' ByvWILLIAM J. BUTLER. (Staff Correcpondent of Universal Service) Paris, April 18. "Within a week or ten days Ireland's peace dele gates, Prof. De Valera, Griffiths and Count Horace Plunkett are to be in vited to the peace conference and, they are going to place Ireland's case before the 'big four.!" V This confidential prediction was made to Universal Service in an ex clusive interview today by Mr. J. Ryan, of Philadelphia, a member of the American Irish peace delegation, after' "five or six , days 1 of careful soundings" in Paris. ' v Place Hope in Wilson. "We all place all our hope in President Wilson," Ryan declared, "and I can safely say that as a result of our work here in the past few days this hope will be justified. Un derneath the surface of American diplomacy at the peace conference there is a gradual breaking down of barriers against Ireland and the threadworn excuse that America cannot diplomatically at this time Lcome out openly for Ireland,' is rap idly disappearing. The Irish-American peace dele gation has mapped out its program. The peace conferences invitation to Ireland s delegates is the first step. I cannot discuss the second step now but I can tell the Irish back home that Ireland's case looks bright. "France has gone out of her way to be kindly and considerate of the comfort of our. delegates. The French government even had a spe cial representative to meet us at the boat to expedite the handling of our luggage without subjecting it to search; France has cordially invited us about the whole country as hon ored guests. That is not only the attitude of France but is rapidly be coming the attitude of nearly the whole peace conference as I see it America Wants Settlement. 'The civilized ' nations of the world are beginning to realize that there never will be a league of na tions and there never will be uni versal peacewith Ireland left seeth ing in her present state of malcon tent and unrest. It is not only best for Ireland but best for Great Brit ain that his question be settled now. And what is more, America wants it settled now. "My colleague, Frank P. Walsh. I believe, controls a greater part of American labor than any qjmer liv ing man and I said that with Sam uel Gompers and others in mind. Unless Ireland is given justice and freedom there is a dread thought of the consequences." Ryan hinted that the Irish-American triumvirate had been closeted with high American personages in Paris with good results, but he re fused to reveal any names. Call On Wilson. President Wilson late yesterday afternoon received the Irish-American delegation. Walsh was spokes man, representing not only himself, but also former Governor Dunne of Illinois and Ryan. He urged Ire land's right to become a republic. Walsh insisted that the self de termination clause of President Wilson's 14 points compelled the peace conference to ,give Ireland self-government. ' President Wilson listened sym pathetically to the explanations of Mr. Walsh, who is- personally friendly with him. Urge Hearing of Irish. The Irish-Americans further urged a . complete hearing by the peace conference of the claims of actual Irishmen now here, including the Sinn Feiners and others. President Wilson is understood to have told Walsh that he adhered to the decision he announced in New York on the night of sailing for France on his second trip. (The president informed the Irish delegates who called upon him in New York that he must refuse to present Ireland's claim to the peace conference as president of the United States. He added, however, that he agreed with Ireland's aspira tions for self determination.) Red Officers Hold Troops In Place With Machine Guns In Rear Archangel, April 18. (By Associ ated Press.) The bolshevik! have evacuated tha town of Bolshie Oz erki, according tp peasants who fled to the allied lines. The enemy evi dently was driven out by the con stant shelling to which the Russo Allied artillery has been subjecting the town during the last two weeks. Tha bolshevik! are reported to have established positions in the woods nearby. , This bombardment, together with a shortage of supplies due to the thawing roads, is seriously impair ing the morale of the bolsheviki, who are reported to be without re serve provisions.
