THE MERCHANT PRINCE

AAAA N4A4\N14EA1N4 N1IVCEI
There was an old geezer and he
had lot of sense.
He started up in business on a
dollar and eighty cents.
The dollar for stock and the eighty
for an ad,
Bong hit him three lively dollars in
day, dad!
Well, he bought more goods and
little more space,
And he played that system with
smile ON his face.
The customers focked to his two.
by-four,
And soon he had to hustle in a
regular store.
Upon the square where the people
pass
He gobbled up corner that was
all plate glass.
He fixed up the windows with
the best he had,
And he told them all about it in
nal1-page ad.
He soon had 'em coming and he
never quit,
And he wouldn't cut down on
his ads one bit.
Well, he's kept things humming
IN the town ever since
And everybody calls him the mer-
chant prince. ~

Three Hundred More
Prisoners Are Landed

HOLYHEAD, Wales. May 4-Three
more prisoners from Ireland. OF
whom twenty were wounded were land
ed here today. The prisoners included
number of persons evident
~ Of somewhat higher station than
those landed two days ago.
Some OF them were intellectuals who
heretofore have been identified mainly
with the Irish literary movement.
Others were clerks. sportsmen, trades
men, or farmers. Most OF them APP
peared to be greatly exhausted.
Although all the prisoners wore mems
clothing, 1t was reported that several
were women. thirty or forty Of whom
have been made prisoners. Only about
8 per cent of the prisoners wore the
Sim Fein uniform. There are UNI
doubtediy many prisoners who are
truthful in saying they knew nothing
OF the impending revolt when they were
mobilized. Whether that Will In any
way mitigate their treatment by the
government Is not known.
A number OF the prisoners Indicated
their willingness to turn states eVl-
dence and II Is stated that some start

GUARDS TO PROTECT
CITY WATER SUPPLY
War Department Reticent About
Evidence Of Crank Plots on
Cabin John Bridge.

Tho war Department today placed the
strictcst censorship on news regarding
the Precautions taken to guard Cabin
John Bridge from crank attacks therat-
efiing the city's water supply.
The only admission officials would
make is that extra civilian guards have
been employed to patrol the bridge and
the mile miles OF conduit roal along
which the pipes supplying Washington
with w6ter are placed.
eccetary of War Baker said he had
nevcr heard that letters had been re-
celved threatening TO dynamite the
bridge. Col. c.. A. II. Flagler. engineer
officer In charge of the Washington
threatening letters. Colonel Fiagler
denied positively that holes had been
found at the four bases OF the bridge.
indicating that plans had been made to
dynamite the structure. An investiga-
ton. he said. showed that this story
was without foundation.
Brig. Gen, william c. Black, chief OF
engineers. refused to discuss the bridge
scare In any way. He said the engi-
neer's department had not and would
not discuss the matter.
Widespread interest WAS aroused In
the reported threats against Cabin
John Bridge because Of Its vulnerability
and the realization that any attack on
the bridge woulds wholly cut OF WASH
ington's only water supply. Such an
attack would not only cause incon-
venience to the people. but would re-
suit in the almost complete suspension
OF Governmental activity until the dam
age could be repaired. II is the realiza-
ton OF this. water department officials
declare, that prompted the extra pre-
cautions to guard the brindge anc con-
duits.
Efforts have been concentrated to-
ward protecting the bridge. Il Is under
the piping system from Great Falls at
which an attack might cause serious
damage and result In long delays in
restoring n cut or In the water supply.
At other points In the conduit system
repairs could be made In a short time.
Destruction of the bridge, however.
would raise n serious engineering prob
lem In repairing any damage done TO
the water system.

Aware of Difficulties.

Aware of Difficulties.
It had been said In the House, con-
tinued the former Secretary. that Ire
land was to be the bright spot In the
empire In the hour OF the country's dire
necessity, He hoped IL might even yet
still DO said to be So. He was well
aware of the difficulties of the situation
that there was much which could give
cause for great anxiety. He knew the
difficulties were great and the ice thin.
But he considered II to be his duty to
run great risks In order to maintain In
Ireland herself and In the face OF Eu-
WITHIN the boundaries Of her soil.
Mr.. Birrell said that when he viewed
the smoking ruins Of Dublin and the
ruins of his own ambitions. there was
one SAD hope In his heart. that this was
no Irish rebellion and that new bonds
of union might be forged. He hoped
that some measure of good might come
out OF this great evil.
Asquith's Reply.
The prime minister. In making note of
Mr.. Birrell's statement. said that. with
out prejudiclng the decision which might
ultimately be taken. he was sure the
House had heard Mr.. Birrell not with
out emotion and sympathy, and he as
sured Mr.. Birrell that he possessed In a
peculiar degree the affection OF all his
colleagues.
Mr.. Redmond said that the whole busi-
ness in Ireland had been to him a
misery and a heartbreak. He paid
warm tribute to Mr.. Bifrell. He felt
that he himself had incurred some of
the blame which MIR. Blrrell had laid
at his own door. The Nationalist lead
err had concurred in the view that the
danger OF an outbreak was not a real
one. and perhaps what he had said In
conversation might have influenced Mr..
Birrell.
While approving the vigorous auelling
of the rebellion, Mr.. Redmond begged
the government not to show undue
hardness to the great mass of unfortu-
nate dupes involved"
