IRISH REPUBLIC
 SUCCESS SURE
 SAYS GOV. DUNN
England Played by Commission For Attitude Toward Ireland Nothing Can Stop Success
 Of the Irish Republic

NEW YORK. July S.-Only "a gi- gantic military machine, equiped with machine guns and armored cars" and Imprisonment of their trusted lead ers," can prevent the full operation of republican government in Ire land" Edward F. Dunn, former gov ernor of Illinois, and one of three American delegates sent abroad by the Irish societies of America to in- tercede in behalf of Ireland at the peace conference, declared upon his arrival here today on the steamer La Savoie.
 With Mr. Dunn came Frank P. Walsh, another of the delegates, who also issued a statement predicting cause.
 Given Enthusiastic Reception
 The two delegates who were pre-. ceded to the United States by sev. eral weeks by Michael F. Ryan, the third member of the mission, were given an enthusiastic reception by a crowd of several hundred persons. The reception was attended by the waving of American and Irish repub- lic'' flags and cheering for the dele gates and for Ireland. The delegates drove immediately to the hotel where Eamonn de Valera "the president of the Irish republic" is stopping and were received by him. Later they were made de Valera's guests at lun- cheon.
 Mission a Success
 we are satisfied that our mission accomplished most, If not all that we set out to accomplish" MT. Dunn said.
 Irish Case Before Peace Conference
 "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 usual contempt. Upon our insistence, that it must be the American commission made representations to the British Prime Minister urging that it should British Prime Minister thereupon ex- pressed a desire to meet us in con- ference, and pending the fixing ofNat date for this conference gave us dip- lomatic passports to visit Ireland, ex- pressing a desire that we should wis it all portions of that country, includ- ing Belfast.
 England Played in Irish Attitude

 Admit Trial by Jury Rights
 We compelled them to admit that the right of trial by jury, the right of habeas corpus and all the other safeguards usually thrown around a people in civilized countries had been overthrown in Ireland and that British domination was sustained only by the presence of an enormous army or occupation equipped with all the mur- derous weapons of actual modern war fare.
 Ireland Not Seeking FaVors
 We have plainly shown to the American commissioners that Ireland is not in the position of seeking fa- vors from England. but is in the posi- tion of demanding recognition from the worlds conference of de facto and de jure government, and as hav- ing the right to become 8 member of the League of Nations.
 Are Confident of Outcome
 we are confident of the outcome. Eighty pr cent of the people of Ire land demand a republic and are en' deavoring to function as a republics and it's people will not be content with any thing but a republic"
 MT Walsh asserted that dspite MT. Lloyd Georges declaration that Eng land does not seek yard of territory" since the war England has not only suppressed the movement for a free Ireland, but has seized vast territory in Egypt, German East Africa, German Southwest Africa, German Samoan Is- stands, Naura, the Bismarck archipel- ago-German islands of the Solomon group and the German portion of New Guinea
