Cardinal Gibbons Wants Peace Conference to Apply Doctrines for Support of Irish Freedom

I'HILADKLPHIA, Pa.. Fb. 24. A rwlutlo;i pres-ntd by Cardinal Gibbon urging the peao; conpre to pply to Ireland thf do:trin of national pelf determination and a declaration of principles demanding that If any !earu of nations b created all features which may Infringe on the traditional American policy including the Monroe dos trine shall le eliminated werc adopted unanimously today at the closing of the convention of the Irish race In America. Th declaration fays a state of war exists between Knlaod and Ireland "which In the interests of the pac cf thr-! world the jif-ac conference rannot Isrnore." Thp support of th movement to lrlnj? freedom to Ireland the convention pledged to raise with six months 1 1,000.000. but before Justice Daniel F. Cohalan of the New York uprfcme court, chairman of the conention. completed the calling of a list of states and cities, rnore than 31.2."0,000 had been pledged to the iau5p. Many IV I chairs Mft. Delegate from many states, repr . ntlng a larpe number of Irish organizations, crowded the Academy of Music when Cardinal Gibbons arose at the afternoon session and in a fw word presented the resolution calling for the rieht of Ireland to select it form of government. Applauiu pwept the crowd as the cardinal slowly read the papers. The enthusiasm aroused by the prelate continued as numerous Hpeakera seconded the resolution. Among those who spoke in support of Ireland's freedom were Kev. Norman Thomas, a Presbyterian minister of New York; Archbishop Messxner, Milwaukee; Habbi Joseph Krauskopf. Philadelphia; James G. Miter. Protectant Episcopal clergyman of Norfolk. Ya.; Mrs. Mary L. McWhorter, Chicago, head of the ladles auxiliary of the Ancient Order of Hibernians; Henry Goddard lcach. New York; Thomas, J. Mathews, Providence, H. I., national

k retary of the A. O. H., and Frank P. Walsh of Kansas City. The convention rose to Us feet nnd rhfered several minutes when Kabbi Krau.-kopf Faid that Tres't Wilson's declaration that small nations shall have the right of self government "will not die down, ami not even Prist "Wilson himself can recall lt.M Pass Resolution. The text of the resolution follows: "We, the delegates to the convention f the Irish race in America, asfmbled in Philadelphia, the city in which the immortal Declaration o American Liberty was given to the world, and speaking for many millions of American citizens, call upon the president and congress of these United State of America, to urge the peace congress now in session In Paris to apply to Ireland the great dot-trine of national self determination and to recognize the right of the people r.f Ireland to select for themselves without interference from any other people the form of government under which in future they shall live. "We ure this claim, in the first place, in the name of justice recognizing and insisting on the truth set forth by the founders of our republic, that all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. "We nrpe this claim in the name of America, insisting, as we have just fhown in the case of. France, that we are not an ungrateful people, and recalling that no other people have contributed more than thoe of Irish blood to the creation, the upbuilding, the development and the preservation and defense of our great country. Urge Claim for Ireland. "Wo tirpe this claim in the name of Ireland because of the unparalleled stnisrirle for now seven and a half centuries that Ireland has carrid on for national existence and liberty; because all efforts to break down and destroy that existence have failed, and because of the ex

traordinary majority by which less than two months aj?o the people of Ireland declared, not alone their dissatisfaction with the government of their land by England, but also their determination to govern themselves without Interference from any outside Influence or power. "We urpe that in the name of humanity, for we believe that war cannot bo ended, and a just and permanent peace cannot he brought about unless the doctrine of self determination be applied to Ireland and the people of that country be permitted to decide for themselves the form of Rovemmcnt under which they shall live. "We point out that England has tried in every way to coerce or to persuade or to cajole the people of Ireland to give up their devotion to their national aspirations and tried them all in vain. Lloyd George within the last few months has been compelled to assert that Ireland is at present as much opposed to British rule as in the days of Cromwell. Show Irish Spirit. "Th Industries of Ireland have been destroyed; her trade and commerce wiped out; her population cut in two; her leaders deported and held in English jails without indictment or trial; and yet within the last two months the people have again declared their utter dissatisfaction with English rule and their determination to be free. England refuses to listen to the voice of Ireland, but we point out that England refused to listen to the voice of the American colonies. England was compelled less than a century and a half ago to recognize the Independence of the colonies and within the last year the efforts of our country saved England and her allies from total defeat at the hands of the central powers. The land to which England was thus compelled to do Justice has just saved England in her hour of reed. Let England now realize that justice to Ireland, which she has so long denied, with grievous los to Ireland, but also with great loss to herself, will now remove from her path the bitterest hostility which she has to encounter" all over the world and will convince mankind in general of the sincerity of her declarations when she says that she believes in liberty and justice for others as well as for herself. Ask for IVaee. "Finally, we urge this claim that

peace and order may be brought out of the chaos with which the whole world seems to be threatened. In this great hour when governments are being reformed and when people long oppressed by tyranny are emerging again into the sunlight of liberty, let there be sincerity and unselfishness upon the part of those who are controlling the peace conference, to the end that the mistakes of the congress of Vienna may be avoided and a peace made that will be lasting and permanent because it will be Just and right. "Upon the shoulders of our president and conpress rests in the last analysis the responsibility of the peace that shall be made. We urge them to act in accordance with the doctrines laid down on our behalf when we entered the war, and in accordance with the resolution recently adopted almost unanimously, by the foreign affairs committee of the house of representatives to the end that autocracy and militarism may be forever destroyed and that the right of self determination shall be given to all the peoples of the earth."

All smoking1 tobaccos use some flavoring. The Encyclopaedia Britannica says about the manufacture of smoking tobacco,"...onthe Continent and in America certain 'sauces' are employed ...the use of the 'sauces' is to improve the flavour and burning qualities of the leaves." Tuxedo uses chocola te the purest, most wholesome and delicious of all flavorings! Everybody likes chocolate we all know that chocolate added to any

thing as a flavoring always makes that thing still more enjoyable. That is why a dash of chocolate, added to the most carefully selected and properly aged burley tobacco, makes Tuxedo more enjoyable " Your Nose Knows." Try This Test: Rub a little Tuxedo briskly in the palm of your hand to bring out its full aroma. Then smell it deep its delicious, pure fragrance will convince you.

REV. MIN NICK COMPARES SEED TO WORD OF GOD "The seed is the word of God," was the text used by Rev. William Minnick. C. S. C, of St. Patrick's church in his sermon for Sexagesima Sunday morning1. "When the sower scatters his seed." he said, "some faH by tho wayside. This is represented by tho?e who are hearers of the word only, those who allow the devil to come along and take the word of God out of their hearts. "And other some fell upon the rocks. There are some who receive the word with joy. but who do not allow it to sing into their hearts and the word, having no root, withers.

When they are assailed by temptation they do not have the strength to resist it. "And that which fell among thorns is represented by those who hear, but are lured away by the false and transient pleasures of this life to the neslect of that never dying joy which is eternal salvation. "Rut that on the prood crround are they who are both hearers and doers of the word, and bring forth fruit onf hundred fold. "In dying Christ called all men to the church, for in the gospel there I knowledge for all. He empowered his 12 apostles and 72 di?ciples to spread the word, and the success with which they met has never been equalled. In these days there Is no excu.v for not hearing, as the opportunity is presented to all, and the present day Is the best tlrre to practice the gospel of Christianity."

PARIS, Jan. 23. (Correspondence.) France, as a result of the war, finds itself short of 3,000 locomotivea and 100,000 cars, while the transportation material that is still nominally on tho active list is badly out of repair. The shortage of rolling stock h.is become very acute lately, for the number of locomotives and cars out of commission for various defects has increased &ince July last by 10 and 30 per cent respectively. To meet tho growing difficulties in the matter of repairs, the .state munition factories at Lyons, Toulouse and Roanne have, since the armistice, been turned with all speed into railway repairing shops. The French government has long hesitated to place orders in the United States, where alone new rolling stock could be procured, for fear of depressing the French rate of exchange unduly; but the country' needs became; so pressing that orders have now been given, it is understood, for purchasing $00 locomotives and 32,000 cars, while 27,000 American cars that were to have been shipped to France for the use of the American expeditionary force have also been acquired. Must Uciair Track. Perhaps the biggest task b.-for the French transportation experts is the restoration of the destroyed railway tracks In the invaded part of France. An army of 73,000 workers will be engaged on this preat work for months. It includes the reconstruction of 14 tunnels and 16.400 bridges, for which 50,000 tons of metal are required. In addition, hundreds of mils of main and branch lines have been temporarily "borrowed" for military purposes from elsewhere, and must now be relai 1. The departments a ff c ted have been divided up into sections, for each of which a "chief reorganized' has been appointed. Each of them has been required to Rive an undertaking that he will have his action in proper working order as reards transportation, in the course of th present year. An appropriation of 120.000.000 franca has, ben mad" by the government to enable the railway companies to purchase rolling stock for urgent public needs. The minister of public works has declared that, in his view, the restoration of France's northern and eastern railway systems should be made firs! charge upon the war indemnity to be paid by the enemy.
