IS STRAIGHT FROM PARIS SINN FEINERS WHO FLED FROM PRISON Military Occupation of Dublin Mansion House Not Aimed at Parliament Suppression. DUBLIN, May 10—The military here by soldiers and police shortly yesterday afternoon, was not aimed at the suppression of the Irish Par- lament, whose sessions are held there, but was intended to effect the arrest of Robert Barton and J. J, Walsh, Sinn Fein members of Par- lament, and others who had recently were believed to be in the building. Dawson street, on which the Man- sion House stands, and al) the ad- joining streets were cleared of peo- ple, and tramway traffic was sus- pended, Parhament, which had met earlier in the day, had adjourned, but the building was to be used in the eve- ning for & reception by the Lord Mayor to Frank P.

These guests, including the American aelegutes, were held up outside the cordon of trovps with machine guns whica had been thrown about the building. Eventually the troops were with- drawn, without having captured the men who were sought. The reception then proceeded, Large crowds outside cheered the| Sinn Feinn leaders as they arrived | At the special session of the Sinn Fein Parliament @ reception was ac- corded the delegates from the Irish societies in America.

FACTOR IN CUTING SHOE EXPENSE “Many months of comfort at little expense’ is the way Charles A. a son of San Diego, California, sums up his experience with Nedlin Soles. Mr. Pearson had two pairs of shoes re- soled with Nedlin Soles, and after wearing them for twenty months writes “I will have to get new shoes sometime, but so far as the soles are concerned, that time seems as far distant as when they were new.” This is typical of the experience millions are having with Nedlin Soles, Created by Science to be durable, flexible and waterproof, these soles are an important factor in cutting shoe expense. You can get them on new shoes for the whole family, and for re-soling. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Akroh, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels— | guaranteed to outwear ail other heels. Sleslin Soles, ! bat paar wisest ede aye The Boy Who Stuck His Foot In SMALL boy the other day walked up to one of those splen- : did marble pillars before the Victory Arch and stuck his foot in. I went over and stooped down and felt of the crust. about an inch and a half thick. Then I stood in the middle of the avenue, all New York boil- ing and swirling around me and looked up at the Arch of Vic- tory, massive majestic white and heavenly soaring against the sky, —and my heart ached! Something made me feel suddenly close to the small boy. What he wanted to know with his foot, was what this splendid Victory Arch he had watched his big brave brothers march under and flags wave under and bands play through four hours, was made of; how much it amounted to, how deep the glory had struck in. I thought what a colossal, tragical, est monument it was of our victory over the Germans. Forty nations swinging their hats and hurrahing and eighty-seven million sullen unconquered Germans before our eyes in broad daylight making a national ex- istence from now on, out of fighting their bills! . . . Eighty-seven million Germans we have all got to devote ourselves nationally to sitting on the-necks of six hundred years! I am not. sorry the small boy stuck his foot in. Millions of It was Americans, though in a politer way, are doing it all this week. We.want to poke through to the truth. We want something more than a theatre-property Victory Arch, our soldier boys marching under it as if it were a real one! We want four and a half billion dollars this week to make it honest to take down our lath and plaster arch and put it up, in marble instead. We make this week a wager to a world—a four and a half billion dollar dare or cry to God that we are not a superficial people, that the American people will not be put off with a candy victory, all sugar and hurrahs and tears and empty watery words, that we will chase Peace up, that we will work Victory down into the structure of all nations—into the eternal underpinning of a world. In the meantime this glorious, alluring, sneering, beckoning Victory Arch, all whipped cream and stone froth, a nation’s gigan- tic tragic angel cake, with its candy guns and its frosting on it and before our eyes the grim, unconquered souls of eighty-seven million Germans marching through! We will let it stand haunt- ing us, beckoning us along to a victory no small boy, no Bolshe- viki nation can stick its foot in!
