rebellion in any foreign country nor
would it limit the powers of this coun-
try to recognize the Independence OF

at Versailles because it did not come
within the jurisdiction of the CONFER
ence. The presidents statement was
in reply to a series Of questions sent
him by San Francisco labor counch.
He said he would reply in a few days

ing Shantung and Britain's votes in the
league assembly.

Ireland's position, Mr.. Wilson said ms
position was expressed in Article H.,
under which any member nation can
call up the case of any question>whlch
threatens to disturb international
peace.

First-.Under the covenant does the
nation obligate itself to assist any ma
ton in putting down rebellion"
Answer-"It does not"
Second-"Under the covenant can
this nation recognize government

the United States in a matter of this
kind is in no way affected by the
league of nations"
Third-"Under the covenant are
those subject nations or peoples that
are mentioned in the treaty entitled 10
the right of lf-determinat ton, or does
the league accord such a privilege to
other peopleS?
Answer-'1t was not possible for the
peace conference to act with regard TO
territories except those which had be-
longed to the defeated empires. but III
the league it has set up for the first
time a forum before which all claims
which are likely to disturb the peace
of the world can be brought.I
Fourth-"Why was the case Of Ire
land not heard at the peace conference,
and what is your position on the sub
ject of self determination for Teland?'
Answer-"The case Of Ireland was
not heard at Paris because the confer

tion Of this sort which did not affect
territories which belonged to the de-
feated powers. My position on 1relano
is expressed in Article H., in which l
say was particularly interested, be-
cause it seemed necessary that such
forum should be created to which any
matter could be brought

: Damage Millions.
BODIES CONSTANTLY
WASHING ASHORE
Seventeen Additional Dead Found at
Corpus Christi Bringing Total Known
in That City to Sixty Waters
Giving Up Many Bodies at Other
Coast Points-Twenty Soldiers at
Rest Camp Among Missing.

Corpus Christi, Sept. 17.-Today,
more than seventy hours after the
tropical hurricane that tore huge rents
in this Texas coast city and environs
| 1t was still impossible to estimate the
loss of life and damage to property.
Each report revealed the increasing
magnitude of the disaster. 1t was be-
lieved it might be a week or more be-.
fore the extent was known. The great
piles of wreckage may conceal ngmer-
Gus bodies and today hundreds of
men were at work exploring them.
Officials generally were agreed the
| death list would be increased to 100.
and some unofficial estimates placed
| it at 200 to 800 with hundreds injured
or suffering from exposure, from being
buffetted about in the chilly waters.
Property Loss Enormous.
Estimate OF the property loss varies
from s1O.OOO.Oe0 to sl5,OOO,OOo. The
best information today placed the
known dead at .forty-seven. seventy
seven bodies were reported to have
| ben washed ashore last night on the
northern side Of the bay on which
Corpus Christi is situated.
OF the seventy seven bodies thirty
\ eight were taken from West Portland.
| twenty-nin miles from White Point.
and the others from Sinton and Odem.
Other points reported the wasSinS
ashore during the night of several bod
les. Military officials were exertins
1 every resource to ascertain the fate or
twenty or more soldiers who were
washed out into the bay and of whom
| there had been found no trace. The
men, members of Company !, Thirty
| seventh infantry, were at the govern
ment rest camp here for a week end
| furlough.
Death List Increased.
Fifteen additional storm victims
were brought to the temporary morgue
| today bringing the known death list
up to siXty-two.
/ Forty-seven bodies had been re-
covered here up to last night. The
total known dead now exceeds $50, in
GLIDING fifty at Portland according to
| reports here.
The most reliable estimates here to-
dav place the loss Of life at Corpus
Christi and Port Arkansas at $50. The
bodies being recovered now will be
almost impossible of Identification.
