paid much attention to the Irish de-
mands. The subject is decidedly
embarrassing. There is a great his
torical friendship between the
French and the Celts in the British
empire. but the times have changed
many things. Personally, the aver
age Frenchman still feels cohgenial
and sympathetic toward the Celtic
elements, but since the English
have become Frances allies. it is
difficult for the French to take a
definite position regarding what
England characterizes as internal
dissension.
If foreign races within the French
territorial confines should demand
national independence French opin-
ion would resent-and rightly So
English interference. The press
here, therefore, is confident that the
French peace delegates, backed by
full public support, will take the at

that they will not enter into the
merits of the Irish case. ....*

LOAN Bill
TAKEN UP
NIGHT
S S SSION
Republican Senators in Cau-
Gus Vote Down Motion to
Force Extra Session
by FiIibuSter.
BULLETIN.

Washington, March 2.-Efforts
of democratic leaders in the SEN
ate to pass the Victory Loan
bill were temporarily blocked this
morning by Senator La Toilette of
Wisconsin, republican, who at
2:30 o'clock was in the midst of a
lengthy address. The Wisconsin,
senator, however, tlsclaimed any
attempt to filibuster against the
measure.
Senator Sherman of Illinois said
he planned to follow Senator La
Toilette with considerable re-
marks" on the bill and it was said
that Senator France of Maryland,
republican, also expected to speak.
An unofficial poll of the senate
was said to disclose only four SEN
ators in favor of a filibuster
against the loan measure.
Washington, March 1.-Despite
desires of some republican senators
to block the Victory loan" bill III
an effort to force President Wilson
to call an early extra session of
congress, both republican and demo-
cratic leaders predicted late to-
night that the measure would be
passed, possibly before the night
session of the senate ended.
Several hours after the measure
was taken up no efforts at fill
buster had been made, although re-
publican senator's in favor of OBJ
struction tactics had been left free
to determine their own actions by,
a conference of minority senators
held late in the day at the call of
Senator Lodge to discuss the adj
visibility Of holding up the bill.
Sherman Leaves in Anger.
The conference was said by some
of those attending to have been
a somewhat stormy one. and Sena-
tor Sherman of Illinois left in the
middle of it after serving notice that
because of the evident disposition
mot to call the presidents bluff"
he was disposed not to return to
Washington after this session of
congress ends. Should he not re-
turn, the republicans would have
of majority of only one in the sem
ate.
Feeling among the republicans
over the legislative situation and
reports that the president had said
that responsibility for the failure to
pass necessary legislation would be
placed on them, continued to run
high tonight. While the bill was
under debate numerous discussions
were held in cloak rooms between
senators said to favor obstruction.
Without organized opposition,
senator's advocating filibuster con-
ceded that it would be conducted
with small prospect5of success.
Opinions at Variance.
Those urging a filibuster, leaders
stated believed that a patriotic duty
would be done, by forcing an extra
session in view of certain failure of
much important legislation and con-
sidering industrial and other condi-
tions over the country. Opponents of
the filibuster declared that obstruc-
ton would be misconstrued as par
tisan, and also that failure of the
loan bill might cause serious unrest
in financial circles.
Enactment of the loan and railroad
bills, it was believed, would leave
President Wilson free to postpone
the extra session until after May or
June.
