versaI condemnation has followed the
Tllfflarly conduct Of q small gang Of
lioodIums who broke up the peace
meeting at Carnegie Hal. New York,
on the evening OF Detenber y. The
meeting was arranged IN the Interest
TOT the AEbitratton Treaties with
France and Great Britain. now pend
ing IN the Senate. Many prominent
speakers had been Invited to deliver
addresses. and. In the midst OF the
meeting. before several speakers had
been heard, n very small number OF
persons precipitated a scene OF disoF-
ders and .anaIly compelled the meet5
Ing to adjourn. Some of the COM
ments OF this AFFAIR follow:
Mr.. John d. Crimmins, the fore
most irish Catholic layman In ;New
York. says I'm my opinion the Clan
na4Gaei was behind the whole busI-
ness. The men who raised the dis
turbance hooted the name Of John
Redmond and the mention OF Home
RnIe- That showed pretty concIu-
sively what they were.
They did not seem to know that
the purpose for which the meeting
was called had received the endorse
ment of Cardinal Logue, the Catholic
Primate of Ireland. In the last issue
of Rome. the Official organ OF the
church, the move to bring about closer
relations between countries by means
OF arbitration treaties was heartily
recommended in a statement signed,
among other cardinals, by Cardinal
Logue. This shows what the Roman
Catholic Church thinks of arbitration
between Great Britain and America.
In fact, the whole affair last night was
nothing but dastardly exhibition of
organized rumianism."
Catholics for Arbitration.
Frederic r. Coudert, speaking par
tIcuIarly of the Irish opposition to the
treaties as shown in the dforder
which occurred. said: The Irish
party in Parliament has welcomed
these treatieSe ireland could have
nothing to gain by a war Jbetvseer
america and Great Britain. which II
such n calamity should occur. would
Involve the shedding OF Irish blood on
hot hsides. Moreover, the large ma
3ority or the Irish people belong to the
Roman Catholic Church. whose veneer
able head. his Holiness, Pope Plus X
has very recently written and pub
lished a letter strongly advocating the
present efforts in favor of peace and
general arbitration. These efforts
have been seconded by Tembers OF
the hieEarchY who have commended
them ih7the-b highest manner represen-
tative of Christian principles and as
pirations."
Deplored by Germans.
Herman RIdder. editor OF the New
York Staats-zeitunE. and n well known
leader among Germans in America,
said: II think am in a position 70
pnderstand the Sentiment OF the Ger
mans in New York, and don't believe
that this outbrealo at the Carnegie
Han meeting represents German sem
tIment.'.s
Former Mayor Schlereu. of Brook
Ign. another man prominent in Ger.
man AFFAIRS, said: ''I am surprised at
the conduct OF those who tried to dis
rupt the Carnegie Hall meeting. I do
not think 1t represents true German
sentiment in this city. I think Ger
mans all over the country will be sur
prised and chagrined at the way in
which, their countrymen or those rep
resenttng themselves TO be their coun-
trymen, acted at this peace meeting

Carefully Worked Up"
New York Evening Post: The
demonstration was go carefully worked
up in advance. and the rioters so well
drilled that no one can represent 1t as
spontaneous protest. But even II 1t
were. the fact remains that it IS pro-
test based on complete misunder-

Americans are concerned, and upon an
