MS challenge to ireland 10 uphold
the treaty which establishes the free
state has greatly strengthened tho
hand of the provisional government
leaders.
This was apparent today after tho
country had had ample opportunity
TO digest the import OF the colonial
secretarys threat OF ro-occupatlon.
Irish citizens of the south have
boen aroused to determined activity
TO end the present unsatisfactory
condition of lawlessness and inter
ference with establishment of the
free state.
The question asked on all sides is:
where does DE Valera stand?
The republican chieftain reiter-
ated to the British press state
ment he had earlier given the United
Press, namely that he denied the
right of any Englshman TO pre-
scribe what Irish men shall or shall
not do"
The fact, not generally appreciat-
ed abroad that two divisions of
British troops with artillery are
camped in Phoenix Park, former
possession of the viceroy, and that
British troops are strongly mobolized
in several Dublin barracks, serves to
bring home to the public here the
power behind the British threat of
re-occupation.
Ireland does not want to go
through that again and the average
man is quite ready to support the
peace treaty.

TIGER CAN'T SPEAK IN SENATE, LODGE RULES
Invokes Rules to Protect Bo- rah and Hitchcock; Only
 a Private Citizen.

Washington, Dec. S.-The report that Georges Clemenceau, French '"Tiger" might be permitted to speak from the Senate rostrum in reply to attacks made upon him by Senators Borah and Hitchcock for his i'm perialistic policies, was effectively set at rest yesterday.
 Senator Lodge, majority leader, announced that Clemenceau will not be allowed to speak in the Senate.
 No Official Status
 The technical reason, as supplied by Lodge, is that Clemenceau came to this country solely in the capa- city of private citizen of France and possess no official status what eyer. The rules of the Senate, Lodge explained, make it impossible for citizen Clemenccau to make 8 speech in that forum.
 When a suggestion was made that the rules of the Senate might per haps be stretched q bit to enable Clemcnceau to deliver a speech there, it was received without enthusiasm.
 Clemenceau paid his second visit to the White House yesterday, this time as the honor guest at state luncheon rendered by President There he met Vice Presi- dent Coolidge, Chief Justice Taft, mos; of the members of the Hard ing cabinet and other officials of the federal government including Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of chairman of the Senate committee on foreign rela- tiOns.
