Collections Here
For Irish Fund Are
Legal, Lawyers Says
John HI. Boyle Declares de
Valera Is Not Seeking to
Raise Military Force and
That He Violates No Law

Answering an inquiry in letter
written by reader of The Tribune,
which asked whether the collection of
funds in this country for the Irish
cause was violation Of the law, John
H. Boyle, an attorney, Of 81 Pine
Street, wrote a statement yesterday,
holding that such collections were
legal, since de Valera and the other
Irish leaders now here were not seek
There is a law" says Mr.. Boyle,
(which makes it nigh misdemeanor for
any person within the territory or
jurisdiction of the United States to
set on foot or to provide or prepare
the means for any military expedition
or enterprise against friendly power.
The speeches, writings, collections and
other activities for Irish Alf-govern-
ment are not violative eli ler of the
letter or the spirit of this law.
Appeal for Fairness
Their sole purpose, as reiterated by
Mr.. de Valera, is an appeal to the
openmindedness of America and Amer
icans-to their greatness and their
honesty-to recognize the will of the
Irish people in their age-long struggle
in the sweeping vote last December
for q republican form of government
of their own.
"They seek this recognition by means
as reasonable, peaceful and orderly
as the suffrage by which they thus
expressed their will.
"The Irish appeal to America, far
from being against our law, is Of its
very spirit. 1t is solidly grounded in
the uniform policy Of the United States
to extend its sympathetic support to
peoples in other countries striving for
self-government. In our generation
Cuba is a conspicuous example, but
perhaps the most interesting parallel
to the present situation was the strug-
gle of the Hungarian republic and the
reception which this country gave to
it's leader, Louis Kossuth, about seventy
years ago.
Answers Philippine Problem
"The same correspondent asked what
would be the attitude of this govern
ment if agitators from Hawaii or the
Philippines should start a movement
in England to support certain aspira-
tions of the Hawaiian or Philippine
people. The plain answer to these
suppositions is that they are impos-
sible. We believe in self-government,
not domination; development, not ex-
ploitation.
"Our policy toward weaker peoples
has been to assist and develop them
to manage their own affairs until such
time as they may freely seek member
ship in our Union or set up their own
integral sovereignty and self-govern-
ment."

$l4,OOO,OOO Fixed
In House Bill for
Wounded Soldiers

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Amended
to provide s14,0o0,oo0 instead of Sc ,00o,-
900 for the rehabilitation of wounded
soldiers, sailors and marines. the sun
dry civil appropriation bill, which was
vetoed by the President, was passed
to-day by the House and sent to the
Senate.
The original measure was vetoed by
the President on the ground that s6,-
100000 was insufficient to care properly
Tor the country's wounded men. To
meet his objection, the House Ap-
preparations Committee increased the
amount to $12,0OO,OO0. Democrats in
sisted on larger sum and after Rep
resentative Buchanan, Democrat, Of
Texas, moved to recommit the bill with
instructions to increase the amount to
S18,000,0O0. Republican leader Mondell
offered substitute to the motion, in
creasing the amount to $14,O00,O 900. This
was carried, pol to 1914.
Prompt action on the bill is planned
by leaders in the Senate. The measure
will be taken up by the Appropriations
Committee tomorrow, and under
present plans will be passed by the
Senate before adjournment Tomorrow,
as the funds provided in the measure,
particularly those for the Shipping
Board, are urgently needed.

Municipal Ownership of
Trolleys Called Unwise
Federal Commission Told Lines
Have Outgrown Municipal
Boundaries and Rule

WASHINGTON, Jul, 17.-Because
public utilities have outgrown munich
pal boundaries, municipal ownership of
them practically is dead issue, the
Federal Electric Railways Commission
was told to-day by William j. Clark
one of the pioneer street railway build
crs of the country. Mr.. Clark said tho
interurban idea was growing rapidly
and that jealousy between towns and
rural communities would not permit a
big municipality to own an electric
railway serving them all.
The value of courtesy in improving
relations between the public and street
railway lines was emphasized by Mr..
Clark, who said little acts Of discour-
tesy by company employees caused pas
sengers to have personal grievances
against the company.
w. D. George, receiver Of the Pitts
burgh Traction properties, and M. D.
Brush, former president Of the Boston
Elevated lines, testified that increased
fares had been resorted to in their
respective cities in an effort to relieve
the companies financial embarrass-
ment, but without success.

Samuel Untermyer Gives
$4,000 to Irish Fund
Although Adherent of League
of Nations, He Believes
in Ireland's Cause

Samuel Untermyer has given $4,000
to the $2,ooo,oOo Irish victory fund, it
was learned yesterday. In letter to
Justice Daniel F. Cohalan, chairman of
the Victory Fund Committee, Mr.. Un-
termyer said that although an adherent
of the league of nations, he believed in
the justice of the Irish cause. The let
ter says in part:
Il have accordingly concluded that
lnasmuch as the money and all other
funds collected by your committee are
to be devoted toward a peace full edu-
catlonai campaign to impress upon and
keep before the civilized world the
anomalous situation of Ireland and its
demand for self-determinaton, I shall
be glad to contribute and am herewith
inclosing my check for $1,000.
After all, such campaign will be
your most powerful weapon, for YOUR
cause is just, and Ireland's wrongs
have been and are intolerable. Welded
as l am to the conviction that the
league Of nations will in the end prove
the panacea for the ills of Ireland,
that through it we shall have an era of
world peace, and that Ireland will soon
secure through that agency its long
sought opportunity of determining it's
own form of government, notwith-
standing your view to the contrary,
would oppose the league if felt other

ropean battle against anarchy"
General Smuts urges leaving Russia
10 settle her own affairs, on the ground
mat "a sobered soviet system may be
better than barbarism, to which the
present policy seems inevitably to be
tendlng," and declares British states
men should apply the same medicine to
ireland that they applied to Bohemia.
100000, Germans a Factor
"A brutal fact" General Smuts con-
tlnues, "is that Britain is a very small
Island on the face of continent in
which 70,000,000 Germans represent q
most important and formidable nation
al factor You cannot have a stable
Europe without stable and settled
Germany: You cannot have a stable

Weltering in confusion. Therefore the
appeasement of Germany becomes of

General SHUTS, in urging encour-
agement of the Republican admins

probably will be decided in Germany,
and that President Ebert observes our
backing and encouragement"
"Do not let US deal with Ebert as
We have dealt with Kerensky and

the Irish question.
1T has become a chronic wound
whose septic efforts are spreading to

General Smuts. "Unless it is settled
on the great principles which form the
basis of this empire this empire must
cease to exist.
"Our statesmen in Paris dealt with
racial problems resembling Ireland, and
in every way as difficult as the Irish
problem, and they may not shrink from
applying to Ireland the same medicine
they applied to Bohemia and many an

War Not Over for Slackers.
Says Supreme Court Justic

After granting her an annulment of
marriage performed August IT, 1917,
Justice Kelby, of the Brooklyn Supreme
Court, asked Mrs. Margaret Maggie, of
333 Meserole Street, Brooklyn, for the
address of her husband, Joseph, so that
he may be prosecuted by the Federal
authorities as a Stacker. Mrs. Maggie
told Justice Kelby that her husband
declined to live with her, although on
account of the marriage he obtained
deferred classification in the army
draft. When reproved by her brother
she further said, the husband attacked
him with chair and was shot in the
arm and shoulder. She said she had
not seen him since.
"The war is not over for slackers. !"
said Justice Kelby.

War Expenditures
investigation Will
Require Six Months
First Work Will Be to Find
Cause of Holding Army's
Surplus Canned Vegeta.
bles From Present Market
Ne,o York Tribune
Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, July 17.-So great is
the task that confronts the special com.
mittee of the House which is investi-
eating war expenditures that it is not
likely that it will complete its labors
within six months. Representative c..
r. Reavis, chairman Of the sub-com-
mittee on the quartermaster corps. said
to-day that he could not even hope to
complete his committees work in less
than half year.
None of the subcommittee has vet
really begun work. The hearing held
by the American expeditionary force.
camp and quartermaster committees
are merely casual. The ordnance com
mittee began hearings to-day, and it
will be two weeks before the aviation
committee begins its hearings.
Before the quartermaster's CORDS
committee takes up it's general task it
purposes to get to the bottom of the
War Departments attitude toward the
foodstutfs surplus question. This now
centres IN the canned vegetables.
Seeking Selfish Motive
Members of this committee are Of
the opinion that before they get
through with this subject they will
estaD!lsn an underlying selfish inter-
est that was responsible for holding
back from the market $1,000 100000
worth of canned vegetables and arrang-
ing Tor the army ration to be so altered
that in the course of time the soldiers
would devour the whole surplus.
SO far as the investigation has gone
the responsibility has been placed with
General r. E. Wood, formerly quarter
master general. The next stem will be
to find out whether General Wood got
MS orders from higher up. General
WOOD, who was retired officer called
back into the service during the war,
returned to civil life soon after the
understanding was reached with the
Gamers. He had associated with him
a civilian, Mr.. Thorn, member of the
Chicago mail order house Of Mont
gomery, Ward & Co., which has large
interests in canned goods. Mr.. Thorn,
according to committee information,
left the public service at the same time
that General Wood did, and on return
ing to his old business established
General Wood in the same concern.
Uneconomic and Poor Judgment
Chairman Reavis of the quarter
master committee said to-day that the
withholding of such a large quantity
OF food from consumption was so ur-
economic and such poor judgment that
he is determined to locate the respon-
sibility.
