Jeremiah O'Leary
Assails Wilson i'm
"Free Ireland Talk
President Is Referred To as
Recent Occupant of the
White House.; Audience
Cheers Rap at Britain

In the first speech he has made since
violation of the espionage act, Jere-
miah OLeary, at a meeting of the
Irish Progressive League, at the Cen
tral Opera House, Sixty y-seventh Street
and Third Avenue, last night dis
played his usual antagonism against
Great Britain and made few scath-
ing remarks about "thc recent occu-
pant of the White House"
"ln January, 1917" said OLeary,
1--WE were told by the present occu-
pant of the White House-~I mean the
recent occupant of the White House
that small nations should have the
right to self determination. That was
not new doctrine, but is a principle
that goes back to the time whe'. God
handed the Ten Commandments to
Moses on Mount Sinai"
O'Leary spoke with vigor and was
greeted uproariously by the audience
of more than 1000, who gathered to
protest the treatment that Ireland
had received from the peace confer
Ireland as an Independent republic.
Rap at England Cheercd
y Leary continued with an exposi-
ton of the principles of the Declara-
ton of Independence, and added: "If
you believe in the principles of the
Declaration of independence you are
an American, if you don't you are an
Engllshman. This was greeted with
tumult of cheers, and when silence
was regained O'Leary shouted: "That's
the reason I'm called an anti-British
agitator."
That's the reason" he continued,
they framed me up and threw me into
the Tombs until the var was over.
They were afraid to have a man at lib
erty who believed in liberty" This was
followed by another exposition of
American history, with England play
ing the role of civilian" and a final
peroratlon demanding liberty for Ire
land
Pat Quinlan, Irish radical who spent
z year IN jail at Paterson because of
his activities in strikes there, de-
nounced the peace treaty and said all
the talk of the late war being a war
OF liberation and democracy was "a
sham and fraud and lie" He urged
that Irish workers no longer should
submit to "bondage" by Great Britain.
lie went on to call the peace treaty
a covenant of devils and all that is
necessary is to register it in hell"
Wilson Called a viceroy
when Woodrow Wilson comes
back, continued Quinlan, che returns
as ai 'ne ,,, v.iceroy OF Great Britain, and
the White House becomes a royal
house as is the Dublin House in re-
!and.' Ouinlan then went on to cite
George Russell, an Irish writer. as
saying that Wilson had lost his chance
to be of service to the world. and
instead of being the most popular
country in the world the United States
has become the most cursed.
On the conclusion of Quinlan's
speech; Alfred W.. Mccain, of "The
New York Globe" arose and said

Siberia.
PEKING, May (By The Associated
Press). ).-National sentiment has been
aroused in Peking and China over the
peace conference decision regarding
Shantung and Kiao-chau. The press
is united in demanding that the ter
ritoiy be returned unfettercd to China
Parliament on Monday adopted q
resolution addressed to the peace con-
ference deprecating the decision to
give the disputed territory temporarily
to Japan. A boycott Of Japanese goods
is much discussed in official circles
here.
Students on Sunday burned the
home of Tsao Yu-lin, Minister Of Com
munications, and severely beat Chang
Tsung-hsiang, former Minister to
Japan who was a guest at Tsao Yu-
Inns house. Tsao Yu-lin suffered a
broken leg in escaping from the crowd
which pursued him.
The police observed an attitude of
"benevolent neutrality" during the
trouble, but made several arrests after
urgent orders were received from police
headquarters. Previous to the attack
on Tsao Yu-lin's house the students
had marched through the legation
quarter.
Dispatches dated in Peking Tuesday
and received in the United States
Wedne sday said that the Chinese Cab
met had decided to instruct Chinese
delegates in Paris not to sign treaty
assigning the German rights in Shan
tung to the japanese.
1t was reported also that the Min
lister of Education had resigned as a
protest against the decision of the
Cabinet to punish the schooboys ar
rested in connection with the attack
on Tsao Yu-ln.
WASHINGTON, May s.-Serious
concern is felt in official circles here
over the agitation in Peking and Toxic
in opposition to ratification by China
of the peace treaty.
Japanese warnings to Chinese au-
thorties. it is feared, may be the
prelude to action.
Almost total suspension of cable ser
vice between China and the United
States at this particular moment has
added to, this feeling.

Ardent American Admirers
Alienated by His Support
of Japanese Claims in
the Shant.lng Peninsula
League May Take Hand
Belief Is That Loans and
Concessions Will Be
Controlled by Nations
NcV York Tribune
Special Cable Seruice


Copyright 1919. New York Tribune Inc.)
PARIS, May S.-The effect of Prcsi-
dent Wilson's decision to support
Japan's claims in the Shantung
Peninsula has been to ALLEVIATE num-
ber of Americans who were his ardent
admirers and supporters, so that, hav-
ing formerly lost much British, much
French and all his Italian prestige, he
finally estranged the Chinese and
many Americans in the Crillon who
felt intensely on the Shantung
question.
there was much to be said on the
Japanese side, in view of the fact that
Great Britain, France and formerly
Russia, and, to minor extent. the
United States, were similarly trans
gressors of China's integrity.
League May Control Loans
A plan is being considered which
Americans here nope can be accom-
plshed under the league of nations TO
unity and regulate various foreign en-
croachments now existing in China
and to control future concessions and
has been a source of most of the dan
gerous rivalry existing there.
But in many quarters there is little
hope of the league of nations func-
tioning with such efficiency, the gen
eral belief being that the league will
have difficulty functioning even in
Europe. In Far Eastern circles the
question is naturally discussed as to
what effect decision will have in the
Il
a knowledge of the Peking government
generally agree that the consequence
will be to give Japan q dominant in
fiuence in the Chinese government, the
group of Chinese represented here
being unable further to retain power
in the difficult circumstances of disor-
der at present prevailing in China, and
unwilling to risk the dangers of oppos-
ing Japanese influence without Ameri-
can backing.
Explained to Chinese
After President Wilson reached his
decision on the Shantung controversy
he is said to- have sent a message to
the Chinese delegation intimating
that his choice lay between accepting
the Japanese terms and trusting to the
league of nations to protect China in
the future, and failing to bring Japan
into the league.
Some Japanese here speak of the con-
fidence that the Allies and America
have placed in them, inspiring them
to generous behavior toward their un-
wieldly. incompetent neighbor But
others speak frankly of the necessi-
ties Of the mainland empire and admit
that Japan's enormous increased popu-
lation must colonize Corea, Manchuria
and Eastern Siberia. Corea and Man
churia have been hitherto uncoliniz-
able by the Japanese, because the ma
tive coolie labor lives cheaper than the
Japanese. Adjacent Siberia, however,
not only forms vast northwestern
extension of those territories, but also
Is sparsely settled, the Russians never
having emigrated there numerously
despite Russia's long possession.
In this connection an eminent Japan
ese said to me:
We Japanese have equally our. fears
OF the white races, one of which is that
the Americans and Canadians may some
dag combine and cross Alaska into
Siberia"

Neto York Tribune
Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, May s. Chinese
residents of the Shantung Peninsula
have organized to oppose the cession of
Shantung to the Japanese, according to
advices from the Far East reaching
Washington to-day. They are asking
the Chinese of all parts of the republic
TO JOIN their organization and are un-
derstood to have received promises of
support from government officials.
fhey will base their demand for the
return of Shantung to China upon the
arguments presented by the Chinese
delegation to the peace conference and
upon the principle Of the self deter
mination OF peoples
1t is proposed to hold demonstra-
tons, to petition the powers and to
re1use to submit to Japanese authority.
tnls organization WAS started and the
pians iaid before the peace treaty was
made public and it is not believed that
the publication of the treaty will
cause any change in plans
according to the advices, the Chi
nese DO not contemplate, at present
AT least, any armed opposition to the
Japanese, but demonstrations will be
neld similar to those in Corea in ef-
Iecring the passive revolution" The
'hinese leaders in Shantung, it is re-
poFteo' nave no desire to plunge China
INTO war with Japan, but say that war
ana annihilation would be preferable
TO submission TO Japan.
part OF the plan as reported in
the dispatches is to send missions 70
all the great nations to present the de-
mands, claims and aspirations Of the
Chinese Of Shantung, all the time re-
iusing to accept the rule of the Ian
anese and ignoring any regulations

PATRIOTIC PROGRAM
AT CITY SCHOOL
NEXT WEDNESDAY,.
ID. a. RS. To Have Charge OF
Exercises.

In view of the more or less UNI
stable condition of many of the
governments of the world to-
day, owing to the alarming
spread of Bolsheviki ideas, it is
fitting that steps should be
taken to familiarize the people
of the United States with the
fundamental principles of lib
erty on which our government
is founded. With this object in
view eight national patriotic
associations including the
Daughters and Sons of the
American Revolution. are plan
ming campaign to bring about
a better popular understanding
of the Constitution.
They have selected the birth
day of the Constitution, Sep
TENDER II, as the day most fit
ting for the launching of this
campaign. They are planning
to have on that day in every
village, town and city of the
United States exercises which
shall bring home to the people
what blessing it is to live I'M
der a Government, which has
from its beginning been based
upon principles of justice and
liberty.
The local chapter of the D. A.
r. have arranged with Superin-
tendent Whiteside to have ex-
ercises of this nature at the
schools at the chapel period
next Wednesday morning at 9
O'Clock. Visitors will be well
coined.

CRIMSON CLOVER
SHOULD BE SOWN ON
EVERY FARM

Mr.. Carter of the Farm Burau
says, every farmer should
commence this fall to plant some
crimson clover"
All the authorities and hun
dreds of farmers by experience
testify that crimson clover will
grow here on practically all we'll
drained soils.
1t is one of the very best
winter and early spring grazing
crops. Every acre of a good
crop contains about rs pounds
of nitrogen. 1t is ready to pillow
under early in April to enrich
the land.
Now is the time to plant
crimson clover. Sow 15 to 20
pounds of seed per acre. In
oculate the seed on soil at plant
ing time. 1t is best to pillow, disc
and harrow to make good firm
seed bed.

PERKINS-BISHOP

On last Wednesday evening
Mr.. ]. Howard Bishop of this
city and Miss Lucille Mae Per-
kins of Charleston, S. c., were
quietly married at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Hall. Rev.
G. K. Rogers of the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian Church
performed the ceremony.
The wedding was rather a
surprise to the many friends of
of the young couple. Only close
relatives and intimate friends
Of the contracting parties were
present. aAEf1
The reception room where the
ceremony was performed was
artistically decorated with cut
flowers and evergreens. An
improvised altar was arranged
under the chandelier in a most
effective way.
The bride who has been the
summer guest of Mrs. Hall has
made many friends during her
short stay in Monticello.
The groom is the oldest son
Of Mr.. John Bishop. He was
born and reared in this city.
He has perhaps a larger &C
quaintance than any man of his
age in this county. For several
years he was employed at the
local Post Office holding the po-
sition of assistant Postmaster
at the time of his resignation.
Upon giving up this work Mr.
Bishop entered the U. S. Army.
After receiving his discharge he
bought an interest in the Finch
Drug Firm, now known as Finch
& Bishop.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bishop will mo-
tor to Little Rock and Hot
Springs for short visit, after
which they will return to Mon
ticello which will be their home
Their many friend will wish
for them a long life of joy anc
happiness.

some very effective work in pre-

All who have sick ones in the
home and all who realize that
they may have sickness during
the coming winter months will
be interested, because they will
be able to secure invaluable sug-
gestions from the community

If there were no doctor in
your town, would you lend a
hand if a movement were start
ed to secure one? Of course you
would. You now have an OPP
portunity to aid in securing a
trained nurse for the communi-
ty, who will be able to render
services of equal value to that

not afford to fail to do your
share. Come and help make the
movement a success. Without

DRAG A
CHEAP WAY TO MAIN
TAIN EARTH ROADS.

A cheap and efficient way to
maintain earth roads is suppl
ed by the use of the split log
drag which has been used very
effectively in several localities in
Arkansas. Mr.. Ward King, of
Missouria, who originated the
split-log drag explains its con-
structions as follows: Take the
two halves of a split log, 10 to
IL inches thick and seven to
nine feet long. Set the halves
flat sides to the front, fasten 80
inches apart with strong stakes,
the ends of which are wedged in
two inch auger holes, bored
through the slabs. Put a solid
platform on the stakes for the
driver to stand on. The hitch is
made of strong wire or chain
the long end fastened to a stake
over the top of the front slab
the short end should be put
through a hole in the center OF
the slab and near the end tt
prevent the back slab fitting for
ward. Face four of five feet oil
