ability of the Germans TO keep faith
in their turn with free Ireland, had
always gathered a sense of Sir Roger )
almost fantastic sincerity. He was an
idealist. and commanded in those days
the respect of Yeats, Hone, Russell and
the rest.
But in Berlin. alone, grave, he took
on the tragic outlines of another Man
without IA Country. His trust in Ger
many became great as his faith in Ire
land had been, and he asked nothing

should become free and peace between

Sir Roger Saw Ireland's
Opportunity in Great War

Sir Roger Easement Is the first lrish-
man since the beginning of the war
seized by the British as a traitor In
like Sir Edward Carson and other Ul-
ster leaders, who pledged their loyalty
10 Great Britain in the face of for
eign foe. he considered that the con-
fict was Irelands great opportunity.
When the Germans invaded Belgium
Sir Roger was in the United States
working in behalf of the Irish National
Volunteers. Ireland at tn etime was
on the verge of civil war, owing TO the
refusal Of the Protestant counties to
have anything TO do with the Home
Rule scheme proposed by John Red
mond. 1t was in Berlin that Easement
saw the hope of Irish freedom.
AS quickly as possible Easement left
America for Germany, sailing by way
of Scandinavia. He was welcomed in
Berlin with a great ovation as the
emissary of an oppressed people. He
was invited 70 the Foreign Office and
in the name Of the Kaiser was assured
that if German troops ever landed in
Ireland they could come as "liberators,"
not as Invaders
Sir Roger was then made the head Of
the Irish propagandist work centred
in Berlin. The Irish Nationalists, how
ever, following John Redmond's advice,
repudiated him and remained unshaken
in the loyalty.
Following the failure of several gun
running attempts to the Irish coast, the
Germans turned their attention to the
Irish in the prison camps.
Meetings of the prisoners we're or
ganized and Sir Roger was sent TO ad-
dress them. In June reports came to this
country that at one of these meetings
Easement was set upon by the prison
ers when they learned his identity, and
his life was in peril. when he was res
cued by the Prussian guards.
Following these incidents, the Brit
ish government cut off the pension
Easement had enjoyed from his twenty
five years in the consular and diplo-
matte service. A reward Of S25,O0O
was offered by the British Minister to
Norway for his capture. Easement also
charged that plots had been made to
kill him.

The purchase Of the drug in an order
valued at $1,000 was made from a bro
kerage firm which has done a large
business with the Allies since the be-
ginning of the war. The members of
the firm denied all knowledge of the
spurious nature of the drug. They
placed the blame upon the supplying
agents, who, in turn, passed it along to
the manufacturers. The shipment has
