PARIS. May 21-Interest in Amer,-
can circles shifted to-day to the Irish
question by the letter Of the delegates
to President Wilson asking for an op-
portunity to lay before him the facts
learned in Ireland. The President is
on the point OF rejecting fatty the re-
quest that America ask for passports
Tor the delegates OF the Irish republic
Col. House conducted the nepotia- =
tons with Premier Lloyd George
through an intermediary and never
asked for an interview for the Irish
Americans. He denies many state
ments in letter sent to the Presi
dent.
The President and his friends evil
IDENTIFY regard the Irish question as a
nuisance. They are vexed because the
committee continues its efforts here.
yet they see no way to get rid OF them
fARls, May 2l.-Frank +. Walsh. Ed
ward F. Dunno and Michael J. Ryan.
the representatives OF Irish societies in
the United States, have made public a
letter addressed TO President Wilson ask
ing for permission to present to him
personally the matter OF safe conducts
to Paris for Edward de Valeria, Arthur
Griffith and Count Plunkett, as well as
certain facts OF grave import now in
our possession
The letter gives the history OF the
case, showing that on April II Col.
House made a request to Lloyd George
that safe conducts be given to the three
Irish leaders as representatives OF Ire
land to the Peace Conference. On the
day following Col House informed them
that Lloyd George was willing to COM
ply, but desired an interview with the
Irish American delegation before doing
So
After two tentative dates had been
set by the British Premier and the dele
gates had not been received the trio
were advised by Col. House to repeat the
request through Secretary Lansing, who
laid II before the President. to whom
an appeal for personal hearing is now
made. In closing the letter SAYS:
I'm view of existing conditions in Ire
land that cannot be denied, to foreclose
Its case by refusing a hearing to its
representatives at this time would be
disconsonant with the declared purpose
for which the war has been prosecuted
and out OF harmony with the common
principles OF democracy"
Colonel House said tonight that the
letter was in error in stating that he
had informed the delegation that Mr..
Lloyd George was willing to comply
with their request for safe conducts
for the Irish leaders, The request for
safe conducts had been made, but no
reply was made that the request would
be complied with.
Colonel House says that the request
was unofficial, except. as the delegates
stated. the President had referred them
to him.

WASHINGTON. Hfay a1.-The woman

toric Susan b. Anthony amendment to
the Constitution. went through the
House to-day with 42 votes TO spare.
Three hundred and four members
voted TO submit the proposed amend
ment to the States for ratification.
while only SO opposed it.
Sixteen months ago the same
resolution was squeezed through by
q barely sufficient vote. The tally on
January 10, 1918. was PA ayes to
l36 noes. A switch of one positive
vote to the other side would have
killed the measure, which requires a
two-thirds majority.
Inc easy passage Of the resolution
to-day was clean cut Republican
victory and the Democratic votes rs-
corded in the affirmative were not
needed to insure adoption Of the
measure by the House.
The bitter fight against suffrage was
not repeated to-day From the moment
discussion started It was evident that
only formal opposition was to he ex-
pected. From first to last the whole
legislative business occupied but little
more than three hours.
Two weak attempts to amend the reso-
luton were made and failed. Repre-
sentative Clark (Fla.), Democrat Of
Tered an amendment providing that un-
less the proposed constitutional extern
sion OF suffrage TO women was ratified
by the necessary number of State Leeis-
latures within seven years OF its adop-
ton by Congress the amendment should
be imperative. On this Mr.. Clark
failed TO get sufficient backing for a
roll call vote. When it was put be-
fore the House on viva voce vote
the laundering chorus of noes complete

the ayes.
Amendment Fails.
The other attempt to amend was made

a Democrat For the provision requit-
Ing the approval of the Legislatures Of
three-fourths of the States Mr.. Saunders

New Orleans Pfcayune: There Is q
rule of the military service which
this small war we are emerging from

cal, municipal or state:
Don't pass the buck"
The officer who was told to lead
his men to the capture or definite
objective, or to accomplish o certain

his effort, won or lost. Thereafter he
stood upon the results and by them
was judged.
So surely as he SAID his men had

had not done their part--just so
surely was he judged to be g. buck
passer,' foredoomed thereafter to
distrust and usually to failure. Soon
he vanished from the regions where
bullets flew or high deeds were open
to the doing.
It is a hard rule, but rule that

Governor Lowden appeals perhaps
more to Iowans than any other can

THE MISLED MINERS.

A former president OF the miners union &c
nounces the strike as inconsistent with the
policies of the union and crime against the
nation and the people" The miners never or
dered the strike, he declares. They never III
structed their leaders to call it. The so-called
iron-clad instructions used by President Lewis
as a pretext for issuing the strike order were
not the work of the delegates to the miners
national convention, but the work Of the very
leaders who now claim to be helpless and bound
thereby. Politics within the union, rivalry be-
tween factions and the struggle between men
in Office and men who seek to get in have
brought about the present deplorable state OF
affairs.
Before these revelations and charges were
made by a man in position to know just what
was happening, it was generally felt that the
Ichicanery of agitators had forced tie issue. 1t
was known that the miners had not voted to
strike 1t was known that their delegates to the
convention had not declared for walkout. tIhe
suggestion put forth by the union heads that
the half a million miners of the country demand
led naturalization of the mines was felt to be
Ipreposterous Neither were the miners such
fools as to stake their all the issue OF light
for five-day working week and what amounts
to five-hour day No doubt they would take
them cheerfully enough If they were granted;
but the most they wanted and all that they were
willing. to strike for was increased pay. All
these other claims were concocted by their Of
fcers, by coterie in power and determined to
| keep it by taking position more radical than
their opponents within the union could take.
| In the miners union as in the Federation OF
/ Labor the bolshevistic faction is fighting for
dominance The federation has its syndicalists
of the Foster brand and it's protagonsts OF an
archy like Margolis. The miners have their
leaders like Lewis, men of the same type, who
will hesitate at nothing in their determination
to secure their personal ends.

Kansas City Star: When one
considers the business oppor-
tunities open to the city girl and
those Of her country cousin, the
advantages seem to be all IN
favor of the former. How many
girls in the city realize this?
How many OF them appreciate
the fact that opportunity Is con-
stantly knocking at their door?
Comparatively few, we fear.
But as strange as II may seem,
It is, in nine cases QUE OF ten, the
small town or country bred girl
who Is most successful in the
city. Three reasons may be
given in explanation of this.
First, the outof-town girl has to
depend entirely on her own
efforts to live; IL she does not
keep her position ana advance
she canont eat or have roof
over her head, SO she strains
every nerve toward success. The
city bred girl usually lives at
home, and is at least sure Of a
roof over her head ana food to
eat If she Is out of job, so she
does not worry about it as much
as the country girl.
Secondly, the out-of-town girl
who has gone to the city so
proudly, hates to return home
and admit defeat.
Thirdly, the city girl at the
time she starts to go into busI-
ness is just at the age when
pleasure appeals to her most,
and theatres, dances and dinners
may mean more to her than busi-
ness. This, of course, is only
human and natural. Yet it dis
tracts her from her daily work.
The out-of-town girl does not go

COUNTRY GIRLS PROVE WINNER,

out SO much, therefore has more
time to study and work toward
advancement.
Then, too, with her 1t is a point
of pride to succeed. With her it
is "sink or SWIM" so she swims
more valiantly toward the shore
of success than perhaps she
otherwise would. And for that
reason it is seldom That she does
not reach the shore.
This may all sound unfair and
untrue to the city girl who be-
lieves in her heart that she Is as
ambitious as anyone else, but II
you examine the lives Of our
contemporary, successful women
you will discover that few of
them are the products OF big
cities.
Fannie Hurst, the writer, was
a small-town girl VINO suffered
and starved and shaved before
she attained success. Gladys
Hanson, the star. was a southern
girl; Hazel Dawn came from the
west, and so on. But they tried
their wings in the big city and
succeeded because they dared not
fail.
This all seems an argument
for tho small-town and country
girl to try her luck in the big
city. It is not. We are talking
generally. and perhaps there are
many s1nall-town girls who never
reach their goal. But we are try
ing to encourage the city girl to
make her job more than mere
bridge between schoof and matri-
mony; to make it one of the big
things in her life, ano TO worK
harder for success.
