S|NN FEN WILL. USE BALLOT II. SHOW POWER IF IRISH REPUBLIC
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire]

DUBLIN, May 3.-"The issue be- tween Great Britain and Ireland never will be settled until it is set tied on the basis of right" says Eamonn de Valera in a manifesto issued today appealing to the Irish people to uphold the standard of the Irish republic in the elections.
 He declares that the Irish people are advancing toward final settle ment, but he warns the electorate that "blossoms are not fruit but the precursors of fruit" and he adjures the people do not pluck them"
 By voting for the Sim Fein can didates he says the people will cast their ballots for nothing less than the legitimacy of the republic" and that success twill give the lie to our nations traducers."
 By your overwhelming choice of republican candidates at the general elections of 191s," says the manifes- to, you made known your will. On your suffrages the republic Of Ire land was constitutionally founded. and with your sanction the elected government proceeded to function, organizing the forces of the state to defend it and demanding from all citizens the obedience legitimately due to constituted authority
 De Valera appeals to the electors to confirm the authority granted in 1918 and strengthens the government against the enemy.
 He says the policy of the Sim FeiF remains unchanged; that it stands for the right of the people to deter.- mine how they shall be governed: for the right of every citizen to ar equal voice in this determination: fol civil and religious equality and fol | full proportional representation safe | guarding minorities.
 The republic of Ireland, he con tinues in world politics stands "fol an association of nations and equality of right among eonstituen members, with mutual guarantee against aggression and for the settie ment of international disputes on th' | basis of right and justice, instead 0 l by force.''
 The issue which the elections vii
 determine is clear, says the mani | festo.
 "YQu who vote for the Sim Feil candidates it declared, will cas | your votes for nothing less than tn legitimacy of the republic, for Ire
 land against England, for freedom
 against slavery and for right an, justice against force and wrong Your answer will be heard aroun I the world.
 i Tt will tell mankind that Irish
 men and Irish women with red bloc
 in their veins do not yet regard a criminals the brave men who figh against tyranny and whc -psfers' u their lives that the sufterings of 75 years may not hay been endured i | vain.
 Let no knavery or intriguing z the enemy divide you.''

BERLIN, May 3.-Shortly after the opening of the reichstag today Paul Loebe, president of the chamber. stated that the reply of Secretary Hughes to the German counter pro- posals on reparations had been re- eeived. The reply was delivered to Dr. Simons this morning by Loring Dresel, American commissioner.
 On the announcement of Herr Loebe. George Ledebour. Social dem ocratic leader. moved the house dis cuss the note. This motion was re- jected by a large majority. Herr Loebe said Dr. Simons would con- suit with the committee on foreign reltaions Wednesday.
 The cabinet was in session up to three o'clock this afternoon at which hour it was without news of the final conclusions of the London con ference.
 Newspapers are almost apathetic as regards the Washington reply. The Nationalist papers chorus T told you so,' and again reproach Dr. Simons for what is termed his lack of dignity in appealing to President Harding. The kreuz Zeitung says Now that French battalions are ready to cross the Rhine it would be futile to make fresh counter pro- poSalS.'
 The Taegliche Rundschau conStrues | the suggestion to Secretary Hughes
 that Germany make a direct offer to | London as indicating the absence oi
 close feeling between Washington and London
