By the Associated Press.

DUBLIN, November 15.-In an ap-
peal to the Irish people on behalf of
Miss Mary MacSwiney, who has been
on a hunger strike for eleven days in
Mountjoy prison, the other woman
political prisoners in that institution
declared today that she had undergone
a great change for the worse and that
it was feared she would die.
Rumors that she had died were not
confirmed by the prison authorities.
Cardinal Logue, primate of Ireland,
suggests the release of Miss Mary
Macswiney from the prison. His sug-
gestfon was contained in a telegram
to Kelvin O'Higgins, Free State min
lister Of home affairs. The message
said that more harm would be caused
by retaining the woman prisoners in
Ireland than by liberating them.
Yesterday a message requesting the
cardinal ito inform the holy father
that the jail chaplain refuses the
sacrament" to Miss Macswiney was
sent to him over the signatures of
Mrs. Pearse. mother of Patrick H.
Pearse, provisional president of Ire
land" who was executed during

Ceannt, whose husband also was ex-
ecuted; Mrs. Charles Burgess, widow

defense. and Mrs. O'Rahilly, who re-
Gently was released from prison. They
dispatched a similar telegram to the
secretary Of state at the Vatican.

ssNO BOX, NO MAlL''
ORDER FIGHT SEEN
IN NEXT CONGRESS

Faced by hundreds of thousands of
householders throughout the country,
who steadfastly refuse to install mail
boxes or slots at their front doors,
the Post Office Department Is worry
ing about how it is going to enforce
the mo box-no mail" order pro-
mulgated last summer.
Thousands of residents of Wash
ington, literally hundreds Of thou
sands of dwellers in Greater New
York city, thousands upon thousands
more throughout the United States
have made no step toward complying
with the order.
Some officials of the postal service de-
clared fatty yesterday afternoon that
the order cannot be enforced, although
January 1 has been set as the dead
line" for the boxes, after which q
person not complying is expected to
have to go to the post office for his
mail.
It was understood today that the
order will be the subject for discus
sion in Congress when 1t convenes,
and it would not be strange, 1t Is
declared, If bills are introduced to
prevent the Post Office Department
from carrying out its threat.
Some officials stated that the spec
tacle of thousands of persons In this
or any other city parading to the post
office each day for their mail Is un-
thinkable, that 1t would clog post
offices with mail, and that 1t simply
can't be done"

section 1852. Revised Statutes Of the
United States. The hearing started
at 2 o'clock, and John F. Finerty.
president of the American Associa-
tion for the Recognition of the Irish
Republic. announced that they would
plead not guilty. United States Dis
trict Attorney Peyton Gordon was
present to represent the government.

Three Spend Night In Jail.
Mrs. MacSwiney, Mrs. Mary Ann
Nolan of Jacksonville. Fla. who is
more than eighty years of age. and
Miss Minnie kearney. spent the night
in the house Of detention, having re-
fused bonds. They were model pris-.
oners. it was said at the house OF
detention today, and all of them ate
suppers and breakfasts supplied
them. Six of the defendants were
released on bonds furnished by Thom-
as w. Lyons. national secretary OF
the American Association for the
Recognition of the Irish Republic, Of
which the women are members.
Finerty stated that the women
would plead not guilty on the
grounds that they had violated no
law. Revised statute No. 4062 under
which they were arrested reads as
follows:
Every person who violates any
safe conduct or passport duly OBJ
tanned and issued under authority of
the United States; or who assaults
strikes. wounds. imprisons. or in any
other manner offers violence to the
person of a public minister. in vi
olation of the law of nations, shall
be imprisoned for not more than
three years and fined at the discretion
of the court"
Basis for Deportation.
One official called attention that in
the case Of prisoner not a citizen of
the United States deportation could
be ordered.
The statute, according to Maj. Cor
don, is an old one, and was invoked
two years ago when four woman
picketers were arrested at the British
embassy during a demonstration in
behalf Of the Irish republican move
ment. At that time State Depart
ment and other officials laid down as
a policy that such conduct was to be
considered an insult to representa-
tives of friendly power.
In response to questions Attorney
Gordon said there would be no at
tempt to make an example of the
woman prisoners in an EFFORT to stop
picketing in Washington, but every
precaution would be taken to prevent
similar occurrences before the en-
bassies and legations of foreign
powers.

DR.. Joseph Wirth has been chan
cellor of Germany since May 10, 1921,

For some time DR.. Wirth faced
troublous times. owing to his min

to extend the basis of his coalition

The authorization had been deferred

Late in October the reichstag voted
a recess of two weeks in order that
the chancellor might adjust the diff

with the other coalition parties in
connection with their attitude rela-
tive to financial and economic prob

bill and the governments failure to
adopt prompt measures to curb specu-

the attitude of the radicals an unmis-
