VIII Be Made to Wilson Over
Congress Action
PREMIER IGNORES MESSAGE

London, Nav V Tho subject Of the
support given to ''the Irish republic"
by some persons in the United States
came up in the House of Commons yes
terday. Horatio Bottomley asked
whether the government was aware that
appeals for subscriptions for bonds ad-
dressed by De Valera as president
of the Irish republic" were still appear
ing in American newspapers and were
supported by the governors OF various
states, and whether Great Britain pro-
posed to make representations on the
matter to President Wilson.
Mr.. Bcnar Law. replying In behalf Of
the government, said it was understood
that such appeals were still appearing
In American papers, but he was not
IN position to say whether they were
supported by any governor. Great
Britain, he added. was not prepared
to make representations. NH
Other members of the House OF Com
mons condemned the action Of Ameri-
cans and asked il Great Britain would
make any representations protesting to
America against the message from

Lloyd George will not take cognizance
Of the congresmen's message, 1t was
stated.
Two of this mornings newspapers
comment on the memorandum sent by
American congressman to Premier Lloyd
George, protesting against detention oi
Irish prisoners, and the tone Of theiI
editorials is somewhat resentful against
"outside interference" in British inter.
nal affairs. .
