land and ireland. G

Dublin, Jan. 1.-THE government, it
is reported here, is about to issue a
proclamation tightening the laws
against the Sim Feiners. Some
months ago a proclamation was issued
under the crimes act declaring that
the Sim Feiners were dangerous This
was the necessary preliminary step
10 the suppression of the organization
but no subsequent step has yet been
taken.
Once a proclamation suppressing
the Sim Fein is issued it becomes a
crime to belong to the organization
and the government can prosecute
any member and send him to pail
The Sim Fein intends to summon
its own parliament and has already
held two preliminary meetings They
treat the last election as an act of
self-determination and look upon all
persons elected regardless OF party as
members of tho Irish republic assem-.
bly, Accordingly, they have issued IN
vitations to their own members as
we'll as the Carsonites and national.
lists, but no one of the other party
members is taking any notice of 1t.
Thirtyfour of the Sim Feiners
elected are imprisoned in England and

Nobody among us will ever forget
what America did. Marshal Foch
Treves, Jan l5.--It is the convic
tion OF Marshal Foch that the Rhine
must be made the barrier between
Germany and France He expressed
this clearly today when he received
American newspaper correspondents
The marshal is here in connection
with the meeting concerning the ex
tension Of the German armisticc.
Marshal Foch pointed out the diff
ficulties that had been overcome and
said that peace must be commensu
rate with the price OF victory Ger
many now Is beaten, he added, but
with her resources, especially in men
rGcuperation in comparatively short
time is quite possible. 1t was now
the duty of the allies to prevent fur
thcr aggressions
Marshal FOch praised the work OF
tho American troops and said that
General Pershing had asked that the
American forces be concentrated fol-
an attack In one sector
The allied generalssimo admitted
that the Argonne-Meuse front. where
the Americans began their offensive
on September 20, was a sector hard
to tackle" The marshal said he had
told General Pershing:
Your men have the dovifs own
PUNCH. They will SET Sy With all
that. Go 10 Il.
The American attack succeeded
the marshal continued "and here We
are on the Rhine
The armistlce was not concluded
too soon and the allies got all they
asked from Germany without contlnu
ing the fighting. The allies, the mar
shal said, were prepared for another
offensive stroke which would hav,
forced the Germans to give up. This
was to have been made in Lorrain,
on November IA with six American
and twenty French divisions.
