TO WILSON ATTITUDE

About Ireland?" Question Is
Uppermost in Minds of Irish
Politicians; Have Hope.

Dublin, March 1o.-"Will Wilson do
anything about Ireland?" Is the ques
tion uppermost in the minds of Irish
politicians. partielarly the Sim Fem
ers, today.
Thus far the republicans have been
bitterly disappointed at President Will
sons silence to their appeals. On the
other hand, the few surviving Irish
Nationalist politicians of any impor-
tance see in the presidents action some
hope for the revival of their party.
John Dillon, leader of the NATIONAL
lists, said:
THE day is not far distant when
the country will awaken to the great
mistake made by the majority of Ma
tionalists at the recent elections In vot-
ing for the Republicans, and 1t will
fall back on the parliamentary or con-
stitutional policy pursued so long by
the late John Redmond"
The Sim Feiners, however, have not
yet lost hope of Wilsonian interven-
tion, according to Jerry Boland. NJ. p.

Preliminary Peace Treaty Prob

quiring Germanyto Turn Men
Responsible Over to Allies.
UNABLE TO FIND WAY TO
LAND KAISER WILHELM YET
May Suggest That Germany Try
to Obtain His Removal From
Holland; Some Wish Kaiser
Branded as World Criminal.
By FRED S. FERGUSON.

Paris, March 10.-The preliminary
peace treaty 1T was learned today,
probably will include clause requir-
ing Germany to turn over all officials
found responsible for war crimes, to
be tried by an international tribunal.
While the responsibilities committee
is not expected to complete its report
for several days. it is understood a
decision has practically been reached
in this regard
TO BRAND WILHELM.
Regarding the former kaiser, the
committee is expected to find that he
cannot be legally extradited, also that
1t will be difficult to determine his
personal responsibility for the crimes
charged against him. A suggestion has
been made, however, that the Germans
themselves will try to obtain his re-
moval from Holland. If there is no
other alternative, it is understood an
international indictment will be pub
lished, branding Wilhelm as the worlds
greatest criminal, his punishment be-
ing limited to this historical docu-
ment.

WINDY CITY INHABITANTS
WORRIED BY APPEARANCE
OF MYSTERIOUS DISEASE

Form of Infantile Paralysis.

Chicago, March 10.-The first fatality
among Is cases of illness resembling
sleeping sickness was reported here to-

ease have been reported in Chicago.
One arousing especial interest was
that of Miss Lydia Dray. Evanston.

the last Is days. A consultation was
to be held over her today.
John d. Robertson, health commits
sioner, said so per cent of the physi-
clans who had /seen the new ailment
believed it form of infantile par
alysis.
"The real sleeping sickness exists
only in Africa since the fly carrying
the disease can live nowhere but there.
Another proof that this Is not sleeping
sickness Is that the disease is always
fatal, while recoveries from lethargic
encephalitis are a rule" Robertson
said.

DELEGATES FROM
TEN NATIONS TO
DISCUSS LEAGUE
Covenant to Be Gone Over,
Clarified, Amended and
Strengthened by Representa-
tives; Will Meet in London.

London, March 10-The league of
nations covenant will come up for dis
cussion by representatives of millions
of its supporters here tomorrow.
The discussion will take place at a
conference of delegates Of various
league of nations societies from ten
countries.
Resolutions will be drafted, aiming
to amend, clarity and strengthen the
constitution. These resolutions will
be presented to the peace conference in
the form of recommendations. 1t is
planned to have the program complet-
ed before President Wilson arrives in
Paris.
Premier Venizelos of Greece, Pre-
mier Passhitch of Serbia and several
other officials of the peace conference
will attend. The American represen-
tatives will be Arthur Kuhn, Oscar
Strauss, Hamilton Holt and Mrs.
Fanny E. Andrews.
"The meeting probably win take up
the section of the covenant with
which France already has declared she
Is dissatisfied" Kuhn told the United
Press.
I'VE want to see Frances security
guaranteed, but not to the extent OF
formulating laws which would auto
matically send the United States to
war in case some member of the
league were attacked, or would force
America to maintain permanently a
large army force on the frontier OF
freedom"
1--WE may try to clarity the coven-
ant regarding some of the objections
raised by senators especially the
clause covering a nation undertaking
to go to war. This might be subject
to several interpretations and we hope
to make it clear that the meeting was
held in London instead of Paris for
the purpose of getting away from the
peace conference and the atmosphere
of officialdom. We wanted q new en-
Nironment which would give us a
broader version. There was no fric-
ton with the French. That is evident
from the fact that Sena ar Bourgeois
will attend the meetings"

American soldiers and sailors aided by
Canadians and Australians clashed
with London policemen.
There was a disposition to feel that
both the police and soldiers were at
fault, the former in exceeding their
authority and the latter in taking mat
ters into their own hands. The trouble
started when policemen interrupted a

tators. The players themselves were
said to have escaped. A great crowd
of soldiers and sailors marched to the
Bow street Jail and demanded the pris-
oners be released. Policemen charged
into the demonstrators. Clubs We're

injured. Military police were called
out. After two hours intermittent
fighting, order was restored.

SUPPLIES NECESSARY.

Foreign Minister Pichon in his week
ly conference with correspondents said
the allies recognized the necessity for
sending supplies into Germany know
ing that hunger would breed disorders
and act adversely to the allies own
interest. He said the allies took the
position that they We're ready to sup
ply food and find the cessary credits
but that the Germans must first de-
clare themselves ready to carry out the
terms of the armistice and hand over
their ships.
Pichon said the union of German
Austria and Germany cannot be ac-
complished until 1t is ratified by the
peace conference. This, he said, was
doubtful.
The conference is making such rapid
progress. according to Pichon, that def
mite conclusions probably will be
reached earlier than seemed possible
two weeks ago.
