Neutral on Irish Insue The Irish question wns discussed by several spenlitrs and a resolution finally adopted warning nil Presbyterians nsalnst bIvIiijc moral or financial sup port to the movement to free Irclnnd. The Itev. Dr. James Wallace, presi dent of McAlestcr College. St. Paul, Minn., discussing proposal that the United iltntox should recognize" the Irish republic and hnvc consular rep resentatives there, said: "We have no sympathy with this proposition. AVe have no right to In terfere. It Is n question strictly for the Itritlsh empire. In our own country we hnvc n.rnclnl question which we hnvc not done one-tenth as much to solve as Hrltaln has her racial question In Ire land." Another speaker 'cnlled nttentinn to the fact that the American Illhlc So' cicty had taken the Prntclftnnt Friends of Irish Freedom to task for their ad ocncy of an Irish republic, nnd that nfter July 1 would uot permit them to hnvc their meeting place in the Jliblc House in New York. The resolution minuted nn In tlm nf. feet that "as a result nf the visit of laymen and ministers of tlie rrntrxtaiit faith In Ireland to the I'nlted States. It is asked that the (ipn'onil Aaunmlilr express sympathy with those Protestant people In the resistance they nrn offer ing to Uint which threatens their free dom and Is In danger of leading to wide spread iiersecutlon. ''Wp call upon our American people in iiccu ine nuinonitioii ot tins delega tion, which Is to keep hnnils off, to re fuse to contribute to the cause of Irish freedom and to remember that I'rot. estnnt Irclnnd is asking for nothing but w oo let alone. "We request every one to make tlior ouch personal investlffntinn lwfnrn fly ing mornl or material support to that which pretends to be nn effort to make Ireland, free." A resolution on the Armenian villi. ntlon also wnH offered nnd indorsed. It was set forth that the assembly realized "the serious conditions in the Near l'nst are n menace to the pence of the world, and that the American dolnv in slen- Ing the League of Nations treaty is u contributing factor to this condition, nnd urge Immediate action on the part of this country to Join the League ot .Mitloiis, with or without reserva tions. Nations Hlght.s at Stake "The prestige of open diplomacy and the rights of small nations are nt stake, continued the resolution. "Let us purge ourselves of the criticism or charges of Intrigue or double dealiug. nnd let us do our pnrt to check the selllshncss of the nations of the world nnd licln re-establish world neacc. '"Let America, do her sliacr townrd establishing stnhle conditions, especially in the Kast. Let us make It a' ques tion not of political expedience, but of service. 'Hint purpose which led Amer ica into the war has not been fulfilled hv thp rnN.snttnti nf lintttlltlpM. Tt- la ufll in'kIi Impossible for Orent Britnin to settle the eastern question without America's help. Without this there Is no hope for the suhject races. The Itev. Dr. Wallace urged the as sembly to take action on the Lcngue of Nations in n separate resolution, say ing t lint this could not be mnde 'too strong. Though there was some differ nice of opinion expressed on the League oi .Minims qui'SLioii, me following rcso lutlon was adopted : "In spite of the defects of the League of Nations treaty, so much of It is just nnd good that we believe it should he passed. We regret the long .and trying debate over a period of months while Kuropc has been starving. This is a source of great humiliation for America: it is a great tumble for her lofty idealism. This astonishing fiasco has mnde us the laughing stock of the world." The resolution recommended that whether "there were fifteen or no res crvutlons" the treaty should bo passed. At present, tiic resolution declared, America is "still lined up with the unworthy nations of the world, Itussin, Ciormnny, Turkey, .Mexico." With all its faults, the resolution declares, the Lengue-of-Natious treaty Is one of the greatest plans ever p,ut forward. drover Cleveland Itergdoll, million aire draft evnder. lived nt his mother'; home for five weeks Inst fall while federal agents were combing the coun try for hiijj. then skipped out just be fore the house wns rnlded August 22. This was the story told today by Mrs. Kninio 0. Hergdoll, mother of the army convict, who Is again nt liberty after escaping from two nnny guards Inst week.

'Let the officers come in.' I oskwl him why he didn't say that in the first place. Afterward I paid off that lawyer and hud nothing more to do with him. "About It o'clock the ngents cume back.

"Captain Campbell, are you Interested in the latest phase nf the Hergdoll cnsci that Is, the one that has developed since his arrest? Ills reply was, "Mighty little," nnd he turned to Mr. Olbboney to confirm his statement,- MY. Olbboney responded witfi nn nfurmativc nod.

As a party of officers were leaving the boat which plies between Oovernors island nnd Manhattan the salutes were general nnd usually accompanied by brond grins on the pnrt of the. military men who recognised Mr. Oibboney. One of tlie portliest, whom Mr. Olb boney nddrcssid ns general, waved his linml nnd laughingly remnrked : "Nn use going over, Olbboney. The bird's flown ; he's not over there."

Former Kaiser, as Tailor, Said to Be Malting Good K -. London, May 28. (Hy A. P.) William of Hohenzollern, former emperor of Germany, is trying his hand nun tailor, according to a Cen tral News "dispatch from Amster dam. He is cutflug nut patterns for many new ults with which he Is going to stock his wardrobe and tlie dlspntch quotes a trade paper as declaring he Is "excelling at the job." "How unfortunate It Is," says this paper, "that William missed his vocatldh. After all the notoriety lie achieved as an emperor one can Imagine what would have been his fame an a tailor." TROUSERS IN MIX-UP Former Circus Clown Gets Damages for Tailor's Mistake Horace Hupp, one-time Iturnum & Untley clown, now owner of "Ilupp's Oolden Show," stood in front of Inglsi, trnte Orclls's desk nt 1.'513 AtcIi street and held ill) n pair of trousers. "Judge," suld lie, "this blame tnllor must of thought I was a one-legged man. Just look at these here pants. Dog-gone, there's a whole, leg gone." The "judge" wiped his ejes. "And uow. your honor. Just lamp these," continued Horace Hupp. "These old jeans weren't lit for a lot when X took 'em to the tailor. He did a neat job of patching I'll make free to admit, but blame It nil, judge, lie patched the wrong pair." Tlie old clown explained that lie had taken two pairs of trousers, one worn out, the other new, to Joseph Wnsscr- niun, u tailor, at .117 .North .Nineteenth street. To provide against the future and hand another jolt to the well known. H. O. L. Hupp instructed the tnllor to cut a large patch out of the old trousers and apply it to the scat of tlie new. "Instead of which," said Hupp, "he cut u whole leg oilt of the new pair and used it to patch up all the holes in tho old ones. And he charged mc live bones for the jcb.V When the magistrate stopped laugh ing he ordered Wasscrinnii to pay back the !?r. give Hupp the price of a new pair of trousers and settle the costs. SEES SHOE PRICE FALL McClaln Declares Leather Drop In dicates Footwear Reductions State Fairpricc Commissioner Frank It. McClniu, today issued a statciueut to tlie effect that by fall the price of shoes will have dropped. "Do not expect pre-war prices be cause the price of lubor has uot yet dropped to the degree that leather has. I Fashionable shoes with buckles, straps and all the fancy trimmings will be as expMislvc ns the.v arc now.
