Attitude of Delegates In

Paris. Feb. 2S.-Ireland's chances in
the Peace Conference depend upon
the attitude of the British delegates.
particularly those Of the British do
minions, who are susceptible to politi-
cal pressure from home, which is like
wise true Of President Wilson.
The Sim Fein delegate. John O'Kel-

without invitation, but that he took

Hope in Irish-Americans.
1t is evident that the Irish are plac-
ing great hopes in political action by
Irish-AmeriCans.
So far the French press has not
paid much attention to the Irish de-
mands. The subject is decidedly en-
barrassing. There is a great histor-
and the Celts in the British Empire,
but the times have changed many
things. Personally, the average
Frenchman still feels congenial and
sympathetic toward the Celtic ele-
ments, but since the English have be-
come Frances allies it is difficult for
the French to take a definite position
regarding what England character

Furthermore, the French will not
forget that while numerous brave

Letter From Mrs. Smarr

Mrs. E. H. Allain is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. w. A. Smarr of Higginsville, Mo-. in which she tells of the recent death of Mir. Smarr who at one time was citizen of Carlisle and had many friends here.
 In part, Mrs. Smarr writes: Mir. Smarr's health continued to fall until we took him to Kan sas City for examination. The doctors disagreed. one saying it was his stomach. another that it was his heart and a third that perhaps 1t was his lungs, and an X-ray examination showed his lungs practically gone. He was too weak to make the trip back to Oklahoma, so we came here to Higginsville. In March he had a terrible shock. that of seeing, from his window, his mother burned to death. Just three weeks from her death, he pass ed away. The same minister that performed our marriage ceremony conducted his funeral. So many of our friends were there.
 For the present, I will stay here to be with poor father Smarr. He is eighty one and so broken up. The girls and are lonely oh. so lonely and 1 do wish some of the Carlisle friends would write to us. Just address us at Higginsville, Mo.
 Mrs. Smarr's friends deeply sympathize with her in her sor rows and it is hoped that she may receive comfort in letters from some of her many Carlisle friends and acquaintances.
