Minister OF War Trade Denies
Any Objection to Visit by US.
Citizens for Charity to the Irish

taken up with the state department at
meeting Of the Executive committee Of the
fund will be called here to take further
action.
Messrs. Kelly and Smith wished to go
to Dublin to distribute $4,000 raised in
the United States for the relief of per-
sons who suffered through the recent
Irish revolt. Dispatches from London
yesterday said that they were not permit
ted to land from the steamship Philadel-
phia at Liverpool; but that they were
permitted to send the So, 900 ashore and
that 1t had been transmitted to Ireland.
Local officers Of the Irish relief fund
asserted they could see no just grounds
for the detention of their agents. Their
organization they said. was strictly non
political in spite Of the fact that many
of the members openly favored the cause
Of Irish independence.
Mr.. Kelly. said James K. MCGUIRE,
member Of the executive committee. was
considered especially valuable for the
work in Ireland. He and Mr.. Smith would
have gone earlier than they did but for
the fact that their plans were disarrang-
ed at the last moment. 1t was therefore
decided to send John A. Murphy. an in
surance man Of Buffalo and John Gill of
New York, to Ireland. Mr.. Murphy and
Mr.. Gill left a week before Mr.. Kelly
and Mr.. Smith and they carried $4,000
for distribution in Ireland

felt that Waterville should start off
with a Red Cross chapter with very
large membership. If conditions con-
tinue as they are in Mexico there is
liable to be need of their assistance
there and there is also work that they
can do right in Waterville and the
surrounding towns. so much so that it
will be certain to find plenty to do.
