constituted" got into full swing to-
day.
Letters and kilograms are being re-
coived from all parts of the United

of the movement and of the sentiment
expressed by speakers at the organi-
zation meeting, it was announced.
The initial gathering was attended

peatedly applauded the pleas to re-
sist the efforts now being made to
curtail the sovereignty of the United
States. The speakers were United
States Senators William T.. Borah, of
Idaho: James A. Reed. of Missouri,
and Charles S. Thomas, of Colorado,
former Senator James A. O'Gorman,
of New York, and George Wharton
Pepper. of Philadelphia.
Senator Borah declared that the
constitution of the proposed league
of nations as Off cially announced was
contrary to American traditions and
principles and to the Constitution of
the United States"
Senator Reed denounced the league
of nations constitution as "a thing
repugnant to democracy, since 1t pur-
ported to create an autocracy such
as the world has never seen before"

nant for its plain purpose of over
riding the Constitution of the United

a workable arrangement might be
devised which would not imperil the
republic.
Mr.. Pepper denounced what he
termed as the tendency of the advo-
Gates of the league of nations plan
to assail with abuse all those who
disagree. He expressed the opinion
that the fate of the league would be
settled as soon as the country under
stands what the proposal implies
Mr. O'Gorman held that the United
States is now asked TO become a de-
tendency of European and Asiatic
nations, TO haul down the stars and
Stripes, and conhde the destiny of
the country to foreign nations.

SINN FEINER THREATENS
Can Stop Ratification Of Peace in U.
S. Congress.


Paris, March IA. P)-If the
Irish question is not settled by the
peace conference, friends Of Ireland
will stop ratifications of the league
OF nations in the American congress.
Sean O'Ceallaigh John O'Kelly) the
delegate Of the provisional Irish re-
public to the peace conference, de-
clared in a statement today.
I'VE can stop ratification of the
league of nations in congress il the
Irish question is not settled" the
Irish delegate declared. .'It Is my
opinion there will be no league OF
nations; at any rate there will be nc
peace in Europe because Ireland will
fight and the world knows that Ire
land can fight.
1--WE believe we arc powerful
enough in America to make president
Wilson enforce the principles out
lined in his peace plan concerning
the rights of nations to dispose of
themselves. We have pleaded and
spoken gently to him long enough.
The time has come for acts"
O'Ceallaigh added that no reply
had been received from the members
Of the peace delegation, asking that
lreland'S case be heard, except n
simple acknowledgment from Gen.
Bliss. He added:
THE others failed to grant me the
courtesy usually bestowed by gentle
men when receiving a letter, even
from beggars. and God knows we are
not beggars."
O'Ceallaigh, who is a small man OF
energetic appearance, spoke without
elation but without bitterness, con-
cerning the amnesty granted to Sim
Feiners in England, saying:
at is not too soon. These men have
been in jail for nine and one half
months without a charge being made
against them. England was the last
of the belligerent countries to grant
amnesty to political prisoners. 1t is
not a record to be proud Of"

Having thus. in a word. revealed
his ambition for a career above
courts, marts and polling booths
George brea.hed more deeply than
usual, and, turning his face from
the lovely companion whom he had
just made his conhdant. gazed out at
the dancers with an expression In
which there was both sternness and
contempt for the squaiid lives Of the
unyachted Nidlanders before him.
However, among them he marked his
mother, and his somber grandeur re-
Taxed momentarily; a more genial
light came into his eyes.
Isabel was dancing with the queer
looking duck; and it was to be noted
that the lively gentleman's gait was
