went on strike. I should be COM
PEELED to say that l do not know"

Hughes Pleads for National
Patriotism Before D. A. r.
British and French Ambassadors Join Presi
dent General Mrs. Minor in Opening Larg-
est Attended Conclave of Society.

Hughes speech was preceded by a
selection by the band and music
by Mrs. William II. McGervey.
Says Nation Needs Patriotism.
1T must ever remain true that
the most necessary and difficult
study OF free peoples is democracy
itself" Secretary Hughes contin-
ued. 1--WE need the civic tradition
that can only come from long prac-
tice of people imbued with the
highest patriotism and the spirit
of loyal service.
The best civic tradition is the
devotion to civic duty at whatever
cost. a devotion which does not
measure its sacrifice in dollars. II
is the tradition of respect for the
law. and above all the tradition OF
wise self-restraint, both In our pri-
vate conduct and in our political
activities.
Public opinion should demand Of
those who influence the public on
the platform or through the press
a sense of civic responsibility. Moth
ing is more regrettable than the
apparent lack of IL at the present
time. and the only cure for intem-
perate statement is the resentment
OF an Intelligent community.
Praises Spirit Of Conference.
Those who indulge in diatribes
against foreign peoples and their
governments. who hold them up 10
ridicule. impute {. them base mo-
tives and asperse their honor, are
enemies first of their own coun-
tries. and as such. deserve their
censure!" In his opening phrases,
Mr.. Hughes thanked the society for
the loan Of their h" and pointed
out the true significance OK Tire re-
cent conference is TO be- found in
the fact that there has never been
manifested a finer spirit OF inter
national cooperation than was
evinced by the nations whose repre-
scntatives assembled in this hall.

From One of His Cars.
CHIEF NAILS LIE"

DUBLIN. April l7.-Ireland is in
turmoil over the attempted assassi-
nation of Michael Collins. head of
the provisional government. Free
State forces unuucstionably have
been strengthened by the attack.
many holding that the Republicans
overstepped the line in attempting
bodily assault upon one OF Ireland $
popular heroes.
Collins and Griffith are being
urged to take drastic action. their
friends believing De Valera will
not dare countenance an attempt
at assassination of his rivals.
Collins was unperturbed this
morning after his narrow escape
and was not attended by any un-
usual guard. He resumed his reg
ular routine work at Free State
headquarters.
Thinks He Wounded One.
1T is difficult to know Just the
intentions Of my assailants." Col
lins said in an interview. Il think
they intended to kidnap me. I do
not believe they intended to kill.
One in particular aimed at me
three OF four times. ! asked him
if he knew me. He replied that
he did not. | asked him why he
was doing this and he replied. 'on
orders from the executive He is
now in Jail and will be prosecuted.
think l wounded one of the
band"
Art O'Connor. insurnegt leader
denied that there had been any
attempt to assassinate Collins. He
said shots were fired first from one
Of Collins cars.
That's a damned lie" Collins
said when told Of the assertion.
Seen As showdown.
The strength of the Free State
forces was increased further by the
successful meeting staged by Art
Griffith. head of the Daial Eireann.
at Sligo. Elaborate military pre-
cautions were taken to overawe the
Republican insurgents. Free State
troops lining the route from the
station to the main square where
Griffith spoke from a motor lorry,
Republicans had occupied all halls
but they dare not interfere with
Griffith in view of the precautions
taken. despite their previously an
nounced determination to prevent
the meeting at all costs. The
meeting was viewed in the light
of showdown with the Free
Staters victorious.
Leaders of the Republican ex-
tremists declared tonight the at
tack on Collins was unintentional
and that he became implicated only
because he happened into the vicinity
of one of several attacks.

The American Legion. which filed
protest with the State and Labor
departments against the admission
into the United States of Gen.
Semenoff. took a hand yesterday in
the agitation before the Senate
Labor Committee for Semenoff's de-
portation.
John Thomas Taylor. vice chair
man OF the legion's national legis-
lative committee, submitted to the
Borah investigating committee de-
tails of its activities to prevent the
admission of the Russian Cossack
leader to this country and recon-
mended that:
Secretary Hughes of the Depart
ment of State. and Secretary Davis
of Department of Labor. or their
proper representatives. should be
invited to appear before this COM
mittee so that responsibility for
Semenoff's admission to the United
States may be determined.
That II the law governing such
cases be found to permit admission
of men of this character. without
regard for the wishes of the respon-
sible department head. that law be
amended to prevent this in future:
and
That Semenoff should be deport-
ed. not only because he Is unfit to
touch American soil, but so that all
may know that America will not
countenance acts Of the character
committed under the authority of
this man."
raaatvaA
a report that contained the sugges-
tion that Gen. Semenoff was en-
route to Paris to plan a counter
revolution against the Soviet re-
gime in Russia.
The report was communicated TO
the Labor Department by the i'm
migration board at Vancouver,
which permitted Semenoff to enter
the country for sixty days. and was
laid before the committee by w. w.
Husband. commissioner general OF
immigration.
The State Department has decided
that Boris Bakhmeteff. Russian
.Amba ssador." Is entitled to diplo-
matte immunity and cannot be
summoned before the committee.
Mr.. Bakhmeteff represents the
Kerensky regime. which has not
existed for two years, but the opin-
ion of the State Department re-
yeals that he still is recognized.
This opinion is to be communicated
to Senator Borah. chairman OF the
committee. by Secretary of State
Hughes. Mr.. Bakhmeteff appealed
TO the State Department when he
