MAKE IRELAND
HER OWN BOSS
Resolution for Self-Deter-

/ the resolution now pending before
the House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee which would carry a request
from Congress to the United States
peace delegates 20 urge upon the
Peace Conference action that will
insure for ireland self-determins-
tion in it's form Of government.
IL is generally believed the House
committee shortly after the holi-
days will report the resolution to
the House with the recommendation
that IL be passed. Many Represen-
tauves not members OF the commit
tee, are in accord with the principle
of the proposal and are working
hard in its support IL will have
numerous advocates when Il comes
up on the floor.
/ Strong denials OF recent reports that
/ ireland was being infiamed by BOl-
shevik agitators from America win be
nlsde on the ground that the rigid
/ paESport regulations Of the United
States and Great Britain make such
: condition Impossible. Leaders OF
3 the Irish movement in Congress say
Z reliable information reaching them in

Germans and Austrians Orig inally Meant Only to Give Armies Chance to Rest but People Intervened

LONDON, Oct. 3O.-"If the mo ment comes when the interests of Germany demand it, I should ab- dicate without hesitation; but the moment does not seem to have come"
 Emperor William Is quoted as having said this in an address to a number of members of the Ger man reichstag, according to dis patch to the Exchange Telegraph from Amsterdam, quoting advices from Berlin.
 The emperor said the people must not think that he had de- cided to remain on the throne at all costs.
 The dispatch adds that it is generally believed in Berlin that if the emperor abdicates. it will be in favor of Prince William, the eldest son of the German crown prince.
