GERMANS PROMISE
IRISH FRIENDSHIP
Assure Sir Roger Case.
ment They Will Never
PilIage Ireland.

Berlin (by wireless telegraph to Lon
DON. Nov. 22.-Sir Roger Easement, Of
Dublin, a leader Of the Irish Volun-
teers, was received yesterday at the
German Foreign Office here.
Sir Roger said that statements had
been published in Ireland that a VIC
tory for German arms IN the war would
result in great loss for the Irish
people, whose homes, churches and
lands would be at the mercy of the in
vading army, which would be actuated
only by motives Of pillage and con-
quest.
These statements, Sir Roger said,
coupled with recent speeches made by
John Redmond, had caused apprehen-
sion among the Irish as TO what might
be expected in the event of German
victory.
The Acting Secretary of the Foreign
Office, by order Of the Imperial Chan
cellOr, declared 20 Sir Roger that the
German government repudiated the evil
intentions attributed to it. Germany,
he said, would never invade Ireland
with view TO its conquest or the
OFti LiliOW Ol any lIl0H 4fdlAoldllhl III
stitutiOns, and should furtune ever
bring German troops TO the Irish
shores the troops would land, not as
an army of invaders, to pillage and de-
stroy, but as the forces Of nation in
spired by good will toward ireland and
her people, for whom Germany desired
national prosperity and freedom.
Sir Roger Easement is well known in
the United States. He visited this
country last summer and made speeches
in numerous cities in support Of Home
Rule for Ireland. He was a leader in
the movement started a year ago to or
ganize an Irish national volunteer force
to uphold the authority of the Crown
and government Of Ireland on the same
lines as the Ulster force which Sir Ed
ward Carson organized
Sir Roger was at Philadelphia in
July when four Irishmen were killed
and several were wounded near Dub
lin in the riot following the seizure by
the government of arms intended for
the volunteers. He characterized the
governments action as "lawless vio-
lence."
Sir Roger also is we'll known for his
investigation in 1912 into the Puto-
mayo rubber district atrocities. He
was consul general at Rio de Janeiro
at the time.

after the aeroplanes were sighted over

A flotilla of guns at Constance,

severe wounds TO the head and hands.
Meanwhile the other raiders had risen
10 800 feet and escaped. They flew
westward over the same course as that
by which they had come.
All military stations near the from
tier had been warned Of their presence,
and they were saluted by machine guns
at various points. They again passed
near Basle in the middle Of the after
noon. and later they landed safely in
France. somewhere in the neighborhood
Of Belfort.
It is not known whether all the craft
were British or whether some were
French, but the whole affair was a
magnificent piece Of daring on the part
of the airmen.

Reports Terrific Slaughter.

Thursday, the 10th, also was un-
eventful. Our trench mortars were
used for the first time, with good re-
suits. The successful resistance we
have up 20 the present made 20 all the
efforts of the enemy has had a very
encouraging effect, IN spite of the ex,
hausting nature of the operations in
the last month. Our men show great
enterprise in making local counter at
tacks, in cutting off the enemy's pa
trolls and in similar affairs of out
posts.
Around Ypres we continually are
finding fresh evidence of the slaughter
inflicted on the enemy. On the 18th
one of our battalions while advancing
discovered a German trench manned
by seventeen corpses, while there were
forty-nine more in a house close by.
On the next day a patrol discovered
sixty dead in front of one trench and
fifty more opposite another. All the
farms and cottages to our front are
charnel houses.
"The significance Of such small
numbers lies only in the fact that they
represent the killed in a very small
area.
According 60 prisoners, the German
attempt 10 take Ypres proved costly.
One stated that there were only fifteen
survivors out Of his platoon, which
went into action fifty strong Another
reported that of $50 men who advanced
with him only nineteen returned. It
Is believed that one Bavarian regiment.

four days from the 10th TO the lVtn
have been unusually uneventful.

Ypres Position Strong on November 20.

Regarding the exact situation az
Yprcs, since certain misstatements TO
the effect that the Germans had pene-
trated the town and had been driven
out again have apparently been circu-
lated, il is well to state that Ypres is In
the hands of the Allies, and that save
for prisoners of war or possible spies
no Germans have succeeded in enter
ing the town or even getting near IT.
The allied position there is stronger
than it ever has been.
"On Monday, November 10, our troops
on the left passed the most peaceful
day they had experienced during the
last month. There was little shelling
and no infantry attacks. A prisoner
asserted that il had been the intention
of the Germans to assault this quarter
on the 18th, but the damage inflicted
by our artillery on the previous day
had been so heavy that it had been de-
cided to postpone the operation until
reinforcements should arrive.
"There is no doubt that on the l9tn,
in massing preparatory 20 attack, the
Germans had committed certain faults,
and our guns and maXims we're given
good opportunity, which they at once
seized, with devastating results 70 thc
rear battalions.
"The fighting 10 the south Of Ypres
continued without marked advantage
TO either side, hut the French every
where held their ground. On the CEN
| ire all was quiet. On our right the
enemy continued 20 show some activ-
ity, pushing forward the saps and
/ throwing bombs from their trenches
and mortars. One Of their sapheads
was succe cessfully attacked during the
night and an earth-boring tool was
captured.
Bayonets Drive Germans Out.
"On Tuesday on our left the Ger
mans made another effort in the di-
/ rection Of Ypres. After shelling our
/ positions to the east and 10 the south
/ east they made three attacks About !
/ o'clock p. IN. their infantry advanced
| in strength against our section on this
/ line and took possession OF some
| trenches, out Of which our troops had
| been driven by she'll fire. When the
Germans endeavored 70 press on our
/ infantry made a brilliant counter at
tack with bayonets and drove them out
/ OF the trenches and for some five hun
I dred yards beyond.
"A second attempt, made further to
the southwest, was pressed within five
yards of our line before it was broken
by our rife fire. On this occasion the
Germans advanced obliquely across our
front and suffered very severely from
our rife and gun fire.
THE number Of killed left in front
Of length Of some five hundred yards
of our front is estimated at about
twelve hundred. The assault was made
by regular troops. though not by the
Guard.
about o'clock p. m. they massed
for the third assault. but. being sub
jected 10 hot shell fire, they gave up
the attempt On the whole, it was a
most successful day for our arms.
"Wednesday, the 18th. was another
quiet day. Nothing occurred except the
shelling of our right. The enemy con-
tented himself with sapping, it is
stated. Owing to the high tide, the in
undation was extending satisfactorily
to the southeast of Dixmude.

She is the superior in every way

have long held the place of honor

had reams and reams of poetry
written about them.
But the hen, that most impor-
tant of all feathered creatures, who
writes poetry about her? Who
even takes the trouble TO know
anything about her early history in
America? Who owned the first
hen; when and where did she land
upon our shores?
Why not make amends for our
long years of neglect by making
her the center of the feast on the
Fourth of July? Hereafter let it
