PROCLAIM IRISH
INDEPENDENCE
Sim Fein Members of British
Parliament Hold Conven-
ton in Dublin.
ADDRESS IS APPROVED
Committee of Three Is Appointed to
Present ireland's Claims at
the Peace Conference
in Paris.

Dublin, Jan. 22.-An Irish parlia'
ment was formally constituted at q
meeting here of 20 members of the
Sim Fein society elected to the Brit
ish house of commons.
They elected Charles Burgess
whose Irish name Is Cathal Brugha
speaker. They also adopted decla
ration of independence and an address
to the free nations Of the world and
appointed a committee consisting OF
Count Plunkett, Arthur Griffiths and
Prof. Edward DeValera to present the
claims of Ireland to self-determination
to the peace conference at Paris.
Two Members in Prison.
The two last named being in British
prisons, only the venerable Count
Plunkett can proceed to Paris, and
then only provided the British govern
ment consents to give him passports
The walls of the hall were quantity
embellished with classic statues in
plaster and coats of arms. Past lord
mayors have witnessed many more ex
citing dramas, notably in recent years
than the conventions Of the Nationalist
party, when there were impassioned
speeches and hot party contests.
That the proceedings seemed tame
by contrast was due to the fact that
they were conducted in the dead Ian
guage Of the Irish tongue. This was
a tribute to sentiment, but it was
deadening to interest.
Few Understand Addresses.
Few of the 1000 auditors understood
the addresses.
Oratory was killed by the process
of reading all the speeches and even
some of the delegates had trouble in
following them on their manuscripts
The only concession to popular inter
est was the translation of the declara.
ton of independence and the address
to the free nations in English and
French and this was wearisOme pro.
cess.
1t should not be inferred there was
any lack of emotion or want of feel
ing of responsibility on the part OF
the delegates. They evidently felt
themselves men playing great parts
in a solemn sacrament.
Admission by Ticket.

dows overhead. The platform and
half the floor were fitted with tables
for officers and delegates. The re-
mainder of the floor and the circular
gallery were reserved for the public
admission being by ticket.
A large proportion of the audience
was composed of women. The mum.
Der of young priests was conspicuous
The meeting lasted only 80 minutes.

CONSIDERS -FOUR
NATIONS UNFIT
Lord Robert Cecil Explains His
Plan of Forming League
of Nations.
REFORMS ARE NEEDED
Germany, Austria, Turkey and Bull
garia Should Not Be Admitted
Until They Are Proven
Trustworthy.

| Paris, Jan. 22.-The Central powers.
Germany, Austria, Turkey and Bull.
garia, cannot be admitted to the league
of nations at present, but should be
allowed to join when the league is
satisfied they are entitled to be ranked
among trustworthy nations.
This is the opinion expressed by
Lord Robert Cecil, who has just turned
over to the printer the British plan for
the league of nations which will be
submitted to the peace congress.
Lord Robert made this statement:
"The league should be all-embracing
for all trustworthy nations, since it
is for the good of humanity" he said.
Defines Trustworthiness.
Asked for definition of trust
worthy" Lord Robert replied that in
the case of Germany one criterion
would be in the establishment of a
government free from military domi
nance. This would be a guarantee Of
trustworthiness 1t was obvious, he
pointed out, that Germany could not
be admitted until she had brought or.
der out of the present chaos and the
complexion of the new government
was seen.
/ In Austria the situation was quite
different from that in Germany and
very difficult, since Austria has been
split up by revolution, while Germany
thus far has held together, continued
Lord Robert, and it appeared probable
that number of separate states would
develop from the Austrian empire.
Here, as in the case of Germany
he said, stable and trustworthy gov
ernments must be established. But
there is no reason why various states
should not come in when they show
themselves fitted to do so, irrespec-
tive of the rest"
Bohemia Shows Promise.
In this connection he pointed oft
that Bohemia showed more signs OF
being settled than the other sections
of Austria.
AS to Turkey, it was impossible to
make prediction.

Ordered Threats of Men, Women and
Children Cut.
Paris, Jan. 21.-Evidence of the for
mer kaiser's personal responsibility for
atrocities committed by German
troops in the war, cited in the report
to which Premier Clemenceau re-
ferred when he said he had consulted
two eminent jurists on the penal re-
sponsibility of the former German en-
peror, was made public.
This evidence was contained in a
lettef William wrote to the emperor of
Austria in the early days of the war,
which is quoted in the report as fol-
lows:
My soul is torn asunder, but every
thing must be put to fire and blood.
The threats of men and women, chill
dren, the aged must be cut and not a
tree nor house left standing.
with such methods of terror, which
alone can strike so degenerate peo-
pie as the French, the war will finish
in two months, while if I use humani-
tartan methods it may prolong for
years. Despite my repugnance, have
had to choose the first system"

FIFTH WAR LOAN
DRIVE in APRIL
Secretary Glass Asserts Victory
Campaign Will Be the Last
One Launched.
TO ISSUE MORE BONDS
Government Plans to Market Further
Issues Quietly Through Banks
and Other Financial In
situations.

Washington, Jan. IL Secretary
Glass said only one more big war loan
drive is planned by the treasury de-
partment. That will be the Victory
loan, to be fioated probably the last
three weeks in April. The amount
will not be more than $4,000, 600, 900
and nnSy be $5.000,000,O 0O
II expect the Victory Liberty Loan
to be the last intensive campaign for
the sale of government bonds" said
Mr.. Glass. Reports that there would
be two more bond issues this year ag-
gregating $4,000, 100000, are entirely
without foundation not only as to
amount, but also as regard the num-
Der of campaigns"

More bonds probably will be issued
by the government even after the next
campaign, but it is planned to market
these quietly through banks and other
financial institutions, without the
usual campaign of advertising and so.

tCi hiihCo LII IIiOLIA6, uulll Tic u CdS-
ury gets more definite idea of the
volume of expenses growing out of
iGaidating of war contracts, the Allies
needs for further loans, and the de-
mands arising from continuing the pol
icy Of making loans to railroads,
financing the next wheat crop, continu-
ing ship building and other internal
obligations.
One result of Secretary Glass an
nouncement that the next intensive
loan campaign would be the last is
that Liberty Loan organizations
throughout the country will make this
a big selling point in the campaign.
Citizens will be urged to do their ut
most on the plea that it probably will
be the last opportunity to make loans
to the government for war purposes.
Planned Two More Issues.
The misapprehension regarding the
number and amount of remaining loans
may arise, treasury officials explained
over the fact that the treasury had
gregating about $12, 100000 this
fiscal year. The fiscal year began last
July 1, however, and ends next June
80 and the Fourth Liberty Loan of
nearly s7,00o,OOO,OOO already has been
fioated in that period ~
Most treasury officials believe the
terms of the Fifth, or Victory Loan,
will have to be made more attractive
than those of the past either by max
ing the interest rates above Az per
cent or by some other means.
