SWITZERLAND.

Switzerland appears 10 he tho only

her desires to the Peace Conference.

that while Switzerland would he glad

she could not do so II that should mean
the use Of her troops In policing the
world by force, as perhaps against
Italy, France or Germany.

JAPAN.

Japan enters the Peace Conference. as
Baron Maxine. the senior delegate, has
said, with no territorial ambitions In
China" and that as for Tsing-tau "she
will hand it back to China under the
terms OF the notes exchanged between
China and Japan In May, 1915" This
is interpreted by Japan as permitting
her to retain certain former German
concessions on the ,Shantuns peninsula.
Japan, Baron Maxine explains neither
intends nor desires to interfere In Rus
sian affairs. but is willing II solicited.
to aid Russia in restoring order"
These declarations dispose OF two of
the main questions IN which Japan Is
Interested except that she desires TO re-
tain the Southern Pacific islands north
Of the equator which formerly belonged
TO Germany.

Case Of Ireland Ignored.
The case OF Ireland before the
worlds peace conference was being
deliberately ignored prior TO our ar
rival in Paris, and was being treated
by England with her ususal unconcern
and contempt.
Upon our insistence, however, that
II must be considered. the American
commission made representations to
the British prime minister urging
that IL should receive prompt consid-
GRAFTON. The British prime minister
thereupon expressed desire 10 meet
US in conference. and pending the
fixing of a date for this conference.
gave Us diplomatic passports to visit
ireland, expressing a desire that we
should visit all portions Of that coun-
try, including Belfast.
Caused Scandal TO BE Aired.
I'VE went to Ireland and thus were
able to give to president Wilson. the
American commission and the world,
a true. unvarnished story OF English
atrocities and military misrule in
Ireland. We compelled the castle au-
thorities in Dublin and finally the
whole English and Irish press TO
take Up and discuss openly the scan
dalous military occupation amid op-
preston
I'VE compelled them to admit that
the right OF trial by jury. the right Of
habeas corpus and all the other safe

pie IN civilized countries had been
Overthrown in ireland. and that Brit-
ish domination was sustained only by
