SEEKS REPEAL
OF ALL LAWS
BORN OF WAR
Porter Wants House to Lift
Restrictions on
Business.
PRESIDENT MAY AGREE
Republicans Solid for Plan
And Many Democrats
Also Approve.

Immediate repeal of all war leg
islation will be urged upon the
House leaders today by Represen-
tative Porter. Republican. of Penn
sylvania, chairman of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee
Porter made this announcement
yesterday. after he had informally
discussed with Senator Lodge the
situation resulting from the refusal
OF the Senate to ratify the treaty
OF Versailles. He said:
Repeal of the war legislation is
the only remedy for the condition
In which the country now finds it
self. This other plan-a resolution
declaring that a state of peace
exists between the United States
and Germany-is only a makeshift."
Many of the House leaders, it is
expected. will give their support
to the Porter plan. Failure of the
President to sign a resolution de-
elaring peace, or approval of such
= measure, and refusal to issue a
proclamation of peace. they have
pointed out. would give rise to
complications involving the opera
ton of the war statutes.

London. March 23.-Premier Lloyd
Georges point-blank refusal in the
house OF commons to discuss the

an Irish rebellion has served to con-
frm the grave feelings of apprehen-
sion that trouble is brewing across
the Irish sea.
Even Mr. MacI herson's statement
regarding the military investigation
which followed the murder of the
Sim Fein Lord Mayor of Cork has
strengthened London's impressions
that, under clouds of secrecy, an
uprising is being planned in the
south of Ireland. De Valera's
speeches in America now are being
given greater prominence in the
press than a fortnight ago.
Fight Becomes Bitter.
Meanwhile the press fight over the
Irish situation continues with the
most extreme bitterness. The Sim
Fein, Carsonites and the British
government are in 4 three-cornered
controversy. The Sim Feiners
charge the Cork murder to armed
thugs imported by the military gov
ernment. while government officials
themselves, through the army intel

most thorough investigation and, 10

Speaking of the Cork murder. the

upon the Irish underworld.
1T is conceivable that among
those menaced by the bloodthirsty
cowardice of the present school OF
Irish patriots. a movement of re-

The testimony OF Admiral Sims,
that Gen. Tasker H. Bliss advised
the brigading of American forces
with the British army. was unequiv-
ocally denied yesterday by the gen.
eral. in a letter to Secretary Baker.
who. in turn. transmitted 1t to Sec

In a letter sent last night to Sem
ator Hale. chairman of the Senate
Naval Affairs Subcommittee. before
which Admiral Sims appeared and
testified. Secretary Daniels enclosed
Gen. Bliss letter. which, in brief
in denying the assertion of Admiral
Sims, says: AT no time did / make

Of American troops with the British
Army, but the truth is exactly the
reverse"
Gen. Bliss sent his letter to Sec
rotary Baker as a result of the sub
committees hearing of last Tuesday
Senator Pittman. at that session,
read from an unsigned document
taken from Admiral Sims files. and
this document urged that American

Gen. Bliss, in his communication
to Secretary Baker. says. in part:
Il have a carbon copy of every
communication, of whatsoever kind,
written by me to or for any person
whatsoever. from the time of our
entry into the war and on any sub
ject relating to the war. Not only
at no time did l make any recon-
mendation for the brigading of
American troops with the British

Sims in Europe were while was
with the American mission (the So
called House Mission) in London
between the Sth and the 22d of
November. 1917.
Calls Idea Absurd.
The idea of 'brigading' complete
divisions with other groups is an
absurdity. During the battle ou1
divisions were at times used to meet
an emergency in connection with
either British or French divisions !;
but in the same way, French di-
visions were used with our troops.
At no time during the American
missions visit to Europe did hear
even the suggestion that our troops
should be brigaded either in large
or small bodies. with foreign troops
Nor did ever make such a sugges-
ton, much less a recommendation -
In substantiation OF the assertions
of Gen. Bliss and as further re-
futation of the remarks of Admiral
Sims. Secretary Daniels appended to
his letter to Senator Hale the origi-
nal orders given Gen. Pershing by
Secretary Baker. after approval by
the President. These specifically di-
rect that the underlying idea of
American participation in the war
should be the organization of a
distinctly component and individual
American army.
