offered a resolution urging the |)MtM congress to apply to Ireland th© doctrine of national self-determink-tSon, and later, In support of the movement to bring freedom to Ireland, the oonventlon pledged itself to raise $1,000,000. More than that sum was pledged by the assembled delegates. J*? It Is believed that the present visit «-(to this country of Prof. Edward—it Is

Sunonn In the Gaelic—De Vaera, president of the Irish republic. Is due largely to the encouragement and •OVPort offered at the Philadelphia Slithering.

President De Valera is not a stranSir In New York. He was born there In October, 18S2. Part of his education was secured there, and there he laid the foundation of hia literary and pedagogical career. He was a member of the faculty of Dublin university teaching mathematics. lie is & Scholar, an orator, an agitator.

De Valera has been a recognized leader in the Irish movement for a number of years. He was elected president of the Sinn Fein conference in October, 1917, held at Dublin, which Adopted a provisional government aiming at an Irish republic. The deltgatea drew up a secession program, and when this was announced it was bettered that De Velera would be arrested and there was much excitement. A. little later the agitator spoke at a great mass meeting near Dublin and told of th© monster petition to President Wilson, asking him to back Ireland's freedom. In March he spoke in Belfast and when the authorities tried to disperse the crowd, there was serious rioting. In May he was arrested for alleged connection with German plotting in Ireland. In December, while still under arrest, he •was elected to parliament, winning the gl&hst Mayo seat, but he was defeated for Belfast. •f\—k* His Escape From Prison.

Personal Notes From Movie Load

*T mqtnB O-BRIEI*.

The John Emerson-Anita Loos pictures which have been popular wherever pictures are shown hare now become a family affair because Miss Loss decided to Join the rank and file of June brides and she decided that John would make a nice groom. Anita Loos, who fs a very young woman, was ijiarrled In her early youth. She lived with her husband three days and it has taken her three years to untangle her matrimonial alliance with him. And when sne nnally won her freedom she declared she would never, never marry again. But you can not always stay the hand of that little fellow called Cupid, and before she realized it she had consented to marry her co-worker.

And now we are wondering If the Emerson-Loos combination will be to the screen what the Hattons are to the stage. The Hattons, who are a happily wedded couple, have produced such farces as "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," and "The Great Lover," and many other "successes. The EmersonLoos family have written many of Fairbanks' pictures—"The Americano," "WiM and Woolly," "Down to EartH," "In Again, Out Again," and a score of others.

John Emerson fs a native «f Sandusky, Ohio. He met Miss Loos in her natives California and the two signed a contract to work together. Their last contract to "love, honor and obey," was mad© at the country estate of Norma Talmadge and her husband, Joseph Schenk. JTho Schenks gave *i wedding breakfast and all the trimmings that go with a regular matrimonial union to the happy couple.

one of his followers, an Irish member of the British parliament, says: Eamonn de Valera is the elected president of th© elected government of the Irish nation, which has deliberately determined itself as a republic. He was chosen t»y adult suffrage, through the peaceful, democratic machinery of the ballot. Nominated by no small group of special interests, nor yet self-appdinted, De Valera was freely chosen by a three to one majority of the Irish people as the duly accredited spokesman of the Irish na-\ tion.

In his statement' of principles issued Monday De Valera declared that Ireland was almost unanimous for independence.

The Irish Republic.

The Irish republic was proclaimed in Dublin on Easter Monday, 1916, by the Irish republican army, acting on behalf of the Irish people. The uprising in and about Dublin occurred during Easter week of that year. The declaration of independence was adopted by the Irish republic parliament early in the present year, and being under an official ban did not reach this country until May.

The declaration opens witn the assertion that the Irish people is by right a free_ people. It rehearses Ireland's claims to independence, it demands the evacuation of the island by the English garrison, and it closes with an appeal to divine help and guidance. Here is one paragraph: "We claim for our national independence the recognition and support of every free nation of the world, and we claim this independence to be a oondition precedent to International peace hereafter."

On January 9, 1919, an Irish constitution was announced, and at the same time the leaders declared that a constituent assembly would be converted to formulate features for the welfare of the Irish people.

It was

reported

that the gathering

which adopted the new constitution decided to drop the

and

name "Sinn Fein"

substitute ''Irish Republican

party." The first president of the Irish republic—provisional president, he was called—was the brilliant young Irish schoolmaster-poet, Fadraic Pearse, a signer of the declaration, a leader of the uprising of Easter week, executed May 3,1916* It was Pearse who wrote:

The world hath conquered, the wind scattered like dust Alexander. Caeser and all that shared their sway. Tara is grass, and behold how Troy lieth low— And even the English—perchance their hour will

come!

Plunkett's View.

Last March, Sir Horace Plunkett, one of the most sincere friends of his native state, who served as president of the recent Irish convention,

which

labored for eight months with Ireland's problems, wrote: Ireland cannot get into th© peace conference, but the Irish question can not be left out, and it is well to have in mind the chief solutions of the Irish problem which are now seriously considered. These are: 1. Establishment of home rule by means of an Irish parliament for disposing of the country's internal business, with at the same time fair representation in the Imperial parliament. 2. Setting up an indpendent Irish republic. 3. Partition of Ireland—the Lloyd George plan.

Sir Horace indicated at the outset his own position by declaring that there should be made, at once, a firm offer of a reasonable measure of self government. This is the opinion of a leader who is called one of the best and wisest friends of his native land.

TEBRE SAUTE TRIBUNE.

RING

LARDNER

FAILS

THROUGH A SYNDICATE

Cracki a Few Joke», But Otherwise He's Able to Sit Up and Take Dubonette,

NEW YORK, July 4.—Ring Larflner has been gobbled up by the Bell syndicate, a newspaper feature organization that has made big strides In the last two years. Ring will withdraw from the Chicago Tribune.

Of this momentous occasion Rollln Lynn Hartt writes as follows: Brlggs, the cartoonist, buckled down to work one morning and barely had sketehed out a comic strip entitled "Wonder What a Dodecahedron Thinks About," when in walked his old and dear friend, Ring Lardner, whom he had not set eyes on ior six solid years.

Tall, dark, shaven, well groomed, strictly pomme de terre, and as solemn as a tongue-tied owl, Lardner nodded silently, selected a chair, sat down, took out a newspaper, read it for a half hour or so without speaking, got up, nodded, and walked out.

On one side of the family Ring Lardner is descended from Peter the Silent and o nthe other side of the family he is descended from a cigar store Indian. i

In Niles, Mich., where he was born, Lardner had a job in the express office, while his brother worked on a newspaper. One day an emissary from the South Bend News came over to engage the brother's services, but by a blunder got hold of Ring instead. Without batting an eye, though fully realizing the humor of the situation, Ring accepted the offer, and thus began his journalistic career.

While tearing around with a baseball team he developed a genius for missing trains and wiring Hugh Fullerton to do his work for him. When Lardner showed up it was always with an imperturbable air of innocence, and the same air of innocence enables him to get away with the wildest, jokes. "A Hard Time Ahead."

It was "Hughie" Fullerton who first brought Lardner to Chicago. "Hughie" himself .should not be numbered amongst the world's gloomiest men. The first interview between the two was when a friend took Lardner to Chicago to try to get him a job. Fullerton was sporting' editor of the Chicago Tribune at the time.

After asking Lardner the customary questions he said, "do you drink?'* "No," said Ring. "You'll find it kind of hard getting along with this gang of baseball writers," commented Fullerton.

Lardner turned to his friend and said very blandly, "you mahoganyheaded ipis-fixer, you,told me to say that."

The job didn't materialize at that time, but later Fullerton saw an opening. Instead of writing to Lardner In the ordinary business way, he obtained a waiver from the manager of the White Sox and "drafted" Lardner.

It is Beelzebub's own job, running a daily column. There is nothing so ghastly! A professional daily joker has said, "You wake in the morning and find seven little red devils pointing their wicked fore-fingers at you and yapping, "Scintillate, darn you! Scintillate!"

And yet, cross my throat and hope to die, I do believe Lardner enjoys it. Glum though he looks and acts, he is a rollicking, dappled merry-go-round of blithe-some ideas inside—personal ideas, often-times—ideas he would never let out in talk. Lardner reflects how poverty-stricken he is (poor fellow, he was reputed, to be getting only $28,000 a year when I last saw nim: and announced a Lardner tag day for the relief of Ring W.

And in his finished work—that Is to say, his books—you have invariably the notion that the hero is Ring Lardner himself.

For instance: "Accordin* to some authorities, a person, before they get married, should ought to look up your opponent's family tree and find out what they all died of. But the way I got it figured out, if you're sure they did die, the rest of it don't make no difference."

Or again: 'If you can't break a promise you made to your own wife, what kind of a promise can you nreak? Answer me that, Edgar?"

Or this: "Say,, I thought the dress Bess was wearin' was low ought to been, seein' it was cut down from fifty bucks to thirty-seven. But the rest o' the gowns around us must of been 60 per cent off."

What a time Lardner did have at Palm Beach! To begin with, there was the difficulty irf finding a hotel, and, consequently, the talk with a native about one hotel in particular. 'You can't get in there,' he says. 'They're full for the season/

That's a long spree,' I eays.** Moreover, there were difficulties about drinks, owing to the locker system by which you paid for your stock whatever they thought you couldn't afford, and paid over again for having it got out, swig by swig, and suffered nntold exasperations into the bargain. Listen! 'I want a highball,' I says to the bay. "'What's your number?' says he. "It varies,' I says. 'Some times I can hold twenty, and some times four or five makes me sing.'"

And this is the paragon who got fired by a Boston paper "because he couldn't write," and who might never have conducted "The Wake of the News" if Hugh Fullerton hadn't got sick of it and quit. What narrow escapes this world of ours has had! It r-ame within an ace of squelching Lardner.

Is that why Lardner has been so solemn ever since? To tell the whole truth, he hasn't. It was Lardner who, having written about a world's series game in Philadelphia, thought to add an embellishment by calling up Mayor Blankenburg at 4 in the morning and asking his impressions. It was Lardner who kept a crowd in a club roaring with laughter while he and a crony of his played chess after a fashion of their own, principally in the margin, and as solemnlj' as two

ENGLISH*OAK THREATENED.

Caterpillars Are a Menace to Forests Of the Island. That "caterpillar curtain" depending from a Hertfordshire oak tree is a truly sinister Bignal as to the Jeopardy in which the English oak stands today.

The caterpillar evidently begins its career in the young foliage of the oak, and lives (in both senses of the term) on its early shoots and leaves till it attains a length of about five-eighths of an inch and has developed such physical activity that it is able to set cut on a voyage to another sphere.

With this in view, it sets to work to spin a thread, dangling Itself in the meantime at the end of it, and carrying on the process until it is near enough to the earth to drop witnout any disagreeable consequences to itself. On many trees these threads are almost innumerable, and every one has its active little insect at the end from its devastated cradle above to the earth below. v

Where the caterpillars are most numerous the communal spirit is developed to such a degree that on one long thread I have counted more tnan a score of wriggling and writhing passengers ascending and descending the ladder, or occasionally varying the monotony of their journeys by wrestling bouts with each other. On the lowest three yards of a completed thread there may be seen as many as twenty of the caterpillars, with many more on the three to ten yarus above it. There must be scores of thousands of these creatures to be seen on a large and favorite tree, and their collective stomach capacity is more than sufficient to account for all its early foliage and 'leave it a blackened and sorrowful monument to nature's regard for animal at the expense of Vegetable life.

What result will follow from this lilliputian attack on the giant of our woods? Probably the caterpillars

It was Lardner—I hate to tell of this, but it was—who wanted another gay blade to stay in town foj- dinner, and on learning that the other gay blade had promised his wife to come home, said: "Oh, I'll phone her!" and shut himself into a booth, and emerging, declared, "It's all right, old man you can stay.** "How did you bring her around?" his friend asked.

We are getting accustomed to waging war against the tiny foes that assail our fruit trees, and the fear of losing a yearly crop is sufficient Incitement to action, for we perceive that preventive measures pay. There is not so clear a call to defend the trees of the forest, though it may be true that the ultimate need as measured by the money standard Us as great on the whole outlook.

Anyhow, there is a distinct duty resting on the scientist to devise, and the custodian or owner of the oak to apply, some remedy that may avert what, in spite of a certain element of comedy, may develop into a veritable tragedy.—From the Continental Edition of the London Mail.

CASHED IN HIS COURTESY.

How a New York Merchant Turned a Good Turn to Account. In System, Leopold Wertheimer describes the methods that helped his business grow from a tiny shop to a chain of five big department stores in New York City. Speaking of his start in business, he says:

One of the merchandising plans that I learned the first day in my little store is that the unusual courtesies which a merchant gives his customers are often the most appreciated. As a corallary to that, the man or woman who actually spends the money Is not always the most profitable person toward whom a merchant

The girl, it turned out, was "ttnfjre frt the family of a successful young lawyer. Soon the lawyer's wife began to buy in my store a very few days after that her husband stepped up to the men's furnishings department, introduced himself, and bought a nice bill of goods. The whole family soon came to be listed as perhaps my Dest customers—all as a result of my courtesy to a maid.

Soon I put a sign in the window: "Baby carriages welcome." My baby* carriage trade increased so jnuch that there was not room in my "store-, for the carriages at times. I hir^d a girl, dressed her up as a maid, and had her* take care of the carriages that were standing outside on the sidewalk. The mothers and nurses did nor nave to worry about them then, you see.
