ANTI-wILsON CHARGES


 The Irish controversy was precipi tated in the editorial charge of Joh] Devoy, editor of the Gaelic America, (New York). to the effect that Pres ident Wilson informed Great Britai, of the German movement to succor tn Irish rebellion.
 The editorial, in part, is reproduced
 The sinking of the German ship, loaded with arms and am mun1tion. off the Irish coast. was the direct result of information treacherously given to the<British government by member of the Washington administration. It was deadly blow aimed at the heart of Ireland. "
 Wilson's officials obtained the information by an act of lawIess- ness. a violation of international law and of American law. com mitted with the deliberate purpose of helping England. and it was promptly placed at the disposal of the English government. Fore warned by this most disgraceful and dishonorable act ever com mitted by an American President, the British fleet. which had been baffled and eluded by the arms laden German cruiser. was sent to the right spot. the cruiser was sunk and the Irish people deprived of the means of fighting for their own rights and liberties.
 This was America's official ex- pression of gratitude for the splen- did services of Irishmen in the revolution, the war of 1872, the civil war and the Spanish Amer ican war. But the American peo- pie had no part in the treachery."

There were dozen business blocks
under construction in Mirapolis. with
a proportional number OF dwellings
and suburban villas at various stages
in the race toward completion, when
it began to dawn upon the collective
consciousness OF a daily increasing
citizenry that something was missing.
Garner. the real estate plunger from
Kansas City, first gave the missing
quantity its name. The distant thun-
der OF the blasts heralding the ap-
proach of the railroad had ceased be-
tween two days.

strange mania for holding on, for
permanency, seemed to have become
epidemic. Many of the working men
were securing homes on the install
ment plan. A good few OF the villas
could boast parquetry floors and tiled
bathrooms. One coterie OF Chicagoans
decided to build six-storied Office
building. with a ground floor corner
for the Niquoia National bank with
modern conveniences and that the
chosen building material should be of
nothing less permanent than mono
lithic concrete.
