vision (26th) in France, then later to
interrogations regarding the hopes OF
Ireland in the league.
"What would you do about Ireland
Mr.. Bakcr?" was one of the questions
which greeted Secretary Baker.
"pll answer that" returned the Sec
rotary of War. "Clearly nothing can
be done for ireland out of the League
Of Nations. Frankly, do not see how
anything can be done in the league,
because to me it seems a domestic

"But | do believe that in a league

man who would be "puppet presi-
dent" and said that the dead soldiers
in France, could they speak would ask
America TO repudiate Harding for his
alleged statement regarding the scrap
ping of the league made at Des Moinos
Thursday night.
Secretary Baker charged Senator
Lodge with Inconsistency in his atti-
tude toward the League OF Nations and

over by Miss Elisabeth Marburv.

In reply to another interruption he
declared he believed Governor Cox's

IN ireland, because the Democratic
