PRESIDENT OF IRELAND" EXPECTS NO TROUBLE WITH AMERICAN GOVT
 AS RESULT OF HIS ARRIVAL HERE
De Valera Says He Will De- vote His Time to Interest ing People With Actual
 Conditions in Erin's Isle.

New York, June 24.-Eamonn de Valera, "president of the Irish repub- lc,' declared today that he anticipat- ed no trouble with the American gov ernment over his appearance here. When I came here." he said '.I had all the intention of observing the laws of a government of the people, by the people and for the people," He added that "an lrishman will only refuse to obey the laws imposed upon him in his country by a foreign power.'
 These statements were made when newspaper dispatches quoting Wash ington advices that De Valera would have to observe the laws of the coun- try in making his appeal for the Irish republic was called to his attention. 1T am certain that the American peo- pie will not stand for any interference by British tools.'
 Makes Formal Statement
 In formal statement MT. De Val era said:
 '"The Irish desire the closest possible political and ommercial relations with the people of America. I have come here at the request of the elect ed government of the Irish people to endeaVOr to establish those relations. I was selected because the sending of the nations chief representative would mark in a conspicuous manner the esteem which the Irish people hold for the people of America. My per sonal connection with this country and my known affection for it were additional considerations.
 My presence here also cannot fail to remind the people of America that in Ireland there is set up govern ment elected by the democratic and peaceful machinery of ballot, answer able to the will of the Irish people but kept in suppression and prevented from functiOning by the armed vigil anCe of England. It cannot fail to re- mind them that in their nearest neigh Dor in Europe already only 6 hours distant, there is established an auto cratic military despOtiSm which out ragas every principle for which Amer ica entered the recent war and that in document which the people of America are to be asked to set the seal of their approval it is now proposed to maintain this despotism in perpetuity.
 While here I shall endeavor, in so far as I may do so within your laws, to call the attention of the people of America, irrespective of party or divi- SiOns to these facts.''

British Score Germans.

London, June 24.-Profound dis trust of Germany is the predominant note in London press comments on the German governments decision to sign the treaty of peace. It is contended the Germans proved themselves treacherous throughout the war the latest instance being the sinking of their fleet in Scapa Flow, and there fore, it would be premature to cele- brate until the treaty is actually signed. Even afterwards, it. is said the Allies must be continually on guard until the last penalty is paid.
 ''All evidence shows that the revvo- tuition has not changed the German pnisconception of national honor," says Bone commentator.

Witness Tells How She Hired
 Six Priests For One Fun
 eral-Buys Flowers in Winter to Put on Grave.

MiddletoWn, June 24.-More than 30 witnesses for the defense were on hand today when the trial of Mrs. Amy E. Archer Gilligan, charged with the murder of Franklin R. Andrews, was resumed before Judge Keeler.
 The defendants sister, Mrs. Mary Homehan, of Thomaston, testified a , to insanity in the family saying that she considered herself and two other sisters sane. There was nothing the matter with her father and mother, but uncles and cousins had shown mental incapacity, in her opinion. She said Mrs. Gilligan had shown many peculiarities. She was very extrava- gant. She had bought many silk dresses for her daughter Mary and were not used. When MT. Gilligan died, the widow engaged 25 or 30 carriages, and had six priests at the church service. She also had planned to build mausoleum.
 Many Peculiar Acts.
 When Mrs. Gilligan's mother and father, and witness, lived up Litch- field way, Mrs. Gilfigan had sent up great quantities of canned goods. She recalled ten pound box of red pep per, and a case of tomato catsup. At another time she ordered extensive repairs made in the farm house cost ing about $1,70O but those at home had to pay the bills. Mrs. Gilligan also spoke of her income and claimed to be wealthy. Once, in mid winter, she bought $25 worth of cut flowers to lay on the grave of MT. Archer the first husband. Mrs. GiIligan also was inclined to have imaginary conversa- tions over the telephone.
 On cross examination by MT. AL corn the witness said she did not tell of these things before because she had had trouble enough.
 Frank Harrington, a plumber and undertaken of Windsor, had known Mrs. Gilligan 12 years. He had thought her irrational at times. He had noticed one peculiarity and that was when she went to a funeral she had a carriage for herself and also an empty carriage.

Battle Flags Are Meant.

Presumably the foregoing re- fers 70 French battle flags taken by the Germans in the war of 1870-71. Article 245 of the peace treaty, in the original drad,s stipulated that within six months after the treaty should take effect Germany must restore to France the trophies, works of art, etc, carried from France by the Ger man authorities in the Franco Prussian war, particularly the French flags taken in the course of the war of 1870-71. .s
 Expect to Name Delegation.
 Weimar, June 23, (By Associated Press. )-The German delegation toI sign the peace treaty probably will be- named tonight or tomorrow. a <
 Before the national assembly voted today to sign the peace terms uncon-l ditionally, fiery appeals in opposition were made by the democrats and con- servatives but they apparently had little effect. When the vote was called all but few members rose to signify their affirmation of the government decision to sign. When the vote waSs taken gloom appeared to descend on the assembly. The most vigorous op-4 ponents of signing were speechless and seemed to accept the inevitable with resignation.
 Many Wild RUmors.
 Many wild rumorS of what would happen when it became known the as- sembly had voted almost unanimously to accept the terms gained currency. One that appeared to get most sup port was that all the officers of the German army would resign if the government did not refuse 10 surren- der German leaders, especially Field Marshal von Hindcnburg and Gen. cral LudendOrff, and defy the Allies to seize the former emperor. In military circles a strong insistenCe has devel- oped that the former emperor is inno- cent and that under no circumstances must he be placed on trial except in a neutral court
 In some quarters the threat of the officers to resign was taken most seri- ously on the ground that such action might pave the way for a Spartacan and Communist uprising throughout. the country.
