clared Miss Mary MacSwiney. sister of

than 900 members of the American
Association for the Recognition of the
Irish Republic at mass-meeting held
in Gonzaga Hall last night.
The lrlShWoman. who is about to start
on d return trip through the south and
west, was given tremendous reception
when she appeared on the, platform.
This city should be the peace capital,
because the United States stands pre-
eminent among the nations of the world. +"
She said "a conference of nations in
which Ireland, independent of Great
Britain, should have representation and
in which Germany and her allies in the
late war should also. have voice. should
be held here for the formation of a plan
of Internal tional harmony.
I'm this country you are failing to
recognize the important part YOU should
play in world policies, and you are let
ting glorious opportunity Slip" she
continued.
In a brief address. following that
of Miss MacSwiney, Representative
William E. Mason of Illinois. de-
nounced the placing of a wreath on
the graves of the soldier dead at
Arlington yesterday by Ambassador
Geddes, who. he declared. was not on

name of the department l invited all
of the diplomatic corps.
Ihe British ambassador at first de-
clined. but later, after the program
had been printed, accepted.
We were all very glad, indeed, to see
