Why was the case of Ireland
heard at the peace conference?
nd what is your nosition on the
subject of self-determination for
Ireland
' Answer. The case of Ireland was
not heard at the peace conference
because the peace conference had
no jurisdiction over any question of
that sort which did not affect terri
tories which belonged to the defeat
ed empires. ' My position on the
subject of self-determination for Ire.
land is expressed in Article II. of
the covenant in which I may say I
was particularly interested because
it seemed to me necessary for the
peace and freedom of the world that
a forum should be created, ' to
which all peoples 'could bring any
matter which was likely to affect the
peace and freedom of the world.
v De Valera Replies.
New York, Sept. 17. Eamonn De
Valera, "president of the Irish re
public" says that the objections of
the Irish people to the proposed
league of nations covenant are not
at all those suggested by the ques
tions put to President Wilson by
the San Francisco labor council.
The second question, Mr. De Valera
added, was framed too indefinitely
"to make the reply of any value."
"Nobody has held at any time,"
he said "that under the covenant
the United States would be obliged
to put down a rebellion of the sub
jects of any member of the league.
What has been held is that, under
the covenant, theUnited States
would be obliged to co-operate with
other members of the league in pre
venting any nation that might be
sympathetic with the 'rebels' from
giving them assistance.
Too Indefinite.
The framing of the second ques-
too indefinite
tion is altogether
to make the reply
of any value.

Farewell, Boyhood Home.
The time passed quickly, and there
came a day soon when John Persh
ing, bag packed, last i kisses' given,
last farewells said, srood on the
railroad station platform at Laclede.
He was on his way on his way to
West Point, to fame, to glory. That
day he left his boyhood behind
him. He became a man a man
with a man's purpose. And he went
out into the world to , take his
man's place in it.
True, he did not go directly to
West Point. There was one step
intervening a military "prep"
school, "The Rocks," on the Hudson
and almost within the shadow of
West Point. But John Pershing's
stay there, in that old school con
ducted by Colonel Caleb Huse, a re
tired army officer dead now, peace
be to him was a short one.

rned there on leaves from
Point to visit his parents. But
moved away before he was
graduated from the academy, first
to Lincoln, Neb., then to Chicago.
John visited the town just the same,
owever, when he had won his spurs
and become a shavetail secfond lieu
tenant. His parents then were in
Lincoln. And he has visited the
town several times since, but only
Iq stay for a short time.
Pershing Remembers Laclede.
The friendships of his boyhood,
his boyhood friends, though, he has
never forgotten. He writes often to
those old playmates of boyhood,
and nothing gives him such pleasure
is to hear from them. What they
mean to him is best expressed by
quoting the general himself quot
ing him through the medium of a
letter whichi he sent to some of
those old playmates men now ac
knowledging the receipt of a picture
of themselves which they sent to
him in France last winter.
"American Expeditionary Force,
Office of the Commanding General,
(Personal.)
France, Feb. 11, 1918:
"Messrs. E. B. Allen, C. C. Big
ger, I. 1. Hamilton, Laclede, Mo.
My dear friends: It would not be
possible for me to express in words
my appreciation of the friendship of
my boyhood associates in Laclede,
so vividly recalled to mind by the
photographs and the letter just re
ceived bearing your signatures.
"The faith and confidence of my
friends is an inspiration to carry out
to the very best of my ability my
own part in the task which the
American people have allotted to the
army in turope.
"To know that our friends from
every section of the country stand
behind us and feel a pride in the
men they have sent forth from
their homes to battle for civilization
will assuredly push us on to the vie
tory that must be ours.
"No ties are stronger than those
of youth, and this personal touch
means much more to me than I can
say. Many thanks, many thanks,
for your thoughtful letter and for
your confidence.
"Yours alwavs affectionately.

' "As regards question three, the
point is the right of national self-determination

league is established.
MacPherson's Answer Best.
"With respect to question four and
the president's answers, I need only
say that the narrowing down and
limitation of the peace conference
to only such matters as affected ter
ritories belonging to the defeated
empires was altogether out of ac
cord with the war aims of America
as enunciated by the president and
the professions of the entente
statesmen during the war."
