FOR
PEACE IN ERIN
Reports From Various Coun-
ties Show Treaty is Favored
by Big Majority
EXPECT BIG SENSATION
De Valera May Withdraw 0p-
position and Appeal to Peo-
pie Will be Unnecessary

LONDON, Dec. 27 (By The Asso-
ciated Press)-Sentimen throughout
ireland as reflected in dispatches in
London newspapers today is over
whelmingly in favor, of the Irish
peace treaty. Reports from various
provinces indicate that fully ninety
per cent of the people in the twenty
six counties of southern Ireland want
the pact ratified This confirms pre-
G.ctions when the Dali Eireann ad-
journed debate last Thursday until
January 3, that the recess would
bring definite expression of the pep
Pies will. The view is now put
forward that when the Dahl reassem-
hles the treat will be approved by a
majority which will MAKE an appeal
to the country unnecessary.
The Morning Post correspondent
said the rumor is afoot of a posi-
Bile sensation before the Dali meets
again, this being taken to mean that
E.amon de Valera intends to an
rcunce the withdrawal of his oppo-
s:t:on in view of the overwhelming
work of the people.
The Times sent correspondent
to County Clair. the council of
which appeals to MIR. de Valera to
abandon his opposition. Clair is
known as the banner county from
its having been the traditional home
of Irish political movements, among
them Daniel O'ConnelPs emancipa-
ton campaign and Charles Stewart
ParnelPs land league struggle.
The reporter discussed the ques-
tion with all ranks and classes CT
people, with the highest ecclesiasti-
Gals to the lowest menials. and said
that while he heard nothing in dis
paragement of Mr.. de Valera, he
was assured that from seventy to
eighty per cent. of the country fav-
ors the treaty. The minority he be-
lieves to be members of the Irish
repu -lican army.
The London correspondent of the
Times cites as evidence of public
support the fact that a long letter
from Eskirne Childers, published in
papers Saturday, explaining and
supporting the alternative oath of
allegiance ascribed to Mr.. de Val
era. attracted little interest.
Moreover, it was regarded as a
breach of the agreement made for
the Dairs rising that none of the
mem bers would issue controversial
statements during the recess and was
Interpreted as an indication that de
Valera's party is incI easingly in fear
of defeat.
Arthur Griffith, one of the leading
pro o-ratificationists countered the
letter with a statement declaring it

During the war years the President
often came unannounced TO the Navy
Department, to consult, suggest. and,

encourage and stimulate. This lat
ter service was invaluable to us.

Keen Naval Instinct.
President wilson's interest was
neither perfunctory nor official. He
had the keenest naval instinct. He
was born with it. When Thomas
Woodrow Wilson was a boy-before
he dropped the "ThomaS"-he chose
for himself a naval career.
His boyhood was spent on the banks
of a river, and he loved boating next
to books. or at times even more than
books. He had a penchant for sail
ing: he loved sea tales, and his ambl-
ton was to follow Jones and Farra-
gut and Dewey.
Thomas Woodrow's father, a schol-
arly Presbyterian preacher of the old
school, vetoed the naval career. When
the chance came to go to Annapolis
he said, in substance: mo: you are

II was President Wilson who ad-

1t was President Wilson who con-

Obviously we had no ready made

President Vetoes Plan.
Admiral Sims. together with some
other Americans, was inclined to
agree with the allies that this plan
was the one we should adopt.
But not so the President He dis
missed the proposal as soon as he
heard of it. Gen. Pershing was equal
y emphatic in repudiating it. If Gen.
Pershing had recommended it I be-
lieve President Wilson would have
been tempted most strongly to recall
him. The President believed America
could raise and train an expeditionary
force big enough and quickly enough
to take it's equal place in the field
with the veteran armies and do it's
full share to bring victory. He had
faith in American capacity. and he
knew that Americans would never
fight so we'll under alien leadership as
they would under the command OF

President felt gave US just right to
