us. SOON TO REPLY
TO JAPAN ON YAP
Secretary Hughes Will An
sWer Claim to Exclusive
Jurisdiction.

It is expected that Secretary
Hughes shortly will reply to the
latest communication from the Japa-
nese government reiterating its claim
to exclusive jurisdiction over the Is
land of zap by virtue of the man
date awarded by the supreme coun-
Gil of the league of nations.
AS to Japanese control of the for
mer German cables centerinS in the
island, against which the United
States government particularly pro
tested. Japan is said to adhere to the
principle of free use of the cables by
all nations. but with operation and
control remaining under the power
that is in possession of the ends OF
the cables.
Japan holds that a similar arrange
ment exists in the case of the cable
that runs from the American owned
Island of Guam. in the Pacihc: TO
company which laid the cable, 1t
claims. admitted the right of Japan
to control the end which was Landed
in Japan, with the United states con-
trolling the end in Guam.
The Japanese vie :. also is uhder
stood to be that since direct ca5i"
communication between the nit"d
States and Asia by way of Guam and
Manila already exists. the line from
Guam to Asia via zap is only an in
direct overflow connection unneces-
sary in ordinary times, and that
therefore a cnanSe of control is not
urgent.
Meanwhile. it is suggested mat
since the league of nations council
has referred the American protest
addressed to it to the allied nations
a reply may come from that quarter
which may contain the germ OF
basis for adjustment.

CARDINAL GIBBONS ASKS
PEOPLE TO AID IRELAND
Special Appeal to All Americans
to Contribute Literally to
Relief Fund,

A special appeal by Cardinal Gibbons
will be read at all masses in Catholic
churches of the District Of Columbia
tomorrow calling upon Americans to
contribute literally to the fund for
the suffering women and children of
Ireland. for which a drive will be
conducted here March II to 2S, accord
ing to a communication received by
the Catholic clergy here yesterday.
II earnestly beg all kind hearted
and generous Americans to contribute
to the fund for the relief of the many
thousands now suffering in Ireland"
Cardinal Gibbons appeal begins. "Au-
thentic information reveals that vii.
laRcS, towns and cities have been. in
large part, burned or wrecked homes
laid in ruins. factories and creameries
destroyed and thousands of persons
and their families are left dependent
for food and shelter upon the charity
of others.
"All funds are to be expended solely
for relief under the supervision Of
men Of the highest Character and
Integrity In many places the situa-
tion is acute and relief Is now being
administered by a committee Of Amer
ican and Irish Quakers, without dis
tinction of politics or religion
THE Irish out of their poverty,
have more than once in times past
sent aid to suffering Americans. Nor.
should We forget that not even to the
French nation do we owe more for
the achievement of our independence
than we owe to the Irish soldiers Of
the American revolution.
ITO the French we have proved that
a nation may be moved by sentiments
Of gratitude. Let US pay some small
portion of our debt to the Irish by
practical sympathy with their suffer-
ings."
