@UBsTANTIATIoN OF the assertions
Of secretary Baker as TO the
- progress Of Americas participa-
ton IN the war vas given by MAJ,
Frederick Palmer. head Of the intel
ugence section Of the staff Of Gen.
Psrshing. in a statement he read be-
fore the executive committee Of the
League OF National Unity IN New
york. MAJ. Palmer obtained special
permission from secretary Baker to
make the statement
Mai Palmer began BY making a
plea for ships. he said.
The outline OF a ship Is burned on
-he heart and brain OF every officer
and man IN France"
He said that the allies were win
ming the war, and that he would Ike
10 have all pessimists In America put
70 etevedorinz for Pershing. American
preparations in France he said, were
being made 10 care for 100 divisions.
OF more than 100000 men. He gave
strong praise TO Gen Pershing, who,
he declared, had free rein, his word
being supreme over the army IN
France Nal Palmer declared that no
politics OF committee rule vas run
ming the American army in France
Second FerdUn Awaits Germans.
According TO Mai. Palmer the Amer
lean army Is being directed by mill
rary science alone, and the changes
which have been made were dictated
BY demands Of the changing nature
= modern warfare and the changes
in the plans Of all the allies. It was
his prediction that If the Germans
tried 70 break through the allied
lines IN France this spring they
would experience a second Verdun and
that the power and prestige Of Hin
oeu5urg would be dead.
1ifl Palmer said that the spirit OF
pessir1ism about the hotel Hobbies of
Washington vas not the spirit OF the
nation. nor the spirit OF the American
army In France. He assured his hear
ers that when the United States
troops went into action the people Of
the country would know all about il.
Tor 1T Is their army he said. His
statement was the first made by Maj
Palmer since he returned from France
several weeks ago.
The statement follows in full:
Must Have Ships.
The message which our army
sends home from France is as distinct
as black funnel against the skyline.
u Is the same plea that every army
overseas in all history has made
pea for transport The outline of a
snip Is burned on the heart and brain

IRELAND LOSES
FIGHT FOR LIFE
Archbishop of St Paul Diocese
Dies After Long Illness
Was 50 Years Old.

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 25.-Arch-
bishop John Ireland of the st. Paul
diocese of the Roman Catholic
church died at 3:55- O'Clock today
after a long illness of heart disease
and stomach trouble. He was 81
years old.
Archbishop Ireland recently cele-
brated his 80th birthday. Shortly
afterwards he suffered a second re
lapse within six months and his
condition soon became grave.
The archbishop was in frail
health for a year Last winter he
went to Florida When he returned
early in the spring, he suffered a
breakdown and for several days was
at the point of death. After his
physician had practically abandon
cd hope for his recovery he grew
better and almost Immediately after
he was able to leave his bed, he
celebrated solemn high mass at the
cathedral.
Until last fall. Archbishop Ire
land took a prominent part in pa
triotic activities and his physicians
at that time attributed his break
down to OverwOrk.
Death came quietly with a score
of prominent Catholic clergymen at
the bedside For three days Arch
bishop Ireland's physicians kept
their patient alive by the use OF OK
ygen. Late last night the final re
lapse came Wholly unconscious
his pulse grew weaker and weaker
In the darkened room where priests
and nuns softly chanted prayers for
the dying, the end came without a
perceptible sign The archbishop's
sister, who is Mother Superior Ser
aphine. Sister Rose, Father Thomas
A. WEIGH, the archbishop's secre-
tary, Vicar General J. c. Byrne and
Bishop Joseph Busch of St Cloud,
were kneeling about the bed. The
mother superior had been in al
most constant attendance for more
than seventy-tWO hours.
Despite his years and his weak
ened condition, the physical resist
ance of the aged clergyman amazed
his physicians. Last April after
he returned from Florida where he
spent the winter he became grave
ly ill., He rallied, however. but
continued in frail health until about
two weeks ago when he gradually
began to grow weaker.
