SOLONS ASK BRITAIN
To PACIFY IRELAND
Champ Clark Heads Request for Set
tlement of Gaelic Problem.

Speaker Champ Clark headed a list
OF 13S members of Congress who last
night cabled to David Lloyd George
premier of Great Britain, that nothing
will add more to the enthusiasm of
America in the war than a settlement
now of the Irish problem.
The cablegram reads:
You are quoted as saying that "the
settlement of the Irish question is
essential for the peace OF the world
and for a speedy victory in the war.
May we, members of the American
Congress, suggest that nothing will
add more to the enthusiasm of Amer
lea in this war than a settlement now
of the Irish problem?
we believe that all Americans WIFI
be deeply stirred and their enthusi-
astic effort enlisted il the British EN-
pire will now settle this problem in
accordance with the principles an
nounced by President Wilson in his
address to Congress, asking 1t to de-
clare war on autocracy for the world
wide safety of democracy and OF small
nationalities."

only that but the regular army and the
National Guard will be brought % to
full war strength from the first draft II
II Is deemed necessary.
The workings OF the draft plans were
made plain yesterday afternoon by an
official Of the War Department. While
the> plans have not been put into tn,

already Is in operation, and all that is
needed when Congress and the Presi-

the ages OF 10 and 3 will begin.
After the registr-.ti has been com

would be impossible to attempt medical
examination before half a million hao
been chosen by lot.
After the conscrfpts have passed sat-
isfactory medical examination their cases
will come before local boards. 1t was
explained at the War Department that
these boards will be as local as possible
in character so that those considering
the cases of men passed as ut may use
their personal knowledge in deciding
whether he should go to a training camp,
whether he might not be replaced by
another who has no family or depend
ents. and whether he might not be more
valuable as a worker than as a soldier.
Every effort will be made to bring the
regular army and the National Guard
uD to full strength through volunteers,
and II Is probable that campaign to
Induce Volunteering will be inaugurated.
Under the volunteer system men UP to
10 are eligible and many men, valuable
to the service because Of technical and
special knowledge, could be obtained un-
der the procedure despite the fact that
they would be barred under the draft
plan. which places the maximum age
at twenty-five.

PRESIDENT WILSON MAKES PER
SoNAL ADDRESS TODAY RE.
GARDlNG FUTURE POLICY.
NEARER TO TERMS
Says Replies Of the Central Powers
and Of Allied Governments Has
Brought Nearer Definite Discussion
That Will End War

Washington, Jan. %. - President
Wilson In a personal address to the
senate today laid down the question
Of whether the United States shall
depart from its traditional policy Of
isolation and take part in a world
league to preserve peace, after the
war. No such history making event
with such far-reaching possibilities
has ever before been seen in the SEN
ate chamber.
The president explained that the
time has come when the senate, which
holds the treaty making power, should
be told the status of the peace move
ment The presidents address was
given to the representatives of the for
eign powers. President Wilson first
referred to his peace" note Of De
cember Is, declaring that the central
and entente powers replies brought
us much nearer a definite discussion
of peace that shall end the present
war, much nearer a discussion Of ma.
tional concern which thereafter shall
hold the world at peace.
Asserting that it is "inconceivable
that the people of the United States
shall play no part in the arrange
ments which shall insure definite
peace, the president went on to say
they cannot in honor withhold ser
vice to which they are now about to
be challenged"
"The conditions to be attained
we're, he said. "the ending Of the pres
ent war. Peace must serve the inter.
ests of mankind. ont merely the ma
tions engaged. Peace without victory.
because peace with victory would
mean a yictors terms imposed on tho
vanquished with future unrest uncer.

right of the people Of all nations to
