WALSH REPLIES ID
 BRITISH STATEMENT
 REGARDING IRELAND
Challenges Geddes to Present Evidence to Disprove Find ings or Stand Branded as
 WiIfuI FaISifier
Rr Associnted Prnss

Washington, April 1-Frank P. Walsh as counsel for the republic of Ireland" issued today rejoinder to the statement of the British embassy made in reply to the report of the commits sion of the committee of 100 investi- gating conditions in Ireland. He char acterized the British statement as a gross perversion of facts" and chal- lenged Ambassador Geddes to appear before the commission, or some in ternational tribunal, and present his evidence to disprove the commissions findings on penalty of being branded by Mir. Walsh as ''wilful and malicious falsifier."
 The gross perversion of facts in Ambassador Geddes' statement" MT. Walsh said, lis proved not only by the public statements of distinguished British statesmen who have investi- gated conditions in Ireland, but also by the admission of Premier Lloyd George and Sir Hamar Greenwood in the House of Commons.
 AFRAID TO APPEAR
 The British ambassador has selected the public press for his answer to the evidence of witnesses who ap peared before the commission. Neither the British ambassador or any other defender of British terrorism in Ire- land dared to appear before the com mission and publicity present their testimony in open court
 The British amba ssador now states that he has in his possession evidence which diproves the findings of the commission. l am ready to join with British Ambassador Geddes in a re- quest that the commission be imme- diately called together to hear the evidence he claims he has in his pos session or to meet him in the presen- tation of evidence regarding the Brit ish atrocities in Ireland before any properly constituted international tribunal.
 If the British ambassador refuses to present his evidence before such a tribunal where it may be challenged shall brand him as wilful and mall- cious falsifier.'
 CLAIMS PROOF OF TORTURE
 On behalf of the republic of Ire land,' the statement continued, q am prepared to prove that the British forces in Ireland have repeatedly tor

 Mary had to smile For she was but human, and these comments certainly were flattering.
 But how excellent to learn that Car rington Bellairs' criticism was based on jealousy, and not suspicion of her motives! He must never learn that she his secretary--had warned Dick Calard- in against his Mexican mines. In all other transactions Mary fully believed her employer to be fair and equitable; otherwise she wouldn't have worked under him another day. In this particular deal" too it was possible that he considered he was acting hon orably. The, mines might one day pay I-perhaps he actually believed in them But Mary had heard so many criti- cisms of the venture" that she feared it. And Dick Celardin mustn't risk his hard-won cash!

 This reversal of the usual relations of employe and employer caused Mary some embarrassment. But this wasn t certainly the moment to remark that fact
 And so she thanked him with her usual sweet simplicity.
 You can run off, now" he said, land make yourself look pretty for that backwoods chap" He gave a short laugh as though his jealousy had been absurd and quite unfounded.
 Thank you'll work for another ten minutes and clear these letters up then go," she answered.
 Her employer walked into the inner office. Then. before he closed the door, he turned around half laughing:
 My ward, Eve Rochester, seems to think that young Calardin Is her pet possession! Don't poach on her pre- serves, Miss Drew-unless you want the fur to fly!'
 The heart of Mary gave queer, un- comfortable twinge. But valiantly she made some light rejoinder. She wasn't going to let the whole world read her feelingsl

Back in April, 1891, at Jackson Ala bama, there was born babe namely R. Vernon Harris. As this little fel- low grew to be big boy he came to Birmingham to live where he attended the public schools. He was bright and studious and acquired many advap- tages over the average boy at school and graduated from school with very high percentage. After leaving school he wanted to work and started with the Mcvay Seed company In 1915 this firm went into the hands of a receiver and when it's financial affairs were settled new board of directors were selected, MT. Harris being chosen as secretary Up to this time MT. Harris worked hard for the interest of this firm watching the business from every angle. He install led a successful mail order system of selling seeds, flowers, poultry feeds and supplies as well as big business in Birmingham.
 In June 1920 the name of the Nc Way Seed company. was changed to the Harris Floral and Seed company. MT. Harris was then elected president of the company, and his brother Leon Harris, vice president and secretary treasurer. MT. Vernon Harris. then made other changes in their policy which has now made this business one of the largest in the south. All goods are of a high standard of quality and are sold accordingly and through mail orders thronughout Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi.
 The farmer who depends upon his seed for a better crop knows this firm is one that has adopted a reputation of reliability, quality and service. For the better grades of dependable feeds this firm has also proven that their knowledge of the business is authoritative as the best poultry rasers in this section patronize them for that reason.
 The floral and poultry department has grown by leaps and bounds from year to year and no matter what is needed in this line they have it backed by quality and service.
 MT Harris has studied this business so thoroughly that farmers from everywhere now communicate with him asking for information possible for concern of it's kind to give. This lis another part of service that has helped increase their business in nearly all the rural districts. There is no question pertaining to their busi- ness that cannot be answered correctly and this has only been acquired by a hard study of-~conditions. MT. Harris is a member of the Shrine. also the Exchange club and has always con tributed to every worthy cause and has taken active interest in every thing for the benefit of the community. The success that MT. Harris has won m business was through carerui ar- tentions to business and dependency. AHe has made it possible always to Skeep his word and directs the policy of this firm accordingly.
