Cured. the witness said. he again
warned Baron Wimborne, Lord Lieu
tenant Of Ireland. Of the results that
would follow if no action were taken.
Powerless. Wimborne Declares.
Baron Wimborne was then called. He
said that since the Chief Secretary for
ireland had dislodged the Lord Lieu
tenant in the Cabinet, the Lord Lieu
tenants powers had been entirely
usurped by the Chief Secretary and the
Under Secretary. He had no conhrma-
tion Of reports other than that when
might reach him from Castle sources
and no executive machinery with when
he could take action independent OF MS
colleagues.
Ever since the departure Of the irish
division for the front at the end OF
last summer. he said, the Irish garrison
had been inadequate. and in March Of
this year he urged on General French
the desirabiity of sending division
Of troops to Ireland. He advanced the
internal situation as the reason why
more troops were needed
Early this year the police reports
showed that the Sim Fem movement
was growing, and Lord Wimborne SAID
he then suggested deportation or IN
ternment as "a remedy.
IL was pointed out, added Lord VIM
borne. that association with the enemy
must first be proved. Subsequently IT
was thought that this was proved. and
he urged the simultaneous arrest Of
between sixty and one hundred leaders
The rebellion broke out while this was
being considered and he wrote TO Mr..
Birrell:
"The worst has happened just when
we thought il had been averted. Had
we acted with decision last night and
arrested the leaders it would have been
aveYted'
Lord Wimborne caused stir when
he stated that the admiral at Queens
town had received information that Sir
Roger Easement had departed from
Germany and that his ship, accom-
PANIED by two submarines, might be
expected off the Irish coast about
Eater Sunday. That information, he
said. had not been communicated to the
Irish government.

Counts on Record OF
Patience with Germany
and Mexico.
MEDIATION MOVE
EXPECTED TO AID
Bryan Urging Peace Policy for
Campaign, but Germany
May Upset Plans.


Washington, May %. -Indications or.
increasing that President Wilson will
make his appeal for reelection chiefly
as a pacifst. The Presidents incina-
tions are in that direction, and he is
supported by Mr.. Bryan, who argues
that such a stand would attract the
pacifst element in the Republican
party At the same time it is realized
at the White House that everything de-
ponds on Germany, and that if the
submarines resume their old tactics Mr..
Wilson will have to about face and go
before the people as a war President
As a pacifist the President has his
record Of patience with Germany and
Mexico to begin with. From present
indications he will add TO this indirect
efforts 10 mediate in Europe. -.
The Nav issue OF "The Commoner'
contained a signed editorial by Mr..
BRYAN urging the President to con-
ciliate the pacifist element in the Re
publican party, the strength Of which
was said to be apparent in the Ford
vote, by trying TO stop the European
war. The President is expected 10 fol-
low this course, but not because OF Mr..
Bryan's suggestion. 1t is thought,
rather, that Mr.. Bryan is hopping
aboard the band wagon which the
President had already decided to drive
To Amplify Peace Talk.
The mediation hints in the Presl-
dents speech at Charlotte, y. G.. Sat
urday are expected 10 be amplihed IN
the address the President will make 10
the League to Enforce Peace here Sat
urday night.
The success OF any move the Presl-
dent may make in the direction of me-
diation depends entirely on the attitude
of the Allies. As yet they have been
deaf. But the strength of the Presi-
dents position is mis- friendship for the
Allied governments He has the ear OF
London and Paris as no other neutral
has. and this was one of Germany's
strongest reasons for avoiding a break
with the United States and for making
peace suggestions TO Washington.
The President. therefore, will be UNI
likely to take any drastic action against
the Allies during the coming summer.
Whether this inaction will force Ger
many back to illegal submarine war
fare is the puzzle IL is generally be-
lieved. however, that Germany hopes
for mediation By President Wilson, and
realizes that the friendship of the
United States for the Allies is factor.
Loss of German Vote Not Conceded.
Although Mr. Bryan, in his "Com,
moner" editorial, takes it for granted
that the German vote is lost TO the
Democratic party, many Of the Presi-
dents supporters here are not so sure
of it. Germans in this country, they
point out, want peace, If President
Wilson can bring it about he may rea-
sonably expect thousands of hyphen-
ates TO vote him their gratitude.

SEEKS TO AVOID REPRISALS
Britain Averse to Rigorous Treatment
for German Prisoners.

London. May 22.-Lord Robert Cecil,
Minister of War Trade, stated in the
House of Commons this afternoon that
representatives Of the United States
government had been refused permits
sion to visit some industrial camps in
Germany where British prisoners were
employed
The minister added that the treat
ment of prisoners in Germany was
somewhat better than formerly, though
the situation at some of the working
camps and industrial establishments
left much 10 be desired.
To a suggestion made by Rowland
Hunt, Unionist member for the Ludlow
Division of Shropshire, that German
prisoners in England be subjected to
most rigorous treatment short Of
actual cruelty, Lord Robert Cecil said
the government was anxious TO avoid
reprisals if possible.

Austrians Lead Attack
Where Italians Failed

Berlin, May 22 Cby wireless to Say
Vile, n. Withdrawing descriptions
OF the nature of the ground over which
the Austrians are advancing in their
victorious drive against the Italians
and of the manner in which the often
sive and defensive lines have been
drawn arc sent by correspondents on
the Italian front Summarizing the va
rious articles, the Overseas News
Agency to-day says:
AT the beginning Of the war the Aus
TRANS, for military reasons, located
their lines south Of Rovereto within
Austrian territory in the Adige Valley,
with the Italian lines not more than
a rife shot distant. The Austrians
had fortified the valley and the nearby
mountains, stretching barbed wire
across the vineyards and twining IL in
and out among the bushes on the rocky
elevations.
Furious attempts were made by the
Italians 20 break through the Austrian
barriers and reach the district of Trent
They used their heaviest artillery in
the effort. but were unable 10 advance
in the slightest degree.
"The Italian efforts were then direct
cd against the territory east of Row
ereto, where lie the Nielgeruth and
Lafraun highlands. At intervals the
Austrian positions here were shelled
continuously for as much as a fort
night at a time. But although the Ital-
ian forces here had the advantage of
positions lying above those of the Aus
trians, their only success in twelve
months time was the destruction by
their heavy guns Of mountain peak, so
that the Austrians were forced TO with
draw the detachment that had occupied
the peak. Despite this, the Italians
were not able to advance yard.
ut is in this southern Tyrol territory
where the Italians had made desperate
efforts without success to gain ground
since the first day of the war, that the
Austrians are now attacking"

MAIL PROTEST
TO BRITAIN READY
Wilson Bases Note on
Seizure of Neutral
Correspondence.

Washington, May %. -President Will
son tonight completed note vigor-
ously renewing the protest of the
United States TO Great Britain against
Interference with American mails.
The communication is expected to so
forward tomorrow.
Secretary Lansing and legal experts
at the State Department made the
original draft Of the note, and the
President revised its phraseology. II
is made up largely of legal arguments
TO meet the contentious of Great
Britain in a memorandum, concurred
in by France, presented to the State
Department several weeks ago.
The United States takes the position
that practices complained Of in its
first complaint on the subject have
been continued and that the American
government must now insist more
emphatically that they cease.
State Department officials consider
that the chief weakness of the position
Of Great Britain is her policy of tax
ing neutral mail vessels into British
jurisdiction and submitting them to
local censorship regulations. 1t is un-
derstood that it Is on this point that
tho renewed protest is chiefly based.
The British memorandum avoided this
phase Of the question. Rapid trans
mission was promised to true cor
respondence." but the right to seize
contraband sent in the mails was main
tanned.
The Hague Convention of 1907, the
United States contends, guarantees the
inviolablity of postal correspondence
and the new note again points to the
Inconvenience and actual money loss
resulting from the continuance OF the
British policy OF taking neutral mali
vessels into British ports, and there
examining and OBTAINING the mails. a
mass of evidence has been COLLECTED
showing the effects on American ousi-
ness Of the British policy.

strongly urged that the National VOL

said in effect, declared the witness,
that the movement was one to be

"To proclaim the Irish Volunteers
