IRISH COME TO DEFENSE
or IRISH SERVICES IN
AMERICAN RENOL IVI0N

Washington, oct. 2l-The Irish Ma
tioral Bureau here today made public
a letter from Michael j. O'Brien, his.
Photographer Of the American Irish His.
torical Society New York, to Senator
Williams, in which reply was made TO
the senator's attack ON the Irish in the
senate last week.
Referring to Senator Williams state
ment that he had received "thrcaten-
ing letters" Mr.. O'Brien said that if
any Irshmon were responsible for them
they do not represent genuine Irish
feeling and suggested that the let
ters originated with enemies of ireland.
Taking up the senator's assertion
that the Irish had exaggerated the part
their race played in the revolutionary
war, Mr.. O'Brien quoted from official
documents in the government archives
in London. Photographic copies Of
which he said he enclosed to show
that the British commanders in the
revolutionary war regarded the Irish
in America as their most serious an
tagonists." He also said he had found
abundant evidence to show that Irish
soldiers in the British army took every
opportunity of deserving t1 the rebels,
and added that he had found that at
least IS per cent the American army
of liberty were OF Irish birth or of Irish
descent

MlLESTER CONSIST0RN OF
MiSONS TO BUILD LARGE
D0RMITORN AT OKLAHOMA [

Norman. Okla, oct. 2l.-The Nc
Alester consistory of Scottish Rite Ma
sons of Oklahoma has voted 800 600
to construct dormitory for children
of Masons near Il campus of the Uni
versity OF OklahO.....
According to plans the building will
front on two streets and be divided
into two parts, one for boys and the
other for girls. II will be large enough
to house from 100 to 125 students.
Children from the Masonic home at
Darlington, when they are old enough
to attend the university, would occupy
the dormitory, as well as children Of
Masons throughout the state.
The plan was worked out by II, l..
Mudrow, prominent Norman Mason, in
cooperation with Stratton y. Brooks
president of the university MuldroW
is a member Of the university board
of regents. His idea is to help relieve
crowded conditions in student quarters
at the university as well as provide a
home.like place for Masonic boys and
girls here.
This is the second large dormitory
proposed for Norman. South Me
thodist women of the state are plan
ming a 100000 girls building. The
Episcopal church now has small
girls dormitory here known as King
Hall.

# TOO Thin TRY
B|TRO-PHOSPHATE

While excessive thinness might be at
tributed to various and subtle causes in
different individuals, it is a well-known
fact that the lack of phosphorous in
the human system is very largely re
sponsiblc for this condition.
1t seems to be well established that
this deficiency in PHOSPHORUS may now
be met by the use Of Btro.Phosphate
which can be obtained from any good
druggist in convenient tablet form.
In many instances the assimilation of
this phosphophate by the nerve tissue
soon produces welcome change
nerve tension disappears, vigor and
strength replace weakness and lack Of
energy and the whole body loses its
ugly hollows and abrupt angles, becom-
ing enveloped in a glow of perfect
health and beauty and the will and
strength to be up and doing
CAUTION: - While Bitro.Phosphate
is unsurpassed for the relief Of ner-
vousness general debility, etc. those
taking it who do not desire to put on
flesh should use extra care in avoiding
fat-producing foods.

General Who" 4 state officer who
was standing near is alleged TO have
queried.
General Disability, the gentleman
from Springfield" Colonel Phelps, ira
dition says, replied.
\ few minutes after that a couple of
legislators, one a senator, the other a
representative, are said to have met the
gentleman from Springfield' in the
main rotunda of the old capitol build
ing, and to have greeted him with an
affable Good morning, General"
The story goes that the gentleman
thus greeted and addressed Immediately
scented perspective similar to that
worn by u pouter pigeon at mating
time
"By George said the house member,
speaking to the senator did you see
that? did YOU note how his chest ex.
panded?"
by CAD, did, sub, replied the sen.
ator
And then it was that these two are
said to have conferred together and to-
eether to have devised and hatched the
scheme which resulted i'm a joint and
concurrent resolution being introduced
simultaneously in the senate and the
house, declaring Emett Newton to be,
by the grace of God and act of the
Missouri legislature, a General"
And General" Newton he has been
ever since.
Inconsistency Of Senator Lodge
Mr.. Heflin quoted from speech Of
Senator Lodge made in 1915, wherein
the latter advocated treaty of peace
embodyinG a League of Nations, to pre-
vent future wars. He also told Of a
sudden backing up Of this distinguish
ed senator when he saw what he
thought was a chance to play politics"
through advising republican senators
not to commit themselves upon the
treaty, or the league, until after they
could have a party caucus. The con
gresham say in this movement an ef-
fort to make the issue a political one
with which they hoped to win and elect
n republican president, a republican
house and a republican senate at the
next election.
Not q Political Issue
Mr. Hefin stated that the question
of the League of Nations should not be
political one that if the people only
knew what the president had to endure
these trying times, tasks that would
nave killed an ordinary man and which
had placed him ON a bed Of pain at
this time, they would ariSo in their
might ana relegate the filibustcrs to OBJ
livion, ana predicted that this was just
what was going to happen, as soon as
the people had voice in selecting men
to fiji the offices now held by the OBJ.
structonists.
These men the speaker said ARE
gradually realizing that the task they
have undertaken is getting too big for
them and they are trying their best to
get rid Of it as gracefully as possible;
it is too hot for them and they want to
let go"
