IRISH .ENVOYS IN PLEA TO WILSON

PARIS, May 21..-Frapk p. Walsh. Edward Duhne and Michael Ryan, the representatives of Irish societies in the United States, have made pub lie a letter addressed to President Wilson, asking permission to present him personally the matter of safe con- ducts to Paris for Edward de Valera, Arthur Griffith and Count Plunkett, as well as "certain facts of grave inn portance now in our possession"
 The letter gives the history of the case showing that on April IT, Colonel House requested Premier Lloyd George of. England that safe conducts be given the three Irish leaders as representatives to the peace confer ence On the day following Colonel House informed them that the presaier was willing to comply, but desired an interview with the Irish-American del egation before doing so.
 eAfter two tentative dates had been set by the British premier, and, not having been received, they were advis- cu ny OO1Olci f1OuS6 to repeat the request through Secretary Lansing, laid it before President Wilson, tI whom an appeal for personal hear ing is now made. Tn conclusion, the letter says:
 Tn view of existing conditions in Ireland that cannot be denied, to fore close its case by refusing a hearing to its representatives at this time would be disconsonant with the de- clared purpose for which the war has been prosecuted and out of harmony with the common principles of democ- racy"
 Colonel House said tonight that the letter was in error in stating that he had informed the delegation that MT. Lloyd George was willing to comply with their request for safe conducts for the Irish leaders. The request for safe conducts had been made. but uo reply that the request would be com piled with. Colonel House says that the request was unofficial except, as the dele gates, the president had referred them to him.
