Continued Reign Of Terror Un-
less England Yields, Is
Mayors Prediction.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1O.-"Unless
England voluntarily grants Ireland
the freedom it justly deserves, we
must look forward indefinitely to
a continued reign of terror, bar
barism, and bloodshed, which will
eventually result in the complete
devastation of the Emerald Isle.
TWO LOGICAL BINDINGS.
There are only two logical end
ings to the situatiop-either absolute
liberty for the Irish people, or utter
ruin for the country, which will be
laid waste.
"As for home rule. the Irish will
not have 1t, and England cannot force
1t upon them, for they are determined
to resent 1t with their last drop OF
blood"
Thus spoke Donald J. O'Callsghan.

the return OF conquering hero.
All the way from Norfolk, Va.

CAPPER TO OPPOSE
EXTENSION OF LOAN
Europe's Methods Called Great
Confidence Game" by Kansas
Senator in Article.
ny ARTHUR CAPPER.
United stntes Senator from Kansas

IL seems rather significant that
Lord Chalmers, special representative
OF the British EXchequer, who is now
on his way to Washington to negotiate
for the re-funding OF war loans made
to Great Britain by the United states,
should wish 10 consummate the bus
mess OF paying war debts with an
with whom it will have
no concern after the fourth OF
March.
Europe's great confidence game
still Is being played. and the most
astonishing part of the whole trans
action lies in the proposal by our
pone for a quarter of century
the payment of the interest on her
colossal debt to us.
Our own national debt is so colos-
sal that it requires more than a
billion dollars every year merely TO
pay the interest. That is as much
as the debt itself amounted to in
the year before the world war.
To make IL worse, Uncle Sam
should be receiving nearly half Of
this amount annually from European
governments as interest on the ten
billions lent them, but their unwilling
ness or inability to pay means that
Uncle Sam has TO go down in his
own pockets--the pockets of the
peoplc--to pay the interest on these
bonds
One after another. Great Britain's
financial emissaTies, including
Viscount Grey and Sir George Paish,
have visited Washington to conclude
gigantic loans, and now We hear that
Lord Chalmers is on the way for the
purpose OF continuing negotiations
with the Wilson administration.

PEACE COUNCIL
Wilson Policy Forces Envoys'
Withdrawal From Deliberations
of Allied Ambassadors.
WALLACE TO BE RECALLED
American Representative to
Take No Part in Conference
Of German Reparations.

1t is understood that the United
States has decided to withdraw from
the Council of Allied Ambassadors
Ambassador Wallace will not par
ticipate in the council of allied pre-
miers in Paris on January 10, when
the question of German reparations
is to be determined.
WILSON POLICY BLAMED.
This action has been decided upon
on account OF the unwillingness OF
the Wilson Administration to inter-
pret the mandate Of the American
people with regard to American
policies in Europe as IL may have
neen expressed in the recent elec-
tlons IL was stated authoritatively.
The withdrawal from the council
Of ambassadors practically ends all
participation by the United States in
tho execution of the treaty OF Yer
sailles. This Government will still
maintain it's representative on the
phineland commission, but this is
justified on ground that United States
troops are still on German soil un'
der the terms of the armistice.
The conference in, Paris on JAM
uary 10 follows the dispatch by
france of a note to Germany setting
forth that the French believe Ger
many has failed to live up to the
terms of the Versailles treaty. and
asserting that France reserves the
right to take steps to enforce the
treaty.
A copy of this note was delivered to
the American State Department on
December 81 and the French ambas-
sador at that time indicated that an
American representative would be
welcomed at the conference.
The ambassador also asked the
United States to make a separate in
vestigation OF the facts in the case
The attitude of the United States has
been that France should not occupy
the Ruhr valley. but this Government
has never believed that France con-
templated isolated action.
ENJOYS NOT NOTIFIED.
1t is understood that the American
representatives in Europe have not
vet been notified of this Governments
intention to withdraw from the coun-
ell of ambassadors, but notification
will probably be sent Immediately.
The Council of Ambassadors was
formed to take care of questions still
pending regarding. first, the armistice
conditions, and second, the treaty OF
Versailles. The attitude OF this Gov
ernment is that all of the import ant
questions regarding the armistice
have been disposed Of and that in
asmuch as the United states has de-
clined to ratify the treaty OF Ver-
sailles. we have no further interest at
present in the work OF the council
Officials assert that it would be a
very easy matter for the new admin
stration to resume a place with the
allied conference IL the policy of the
lew administration so dictates.
