28 IRISH AGITATORS
NOW UNDER ARREST

London, Feb. 26.--Twcnty-e eight per-
sons have been arrested in Ireland,
Henry b. Duke, chief secretary for
Ireland, told the house of commons
today. The arrests were made under
the defense of the realm act. which
empowers the police to arrest persons
who may be reasonably suspected OF
having acted or being about to act
in manner prejudicial to public safe
ty or the defense of the realm. It
was not proposed to try these men,
Or. Duke said. A competent military
authority having decided to issue the
orders under the defense of the realm
regulations prohibiting them from re-
siding in Ireland, this had been done.
John Dillon, one of the nationalist
leaders, gave notice that In conse-
quence of the unsatisfactory charac-
ter" of Mr.. Dukes statement he
would ask leave to call attention to
the matter in the house.

received here as he was entering the
doors of the capitol and was passed
from mouth to mouth through con.
gress while he was speaking. Lack
ing details, its seriousness could not
be estimated, but it was apparent cv-
erywhere that it gave weight to the
presidents words, then falling upon
a body of grave, silent legislators as
sembled before him in a sombre mo-
ment of American history, weighing
his declarations which may lead the
United States into war.
But the president made it clear that
America was asking TO exercise none
but the rights of peace; that he was
not proposing nor contemplating war
He was thinking, he said, of the right
of life itself, the rights of humanity,
without which there is no civilza-
tion'-rights deeper and more funda-
mental than merely the rights OF
Americans.
Would Avoid War.
"No course of my choosing nor of
theirs" said the president, will lead
to war. AYar can only eeIpe hy the
wilful acts and aggressions of 9th
ers"
Four weeks of unrestricted subma-
rine warfare, the president told con-
gress, has seen the destruction of AZ
least two American ships, American
commerce driven in large measure
from the seas through fear of the un-
derseas peril, and a resulting Conges
ton of Americas vital industries
growing more serious every day. The
fact that more American lives had not
been lost, he said was due to the fac
that German submarine commandor5
had exercised IAN unexpected discre
tion and restraint" rather than hc-
cause of the instructions under whiD il
they were acting TO be imp spalod,
with congress out Of session. the pres.
ident said would be "most imUru~
dent" Consequently he asked for
authority to act.
Heard in silence.
Standing at the clerks desk in thr
hall of the house Of representative,
grave, calm, speaking earnestly in tho
attitude now familiar, the presidcnt
delivered his address while congress
sat in tense, respectful silence, fully
impressed with the soberness of the
occasion. No cheers and applause
such as have burst out before. pune
tuated his sentences. Ry common
consent the members RETAINED from
demonstration. There were vigorous
mods Of approval from democrats and
republicans, who have been urging a
forward course; silence and indica-
tions of reserved thought from those
opposed
But at the conclusion of the address
when the president spoke of the fun
damental rights on which are based
the structure of family, state and
liberty and said: "I cannot imagine
a man with American principles at his
heart hesitating to defend these
things" cheers responded through the
chamber.
