Why President Wilson
Refused to Hear
Delegates For ireland

Washington, July 1O.-(By Univer-
sal Service. .)-President Wilson today
expressed the wish that the Ameri
can people should understand "The
delicacy of his position with reference
to Irish freedom" He stated this re-
quest to group of Democratic Sena-
tors who visited him in the president S
room at the Capitol after he had ad-
dressed the Senate.
The President told the Senators that
it was impossible for the proponents
of Irish independence to obtain recog-
milton at the peace conference. The
situation as explained by the Presi-
dent, is that the conference is con-
cerned with territory taken from the
enemy and not possessed by the allies,
whereas the Irish question relates to
territory which is recognized by inter
national law as belonging to Great
Britain.
The Senators, many of whom have
been boldly advocating Irish freedom,
we're urged to carry this view of the
matter to the people of the United
States. At least one of them-Senator
Phelan of California-accepted the
Presidents view of the situation.
PheIan's Statement.
After the conference with the Presi-
dent, Senator Phelan said:
II realize the delicacy of the situa-
tion as far as the President is con-
cerned. Outside of obtaining Eng
lands consent to Irish autonomy moth
ing short of war with England can be
done for Ireland. But no one pro-
poses war with England for the sole
purpose of liberating Ireland. England
has technically legal possession in Ire
land, and she denies the jurisdiction of
the conference to disturb her title
until she is. ready to consider it.
England should yield autonomy to
Ireland, however, If she sincerely con-
cedes the principle of self-determina-
tion and firmly to establish peace in
the world. All the forces are at work
to satisfy Irish demands, in my judg-
ment, excepting the province of Ulster.
When Ulster yields England will yield,
and think Ulster will be given guar
antees and ultimately conciliated."
The President informed the Sena-
tors that Premier Lloyd George had
arranged passports for the American
delegates sent to Ireland with view
of enabling them to get first hand in
formation.
Discussing the failure of the peace
conference to receive the representa-
tives of Irish-American organizations
on behalf of Irish freedom, Mr.. Will
son was said to have told Senators
that the representatives had so identi-
fled themselves with the revolutionary
element in Ireland that it became i'm.
possible to receive them. He was
quoted as saying that both he and
David Lloyd George, the British
premier, had been anxious to arrange
for a hearing.

Dimes TODAY
ON QUAIL ON TOAST

President Wilson is to dine on quail
today instead of turkey. Not wishing
to take a chance on interfering with the
chief executives digestion. his physi-
cian, Admiral Grayson, recommended
the smaller bird for the Presidents
menu, and that none of the thirty-six-
pound gobbler which South Trimble
forwarded to the White House in keep
ing with his Thanksgiving custom
should find it's place on the Presidents
plate.
The President. however. will have a
substantial meal, but one fitted to make
no strain on his condition.
Much to his disappointment, Presi-
dent Wilson will not be able to sit at
the dinner table. but, instead, will eat
while seated in his wheelchair in his
room. He has not eaten at table
since his return here last September,
after his trip to the coast.
Today was the quietest Thanksgiv1,
ing the White House has had in the
memory of any of its executive force.
The only guest is Miss Lucy Maury of
Roanoke, Va, a niece of Mrs. Wilson.
Miss Margaret Wilson is the only
daughter Of the President now in the
city, Mrs. Francis B. Sayre and Mrs.
w. G. McAdoo having returned to
their respective homes following the
departure of the Prince of Wales.

INDIGNATION GROWS
s. AS MESSAGEFR0M
MEXICO ARRIVES
Congress Expected to Au-
thorize Stiff Demands
Upon That Country.
STATE DEPARTMENT NOT
YET IN RECEIPT OF NOTE
Meeting of Cabinet Is Thought
Likely as Soon as Reply
Reaches Government.

Stiff demands upon Mexico are going
to be authorized by Congress promptly
at the opening of the new session
Monday, it was indicated today by
members who are in the city.
Leaders in Congress who could be
reached stated they viewed with in
creasing Indignation the latest ex-
preston of the attitude of the Mexican
government toward the United States.
as shown in the note refusing to re-
lease American Consular Agent Jen-
kinS.
Some members of the House foreign
affairs committee were in conference
at the Capitol today. They expect
that the first action of the House will
be to instruct the State Department
to make unmistakable representations
to Mexico, which may lead to inter-
vention." as one member put it. Just
what form the action will take has
not been developed.
Several members of the foreign af-
fairs committee and of the House
rules committee said that a special
rule would be invoked to bring up the
Mexican matter in Congress imme-
diately. They believe that interven-
ton will be delayed until stiff mes
sages have been sent, but they say
that they find a growing sentiment
vention unless the Mexican govern
meht promptly meets the demands of
the American authorities.
Message Not Received.
The official communication from
Mexico refusing to comply with the
recent demand of the United States
for the release of William o. Jenkins,
the American consular agent who is
imprisoned by the Carranza govern
ment on a kidnapping charge, had not
reached the State Department up to
o'clock today. Press dispatches con-
tanning the text were carefully di-
gested in government circles.
There was no indication as to when
a>cabinet meeting would be called to
consider the Mexican reply, but it was
believed that such a meeting would
follow Immediately the receipt of the
official communication. In the mean
time there was much speculation in
diplomatic circles as to the further
course Of the controversy. and repre-
sent8tiyes sof foreign governments
watch the situation with keen interest.
The unofficial text Of Gen. Carranxa,S
reply os.thes United States demHnd
for the f8feaEe Of Jenkins has served
to increase the tenseness OF the Mexi-
can situation. The first chief declares
there ID no legal foundation nor pril-
ciple Of international law" upon which
the United States bases it's demand for
Jenkins release, and states that it was
impossible to accede to the request of
the American government.
