German reply is not mere answer
of German diplomats. 1t may be con-
sidered to represent opinion of whole
German people regarding her sub
marine policy. During the time it
was under consideration by the for
eign office and marine several prom
inent German editors, bankers and
business men were called in and
asked to express their views.
The final draft, as completed last
night, meets optimistic forecasts.
Germany declared willing to safe
guard lives of neUtrals crossing ocean
even aboard belligerent ships, if such
vessels do not carry ammunition and
do not misuse the American flag.
Germany will not give up her sub
marine policy. But she is willing to
modify her methods to that extent.

of Frederick the Great and what will

Frederick in his numerous and devas-
tating wars.
Read the history Of Continental
Europe and Great Britain; read histories

historians. and you will find that 1t has
been the policy of Great Britain through
the centuries what the British were
pleased to call the balance of power In
Europe.

that might be formed against her. And

or killed in the process, so runs the
story. the valet was to be spirited to
America by the British government to
escape punishment.
According to Easement the valet told
Easement Of the first overtures that had
been made to him and together they
laid plans whereby the valet was to pre-
tend to agree to act in the plot. In this
manner he secured for Easement what
Easement claims to be indisputable proof
that the most powerful nation in the
world has descended to medieval methods
to bribery. kidnapping and even assas-
sination-to rid itself of political
enemy. In the meantime he has re-
mained In Germany under the special
protection Of the kaiser.
How does it happen. most people have
asked, that the British government
should be so ANXIOUS to capture Case
ment that 1t deliberately commissions
one Of its representatives to offer a re-
ward of 5000 pounds sterling for his
apprehension?

ture as the slave states were desirous Of
laying their hands on John Brown after
he had escaped from Harpers Ferry.
Great Britain could afford to pay any
price to have in safe keeping the man
who advocates an idea that might prove
her undoing as mistress of the seas.
Easement is particularly dangerous in
England's eyes because his agitation is
of such a sort that he may be able to
make the question Of the freedom Of Ire
land something more than a local affair
and ultimately enlist the sympathy and
perhaps the support OF the peace and
liberty lovers of the entire world ire

oppressed countrymen made me more
sympathetic toward the oppressed in

dia at the time of the Smith-O'B ris-
ing in Ireland in 1S48, but resigned his
commission fearing that his regiment
might be ordered back to Ireland to
subdue by force his fellow countrymen.
Later Captain Easement went to see
Kossuth, who had been driven out Of
Hungary and was a fugitive in Turkey.
He saw Kossuth at Wildin. but found
that II was too late to serve Hungary
Both the Austrian and Hungarian gov
ernments were trying to force the sultan
to give up Kossuth. The patriot was
very anxious to get a letter to Lord
Palmerston, who was the British prime
minister. Easement took the letter and.

prepared this interesting list:

Smith O'Brien. who was transported

John Mitchell, grandfather of the
mayor Of New York. who was trans
ported to Tasmania, was rescued by
Irish-Americans and brought to the
United States. He was tried for the ex-
preston Of his opinions. not for any
overt act.
Then there were also:
Thomas Davis. the founder of the
Young Ireland movement.
Isaac Butt. the father of Home Rule
for Ireland, and Charles Stewart Parnell,
the man who made it seem possible.

all loved by their Catholic countrymen,"
says Sir Roger.
ireland would be as much a unit for
home rule today as are Canada and
Australia were not religious dissensions
for the purpose of preventing Irishmen
from taking united action"
AS for the attempt to kidnap Sir
Roger in Norway, every one who has
made careful examination of the evil
dence offered to support the charge,
says there can be no question that the
English government both planned the
plot and did what 1t could to carry 1t
into execution. Handwriting experts in
Germany have asserted that the writing
on the incriminating documents which
Sir Roger has in his possession concern
Ing the plans of the KIDNAPPING is the
same as that which can be found in Eng
lish diplomatic documents on file In the
German foreign Office.
Easement intends to press the charges
to the very limit. He is to insist that
the Norwegian government push its own
examination as far as possible. He also
intends to push libel suit against at
least one American newspaper that is
alleged to have circulated defamatory
charges against him SO that ultimately
the evidence will all come out in court
and under oath.

Office that brought about the whole cam

the Congo.
easement carefully and patiently in
vestigated all charges and judicially re-
ported them. When through his efforts
it was made known that the officers Of
the Belgian army had introduced cutting
on Of hands, and in a comparatively
short period said they had cut of only
1900. and when 1t was shown in his
report that Captain Francke's troops had
been ordered to mutilate their male vic
tins in unspeakable manner Great
Britain was aroused. The result is part
Of the worlds history.
Easement was publicly thanked in the
House Of Lords by Lord Fitz-Maurice.
In Morel's work on the Congo atrocities
Easement is given credit in these words
Of the preface:
Meanwhile Mr.. Roger Easement, per-
manent British consul in the Congo
State, an Official of wide African expert
ence. had been conducting a personal in
vestigation in the Upper Congo. The
appalling account Of his experiences Is
now before the world. and has been fol-
lowed by further debate In Parliament.
In the course Of which absolute unanimi-
ty prevailed as to the essentially Of
putting an end to the present horrors.
1T remains to be said that Mr.. Case
ment whose reputation already stood
high, performed the difficult and un-
traordinary ability. and that his report
might have been written by machine
painfully eloquent machine-so judi
cious and free from bias or prejudice

In another place Easement is given
this further praise:

soon become the target for profuse Bel
gian and Continental abuse. and that Is

The abuse which 1t was predicted
would descend upon Easement after the
publication Of his report was shortly
forthcoming in overnowing measure But
the action Of the British government put
the Official seal Of approval on Case
ment's work and sustained him all along
the line.
For another exposition Of atrocities
which shortly followed Easement was
knighted. He was sent secretly to the
Putumayo district in South America in
1910 and exposed completely the out
RACES inflicted upon the Indians by q
British rubber company.
In connection with his work here
Easement saw President Taft and SO in
terested him and his administration IN
the situation that they set to work and
secured immensely improved conditions
for the rubber workers on the Amazon.
When the Putumayo atrocities had
been put to an end Easement resigned.
The entire amount of the pension which
he had drawn until 1914, Sir Roger used
to further the cause of free Ireland.
He was one Of the founders Of the Irish
volunteer movement and Is still a MEM
ber Of the governing board.
The volunteers were established by
Easement and other idealists who had
not before had a place In Irish public
life. The organizers newer ceased to
remind recruits that the Irish National
volunteer force sought no quarrel with
any section Of Irishmen. The fine tenn
per Of the movement quickly produced
an admirable result. Unionists and Ma
tonalists began for the first time in
history to respect and trust each other.
Irish affairs were lifted into q much
better atmosphere.
It has always pleased Easement to call
attention to the fact that many of the
greatest Of the Irish revolutionary

almost impossible and yet Easement as
serts that he has documentary evidence
to support every allegation he makes.
Easement is a man who has lived an
honorable life and has had many re-
wards, including title, from the Eng
lish government. With everyone who
knows him his word is as good as a gold
bond. He was the man who exposed the
Belgian atrocities In the Congo and
brought to the attention Of the world

company maltreated Indian rubber gath
