Extreme Factions Demand
Right of Self Determination
| Special Gable to The Washington Herald
and Chicago Tribune.)
BY JOHN STEELE.

UBLIN, July 6.-The chief diff
culties about Mr.. De Valera's going
to London, which still remain to be
overcome. arise from the attitude of
the extreme factions in his own
party. who are not gunner but
doctrinaires and intellectuals and
who insist that Prime Mister Lloyd
George letter does not make II
clear whether he is willing to rec
ognize the essential unity of Ire
land and Ireland's right to self-de-
termination.
There is authority for saying that
both Mr.. De Valera and Arthur
and other leaders, are willing to
agree to remain in the British COM
monwealth of nations, which word
they prefer to empire, provided
their right to secession Is recog-
nized. They are also willing to
give Ulster all and more autonomy
than she now has provided she
agrees to accept 1t from the su-
preme parliament in Dublin.
Ulster takes the stand that has
Ter autonomy and she is going 20
keep 1t whether the South agrees
or not.
1t is for these reasons that Gen.
Smuts and other mediators are
asked to find a formula for recon
CLING these apparently conflicting
views. Gen. SHUTS is not expected
to return to Ireland; but Prime
Minister Lloyd George may per-
suade him to como again to ex-
plain the details for the plan of
settlement or to give assurances
as to the good faith of his offer.
The republican cabinet" is now
meeting daily In the Dublin man
sion house, discussing the situation
and planning for Fridays meeting.

a number of engineers to the Orient.
They propose to explore the KANT

as possible its value in all min

sources. whether the concession is
finally negotiated. and upon what
terms. will depend on the investi-
cation Of the engineers and geol-

The administration lately has dis
played considerable interest in the
status and general political make
up of the Chita government, fol-
lowing a formal request to the State
Department for American recogni-
ton of the new Far Eastern re-
public. An American government
agent, James F. Abbott, was sent
from Peking to Chita ten weeks
ago to investigate the new republic
and submit a report This mission
has just completed its work and
returned to China.

Rev. F. E. Clark Calls fol

NEW YORK. July s.-opposition
to Sabbath desecration. indecent
dress. sensuous and promiscuous
dancing and suggestive moving pic
lures was the keynote of the first
session of the Worlds Christian
Endeavor convention. which opened
at the Seventy-first Regiment Arm

The call to rally to this standard
was sounded by the Rev. Francis
E. Clark. president OF the orgsni-
zation. who made the principal ad-
dress.
The report OF Edward P. Gates,
general secretary of the United So
ciety of the Christian Endeavor,
said in part:
christian Endeavor is growing:
s.2SS new Christian Endeavor So
cieties have been organized in the
last two years.

Losses in societies and member

been more than made UP. There
ties today throughout the world
than ever before in the history of
the movement. The total Christian
Endeavor membership is larger.
Christian Endeavor is represented
in more denominations than ever
before. More nations are included
in our worldwide fellowship
There were three reasons for its
growth, said the speaker. Christian
Endeavor is adaptable to any de-
nomination and is the tool OF the
church, to be used as special needs
require in winning and training
young people for Jesus Christ. Sec
ond, its responsibility is entirely to
the church. pastor and denomina-

has not been afraid to hold up for
young people a standard of out and

LONDON, July "a spirit Of op-
ttmism as to the chances for success
in settling the Irish question per
vades official quarters n the British
capital tonight
A series of informal conferences
occurred today, attended by Prime
Minister Lloyd George; Gen Smuts.
who arrived from Dublin this morn
ing; Sir James Craig. and the Earl
of Middleton According to present
Indications there seems to be nc
question that the meeting between
the Southern Unionists and Eamonn
de Valera will be resumed on Fri
day.
The invitation for De Valera tc
visit London to meet PRIME Minister
Lloyd George possibly may be al
tered so that the invitation will be
issued by the King, following the
precedent established by the 1914
conference at Buckingham Palace
where the representatives of all the
Irish parties, as well as the govern
ment, were present There Is a be-
lief that the Kings initiative, a.
expressed in his Belfast speech, rem
ders him the most likely figure to
bring about peace
The cessation OF hostilities on
each side is expected during the ne
gotiations.
Gen. Smuts was able to announce
authoritatively the standpoint of
the Sim Fein and the difficulties
with which De Valera Is confronted.
The most important question was
how to reach a formula for settling
the problem in a manner satisfac-
tory to both the Sim Fein and U1-
ster.
The utmost silenct as to what
took place during the discussion is
being maintained, as II is realized
that nothing must be left undone
that would endanger this most IA
vorable opportunity for a settle
ment.

HUGHES POSITION
IN TREATY FIGHT
GAINS ADVANTAGE
Opponents Say Harding
Wouldn't Dare to Re-
submit Pact.

Practical legal procedure versus
politics, is the fight of the hour now
in Washington, staged in the peace
treaty arena and with President
Harding as referee.
Very soon the President must de-
eide for Secretary Hughes on the
one hand, sponsoring ratification of
the treaty of Versailles stripped of
the league covenant and other pro-
visions OF "insolvement. or hold
up the hand Of Republican Senate
leaders who declare the Versailles
pact cannot come back.
Betting Favors Hughes.
At present Secretary Hughes is
the favorite. He has Mr.. Harding's
ear and in several conferences since
the latter's return from New Jer-
sey. has delivered some telling
blows. The Senate irreconcilables,
on the other hand, are fighting at
long range. They haven't been
able to get close enough to the CEN
ter of the ring yet to do any effec-
tive mixing. And. while both sides
are confident. the betting favors
Hughes by long odds.
Mr.. Hughes, from the outset, has
stood for "engaging under the
treaty OF Versailles" in effecting a
peace basis with Germany. This mas
been his position for many months
and naturally he still adheres to
full knowledge of II in the SEN
ate. Republican leaders still insist
that the President would not dare"
to return even the emasculated Yer
sailles pact, because, say irrecon-
cilables, II would mean political
suicide
Must Protect U. s. Rights.
Interest in the contest has spread
throughout official and diplomatic
Washington. Virtually all other
phases of the routine connected
with the next peace step has been
submerged. The larger treaty prob
lem has taken the foreground be-
cause of the intimation in official
quarters that diplomatic relations
viii not be resumed with Germany
until the final peace understanding
is reached. This is primarily due
10 the fact, 1t is said, that the ad-
ministration does not wish to get
on a full peace basis with the
central powers until it has definite
ly establishes protection of its
rights under the. Versailles treaty.
In addition, however, certain de-
lays are unavoidable, particularly
IN the cases of Austria and Hun
gary. before relations can be re-
sumed.
Legislation Is Necessary.
Before envoys can be sent to
either Vienna or Budapest congress
sional legislation is necessary to
designate the nature of the diplo-
matte post to be established by this
country in those capitals. While
an embassy, carrying with II an
envoy with the rank of ambassa-
dor was formerly maintained by
the United States at the capital of
Austria since the dual
monarchy has been divided and
neither Austria nor Hungary are
now first class powers, Hughes
Will recommend creation of Ameri-
can legations at Vienna and Buda-
pest. This will mean that the. new
ENJOYS to these. powers will be
ministers and not ambassadors. An
ambassador, however. will be sent 20
