IRISH VIEWS DIFFER
NGERMANINVASION
John ID. Crimmins Says Those
Who'd Welcome TcutOns
Aren't Well Informed.
NJ AS EXAMPLE

Expressions OF hope that the lnva-
sion Of Ireland by the Germans will be
a means OF gaining freedom for Ireland
are being received in vastly different
ways by prominent men and women In
terested in and connected with irish
affairs in the United States. The con-
sensus OF opinion seems to he that Ire
land would receive a German army with
enthusiasm. but opposed to this view
is the attitude taken by John u. Grim
Minis. 40 East Sixty-elghth street. a
member OF the Friendly Sons of ST.
Patrick. Mr.. Crlmmlns has been n
leader OF the Irish movement in his
country for years.
In an interview at his country home
In stamford. Conn, yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Crimmins said the report that "A
German invasion would be welcomed In
ireland and encouraged by the Irish in
the United States was the talk or
people who are not fully acquainted with
conditions in ireland and the attitude W
the Irish people.
Mr.. Crimmins said: England Will
find IL to her best interests to conciliate
| Ireland, and when the war IL over the
Irish people will DO more likely to get
their freedam by the awakening or
| England than by the reception OF Ger
man invaders. 7 am not very pro-
English when I say this, for the atti-
tude of the thinking people of ireland

mond, the leader OF the home rule move

her freedom thar by welcoming an in

STATE STREET MAKES

According to positive statements of

the absolutely and correct advice to
fash Chicago at this time:

2. Don't believe prosperity stories

ness men and the working class with
will O. the wisp hopes.
3. Don't believe department store
ads when they say business is better
than ever and the biggest crowds ever
are rushing to buy on State street.
James Simpson of Marshall Field &
Co. and Albert Ellinger of the Boston
Store testified before board of review
that business is worse on State street
the last two years, so much worse
that their taxes ought to be lowered.
When D. F. Kelley, manager of Man
del Brothers testified the same way,
Asst States Atty Henry Berger ask
ed Kelley two little easy questions. To
each, Kelley replied, 81 won't answer
that" These were the questions:
what were the total net sales of
Mandel Brothers for the years 1913
and 1915? Is it not true that all State
street stores had larger net sales in
1913 and 1914 than in prior years?"

Then Berger wanted to know why
so many State street stores are pay
ing big money for improvements if
business is so bad. He pointed to an
nexes and re-bUildings by Fields,
Stevens, Boston Store, MandePs, A.
M. ROthschild's, M. L. Rothschild's.
Contracts for those improve
ments were all made before 1913"
said Kelley.
Chairman Webb shut off Berger
from further questions. He said the
board is seeking facts and not en-
couraging disputes.
|: Thos. AIcott and W. Fox, for Cook
County Real Estate board, protested
against lowering of assessments Of
State street stores. They said the
average increase of 8 per cent ought
to be raised instead of lowered.

Letter estate, and B. NJ. Winston, who
helped make the famous school land
assessment early this summer, and
Frank G. Hoyne, uncle of the states
attorney, are the appraisal board

Would Not Sell
Horses to Europe

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 2l.-lt's all
wrong-this selling OF horses and
mules to the warning European ma
tons.
It's economically wrong, morally
wrong and patriotically Wrong from
an American viewpoint.
DIR. Charles '. keans, state veter-
marian, thus sizes it up.
at is economically wrong, says
DR.. keans, because the enormous
shipments are fast Kidding not on y
California but the whole country OF
prize stock. The seller undoubtedly
gets a good price, but stop to think
what it will mean during the next
few years. 1t will bring about a great
dearth OF animals and the price will
go up by leaps and bounds. This
condition is assured by reason OF the
fact hat European buyers are now
buying all the breed mares they pos
sfoly can.
1T is morally wrong because these
dumb animals are sent TO sure des-
truction. The average life OF ii
horse or mule after reaching the bat
tie front is ten days.
1T is periodically wrong because il
our country should get into difficulty,
we would be left in the lurch when
it came to supplying horses and mules
Tor the army" :,
One OF the biggest shipments from
California since the wal started was
made this week when 500 extra large
mules were put on a train at Rose
vile. There are 1900 more mules at
