EXTENSIVE PLANS
FOR CONVENTION

The countrywide scope of the Y. M.
c. A. work as it is being conducted
in Imperial county is being illustrat-
cd by the interest which is being
shown in every community regarding
the second annual county convention
to be held in Davis nall, FL Centro,
Monday night, May g. Men from
every town and smaller community
lave signified their intention to be
present at this gathering.
Last years convention was unavoid-
ably held the same night the Barbara
Worth hotel was opened. Notwith-
standing the widespread interest which
every resident of Imperial Valley felt
in the historical event, there were
$50 men in attendance at the Y. NJ.
c. A. convention. This year the coun-
ty committee has tried, to choose a
date which they hope will not conflict
with that of any other organization.

The ladies of the FL Centre First
Baptist church have consented to pro-
vide the banquet. Under the direc-
ton Of these experienced caterers,
well-cooked and well-served supper is
assured.
The main address of the evening
viii be given by Professor Tully C.
Knowles of the University of South
crn California. Professor Knoles is
well known in religious and educa-
tional circles. He has been in the val
ley before, having visited the high
schools and lectured throughout the
county. Professor Knoles has gained
the titte>of the cowboy professor" be-
cause Of his ability as horse-break-

For two weeks the people Of Ell Cen
'tro will have the opportunity of listen
ing to a popular and eloquent evan
lelist, Rev. B. c. Hagerman, who last
right closed series of successful
meetings at the Magnolia Avenue
Christian church in Los Angeles. The
community is fortunate in having Mr.
llagerman in series of meetings, fol
his messages are inspiring to young
and old. He is especially popular witt
the young people, with whom he has
been intimately associated for years
IN college and pastoral work. Mr.
Hagerman will arrive on the trair
from Los Angeles and will begin his
work at 7:45 this evening.

The Republican committee for Con-
gress from this district is to be Sc
lacted by a peculiar process. Under
the law the seleclion IS supposed TO
be made without convention, the
nomination to be made at the pr
Inarics, and all persons having the
privilege of having their names pre-
aentad at that time. il has been de-
cided, however, to attempt tC central
re the Republican vote on one candi-
date before the primary election, and
have the primary simply confirm the
nomination. To this end several con-
ferences have been held and at the
last Cne Imperial county was accorded
the privilege Of having fifteen dele
gates attend convention to be held
in San Diego July /.
To select these delegates a meeting
Of the county central committee was
held here Saturday afternoon, when
Dan " holland resigned at chairman
and William Sea, Jr., of CaleXico was
named as his successor.
1t was decided to name a commit
tee of seven, each of whom would

We are convinced of the essential

the terms of union, we declare our
selves earnestly In favor of the Or

IRISH REBEL CHIEF REPORTED
DEAD KNOWN IN THIS CITY
F. Sheehy-Skeffington Spoke Here
Several Months Ago

+. Sheehy Skeffington, Sim Fein
leader in Ireland, who is reported to have
been killed during the fighting about the
postoffice in Dublin, Is well known in
Philadelphia where he spoke on Novem-
ber "a, 1916. He had been imprisoned
for speaking against recruiting in Ireland
before his visit to America, but after a
hunger strike of a week had been released
He came to this country to give the
attitude of Irishmen toward the war to
the various Irish societies in America.
In Philadelphia he spoke before the
Clan-na-Gael at the Irish-American Club,
726 Spruce street.
Opposition to recruiting" said Mr.
Skeffington at this meeting, "is bound to
increase whenever conscription of Irish
men seems imminent. The young men
of Ireland are migrating to America lest
they be forced to fight with England.
I'VE claim that Ireland has no interest
in fighting for England's dominance of
the seas. Anything that smashes and
weakens England dominance Of the seas
is good for Ireland
I'VE have a supreme interest in keep
ing every Irishman at home to build up
the nation. If there is any power we
should like to see crushed in this war,
it is not Germany but England"
Mr.. Skeffington made. a tour of the
United States, speaking on the Irish prob
lem from the viewpoint of the Irish. His
ambition was to present the claims of
Ireland to independence as a small nation.
After his return to Ireland, all Irish
American newspapers were taken from
him at Liverpool, and at every station
on the way from Liverpool to Dublin
the police inspected his compartment to
make sure he had not eluded them.
While in this city, Sheehy Skeffington
was the guest of Joseph Mccarthy, presi-
dent of the Irish Volunteers of America,
at his home, 5412 Springfield avenue.

premier Asquith announced in the
House of Commons this afternoon that
nroat Rritain's total military forces now
svceed 5000, 900 men.
a motion demanding the resignation Of
augustine Birrell, Chief Secretary for Ire
iard was introduced in Parliament this
ae,arnoon but immediate consideration of
sba measure was prevented by other busi-
rssa before the House of Commons. Prem
lar Asatiith said, he hoped to give an early
onportunity for debate on the motion. that
arose from charges that Birrell had not
tal,en proper precautions to prevent the
nnhiln revolt, though fully forewarned
Tho premier said that the situation in Ire
land had greatly improved, communica-
t,on having been fully restored.
Although Sir Edward Carson, leader of
The Ulster Unionists, and John Redmond,
leader of the Irish Nationalsts have
tarnfnigpU not TO MAKE pOINlCdl capital out
"a the Irish rebellion, the uprising has
bad such powerful effect upon the public
mind that its influence will have strong
bsarinp upon deliberations in Commons
for some time
The Government finds itself with ap-
nroximately 1000 prisoners on its hands,
including four of the leaders who have
done most to incite civil war. They are
sir Roger Easement, Peter II. Pearce, the
provisional president Of the Republic OF
Ireland; James Connolly, commander-in-
chief of the revolutionary forces, and
Countess Markevicz
Demands are pouring in upon the Gov
ernnent that the sternest possible punish
rnent be dealt out to them. Some of the
Tory newspapers insist that the ring
leaders in the Irish revolt be tried for
treason and that long terms of imprlson-
ment be meted out to their armed follow
ers.
On the other hand anxiety exists In
some quarters that harsh measures would
raise to still higher pitch the feeling
that has already been reused in Ireland
by the fame of war and bloodshed.
Whatever is done 1t is likely that
martial law will be maintained in the
danger zones of Ireland until after the
principal leaders of the Sim Fein have
been tried.
In addition to the Irish situation 1t is
likely that the Government will come in
for condemnation because of the sur
render of General Townshend's army at
Rut-el-Amara. The gallantry of General
Townshends defense of Kut against over
whelming odds is recognized and is ap-
preciated. Criticism is not against him,
but against the manner in which the
Mesopotamian campaign has been con-
Quoted from the first.
