Paris. March 1.-IreianG's cause
and Ireland's claims are to be con-
sidered by the peace conference. Il
make this statement upon high au-
thority, but the announcement must
not be considered as indicating for
NAL action on the part of the Paris
session
1t means that the council of ten Will
go into the question as to whether Ire
land is a proper subject for official
discussion.
If she is found to be within the
scope of the conference program, her
claims will be treated as are those OF
Poland, JugoSlavta or the other ma

takes the view that the irish problem
is one for Great Britain to deal with
individually, the path will be blocked.

position that she will take in refer-
ence to giving consideration TO Ire

sentiment across the seas whereby
without definitely promising TO ire
land anything, she is to get at least
the right of making representations
az TO her prhsent plight ard theenlans

that, her champions say, require more
than 200, 900 SOLDIERS to maintain
1t is probable that the irish matter
will not be formally discussed until
President Wilson'S return, as no pie
nary meetings are to be held untll
| then.
Gable Question Unsettled.
