is co-operating with Kemal in the hope of regaining eastern Thrace. So far she has taken no overt steps, and If she does, the "lit tle entente," comprising Jugo-Slavia, Czecho-Slovakia and Roumania, . will get into action, for the real ralson d'etre of that alliance is their deter mination to keep Bulgaria within the limits now fixed for her. Moreover It is asserted that the "little entente" now has the complete backing of Italy. One thing the great powers are de termined to prevent the seizure of Constantinople by the Bolshevists. To this end the entire British Medi terranean fleet Is being concentrated in the vicinity of the Turkish capital. It may be that heavy re-enforcements of allied troops also will have to be sent to that region, for the Russian Bolshevists evidently are planning some big coup. They are calling to the colors all men from eighteen to thirty-five years" of age, and general mobilization is expected soon. The demobilization order issued some time ago has been canceled. More Inter esting than reliable is the story that Trotzky has been imprisoned on or ders from Lenin. Similar reports of disagreement between the Bolshevist chiefs have been heard too often. The present German government really seems to be Increasing in strength, and the confidence deposed in It by the allied governments is growing daily. That Is, the conft dence that it will carry out the terms of the treaty as far as possible. In a public address last week. Doctor Rathenau, minister of reconstruction. said : ' "The United States Is the world's chief creditor and Germany is the world's chief debtor, with all other na tions sandwiched in between these two as creditor and debtor nations, each tied to or obligated to one an other. "Germany is not a land of gold of raw materials, but a nation which lives, and will continue to live, by the work of her hands. We are, there fore, only able to pay our debts with our products, our mental and manual labor. This we honestly propose to do." Our State department is now busy ing Itself with the preliminaries for negotiating treaties that will make effective the peace with the central powers and restore diplomatic and other relations. Administration au thorities give assurance that nothing will be done that will disturb the cor dial relations existing between the United States and the allied powers, which presumably means that they are being taken Into the confidence of this government in the formulation of the treaties on which Secretary Hughes is working. Another thing demanding the atten tlon of the State department is the situation in Tampico where it is feared labor disorders may endanger Ameri can property. One or two navy ves sels have been sent there, but this was not to be considered a naval demonstration. The trouble In Tam pico Is a result of the recent decree of the Mexican government Increasing the export tax on oil. The Industry being checked, thousands of men were thrown out of employment and their attitude was threatening. President Obregon says the government has no Intention of rescinding the decree, and that the labor conditions are not as bad as reported. Germany, still apprehensive that she is to lose out in Upper Silesia, is cry ing "wolf" ngain. The country is warned of an impending coup d'etat and the allies are permitted to over hear the warning. The story, as it comes from Berlin, is that all the re actionary elements are prepared to march on Berlin and upset the gov ernment, and that the decision agiiinst German possession of Upper Silesia is to be the signal for move ment. The German Irregular forces were withdrawn from the disputed ter ritory. In accordance with the agree ment with the inter-allied commission, but they have not disbanded or dis armed, nor have they moved far from the Silesian border. These troops are commanded by monarchists, and it is reported that General von der Goltz, who led the Baltic expedition and also was mixed up in the Kapp revolution. Is now in Upper Silesia. A few days ago the German population of Beu then. in Upper Silesia, was making a hostile demonstration against the Poles and when the French troops tried to disperse the marchers, the latter fired on them, killing a French major. The troops retired to their garrison and opened fire with machine guns and a number of Germans were killed. So far the "peaceful" ar rangement made by the Inter-allled commission has not been a conspicu ous success. The inevitable battle over the tar iff was opened by a minority report from the Democratic members of the ways and means committee of the house. The bill as drafted Is de nounced as a "conspiracy to benefit a few favorites at the expense of all humanity." The report deals especially with the probable effect of the bill on American commerce and with the substitution of the system of Ameri can valuation as a basis for levying tariff duties. Calling attention to the fact that the foreign trade of the United States fell from $1,188,255,449 last July to $527,378,825 in May, 1921, the report says: "Certainly the natural process is preferable to the infected knife of in terested surgeons who, by selecting the industries to protect and those to destroy, can reap the harvest their campaign contributions seeded last fall. Verily, the oil men are entitled to their reward, and the lumber men and wool men and all the others who cast their bread on the waters of a Republican tide." Senator Smoot's subcommittee made haste last week to get the Sweet vet erans' bureau bill before the senate. rrVita la t li il nianeni-a that to ilaclimarl to provide proper care and adequate compensation for disabled soldiers and sailors through the co-ordination of relief agencies.

Difficulties of transportation form one of the big gest Darners against AiasKa development. We are now dependent wholly on boats operating out of Seattle. Inside Alaska, transportation conditions are no better. "We are building a railroad up there, but it begins nowhere and ends nowhere. In my judgment Alaska should be connected with the United States by an all-rail route through Canada. One of the bigpossibilities for Alaska is the development of a paper industry. Properly safeguarded, Alaska could supply us indefinitely with an amount of paper equal to that which we now import from Canada. But there again the transportation barrier controls. Alaska's coal fields are another source of great possible wealth. We are now developing mines there for the production of coal for the Pacific fleet. But perhaps the greatest barrier to getting anywhere with Alaska is the fact that at present half a dozen different government departments and bureaus have charge of various functions there, and there is no co-ordina tion and co-operation in plans for development. Before Alaska's future can be planned for and effective steps taken to tap her rich resources and open them to the people, there must be some central authority in control.

GHOSTS DO NOT LIKE LOOMS Mar Weaving In English Church and Burning of Incensé Falls to. Oust Them. Can ghosts be driven out of a church by the burning of Incense? Rev. John Bucknlll, curate of Thaxted Church, at P,ralntree, is now attempting to accomplish this diffi cult task. The "ghost" problem has arisen since two hand looms for weav ing church vestments were Installed in a room above the nave of the church. This room was used hundreds of years ago by the priests who sat there to watch and guard the candles burning on the altar. Since the Installation of the looms, however, mysterious sabotage has marred their work. Each night when the warp Is filled and the threads are arranged the loom Is screwed tight and the upper room locked securely. - Each morning the workers rind lhat during the night the threads are disarranged and pulled out and the work has to be done over. Miss Margery Cornthwalte, who Is in charge of the work, believes In the ghost theory. She made the following statement to support her belief. "I have come to the conclusion that the spirits of the old priests who for merly watched Thaxted Church from this priest's chamber do not like the weaving being carried on in their former abode and they are haunting the church." The curate tried to drive the ghosts out by burning Incense In the room, but so far has been unsuccessful. The use of poisonous gas at the end of the World war was a child's game compared to what it will be in the future. The old type cloud gas that required the burying of cylinders in deep trenches, requiring the work of many men for many days to prepare an attack, is obsolete, but the mod ern method is a totally different matter. A new American invention is the toxic smoke candle. It is a solid, safe and foolproof. It may be crushed, smashed, or punctured with bullets cr shells without harm. It is only when a fuse is lighted and a heating mixture is agitated that a gas is given off. The candles may be very light or they may be heavy ; they can be so small as to be carried in a knapsack, or so large as to require the efforts of many men. Its attacks are highly efficient, more than 50 per cent of the total weight being poisonous gas. Then there is a liquid gas, called "Dew of Death." If three drops of this liquid gas be absorbed into the skin, it will cause death in most cases, while smaller quantities will put a man in the hospital. This gas and the common mustard gas, which likewise burns the skin, can be sprinkled from airplanes in practically unlimited quantities. Gordon M. Johnson, Chicago Accountant The contention of its proponents that the universal sales tax would be well received because the people who pay it will not feel it is absurd.
