I5O,OOOR REFUGEES
 ARE AT T0MSK

Tomsk, Siberia, April 30-(Corres- pondence of The Associated Press)- The refugees at Tomsk, the great uni versity center of Siberia, who are mostly from European Russia. are es- timated to number 150.00o.
 Into this district of hardship and suffering the American Red Cross has come energetically and successfully. When four American girls reached Tomsk and organized Red Cross work here, typhus fever was spreading rapidly and all of the places where the refugees maHed were points Of infection and dissemination. It was useless to distribute clothing or att tempt feeding unless means were first devised to stop the spread of the deadly epidemic.
 The Red Cross now has taken over IS barracks into which the refugees have herded, and each of these bar racks will be cleaned and disinfected in turn, their inhabitants meanwhile being housed at clearing station This station is provided with baths and disinfecting apparatus for clothes and has dispensary and simple hos pital facilities.
 Under the direction of the Red Cross unit, there has been established a sewing room where refugee women are given employment. The city gave rent free large well lighted and well warmed room and a number of sew ing machines, American made. The Red Cross has accepted the offer Of the Tomsk University medical school to turn over it's clinical hospital. American doctors will come in later.
 All the Red Cross work focuses on providing immediate relief to meet the emergency until the refugees can become self-supporting. Employment is difficult to obtain. However, plans are being developed to provide em- ployment for the women and get the children to school. It is expected that this spring a large proportion of the idle men can find work either on the farms or on the Trans-Siberian rail- road. Tomsk has a number of fac tories, but owing to the breakdown in railway transportation, many are closed because they cannot get ma terials with which to operate.

IRELAND'S CLAIM. NOTSENTIMENTAL

Limerick, Ireland, May 3o-(Cor- respondence of The Associated Press) The Irishman's claim to political independence is not wholly sentI- mental, according to Alphonsus O'Mara, Mayor of Limerick and one of its leading manufacturers. There is, he says, a much more practical side to the question, the desire for economic independence and the op- portunity for industrial advancement which the Irishman feels he can never attain until he is permitted to make his own laws and deal authoritatively with his own problems.
 Material advantages have come out of every movement of the Irish for freedom. but the main grievance remains" said MT. O'Mara. The one point is we are heavily overtaxed. This year England Is making a profit of twenty millions out of us. That is she is taxing us thirty-five millions and giving us a. government which costs her no more than fifteen mil lions. These figures are not ours but hers. We have Eng1and's word for it.
 Ireland has improved its position in the past years, but we have not advanced industrial1y. We lack capital and we lack confidence be- cause England and England's states men have told us that we are not fit to govern ourselves, that we lack those essentials which make for self government of the mass and there fore of the individual. Our farming population. absorbing this sentiment through oft reiteration, have with held their money when 1t was needed by Irish enterprise. They have de- posted it in banks, vast sums of it, and the money has been loaned to Englishmen for the development of English industry.
 Limerick some 75 years ago had a prosperous mercantile marine. Now the Shannon bears not on its bosom a single ship that can call Limerick its home port.
 Also we had a, fine textile indus try, with more textile workers in Ire land than there were then in Eng land. But that has gone the way of the ships.
 We have here the finest river in the world for shipbuilding. We could line the shores of the Shannon with busy shipyards and workshops. But the people who would take the initiative have not the money, and because we are told we are not capa- ble of self-government, the people who have the money will not lend it to those who could use it.
 The world is passing through an industrial crisis. Every nation America, England, France and even Germany, is making preparations for world trade. But Ireland is not al- lowed to take any industrial step that would help her people here at home. Why, the British government even refused me a passport when I wanted to go to America to place the natural advantages of Limerick before your investors and shipowners So here we are, high and dry, with the ocean of prosperity all around us.
 We could only take the steps nee essary to develop this country if we were assured Ireland would be all lowed to make it's own laws and pro- vide it's own government for in nc other way could we give American investors any guarantee that Englant would not tax their investments ou of existence.
 IT don't have . great deal of faitf l h Yhat the rest ox the world is Eo -

ing to do for us unless we do some thing for ourselves. We have stated our principles, and at the present mo ment a government of the people of Irela-d is in office in Dublin. Of course this government can't have any real power until England with
 draws her army of occupation and that can only be brought about by pressure from outside of Ireland"
