AMERICANS IN
DUBLIN TO AID
ERIN, CHEERED
Visit of u. S. Mission to
Ireland Causes Stir in
England.

Dublin, Monday, May 5.-(By the
Associated Press. )-Michael J. Ryan
of Philadelphia, and former Gov
ernor Edward F. Dunno, of Illinois,
Representatives of the Irish So
cieties in America, arrived here to-
night from Belfast. They were met
at the station by enormous crowus,
which formed procession and es-
corted the Americans through the
principal streets. Notwithstanding
the military prescription of meet
ings and professions there was no
interference with the demonstra-
ton. Upon arrival at the hotter the
Americans addressed the crowd on
the problem of the war and of the
principle of self determination.
They declared the Irish were en-
titled to those rights as were Lne
Jugo-Slavs.
Ar0uses Interest.
London, May 6.-The visit of rep
resentatives of American-Irish so
cieties to Ireland is creating great
interest in Sim Fein circles there
and equal Indignation in Uniontst
quarters in Ireland and England.
Among the reports in circulation is
one that passports from Paris to
Ireland were granted these men at
the request of President Wilson
There also were reports that Pre-
mier Lloyd George promised to re-
ceive the delegates of the American
Irish societies and advised them TO
visit Belfast. This is regarded as
evidence that Mr.. Lloyd George
does not oppose the proposal for the
creation of an Irish republic.
There is considerable mystery
about the whole affair and it is un-
known whether Premier Lloyd
George has been in communication
with the visitors at all. There is one
report that he promised to receive
them but has cancelled his engage
ment for the interview.
Questions Get EVasiVe Reply.
A question was addressed to the
government in the house of COM
mons on Monday with a view to es-
tablishing whether the ENJOYS are
accredited to the American gov
ernment and also to establish their
the premier had intended to receive
them. The questions were met evas-
lively by the home secretary who
promised to make inquiries and
said that this would occupy a week.
While, according 10 some dis
patches from Ireland, the Sim Fein-
ees are greatly encouraged and be-
lieve that the creation of an Irish
republic is within sight, the Union
list press here is angrily calling for
an explanation from Premier Lloyd
George and criticizing President
Wilson's alleged interference in
British domestic affairs.
Press is Indignant.
eff it is true that Mr.. Wilson is
behind this intrigue against the
union of the United Kingdom-aud
after the presidents behavior to-
ward Italy anything is credible-the
American ambassador" says the
post, ought to be told that the
United Kingdom does not tolerate
interference in its domestic affairs.
They are our business and the
business of nobody else"
The Graphic says: 'If any of the
states of America we're again to de-
mand the right to secede from the
union, it is certain the American
people would be bitterly indignant
if such a demonstration received
any kind of official encouragement
from Great Britain. We apply the
same standard of judgment to
American interference in our af-
fairs"

In Jerseyville it is said that Doc
tor Reddish was not known to have
any income. Although known as
Doctor" Reddish, he did not prac-
tice because there was some irregu-
larity about his graduation from a
medical school. 1t is said that he
practiced at one time in the south
west, where the law governing the
licensing of doctors is not SO rigid
as it is in Illinois. He has been
married, but his former wife. Bos-

TO SIGN PEACE
WILL Be MET BY SHUTTING
GERMANY OFF FROM WORLD
Enemy Delegates to be
Given Pact Tomorrow;
Farley Over by June.

Paris, May 6.-The complete
economic isolation Of Germany
is being considered by the
council Of foreign ministers Of
the peace conference as
measure to be adopted In the
event that Germany refuses TO
sign the peace treaty.
The plan for the measure
was submitted to the ministers
by the supreme economic c0un-
Gil.
1t was officially announced last
night that the preliminaries of tho
peace treaty will be communicated
to the allied delegates this after
noon and to German plenipoten-
tiaries Wednesday afternoon. Thl9
announcement agrees with unofii-
cial reports of the intentions or
the peace conference.
Publish Treaty Thursday.
It developed this afternoon that
changes were still being made in
the peace treaty and that the
changing processes probably
would be continued up to the last
possible moment II is understood
that the alterations are largely
those of phraseology. The plans
for making the treaty public are
still vague. Seemingly the only
plan perfected with regard to pub
licity is a decision to give out a
I0,OO0-word , digest of the treaty
for publication on Thursday morn
ing.
(By the Associated Press.)
Preparations have virtually been
completed for the presentation OF
the terms of peace to the German
delegates at Versailles at 3:15
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon.
Today is expected to witness the
completion Of the draft OF the
peace treaty, a digest of which will
be read at the plenary session OF
the peace conference this after
noon, primarily for the purpose OF
informing the delegates OF the mi
nor powers as to the details OF
the document the Germans will be
asked to sign.
With Premier Orlando and
Prime Minister Sonnino of Italy
on their way back to Paris from
Rome, which they left Monday
night, it seems probable that they
will be present at the historic
meeting in Versailles on Wednes-
day.
Expect Peace by June.
1t seems now to be quite possi-
BILE that the peace treaty with
Germany will be disposed of be-
fore June l, a member Of the
American delegation said today
after a day of pronounced activity
on the part of the delegates and
numerous important developments
in the work preparatory to pre-
senting the treaty to the German
delegates.
Wilson Wins Publicity Fight.
President Wilson was prompted
to go TO Versailles, it appears,
chiefly because during the confer
ence of the council of three in the
morning Premiers Lloyd George
and Clemencau held that the news
papermen could not be admitted TO
the session with the Germans on
Wednesday because of lack o.
space. President Wilson was not
convinced that this was the case
and he insisted upon going to YER
sailles with the two premiers. II
was after their visit that the an
nouncement was made that the
American and British journalists
had won their fight for represen-
tation and that a total of as jour
nalists from the various nations
would be permitted TO attend the
ceremony.

NEW MAPS URGENTLY NEEDED
Assertion That Only About Forty Per
Cent Of the Country Has Been
Accurately Marked.

II will astonish most people to learn
that only about 40 per cent Of the
100000 square miles Of the United
States have been accurately mapped,
and that much Of that will have to be
gone over again because Of the rough
methods originally used and because
of Typographical change since 1t was
done.
The authority for these statements
is DR.. e. Lester Jones Of the United
States coast and geodetic survey, says
the New York World.
That topography may change much
is illustrated by the fact that Fire
Island entrance, Long Island, N. T.,
has changed its position four miles in
so years.
In an article on photography in war
time L. P. Clerc of Paris suggests that
Typographical maps of states or ever
of whole countries can be prepared
from photographs taken from airpsanes
far more simply and accurately than
by surveying.
DR.. Jones points out the limitations
of airplane photography; this can
scarcely yet help y measuring qleva'
lions, for example, but ne says that in
testing the correctness Of present day
maps the airplane could be Of great
value, as If would. be quicker to send
ii through the air taking photographs
of the ground than It would be to
resurvey such vast areas.

DEATH RATE DR0PS
WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES

Lives Of thousands OF Armenian
children already have been saved by
the Near East Relief taking oyer the
Armenian orphanages, according 10 de-
tailed reports, which have just reached
the headquarters of that organization.
These institutions had been run by the
Armenians SINCE the beginning Of the
war to are for the children whose
parents had been murdered by the
Turks. Because of lack Of food,
clothing and medicine, the death rate
among the children in these lnstltu-
tons averaged as high as twenty or,
thirty a day in some cases.
When Armenian funds became in-'
adequate the Near East Relief took
charge of the orphanage. Since that
time the death rate has been greatly
reduced. Given good food and care
the children are quickly returning to
normal physical and mental condition.
1t is estimated by persons who have
made a survey Of Armenia that 10000
children will die during the next year
unless they are given food and care.
Near East Relief is the only organi-
zation now operating In Western Asia

these Christian children.

consideration Is the interior arrange
ment of the barn. Equipment that
will make the work of caring for the
animals easy to perform and will keep
the cows and horses healthy and capa-
pie Of doing their best work Is a prime
essential.
A medlum-sized farm, such as Is
found In the central West and other
sections of the country. does not re-
Quire a very large barn, unless the
farmer ~speclalizes in dairy products.
But every farmer, If he Is to conduct
his farm along the lines that yield
him the greatest profit, has a fair.
sized herd of cOws-a dozen, or more.
If these animals are to be kept at their
most productive stage they must have
a comfortable habitation in the winter
time.

Of a great majority Of farmers Is

Ask Any DoughboyWh
Was "Over There

and he will tell you that American railroads are
the best in the world.
He saw the foreign roads - in England and
France, the best in Europe and in other Con-
tinental countries and, he knows.
The part railroads have played in the develop
ment Of the United States beyond measure.
American railroads have achieved high stand
ards of public service by far-sighted and courage
Gus investment of capital, and by the constant
striving of managers and men for rewards for work
well done.
We have the best railroads in the world we
must continue to have the best.
But they must grow.
To the $50, 600, 600, 900 now invested in our
railroads, there will have to be added in the next
few years, to keep pace with the nations business,
billions more for additional tracks, stations and
terminals, cars and engines, electric power houses
and trains, automatic signals, safety devices, the
elimination of grade crossings = and for recon-
struction and engineering economies that will re-
duce,the cost of transportation.
To attract to the railroads in the future the in
vestment funds of many thrifty citizens, the direct
ing genius of the most capable builders and man
ayers, and the skill and loyalty of the best work
men = in competition with other industries bid
ding for capital, managers and men the railroad
industry must hold out fair rewards to capital, to
managers and to the men.
American railroads will continue to set world
standards and adequately serve the Nations needs
if they continue to be built and operated on the
American principle of rewards for work well done.

As this barn is laid out in the floor

animals healthy and productive. While
Il is not shown In this plan, every
farmer who has a water.pressure sys-
tenn extends 1t into his barn, placing
pipes so that they carry fresh, running
water to each stall. From the lndivid-
ual drinking cups at each manger the
animals have a constant supply Of
water. 1t has been shown that such
equipment increases milk production
more than 10 per cent.
Every product of the farm and the
live stock that every farm has on it
are too valuable nowadays not to be
housed In weather-tight and healthful
buildings. Farm products are bring
ing high prices, not that they are out
of line with the increased cost Of pro-

/ the farmer cannot afford to waste
them. The right kind Of a house
means an increased income, as the
damage done by weather and rats and
other animals is considerable unless
the barn and granary are so construct

The cost of the barn shown here will
