ty-fifth Convention Of City
Federation.

Many of the 1900 delegates to the
fifty-fifth convention of the New York
City Federation OF Women's Clubs yes
terday at the Astor Hotel staged lively
demonstra ton to show their disapproval
of one of the resolutions introduced
Speeches in favor Of the provision. which
had to do with home rule for New York
city. were drowned by the expressions
Of protest which swept over the con-
vention
The resolution. presented by the
Women's Civil Service League of the
United States, apparently was sponsored
by Democrats and was offered for the
purpose of testing the delegates, repre-
senting more than $40 clubs, on the
home rule issue. 1t read:
Resolved. That the New York City
Federation of Women's Clubs hereby go
on record as supporting the principles
Of the right Of the 100000 people in
this city to home rule in municipal af-
fairs"
Miss Mary Garrett Hay had a verbal
monkey wrench handy, and as the last
words OF the resolution were read she
took good aim at the machinery and let
fly question as to why such a resolu-
ton should be considered by the organi-
zation. Il am not speaking against
home rule. but why the resolution" she
demanded.
DR.. Adela Cuinet OF Brooklyn declared
that as a citizen and taxpayer she de-
sired to oppose the resolution. 1.-THE only
safeguard the people OF our city have Is

Mrs. William Swarburger suggested
that as the Federation had always kept
its skirts clear of politics the resolution
be laid on the table.
Mrs Richard NJ Chairman pnuIy
elected president of the Federation. re-
minded the delegates that the resolution
could not be tabled. and there were just
three ways of disposing of 1t according
to parliamentary procedure
You can accept 1t, you can repudiate
1t or you can refer 1t 10 the committee

Yells issued from the gallery, where

dignantly and delivered the followin,
words: New York city is an I'll smell

Such q resolution Is out of the question

Her reference to the city was a sigma

ULSTER WILL HAVE
NO IRISH REPUBLIC
Will Never Entertain the
Idea, Sir James Craig Tells
Eamonn de Valera.
LANGUAGE EMPHATIC
Progress Impossible Along
Lines of Sim Fein's
Present Policy.
NO FURTHER DISCUSSION
Unionist Party Meeting De-
cides Home Rule Acceptance
Is Limit for Them.
NO FURTHER DISCUSSION
BIZ the Associated Press.


BELFAST, May 6.-It has been learned
from q high authority that Sir James
Craig In his conversation with Eamonn
de Valera gave De Valera to under
stand In unmistakable terms that I'M
der no circumstances would Ulster
ever entertain the idea of asserting
to or participating in an Irish republic.
The language of Sir James on this
point, it was declared, was as decisive
and emphatic as anything Premier
Lloyd George has said on the same
subject, and hence no progress was
possible either with the Premier or
the people of Ulster along the lines of
the Sim Fein's present policy.
1t was added that It might definitely
be stated that the negotiations are at
an end unless the Sim Fein makes a
now move on different line to that
adopted at yesterdays conference, when
De Valera in lengthy appeal tried to
win over Sir James to the idea of re-
public for the whole of Ireland.
The Ulster Unionist Party In a meet
ing to-day. called by Sir James decided
that Ulster. having accepted the Gov
eminent of Ireland act. could make no
further concessions. Sir James made
the following statement:
my conversation with Mr.. De Valera
having occurred, and Ulster having al
ready, by its acceptance of the pro-
visions of the Government of Ireland
act and by its undertaking toward
them, reached the limit of concessions.
no further discussion will be entered
into. When the Parliament has been
established and the Council OF Ireland
constituted, there viii be the necessary
southern Ireland"
Speaking tonight Sir James said:
Il only hope that the expectations of
immediate peace may not be too high,
either across the channel or here.
THE first step in a matter of this
sort is always difficult, but I do not
believe a big man could refuse to take
the first step. or that a man Is big
IL he refuses to take such step when
so much Is at stake
Sir James reiterated that neither he
nor any Ulster loyalist would consent
to a republic or any weakening OF the
ties between Ulster and Great Britain.
Nothing had been surrendered or
would be surrendered. the speaker de-
clared, and Sim Fein knew it.
The Unionist Northern Wing suggests
tht De valeras desire for an interview
with the Ulster leader amounted to
the admission by Sim Fein that they
cannot get republic"

Paris, May 9.
BY the time the assembly of the
League OF Nations meets next Septem-
Der 1t will "be relieved of its cunlber-
some. Objectionable features through
amendment of the covenant" Rene WV
iani said to-day. NJ. Viviani felt sure
the United States would not keep aloof
from the work Of world regeneration"
when the league was rid of the articles
which made 1t appear like a super
state"
M. Viviani deplored some OF the
news" sent out of France to the United
States. He said that one day when he
was in America he saw in one of the
newspapers there a despatch from Paris
in which it was said the King of Sweden
had left the Folies Bergere because he
was shocked at the immortality and dis
respect shown there.
II felt so strongly about this that I
cabled the president Of the council ask
ing him about it, NJ viviani continued.
He replied that 1t might be so, but on
the other hand nothing of the kind had
occurred
NJ. Viviani begged foreign correspon-
dents, to whom he gave the interview,
to emphasize as little as possible in their
news dispatches the little scandals Of
Paris. which. after all, ARE common to
all the world" when there is so much
going on vital to Frances interests.
Commenting on his experiences In
America, M. Viviani said that in SO far
as American sentiment was concerned
France had nothing to fear from the
United States. but in so far as the prac-
teal side was concerned there was a
certain element there which has become
intoxicated with John NJ. Keyness book,
Economic Aspects of the Peace
He requested the correspondents to
express to the American people his
thanks for the cordial reception they
had accorded him.

days, but 1t is not believed that final

1T Is toe early yet for tho leaders of

though both sides desire to end the
present ruinous state of affairs. But
there exists line which neither side
Will croso at the present moment.
Following Lord Derby's visit to Ire
land and the meeting of Sir James
Craig ana De Valera, 1t is said by the
Evening STANDARD that an important
meeting is scheduled for tomorrow In
which, II says. De Valera. another Sim
Fein leeder and some Irish prelates will
participate. A Dublin despatch 70 the
Central News says that in we'll in
formed Sim Fein circles in Dublin II
was said DC Valera WAS not likely to
leave Ireland for such purpose.

UCHIDA SEES JAPAN
ATPEACE WITH US.
Believes All Questions in the
End Will BE Solved
Satisfactorily.
BIZ the Associated Press.

TOXIC, May 6.--Viscount Uchida, the
Foreign Minister. is quoted by to-day's
newspapers as declaring he believed all
questions between Japan and the United
States would In the end be solved salts
factorily. The Foreign Minister made
this statement in an address to the
Japanese provincial governors.
LONDON, May 6. British overseas
dominions would not tolerate an Anglo
Japanese treaty having as it's object OPP
position to the United States, declared
the Spectator to-day. The newspaper
cited facts to show that an alliance be-
tween England and Japan was never
meant, and never could be used against
America.
yet we have until now left the most
important argument on our side I'M
stated" the newspaper continued. Even
the most wildly imperlalistic and ag-
gressive of Brtons do not contemplate
with pleasure the blowing of the British
Empire into smithereens in a single
instant. We all know perfectly well
this would be the result IL we went to
some rights of our own but In order
10 help the Japanese The moment such
war was declared the bonds that
united us with our dominions would be
severed.
If the people Of Australia and New
Zealand were asked on which side they
were going to be in a war between
America and Japan, they would not hesi-
tate a second. They would not waste
time In reading diplomatic papers or con-
sidering legal points. They would say
With our own flesh and blood If
the poor old mother country has gone
mad we cannot help it, We are deeply
sorry. but If things have come to this
pass we must reluctantly take the leader
ship of her elder daughter rather than
herself. Help the Japanese to take San
Francisco by assault Good heavens,
what are you talking about?'
The same dreadful message Of dis
integation would run from one end Of
Canada to the other with similar vehe-
mence. There could be only one place
for Canada in a finish fight between
Japan and America-by the side OF
America
The Spectator concluded by suggesting
two British proposal to the United States.
The first OF these" the newspaper
said. would be to make our position abb
solutely clear to the whole American pco-
pie and also to the people of our own
empire. declaring we would not renew
the Japanese alliance, although. OF
course. we would remain in perfect amity
with Japan Next we should propose a
naval convention with the United States.
We should say to America You shall
take over command of the sea through
out the Pacific and carry on the policing
OF 1t. Just as you will be answerable
for the Pacific, so we will have command
of the sea In the Atlantic, which means
not only all the northern waters of Eu-
rope and the Mediterranean but also the
waters encompassing the western and
southern coasts of Africa"
