Mr.. Davitt describes Chief Justice

In reality an Englshman, who Is anx-

ance."
He expresses hatred of England, and
warns the Germans against making a
nation answerable for the blameworthy
attitude of one or two persons"
"All the trouble" says MIR. Davitt, rs
due to English intrgues You may rely
upon the United States settling matters

this morning:
I'VE are informed that during the His

the United States the cession OF coallng

the way the public would regard the re-
quest.

newing her request for a coaling station
