lEACtt COVENANT AFFECTS IRELAND * President Shows in His AnJlf 35 < swers to Questions by Labor Council NOT BOUND TO AID IN QUELLING REBELLION In Foreign Countries Nor Limited in Recognizing Freedom of Peoples. I On Board President Wilson's Spe-I rial Train.?Setting forth publicly for the first time his interpretation 01 the League of Nations covenant as it affects Ireland, President Wilson said in a statement.' that the League would -constitute a forum before which could , be brought all claims for self-determination which arc likely to affect the peace of the wbrld. "The covenant would not bind the United States to assist in putting down rebellion in any foreign country," he asserted, "nor would it limit the power of this country to recognize the independence of any people who seek to secure free dom." He said Ireland's case was not heard at Versailles because it did not come within the jurisdiction of the peace conference. Replies to Questions. The President's statement was in reply to a scries of questions sent to him by the San Francisco labor council. It is understood that within a few days he will reply to questions put by other labor bodies regarding Shan tung and the representation of the British dominions in the League assembly. The questions and answers follow: Under the covenant does the nation obligate itself to assist any member of the League in putting down a rebellion of its subjects or conquered peoples? Answer. It does not. 2. Under the Covenant, can this nation independently recognize a government whose people seek to achieve or have achieved, their independence fiom a member of the League? Answer: The independent action of the government of the United States in a matter of this kind is in no way limited or affected by the covenant of the League of Nations. Nations Concerned. 3. Under the covenant arc those subject nations or peoples only tha: are mentioned in the peace treaty entitled to the right of self-dterminaswer: The independent action of the r;ght to accord a similar privilege to other subject nations or peoples? Answer: It was not possible for the peace conference to act with regard to the self-determination of any ter ritories except those which had he. longed to "the defeated empires, but in the covenant of the League of Nations it has set up for the first time, in article 11 a forum to which all claims of self-determination whkh liVnli, ( /ticfm.K (]ia nnnpfi nf i lir rti c II i\ci V tv VIIOI.HI yj ^v.uv/\. vi v??v world or the good understanding between nations upon which the peace of the world depends can be brought. Case of Ireland. 4. Why was the case of Ireland nol heard at the peace conference? Wha is your position on the subject of sel determination for Ireland? Answer The case of Ireland was not heard a the peace conference because th peace conference had not jurisdictio over any question of that sort whic did not affect territories which be longed to the defeated empires. M position on the subject of self-detei mination for Ireland is expressed i article 11 of the covenant in which may say I was particularly interest ed, because it seemed to me neccssai for the peace conference had not ju isdiction over any question of th: sort which did not affect territory which belonged to the defeated en pi res. My position on the subject 1 self-determination for Ireland is c prossed in article 11 of the covena in which I may say I was particular interested, because it seemed to r necessary for the peace and freedc <">f the world that a forum should created, to which peoples could brii any matter which was likely to i feet the neace and freedom of t world. o ESTRAY NOTICE. n There has taken up at my pla one small shoat about April 1st, 19 Owner may obtain th.o same by a plying to the undersigned ar.d pa ing charges.

Helena, Mont.?In two addresses in Montana President Wilson asked that the peace treaty be ratified without dc lav so that the snirit of industrial un v - ? rest spreading from Russia may be quieted. Saying he had been told the West was revaded by "what is called radicalism," the president declared the only way to keep men from agitating against grievances was to remove the grievances. As long as "things are wrong," he said, he did not intend to ask that men stop agitating, begging only that they use orderly methods. He said radicalism meant "cutting up the roots" a process that would be unnecessary if "noxious growths" were removed. When the president was introduced by Gov. Sam Stewart at his night addross here the crowd stood up and cheered. Mr. Wilson said that the isssuo after all was whether the sacrifices of the war would he in vain. The task of those who fought was only half done, h.c declared, and if the treaty was no;, put into ciTcct "men like these will have to die again." The United States, said the president, did not go into this war willingly and the nation had tried to convince itself "that the European business was not our business." Rut presently, he continued, it became apparent that civilization in itself was at a stake. Make World Safe. "We fought Germany," he con tinucd, "that the world might be a fit place to live in. And the world will not be a fit place to live in as long as any great power can do what Germany did." GALWONHlie FOR FREIGHT GARS Cotton seed and ice have been classed as perishable by the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line Railroads, according to information transmitted to the South Carolina railroad commission by officials of the two railroads. This decision by the roads means that shipments of ice and cotton seed will be given preference in the distribution of cars during the present period of car shortage. Fank W. Shealy, chairman of the commission, says the Southern Railway will also give these two commodi<1 i ties preerential claims, although the Southern has not yet so notified the commission. In connection with the movement of cotton seed, which has been delayed some because of the scarcity of cars, the commission wrote Walker D. Mines, director general of the United States railroad administration, asking that more cars be alloted to the . Southeastern territory. In its letter . the commission claims that the pre. pendence of rolling stock had been transferred to the West for the move ment of grain. I The reclassification of green cottor f seed and ice was the result of a lettei .? written Setember 5 by the commissior 1 1 4-,. . to tne general supuriiinjiKiuum ^ I ailroads opiating in South Carolina 0 n which was voiced the complaint: n o! crushers and growers of their in j, ability to get cars placed for the movi ment of cotton seed. Relief was ask v < d by the commission, which likewise ok the position that ice was ai n absolute necessity paritcularly i 1 use of sickness, and should be give preferential movement. r_ Entertainment at Evergreen. es There will be .an Entertainment ?' 11- Evergreen School House, Friday eve of ing, Oct. 3rd, 1919, at 8 o'clock.

Some of them have already prone beyond their quota of members while others expect to reach their quotas within the present week. In some few counties the committees have not completed their canvass yet. State Manager B. F. McLeod in a statement issced Monday urged upon those committees the necessity of completing the canvass at once. "The association has ambitious plans," said Mr. McLeod. "but it will be unable to put them into effect until thorough organization is had. We want to arrange to take care of the distress cotton in every county immediately. To do thiit is necessary that our membership campaign be pushed to completion. "Quite a number of townships ?n the state have reported 100 per cent membership.;?that is to say every man in the township joined the association. A number of other townships reported 98 per cent, memberships. "The people seem to be awake to the necessity of organization. All we need now to put the campaign over is a good bunch of canvassers. The report comes from every section that everybody seems willing to join. "I am delighted to see the women taking such an interest in the campaign in some sections. They know what poverty means to them. It falls more heavily on them than on the men. They see in the organization of tnc iarmors, tne mercnants, tne business and professional man a change for the South to throw off the shackles of commercial slavery. Let me urge that the people of every county rally to the standard ot the South Carolina Cotton Association. Opportunity is knocking at our door? Will we turn a leaf over?
