Dublin, March 4.—Sharp criticism
of the new Irish home rule bUi wAa ex-
pressed by Sir Horace Piunkett, chair
man of the Dublin convention, at a
"welcome home" dinner given in his
honor here tonight by the Irish Dom
inlon league. He has just returned
from the United States and gave ins
> impression of the American attitude
toward Ireland.
"Long before the war broke out." he
said, "I waa convinced the peace of
the world and the orderly progress, if
not the survival of western civilization
depended jnore than on any other one
thing on mutual understanding be-
tween the British commonwealth—the
British empire—and the greet republic
of the went. How far Oermany timed
Armageddon with an eye on Ulster
let historians say, but it ia a matter
of personal knowledge that from 19X1
the Prussian government waa organiz-
ing a German-Irish alliance In Ameri-
can politics with a view to the coming
attack upon the world's freedom.
"I have not the least doubt that
supposing the Irish trouble had noth-
ing to do with the beginning of war, it
was an Important factor in delaying
America's decisive participation in the
struggle. To the same cause was due
a great deal of political embarrass
ment to the war administration in
Washington.
"I remember the question being ac-
tually raised whether the American
navy could wisely utilize Ireland as its
Dase of operations though happily
ilrategic considerations overruled po-
Itical objections. Only the sp^nclld
oyaltv to America by Irii-h-Amemans
'ounteracted the deep resentment
faused by contracts all too easily drawn
setween the treatment of the north-
sast corner and rest of our country In
conflict with the British government.
"Notwithstanding governmental con-
trol of news which was unprecedented
in the history of the British people In
which to their honor let it be said they
have hitherto set r shining example to
the world respecting freedom of opiu-
lon, Ireland has become increasingly
during the last decade the final proof
to every enemy of England and Amer-
ica that British alms in war and peace
are more hypocrisies, where they pro-
- fess to have any regard whatsoever
for the liberty of small nationalities.
"The British people, the British
parliament and all the British govern-
ment know this. Now and again some
prominent politician, wins cheers by
telling America to mind her own busi-
ness and taTking about her negro ques-
tion.
If we had a* many negroes in this
country as the Americans have Irish In
theirs and if these colored people pos-
sessed, the franchise here, we should
be no more silent about that problem
than the Americans are about Ireland.
I agree that is undesirable for any
alien legislative body or official rep-
resentatives of an alien government to
Indulge in official utterances of actions
of such nature, but what these people

or do is of Inflnltesimally small irn-

(Associated Pre** Dispatch )
^ Washington, Match 6.—Deeply con-
cerned over the rapid eastward spread
•f bolshevism Japan is understood to
fteslre creation of a buffer state be-
tween it and Soviet Russia. It is be-
lieved here that erection of such a
state may be made one of the first
consideration* in any future relations
between Japan and Russia.
To what extent this has determined
the policy of Japan to withdraw Its
troops from Siberia, however, officials
here are unable to say.
Establishment of an autonomous
Siberian state centered about Irkutsk
has been contemplated recently by the
bolsheviki, according to official dis-
patches. Such a state, while follow-
ing the political outline of the present
Russian government, would, accord-
ing to those advices, still possess a
sufficiently independent character to
satisfy any Japanese desire for a buf-
fer between Japan and bolshevik con-

(Associated Press Dispatch.)
" Washington, March 5.—The text of
the note from the French and British
premiers on the Adriatic situation, to
which President Wilson's reply was
delivered in London.today, was made
publie tonight by the state department.
It conforms closely to the summary
cabled from London Feb. 27, and em-
phasizes the Importance attached by
the premiers to the fact that Mr. Wil-
son had previously "expressed his will-
ingness1' to accept a settlement ar-
rived at by direct negotiations between
Italy and Jugo Slavia.
It has been assumed here that the
president's reply will be found on pub-
lication to deal mainly with the Invita-
tion of the premiers that he join them
in formally proposing sflch negeflft-
tions to the Italian and Jugo Slav gov-
ernments. Ne Intimation of his ans-
»ut ai
cessa
for the president's most recent note
to reach premier Millerand in France,
It will not be made public until Mon-
day.
The premier's note after reiterating
that they "have never had the Inten-
tion of making a definite settlement
of the questions raised without obtain-
ing the views of the American govern-
ment," adds that the "further explana-
tion of these views" contained in the
president's -TnemorandunV is for them
"a matter of very great lntere»t and
Importance."
"AH the more so," the note con-
tinues, "since it shows that the United
States government does not wish to
disinterest themselves from the gen-
eral question of peace."
At that point comes tlie statement
that absence of American representa-
tives from their deliberations had
proved "an almost Insurmountable ob-
stacle" to successful adjustment of
"the legitimate, though conflicting, as-
pirations of the Italian and Jugo-SUv
peoples."
In expressing agreement that di-
rect negotiations between those peo-
ple "would be the Ideal way of settling
the question," the premiers said they
were ready to withdraw their settle-
ment proposals of Dec. 9 and Jan. 20
as they felt "that if the two parties
principally concerned believe that the
various allied and associated powers
are committed to supporting them In
any particular solution it will be more
difficult to secure a voucher for agree-
ment between them."
In accordance with that feeling
President Wilsou was invited to Join
the premiers in proposing that the
slate be wiped clean of all previous
settlement proposals and that Italy
and Jugo Slavln. "negotiate by mutual
agreement" on that basis. Even
should negotiations fail of results,
however .the premiers formally an-
nounced they agreed in advance to
further Joint consideration by the
United States, France and Great Brit-
ain "with a view to arriving at cbn-
crete proposals" for settlement,
Mr. Wilson's stipulation that the
settlement by direct negotiation would
be acceptable to him, provided its
terms were not framed at the ex-
pense of the nationals of a third pow-
er, was duly noted by the premiers,
who said:
"The French and British premiers
desire further to record the wording
of appreciation of the interest taken
by the American government In the
future of the Albanian people and
they assure President Wilson that they
share to the full respect for the prin-
ciple he here enunciates. They state
that they are convinced that by a
view of the Albanian question a settle-
ment can be reached which will satis-
fy the aspirations of the Albanian peo-
ple for full self-government, while
taking Into consideration the vital in-
terests of all other parties concerned,
together with the necessity of assur-
ing to Jugo Slavia an outlet on the
Adriatic in "the region t>f Scutari .
"They are willing to utge upon the
governments Interested that they
should bring their desires into line
with the American point of view."
The premiers reiterate that the
treaty of London with Italy was kept
secret for military reasons only and
with regard to their statement that
should no amicable adjustment on the
Adriatic be possible, It would have to
come into force, say that their memo-
randum of February 17 covered this
a« fully as It was possible to do so.
In this connection, however, the note
says: "The Italian government has
co-operated most loyally and asidious-
ly with the French and British gov-
ernments In endeavoring to substitute
for the arrangements for the treaty to
Jugo Slatia. Such ap agreement
would obviously replace and annul the

SOCIALIST TRIAL
SPOKEN FRIDAY
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Albany, N. Y., March h*—The last
word in behalf of the five socialist
members of the state assembly who
have been under Investigation by the
assembly judiciary committee, was
spoken today.
"You take your chance in present-
ing your views to the people," said
Seymour Stedman, their counsel, In
concluding this summing up before
the committee. "We take ours, feel-
ing that the mass Intellect of this
country, with all the facts before it,
will ultimately arrive at the correct
solution. That Is the faith of the so-
cialist—the faith in ideals of Ameri-
canism—deep, solid and heartfelt.
That is what we believe In. And,
gentlemen, that is what you belleVe
in, and it is In that belief that we have
our hopes and our just expectations
for the seating of these assemblymen.
The Investigation was adjourned
until next Tuesday, when Elon R.
Brown, former state senator, will con-
clude for the prdsecutlon and the
"case" will go to the committee, which
after receiving briefs, is expected to
make its report during the week of

Learned Hand tonight refused to order
out of military jurisidlctlon Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, wealthy young
Philadelphian, charged with desertion
from the army in evading the draft
law and his courtmartlal will be con-
tinued tomorrow morning on Govern-

In dismissing Bergdoll's motion.
Judge Hand said that It seemed as
"destitute of merit as any I have ever
encountered."
Harry Weinberger, counsel for
Bergdoll, announced he would carry
the case to the United Slates supreme
court and demand for his client the
right of a civil trial by jury.
The action of local board for di-

Bergdoll and the question of whether
Bergdoll at the time was of unsound
mind were matters Irrelevant to the
petition for a change of jurisdiction.
Judge Hand stated, adding that t*»a

to show "that the man was merely a

the face of denials from foremost lo-
cal and foreign interests of any im-
mediate prospect of European gold
Imports, even in moderate volume.
J. P. Morgan & Company, financial
agents of the British government here,
declared they were without knowledge
of such a movement. Advices from
London also pointed to the slight
probability of pending gold shipments
to New York.'
There were further accesslcns to
the gold movement to South America,
but trade authorities believe exports
to that country will soon cease. Sev-

from Canada were said to be without
bearing upon the reported Anglo-
French situation.

Adana, Asia Minor, Sunday, Feb
29.—Since the siege of Peking foreign-
ers have undergone no more nerve
racking experience than seventeen re-
lief workers of the American commit-
tee for relief in the near east, shut up
for twenty-two days without outside
communication in a mission compound
at Marash. They were under a con-
stant rain of lead, while French
troops, aided by Armenians battled
with Turkish nationalists for the pos
session of the city. More than half of
the town was burned during the en
gagement and there was a terrible loss
of life.
The story is told in the diary of the
Rev. C. T. S. Crathern. a Boston Y.
M. C. A. secretary, who went through
the siege and arrived at Adana Feb.
IB. Mr. Crathern with Paul Snyder,
Miss Helen Schultz, of Reading, Pa., a
French lieutenant and two Armenians
Attempted to leave Marash by automo-
bile for Alntab, Jan. 20, but were
driven back to Marash by a fusillade
of bullets notwithstanding that Mr.
Crathern displayed the American flag.
The Turks had been resenting occupa-
tion of Marash and other Sicilian
cities for many weeks, Mr. Carthern
reports and Algerian troops were en-
gaged in a skirmish with Turkish
bandits when the American automo-
bile appeared and drew fire from the
Turks. Mr. Carthern's diary says on
Jan. 21 he found Marash with Its
bazaars and shops closed and the
Turks engaged in talking in small
groups throughout the city.
At noon shots were heard by the re-
lief workers, indicating that the long
threatened clash in the city had
started. French officials arrested sev-
eral important Turkish officials,
which it was thought precipitated a
clash at Aros. Shooting soon began
in all parts of the city. A French
sentinel guarding an American hospi-
tal was killed and another French
soldier was wounded.
Sniping continu/d throughout the
night and the Americans were awak-
ened on the twenty-second by guns
and flashes from exploding shells. An
attack was made on the American
hospital, the doctors and nurses hav-
ing a narrow escape.
Fighting continued on the twenty-
third and through his field glasses
Mr .Crathern said he could -see Ar-
menhrns fleeing, through the street*
before the Turks, who shot them
down, while Turkish snipers In the
hills about the city shot Armenians
attempting to leave Marash. The di-
ary says:
"It was pitiful to see them throw
up their hands and scream while nt-
tempting escape. We watched them
fleeing o»er the hills until they
reached our compound, some dropping
wounded, and others staggering into
the mission grounds with wild eyes
and purple faces, telling of the awful
massacre just beginning."
On the twenty-fourth the Americans
conferred with the French generals,
Querette and told him stories the re-
fugees brought of the horrors. He
said he would try to correct the situ-
ation. But efforts to negotiate a ces-
sation of hostilities failed and a heavy
bombardment began in the afternoon.
The French fired upon certain sections
from which the Turks were sniping.

Washington, March 5.—The storm
of almost blizzard proportions which
has swept over the country from the
northwest, apparently had plunged
out into the Atlantic tonight, leaving
a trail of stranded shipping in its
wake. Reports to the weather bureau
showed that a 48 mile wind, accom-
panied in many sections by snow and
sleet, marked the passage of the dis-
turbance to the sea over the whole
eastern half oj the United States. At
sea Its coming had been foretold by
storm warnings, but reports of
steamers driven ashore came quickly
from the Virginia coast on the heels
of the warning.
Weather bureau officials said to-
night that the wind would diminish
in force ashore during the night, the
center of the disturbance passing on
to sea.
Behind the cold spell, however,
warmer weather lurks fos the central
and southern portions of the storm

Within a few days there will be a
marked rise in temperature.

that the district attorney's office was

"I have evidence,'' he said, "that

Washington, March 5.—With anoth-
er failure to ratify the peace treatj
impending, democratic senators de-
cided today to seek personal consulta-
tion with President Wilson before tin
decisive vote i-s taken. They wished
to know definitely how far he would
go in endorsing a compromise, and
also a clear understanding of hli
views on the treaty as a campaign
issue should another senate deadlock
force it into politics.
Some democrats were understood
also to wish to know what measurei
the president would expect congresi
to take to relieve the country from
a war status while decision at the polll
on the treaty was awaited.
The move for such a conference. In.
ttlated long ago among some element!
of the parly in the senate, took def-
inite form when Senator Hitchcock,
of Nebraska, the adminiMration lead-
er, sent a letter to the White Houst
asking that the president talk ovef
the senate situation with Senator Sim-
mons of North Carolina, In charge ol
the democratic side of the new move-
ment to negotiate a treaty compro«
inlse.
It was indicated, however, that tin
appointment with Senator Simmons, 1(
one was arranged, would be only pre-
liminary to a conference with a com-
mittee of senators chosen to take u|
with him the whole treaty problem
In Dome quarters it was intimated thai
senators .fronr both political partiei
eventually might meet with the pres-
ident In an effort to reach a com-
promise. *

ator Hitchcock's letter did not reacll
the executive offices until late in thi
day and no word regarding the pres-
ident's intention was forthcoming
from the White House tonight. It
was indicated, however, that an ap-
pointment probably would be mad«
either tomorrow or early next week.
. Tlie new negotiations have centered
about article ten, the hardest nut t<
crack in treaty controversies, but such
progress has been made that the out-
come I') regarded by many senator*
as depending now on the verdict ol
the president. Democratic senalori
do not want to vote for a ratification
which the president later would re-
ject, nor do tliey wartt to turn down
any reasonable offer of compromise
unless they are certain it is unsatls-
fnetory to him.
As the article ten compromise pro-
posal now shapPN up in the Watson-
Simmons negotiations, it is under-
stood to contemplate a reservation
declaring that the I'nited States de-
clines to guarantee the territorial In-
tegrltv of other league members bj
means of its army or navy, by a boy-
cott or any other method of commer-
cial force, or by diplomatic pressure,
except when congress gives specific
and affirmative authority for such a
course.
In these negotiations both Senator
Hitchcock and Senator Lodge, ol
Massachusetts, the republican leader,
have remained well in the background
