The Sinn Fein victory over the Nationalists In the recent Parliamentary elections ex ceeded the highest hopes of the Sinn Felners. - It is believed that when the final count is made on December 28 the Sinn Feiners will have won a majority of the Irish seats. In fact, before the elec tion they had gained 25 seats because the Nationalists did not oppose them. The Sinn Feiners elected will not take their seats. They will forfeit the 150 which they had to post as an elec tion fee and which is -returnable only when a member takes bis oath and his seat. Irish Assembly Proposed. Their immediate purpose, according to one of their most prominent lead ers, is to convoke an Irish Nationalist Assembly early in January. The as sembly would draft a National consti-. tution for Ireland, which would be laid before a conference of all nations. Complete separation and a. republic wholly independent of Great Britain are boldly claimed by come Sinn Feiners. The difficulties in the way of a home rule agreement still persist. Various plans have been suggested to bring about home rule, but none has substan tial backing from any organized party in Ireland. Meanwhile the government In Ire land is concerned mostly with the prob lem of the reconstruction of industry after the war,, and plans are being pre pared for industrial and agricultural improvement. Viscount French. Lord Lieutenant and the Secretary for Ire land, Mr. Shortt, are in accord with this movement, which may be affected adversely by the absence of Irish mem bers from Parliament if the Sinn Feiners carry out their threat. Nationalist Fight Weak. The Nationalists made a weak fight in many districts and failed entirely to contest such moderate constituencies as Carlow. In Ulster Cardinal LoruA was a Header in organizing opposition to the followers of Sir Edward Carson. With Catholic bishops and others he allotted the eight doubtful seats in Ulster equally between the Sinn Feiners and the Nationalists and called upon the supporters of each party to vote against the Carsonites. Cardinal Logue, who has condemned the Sinn Fein policy as "foolish and disastrous," announced his intention to vote for the Sinn Fein candidate. This was another bomb in the ranks of the Nationalists. who were weakened further by the support given the Sinn Fein by Archbishop Walsh of Dublin, Bishop Fogarty of Killaloe, Bishop Hallinan of Limerick and Bishop Coha lan of Cork. Appeals Made to America. Appeals to America played a great part in the contest on both sides. The Nationalist leaders recalled that the Sinn Feiners had Insulted the American flag and supported Germany. The Sinn Feiners minimized the reports of in sults and repudiated allegations of pro Germanism by claiming they were only pro-Irish. No speech was complete without a reference to the Irish and America and some Sinn Fein speakers claimed that from 90 to 100 per cent of Americans favored the Independence of Ireland.

GERMAN-AUSTRIA HOPEFUL i ii hi- - i FALL OF IIAPSBCRGS' COUNTED FORTUNATE EVENT. Karl Scitz, Leader, Says His People Have No Hatred Toward Eng land, France or America. VIENNA. Tuesday. Dec 24 "The only bright spot In the tragedy of Aus tria was the release of the country from the Hapsburg autocracy, which could never be restored," declared Karl Seitz, leader of the German Socialists in Austria and president of the Na tional Assembly of German-Austria, in an interview today. The late or (Jerman-Austrla was especially tragic," he said, "because she had been accused wrongfully of kindling the war. History would prove, he declared, that the German-Austrlans had no expansive aspirations against the Slavs and always had opposed the action which started the war. "No country in the world, he asserted. had suffered such brutality and perse cution at the hands f the military class as naa German-Austria. The German-Austrian republic, .which had not yet been recognized by the entente as an independent state, M. Seitz declared, faced the greatest dif ficulties concerning food supply, rail way material and capital. It would hardly be possible to maintain this state economically without a loan from the entente, he asserted. He contended that the smoothness and order with which the revolution In Austria had been achieved had done much to restrain the spread of Bolshe vism In Germany. Entente subjects who had remained in Austria throughout the war had, he said, suffered no ill treatment from the people of German-Austria, who had no hatred against England. France or America.
