NEW YORK
! representatives of Irish societiea in
1 the United States, who have been visit
' ing Dublin and other cities, Colonel
E. M, House has decided to reconsider
his promise to act as interniediary be?
tween the delegates and Premier Lloyd
George upon their return to Paris, ac?
cording to a Reuter's dispatch.
Colonel House's decision is said to
be the result of a reported statement
by Premier Lloyd George last week
that he would not hold out recognition,
either official or semi-official, to the
delegates.
The report that f. Premier had
ca.iceled arrangeraents to receive the
delegates was current in Dublin to?
day, but could not be conlirmed. Mr.
Dunn and Mr. Ryan reached London
to-night, but declinod to make any
statement. Mr. Walsh remained in
Dublin when his colleagues left that
city, and is expected to arrive here
to-morrow.
-Mr. Lloyd George has been subject
ed to severe attacks for his alleged
encouragement of the delegates' activi
ties, which are regarded as an unwar
ranted interference with British do
mestic affairs. Even a serious journal
like the "Spectator" has gone so far
as to assert that a "dangerous con
spiracy" is afoot for committing the
Premier and the British government
to virtual recognition of the Irish Re
public. Other newspapers complain
that the fact that the delegates have
fraternized with Sinn Fein leaders
has given the Sinu Fein movement
new life, be3ide^placing the British
authorities in Ireland in on cmbar- !
rassing position. The question has
been asked what would be thought if
a British delegation should visit the
United States on a mission of a like
character.
Lloyd George 9s Act
Called Stupid Here
Cohalan Characterizes Re
fusal to Meet Dele?
gates as "Blundering"
Leading Irish-Americans here inter?
ested in the establishment, of Ireland
*as a separate state yesterday charac
tcrized as "stupid" and "blundering"
the refusal of Premier Lloyd George to
meet the American-Irish delegation.
They generally believed that the sud?
den reversal of Lloyd George's attitude
was in a great measure due to the
pressure of the ultra-conservatives,
who feared the effects of a tour of
Ireland by the American delegates.
"Lloyd George didn't want anything
to interfere with his task of having
England's main problem solved?that
of working through the treaty of peace
as she wanted it, with clause ten un
amended in the proposed league of na?
tions pact," said Justice Daniel F.
Cohalan. "He asked for a hearing with
the American delegates, but put it off
indefinitely. His subsequent actions
simply showed further evidence of the
stupidity with which England acts in
her government of Ireland.
"American public opinion is now
aroused as it has never been before.
Ireland asks only an opportunity to
povern herself and looks now to Amer?
ica to get for her the opportunity to
nresent her case at Versailles. Amer?
ican public opinion demands this be
done in the interests of peace for the
whole world, including England."
Judge John Jerome Rooney regards
the matter as a tempest in a teapot.
"Premier Lloyd George said he would
like to see the American delegates. He
is now trying to make it appear that
the American committee asked for the
meeting.
"The application for passports dis
tinctly stated the objects, namely, to
confer on political subjects with the
Irish delegation. He couldn't have
mistaken their mission. Mr. Lloyd
George has simply followed out his old
line of expediency and faithlessne.is
piacticed both under the Asquith and
his own regime.
"If the peace conference refuses to
recognize the Irish Republic, so much
the worse for the peace conference and
so much the worse for the peace of.'he
world and the fuliillm'ent of the solemn
pledges given by our American Presi?
dent and indorsed by the Allied Powers
when America entered the war."
Irish Leaders Fined
OnPassportCharge
"General" Liam Mellowes and Dr.
Patrick McCarten, the Irish leaders,
who, with James M. McDermott, were
arraigned 4>efore Judge Learned Hand
in the Federal District Court yesterday
to answer to an indictment charging
them with conspiring to dofraud the
United States by obtaining false pass?
ports, entered pleas of guilty and were
find $250 each. The lines were paid.
Mellowes was one of the recognized
leaders ot the Sinn Fein ih the Easter
riots of 1016. After the defeat of the
rcvolutionists Mellowes went into hid
ing, finally making his way to the
United States in December, 1916, as a
coal passer on the steamship St. Paul.
Operatives of the United States De- j
partrnent abroad "notified Washington )
of his escape from the British and
shortly after he landed secret service
agents located him. He was not ap
prehended immediately.
The Secret Service soon learned that
he was ass-jciated with Dr. Patrick Mc?
Carten, who was known in Sinn Fein
circles as "the iirst Ambassador to the
LTnited States from the Irish Republic."
McCarten arrived here a fugitive for
his complicity in the Sinn Fein Easter
rebellion, early in 1917.
After months of investigation it de?
veloped that the pair were attempting
to return to England by the use of
false passports. They were taken in
custody in August, 1917, with McDer?
mott, and the case has been pending
since. Martin Conboy, Director of the
Draft; Francis Doyle, of Phlladelphia,
and Harry Weinberger appeared for
the defendants.
Two League Members
Selected by France
PARIS, May 14.?Two French mem?
bers of the league of nations have
been selected. Their names will be
published soon.
GENEVA, May 14.?Rumors that the
scat'of the French Embassy in Switzer
land would be transferred to Geneva,
are based on a misunderstanding, ac?
cording to information from Berne.
It is said that the rumor has some
connection with the fact that the com?
mittee on organization of tho league
of #nations is examining the question
of creating a special diplomatic branch,
which will enjoy the same privileges
with governments as embassies and
legations, such as' the right of extra
territoriality and the use of ciphers
and diplomatic couriers. If this stop
is finally decided upon, it is probable
that the great powers will each have
two distinct diplomatic missions in
Switzcrland, one at Berne with the
Swiss government and the other at
Geneva, the se.it of the league of
nations.

Loyal Socialists
Urge Support of
Treatv and League
Organization Backed by C
E. Russell and J. G. Stoke's
Calls Covenant Beginning
of a World Democracy
Calling upon "all American Social?
ists and Democrats to support the
: peace treaty and the league of na
i tions," the Social Democratic League
I of America, the Socialist organization
that supported the war, yesterday is
i sued an appeal signed by members of
the executive committee, who are
Charles Edward Russell, J. G. Phelps
Stokes, Frank Bohn and William Eng?
lish Walling. '
The appeal says the treaty of peace
and the league of nations "mark the
greatest world revolution in history."
It proceeds:
"The league of nations is not and
does not profess to be more than a be?
ginning. But what a beginning, for
it opcna the door to every form of in?
ternational cooperation which is the
sole practical jrath to international
democracy.
"The peace treaty, every article of
which accords with Mr. Wilson's four
teen points, solves intelligently and i
humanely many world problems, though !
it leaves some other equally urgent ;
problems unsolved?for example, the I
sufety of national minorities, such as
the Jews of Eastern Europe, must be |
guaranteed, China must be protected j
and radical steps must be taken toward '
general disarmament. But the league
of nations exists precisely for such :
purposes, and wrongs that 'would have
taken years of .sufTering to correct j
may now be righted within a few'
months.
"Socialists were the first to advocate j
a league of democratic governments. j
We must not, allow our habit of op- i
position to governments, however jus
tified in thc pas,t, to lead us to oppose
the carrying into effect of our own
principles. Wc have always taught
that neither world peace nor industrial |
democracy can be secured except in j
proportion as international democracy;
is realized. This treaty is not merely '
a step, it is a leap forward in that
direction. The fate of the world hence
forward lies ni the hands of the peo
ples of the democratic nations."

WINSTED, Conn., May 14.?Mrs. B.
A. Hitchcock, of Canaan, to-day made
public extracts of a letter received
from. Governor M. H. Holcomb in ro
ply to one she had written protestine:
against legislation permitting Sunday
movies. The Governor says:
"I judge you are one of the old fash?
ioned kind, fast becoming obsolete, who
believe that we owe some duty to the
Almighty and who obey his command
ments. We seem to be drifting away
from it; the old New England con
science is becoming obscured and tlrfe
new class which is coming in from th?
Old World with Old World ideas of
Sabbah amusements seems to be having
things all its own way to those like you
and myself '
"1 am really new fashioned in many
ways and lead the van as a rule, in?
stead of lagging behind it," said Mrs.
Hitchcock, "but I have never felt like
| reforming God or His commandents,
; nor revieing the Decalogue or repeal
ing any of God's laws. Something tells
me they are all right and just. Shov
lii'; God to one side can't be done any
how, for long, by nations' or peoples.
People cannot put a new-fashioned
God in the heavens who will be more

PARIS, May 14.?The Peace Confer
j ence to-day received from the Women's
International Conference for Perma
nent Peace at Zurich the resolution
adopted yesterday by the conference
denouncing the terms of peace with
Germany. The resolution declares that
ihe terms tacitly s/inction - secret
diplomacy, deny the principles, of self
determination, recognize the right of
the victor to the spoils of war and
violate principles of justice. Rule of
force, it isVleclarcd, is continued by
the financial and economie clauses.
The conference at Zurich also tele
graphed to the conference a resolu?
tion deploring the famine and pesti
!ence in Central and Eastern Europe
and urging that the Inter-Allied war
organization be transformed immedi
r.toly into an international peace or
pranization to deal with food, finance
and transport throughout the world.
The resolution also urged that if the
supply of food and transport is not
sufficient all countries be rationod. It
was added that no luxuries should be
transported from one country to an
other until relief has been sent to all
peoples.

Ministers is considering a plan pre
pared by the Allied military and
naval authorities to maintain order
in Schleswig after the evacuation of
that territory by the Germans.
The plan contemplated is to use
an Allied naval force stationed at
Flemsburg, in which the United
States, Great Britain and France will
join. Several battalions of infantry
also will be employed for the po
licing of the territory. The selec
tion of an Allied commander for this

PARIS, May 14.?The Dutch minis- \
ters who are expected in Paris this '
week for discusaion of the Belgian
Dutch territorial questions rising out
of the revision of the Treaty of 1839
will also take up the question of the
extradition of the ex-kaiser with the
council pf four, according to informa?
tion received to-day.
Sir Gordon HewaVt, the British Attor?
ney General and chief British legal dele
gate on the Crimes Commission, has
arrived in^aris to assist in the prepa
ration of a brief against Germans
guilty of breaking the laws of war. It
is probable that the completion of the
indictment will require several weeks.
In British quarters the impression
prevails that the great powers?at any
rate France and Great Britain?will
take joint action, charging Wilhelm
with specific crimes.
The report of the Crimes Commis?
sion is considered merely a formal
document. A more definite charge
against the ex-Kaiser probably will be
formulated.
No government is anxious to under
take to act as prosecutor singly.
The. fact that an international trial
cannot have a judicial basis raises an?
other difficulty?on which the Ameri?
cans on the Crimes Commission insist
ed from the beginning. Because of the
nece?sarily political character of al
tnal it it pointed out that whateve*
decision is reached will be open ?
criticism on the ground either thaV i*
is too severe or not severe enough
