"At no moment in the battle of
Verdun have they dared to bring
thither any unit from before the

German front have been stripped Of
all superfluous strength and the
force in Russia is similarly crippled

reserving their ACTUAL defense for the
trial later.
The nature Of Easements defense
is still mystery. Counsel for Bailey
will attempt to show that the former
Irish soldier knew nothing of the
character Of the undertaking upon
which he embarked on a German U
boat and speedily informed British
authorities of the plan to foment
rebellion when he landed on the Irish
coast.

he has already impoverished himself
to pay for counsel to defend the

carry the case to the highest courts

money already" the elder Orpet said.

One complicating phase, is the re-

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, May IL
Howard J. Clark, temporary chair
man, of the republican state conven-
tion, here today took "American1sm"
as the keynote of his address and
boosted Senator A B. Cummins as
the most available, best fitted and
typical candidate for the republican
nomination for the presidency. Thous-
ands of visitors and delegates are
here today. part of them to give the
Cummins boom an official send-off,
the rest to attend the circus.
Clark spoke of Cummins' seven
year fight for the presidential pref
erence primary in Iowa and said it
was fitting that he should be the
man to lead the movement for popu-
lar self government at this time.
Clark said the great central west has
taken an active part in developing
the principles of repubhcanism in the
past and will continue to uphold the
ideals Of the people.
The foreign policy of the Wilson
administration was severely criticiz-
ed. especially in regard to Mexico.
Clark said:
"One of the fundamental principles
of government and especially of
democracy. is that it should not in
terfere with the internal affairs Of
another nation. With this in mind,
what answer can the present admin
istration give to its conduct in Mex
ican affairs? If it be conceded that
Mexico has a government at all, then
the policy Of the administration is
the worst violation of the principles
announced known in history. On the
other hand, if no government existed
at all in Mexico. our conduct is
shameful and should have no defense
for we have permitted our own peo-
