Discusses Peace Conference.

All the Sim Fein leaders invited the
people to go into a peace conference
and told them that the President of the
United States would take up their case
and insist on it's being heard but it
was bad preparation to announce
that they were drilling young Ireland

that was offered to destroy the cause
of the allies.
We're they quite sure that President
Wilson would be SO very friendly to
the representatives of the Gamma
Gael? The truth was. said Mr. Dillon,
that it was the policy of the Sim
Feiners to invite the Irish people to
stake all on the hope of a German
triumph. If that policy was adopted
and Germany did not win Ireland

Hope to Quickly Fill Quotas.

In order that there may be no hitch

September 5. local exemption boards. are
anxious to have the District board inform
them of the men who have been finally
accepted for service The lists cannot
be made up. it was said today. until the
names are received back by the local
boards.
There is much detail to be arranged
in making up the lists of the names
of the men to go first. not the least of
which is the clerical work. Unless
certifications are received in a short
time. il was said today, the lists will
be thrown on the boards on such short
notice as to handicap them in making
the preparations.
Practically all of the boards have
certified to the District board more
men than their respective quotas call
for, but many of the men have made
claims on industrial grounds. others
appealed their cases. while still others
are cases of men who cannot be located.
Not until the lists come back can the
boards begin to make up their lists
covering the first 90 per cent, it was
said today.

ACCEPTS CUBA'S OFFER
Of TRAINING GROUNDS
U. S. to Establish Mobilization
Camps in Island by Invitation Of
President Menocal.

Cuba's offer to provide a mobilization
and training ground for a portion of
one of the American forces has been
accepted. The number or description
OF the forces to be sent cannot be dis
closed for military reasons
The State Department today issued
this statement:
The government of Cuba has of
fered in a most friendly spirit to the
government of the United States the
use of training grounds in that repub-
lie for the American forces.
This generous offer has been ac-
cepted by this government with great
pleasure and careful consideration has
been given to the question as to which
of the American forces would be most
benefited by training in the Island of
Cuba.
This question has now been de-
termined and American forces will
proceed to the eastern end of Cuba for
training at an early date.
Proof of cubas Cooperation.
THE action on the part of President
Menocal in making this friendly offer
is considered as a further proof of
Cuba's desire to give cordial co-opera-
ton to the United States of America
and to be of every assistance to it in
the war which both countries are now
waging for the rights of humanity
against the imperial German govern
ment.
