Premier Clemenceau rested well during the night after his ezertions yesterday. which caused considers ble anxiety to his physicians and family. During the day he saw 40 persons.
 All the physicians agreed that the action of the premier's lungs should be reduced as much as possible as movement causes the edges of the wound to rub against each other. The only way oe eftecting this was an in 5ection of morphine, which no one cared to propose to the premier, fore seeing how he would receive the sug- Festion. At last Dr. Laubry volun- tserod says the Petit Journal. He ap- pealed to the premier as a ''brother doctor" but Nj. Clemenceau sprang rp. seized the physician by the shoul- ders and shouted: What, what, morphine, morphine, you want to finish me? Are you !r the pay of the Bolsheviki?"
 pr. Laubry threw up his hands and said: There you are. We want to give your chest rest and you nearly burst it.7

DEMAND FOR IRELAND SEL-FI- DETERMINATION Want Same Right As That Given to Other Small
 Nations. 5000 ATTEND
 CONVENTION Friends of Irish Freedom Meet In Philadel-
 phia.

Philadelphia, Feb. 22-The right of the Irish to liberty was emphasiz- ed by the Very Rev. Peter E. Ma gannis, of New York, president Of the Friends of Irish Freedom in an address at the opening today of the convention of the Irish race.
 The purpose of the convention is to demand for Ireland the right of self deter1nin nation, such as has been given to Poland. Czecho-SIovakia and oth- CT small nations. It will adjourn to- morrow. Five thousand delegates are meeting in the largest National Guard arn4ory in the city.
 Dr. Magannis, who is assistant general of the Carmelite order. said:
 '-The work before the convention of the Irish race is of supreme i'm portance. Every day. every hour, nay, every moment, must be offered up on the altar of that country's freedom. Outside Ireland itself, the solution of the problem that is so near to our heart lies in America.
 Tor almost two years America ceased her gigantic strides to pros perity and directed her steps to the bloody fields of Flanders. During all that time the voice of the great Presi- dent of this republic was ringing through the world announcing the glad doctrine of the freedom of all small nationalities the EouI-stirring principles of a worldwide democ- racy.
 Hence the aIl-inportant work of this convention is to ascer tain-Did she turn away from her prosperous career and direct her steps to blood 5 that nations should be free and that racy? Did the voice of our great President ring true or did it ring with doubtful tone when he told the listen ing world the principles that have made America the great and prosper ous land she undoubtedly is?
 We have wept enough for Ireland; we have fioried sufficiently in Ireland, now our duty to to work for Ireland, and to work in such 3 way that the world shall understand that our work is the work of men who could die for Ireland"
 Justice Daniel F. Cohalan, of the New York Supreme Court, said that unless the doctrine of self determina- ton be applied to Ireland, there can be no just and permanent peace coming out of the work of the Peace Conference.
 When our great President laid down the fourteen points upon which peace was to be made, a just, dur able and permanent peace said Jus tice Cohalan. "he placed no restric- tions upon the application Of those doctrines. He said that self determi- nation was to be given to all peoples without condition or qualification. If now that doctrine is to be applied only to those peoples who were op pressed by the countries that were in arms against America, then our struggles will have been largely in vain, and no just or permanent peace
