League Kissed
AS $4,000 Cheer
For De Valera
President and Lloyd George
Jeered at Irish Meeting
at Madison So. Garden;
10000 Unable to Enter

Fifteen thousand Irish men and wom-
en- who Kissed President Wilson, the
league of nations, Sir Douglas Haig
and every mention of England almost
as loudly as they cheered De Valera
and his associates, gathered last night
in Madison Square Garden at meet
ing held under the auspices of the
United Irish Societies to greet the
president of the Irish republic"
The building was filled to the roof
Every seat was taken and the aisles
we're crammed. Outside, 10000 who
had been unable to press into the hall
shouted and sang Irish songs or lis
tented to the roar that kept boiling
up inside the Garden
Officers and Priests in Escort
This uproar reached it's climax when de
Valera entered, escorted by about fifty
officers Of the old 69th Infantry and
as many Roman Catholic priests. This
procession was led through narrow
lane in the mass of humanity that COW
cred the Garden floor by a score of
Irish pipers, and the tunes they blew
we're no more shrill than the screams
of half-hysterical women that rose
above the roar of cheers.
SO dense was the crowd on the floor
that only those nearest De Valera could
see him as he passed through tne crowd
to the platform, and the rest, stand
ing on their chairs had to be content
with a peek at the pheasant feathers
in the tam o shanters that covered the
heads Of the pipers. The cheering never
ceased nor Sim Fein flags to wave
while De Valera moved through the
hall and after he reached the platform
it continued for seven minutes.
Supreme Court Justice Daniel F.
Cohalan presided, and the principal
speakers were De Valera, Frank Walsh
and former Governor Edward F. Dunno
of Illinois, the last two members of
the Irish race conventions commission
sent to the peace conference to at
tempt to get hearing for Ireland's
cause.

Entered War TO Uphold
Ideals of Democracy

The United States entered the
war upon different footing from
every other nation except our
associates on this side of the sea.
We entered it, not because our
material interests were directly
threatened or because any special
treaty obligations to which we
were parties had been violated,
but only because we saw the
supremacy, and even the validity,
Of right everywhere put in jeop-

intolerable aggression of power
which respected neither right nor
obligation and whose very system
of government fouted the rights
of the citizen as against the auto
cratic authority of his governors.
And in the settlements of the
peace we have sought no special
reparation for ourselves, but only
the restoration of right and the
assurance of liberty everywhere
that the effects of the settlement
were to be felt. We entered the
war as the disinterested cham
pions of right and we Interested
ourselves in the terms of the peace
in no other capacity.
The hopes of the nations allied
against the Central Powers were
at very low ebb when our sol
diers began to pour across the sea.

Says Senate Had Daily
Report of Progress

In one sense, no dout.t, there
is no need that should report to
you what was attempted and done
at Paris You have been daily
cognizant Of what was going on
there - of the problems with
which the peace conference had
to deal and of the difficulty of
laying down straight lines Of set
tlement anywhere on a field on
which the old lines of interna
tional relationship, and the new
alike followed so intricate a pat
tern and were for the most part
cut so deep by historical circum-
stances, which dominated action
where it would have been best to
ignore or reverse them. The cross
currents of politics and of inter-
est must have been evident to
you. 1t would be presuming in
me to attempt to explain the
questions which arose or the
many diverse elements that en-
tered into them. l shall attempt
something less ambitious than
that and more clearly suggested
by my duty to report to the Con-
greSa the part it seemed recessar,-
for my colleagues and me to play
as the representatives of the gov
ernment Of the United States.
That part was dictated by the
role America had played in the
war and by the expectations that
had been created in the minds of
the peoples with whom we had
associated ourselves in that great
struggle.

Are Hailed as Crusaders

They were recognized as cru
aaders, and as their thousands
swellcd to millions their strength
was SEN to mean salvation. And
they were fit to carry such a hope
and make good the assurance it
forecast. Finer men never went
into battle; and their officers were
worthy of them. This is not the
occasion upon which to utter a eu-
logy of the armies America sent
to France, but perhaps since l am
speaking of their mission, / may
speak also of the pride / shared
with every American who saw or
dealt with them there They were
the sort of men America would
wish to be represented by, the
sort Of men every American
would wish to claim as fellow
countrymen and comrades in
great cause. They were terrible
in battle and gentle and helpful
out of it, remembering the moth
ers and the sisters, the wives and
the little children at home. They
were free men under arms. not
forgetting their ideals of duty in
the midst of tasks of violence. I
am proud to have had the privi-
lege of being associated with them
and, of calling myself their
leader
But | speak now of what they
meant to the men by whose side
they fought and to the people
with whom they mingled with
such utter simplicity, as friends
who asked only to be of service.
They were for all the visible en-
bodiment of America. What they

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-Aided by
westerly wind that sometimes
reached q velocity of nearly forty miles
an hour, the British dirigible R-34 to-
night was we'll out over the Atlantic
on the return trip to East Fortune,
Seotland, after a stay of eighty-six
hours in America.
The last message from the airship,
received late to-day by the Navy De-
paztment, gave her position at that
time as $50 miles due east of Bar
Harbor, Me-, and more than 1000 miles
from Mineola, L. l., from which she
started last midnight.
The dirigible, as logged by the Navy
Department throughout the day, aver
Aged more than sixty miles an hour

side OF the Atlantic, and if weather
conditions remain favorable naval

Wireless Touch Maintained
The first word heard from the R-34
siser the drigble left American shores
snis morning was radio message sent
- a. m., giving the ships position
i5o miles due east from Long
A'iand. Direct communication was
maintained with the Navy Department
thereafter. At 10 a. m. a message said
'ae oiriglbie was then making fifty
.'gnt knots, equivalent to about sixty
'our land miles an hour.
Later the R-34 signalled that the
siHa was becoming stronger and the
u'iigible's speed had reached eighty
SH an hour at times.

timely aid accomplished alike for
their morale and their physical
safety. That first, never to be for
gotten action at Chateau Thierry
had already taken place. Our re
doubtable soldiers and marines
had already closed the gap the
enemy had succeeded in opening
for their advance upon Paris
had already turned the tide of
battle back toward the frontiers
of France, and begun the rout
that was to save Europe and the
world. Thereafter the Germans
were to be always forced back,
back, were never to thrust sue
cessfully forward again. And yet
there was no confident hope.
French Spirit Upheld
BY American Victories
Anxious men and women, lead
ing spirits of France, attended the
celebration of the Fourth of July
last year in Paris out of generous
courtesy-with no heart for fes-
tlvity; little zest for hope But
they came away with something
new at their hearts.
They have themselves told us
so. The mere sight of our men
Of their vigor, of the confidence
that showed itself in every move
ment of their stalwart figures ana
every turn of their swinging
march, in their steady, compre-
hending eyes and easy discipline,
in the indomitable air that added
spirit to everything they did
made every one who saw them that
memorable day realize that some
thing had happened that was
much more than mere incident
IN the figh.-.l, something very
different from the mere arrival of
fresh troops. A great moral force
had flung itself into the struggle.
The fine physical force of those
spirited men spoke of something
more than bodily vigor
They carried the great ideals of
free people at their hearts and
with that vision were unconquer-
able. Their very presence brought
reinsurance; their fighting made
victory certain.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
 BILL OFFERED BY
 JUDGE INFER IN 1892

Woman suffrage amendment was first introduced into the Alabama Senate in 1923 session by Judge John w. Inzer of Ashville, the only living member of the secession convention of Alabama of 1S61 The joint resolution as proposed would amend article of the state con- stitution and would have been subdi- vision of this article, giving women cer tain equal privileges in voting.
 The joint resolution, in substance, pro- vsded that the legislature of Alabama should havf authority to confer on the women of Alabama the right to vote at all elections in regard to matters of schools and education and in regard to the making and selling of vinous, spirit ous or malt liquors in the state.
 This proposed resolution was referred to the senate judiciary committed, and later in the session came up for consid- eratior and vote on an adverse report receiving only seven votes.
 Judge Inzer, then representing the Sixth district, composed of the counties of Cherokee. Etowah and St. Clair. stated that he felt confident that the bill would not receive the necessary two-thirds vote, so that it might be submitted to the people for vote, but it would be a be- ginning, looking forward to equal suf- frage in the state.

What the Hoo HOO's
 Organization Means

Health, Happiness and Long Life' is the motto of the Hoo Hoo's, the largest lumber organization in the world, &C., cording to E. D. Tennant, secretary treasurer of the order. ssIt is an organi- zation that teaches one how to make friends and how to better business condi- tions, thereby making better customers. Various trades have endeavored to imi- tate the Hoo Hoo's, but none have been so successful as this organization"
 MT. Remnant is from Winnipeg, Canada, and one of the early members. He came to Birmgnnam for the convention of the Hoo Hoo's last night. At New Orleans he witnessed the initiation of A candi- dates.
 In explaining the works of the organi- ga ton he stated that not only was it a fraternal organization, but one in which families as well as the members derive benefits. It has a membership all over the world.
 Notice the black cat in the lapel of my coat" said MT. Remnant. That cat comes from the old mythology of the Egyptians as sacred animal. That is a part of our insignia!"
 On his finger was a gold ring with ar Egyptian mumnie encircling the ring and upon her breast was a large ruby This is a coveted article with the Hoo Hoos and can be obtained only after a long membership, according to MT. Ten nant,
