PLANS FOR BOND
ISSUE GIVEN UP
BY IRISH CHIEF
Abandons Discussion With
Bankers to Consider F iinanc-
ing of Irish Freedom.

CHICAGO, July 15.--Eamonn De
Valera, President Of the Irish Repub-
lic," concluded a strenuous three-day
speech-naking campaign in Chicago to
enlist support for Irish freedom.
His plan to discuss with Chicago
bankers plans for the sale Of 5000, 900
worth of bonds Of the Irish Republic
Aas abandoned, although 1t was said
the question of financing the move
ment was considered Informally with
his advisors. 1t Is said the question
may be referred to committee Of
New York and Chicago business men
interested in the Irish cause.
Bellttles Paris Report
One method suggested was to offer
the $500. 900 900 bond issue to popular
subscription in this country.
Mr.. De Valera was not perturbed
over news dispatches received to-day
from Paris stating that 1t has been de-
cided definitely that the Irish claims
will not be taken up for consideration
by the peace conference.
II attach little importance to that
report" he said. 1T does not express
the opinion of a delegate to the con-
ference. I still am hopeful that the
elected government of Ireland will be
granted a hearing at the peace con-
ference"

American luck and carefully plan
ned efficiency are accountable for the
small number Of casualties among
American troops on the western front,
in the opinion Of Captain George B.
Hunt Of the Fourth Battalion, 21st En-.
gineers Captain Hunt, former we'll
known Richmond physician, arrived
in the city last Friday evening on a
fifteen-day furlough from Camp Zach
airy Taylor, where he will return to
secure his honorable discharge. He
did important work in France in the
medical corps of a narrow and stan
dard gauge railroad unit for ten
months He expects to return to
Richmond and resume his medical
practice.
I'VE got over in time to participate
in the spectacular advances of the
St. Mihiel salient, after only six
weeks training in this country" said
Captain Hunt in discussing the work
of his company. The work in that
salient is acknowledged to have been
the most concerted and altogether re-
markable. The great barrage sent
over by the Americans before we
started was not only one of the great
est things in history, but one of the
most effectual. Never had railroads
been kept so busy hauling back sal.
wage from a battle There were only
16 900 American casualties to top it
all, and in actual figures only 700 men
were killed. When you compare that
with figures lowering around 10000
casualties for the French in a single
drive. it makes you wonder how the
Americans accomplished it. Luck
comes first as a reason, I must admit
but there were number of other
factors, including tact, skill, nerve
and a never-give-up or even think
about giving up spirit along with real
efficiency"
Captain Hunt explained that more
of his men were killed in wrecks than
! were actually killed by enemy fire
The same kind Of railroad accidents
experienced every day in the United
States happened over there, he said
A number Of men were lost this way
although on the whole, they expert
enced few casualties.
Buried "Dud" Blows Up.
"One of our most curious losses
came when a group of men had bull,

fire burned for over half an hour

After the armistice was signed. the
narrow gage system of railroading
was of no more value as 1T had been
in use simply from the standard gage
heads up to the front as they ad-
vanced. Captain Hunt then became
an inspector travelling from Metz to
Paris investigating work in the var.
ious divisional stations in such cities
as Nancy, Verdun, Toul, LIE Mans.
and Coblenz. Reconstruction rail-
reading was the order and this was
carried on intensively according to
Captain Hunt. Operating, construc-
ton work, and mechanical depart
ments were perfected. and excellent
work accomplished, he said. Many Of
the round-houses were equal to those
in the States. Five hundred men
were stationed at the Conflam term.
inal, the largest one worked. During
the war the Germans ran a train out
of this terminal every five minutes, it
was said. This was partly shot up by
the Americans late in the war.
Work on this railroad construction
and operation was continued between
Metz and Coblenz, as the main line Of
communication with the Army of o.
| cupation until the Rhine-Brus sup
ply line was established.
Praises Beauty Of Metz.
Metz is the most beautiful town
have ever been in" said Captain Hunt
who declared 1t to be more artistic
than Paris.
Il learned to understand slightly
why when German soldier was told
to commit an atrocity he did so, when
an American would have refused. In
tense, continuous training and far
reaching propaganda is the answer
When boy is taken at his formative
stage and taught the same thing,
eternally he will be more managerial lie
than the man who has been reared to
/ distinguish right from wrong through
the process of elimination and dis
elimination"
The captain told of efforts made by
| Germans to win the Americans. He
met woman who had lived in Min
neapolis for ten years, and professed
great interest in the success of the
Americans. Her son had been in the
German army, taken while they were
home just before the war broke out,
she said. She had her family sing
America" for Captain Hunt when
they invited him to their home, and
the entire conversation was carried on
in English. Carefully and very tact
fully one of the young ladies of the
household mentioned the fact that
the French were calling the Ameri-
cans Schwein now. Did he know
that"
And I do not suppose they ever
dreamed I was convinced they were
spies" said Captain Hunt with a
smile.
Il was also amused to note that
when it was learned the Americans
were coming through town, the store
keepers would get out our dust COW
cred American goods, clean them off,
and stock their windows with them.
In France this was not DONE and the
boys as a result thought they felt
more at home in Germany. American
sewing machines, the only kind OBJ
tainable in Europe, were hauled out
and displayed as if they had always
been in front of the shops. The same
thing was done with English printed
books and several other articles"

"Pipp can do everything around first

great reach gives him a decided ad-
vantage over most Of them. And I
know Of no other first baseman who
carries more of a kick at bat. He hit
.3O4 for me last year, but a batting
average does not begin to tell Pipp's
usefulness to a team. His ability to
make those long hits at critical times
makes him one Of the most valuable
men in baseball. He led his league in
home runs in 1916 and 1917, and has
led his league in driving in runs.

HIPPO VAUGHN TELLS
OF YANKEE FAILURE
Not laziness That Caused Him to
Fail With StaIIings.
Chicago Twirier Says It Was Not In
difference That Caused Him to Be
Dumped to Minors, But a
Lame Arm-His Record.

Jim Vaughn has given a Chicago
writer an explanation of why he failed
with the New York Yankees so COM
pletely several years ago that he was
dumped to the minors, to then come
back a7ss prove such a winner with
the Chicago Cubs. 1t was not indif-
ference, but a lame arm, says Hippo
Jim.
Vaughn was charged with being
lac''adaisical while he was with the
Yankees in 1910, II and - and was
roughly panned by some New York
critics. They accused him of being
lazy because he did not exert himself
and make his size count for a lot
