Paris, June (By the Associated

question.
Numerous and specific charges of atroc.
tiles committed in Irish jails are con
tanned in the document. Charges are
made that hundreds of men and women
were put in prison without any specific
accusation being made against them.

men sdied as result of atrocities in
prisons and that many prisoners are con-
fined in cells of inadequate size and
given insufficient and unwholesome food.
The report also alleges that punitive
measures of the authorities included
douches with water, in which the pris-
oners we're obliged to remain all night
in unheated cells. bringing on pneumo-
mia. Solitary confinement and withhold
ing of rations also is charged. It is
stated further that the heads Of hun
dreds of families were sent to jail or

children without means of support and
to become objects of charity.

Ryan and Dunno visited Ireland with
assurance from Premier Lloyd George
that they would be given full freedom to
investigate.

The CCVendnter Letters
Written by William Howard Taft George W. Wickersham A.
Lawrence Lowell Henry w Taft to Make Clear
Articles of League Covenant


How can they be restrained2 NO
other method has been or can De
suggested but by an agreement such
as is embodied in the league. Why
should the United States no enter
the agreement? 1t is objected that
by doing so this nation is delegat'
ing to foreign body in which 1t
has only one representative the lin
iting of its power to defend itself
from foreign aggression and posi-.
Bile destruction. 1t is said that it
leaves us naked to our enemies"
The answer to the objections Is
full and complete. First, the council
in formulating the plan and fixing
limits must act unanimously. There
fore, the plan can not be adopted by
the council without the consent OF
the American representative in thai
body. This is a guaranty that the
limits to be fixed would be not un-
fair or unreasonable so far as We
are concerned.
Secondly, after the plan has been
formulated and the limits fixed
each government must accept it be.
fore it is adopted Therefore, the
government of the United States
through its constitutional agencies,
the treaty-making power and in this
case the congress as well, will con
sent and fix the limits of armament
if they may deem it wise. Surely
this protects us against the arbitra-
ry or unfair fixing of limit by any
body but ourselves. Are we chill
dren who cannot protect our own in
terests in making such an agree
ment?

GOING IT TOO HARD?

Overwork, worry, oyereating and
lack of exercise and sleep are re-
sponsible for much kidney trouble.
If your back aches and the kidneys
seem weak, rest up and use Doan's
Kidney Pills.
T. r. Stoner, foreman, blacksmith,
419 Minnesota Ave-, Chickasha, says:
Heavy work in blacksmith shop
put my kidneys in a poor state. l
suffered severely from pains across
my kidneys and exertion made the
pains even worse. l learned Of
Doan's Kidney Pills and started to
use them. 1t didn't take long be-
fore the action of my kidneys was
corrected. Doans Kidney Pills have

specific obligation as to minimum
armament.


Not Unconstitutional.
But 1t is said that it is unconsti-
tutional for our treaty making power
to agree to a limit of armament. The
supreme court in many cases has de
cided that the treaty-making power
conferred in the constitution is
very broad one, and that 1t includes
the making OF contracts with other
nations on any subject matter usual
ly within the scope of treatymaking
between nations, and that there are
no limitations on 1t except that a
treaty can not change our form Of
government or cede land of one of
our states without its consent. Now
the limitation of armament has been
very frequent matter dealt with in
treaties. Indeed, every one recog-
nizes that it is a most appropriate
subject in this very treaty of which
the league is a part in respect to the
fixing of the armament of Germany
More than this, we have treaty
with Great Britain for 100 years in
which we agreed to limit our arma-
ment. and we have religiously kept 1t
i'm 1877 we mutually agreed with
Great Britain not to put naval ar
mament on the Great Lakes between
us and Canada, and that treaty is still
in force. 1t would be difficult to i'm
agine more convincing precedent
than this.
In the Clayton-Bulwer treaty OF
1850, concerning the construction OF
canal in Central America from one
ocean to the other, we mutually sti-
pulated not to fortify the canal when
built. Our power to limit armament
in treaty is thus indisputable in
view of precedent and judicial au-
thority Our duty by joining with the
family of civilized nations in such an
agreement, to put a stop to the awful
race in ornaments, il unrestrained'
sure to involve the world again in
all its evils, is equally clear.

Reciprocal Concessions.

Under Article VIII we covenant to
keep within the limits we agree to
for ten years, when the whole plan is
subject to meantime, should
conditions change, the council has
power to increase the limit for any
government needing It, More than
this, we can at any time withdraw
from all the obligations of the league
inculduing this one, on two years
notice. -
1t is to be noted that we agree to
limit our armament in consideration
of the fact that every other league
member makes similar promise as
to its armament Our reduction and
limit are to be proportionate to those
of other members. Their reduction
the necessity for our defense as does
the compulsory reduction of the ar
maments of our enemies in this war.
We are not thus left naked to our
enemies" whether of this war or
any future war, in any other way
than that they are equally naked"
to us.
Plea for Consistency.
The necessity for reduction of ar
mament to avoid danger of war has
long been recognized and acquiesced
in by all nations except Germany.
We were among the most earnest in
seeking limit or reduction of arma-
ment at the Hague conferences but
Germany peremptorily refused. Are
we now to change our attitude on
this crucial question? Did we think
that in urging it at the Hague we
were to make ourselves naked to
our enemies" by entering such an
agreement? Were we only hypocrites
when we pressed it upon the con
feres at the Hague?
If the great continental powers of
Europe an dAsia, where the danger
of war is much more probable than
here, can afford to limit their arma-
so. when the Atlantic separates us
ments by convention, can we not do
from Europe, and the Pacific from
Asia?
More than this, is there not hui
morous phase of this objection when
we consider the consistent course of
its history? In spite of the urging of
Washington and many of his success
sors, we never have had an adequate
armament until after war has come.
Not even for mere police duty have
we had a sufficient regular army in
time Of peace. From soon after the
civil war until the Spanish war. a
period of thirty years, with Indian
campaigns frequently recurring, for
people increasing from fifty to ninety
millions, we had only 25,OOO men in
our regular army-and since the
Spanish war, we have never been
able to increase that army beyond
one hundred thousand; while in all
details of proper preparatory equip
ment we were wanting.
We can be sure, therefore. that the
council viii recommend a limit of ar
mament for us that congress will
never desire to exceed and will prob
ably fall short of in actual practice.
We should be justified in far more
concern il the league imposed on us

aim to give the members of each

getting all the men in the play. The
