BELFAST, December 10.—The Irish Independent® today announces that it has received the following expres- sions of opinion from members of the hierarchy on Eamonn De Valera's 'stand with regard to the Anglo-Irish Peace agreement: Cardinal Logue: “I am in fayor of the treaty being ratified.

Archbishop Harty: “I hope the peace treaty between England and Ireland .will be ratified.” i “Bishop Brownrigg: “I heartily wish the peace treaty ratified.” Bishop Fol It would be a great calamity if the peace terms were not ratified.

J€ALOUS FITL IMPERIAL THINKING WON IRISH PEACE Changes in ¥iews by Personal z Contact Proved Revelation’ to Parley Delegates. EDWARD PRICE BELL. Cable to The Star and the Chicago Copyright, 1921. LONDON, England, December 10.— Imperial thinking achieved peace be- tween the British government and Sinn Fein Ireland. Without the ‘whole- hearted support of the unionists Prime Minister Lloyd George, with all his resourcefulness, good will and pa- tience, would have been helpless. Some yoors ago the unionists deemed themselves the only real exponents of British imperial _thought. Joseph Chamberlain urged British statesmen to think imperially, and fancied him-1 self to be the most vigorous imperial!l thinker of his time. But the unionists—in other words, the opponents of a liberal policy con- cerning such questions as the political status of South Africa after the Boer war and the demand of three-quarters BY Special ., Daily News. ! eign office statement today as a car- [President Obregon for several weeks. { 5¢'the people of Ircland for freedom— sier of contraband arms.

This con- ‘duct has been followed by other boats and, besides, it is suspected that while fishing they carried contraband arms. . “On December 7 the same San Diego consul reported shat the schooner Mabel had been captured in Mexican vaters because of the lack of a fish- ing permit and consular clearance papers, and was being detained at Ensenada in consequence of instruc- tlons from the prgper authorities.

The president’s jdeclarations also indicated that the ofl men's agreement called for pay- ment of part of the taxes, at least. in Mexican government bonds and that their recent cable communications with the DMexican chief executive pointed out the low market value of these bonds. ° Expect Huerta to Visit New York.

PARIS, November 20.—Copies of the masterpieces of the Louvre, made by unknewn or struggling artists, and long stored in the basement of the museum, are to be sold. Most of the coples have been in storage for more than thirty years, abandoned and forgotten by those who painted them. Some tell stories of ambitious beginnings and discour- aged endings. Many copies are but half finished. while still others are but dabs of paint. Many American names appear in the corners of these pictures of students, who have long since left Paris. A majority of the names are impos- sible to read, but a few have been discovered of men and women recog- nized 3n the world of art today. For obviolis reasons the youthful efforts of tiiese are not to be exposed with the names apparent. ‘The-fovers of art have been invited | 10 come and see these unique pictures, and t& buy them at their own prices, %o that the basement may be cleared for amnothes batch of abandoned ef- forts.
