IRISH INDEPENDENCE

editor OF the Irish Citizen. OF Dublin,

dressed a letter to President Wilson
urging the United States TO extend
to Ireland the thoughtful PARTISAN
ship of which the President spoke in
his Manhattan Club speech. He says
in part
Ireland. though the war wave has
not touched its shoes, has viewpoint
of its own. and as a historically dis
tinct nation, is entitled, as much as
Belgium or Serbia. Finland or Poland,
to demand separate recognition at tho
peace conference of the nations.
II do not ask that the United States
should declare deliberately for Irish
independence. still less that you
should go TO war for 1t. though others
have not hesitated to urge you to go
to war for Belgian independence But
il Ireland demands the right of a
plebiscite OF its men and women on
its governnent--a plebiscite under
probable circumstances--to determine
whether Ireland Is content with its
present state, or would prefer to be
independent free of masters altogeth-
err, will the United States support
that claim and insist that England,

News of the presence of a mum Der
OF German submarines in the Mediter-
ranean bears out information received
from a private source recently. 1t
was to the effect that Germany had
decided to send most OF her subma-
rines to the Mediterranean having
virtually abandoned her campaign in
British waters in consequence OF the
engagements she had entered into
with the United States.
This disclosure IL said to have been
made In the form OF an announcement
by tho German minister at Bucharest,
Rumania.
In England however. the suggestion
has been advanced that Germany's
abandonment of her submarine cam
paign in English waters was due to
the effective measures adopted by the
British and the large number of Ger
man submarines reported to have
been destroyed. Activities of subma-
rines In the Mediterranean. according
to this theory. are designed to divert
attention from the ending of the cam
paign near the British Isles as well as
to impress the Balkan States,

London. Nov. 6.--4The reason for

quith, was given this evening In an
official statement. which explained
that Lord Kitchener had gone to the
eastern theater of war-in other
words, to the BaIkans--on "A short
visit
The official statement said
Earl Kitchener, at the request OF
his colleagues. left England for a short
visit TO the eastern theater OF war"
AT the same time the official press
bureau repeated its earlier announce
ment that Lord Kitchener has not re-
signed and has no intention of Of
fering his resignation.
Globe Confiscated,
The official announcement that
Lord Kitchener had gone to the Bal
kans was closely followed by the con-
fscation Of both yesterdays and to-
days editions OF the Globe, the oldest
afternoon newspaper in London. The
reason for this action on the part OF
the authorities. it is generally be-
iieved, was the publication by the
Globe of bitter attacks on Lord Hal
dane.
The publishing plant and Offices OF
the Globe are located In the Strand.
The entrance OF the officers into the
building caused something OF a sensa-
ton in the newspaper world OF Fleet
Street and the Strand. Although II
has several times been feared that the

War, with a desire TO succeed to the

It,
There Is an unpleasant obscurity
about the whole businees'' said the
Globe. Lord Haldane is credited with
the conviction that he could fiji the
war Office post adequately, but we
most sincerely trust the premier will
not commit such an irremediable err
ror as to give 1t TO him, which would
instantly teopardize the life OF the
