LONDON, Jan. 1Z— uo you urmm
sked the Irish lawyer.
“That's my business,” responded the
ngry witness.
"Aa-any other business?" asked the
iwyer.
It's an old story, but, according to
ol. Buchan, 1 met that Irish lawyer
iday. Col. Buchan avers it was Sir
Idward Carson, no less, the mosti
bused person in present day politics.
We had an enjoyable interview with
'arson today. He explained what he
eally thinks about the League of Na
ions, taking pains to remove the im
ression that he is opposed to the
iea; and he made it clear that he
nows that the western border of Ger
nany is well on this side of the Rhine
nd has no desire to continue the war
ntil the kaiser’s host has been driven
11 the way back to the river. He
idn’t talk about Ireland—whose arch
iend or savior he is, according to
whether your sympathies are with the
Ireen or the Orange—but said per
laps he would next time.
No. 2 Whitehall Gardens, where
tiembers of the war cabinet have their
ffices, is one of the same row of an
ient mansions wherein Nell Gwynne
lad her residence in her days of high
avor. In a big barren looking room,
inly maps and half-filled bookshelves
in the walls and little furniture save
i dozen chairs and a wide flat desk,
ve found the ex-attorney general and
x-first lord of the admiralty. He sat
eaning forward across the desk, sizing
is up as we came in after the manner
if a lawyer preparing to pick his jury.
If everybody had learned his Hoos
er history from the same book that I
lid it would be easy to describe Car
ion. He looks like that book’s picture
if Black Hawk, the Indian chief.

him magnificently attired in feathers,
but in this one he is featherless, just
like Carson. There is the same glossy
black hair pulled straight from the
low widow's peak to his crown, the
same long face and heavy features
with deeply grooved lines about the
mouth. Everything about his face be
speaks force.
Looking at him it was not hard to
understand how he was able to con
vince the British government that the
Ulster rebellion was a fight-to-the-fin
ish affair and not a bluff, as the Irish
Home Rulers maintained. Nor was
it hard to understand that he was ac
counted one of the most ruthless cross
examiners that ever tortured an un
willing witness.
His manner was all that of the law
yer as he talked. He fiddled with the
papers on his desk in a thoughtful
way, as though preparing to propound
a dreadful question rather than to
answer such a one. Matter of fact,
I don’t think he dreaded the question
about the League of Nations. The
liberal newspapers have hounded him
ever since his startlingly ironical ex
clamation, “Talk to me about a League
of Nations!" and I think he was glad
to hear Joe Grigg's hesitant query on
the subject.
, At any rate he was ready for it. He
talked for twenty minutes in a slow,
easy, reasonable way, outlining almost
every conceivable difficulty that will
confront the organizers of the pro
posed league, but always getting back
to a declaration that something must
be evolved from the war that will
make future wars imspossible and that
the League of Nations may be that
thing.
I hope to be present when he talks
about Ireland.

WASHINGTON, March 14—While
spilepsy and insanity will follow in
he wake of the starvation that is
slowly strangling Germany, food ra
tioning is building a sturdy and
Healthy people in England, France and
America.
This was the opinion today of Prof.
Hadlicks, noted Russian scientist,
head of the division of physical an
thropology of the Smithsonian Insti
tute here, who is conducting a study
of the effects of the world food short
age.
‘‘Malnutrition has so weakened the
resistence of the German people,"
Prof. Hadlicks said, ‘‘that it may take
a century before the undernourished
and disease-stricken people can be re
stored to their former soundess ol
health.
"The facts are being hidden from the
world; but alarming reports by Ger
man scientists are known to be in the
hands of the Imperial government.”
“The continued malnutrition has
brought widespread gastro-intestinal
disorders and increased infant mortal
ity to an alarming point.
“Only the soldiers in the trenches
government officials and the more ad
fluent classes are receiving sufficieni
food. The bulk of the people are ex
posed to a complication of diseases
which will leave their traces for gen
erations to come.
"Food rationing among the allies and
in America, on the other hand, will
only prevent overeating and build a
healthy and sturdy race.”
German newspapers reaching the
I outside world, Prof. Hadlicks said, in-1
dicate the German internal condition. |
“Reading of the Berlin Vossiche j
Zeitung gives the impression one per
son of every three in the empire is
suffering from dysentary.
“An alarming increase in deaths j
from phthisis in Berlin, is shown by
reports of the Berlin statistical bureau, j
Pneumonia deaths also have increased |
as hav^those from pleurisy. Official;
German reports reaching here have'
placed the figures for these increases
at: phthisis, 56 per cent; pneumonia,
| 62 per cent; other lung diseases, 77
per cent.
“ ‘As to infant mortality,’ states the
Vorwaerts, ‘the rate is unusually high
this year in Berlin. It is true that the
actual number of deaths is below that
of recent years, but this is explained
j by the extraordinary decline in births.
Proportionately, the number of infant
deaths is considerably more unfavor
able this year than last,’ ”
