Peter K. m;mms} o New York, president of the Friends | of Irish Freedom n an address at the | opening today of the convention of | the Irish race. The purjose of the conveation is to demand for Ireland the right of self- determination, such as has been given to Poland, Czecho-Slovakla and other small nations. It will adjourn to- morrow. Five thousand delegates aro | meeting in the largest National Guard armory in the city Dr. Maginnis Makes Speech. M Lo ginnls, who is assistant eral of ihe Carmelite order, said: “T'he work before the convention of the lrish is of supreme import- livery day, every hour, nay, nt, must be offered up on that country’s freedom.

Did the voice of our great president ring true, or did it ring with doubtful tone when he told the listening world the principles that have made America the great and prosperous land undoubtedly is? “We have wept enough for Ire- land; we have gloried sufficiently in Ireland, now our duty is to work for Ireland, and to work in such a way that the world shall understand that aur work is the work of men who could die for Ireland.” Justice Cohalan Talks. Justice Daniel F. Cohalan of the New York supreme court sald that unless the doctrine of self-determina- tion be applied to Treland there can | be no just and permanent peace com- ing out af the work of the peace con- ference. “When our great president laid down the 14 points upon which peaco was to be made, a just, durable and permanent peace,” said Justice Coha- lan, “he placed no restrictions upon the application of those doctrines. He said that self-determination was fo be given to all peoples withaut cond- tion or qualification. If now that doc- trine is to be applied only to those peoples who were oppressed by the countries that were in arms against America, thea our struggles will have been largely in vain, and no just or permanent peace can come as the | consequence of this partial applica- tion of the president’s doctrine of self-determination. “If the war just ending was fought only for the purpose of breaking down one form of militarism, the war will not have brought about the end for which the people fought and bled she i single | the field during last and sacrificed: and war and a can- tinuance of war, instead of peace and | permanent peace, will ne the necessary outcome of the settlement which fails to apply the doctrine of self-determi- nation to all those who seek to be free.” Many Delegates Present.

This new policy established for in- come taxes explained by the in- ternal revenue hureau as follows: “If you were entited to any of the foregoins; exemptions ($1,000 for a person, $2,000 for a married person or head of a family and $200 additional for each dependent child) during part of the year only, you may claim many twelfths of the ex emptions stated as there were months in such part of the year; any part of a month may be counted asa month.” This applies also to marriages and divorce or death figures as inexorably as marriages or' births in counting the income tax. This is a reversal of last policy. Then the status of a on the last day of the year mined his personal exemptions.

With the American Northern Russia, Feb. 20 Associated Press.)-——While vague re- ports have reached the American forces on this front indicating that a tew American soldiers may be held captive at Vologda or Moscow, it ap- pears that the majority of the 35 Americans listed as missing in action since the beginning of the campaign must be counted as dead. Some of these were wounded men who became lost in the woods, while others were members of small detachments which were surrounded and are believed to have died fighting. One American manded ithe force Shenkursk, said that were missing after that attack undoubtedly dead, the Bolsheviki apparently had conducted itheir cam- paign on the basis of making no pris- | oners. Although the merican casualties in December and in heavier than those for | moniths combined, the lled, died of wounds missing, for the entire expedition up today are only 192, of which number eight officers. This is less than four per cent. of the forces involved.
