QUOTES PLUNKETr.

In depicting the conditions under
which the Act Of the Union was
forced through the Irish parliament.
the words of Lord Plunkett ar"
quoted for the American Government,
as follows:
"Thc Act of the Union was attempt
ed while our country was filled with
British troops whilst the haboas
corpus act was suspended~-whiist
trials by court-'nartial were carrying
on in many parts of the kingdom
whilst the people wcr" taught to
think they had no right to meet or
deliberate"
The appeal carries numerous quo
tations from promises made by Lloy |
George in recruiting speeches that
ireland would not be left out OF the
after the war.
In connection with the statement
of facts designed to show the COM
plete breakdown OF the civil govern
ment in lrealnd as proof OF British
incompetence to rule Ireland" the
Irish President takes the opportunity
to review some of tho so-called Ems
lish atrocities in ireland. He adds
"Ry their own act OF Parliament
England has ruled out all the Eng
lish courts throughout the Irish Re-
public, resortinE exclusively to mill
tary courts martial, and tho courts Of
the Republic arc the only courts
there today" is the
statement.
In an appcndix to the appeal,
carrying all the documents cited in
the dc Valera argument, the Act ot
Reunuciation is reprinted in full to-
gether with much of the Act of th"
Union. Excerpts from the documents
in which rresicdnt Monroe recog-
nized the South American republics
make up the remainder of the bulky
document.

WILSON CITED.
BY De VALERA
Quoted As Authority on Moral
Right" Of Irish to In
dependence.

By recourse TO military court mar
tial and Abandonment OF her own
civil courts. Great Britain has her
self recognized the complete break
down OF her civil government In Ire
land, according To the plea for rec
ognition OF the Irish republic Lard
before President Wilson by Presi-
dent Eamon de Valera and now be-
ing considered by the State Depart
ment, II was learned Officially
today.
LONG DOCI MENT.
This history making document. part
OF the text oil which L. made pubic
herewith tor the first time. consists
OF seventy-eight printed pages OF
legal cap size, 1t sets forth in most
complete fashion the legal claims Of
the republic-facts the Irish have
cndeavoring to lay formally before
the American Government for num-
bcr OF years.
President Wilson, To whom the com
munication was addressed By Mr..
De Valera. is himself one Of the chief
authorities quoted on the "incontcst-
ible moral right OF the Irish people
to govern themselves" Some OF the
quotations from the American Presi-
dent arr as follows:
Shall peoples be ruled and domi
mated, even in their own internal af-
fairs. by arbitrary and responsible
force or by their own Will and
choice?
"National aspirations must be re-
spected; peoples may now be dOmi
mated and governed only by their own
consent DIFFERENTIATION is not a
mere phrase.
Every people should be lett free
to determine it's own policy. it's own
way Of Development, unhindered, un-
Threatened. unafraid. the little along
with the great and powerful"
In further proof Of Ir"land's moral
rights virtually all of the Presidents
Of tho GniteT States arc quoted.
Deadly parallels are drawn between
the developments in tn" American
Revolution and in the Irish revolu-
tiun. The Irish declaration OF indie
pendence itself is embodied in the
appeal.

STRESSES TWO POINTS.

Considerable Of the document is
devoted to the establishment of Ire
lands legal case. in attempting to
convince tn" American Government
on that point, the President OF the
Irish republic bears down principally
upon TWO main points as follows:
lllegality of tn" British position in
Ireland today. based upon alleged
proof that the act of the union was
put through the Irish Parliament
with the aid of 129,0Oo British SOL
di-rs, and that the act OF rcnunc'a
ton, 10y which England recognized
Ireland rs mot 4 dependent" is still
III force and effect legally.
Legal pr"cedents for "rccoguition
of the Irish republic without inter
vention" by America are. cited as
found by John Bassctt Moore in the
cases where President James Monroe
extended recognition to practically
all the South American republics then
breaking away from the mother coun-
tries.
'ln l7~2 Grattan's resolution was
adopted by the Irish Parliament and
made permanent settlement by the
British Parliament by the act OF re-
nunciation," reads the argument on
the legal phase. 1T provided that
no power on earth but the King.
Lords and Commons of Ireland is COM
petent to make laws for Ireland BY
It Eugland renounced forever all
claims to leCislate for Ireland. Tn"
act of George l. under which Eng
land claimed the right to legislate for
Ireland as for a dependency, was dci;-
nitely abrogated."

WHAT'S TH|S?MUST BE PRESS AGENTS DREAM

Has winsome little Miss Ruth Renick (Griffin), society's particular pet. Strayed from the path of truthfulness or has she become the victim of press agent? That is the question troubling her friends who recently read an inter view purported to have been given out by Miss Renick to a Los Angeles dra- matic critic after her return from Hol- brook, where the scenes of fThe Molly coddle," in which she appears with Douglas Fairbanks. were filmed.
 Miss Renick tells of transforming days in Arizona, although it has been the great regret of her friends that she never has appeared here since adopt ing the stage as her profession. Her only public appearance on the speaking stage in Arizona was when she took leading parts in Country club produc- tions.
 Here is the story that caused so much comment:
 When Douglas Fairbanks and his company of 75 people pulled out of Los Angeles for Arizona to film scenes in The Mollycoddle," his latest picture. there was one member of the company who became reminiscent of barDstorm- ing days in seasons gone by.
 It was Ruth Renick, his leading woman, who recalled passing through this same Arizona a little more than two years ago. when she did not know whether the little company would be we'll fed in the next town or whether everybody would go hungry. A score or more people in the Fairbanks com pany gathered around Miss Renick and

A daily arrival of at least 1000 motor Cars into Phoenix from every direc- ton Is predicted for the next six to eight years by Edward Fletcher. vice president of the Bankhead National HlShWay association, in a letter re- ceiVed yesterday by the Arizona Good hoadS association. MT Fletcher. who s prominently identified with the western division of the Bankhead as soclation as well as other large trans portation projects on the coast. has written to endorse the state highway commission bill and urge its favora bIe consideration by the people, His let Ter IS dated at San Diego.
 A copy of the bill was sent him for criticism. He replied: "I have no crit teism to make of the initiative measure Tn any way. He then wrote about the petitions now being circulated about the state for the highway bill and con stitutional amendment to make the highway commission operative:
 'I am pleased to know that the mi tlative petitions are being circulated in Preference to the state highway system over Arizona, which means, if created so much to the state of Arizona ! sincerely hope that the people of Ari- zona will overwhelmingly vote in favor

 Tells of Changed Conditions
 Writing of the changed conditions in travel he says: ''It is hard to realize the changed conditions in travel dur- ing the past five or ten years Who would have thought ten years ago that there would be travelling via Williams and Needles to Los Angeles over the continent during the summer months from 200 to 400 machines a day, leav- ing from $500 to $500 a day in the main towns en route!
 Arizona can get some idea of it's lack of development when the state Tuent is made that it will take at least eight or ten years to put in the proper highway system that Arizona should nave, to take care of the travel through the state. Nothing can stop a na- tional highway from bringing within the next three or four years from 200 to 400 cars a day into Phoenix from Fl Paso en route to San Diego At.the earliest possible date Arizona should build a connecting road from Williams to Phoenix and to Yuma, connecting with California's concrete highway now being built from San Diego to Yuma. Concrete highways double the value of property which faces them and these highways are an investment that the state of Arizona cannot af- ford to lose.
 By the time Arizona completes its highways there will be a concrete highway across the continent from San Diego by way of Phoenix to Fl Paso to the Atlantic coast, the only road open the year around.'

 Our reception at Phoenix was any thing but reassuring. It indicated, however, that We had a real show. We had enough money with which to get to Los Angeles and from there to Bakersfield. Finally we tried to put the show on in schoolhouses or any other place that was vacant, but We couldn't find a manager who would play US Eventually we found out the reason-the show was no good. So we quit. and returned 10 Los Angeles and got into pictures, where I've been ever since"
