"The League of Nations as an

"As for the separate peace

From the close confines of his quiet

Far from being convinced that the
League which he fathered at Paris is
a dead issue, despite its overwhelming
repudiation at the polls a year ago,
the former President believes Implicit
ly. his visitor said, the League is des
tined to be an issue in every American
political campaign until the United
States becomes a part of some inter
national machinery set up to prevent
war.
Mr. Wilson did not mention his own
plans in connection with keeping the
league issue alive, but his visitor
came away with the distinct impres
sion that the former President will
not cease his efforts in its behalf
merely because his health is poor.
His caller expressed the opinion that
Mr. Wilson will be fully able, if he
so desires, to take the platform again
In behalf of the league.
Health Much Improved.
The health of Mr. Wilson Is now
better than it, has been at any time
since his collapse in the West more
than two years ago, according to his
visitor. He is heavier, his appetite
to better, and there is frequently the
old4-time sparkle in his eye. The
grayish pallor which was so pro
ounced, and made him such an ob
ject of concern on that gusty March

for the last time, has entirely dis
appeared. There is a ruddns to

nany long hours spent in rapid mo:

"Down Home" Turkeys
On Sale in Capital
The first turkeys of the 1921 season
have arrived In Washington from
North Carolina. That there will be
enough turkeys to go around without
causing the sharp up-swing in prioe
which always follows when demand ex
ceeds supply was the consensus ex
pressed by the commission men yes
terday.
Another thing they forecast was
that with the wholesale price at this
time at 40 cents a pound, if unemploy
ment continues, prices might go lower.
They now are from 12 to 15 cents
lower than a year ago.
That the farmer will be able to get
the price at which the turkeys are
now being sold throughout the season
is the hope expressed by the commis
son men, who say tnat cost of pro
duction does not admit of any lower
wholesale quotation at this time.

to His Arrest
Following a search of eight months,
Patrick J. Mulstay, who escaped from
Auburn prison, Now Yotk, was ar
rested last night in a house near

H. Garrison and Deputy Sheriff Har
vey E. Smith. At the time of Mul

twenty years to life for the murder
of John Fitzgerald in New York

Mulstay was sentenced to serve
from one to two years at Ossining
prison on the charge of larceny.
During his Incaroersijon he brooded
the prineselp witness against, him
at the trial and he determined to
find him after his release. Within
two months after he was discharged
frem the histitution he met Fits-1

and shot him down. He was serving
the life sentence In Auburn when
he made his escape.

Garrison learned of the where
abouts of the man and he came here
to learn If he was wanted. When
told that he was, he and Smith
went to the house where Mulstay
was living and pretended that they
were surveying the property upon
which the house is built. Mulatay
became curious when he saw Garri
son and Smith measuring the lawn
In front of the house and he came
out to greet them. He had hardly
left the house when Garrison poked
a pistol In his ribs and demanded
that he hold up his hands.
"It's a good thing for you you did not
make an attempt to arrest me in the
house," he commented, as he quietly
submitted to arrest. "I would have
made It warm for you If you had."
Following his arrest, Mulstay was
escorted to the office of Inspector
Clifford L. Grant, chief of detectives,
where he was cross-questioned. He
readily admitted that he had escaped
from Auburn prison. He told the In

LONDON FEARS IRISH
PARLEY IS FAILURE
Officials Lose Hope of New
Meetings Unless Erin Modi

By CUAntZs W. WAY.
ateruaesels Nws servies.
.NON._ mt. 2s-Deep .p
mism prevailed in official circles to
night over the outlook for the Irish
pesace conference.
Many officials are without hope that
the parley will be renewed on Mon
day unless the Binn Fetners relin
quish their demand for absolute tn
dependence.
A high British official told the In
ternational News Service a break off
in the negotiations would not cause
surprise.
"We expect a break and have every
thing in readiness to meet it." he said.
"There will be an interval of several
days and perhaps a week before the
possible termination of the Irish
armistice.
"After that we will be prepared to
launch all the military strength of
Britain against Ireland. We have
given the Irish every chance.,
Bitter Fight In Sight.,
"If fighting is resumed we will not
treat it as the suppression of rebellion.
but as the subjugation of hostile ter
ritory. We do not underestimate the
task of defeating the Irish republican
army. We know the Sinn Fein army
has made great strides in efficiency
and in the acquisition of ammunition
during the truce. But this time we
intend to make a complete job of it."
Sinn Feiners were standing pat to
night with no sign of a hackdown. A
Sinn Fein leader declared the confer
ence "may automatically end next
week." He said:
"The Irish Republic is our bargain
ing power. At Monday'. session, Ar
thur Griffith will tell Lloyd George
that Dal Eireann was elected as a
republican institution and the Sinn
Fein cannot recede from this position
without a manda~te from the Irish
people.
May HoMd Plebiscite.
"But, if Britain i. ready to propose a
masure for satisfying the Irish na
tional aspirations, then Dal Eireann
will submit a plebiscite to Ireland
asking whether the people are ready to
accept the sovereignty of King George.
If Premier Lloyd George, at this stage,
insists upon withdrawal of the repub
lican aspirations, then the conference
automatically will come to an end."
There is much speculation tonight
over the effect which the new crisis
may have upon the Premier's plans
to go to the United States.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 22.-If the
United States Railway Labor Board
next Wednesday can bring about
anything that looks like a compro.
mise between the executives of the
railway companies and the heads of
the five big rail organizations sched.
uled to go on strike October 30, the
strike order will be rescinded, it Is
believed here.
Warren S. Stone, president of thE
engineers' union; E. L. Sheppard, of
the conductors; W. G. Lee, of the
trainmen, and W. S. Carter, of the
firemen, held long conferences today.
While they refused to discuss the
results of their conferences, Mr.
Stone said another conference will
be held tomorrow morning, after
which he might make an important
announcement.
Leaders Hope to Avoid Strike.
It was learned, however, that the
unions' chiefs are anxious to find a
way out of the strike difficulty, not
because they fear to incur displeasure
of the labor board, but the tact has
been brought home to them forcibly
that public opinion is strongly opposed
to a strike on a wage reduction which
has been in effect for nearly four
months.
While ostensibly the strike i. be.
cause of the July 1 wage cut, it in
reality is based upon a threatened
further wage reduction which has not
yet been even considered by the Hail.
road Labor Board.
President Lee, of the trainmen. is
frank in saying a strike at this time
would prove a calamity for the men.
President Stone. of the engineers,
wasn asked after he had left the con
ference if he thought the strike might
still be avoided.
Strike Bad, Ri one Maya.
"I am still hopeful there will be ne
strike," he replied. "Perhaps I am
an optimist. A strike would be bad,
but still there are some things worse
than a strike"
