Liam Mellowes Stirs Resent

PRESIDENT Is KISSED
Note Of Discord First Struck
by Chairman Of Meeting at
Lexington Opera House.

John d. Moore and Liam Nfsilowes
Just about ruined the Jeremiah oLesry
reception at the Lexington Opera House
last night. In the first place Chairman
Moore made the horrible faux pas Of
Introducing Mellowes not only a. q
member of the British Psriiament--that
would have been bad enough-but as
two members of that ancient but not
highly popular body.
OF course Liam repudiated the sfur

that he had been elected from both
districts, not to attend Parliament but
to stay away from It, but the damage
was done and Commandant Mellowss

plained) proceeded to make 1t worse.
In fact his speech was Just one indis-
erection after another.
He began by saying that the Irish
were very fond of throwing bouquets
at themselves-it Is an Irish habit, he
said and then he proceeded to make q
few remarks about the Irish in America
that were not at all Of q fiowery nature.
! THE Irish race in America" he said.
forgot Ireland" That statement and
his elaboration Of II made no special hit
with the audience, and then he pro-
ceeded to go into further particulars.
The pulpit, he said. forgot ireland, too,
more shame to 1t. That brought very
little applause from the dozen or 90
gentlemen in Roman collars who occu-
pied seats on the stage and in the boxes
and 1t brought q whispered suggestion
or word Of protest or something. soto
voce. from the chairman to the speaker
One Buu After Another.
But the indomitable Mellowes went
right on to the worst indiscretion Of all
He actually referred to Irishmen who
had left ireland to escape British tyr
amy being drafted.
Who ever heard OF an Irishman being
drafted? Shades OF the Sixty-ninth
Shades too Of the thousands who couldn'

made UP q majority Of most OF tho othel
guard regiments that marched AVA,
from their armories when the draf

right in the front row too
Chairman Moore made another and
more vigorous tug at the speakers Goa
tails and It's safe to say that Liam
Mellowes will never again be q hero 4
the New York element of his race. Evel
jeremiah OLeary didn't look worry en-
thusiastic and he led the applause 70
all the other speakers So with the part
ing cry that what was needed in thi
country was more Sim Fein, not onl.
Sim Fein for ireland but Sim Fein 70

II was too bad. In the FIRST placs

preliminary meetings for the Peace Con-
ference are occurring in Paris, division
Of opinion should exist in Italy concern
ing the Dalmatian question, especially
when all parties should be united TO
make clear to the conference italian as
pirations.
The strongest party Is headed by
Baron Sonnino. who insists on the en-
forcement OF the treaty OF London; !;
namely, Italian occupation OF Dalma-
tia. The smaller one, which is led by
ex-Minister Bissolati. favors the occu-
patton of Fiume, but is ready to cede
Dalmatia to the Jugo-Slavs.
Blssolati belongs to the Socialist fac
tion favorable to the war. When italy
entered the conflict he volunteered as
common soldier, entered an Alpine regi-
ment, fought bravely, was wounded and
decorrte ted. He was very popular His
popularity, however, has been diminish
ing owing to the inlexible stand he is
taking over Dalmatia. This caused him
to hand In his resignation as Minister
of Pensions just before President Will
sons arrival in Rome. owing to his dlf-
ference of opinion with Sonnino. tire
Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Popular indignation reached climax
when Bissolatl, in his speech In Milan.
set forth his opinion that Italy must
not claim the Bremen pass or Dalmatia.
The popular rage was so great that the
audience would not allow him TO con-
tinue his speech, while the Whole press.
including his own following, attacked
him most violently.

Paris, Jan 15.-Apart from the re-

of food supply and the procedure OF the
Peace Conference, perhaps tho most
Interesting matter Of discussion Monday
was the developments arising out of the
British proposals regarding Russia and
the French reply to them as disclosed bF

In some quarters there Is n DISPOSE
tion to regard the situation thus ere

made on the League of Nations proposal
The disappointment felt by the British
was particularly keen, but the edge has
been taken off IL. to a large extent. by
the fact that there has been a distinct
approximation of American opinion to
the British view, while the French atti-
tude also is susceptible OF Modification
along the same lines.
At yesterdays meeting OF delegates
occasion was taken by the British to
explain the motives of the proposal made
by the British Government in December

Wilson himself gave expression.
The idea in Lloyd Georges mind was
TO make truce Of God" during which
reason might have opportunity 10 obtain
the upper hand in the area Of slaughter
and ruin. With the various Russian
governments represented at the council
board there was some hope of bette"
things, and if the Soviet government

Paris. Jan. 15.--The most tangible first
effect of Sgnor Nlttis Offering his res

now is 70 drag Premier Orlando back to
Rome from Paris. thus furnishing one
more In the series Of interminable de-
lays in all the Allied Premiers getting
together and staying together long
enough to get the peace-making really
under way.
In addition 10 that, Nittis threat to
get out Of the Orlando cabinet has n
most interesting bearing on the internal
and external politics of Italy. Accord
ing to diplomatic experts in Paris, Nitti
has been in silent opposition to Orlando
for several months. and his determina-
tion TO retire is now taken as direct evil

only difference Of opinion being as to

the Government before then. in order to
figure as one Of the chief signatories of

all this there is possibility OF a gene"s
election in italy in the near future.
The probability OF Nitti's advent to
supreme power in Italy IS not at all
pleasing to France. For lie has been
