enough.
We can stop ratification of the
league of nations in congress If the
Irish question is not settled, the Irish
delegate declared. 1t is my opinion
that there will be no league of ma

pace in Europe because Ireland will
fight and the world knows that Ire
land can fight.
We believe we are powerful enough,
in America to make President Wilson
enforce the principles outlined in his
peace plan concerning the rights of
nationl to dispose of themselves. We
have pleaded and spoken gently to
him long enough. The time has come

Capt. F. e. Guest Introduces
Bill In Commons to Provide
Army of Occupation.
SEEKS TO OHAVE
100000 TROOPS
Bill Brings Up Bitter Debate
Between Labor Leaders and
Conscription Backers.

London. Thursday, March 6.-Cap-
tain F. E. Guest introduced a bill in
the house Of commons which proposes
compulsory service for the British
army of occupation.
This army, according to the bill
would be composed of 100000 men
and the enlistm ent period would ex-
pire on April 80, 1920. Alexander
Shaw, laborite, moved the rejection OF
the measure because the labor party
is opposed to a continuance Of con-
scription.
oil. Winston Spencer Churchill, de-
Tending the bill, argued that the gov
ernment in providing for an army to
insure peace was pursuing a path to-
ward universal voluntary service"
"Our delegates to the peace con-
ference are fighting for the complete
abolition of conscription in Europe"
he said. "a formal demand has been
made that Germany be permitted to
have only a small voluntary army on
a long service basis, but it. is un-
certain whether this point will be car
ried. Our representatives stand al
most alone in this matter and it is
not at all impossible that Japan,
France and Italy and even the Unit
ed States( will be nations into whose
military systems. some element Of
compulsory service may enter"
He concluded by declaring Premier
Clemenceau had said: ''if we do not
take care when the British and Amer
lean armies have disappeared we
shall be faced again by the same dan
ger" TIL bill passed second reading
Ny a vote of 304 to II.

BANK NORMAL
AFTER run ON
INSTITUTION
Long Before Closing Hours Sol
vency of American National
Is Accepted by Public.

Normal conditions prevailed yester-
day at the American National bank
long before the usual hour and that
full confidence is felt in the solvency
of the institution, is the generally pre-
vailent expression.
For half an hour after opening yes
terday morning the lobby of the bank
was fairly filled with a few addition
al small depositors who were with
drawing their holdings and a number
of others who had withdrawn during
the furry Of Thursday, re-deposit-
ing.
An official of the bank said yester-
day afternoon: after the run was
over, the banks cash resources were
over $1,0o0,o00 and it has not called
on it's eastern correspondents for a
penny" He added: Everything is
normal now. The bank values very
highly its good name and desires to
express sincere thanks to those who
helped to maintain it. The other
banks of the city and many public
spirited citizens voluntarily gave their
encouragement and material help"
Scores of depositors made no effort
in the run on the bank, to withdraw
their holdings, realizing from the be-
ginning that the rumors We're with
out foundation and maintaining conf
dence that the bank would be able to
cope with the emergency.
Reserve Banker Here.
L. c. Addison, deputy governor of
the Federal Reserve Bank, of Atlanta
arrived in the city yesterday to be
present in case of any further emer-
gency that might occur. He stated:
Il am here for the purpose Of insuring
proper cooperation on part of the
Federal Reserve Bank and to assure
the officers of the American National
Bank that the federal reserve system
can be counted upon othe limit
Clues that IT is believed will lead
to the arrest today of at least two
parties responsible for the starting
and spreading of the rumors that
caused the run on the bank, are be-
ing followed out persistentiy by the
authorities. Prosecutions of any
parties found guilty win proceed un-
der the drastic state law.
