 The presidents message follows
 T take the liberty of calling your attention to a matter which I am sure is at heart of the whole country, and which I have had very much ir mind throughout all these months when we were trying to arrange a peace that would be worthy of the spirit and achievements of the men who won the victory in the field and on the sea.
 After mature reflection, I earnestly recommend that you give the perma- nent rank of general to John J. Per shing, and Peyton c. March, express ing the law in such a way as to give precedent to General Pershing; that you give the permanent rank of ad miral to William s. Benson, and Will liam s. Sims.
 T take it for granted that I am only anticipating your own thought in pro posing these honors for the men upon whom the principal responsibilities de- volved for achieving the great results which our incomparable navy and army accomplished
 Small Applause for Wilson

H|BERN|ANS' ORDER HALLS NEW IRELAND;

Irish Convention Speakers Come Dangerously Near Advocating Overthrow of British Government
Republican A. p. Leased Wire

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1S.-"The brave and generous Irish people who have struck a mighty blow for true democracy were hailed in resolutions adopted by the Ancient Order of Hi bernians in America and Canada in national convention here today.
 Socialism was condemned in other resolutions that received favorable ac- tion: efforts for the spread of Catholic education were commended and devout reverence acknowledged to the Catholic church and Pope Benedict
 Stringent immigration laws were de- preciated. Repeal by congress of the literacy test for immigrants was urged.
 The report of the foreign relations committee submitted today would place the order firmly on record as opposed to any pact entered into by the United States that might merge the identity of the nation.
 In addressing a joint session of the delegates to the national convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the womans' auxiliary, Eamonn de Valera declared:
 T believe democracy in England would free the English as well as ourselves"
 Speak of English Revolution
 The Right Rev. Bishop NJ. J. Gal lagher of Detroit, who preceded de Valera said:
 We will win independence for Ire land when England has risen to over throw the government and establish democratic government"
 De Valera said:
 Tt would be an act of despair in Gods justice and goodness if We were to think our cause a failure. Tn order that Poland might be freed three mighty empires had to fall. With the triumph of Poland before us, no one can feel that Ireland is going to fall It may be necessary to have a period of conflict and world strife to change the old order, but it depends on America whether that period will be necessary.
 The present covenant of the league of nations is merely a modification of the old holy alliance Ireland de- mands her place in a real league O: nations"

SPOKANE, Wash, July 1S.-Racing over mountain ridges of western Montana and northern Idaho, forest fires which have been burning for more than week spread destruc- tion today and threatened small towns which had been severed by the flames from communication with the United States forest service headquarters at Missoula, Montana.
 The fire near Henderson, Montana, jumped the mountain into the Mullan gulch country where there is said to be virtually no opportunity to catch it. The fire near St. Regis, Montana crossed the Clark Fork river and late today was spreading unchecked over large area.
 Only with favorable weather condi- tions is there any possibility of con- trolling the flames, district forest ser vice officials said. Should high wind arise there are not enough men in this country to stop the fires, it was de- clared by Supervisor White of the Lolo forest, in which the area covered by the Henderson and St. Regis fire is located. It is costing the federal for est service $l5,000 daily to fight the fires in this district, it is said Extra fire fighters now in the field number 1,540 besides the regular forest ser- vice forces, the extra patrol and con- Struction crews and the trail construc- tion crews now fighting the fires. The number of men put in the forests by private timber owners is unavailable The United States employment bureau telephoned every newspaper in west ern Montana and to every available place where men may be found, asking that all possible men be rushed to for est service officers to meet the calls for fire fighters.

Maintained Order

In the midst of a disorganized people and subject to influences which worked for ruin. you consistently helped those with whom you came in contact. you re- established their lives. cannot say too much in praise of the demeanor of your brave army in those trying circumstances. Future generations will happily record the influence for good which you were privileged to exercise upon a large part of the population of the world, and will accord you the place which you have so courageously won. There is, perhaps, nowhere recorded a more brilliant record, than the withdrawal of your forces in opposition to the ar mic sof Germany and Austria, through a population at once hostile, for the march of your armies for thousands of miles across great stretches of Siberia, all the while keeping in mind the. ne- cessit yfor order and organization.
 You are now returning to your na- tive country, which we all rejoice to say, is again a free and b independent country. You may contribute to her life that standard which you so con spicuously manifested through all your trying experiences in Russia and Si- beria and you may keep in mind after your return, as you have kept in mind hitherto, that the laws of God, the laws of man, and the laws of nature. require systematic order and cool counsel for their proper applicat ton and development and for the welfare land happiness of the human race"
