TEXTILE STRIKE
STILL DEADLOCK
Mill Owners and Strike Leaders
in Rhode Island and New
Hampshire Are Obdurate.
(By The Associated Press)

BOSTON. Feb. 26-The beginning OF
the sixth week in Rhode Island and the
third week in New Hampshire of the
strike which has closed many cotton mills
finds mill owners and strike leaders in
both states apparently determined to
maintain their positions. Some $4,000
operatives are idle.
In Rhode Island state board OF media
tion and conciliation has asked manu-
facturers and stock leaders Of the Paw
tucket and Blackstone Valleys to reply by
afternoon next, to its proposition
that its chairman, Judge J. Jerome Hahn.
be appointed sole mediator of the wage
dispute. This proposition would involve
the return Of the operatives TO the mills
at once, at a rate of wages to be deter
mined by Judge Hahn and to be effective
until his final decision and at the hours
OF labor that prevailed before the strike
He would make no decision in regard to
working hours, which the board considers
matter for the legislature to deter
mine.
No mediation move is pending in New
Hampshire. The governor and council
last week refused to call special session
of the legislature to consider the enact
ment of a 4S-hour law for mill workers,
on the ground that a bill for such pur-
pose was decisiyely defeated at the last
regular session and that it's success at a
special session was improbable.

German shoulders by Philip Scheidemann,
former German chancellor, in a lecture
before the students association at Copen-

Scheidemann said he believed the form

he was demanded as a victim by the

The former chancellor who was given

followed by democratic government the
war possibly might have been averted.

nounces Proposed Treaty.
tsy Tho Associated Pressl

LIMERICK, Feb. 26.-Eamon De-
Valera, accompanied by Liam Mel
loves and Harry ]. Bolan, continued
his campaign today. The party spent
last night at Ennis, where Mr.. De-
Valera delivered a speech at noon to-
day to his own constituents. After
ward he motored here, finding the
large square packed with people and
the approaches to the square lined
with uniformed vo1unt sers. On the
platform were the lord mayor and cor
poration and many other prominent
persons. Devalera spoke briefly and
vigorously. Denouncing the treaty, he
said:
e'we are like party set out to cross
a desert, we have reached a green
oasis and there some would tell us to
lie down and rest. But we must go on.
The path we are asking you to tread
is the narrow path of sacrifice. Don't
allow yourself to be tempted by the
f1abby softness of the free state. Hold
on, and in the end you viii get some
thing you can be proud Of"
Resolutions supporting the DeYalera
view were carried by acclamation.
Mr.. BoIand in a speech declared:
IF we are weak, England also is
weak. her troubles are piling up, she
can never attempt by force to con-
quer this country, and we must show
her that she cannot achieve by guile
what she failed to do by force"
After the meeting, Mr.. DeValera re-
ceived the volunteers. -.
BELFAST, Feb. 2e.-Eamon DeVa-
Iera, in continuing his e1ectioneering
campaign, was received last night at
Ennis, County Claire, with enthusiasm.
Ennis is Mr.. DeValera's constituency.
He was met at the station by a uni
formed guard of honor and escorted
by a procession to a hotel. The town
was illuminated.
In acknowledging the reception ac-.
corded him, Mr.. DeValera said he and
his followers had heard strange things
in Dubhn-that so per cent of the Irish
people were willing to fling away the
nations birthright.
do you believe it?" asked one of
his auditors.
"No," replied Mr.. DeValera, IT don't.
I am certain that as long as there is
one of the brave Dal Cassians left
Irish aspirations will never be aban-
doned."
The speaker declared, however, that
the danger of fighting an election that
had threatened the people had been
avoided for the moment. He said he
was satisfied If mistakes were to hap
pen the people were determined that
the nation was not going to be fooled
again.

Carefully Selected Toilettes Will

Gus Show of Gowns.
(ey The Associated Press)

LONDON, Feb. 25.-The air minis
,try's weather forecast of dull, rainy
weather for the first few days of this
week has failed to lessen the enthusi-
asm over Tuesdays great event, the
wedding of Princess Mary to Viscount
Lascelles, in Westminster abbey. 1t is
fairly certain that a combination OF
one Of London's worst fogs and a tor
rental downpour would not prevent
multitudes from lining the route which
is to be traversed by the state car
riages bearing the bride-elect and
King George and Queen Mary to the
abbey.
Against the vagaries of the weather,
waterproof shelters have been pro-
vided for the several stands in front of
Buckingham palace, whence the pro-
cession will start, and about the west
door of the abbey. Should the skies be
of modish merry blue" the state pro-
cessions, which are to a part of the
elaborate wedding ceremonial, and the
beautiful gowns of the wedding guests
viii afford the populace a spectacle of
SURPRISING elegance.
The carefully selected toilettes of
the more than one hundred thousand
woman guests will make the event a
gorgeous show of gowns, jewels and
other fineries, the furnishing of which
has been a welcome stimulant to the
trade of dressmal5ers, shopkeepers and
business people in general.
The hotels and restaurants are shar-
ing in the benfits. Tonight it was
more difficult to find lodgings, even
jim the humblest OF establishments
than at any time since the coronation
of King George. The restaurants and
clubs have labored in their endeavors
to cope with the avalanche of patrons,
the numbers of which are being in
creased heavily by excursionists from
all parts of the kingdom and the con-
tinent.
AS far as has been ascertained,
George Harvey, the American ambas-
sador, and Mrs. Harvey, viii be the
only Americans fortunate enough to
receive invitations to the abbey SER
vice. 1t Is known that there are
dozens of transatlantic visitors at
tracted to London by the wedding who
are endeavoring by the exertion of in
fluence in diplomatics, courts and
business and by large sums of money
to obtain coveted tickets of admission.
The dressmakers and mil1iners who
made the dresses and hats of Princess
Mary are to be her guests at Bucking-
ham palace tomorrow, when they will
have a glimpse of the marvellous ac-
emulation of wedding gifts exhibited
in the state rooms.
Some Of the enterprising tenants of
offices in Piccadilly and other streets
which are to be traversed by Viscount
Lascelles and his bride will realize a
years rental from the sale of seats in
windows, SO keen is the desire of the
people for a. glimpse of the couple. The
Inland revenue officials have decided
that a wedding, even one with royal
