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. it hands he portant-look- tamped and with seal on a corner. ed to him one dy in ice.

Another thrill 1 And what a thrill! A never-to-be-forgotten moment. 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. rrsi if e mucn more own ot his ooynooa. 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. (Signed) "JOHN J. PERSHING." Laclede forget the general! Visit Laclede with me last Fourth of July. From all over Missouri that day came the folks of Missouri to honor their great son. Governor Freder ick D. Gardner of Missouri came at their head, way from Jefferson City, to pay the great son tribute. And what a day it was! In all Laclede's history there never had been such The point is, could the United States recognize the government set up by the people of Ireland without violating the terms of the covenant if, as is certain, the British govern ment protested." ' "As regards question three, the point is the right of national self-determination and is in no way recog nized in the proposed foundation for the league and there is no guarantee that it will be recognized when the 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."
