as If the Western Union Telegraph Com

strike on its hands. when several mes
sengers were brought here from Balti-
more to help out with the great rush of
business resulting from the great influx

to strike, but were dissuaded from doing
so when some of the officials of the com
pany showed them that all the messen-
gers were working under the same con-
ditions and that there was no discrimi-
nation.

This was the second visit of the com
mercial attache to Spain in recent
months, the first being at the personal
request of King Alfonso. He had sew
eral lengthy conferences with the king,
who manifested the greatest interest,"
and discussed with him some Ideas or

possibility of establishing branch

DIR. Veditz thoroughly investigated
all phases of commercial activity. the
market for American goods in SPAN

crease in the business between the
United States and Spain. The methods
by which the Germans have captured
much of the Spanish trade also were
under consideration.
Dr. Vediaz during his stay IN Spain
observed an increased feeling OF cor

Raid With Definite Purpose.

THE raid was not undertaken with
wanton risk. but with a definite pur-
pose. Possibly it was a reprisal for the
British bombardment of Zeebruege or a
reconnaissance to test the strength and
disposition of the British squadrons.
More likely it was part of larc-
er, formidable undertaking designed TO
cover operations of a filibustering char
acter connected with the trouble in Ire
land. There is no security against such
exploits. but the stay must be brief,
owing to the urgent necessity of vast

BRITISH GOVERNMENT BLAMED
FOR THE REVOLT IN IRELAND

an editorial which is extremely signifi-
cant at this moment, but which. for OBJ
Nous reasons, cannot be dilated upon.
Before Germany took the trouble to
send arms to Ireland" says the news
E, paper, she must have been satisfied of
the existence of agents in that country
who were prepared to receive and use
| them in her interests. That is to say
that there must have been active COM
munication between Irish traitors and
their confederates in Berlin despite all
existing precautions of censorship and
supervision. When we find force
devoid OF arms undergoing military train
ing in Ireland and cargo of arms from
our enemies seeking a landing place in
that country 1t becomes highly desira BILE
that the connection, if any. between these
two striking phenomena should be more
fully explained"
Repudiated by Nationalist.
AN act of folly by political lunatics
old disgruntled cranks and young
Sim Feiners" is the orthodox view of
the Irish nationalists on the uprising
in Ireland as expressed by Matthew
Heating, member of parliament from
South Kilkenny. Mr.. Heating has been
active in the nationalist group for six
years.
Inc utter lack or real political sig
nificance in what has just taken place
in Dublin can be understood when /
explain that those concerned could not
possibly represent more than / per
cent of the population of the country"
said Mr.. Heating. ITO illustrate, not
more than twenty-five of this brand of
cranks can be found in my constitu-
ency of 1000. Many of them originally
joined the Irish volunteer movement
when Sir Edward Carson organized
Ulster.
Some time after we started the Irish
volunteer movement to offset the u
ster organization, there arose di
vision between the Irish nationalist
volunteers. those following Redmond
and those following the old revolu
tionary movement. The latter, COM
posed rs stated. adopted the name of
Irish Volunteers and continued to talk
nonsense and drill after the beginning
of the war.
1T is quite evident that these kept
in touch with Sir Roger Easement and
arranged an onslaught to coincide with
the Inflated gun running exploit of
Thursday"

Counsel for organizations seeking an

ducing intermediate rates proportion

Unexpected Witnesses.
Appearance yesterday of unexpected
witnesses in the intermountain rate case
hearing before the interstate commerce
commission tended to upset somewhat the
tentative program. All the witnesses
sided with the railroads in opposing
changes in rates.
The compliments closed their case yes
terday. when the intervening parties ap-
peared. The first of these. n. l.. Moon,
representing steel manufacturers in east
ern Pennsylvania. asked that the rate of
90 cents on steel from Pittsburgh to the
coast be continued. E. l. Bates. general

Clements Horst of San Francisco. c. H.
kimmck of Charleston, S. c.: w. d.
Timmes of New York, Martin Van Per-
syn of Chicago and r. L. Heron of Den
yer also opposed any proposed change in
the rate.
Practically all of them contended that
the present lack of water competition by
way of the Panama canal was due to alb
normal trade conditions as a result of the
war and thtat the disturbance was only
temporary. Rates based on temporary
conditions, they said, would be unwise.
