to Authorize Appointment of Diplomatic and Consular Representatives to \u201cRepublic of Ireland.\u201d =» Washington, D.C., Dec.12.-\u2014\u2014Advo- ates of freedom for Ireland headed by Justice Cohalan,.of the New York Bupreme Court, appeared before the House Foreign Affairs Committes today to urge passage of a bill by Representative Mason, Republican, Illinois, to authorixe appointment of diplumatic and cronsul- ar representative to the \u201cRepublic of Ireland.\u201d In the detegation were Frank P.Walsh, of Kansas City, Bourke Cochrane, of New York.and others who have been active in seeking diplomatic recagnition for the provision government headed by Eammon De Valera.who arrived here yesterday to confer with Irish leaders from over the country.Argulng In support of his measure Representative Mason said it would not constitute a complete recognition but simply show the willing- neas of Congress to do its part to that end.Justice Cohalan told the committee that his delegation spoke for the majority of 20,000,000 Americans of Irish descent and was pleading in behalf of a government which was well organized and firmly supported by its constituents.Representatives Flood, Democrat, Virginia, suggested that recognition of a foreign government was purely an executive function, outside the authority of Congress.Justice Cohalan answered that the two branches of the Government should co-operate to maka the rec- ngnition complete, American recognition, he said, would convince Great Firitain that the only solution was a grant of full freedom.Opposition Voiced The first speaker to oppose the bill was James 8.McGraw, a Pittsburgh minister of the Reformed Preshyterian Church.He declared that while a \u201ccertain faction\u201d in Ireland was trying to establish a republic there wan great division of opinion here.The Irish RepZhlic, he sair, could not be considered à de facto government, under international law.\u201cThe fact that they have not à sufficient army\u201d.he maid.\u201cthat they have not a system of taxation, that they have not established courts, and other circumstances demonstrate that they have not really established a de facto government.\u201d Mr.McGraw read a resolution that he said was adopted -by the First Pennsylvania Cantonment of the American Legion, declaring that Prezident Tle Valera of the Irish Republic has used his influence to handicap the cause of Great Britain and the Aliles in the war, and protesting against his activities in the \u2018vd States George Waldron, of Baltimore, head of the Free Press Defence League, said the committes was considering \u201csomething that doen not exist in the even nf the world.\u201d Advocales of Irish freedom In this rountry, he said, had \u201cimported an @ssumed President of Ireland to stir up a dissension against Great Britain and foster a feeling of sympathy for Ireland that it is & very dangerous proposition.\u201d Referring to Chairman Torter'a warning that religious questions would not be considered, Waldron sald it was well-known that there wal only nne religion represented by thee who urged pasmage of the bill.\u201cIt's all an organization affair\u201d, he sald.Edward M.McFadden, President of the l'later Mociety of Pittaburz, à native of Ireland, said the time had come to put aside hyphenism and get back to pure Americanism.\u201cThere never has been an Triatt nation\u201d, said Mr, McFadden.\u201cThey are No more united today than they were when they had five kings in the + Irish provinces.\u201d Three Parties There ars three parties in Ireland, he raid, the Binn Fein Party \"representing the mont selfish doctrine that ever was held up\u201d, the Nationalist Party, which had worked for Home Rule, and the Ulsterites.He denied that a majority wanted Independence He declared it was \u201ca matter of record\u201d that the Sinn Fein Party was \u201cgiven orders to refuse conscription throughout Ireland\u201d, during the war, George T.Lemon, of Troy, N.Y., president of the National Federation of Presbyterian Patriotic Bocieties, also opposing the bill, charged that the advocates of Irish freedom ques- attempting to force the Irish pues- tion into the 1920 presidential campaign.Buch a step, he declared, could only result in harm.He deri- ied that the Irish, either In Ireland + the United States, wers united for Irish freedom.Referirng to the Casement revolutionary movement in Ireland during the war, Mr.Lemon declared his conviction that if the Sinn Fein element had been able to establish an Independent nation prior to or early in the war, it would have gone on the side of Germany.\u201cAnd everything that comes out of the war,\u201d he continued, \u201cindicates that there was an understanding be- \u2018ween German-Americans and Irish- Americans in the United States.Not « majority, but many.\u201d Declaring the whole spirit of today's hearings wan anti-British, Mr.Lemon said that the bill before the Committee approached the problem from the wrong angle.\u201cIt the time has come to strike in this way\u201d, he declared, \u201cthe first thing to do is not to send & minister to the Trish Republic but to withdraw your Ambassador from the Ceurt of 8t.James.\u201d * A statement by Robert Watson, a Scotch Presbyterian Minister of New York City, opposing the bill, was put Into the record by Mr.McGaw.George L.Fox, of New Haven, Conn., another witness opposing the bill began his statement by quoting from Senator Lodge.Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, who, he said, had told him in private conversation last December that the United States \u201chad no business\u201d interfering in the Irish question.Eulogizing Great Britain as the friend of the United States, the speaker got into trouble with the Committes, when, turning to Mr.Walsh, he said the Rritish Government was doing all it could dé to win the war, \u201cwhile this man was thinking to help Germany.\u201d Commotion Followed.In the commotion which followed the statement, .Representative Mason made himself heard above the hoots of the crowd and interposed a sharp nbjection to reflection on any witness before the committee.Representative Kennedy, Republican, Rhode Tsland, temporarily in the chair, reprimanded Mr.Fox and pounded for order at the same time, but the crowd got out of control again when a spectator shouted: \"And he shouldn't lie about a citizen of the United Btatez.\u2018* With frequent Interruptions and shouts of dirapprovai, Mr.Fox then proceeded to compare the situation in Ireland with that of the southern confederacy during the Civil War, Cireat Britain and the other powers, he sald, withheld recognition from the confederacy even after It had held the Union armies at bay for tour years, while recognition was asked for Ireland \u201calthough it never had an effective army.\" Denying Mr.Waish's statement that the British schools system in Ireland had been abandoned, the speaker said the Irish are receiving the same school funds as are England and Bcotiand, but fail to make use of them by appropriating locally ns the other parts of the Empire do.Me charged that while only one voter in 360 In England and Scotland is Ulige=ate, the ratio in Ireland is one to eight.Mr.Fox also ridiculed statements that \"governing classes\u201d opposed Ireland and dwelt at length on the influence of the Roman Catholic Church in the Sinn Fein movement.The elections, he sald, were not ro- presentative, but were manipulated by \u201cthe Roman Cathelie Sinn Fein Irish who took the part of the enemy in the war.\u201d Pretty Christmas Gifs, Flower Vases and Jardiniores We have s fine assortment, moderately priced.Largest Retafl Florists in Censda Montreal and

Believe Cabinet Divided Too Greatly to Reach Agreement .London, Dec.12.\u2014(By the Aswd.Piuæs)-The anouncement in the tiouse of Commons yesterday that the introduction of the Irish bill would have to be postponed, at least fur a fow days, has caused the press te drop ail confident predictions re- uarding the pruspects of a lome Hule measure, the cumment now ex- dressing general uncertainty.The staunch unionists, especially the Ulster men, have been indifferent or opposed to the bill as outlined in the press and have all along given voice to doubis of its being introduced before Christmas, believing the cabinet ministers divided too greatly for an agreement to be toached.\u2018This supposed divisions among the Cabinet members was emphatically reusserted in Unionist circles today.It was further declured that the proposed scheme for two parlia- nents with connecting central council, does not appeal to any section of Irish opinion, and that ihe Uovernment has been made aware of this by representations on the part of the various political sections.It is not questioned that the postponement of the bill's introduction was actually due, as stated by Mr.Donar Law, to the visit of Premier Clemenceau, with whom Premier Lloyd (jeorge is now occupled.It was declared by some lobby circles, however, that this excuse for a postponement came opportunely for the government.Elsewhere the belief is expressed that a section of the Cabinet is seriously trying to get the bill introduced before the prorogation of Parliament for the Christmas holidays and the Premier in credited by some with the intention to secure both the first and second readings of the bill before the vacation period, although not expecting to carry the measures further until the next session.Berlin, Dec.12.\u2014The Analine Dye Corporation at à general conference has voted unanimously to increase its capitalization from 33,000,000 marks to $8,000,000 marks.The administration gave exhaustive reasons for this move, citing among other things that the Baden Analdine Soda Corporation had succeeded in perfecting synthetic ammonia and that thers had been further development during the war In the creation of an enormous plant for explosives at Merseburg.It was stated that the capital invested in explosives now totals several hundred millions, but that mure than a billlon marks are needed.With this capital the corporation expects to be able to produve explosives and fertilizer in sufficient quan- titles for the German needs for the chemical industry and for agrarian work.Pago Two Latest Styles From Gay

increase of 8.470,000 francs over the corresponding period in 1913.Freight receipta show an increase of 4,826,000 francs.The total receipts amount to 222,487,000 francs.Tarifs have doubled since 1913.The state raliroad expenses in 1913 were approximately 243,000,000 francs, and according to estimates in 1919 thene will amount to some $69,200,000 trance, an increase of 816.000.000 francs, or 180 per cent.This is the result largely of the high cost of raw materials (ooal, oil, and so forth), supplies, the increased cost of repairs, and the rise in ssiarice.96 06 36 06 0600 06 26 DE 06 26

Retail Merchants\u2019 Ase speciation, with E.Loftus, K.C., as spokesman, appeared | before the ltenra of Commerce today and told that hody that it was going about Its business in the wrong way to attain lita object, and asked that maximum profit-fixing be abandoned.The anall retaller would be driven out of \u201cusiness If it continued, Mr, Enflus argued, the poorer class of purch- axer would

have to come suddenly under the ruling.Mr.W.F.O'Connor told Mr.L.of- tus that he was wrong in saying that the objects of the Board were to enable the public to purrhase necessaries at the lowest price consistent with (ost of conducting business; on the contrary, its object was to detect persons charging undue profits.Asked If what he was requesting, practically was that the board should be aholished, Mr.Loftus replied that he suj'posed that is what it amounted to.Mr.O'Connor told him he had appeared before the wrong hody; he should go before the Government.Mr.Loftus declared there had

becoming so general that municipalities would soon be obliged Lo din- continue this policy, Ite believed that the City should have refused the request of the C.P.12.And let the company seek the exemption from the legislature itself, Mayor Lavigueur snid it was not 8 question of granting an exemptiots to the C.I.R.right away, but simply to\u2019 secure the authorization from the Legislature and the Council could decide later whether or not the exemption would be granted.He pointed out that for a logs time the City had urged the C.P.R.to construct the extension, but the Company had delayed building owing te the war.Last (all however, Mr.k.W: Beatty, President of the C.P.it.had announced at & banquet here that the extension would be built.tiv Also reminded the Council that the C.P.R.had sume time ago asked for a reduction in taxes and the Finance Committee had replied at the time that this could not be granted, but that when the new ving would be erected the City would grant an exemption from taxes.The Mayor explained that the exemption was only for property taxes and that the C.P.R.would stiil ray schol taxes and water taxes on « sum of two million dollars.Besiden, the C.P.R.at present pald $115,000 to the City in laxes, and tHe extension would bring many tourists to the City and would also he a good advertisement for Quebec.He said that he was prepared to take

Agriculture, it is learned that in the year 1918, there were 36,761,257 pounds of butter manufactured in this province and 62,076,210 pounds of cheese.12,210,889 pounds of butter were made exst of Three Rivers, and 34,663,729 pounds of cheese manufactured east of Three llivers.Mostly all the butter made was consumed in Canada, but 90 per cent of the cheese was exported to other countries, It ia contended that the 34,563,719 pounds of cheese manufactured east of Three Hivers, and exported through the port of Montreal, should have been exported through the port of Quebec, especlally as most of this cheese came from the Lake St.John and Saguenay districts, along the line of the Intercolonial Railway and from Beauce, us well as from points along the Transcontinental Rallway.When the above facts were ntat- od to a inerchant and member of the Board of Trade, he said it was the fault of Quebec provision merchants, who allowed strangers to go over the country parts in the district of Quebec and buy all the farms products that were shippad to Montreal produce firms for export and aiso some Quebec firms who also had buyers in the country around Quebec, and, instead of exporting on their own behalf, gold the products to Montreal houses for export.The Quebec merchant also remarked, that until such tine as Quebecers act upon their own initin- tion, and gather in the goods themselves.and reap the benefits of shipping from the port of Quebecthey would lag behird In progress.and keap this city in the same isolated rut us themselves.The Cambridge Rook Store has a Christmas

try through such a rallway would pass and telling of the grading 4-10ths to the mile that would enable! the hauling of heavy irains.He gave; R history of the proposed railway that had been spoken of and survey ed many years ago, and told how the Nova Scotia Parliament as well as} the old Parliament of Lower Canada \u2018 had endorsed the line from St.Ste-; phen to Quebec as the shortest and\u2019 most advantageous to connect the West and the City of Quebec with the Maritime Provinces.He said that the highest summit wan 1154 feet in comparison with the summit on the C.P.R.line via Sherbrooke which 1s 1895 feet.Mr.Maxwell said that in 1628, when the Parliament of Lower Canada and the Legislature of Nova Scotia approved of the building of a raliroad from Bt.Stephen to Quebec, and when the promoters went to; England to raise the money, à mililon bounds were subscribed In one day.In the meantime the Maine boundary | was In dispute, and the State of: Maine raised an objection and carried the protest to Washington.From there it was curried to London with the result that the project was blocked.Later on, when the projrct was revived, the Intercolonial Ratlway to connect the Maritime Provinces with Quebec and Western Canada was introduced, and although the shorter line from St.Stephen and the port | of St.Croix or St.Andrew was re-' cognized.the influences were against\u2019 it.However, now that the Quebec.Bridge had been biuit, its completion | bad changed the whole situation.The port of Quebec was the natural summer port for the Dominton | on the St.Lawrence.and St.Croix | the natural and most advantageous winter port for the trade of Canada on the Atlantie Const.He said that the harbor of St.Croix was nearer.to Liverpool than either the harbors of 8t.John or Halifaxpeople of St.Andrew's, N.R., undertook to build a line of railway from\u2019 there to Quebec, but the weixht of influence was against them and thelr project fell to the ground.However, ' they had not given up the idea, with their knowledges of the advantages to ncerite, especially now that the Quebee Bridge had been bulit, that caux- [rd it to be the objective and di (tributing point for all rallways of i Canada.In demonstration of the shortening of distances that the harbor of Bt.Croix offers, Mr.Maxwell jeatd from Quebec to St.Stephen the distance wax 250 miles by the pro- | jected new line, and from Montreal {to St.John.N.B.via Queher, 471 milen: Montreal to Rt.lohn by the UP.R.short line via Sherbrooks 1481 miles, 108 miles in favor of the projected line.From Quebec to Mt: John by the Intereolonial Rallwuy was 442 miles and from Quehre to, Halifax by the Intercolonial Rallway (468 miles, From Quebec ta Po land by the Grand Trunk Railway 217 milena: and from Winnipeg to 8e Stephen by the Transcontinental Radtway and Queher Bridge 1,500 by | the new proiocted lne: and by the CPR.from Winnipeg 1.802, a difference of 392 miles in saving of dis.(tance.{ Mr.Maxwell pointed out that by\u2019 ithe bul'ding of the Transcontinental, Railway to St, Malachle, 52 miles of the rond ta St.Stephen was already\u201d built, sn thir section te Quebec could the utilized.The round would continue through Canadian country to ithe Bt.John River, and then would \\proceed through territory in the, State Of Maine, before again enter- ine Canadian country to Kt.Strphenshu in this regard the C.P, RN.wax rrnnine throuæh 201 miles nf State vË Maine territory to reach St, John.Mt, Croix Harbor.In etucidation of the ndvantages of Rt.Croix harbor, Mr.Maxwell referred to the mirvey made hy Admiral W.F.Owen tor the Imperial Government in 1873, when the agitation for the purpose of building a line of railway from ML Andrew's to Quechee was in progrers, and placed himacll on\u2019 recor!

five was unfit because of being under weight, while in the adult army the proportion was about the same.This condition could have been prevented by proper attention during school life, so that these

poverty that suffer from malnutrition.Your boy or your girl may look well and still be under weight.The regular use of the scales is the only sure test.Other indications of malnutrition you may note
