Viscount Middleton Tells of
How He Tried to Con-
vince Birrell
WHO RIDICULED
PLOT SUSPICION
Birrell Declared He Was
More Afraid Of Isolated
Acts of Violence

London, May 23.--At the continuation
yesterday of the royal commissions in
quiry into the Irish revolt, Viscount Mid
dleton described the action which he said
he had taken to bring the activities OF
the Sim Fem to the attention of the
Irish authorities before the outbreak.
Viscount Middleton stated that he had
conferred with Augustine Birrell, then
chief secretary for Ireland, and had
strongly urged that the national volun-
teers be disarmed. Mr.. Birrell had said
in effect, declared the witness, that the
movement was one to be laughed at, not
one to be taken seriously,
On February 26 Mr.. Birrell, continued
the witness, had written him letter in
which the following occurred:
ITO proclaim the Irish volunteers an
illegal body and put them down by force
would, in my opinion, be reckless, fool
ish act, and promote disloyalty to
prodigious extent. / am more alarmed
at the possibility of bombs and isolated
acts of violence than OF concerted ac-
ton"

Washington, d. c., May 23.--Reiection
of Louis ID. Brandeis for the supreme
court would be "a grave misfortune for

Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus of
Harvard, says in letter to the Senate
judiciary committee, made public yes
terday. His stand is directly opposed to
that of Harvard's present president, A.
Lawrence Lowell.
"Brandeis is possessed by nature of
keen intelligence, quick and generous
sympathies, remarkable capacity for
labor and a character in which gentle
ness, courage and joy in combat are
intimately blended" said Eliot.
HE has sometimes advocated meas

Mr.. Eliot's letter, written at Cam

I to. Arrive So Soon
BAGDAD ADVANCE
NOT YET READY
The Bulk of Russian Troops
Probably Have Not Eff
fected Junction

London, May 23.-For the first time
since the beginning of the war Russian
and English land forces are now fighting
side by side--in the Garden of Eden re-
gion of Mesopotamia.
News of the bold dash of the Russian
cavalry squadron into the British camp
east of kut-el-Amara caused more as
constituent in London than the reports
of the arrival of the first Russian con
tingents in France. Advance rumors Of
the coming of the Russians to Marseilles
had reached here, but Sunday nights
bulletin from the war Office was the first
intimation that any Slav force was with
in $50 miles of the British forces.
Military critics yesterday warned the
public against excessive optimism as the
result of Gen. Lakes brief announcement.
They pointed out it is highly improbable
that the main body of Russians can eff
feet junction with the British for an
advance on Bagdad for several weeks
and that in all probability the Slavs viii
advance on Bagdad British near Kut FL
Amara.
The military correspondent of the
Daily News declared that the Russian
cavalrymen probably crossed the Persian
Mesopotamian frontier from the region
OF kermanshah. He argued that the
Turks probably had shortened their lines
because of the Russian threat against
their Bagdad line of communication and
that the cars troopers made their way
to the British lines with little resistance.
when General Bartoff RUSSIAN com
manderl or General Lake reaches Bagdad,
the long drawn out front over which the
grand dukes armies are operating win
be contracted and the Russian forces can
be drawn in toward the centre to force
the Turks to fight pitched battle on
the upper Tigris or upper Euphrates,"
said the News.
The only previous instance in which
Russian and English forces have Joined
hands in this war occurred near Salo-
Mkt a few months ago. A landing party
from the Russian cruiser Askold coop
Grated with British, French and Italian
marines in occupying a Greek fort.

Spices Are Good for Yo,

TT HERE are numerous kinds of
food which we would not
relish at all unless they con-
tanned some kind of spice. But
spices do more than merely make
our iood more appealing. They
have a distinct medicinal value.
This value lies in their richness
in aromatic substances and essen
tiai oils. Strictly speaking, they
are essential elements in the diet
Spices have been the subject of
classic research, as, for example,
in the clever and important investi-
cation which Professor Pawlow I'm.
dertook as to the psychic influences
of food and as to the value of zest
to nutrition.
Spices we're shown to arouse an.

OF the gastric Juice. and the role
they play therefore, in dietetics IS a
very important one. The medicinal
action OF some OF them Is further
of value.

year, and this year to an even greater
degree, has the United States Rubber
company established new worlds manu-

ITO give the public an adequate idea
of the bast scope of our business, we have
reduced some of the facts concerning it to,

For example, he continued, lit is in
teresting to know that If all the fabric.
used by the United States Rubber COM
pany in a year were made into foot
wide band, that band would be 1900
miles long.
Similarly, last year our company pro-
duced 100000 pounds of manufactured
rubber goods that would fill freight

LAS a matter of fact the United States
Rubber company is the largest shipper of
first-class freight in the country.
