LONDON WELCOMES
 IRISH PRESIDENT
IRISH FLAGS WAVE AND IRISH SONGS ARE SUNG ALONG
 THE ROUTE.

London-Cheering crowds, number ing thousands, of London's Irishmen and women greeted Eamonn de Vale "a and the other members of the Irish peace delegation on their arrival at Euston station, London. The Irish Re publican flags waved and Irish songs were sung while London policemen cleared the way for the men who have been fighting Great Britain for three years. They were escorted to automo- piles which whisked them off to the Governor hotel, which will be their headquarters during their stay in the British capital.
 The delegation, besides Mir. de Va lera, consisted of Arthur Grifdths, Austin Stack and Robert Darton. Ac companying these were Lawrence ONeill, lord mayor of Dublin; Count Plunkett, member of the Dail Eireann; Erskine Childers, Sim Fein minister of publicity, and Miss O'Con- nell, de Valera's secretary.
 It was with the utmost difficulty the police cleared way for de Vale ra. The Irish leader was almost torn to pieces by the crowd trying 10 shake his hands and police had to pull en- thusiastc Irishmen off the roof of his automobile. Griffiths and the others received almost as warm welcome.
 The stage is all set now for the dra- matic meeting in Downing street. It icy ovnncfnd proJ,1in,. 1nUd Gnnron will receive the Irish delegation in the cabinet room He will De accom- panied by General Shuts, Sir Hamar Greenwood, Lord Birkenhead and Ar thur Balfour. It is believed the first conference will be informal without the Ulster delegates present. A basis of discussion will be reached and then the Ulsterites will be called in.
 The premier probably will preside at the first meeting, with General Shuts vice chairman, who will later take the chair permanently Both de Valera and Griffiths refused to give out a statement except 10 say they were not committed to any particular program.
 All along the route from Holyhead, crowds greeted the delegates Wfer- ever the train stopped and tried to shake hands with them. According to word from Dublin the truce is being strictly observed in Ireland. Fifteen minutes before the truce began, two policemen were wounded in Killarney during an attack on a police barracks by 30 rebels, who stopped attacking two minutes before the hour set for the truce.

EX-CERMAN CRAFT
 SUNK BY PLIERS
ARMY AVIAToRS PROVE THEIR ABILITY TO ATTACK ENE-
 MY FLEET.

On Board U. s. s. Delaware, Off Coast of Virginia Capes.-Army air men accounted for the former Ger man destroyer CHOP in what was re- garded by army and navy officials as one of the greatest spectacles in the history of the American Air Service.
 Thirty-fve army planes ard three blimps came so miles to sea from Langley field to part1cIpate in the operations, demonstrating the ability of this arm of the national defense forces to go out and meet an enemy fleet approaching the coast All ex. cept two of the aircrafts returned safely to their bases, and the crew of those two were rescued by naval ves- sels after the planes had been forced down.
 This, the third phase of the joint army and navy bombing tests, was strictly an army ~show" Twenty four of the aircraft that put out from shore took direct part in the attack, launching S4 bombs, 20 of which found the targets.
 Seventeen hits were made with 25- pound bombs dropped by 10 pursuit planes and apparently did little dam age. The other three hits were SCOT ed with 300-pounders and they sent the destroyer down to join the former German submarine U-117, sunk by na, val aviators three weeks ago.
 The first of the big bombs to find the mark struck the G-102's bridge, carrying part of it away and blowing out the forward smokestac-. The second-dropped by the same plane, the thirteenth of the Martin bombers in the second attacking squadron of 14-struck the starboard side of the destroyer near the waterline as she rolled in heavy swell and tore away part of the shell plating above and below the water.
 These two hits were scored at 10:20 a. m., 50 minutes after the first attack was started. The destroyer immediately began to settle by the bow and in five minutes her forecastle dock was nearly awash. It was ap- parent, however, to navy and army officers on the Delaware, the official observation ship, that the G-102 had not received her death blow as she ceased to settle, awaiting the final hit.

ARE NOT WILLING TO CONFER ON THE PROBLEMS OF
 THE FAR EAST.
FIRST HITCH IN THE PLAN
Tokyo Quite Agreeable To Attend the concIave To Discuss Disarmament But Withholds Pacific Issues
 Plans Proceed, However.

Washington. - Japan has come on ly half way ill responding to President Harding's invitation for her participa- tion in the proposed international con- ference at Washington on limitation of armaments and Pacific and Far Eastern problems which menace peace
 Responding to this governments proposal the Japanese government says that it would be delighted to participate in the conference on limf tation of armaments and stopped there. Japan, according to the State Department, was silent on the other phase of discussion, which is regard ed by the United States and the other nations to participate as of the most vital importance.
 Limitation of ornaments, it is agreed, must be contingent upon ad- justment of the problems of the Pa cific and the Far East. If Japan is going to rebel against consideration of these issues there may be serious breakers ahead for the world states men who are about to enter the Wash fngton conference with high hopes of reducing the expensive ornaments of the world.
 The president and Secretary Hughes are known, however, to 'be confident that Japan eventually will agree to participate in the whole pro gram. So confident are they that they are ignoring Japan's failure to re- spond to the second section Of the American invitation and 1t was an nounced that the official call for the conference would be issued by the president in the near future, probably within two weeks. China, the last of the powers to be heard from, replied favorably and unqualifedly.
 The State Department made it clear, although not publishing the text of Japan's reply, that the re- sponse did not express any "unwill- ingness to participate in considera- tion of Eastern questions.
 Notwithstanding the optimism oI the administration, the reply from Japan is regarded as significant in some uqarters here. But even those who believe that Japan may insist upon stipulations or qualifications be. fore agreeing to participate in the whole program outlined by the presi- dent, do not think that she can long stand out against Great Britain, France, Italy and the United States. Great Britain with the Anglo-Japa- nese alliance hanging in the balance. has formidable weapon of influence over the Far Eastern nation

Victed of violating the espionage act
ana other war time laws. Mr.. Pal
mer told the subcommittee that an
amnesty proclamation would not ef-

Mr.. Palmer also discussed the

ment by the National Popular Gov
ernment league. These charges were
drawn up, he declared. "by a grouD
or attorneys. many of whom were
counsel for persons arrested for de-
portation on charges OF being alien
radicals" Then asserting that "the
time has come when we need some
Thing more than blind allegations
