PRESIDENT WILSON'S VIEW
ISURGED FOR IRELAND
John Dillon Moves to Settle Issue
by INSTRUMENTATION Of
Commons Rejects


LONDON. Tuesday. November g.
After a discussion lasting all day the
house Of commons today rejected. BY
a vote Of 1876 to LIE. q motion made
by John Dillon. chairman Of the ma
tionalist party. that the Irish question
should be settled without delay on
President Wilson'S principle Of SELF
determination.
AS first proposed the notice asked
that Great Britain should not enter
the peace conference until the Irish
question was settled. This met with
vigorous opposition from Edward
Short, chief secretary for Ireland,
and Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of
the exchequer, who argued that the
war had raised questions far trans
cending home rule. Mr.. Dillon then
consented to amend his motion.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY AT
THE FRONT, November 5.-The wom-
an recently captured wearing a Ger
man uniform is said to be compare
lively young. She surrendered almost
at the first rush.
Though reports of women fighting
in the ranks of the German army
have been persistent since the fight
ing at Chateau Thierry in June, SOL
diers, and occasionally officers, as
serting that they had seen their
bodies on the field, this is the first
woman prisoner taken. She was
quickly removed from the front and
brought to corps headquarters to
be questioned.

Cannot Regain Their Home.

A plea for the right Of access to
the owners property is thus voiced:
To the Editor Of The Star:
One phase, II no other, Of the Sauls-
bury law should be repealed, and that
Is the one which denies one the pos
session Of and the right to live in
his own house because he is not in
the employ Of the government. We
all love our country, but are not all
fortunate in being government en-
ployes.
We have not lived in the District
Of Columbia for a number Of years,
and now that we have decided to
return home we are denied the right.
Where can we go, as We are renting
here and can't rent there because of
conditions? Our home is rented and
the subletting Of rooms by present
tenants is netting them big private
income. This phase of the law is
despotic and should be repealed.

THE CUNNlNS RESOLUTION.

About the most asinine thing that
Senator Cummins of Iowa, ever pro-
posed, and that is saying a great
deal, as he is given to proposing
asinine things, is his resolution to
send body Of senators to the peace
conference to represent America.
The insinuation Of course is that
the president and the men he has
chosen are not competent to sit al
the peace table. The old republican
argument that Wilson was not COM
petent to make war disappeared long
ago. What happened at Chateau
Thierry, the Ourcq, St. Mihiei and
at Sedan has completely demolished
that theory.
We find Senator sherman, repub-
liCan senator from Illinois heartily
endorsing the Cummins idea. We
find nearly all Of the republican
gang who under the leadership of
Roosevelt, Lodge, PenTOse ana
Smoot. viii control the next con-
gress endorsing the Cummins plan.
Also that arch enemy Of Woodrow
Wilson, the democratic Senator
Reed of Missouri
What may happen to America
during the days of reconstruction
with that gang of incompetents
passing the legislation of the coun
try, may well make the ordinary
American citizen remble.-Bloom

HOW TO FIGHT
SPANISH INFLUENZA
BY DIR. l.. ". BOWERS.

Avoid crowds, coughs and towards,
but fear neither germs nor Germans
Keep the system in good order, take
plenty of exercise in the fresh air and
practice cleanliness. Remember clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels
are protecting armour against disease.
To keep the liver and bowels regular
and to carry away the poisons within,
it is best to take a vegetable pill every
other day, made up OF May-apple, aloes,
jalap, and sugar coated, to be had at
most drug stores, known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. II there is sudden
onset Of what appears like hard cold,
one should go to bed, wrap warm, take
hot mustard foot-bath and drink copi-
ously Of hot lemonade. Ifpain develops
in head or back, ask the druggist for
Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These will
flush the bladder and kidneys and carry
of poisonous germs. To control the
pains and aches take one Anuric tablet
every two hours, with frequent drinks of
lemonade. The pneumonia appears in
a most treachozous way, when the in1u-
e5lza victim is apparently recovering and
anxious to leave his bed. In recovering
from bad attack Of Influenza or pneu-
nonia the eyzsc,a should be built up

MAKING THE WORLD SAFE FOR
DEMOCRACY.

The greatest peace commission
America ever had is sailing to Eu-
rope. At its head is that incom-
parable statesman, Woodrow Will
son, the man whom history will
designate as the greatest man of his
time Other members of the COM
mission are Col. E. NJ House, recog-
nized as one of the ablest diplomats
of the world, Henry White, former
ambassador to France during the
Mckinley and Roosevelt administra-
tions, Secretary of State Robert
Lansing, one of the worlds leading
international lawyers, and General
Bliss, the ranking general of the
American army who has represent
ed this country during the war at
the inter-allied general headquar-
tiers at Versailles.
To these five men and the army
of others who will be with them to
advise with them, America may well
rest assured that the hardshiDs and
bloodshed of the boys who have SO
gloriously followed the flag in
Flanders and France will not have
been in vain. :
It was under this leadership that
America and the allies won the war.
It is. under this leadership that the
world will indeed at the peace table
be made safe for democracy

SOLDIERS AND POLITICS,

You hear quite a bit of talk these
days, of what the soldiers will do in
politics, when they get home. In
the recent election in Iowa, the
democrats in the Second, Third and
Sixth Iowa districts, had soldier can
didates, and the biggest majorities
the republicans candidates ever had
they got this year in the election:
Maybe, when the boys get home and
they aspire for office they may walk
away with the plums, in easy fash
ion. But the civil war veterans in
Iowa never Jared so well in that re-
spect. If we are correct in our mem
DRY no veteran of the Gigs strug-
gle ever wore the senatorial toga
from this state in the congress Of
the United States. A number of the
men of that struggle were elected
from the various districts of Iowa
and they made wonderful records
for themselves in their districts. But
the new soldier bunch may change
that when they get home and as
pire for political preferment.-Har-
din County Ledger.

NO FOOD FOR GERMANY

Those who have been apprehens-
i've that Germany and Germans were
to be given food may quiet their
fears. 1t appears that Germany can
get along fairly we'll without char
ity. She has much food, SO reports
say and with the opening or the
markets can buy more.
There are no Red Cross or food
administration plans for work in
Germany. The food commission of
the inter-allied powers assures us
that the allied nations will be look
ed after first. Following then in
order will come neuttrals. Last of
all--if the need become necessary
help may be offered enemy nations
In short it will be friends first,
neighbors next and last Of all enc
