Deliveries made from all agencies on same day that paper is issued 2 6 2 MI ST IlKI.P Kl'ROPK 111 the Inly number ot the Review o! Re views is an article by Mr. P. A. Yanderlip, formerly president of the National City Bank of New York, written after returning Iroin a trip to Kurope. 1" this he gives his impres sions of Kitropean conditions and draws a picture of an appalling state ot a l fairs. In a letter to the editor of the above named magazine, Mr. Yanderlip comments on the situation and America's responsibility tr io] lows : “I am profoundly convinced oi the im portance of America seeing the European situ ation in its own light. “1 have been called an alarmist because of some of the things 1 have said in regard to Europe. Some people have, in this connection called me a pessimist. 1 feel that I am neither. I have a deep conviction that the European situation is in every respect as serious as I have indicated. Instead of being a pessimist, 1 have perhaps been a realist. At least I have tried to see conditions as they actually exist. “While the European situation present features of the deepest gravity, and while there are possible consequences that may de velop from present conditions that would mean a great catastrophe, I am, in the face of all that, filled with an optimism in regard to our own future—an optimism indeed that runs beyond anything that I have ever felt in mv life—if we do our part in helping Europe to its feet again. If Europe once starts back toward normal life, the position that America will occupy will, I believe, transcend anything that any nation ever occupied before. But we must not forget our intimate relation to Eu rope. We must not believe that we can smug ly live on in prosperity if European civilization suffers a still greater blow than anything the war has brought to it.” In an address delivered before the Econ omic Club, in New York, just after his arrival there, Mr. Y’anderlip declared that America must realize the conditions and act. He said: “1 believe that it is possible that there may he let loose in Europe forces that will he more terribly destructive than have been the forces of the great war. I believe that we can prob ably save the situation from anything occur ring as fearful as that. If I did not believe it, I should hesitate to say what I shall about conditions.” The New Yorker visited not only those countries just emerging from the war but neu tral nations. He looked upon things with the eyes of a trained observer of business condi tions. What he had to say of business, fh ances, industry and labor, carries with it the weight of his years of actual experience in the United States. There may be a different conclusion to draw from the facts which exist, but no one can doubt that they are actualize which he describes. SINN FEINERS IGNORE LOYAL IRISH Irishmen who served in the war against Germany have not found an easy life ahead of them upon their return home, according to j recent Dublin despatches. In fact, it is stated that these soldiers who loyally fought the bat tles of freedom against the Hun on French soil and elsewhere, have been forced to or ganize themselves in order to be heard. In Cork, says a Dublin correspondent of the Associated Press, it was proposed by the local municipal music committee to appoint as professor of traditional Irish music a German musician. There was no personal objection to the professor, except that he was a Ger man, but the soldiers would not have it. I'our hundred oi them turned out in a both and prevented the appointment. The secretan defending their conduct writes: “We are laced with a grave trouble it the people who yesterday were badlv misled by hopes oi German victories and who ha\u now taken a detinite stand against us. With out friends on anv sick and 1 clt to our owt resources we find that in our own country wu are unwanted and insulted. ( )n 1 \ recent 1\ a member ol the Cork hoard of guardians pro posed that no demobilized soldier or sailoi get employment from that hoard. The Gaelii players have seen lit to ban ns from then games. These and many similar incidents an not likely to improve our temper. l'o understand the feelings ol our mei these people should have a heart to heart talk with some of their countrymen who spent three or tour years in German prison camp.-, This is not a time to set Irishmen living at each others' throats over a job for a German professor.” The attitude assumed by Ramon de \’a! !era, president ol the so-called Irish republic (towards the returned Irish soldier, has not been one of hostility. He gave them credit fot fighting for what they believed to be the rig cause and the one they thot most likelv n j serve Irish freedom. As between the Irishmen who faced t! Hun on French battlefields, thousands of then now lying in "Flanders’ Fields” sleeping tin i last sleep of heroes and those Irishmen who 'attempted to torm an alliance with Germain by a rebellion w hich might well have been the cause ol the deteat of the allies, Amen s will not hesitate long in choosing. It de Valera and his supporters expect to gain any great degree ol svmpathv in the I'nited State-', and deserve the respect of the World which they crave, they will do well to refrain from attempting to outlaw those citi zens ol Ireland who loyally did their bit to ward crushing German militarism. In de manding recognition for what thev term their own right' they must not fail to give equal recognition to the rights of others. INTO COURT W ITH UNCLEAN H ANDS (Exchange.) W ith I )r. Nicholas Murrav Butler the j decent element of ah countries is bound to |agree that a German professor who approved, or retrained from condemning, the destruction jot Louvain is an object of contempt as he protests against expulsion of his kind from the University of Strassbourg. “Am one who comes into a court of equitv seeking re lief must come with dean hands." The Uni j versity oi I .eipsic, whose faculty joined the | German professors’ remarkable demonstration of September, 1914, and none of whose .at taches has been heard in protest against tlie record ot German crime against art, scholar ship, and science, as well as against humanity, pleads lor sympathy for the Germans expelled trom reconquered French soil. Instead of (sympathy, Dr. Butler furnishes some food for prayerful thot. The French staff did exactly what self respect demanded when they gave the Ger man scholars and scientists of the Strassbourg university twenty-four hours to get their per sons out of the Frenchman’s sight. It can never be forgotten that German professors as well as German preachers and authors not only undertook in the name of scholarship and science to justify every crime of German militarism, but that they led in the teaching of the monstrous doctrines out of which grew that miltarism. Dr. Butler’s reply, which will doubtless reach the l.eipsic professors thru the Swedish university which transmitted the appeal to Columbia, ouyht to teach German professors a lesson if their kultur-tainted minds can ab sorb any of the refinements of thot. Thev are bound, it they have memories, to observe the unpleasant contrast between the attitude of American educators as expressed bv Dr. Butler now and the almost servile attentions a yreat many American professors showered up on German scholars before 1914. By the time those Strassboury savants yet back into German surroundinys and yet the dust brushed off their clothes they probable will have seen the point to the French imita tion to clear out. The liquor legislation proposed bv the Canadian government is intended to recog nize provincial rights. It provides that liquor may be manufactured in provinces which per mit their sale, and thus modifies the wartime order-in-council which prohibited all manu facture. Vernon Kellogg, who has just returned from a careful study of the food problem in central Europe, warns against keeping Ger many on a minimum ration. To curb bolshe vism it is not enough merely to refrain from starving a nation to death. LIE WELL AND THEN STAND PAT Hattie M |t'Orsa> Lin a ga> nimrod from tin North.

(fP)- In a report j to the peace conference, it is said that the Bulgarian opposition in east ern Macedonia, during the allied oc cupation of that territory, resulted in a reduction of the population by one hundred thousand persons. Thirty-two thousand of these peo ple. says the report, died on account of the ill treatment accorded them or the hunger caused by the Bul garian troops. It is said that these deaths could have been easily avert-, ed had the Bulgars treated the popu lation in a humane manner. UNITED STATES DEPOSITORN THF FIRS?
