Walsh, px Governor Dunne of Illinois and Michael J. Ryan) left X'aria this mornin? ior Dublin, whero they will arrive tomor row. They were invited by the "presi dent of the Irish republic" to visit Ira land, and their passports were amended quickly at the request of the American peace delegation to enable them to ac cept the invitation. In fact, their passports contain an indorsement that they were amended "at tho request of Tresident Wilson to travel to Ireland on an unofficial politi cal mission" The usual tedious formal-, ities, taking- three days, were dispensed with and American, French and British vises were obtained in a couple -of hours, the delegates being accompanied by an American officer to the different military control bureau. Cnraon Ralar. Itnmpaa. The mystery about the postponlns of the delegates' interview with Pre mier Lloyd George which was proposed to them in his behalf and was entirely unsought by them, haa been cleared up. It seems that when the news of this intended meeting reached London Andrew Bonar Law, the government leader in the house of commons, was sent to Paris by the British cabinet which had been scared by Sir Edward Carson, who, it appears, had notified them that if the matter was not ex plained to his satisfaction there would be trouble in parliament. Bonar Law sympathized with Sir Edward Carson in this attitude, so there were the mak ings of another crisis in this incident had not Premier Lloyd George sought refuge from the fulfillment of his pro fessed intention in excuses about being too busy "day and night" to give an hour to the Irish-American delegation. The delegates, however, are wholly unconcerned, as they did not come over to see Premier Lloyd George or any other British minister, but to invoke President Wilson's assistance to ob tain eafe conducts to Paris for Ed ward do Velera, Arthur Griffith and Count Plunket so they might lay Ire land's case before the peace confer ence. This is likely to be achieved, unless Premier Lloyd George and his cabinet once more recognize that Sir Edward Carson's vote is the ruling power in regard to the Irish policy. Great Reception Assured. The Irish-American delegates, who, during their fortnight's stay in Ireland, purpose to visit all the chief cities, in cluding Belfast, are certain of a thrill ing reception, and, whatever may be thought of the Sinn Felners' claim for independence, there is no doubt their advent in Ireland at this moment is bound to exercise a powerful influence on the Irish situation. When the Irish-American delegates find that Ireland is now governed en tirely by the commander-in-chief, Major-General Sir Frederick Charles Shaw, a military despot, and that to carry out their system a chief secre tary, who is a nonentity, has been in stalled in Dublin castle, they are not likely to have their views about Ire land modified by their visit.

MEDFORD, Or.. May 2. (Special.) Believing that submitting the lowest bid for construction of the Crater lake highway from Prospect to the park line means the establishment of an im portant new Industry in Jackson coun ty, a delegation from the commercial club met J. F. Brown of Eagle Point when he returned from Portland today and formally congratulated him on se curing the contract. When the question of construction first arose members of the state high way commission informed local citizens that the absence of engineers and con tractors might make work this year im possible. The Medford delegation re plied that Jackson county could furnish its own engineers and contractors. Two local contracting firms were formed and both submitted bids for the Crater lake highway work. Miss Victoria 1iberty, In Aviation Costume, Stimulates General In terest in Loan. Several persons "knew it all the lime"; many suspected who it was, and soma thought they recognized her by her teeth, but for the Benefit of those who frankly admit they did not know her identity, Milton R. Klepper, chair man of the flying circus reception com mittee, announces Miss Victoria Lib erty, the mysterious beauty, feature at traction of the victory loan campaign, to be Mis. Clarence M. Eubanks. a prominent young society matron. Garbed in the aviation costume of her husband, lately a pilot In the air service and secretary of the Portland Aero club, Mrs. Eubanks -made her first appearance as Victoria Liberty the day of the flying circus, April 1. . and soared the clouds with Lieutenant An drews in tailsplns, the falling leaf, and all the other aerial contortions sanc tioned by the government. "The flying was the only real fun I got out of the whole thing," said Mrs. Eubanks yesterday. "I wasn't the least bit frightened, because my husband had explained the stunts we would do, and I knew just what to. expect. We were in the air 25 minutes, and I loved every minute of it. Lieutenant Faulkner let me wear the German aviator's helmet that he had captured in France. "I wish I could have enjoyed appeal ing in public as much as I did flying, but I didn't. I was more frightened han I was at my wedding every tune had to come before those crowds. The first ordeal was the march I had to make from the Benson hotel to Lib erty Temple with the Ad club. I head ed the procession, and I was consumed with the fear that someone on the street would recognize me." Mrs. Eubanks disguise, although a imnle one, served as almost a complete concealment to her Identity. A black mask covered her entire face, with the exception of her mouth and chin. Out side of Mr. and Mrs. Eubanks and Mr. Klepper, no ona in the city knew who the "mysterious beauty" really was, al though many intimate- friends bus plcioned her identity. xne feature has stimulated a more general interest in the victory loan campaign than any other entertainment feature, according to committee offl cials.

With English Navy In Lead It Is Pointed Out Now la Time for All Nations to Rest. (Copyright by the New Tork World. Pub lished by Arran cement.) LONDON, May S. (Special Cable.) In an editorial on tha visit of Secre tary of the Navy Daniels, the Dally Telegraph suggests a "naval holldav" as a "breathing space" for the navies of the world. "Before the war opened," it says, "a naval holiday was proposed and reject ed by Germany, and Germany nover made a greater mistake than when she turned a deaf ear to this suggestion. Now the time has come when it can be maaa again. There need be no discua- tlon of standards of strength or mar gins or safety, but the British govern ment may well proclaim itself as pre pared to enter upon a naval holiday for the period of possibly five years. -in that way the advances which Sec retary Daniels Is making- can be met with a sincere desire to promote the common cause of humanity and to ce ment in firmer bonds the union of Entr- !sh shipping people. We advocate this act of self-denial because we believe we can afford to set an example to the world, giving It a breathing apace during which preconceived ideas on armaments can be reconsidered In the light of what may result from tho new league of nations."
