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.

Sure “fisherman's luck" means naught
to me.
Faith, it’s not luck at all!
'Tis just a fishing knack 1 have.
That lands them great or small!
The tackle No, it's never that.
An angler must be born!
1 never read Ike Walton’s tales.
Care less where fish mas spawn
1 know a trick worth two of his.
I keep it ’neath by hat,
111 tell you if you’ll never tell!
In just two words Stand Pat!
Just claim you “caught tin biggest
fish
Hut sold it coming in.
That fish, when standing on his tail.
Would surely reach your chin!"
When they grow' tired of hearing that
And seem your tale to doubt,
Buy all the native boys have caught.
From greyling to horn-pout.
Then let them fetch them all the
way,
’Till just outside the town.
And then proclaim, “It wasn’t much
Fish fall for me, fins down!!"
That beats the watchful, weather
eye,
The signs so often failing
The native likes the work or sport
That goes with baiting grayling.
You just talk fish and how they bite'
Tell how you “towed" ’em in."
And all about a “certain place”
Where none of them have been.
Of course they’ll go nor get a bite
You’ll lie some more, an’ that
Is just tlie way most anglers do
Lie Well, and then Stand Pat!

MENT AND HUNGER
PARIS, July 25. (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.
