Calls Upon Irish to Show
That There Are No Ulster

Fate at Stake, He Says
Nss0 York Tribune
Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Eamon de
Valera sent cablegram to the Irish
people to-day, calling upon them to 20
to the polls in the Forthcoming Irish
elections land show that there are no
Ulster boundaries"
De Valera sent his message to Arthur
Griffith, "Vice-President" of the Irish
Republic. 1t follows:
Lloyd George cannot find his Ulster
boundaries. The elections must show
mat they are not there to be found.
Every lover of Ireland to the polls,
t2en. Victory, Ireland's fate, is de-
pendent on you. The world is watching
and the world will note"
The Irish National Bureau issued the
following statement in explanation of
the elections:
The elections of January Is are to
be held in every county, urban and
rural district in Ireland. Although a
new, complicated system of voting has
been devised by the British govern
ment, with view to splitting the vote
and obtaining representation of minori-
yes, the republican supporters are con-
noent OF an overwhelming success. Un-
der the new system it is probable that
the Irish Labor party, practically all of
whose members are republicans. will
obtain some representation. The mem
bers Of the Sim Fein party and of the
irish Labor party, it is conceded, will
stand as unit on the question of abso-
lutte independence for the republic.
Mr.. de Valera's reference to the
Ulster boundaries is in line with the
assertion that although the British
Tory group claims that Ulster is ma
ton distinct from the rest of Ireland,
they have never been able to point to
the boundaries of this imaginary ma
tion within nation.
"In the Province of Ulster, as geo.
graphically laid OUT. the Unionists
were able to capture only TWENTY-FIVE
out Of thirty-six in the last
parliamentary election. In the local
elections next Thursday the republi-
cans are confident of making further
inroads upon the limited Unionist ter

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-A plan of
procedure will be announced by Presi-
dent Wilson's commission to investi-
gate wages and prices in the bitumi-
nous coal industry tomorrow when it
goes into it's first formal session Of
its inquiry into conditions in the cen
tral competitive district. Henry N.
Robinson, repre- of the public,
who has been named president Of the
body, also will announce tomorrow the
personnel of the commissions staff.
According to present arrangements,
John L. Lewis, acting president of the
mine workers union, and William
Green, secretary, representing the min
ers as plaintiffs, will be heard to-mor-
row. The four district presidents of
the union also will appear.
Operators representing the central
district, it was understood tonight,
have agreed to participate at least pro-
visionally in the hearings.
Under the strike settlement agree
ment which the miners accepted un-
conditionally and which the operators
are expected to accept at least condi-
tlonally, the commission has power to
fix coal mine wages and working con-
ditions all over the United States. If
1t is found necessary to advance the
price of coal TO finance further wage
increases the commission is author
lied by the President to do so, provid-
ing its decision is unanimous.

self, is described by Professor Robert
H. Goddard, of Clark College, in re-
cent publication for the Smithsonian
Institution.
The new apparatus is a multiple
charge high efficiency rocket of an en-
tirely new design.
"The great scientific value of Profess
sor Goddard's experiments" says the
announcement, "lies in the possibility
of sending recording apparatus to mod
crate and extreme attitudes within the
earth's atmosphere. The nature Of the
higher levels of the air has been for q
long time subject of much specula-
temperature, electrical nature, density
ozone content, etc.
Nineteen Miles Present Record
"The highest level that has ever been
reached up to the present time with
recording instruments is about nine
teen miles, accomplished with free
balloon. AS the earth's atmosphere ex-
tends some 200 miles out, there is a
great unknown region, knowledge of
which would greatly benefit the science
of meteorology.
"The balloon with its recording ap-
paratus requires several hours to as
cend to its highest altitude, drifts hori-
zontally for a considerable period of
time, and may come down at a great
distance from it's starting point. Its
recovery by the sender depends on the
chance of its descent being noticed and
on the willingness of the finder to re-
turn it. Thus it may be days or weeks
before the record taken is made avail
able.

by the recent earthquake. according to
special dispatches from Vera Cruz last
night. Jalapa, former capital of the
State of Vera Cruz. and Teocelo were
virtually ruined. it is said. while the
village of Ayahualco was crushed by
great rocks dislodged from the noun
tain and sent crashing into the valley.
similar fate is reported to have be-
fallen the village of Exhuacan.
One small child is said to be the
only survivor of all the inhabitants of
the village of Santito, State of Puebla,
which was overwhelmed by poisonous
gases. Indian refugees arriving at
Huatusco from the San Miguel region
say hundreds of persons were killed.

dispatches give small hope that origi-

people being crushed to death.
Many Dead from Gases
In the San Miguel district deaths
from gases are reported to number
upward of 200 Nearly $50 bodies have
been taken from streams and rivers of
the eastern slope of the mountains.
A telegram received here yesterday
from the Mayor of the city of La
Fragua, State of Puebla, stated he had
been unable to report sooner because
of almost continuous shocks, which
had almost. entirely destroyed the
place. He said seventy bodies had been
recovered and that many injured per-
sons were dying.
Dispatches from Couztlan state that
new shocks were felt there on Friday.
In the city of Vera Cruz a heavy storm
has blown down the tower of the city,
which was weakened by the earthquake.
