IRISH WILL APPEAL
TO PEACE conference

Dublin, Jan. -(Correspondence
of the Associated Press.)-Captain
Stephen L. Gwynn, former national
ist member of parliament, now
chairman of the executive commit
tee OF the Irish center party, and
several Irish nationalist officers who
served in the war, have sent an ap-
peal to Premier Lloyd George to
submit the Irish question to the
peace conference.
Captain Gwynn was active in the
voluntary recruiting movement in
Ireland in the latter part of the war
when it was feared that conscription
would be imposed upon Ireland.
In letter to the premier, Cap
tain Gwynn and his associates say
that the problem of Ireland could
not be better described than in the
words of President Poincare in out
lining the. task of the peace confer
ence as being "to remake the map
of the world and respect the rights
of nations, small and great, to dis
pose of themselves"
BY these terms, asserts Captain
Gwynn and his fellow officers, "the
peace conference is indicated as the
bar before which Ireland's claim
should be heard and Judged"
