Loader? of Movement Call on
Former President on Sixty
Sixth Birthday—Senate
Adopts Resolution.
Washington. Dec. 2*—Friends of
Woodrow Wilson who are raising a
$1,000,000 fund for the perpetuation
of his ideals, celebrated his *6th
birthday today by sending him word,
through a delegation which called st
bis !S street home, that the success of
the movement was assured.
At the same lime the senate adopt
ed a resolution offered by Senator
Harris, democrat, Georgia, expressing
“pleasure and joy" at his recovery to
ward health. The resolution was put
through quickly with a chorus of
ayes from the democratic side of the
chamber, many of the republican sen
ators. engrossed in other matters, ap
parently paying no attention to Its
purport.
The former president spent his
birthday quietly-. For an hour or
more a group of men and women
stood in the rain in front of his
home, hoping that he might appear
to greet them, but all they saw of
the wartime president was a glimpse
of him as he drove off In his limou
sine late in the day for his daily
ride.
Rereives Many Messages.
During the day messages of felici
tation came to Mr. Wilson from all
parts of the world. A few close
friends called to extend greetings, the
delegation representing the Wood
row Wilson Foundation arriving at

Included Hamilton Holt and Mrs.
Charles E. Simonson of New York
city, Mrs. J. Malcolm Forbes of Bos
ton and Miss Caroline Ruutx-Rees of
Greenwich, Conn . all members of
the foundation’s executive committee.
The delegation told Mr. Wilson that
contributions to tlie fund already
had passed $800,000 and would, in
the near future, undoubtedly reach
the $1,000,000 goal. The former pres!
dent was reported to have expressed
satisfaction over the success of the
movement and its purposes.
Those In the delegation declined to
disclose the nature of their conversa
tion with Mr. Wilson aside from
saying that they had chatted In
formally on a number of topics. He
was In excellent spirits, they said,
and apparently wns in better health
than at any time since he was
stricken.

Irish Rebels
Gain Strength
E\en Wives of Some of Free
State Ministers Said to
Be Insurgents.

London. Dec. 2ft.—Reviewing the
year-end conditions in Ireland, the
Dally Mail's correspondent in Dublin
paints a discouraging picture. He ex
presses the fear that the present lull
in the military operations is only
temporary; that republicanism is still
strong enough to cause the govern
ment infinite trouble. He attributes
the constantly reviving activity among
the rebels to women. 75 per cent of
whom, he asserts, probably sympa
thize with the irregulars. He declares
that evpn the wives of some of the
ministers a're passively, if not actively
rebels.
Office Fortresses.
He points out that although the
national services are controlled by
the government they are not func
tioning with freedom and regularity.
The ministers still are compelled to
live in government buildings; those
who made brief visits to friends dur
ing Christmas have had to return to
their office fortresses.
Referring to rumors which are in
dignantlv denied by the authorities,
that sections of the free state are not
overloyal, having been undermined by
rebel propaganda, the correspondent
says:
"Whatever the facts may be, there
recently have been cases where whole
garrisons of the national troops have
been captured with suspicious care by
rebels."
Imminent Feril.
The dispatch concludes:
“Atop of all is the imminent peril
of death to every member of the cabi
net. who had Imped the appointment
of Timothy Healv as governor general
would tend to bring the parties to
gether. Unfortunately it has not
done so. The walls of Dublin are
painted with scathing references to
Healy, who now rivals Richard Mul
cahy as the object of attacks."
I)e Valera Statement.
Dublin. Dec. 28—(By A. P.)—The
Irish Bulletin today prints a state
ment from Eamon de Valera replying
to the recent criticism of his attitude
hy President Cosgrave. The repub
lican leader says:
"The present government of the
republic is acting as the emergency
trustee of the government and it is
prepared to surrender its authority
the moment the rightful parliament
of the nation—namely, the second dail
—is allowed to meet, and the supreme
court of the republic is allowed to
determine the legal and constitutional
differences which both sides now are
trying to solve by force.

Secretary Mellon
“America for Americans,*’ De
mand of Legion Commander
—Attacks Senator Borah.
Fort Worth, Tex., Dec. 28.—Ameri
canism in Its true form; adjusted com
pensation for the ex-servics men; a
scathing arraignment of Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon, and "America
for Americans” were the principal
points covered by Alvin M. Owsley,
national commander of the Ameri
can Begion In three addresses he de
livered in Fort Worth Wednesday.
Tt was the first official visit of
the commander to his native state since
ho was made national commander of
the organization at New Orleans.
The maintenance of citizens’ mili
tary training camps was also urged.
Settlement of the United States war
contracts after the armistice had been
declared, was termed by Owsley as
“the greatest waste of the people’s
money ever known.” He denounced
those who defrauded the government
in these contracts as felons, declar
ing that “they should be placed be
hind prison bars.” Owsley caustically
attacked Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon and Senator Borah, asserting
that Borah was "accepting the lead
arshin of a bfinch of I. W. W. ad

American government for a com
nninist form."
Presidents Wilson and Harding al
so were criticised by Ow-sley for the
release of the I. W. W. war prison
ers.
