YEAR 80-NO. 280 HOME RULE PRINCIPLE IS NOW CONCEDED BY UNIONISTS THE The Manchester Guardian Says They Are In Line -- The Concession is a Very Important One. London, Nov. 26.--Discussing the settlement of the Irish question, the Manchester Guardian, the leading radical paper in the united kingdom, says: "The principle of home rule has now been conceded. It is al- lowed by the unionists no less than by the bome rulers that the exist: ing order in Ireland can no longer be maintained. Carson himself has admitted that whatever claims may be set up by himself and his friends for their own province and district, 'they cannot pretend at the same time to dictate terms to the rest of Ireland. That is an immense concession, the importance of which is insufficiently recognized. "The only matters now in dispute are the precise shape the Home Rule bill shall take and the area over which it shall extend." The Gpardiani proceeds to discuss the proposal by a correspondent that Ulster shall be constituted a privi- leged area for a period. of fifteen years, sending members to the Irish parliament; but having their local alfairg administered only by a min- ister of that parliament who shall he approved by the majority of Ul ster electors; and also that no Irish act shall apply to Ulster except it be approved by the same majority. This is far from being an ideal ar- rangement, says the Guardian, but it may secure unity and peace, leav- ing room for the growth of mutual respect and increasing co-operation. The Times, in editorial comment on the political eituation, further prodes Mr. Asquith about time slip- ping' by and nothing being done. Re- ferring to the proposal of an anony mous correspondent of the Manches- ter Guardian, and that paper's com- ments, the Times says that objec: tions to such a scheme are obvious enough, 'but it cannot profess to discuss the detalls of any scheme not bearing the stamp of authority of the cabinet. "It is to the government, not anonymous politicians," says the Times, "that we have a right to look for projects looking to a solu- tion. In the meantime, chief inter- est in the scheme mentioned lies in the tacit recognition that the claims of Ulster are solid enough to neces- itate a remedy which to the home rulers, must seem heroic in its mag- to BRIGHTEST, AT 40 T0 36. Marked Differences in Age of Great est Brilliancy, Paris, Nov.. 26.--Recent medical sta- tistics as to the age when man bas the most intellectual vigor give inter- esting results. It is from forty to fifty-six years that the most brilliant things have been accomplished by the majority of human beings. Chemists and physicians have made brilliant discoveries at forty. Poets hive accomplished masterpieces at forty-four, and novelists two years later. Famous warriors average forty- seven musicians are most brilliant at forty-eight, and actors at the same age.' Mdralists are greatest at fifty- one, politicians at fifty-three, humor- ists at fifty-six, thus demonstrating that the last thing one learns is how to amuse oné's contemporaries.

If the na- tion didn't know what it was driving at, God help it. The lord chancellor was the chiel sbeaker at a meeting held to further the voluntary service cause, for which an organization was recently formed to ' carry on a country-wide campaign. He urged that for an is tand power the voluntary system was the only one possible. But if he army and navy power weakened Britain would cease to 'be a potent joven for Pence, She must have a naval and military organization ca- pable of keeping up activities for a long period 'and that could only accomplished by the army being professional ome. 'Were he: French or German he would favor compulsory service, but the British problem was quite different. The lord chancellor scored the gloom prophets and their anticipa- tions, remarking that in a time of peace this was the most funky na- tion ever known, always working out possible contingencies and seeing bo- goys hehind every bush, but when brought to the pinch it did extraor- dinary things. The adjutant-general who was responsible for getting re- eruits lived with beads of perspira- tion constantly bursting out all over him, but experience had always shown that when the country was seriously menaced it would sive as manv 'men as needed. He believed we had the best organization we could have for the solution of the defence problem of the empire, and régretting that men of influence were trying to make us depart from the present organiza- tion.

GOOD WORD FOR THE TANGO Says It Will Restore Lost Grace of Movement. .London, Nov. 26.--A new point ' of view in regard to .the much discussed tango is being presented here. 1t is that the dance will restore the grace that was lost when the minuet and the other dances of old times were replaced by the waltz and other "jer- ky' 'dances of the last forty years. A well-known artist said: '"The tango, danced 'as it is meant to be, has as much grace as the old minute. The min- uet undoubtedly helped to make the folk of that age graceful. Its influence aliected the walk, and gave a gracious ease to the movements. Men and wo- men know how in those days, and did it naturally, too. It was a pleasure to see them cross a room and extend a greeting. . "After that, so far as grace is con- corned, came a period lacking distine- tion. The polka is to blame for a lot. It started the 'jerky craze, from which we have never really recovered. "Will the tango tend to check this, and make us graceful again ? I honest- ly think it will. lts, graceful movements are bound to afiect us. The tango, or varieties of it, is bound to stay with us for some years now. And 1 am be {will gradually 8 more. convinced that its graceful movements influence us more and For the lo time past the modern woman has saying: ~ '1 want my daughter to be made grave- ful." Now she is finding that the tan- go, danced skillfully, will achieve this. Before long we shall be noticing its influence in' the streets. I'eople should drop the present jerky, get-along-some- how style of walking, and progress quite as fast but more gracefully. "Dances have changed the character of nations before now, and it is quite feasible that the tango should ° make us mose graceful." DRAW OLERGY IN DISPUTE Fall Foul of Each Other Over Suff- rage, > london, Nov. 26.--The clargy are falling foul of each other with regard to the invitations issued by the bishop of Kensington to attend a meeting of protest against forcible feeding' of suf- fragettes in prison. Following the re- ply of the dean of Durham, Very Rev. Hensley Henson, justifying the gov- ernment, the dean of St. Paul's, Dr. Inge, while agreeing with the principle of female sufirage, says that their long series of diabolical crimes has removed the question from practical politics for several years to come. The rector of St. George's, Bloomsury. Rev. C. Baumgarten, adversely eriticizes both the government and the militants, but argues that militants be treated as leniently as Larkin and Carson. The bishop of Kensington, whose ap- peal originated the dispute, writes to the Times in reply to that paper's eriticism, and takés the stand that the church would be false to her trust us the peacemaker and shepherd if she has no : other contribution in this crisis than to endorse two deans'. con- demnation of the sufiragettes as crim- inal anarchists. "We refuse to allow a great movement, and we condemn'a noble cause unheard because some sup- porters have resorted to lawless me thods,"" he says, "but we cannot stand aside and accept as true or Christian the position in which death would range the church in support of the government methods of coercion."
