Dublin, May 12.-If the indignant
Irish unionists believe the Ameri-
can delegates, Messrs. Walsh, Dunno
and Ryan, are not assured of their
position in Ireland or that they
may blunder into situation leading
to their deportation, they widely
miss their guess.
After an all night trip from Lon
don, accompanying Frank +. Walsh
chairman of the mission to Dublin,
l am in position 10 say that the
delegates have assurances from the
highest sources safeguarding their
every step; else they would hardly
have dared to venture upon this ex-
traordinary mission, now assuming
not only parliamentary proportions,
but an International aspect.
Apostles of Freedom.
| For it is indeed an extraordinary
position the delegates hold. Each
day they remain in Ireland they are
heightening the Sim Fein en-
thusiasm, already near boiling pitch.
Devotees are travelling by cart or by
foot for many miles, maintaining all
night vigils, just to get a glimpse
of the unofficial American apostles
of Irish freedom.
| No Irishman could dare to do
what these delegates are doing with
out hindrance. Yet Mr.. Walsh,
who acts as sort Of diplomatic ad-
wiser to his associates is letting the
impetuous Mr.. Ryan do most of the
speechmaking, has the canniest idea
just where the danger lies and just
how far certain safeguards received
in Paris will carry the delegation.
1 think that, being Irish the
humor of the situation appeals to
all three. They know they have
given the most tremendous impetus
to the Sim Fem movement since
the Easter rebellion and they appre-
ciate the wrath which they are find
ing on all sides. The unionist at
tacks in Parliament do not hurt
them. And last, but by no means
least, they love a fight.
Believe in Dominion Move.
Perhaps it is not letting the pro-
verbal cat out of the bag to say that
if the delegates talk loudly in behalf
of complete independence Of the
Irish republic, they are overstating
the demands. They have shrewd
belief that Lloyd George is deter
mined to inaugurate dominion
movement for Ireland.
The demonstration in Limerick,
only recently dominated by tanks
and steel helmets, was almost hys-
terical. When Messrs. Dunno and
Ryan entered Limerick they found
the city hung with American Aass
and the republican green, white and
gold. Detachments of Irish volun-
teers guarded the approaches to the
city hall where the freedom of the
city was given the delegates in the
afternoon. People from County
Clare had walked all night to be
present. Archbishop Cassel sent
letter expressing his regrets that he
could not come.
at was the outpouring of deliv-
cred city's heart" said Governor
Dunno to the correspondent after
wards.
Meanwhile the Dublin unionists
have adopted a resolution expressing
grave concern" at the presence of
the three Americans in Ireland and
asserting that they are "defying the
authority of the crown"
According to an Associated Press
dispatch from Dublin, the three

Irish Americans Believe
Dominion Move Under Way
American Delegates Now In Emerald Isle Voice
Opinion That Lloyd George Is Determined to In
augurate Dominion Move for Ireland-Defy At
tacks of Unionists.

American delegates-Messrs. Walsh,
Dunno and Ryan-visited the Sim
Fem prisoners in Mount Jay prison
and later called on Archbishop
Walsh.
At a reception rendered them by
the lord mayor, members of the
corporations wishing the Ameri-
cans success in their efforts to
secure Irish freedom. Mr.. Ryan,
replying. said he believed the United
States meant when it entered the
war that all peoples should have the
right to determine the government
under which they lived.
The Irish people, he continued,
had selected their own form of gov
ernment and it would come-per-
haps in six months, perhaps within
a year.

WINTER WHEAT
in NEBRASKA IN
/, Good CONDITION
Only Part Of State Where
Crop Is Damaged Is On
Lincoln Division Of
Burlington.

The ,Burlington's Nebraska crop
report for the week ending last
Saturday shows the winter wheat
to be in the pink of condition ey-
erywhere in the state with the ex-
Nception of over limited area on
the Lincoln division. There heavy
rains have flooded some of the low
lands and considerably damaged
the crop. AS result the estimated
percentage of condition has dropped
from 102 to IS per cent.
On the Lincoln division during
the last week the precipitation
ranged from two to six inches.
Wheat conditions at the end OF
last week, compared with one week
previous, on the basis of 100 per
cent for an average crops are:

TREES AND SHRUBS FOR PARK
Those That Produce coIored Fruits
Should Always Be Given Prefer
ence, for Ms.y Reasons.

The guiding principle in park plan
ming should be beauty, but it should
not be q temporary or one-seasonal
beauty. Hence it follows that shrubs
and trees which produce colored fruits,
and retain them for long periods, are
preferable to plants whose chief deco
rative contribution is q short burst
of bloom. Such Shrubs are hand
somer at all times after Towering and
are particularly valuable in winter
when every bit Of color in the land
scape is precious. They are yalua-
BILE moreover in supplying bird food.
A few suggestions as to the use OF
fruit-producing plants are not out Of
place. The ideal American park is
natural woodland, modified and embel-
lished, or a planting that follows nat
ural lines. Informal treatment is al
most universally preferred to formal.
from the standpaint of bird attraction
this is fortunate, since Clipping shrubs
either prevents or reduces the pro-
duction Of fruit and causes the plants
to form such solid and dense sur
faces that they are uninviting to
birds. .y.y....;'

proper ReceptacIs for Rubbish.

We are all agreed that dust, dirt,
garbage and other rubbish should be
kept as far as possible from the dwell
ing house. yet it is surprising how often
VIC find the rubbish receptacle as close
as possible to the doors and windows OF
the house. 1t is to be regretted that in
so many towns these receptacles are
open wood boxes, pals or old baths.
We find a grand selection, but it is q
difficult matter to secure the provision
of q proper bin, and the official often
does not obtain the support he should.
If only we could press upon the people
the necessity to secure for themselves
o proper galvanized bin with cover,
which appears to me to be the most
satisfactory if properly used !-Archi-
tect and Contract Reporter.

Wood Resists Fire.

The f1re-resistive quality Of wood Is
shown in a recent issue of Scientific
American, which discusses the advan-
tages of wood block floors for indus
trial purposes. The article states that
there have been many instances where
crucibles overturned and molten metal
poured out upon the blocks with little
damage. In a recent fire which de-
stroyed pier No. 20 at Philadelphia and
warped and twisted the structural
steel, the creosoted block floors were
only slightly charreG.

PRESERVE THINGS OF BEAUTY
Citizen Loyal to His Home Town Will
Constitute Himself Guardian OF
Other Peoples Property.

People are often wantonly deStruc-
tive with what costs them nothing.
It's q vicious habit that tears out q
plant by the roots when all that's de-
sired is the flower. That's bad enough
in the woods where Gods bounty pro-
duces in riotous profusion. But even
there rare specimens are found and
the species may be easily destroyed.
The same barbarlty practiced near
mans home is contemplate. For a
passing whim you destroy for your
self and him the thing that gives you
pleasure. You are in meaner class
than the fellow who killed the goose
that laid the golden egg. He was a
fool for destroying what was his own.
Iou are all he was and more besides,
for you take in addition what does not
belong to you.
The loyal citizen becomes guardian
Of other peoples property. The more
he can encourage his neighbor the
more attractive will his property be-
come and the more beautiful the en-
yironment in which he will live. And
you will help enjoy it. Without cost
to you there will be created a COM
munity beauty that will uplift humani-
ty. His lawn and flowers should be-
come dear to you and you should help
him defend them. This is no whim OF
an enthusiast. It's law that's old as
the decalogue. If you aren't sure
about it take the old book off by your
self and look it up. You may show
your ignorance if you do it in COM
pany. And if such a thing was
recognized law in those distant bar
barous days it surely is more so now.
He who deliberately despoils for
passing qualification is not citizen
worthy Of the present century Penn
sylvania Grit.

and as the auto came to stop Jack
asked if he might call the following
evening. Grace readily consented, and
as he helped her from the auto, again
the soft hand pressed hers and the
two laughed heartily.
Needless to say, Jacks sweater was
soon finished, and it was not long until
Grace had said eyes" to that all-im-
portant question.
When Jack spoke Of the customary
engagement diamond, Grace, beaming
with delight, said: "Jack, dear, have
a wonderful surprise for you. Some
thing better than diamonds. I have
chosen-a Liberty bond is what wish
for an engagement gift"
"You dear grill" exclaimed Jack, as
he affectionately embraced her, show
did you come to think of that?"
"Well," replied Grace, "you know
the Liberty Loan parade was instru-
mental in reuniting US, and while the
whole country is conserving I thought
we should do our bit too"
"Well done," said Jack. "It shall
be as you wish"
The next morning he presented her
with a S100 Liberty bond. Proudly
Grace hastened to share her joy with
her mother, who profusely compliments
ed them On their patriotism, and today
all three are planning for a mayfoWer
wedding.

Keep After the Weeds.

Weeds result not only in big financial
loss but also In great annoyance. Dis
eases, such as hay fever, could be
eliminated almost entirely by adopting
efficient methods for controlling the
incidental weeds found along roadsides,
in vacant fields, and in waste places.

at night it felt as if the bed was go
