Warns Of Atomic Energy
Use Would Endanger World,
Saws Sir Oliver Lodge

BIRMINGHAM, England, Sept. IT
(By The Associated Press Sir Oliver
Lodge, the eminent scientist, in an ad-
dress to-day at Midland Institute, in
connection with memorial ceremonies
held on the occasion OF the Tooth ami
versary Of the death Of James Watt,
inventor of the condensing steam en-
ginc, again touched upon the subject
OF atomic properties of matter.
Sir Oliver declared that if the
atomic energy of an ounce of matter
could be utilized it would be sufficient
to raise the German ships sunk in the
Scapa Flow and pile them on top Of
the Scottish mountains. He said, how
ever, that he hoped the human race
would not discover how to use this
energy until it had brains and morality
enough to use it properly, because if
the discovery were made before its
time and by the wrong people this
planet would be unsafe.
John W. Davis, the American Am
bassador, attended the ceremony.

Wilson's Ar,s,uers Fail
To Satisfy De Valera

None of the four questions asked
President Wilson in San Francisco yes
terday concerning the status of Ireland
and other subject nationalities under
the league covenant is pertinent to the
present situation in ireland, Eamonn de
Valera, ".president of the Irish repub-
lie said yesterday.
Mr.; de Valera said he had received
this list of questions on September G
and had Immediately informed the San
Francisco Labor Council that "they did
not meet the Irish issue-that they
were beside the point"
The tlrst question is not correctly
framed to deal with the subject at
hand, Mr.. de Valera said He added
that Ireland would have been served
better if it had been asked this wav:
Under the covenant is America
obliged to join in preventing outside
assistance being given to nation in
revolt against alien rule when the
alien ruling state is a member of the
Lacquer"
Fears British Pressure
"The point in Article x" continued
Mr.. De Valera, "is not that American
forces would be pledged directly
against lrishmen and Ireland, but that
they would, if England demanded it.
be used against any other nation that
might decide to assist lreland-for ex-
ample, against France or Spain or
China or Russia or any other state or
people that might, on grounds of hu-
manity or other grounds, SO decide"
The second question Mr. De Valera
finds too indefinite to ne of any value
To make it specific, he says. there
should be added this phrase. "Despite
the protests of the member of the
league from which the government ap-
peallng for recognition had won itself
free"
The question concerning whether
subject nations or peoples not mem
toned in the peace treaty are entitled
to the right to self determination Mr.
De Valera seems to consider utterly
vain.
"The point is" he said. commenting
on this, "tkat the right of national self
determination is in no way recognized
IN the proposed Foundation for the
league and there is no guarantee of any
sort that it will be recognized when the
league Is established.
Against Americas Aims"
"The good offices under Article XII of
an interested third nation will be help
lesss against the determined refusal of
the tyrant nation to allow the matter
to be considered"
Commenting on President Wilson's as
sertion that the case of Ireland was not
heard at the peace conference because
the conference had jurisdiction only over
territories belonging to defeated en-
pres, Mr.. De Valera said:
The narrowing down and Limitation
of the peace conference to matters as
affected territories belonging to the de-
teated empires was altogether out of
accord with the war aims of America as
enumerated by the President and the
professions of the Entente statesmen
during the war"

Starvation Threatens City
The Jugo -Slavs, according to Laibach

have cut off all supplies from Fiume,
which is threatened with starvation, as
there is little food in the town and
none will be obtainable unleg1 sent in

The Jugo-SlaV papers report that
few days before the raid on Fiume the
Italians landed heavy guns there,
which were not used against dan
nunzio's troops and are now in dan

wives of Italian officers in Fiume were
warned by the Italian commander to
leave town and many went aboard the
Italian ships in the harbor.
According to advices direct from
Fiume, the first received here since the
departure from that city of the British
military mission, British troops in the
city were jeered and Kissed by the
population as they marched to their
warships. They embarked safely, how
