IRISH POLICY
IS ATTACKED
New Battalions Are Added
To Sinn Fein Army
Says O'Connor
LONDON, Nov. 4 In the house
of commons today, T. P. O'Connor
attacked what he described as the
authorities' policy of frightfulness
in Ireland which, he declared, was
adding new battalions' to the Sinn
Fein army and besmirching En
gland's good name.
Joseph Devlin, Belfast, and
other members strongly de
nounced tbe reprisals in Ireland.
Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief
secretary for Ireland, ; replying,
gave statistics showing j that the
military and police were not fal
tering in their endeavor to main
tain the strictest discipline. Nine
constables were under arrest, two
of them charged with murder.
General Sir Nevil Macready, com
mander of the forces, had Inquired
into every charge against the
troops and disciplinary action had
been taken In ten cases. Trials
had been ordered in other cases,
including seven men for compli
city in the destruction of property
at Mallow.
He said it was the government's
duty to defend the organized and
armed attempts to intimidate the
government into granting the in
dependence of Ireland. If the gov
ernment failed in this, the policy
of assassination would spread to
England. The best way to put
stop to what were called reprisals,
he said, was to stop the campaign
of murder against the police and
military.
I Mr. O'Connor's motion of ad
journment was defeated, 133
to 51.
COW MAKES NEW RECORD.
SEATTLE, Nov. 4. Carnation
Segls Prospect, owned by the
Carnation stock farms . near here,
established a new world record
for milk production with a total
of 33,469 pounds or milk in 318
days, according to announcement
today by E. A. Stuart, president
at the farms. .
AMERICAN RED CROSS
Aiding children Is one of the
treat problems of the Red Cross.
Over two years ago 782 children
probably ' more " than the Sun
day schools show enrolled -were
shipped from, Petrograd Into Si
beria when food ran short. The
Red Cross helped feed and clothe
them, doctored them, mothered
them and kept them pare and
sound. Russian revolution made
it impossible to take them back
the way they came. The Red
Cress et out on a 25.000-mile
Jrurney to take them home ny
way of Japan, through the Pana
ma canal to New York, and . then
to France. The writer personally
i;aw the manner In which these
children were handled at San j
Francisco and the ef ricient care
fiven them by the Red Cross.
Willamette chapter for 1920
wants to do the following things
for the children: Support a Red
Cross health center, which will
mean that every derormed child
shall be treated, and treated prop
erly; it means that every child
with Impaired vision shall have
an equal opportunity with the
most favored child; it means that
all those with physical derects or
whatever kind and nature shall
through the guidance or the Red
Crossv be relieved, when possible,
of these conditions which handi;
cap them in the race for life.
To do this it is necessary that
in these two counties every resi
dent able so to do, must sacri
fice foine of his or her time and
enercy that others may be made
happier. Arriliated representa
tives of 42 civilized nations have
given thought and study to this
matter. In the establishment of
health centers is seen the best
universal opportunity ever pre
sented to aid In raising the stan
dard of health. Every man ana
woman, every boy and girl has
now an opportunity to help. Wil
lamette chapter wants to do this
and ; Jts success depends entirely
upon Marion and Polk county gen
erosity. ' !; . ;w-
HARDING IS
SERENADED
BY FRIENDS
Front Porch Chief Forum of
Senator's Campaign Was
Center of Red-Fired Cel
ebration by Thousands
PLANS FOR VACATION
TRIP ARE COMPLETED
President-elect Asks for
Confidence of American
People
MARION, Ohio( Nov. 4. Mak
ing his first speech as president
elect. Warren G. Harding declared
at an election celebration of home
folks tonight that the Versailles
league of nations was "now de
ceased." although the new admin
istration intended to see that the
nation played its part in a new in
ternational association founded on
peace and justice.
League Is Now Dead,
Mr. Harding also told bis
friends and neighbors who gath
ered around the front porch in a
cheering concourse rivalling the
greatest crowd of the campaign,
that he had come through the
fight "without an apology or a
regret" and that he would rather
not have the presidency than to
win it "by speaking ill or utter
ing a lie."
The celebration, in which many
from other Ohio cities joined, was
characterized by all the carnival
features of an old-time political
rally. So great was the gathering
that the streets were jammed for
a block away and only a small
part of those present could hear
the speech. In a parade past the
Harding residence there were
many special features, one man
leading a donkey on whose sides
was painted "Jimmle didn't treat
me right," while another group
carried a dummy corpse silhouet
ted against a red-fire background
and labelled "the League of Na
Ideals Hold First Place.
It was from the latter tableau
that the president-elect toYok the
cue for the leading thought of his
speech. His reference to it started
a laugh and then he said:
J'l didn't see as much sorrow In
your faces as I had apprehended.
It's not that you or I question the
desire of America to play its part;
it's not that we question the high
ideals of those who were responsi
ble for the Versailles covenant,
ou just did not want a surrender
of the United States of America;
you wanted America to go on un
der American ideals. That's why
you didn't care for " the league
which is now deceased.
"America is playing a great part
now. America is healing the heart
of the old world tonight as no
other nation. But there is more
to do. There is a new world re
lationship and when the next ad
ministration comes into power
we're going to play our part
We're going to ask for nations
associated together In justice; but
it shall be an association which
surrenders nothing of American
freedom."
Confidence of People Welcomed
The president-elect touched on
no other issues of the campaign
but thanked the crowd for its
tribute and asked that he go to
Washington "with your good
wishes and your ! confidence and
prayers."
"It's a solemn responsibility,'
he said, "and when I am through
I want to be able to come back
and be one of you again, tbe same
as I am now I like to stand be
fore you and tell you I don't come
with a single apology or regret.
Before I'd become president by
speaking ill or uttering a lie, I'd
spurn the office." He added that
he always had liked "the Marion
spirit of boosting," and that he
was going down to Washington
as a booster for the United States
of America."
Harding Is Serenaded.
Thousands took part in the pa
rading and serenade. Noise-making
devices of many kinds shriek
ed about the Harding. home and
the crowd sang and shouted by
turns while a half dozen bands
pieced In with patriotic airs, old
time favorites and jazz.
The Harding front porch, chief
forum of the senator's campaign.
was the center of the celebration.
although the town's business and
residential streets also were under
the sway of the carnival spirit un
til late.
Standing where he had deliv
ered most of his important utter
ances to the nation and with Mrs.
Harding at his side, the president
elect received the congratulations
of his fellow townsmen, shook
hands with hundreds and thanked
them ror their devotion.
Democrat Is Spokesman.
The Marion civic association
was the moving spirit in the jolli
fied ion but there were many pres
ent from other Ohio cities, includ
ing large delegations from Colum
bus. Cleveland and Cincinnati.
