NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS British Cabinet Succeeds in Its Efforts to Settle the Coal Miners’ Strike. EMERGENCY ACT IS PASSED Government Ready for Any Contingency—lrish Everywhere Deeply Affected by MacSwiney’s Death— * Prince Paul Offered Greek Throne — American Farmers’ “Strike" by Holding Wheat. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Excepting for our presidential cam-, palgn, of whose closing days there is little or nothing to say, the affairs of Great Britain supplied the most interesting and important news of the week. The strike of the coal miners, with its threats of further and greater economic troubles, added to the Irish problem, gave the British enough to worry over and these two matters continued to draw the attention, sympathetic or otherwise, of the Englishspeaking world. Prime Minister Lloyd George and his cabinet were unremitting in their efforts to settle the miners’ strike, and on Thursday it was announced that they had .succeeded, if the miners would accept the plan. After repeated conferepces with the labor leaders a tentative agreement was reached. The settlement upon which the miners’ delegates, coal mine owners, and the government are agreed is a very complicated one. Briefly the men get a sliding advance of two shillings to one shilling six pence, according to age as was originally demanded. The miners and owners solemnly pledge to cooperate to secure an increased output of coal. National and district committees are to be established immediately to control the output and a joint national wage board will be established at the earliest possible time before March 31 for regulation of wages for the whole industry, with regard to profits of the industry and the principles on which profits should be dealt with. The miners’ executive committee was to submit the settlement to the miners’ federation for approval, so the return of the men to the pits will not be delayed. The railway men and transport workers, in view of the hopeful character of the negotiations, postponed any action looking to a sympathetic strike. Though very optimistic, the government made ready for all contingencies by rushing through to final passage its emergency bill. This arms the government with added powers to enforce the law in case the strike continues and the rail and transport men become involved. Though it was passed by a large majority, some concessions were demanded and received by the labor party. The law as enacted provides that nothing in the act shall be construed as authorizing the proclamation of any form of compulsory military service or industrial conscription or make it an offense for any person to participate In a strike or peacefully persuade any other person to participate in a strike. Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor of Cork, finally succeeded in starving himself to death in Brixton jail, a “martyr” in the cause of Irish freedom. The second death among the hunger strikers in prison in Cork also was recorded. These events deeply stirred all the Irish, in Ireland and America as well, and there were numerous masses and other ceremonies in connection with the deaths. The British authorities took every precaution to guard against outbreaks, and presumably they were seconded in this by the wiser among the Sinn Fein leaders. For the latter know that these would but bring on more reprisals and further repression.

OPPOSE REDUCTION OF ARMY Dutch Military Officers Object to Proposed Policy of the Minister of War. The Hague, Holland.— Although the minister of war has declared his Intention to reduce the army strength of Holland, a large number of atmy officers strongly oppose his policy. They compare the Dutch army with that of Belgium, a country about the same size as Holland, and which, instead of

The coroner’s inquest on MacSwiney was held Wednesday. The British jury refused to accept the position that MacSwiney was a suicide, bringing in a verdict that “The deceased died from heart failure due to a dilated heart and acute delirium, following scurvy due to exhaustion from prolonged refusal to take food.” The body was then taken to St. George’s cathedral in Southwark, where it lay In state. Thursday requiem high mass was said afid then a. tremendous throng of Irish and their sympathizers accompanied the casket to Euston station, whence it was taken to Cork. In that city arrangements were made for the final ceremonies on Sunday, and there was a great deal of uneasiness over what might accur. The authorities placed no limit on the size of the procession, forbidding only military formations. The people of Cork were said to be in sullen and threatening mood. The Irish sympathizers in the United States are not letting up any in their activities. The other day a delegation of tjiem, headed by Frank P. Walsh, presented to Secretary of State Colby arguments favoring the recognition of the “new republic of Ireland.” Mr. Colby listened without comment, but cautioned Mr. Walsh, when reference was made to Eamonn de Valera as “president” of Ireland, that as secretary of state he could hear them only on the understanding that they were there as American citizens and not as representatives of officials of the Irish people. “We demand recognition, not as a favor,” said Mr. Walsh, “but as a right. The Irish republic is now established as a de jure and de facto government. Its stability and representative character are attested by the indorsement of the ballots of 90 per cent of the Irish people. The courts of the Irish republic are functioning daily and their decisions are respected by the entire population.” Though not so important an event as it would have been before the World death of the king of Greece may lead to developments of some moment in that country. Alexander died on Monday as the result of a monkey bite. The state council at once decided that the throne should be offered to his younger brother, Prince Paul, but stipulated that if he accepted formed King Constantine must formally renounce his claim to the crown. Paul let it be known that his decision must be made by his father. There is a chance that if he declines the throne will be offered to Prince Christopher, Constantine’s brother, who early in the year married Mrs. William B. Leeds, an American. Still more likely, however. Is the establishment of a republic, probably with Premier Venizelos as its first president The expected .concerted movement of the Reds against Baron Wrangel in southern Russia has not developed very rapidly, possibly because the Bolshevik! are too much occupied in combating revolts within the territory which they control. The latest of these outbreaks are reported to be in the regions of Odessa? Kherson and Podolia. That the situation in the Moscow district is serious for the soviet government is indicated by the fact that Dzersjinski, president of the extraordinary executive committee, has been appointed commander in chief of all the troops there. He is the most brutal of all the Bolshevist leaders and is considered responsible for much of the Red terrorism and for many murders. Meanwhile Wrangel continues to inflict defeats on his adversaries and to capture prisoners and material; and he does not seem to have lost any ground to the Reds. The all-Russian soviet has ratified the peace treaty with Poland, and has given the Poles more territory than they asked at first, in return for a pledge not to help WrangeL Being informed by their military missions in Lithuania that large bodies of well equipped German troops were crossing into that country from East Prussia and concentrating in the Kovno region, the allies protested to Berlin, but the German foreign office replied that it was powerless to prevent the movement It was supposed the Germans were preparing to assist

reducing Its military forces Is spending millions to re-enforce them. Before the war Belgium’s war budget was about the same as that of the Netherlands about 90,000,000 francs (normally $18,000,000). Before 1920 this was increased to 600,000,000 francs (normally $120,000,000) and now, Inclusive of various extra credits it Is over 1,200,000,000 francs ($240,000,000). Holland’s military equipment Is largely out of date. There are no tanks, no modern howitzers, few bomb

rhe Lithuanians in an offensive.. against the Poles. ‘ The plan, apparently, is first to drive Zellgouski out of Vilna and then sweep southward to Suwalki, Grodno, and the Ossowiecs fortress. The matter of Vilna was referred to a plebiscite by the council of the League of Nations. Last JtTuesday the council adopted the plan for a permanent court of international justice recommended by The Hague committee of jurists, with the exception of the provision for obligatory , jurisdiction. The plan was in large measure the work of Elihu Root. The council closed its session Thursday. Some of the farmers of Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and the Northwestern states began last week their “strike” against the low price of wheat on the Chicago board of trade. Following *he instructions of their organization leaders, they are withholding their wheat from the market, and the effect of decreased receipts began to be felt at once. In the vicinity of Wichita, Kan., farmers picketed the roafls, urging those on their way to the elevators to turn back. The wheat raisers of lowa were urged to take part in the “strike” by E. A. Cunningham, secretary of tfiesta te farm bureau, who said the lowa wheat crop cost SI.BB a bushel to harvest and the oats crop cost 75 cents a bushel. He blamed manipulation for the recent sharp in prices of grain. “There is no justification for the tremendous break in the market,” 1 he said. “We believe a reaction must come. We urge every farmer to withhold his commodities. cannot , become mere serious and a further 'decline cah do' nothing uinre than to add to tlie seriousness of the situation. On the other hand, a reasonable reaction would probably avoid financial ruin.” The farmers are asked by Mr. Cunnfbgham to buy nothing but essentials. Farmers complain that they have to nay high rates to borrow money to handle the bumper crops. Meanwhile Canadian wheat, which is coming into the United States duty free, for milling purposes, is being bought in large quantities by mills and exporters In this country. The duty on Canadian wheat was taken off by President Wilson at the suggestion of Wheat Director J. H. Barnes in the effort to reduce the cost of living. It was expected that, in this way our millers would be enabled to lower the price of flour; the effect was limited, however. . For the first time since he wastaken ill more than a year ago President Wilson delivered a speech on Wednesday. A group of pro-league Republicans, headed by Hamilton Holt, called on him in the White House, and In response to their address be spbke, from his wheel chair, in defense of the league covenant as he brought it from Paris. In upholding article 10 he said: “It is the specific pledge of the members of theleague that they will utTlte to resist exactly the things which Germany attempted, no matter who attempts them in the future. It is as exact a definition as could be given in general terms of the outrage which Germany would have committed if it could.” Instead of being a threat of war. he said later, article 10 Is “an assurance of the concert of all the free peoples of the world In the future, as in the recent past, to see justice dons and humanity protected and vindicated. This is the true, the real Ameri-_ cahism. This is the role of leadership and championship of the right which the leaders of the republic intended that it should play. The so-called Americanism which we hear so much prating about now is spurious and invented for party purposes only.” « One sporting event closed last week and another began. In the international balloon race, in this country, the Belgian entry Belgica was declared the winner. On Saturday there was sailed, off Halifax, the first race of a contest between the fishing schooners Esperanto and Delawanna, the representatives respectively of the New England and Canadian fleets. The contest is officially recognized by tha governments of this country and tbo Dominion.

throwers and very little gas making machinery. Although something hat been done for Its Improvement the al: service Is still far behind modern requirements. Then there have been n« grand maneuvers for years, while in Belgium such maneuvers are common. Dutch military leaders declare they do not wish Holland to vie with Belgium in the Increase of armament, but they do wish a well-trained army of 100,000 men, “peace strength,” and supplied with all the requii ements of modern times.
