Tls. 107,000 having , been given in a campaign for funds held in Shanghai last year and Gold $150,000 having been contributed by Mission Boards in the United States. It has been planned to make the new school a center of American community life in Shanghai. The site that has been . ' selected is a tract of about 17 acres located admirably in the French Con- cession. The American school in Shanghai or- . Iginally was founded by the various northern part of the city.

North Of Ireland. “North Ireland had regarded it- self from its own vicwpoint, and in entering negotiotions they need not give up that point of view." I would be willing to suggest to the Irish people that they give up a good deal in order to have Ireiand able to look into the future without anti¢ipating distracting internal problems. “All the time thesc signi have mean: an attempt to get into touch with the people of the north and tell them we have no enmity and would make sacrifices for them which we would never think of making °~ for Britain. We will be ready to give them every safeguard any reasonable person could say they were entifled to, and we arc ready to leave the question of tha north to cxternal ar- bitration or leav: the whola question to externa! arbitrat’on. England’s Claim Unreasonable. “England’s claim is unreasonable. The claims of the minority in Ireland are unreasonable. But even unreason- able claims we would be ready to con- sider, and I for one would be ready to go a long way to give way to them, particularly to their sentiment if we could get them to come with us.and consider the interests of their own country and not be allying themselves with foreigners.” Mr. De Valera said the Irish nation; did not stand between England and the world ‘and was not shutting up the seas between the two islands. No Enmity to England. “We have no enmity to England.” he declared. “At least if this uestion! were settled I believe there would be none. which the Irish people hate to the marrow of their bones.” It was said, remarked the republi- can leader, that the Irish question was a problem. It was a problem, he de- clared—a problem of a powerful, self- ish person wishing to encroach upon rights, the property and the freedom of his neighbors. That was the fun- damental problem to be settled. Human nature had to be taken into consideration, he pointed out, .and they who were working for a cqm- plete and final scttlement were to' see to it that relations must be adjusted on the basis of right. Therefore, in considering the problem they whothad right on their side, he said, lx‘ust count. “The Irish’ people won't flinch h‘ew because more arms are being sent " he declared. Hopes Go Glimmering. Dublin, Aug. 17. (By Assoclated Press.)—Hope for an early settle- ment of the Irish problem by accept- ance of the British government's offer of dominion status for Ireland seemed to be dim when the Irish republican parliament began the second’day of its session here today. Yesterday's events, the pledge of fealty to the Irish republic by members of the par- liament and the address of Eamonn De Valera chieftain of Sinn Fein ap- peared to have removed into the in- definite future an agreement that would end the controversy that for generations has embittered relations between England and Ireland. Situation Not Hopeless. There were, however, indications that the situation was not hopeless and that out of the present meeting of the parliament there mighi come some plan by which negotiations with England might continue. It_ was point- ed out that while- Mr. De Valera had reiterated Ireland’s claim for separa- tion from Great Britain and had vir- tually bid defiance to the Briitsh gov- ernment, he had not closed every ave- nue for resuming conversations with Prime Minister Lloyd George. In.the text of his address there were found by the hopeful numerous passages which were construed as meaning that, under their present mandate the men who constitute the Irish republican government could not accept the British offer looking to a settlement. These passages were con- calling of a plebiscite by which the sidred as possibly forecasting the Irish people might express their de- sires and, themselves, accept or reject the terms laid down by Mr. Lloyd George. London, Aug. 17.—Londen newa- papers, even thosa that have most today viewed with considerable re- gret the statements made by Eamon De Valera at yssterday's meeting of the Irish republican parliament. There was, however, reluctance in re- gard to hin speech as expressing Ire- land’s last word, and some editoriala declared confidently that if the issun was placed before the Irish people, the British terms of settlement would be accepted. The only enmity is to that x‘ule‘ ICED___ "SALADA” H216 The Summer Beverage “Par Excellence”’ It’s So Refreshing. JUST TRY IT! Asseitions were made, on tha strength of Dublin advices, that the Irish, having tasted peace sinca tha establisMinent of ‘th- truce, would never consent to a return to hostili- ties and that, indeed, few Irishmen believed there was anv probability of a resumption of warfare. Acceptance Predicted. Opinions differed as to whether the repubiican parliament would itsel?, vote aceptance of the British terms or would call a referendum. Tha pre- dominant view was .that acceptanca of the British government’s offer would probably result in any case, The Daily Mail said the Catholic clergy of Ireland was using its ut- most influence in favor of acceptance and it expressed belier that the “vast proportion” of the members of the Dail Eireann were determined to ac- cep: the British terms. The London Times. took ocasion. to warn the ex- remists who oppose acceptance -that ‘Great Britain’s mind is finally made up and nothing can shake its deter- mination not to yield upon the cardin- al point of the maintenance of a vetween Great sritain and Ire- Quoto Amcrican Press. Considerable prominence was given extracts from editoriala appearing in American newspapers most of them earnestly advising the Irish not to re- ject the goévernment’s offer. The Daily Telegraph, commenting upon these editorialy said: “Americani are deeply impressed with the dramatic act of generous re- nunciation by the British government in the pursuit of peace. They per- ceive,'if soma Irishmen do not, what an immensec moral sacrifice the. gov- ernment has made rather than see the ruin of Ireland consummated, and they feel that some yielding should be apparent on the other side. BOLSHEVIKS SEEK PRODUCTION AIDS All Kinds of Experimems Being. Tried In Effort to Increase Output of Fac- tories—Premium System Used. Riga, Latvia, Aug. 17—Many experi- ments are being introduced in the man- agement and supply system:’of Russian factories in an effort by the Bolshevik government to increase production in order to obtain products to exchange with the peasants for. food. Some time ago a plece work scale was introduced in the hope that this would incite individual workmen to in- creased efforts. According to a Mos- cow dispatch, all factory managements have been ordered to carry it into ef- fect urgently and immediately. In many industrial concerns a collec- tive rationing plan has been substituted for the old system of granting individ- ual rations. Under the new method a whole: factory is granted a monthly al- lowance of foodstuff and money on the condition that it turns out a stipulated amount of goods. If the factory is able to produce this quantity with a smaller number of workmen than estimated, the surplus of foodstuffs and money can be distrib- uted among the workmen as a pre- mium. The All-Russian Council of Trade Unions has issued a circular pointing out that increase of wages in money payments are inadvisable at this time because this would necessitate an in- crease in the output of currency which the government is even now unable to print in sufficient quantities. The gov- ernment is said to have been printing until lately about 200,000,000,000 of rubles of paper money a menth.. This ‘amount ‘has been increased to the maxi- mum possible output. of the printing machines.

COMMITTEE SEEKS | EXPERT'S ADVICE Would Have Potent Data in| - Trolley Matter Save $60 on a Quick Purchase of the World’s Greatest Washing Machine REGULAR $160.00 LIMITED QUANTITY $99.75 « Easy Payment Plan $109.00 The opportunity came to us'to secure these machines from a distributor who was greatly overstocked. The special committee named by the common council of the city to investi- gate conditions of the Connecticut Co. with a view to securing a decrease in fare rates, better service, or the return of the jitneys, met last night in city hall. Alderman Angelo M. Paonessa ‘was named chairman. The committee got into interested conver-| sation about their task and everyone) seemed anxious to be able to report back something. of importance to the council. Machine Gilpatric to Boston It was voted to send Alderman Gil- patric to Boston where he will get in touch with a trolley expert statistician who will be able to gather data neces- sary to present the city's case be Miss Alice Fitzgerald ‘of the-New |§ fore the high authorities when action will be expected. The vote came after it was stated by Mr. Gilpatric that it would be difficult to get anything with potent force before the public utilities commission unless it was cared for by an expert. Data such as will be necessary in the case could only be gotten by a man who has had exper- ience in delving into trolley matters. seeking information ‘on costs of main- tenance, high salaries of officals, floating debts, etc. In order for the city of New Britain to gain anythiny at a hearing, it was the opinion of the members bt the special committee that big, powerful facts would have to be used in a local argument and it was judged wise to have an outsides get those facts. Paonessa Wonders Alderman Paonessa was unable to understand how even an expert would be able to gain access to the books of the company here to find out their daily income, their transporta- tion facilities, their difficulties, and their history in general. But if an ex- pert is called to the city to work op the case he can gather general infor- mation about traffic conditions in the city and can estimate the expenses of the company so as to bring forward some proofs of the situation here.} With a general review of the condi- ,‘ Our Purchase Means Your Good Fortune The factory has not reduced the price.

In this way the commission would get the two sides of the story. This plan has been followed out in other cities and found to be advan- tageous.

The Lost Needle HERE'S an old English play known as “Gammer Garton’s Needle”. Its plot is woven around the loss of the family needle—no trifling misfortune in the days of old. Today, in this era of ours, life is so rich in comforts that we seldom wonder how folks got along in the an- cient world. And we sometimes forget what an import- ant role advertising has played in making life pleasant and altogether livable : Advertising has one of the leading parts in the eter- nal drama of dollars. To it is directly due much of the multiplication of products and services which has come about during the last half century. It has smoothed the mechanics of existence—made life easier and more pleasant by bringing countless ne- cessities—once considered luxuries—within our easy reach and into continuous use. 3 Think of this when you read these columns. You owe much to advertising. : And you miss much when you fail to read it!
