DEMAND MADE
TO KEEP ALL

Scarcity of Food Supplies in
Ireland Has Provoked De- .
mand to Retain Supplies.

Dublin. ireland. April 17-tcorre-
spondence of the Associated Press.)-
The o situation in ireland has pro-
voked, from a certain section, tho de-
mand that no food shall be allowed
to leave the Irish shores. and It has
ment prohibit export tho people
should forcibly hold up the food at
the Irish ports. Though this demand
has not been put forward from any
responsible source, It has been motto.
ed by Thomas w. Russell, vice presi-
dent of the department Of agriculture
for Ireland. who referred to It u
John Mitchel's old cry Of hold the

Mr.. Russell said only m svsr.
risk Of having their export trade de-
stroyed. Last a Ireland had ex-
ported $4,000. 900 pounds worth Of
food, n to destroy that export trade
would destroy the import trade ~
well since they could get goods into
Ireland only by paying for them with
exports. There was no necessity what
ever for panic. There raj an undoubt-
sure would not be felt till the end Of
May and they could make an effort
to live on without potatoes until the
new crop in June and July.
The government measures for the
compulsory increase of tillage in Ire
land are proving a success. They were
welcomed by the class of small ten-
ants who in most cases are filling
more than the 10 per cent extra re-
CURED by the regulations. Tho large
graziers and owners Of grass lands
held out at first, but the heads of the
agricultural department made 1t evil
dent that they meant to insist on their
compulsory powers, and that, unless
the regulations were obeyed, the land
would be taken over and put under
tillage, whether the owners liked 1t
or not. This a had its e&ect and the
reluctant owners are obeying the or
der to till 10 per cent more land than
last year.
The Irish Homestead, looking for
ward to the end of the war and a con-
tinuance of high food prices, calls for
the organization Of every parish in
ireland upon cooperative lines for
the purchase of its raw material and
also for the sale Of its products direct
to the merchants and wholesalers in
the towns. The increased cost Of liv-
ing he attributes largely to the fact
that the distributive branch Of 'agri-
culture had been organized in a very
haphazard way. He declares that, II

could have a food supply which would
ensure them against n danger Of
being starved out even If there were

CABINET CRISIS
in SPAIN ENDS
Attitude of South America Causes
Surprise and Worry-Gov-
eminent Weakened.

Madrid, April IS, (Delayed)-The
distress caused by the German SUBJ
marine blockade and the recent labor
unrest has somewhat weakened the
position Of the government, and pub
lie speculation was busy reshuffling
the cabinet when the news came that
Brazil had broken off relations with
Germany and Cuba had declared war
against Germany, and that other
South American states were about to
follow their example. The new was
both unexpected and unwelcome.
The entry of the United States into
the war caused surprise enough, The
that the American policy was based
purely on Ltilitarian considerations,
and would w lead to war while
neutrality e good business. Re-
sponsible Spanish opinion as express
ed by the Epoca and the Prime Min
ister's organ, the Diario Universal,
mad speedy amends by paying an
idealism as expounded in President
Wilson's address to congress-, but h
old spirit Of antagonism and resent
ment dating from the Cuban war is
industriously fostered by the German
izing press, which still discovers sell
fish motives for American action, and
insists that American aid will not.
and is not intended to, have practical
value for the Allies.
l. The South American decision
touches Spain more nearly because OF
her. prescriptive- right to the moral
and sentimental hegemony~ Of the
Spanish-speaking world. To this is
always attached a peculiar value; a
value never greater than today.
Spanish neutrality has acquired anc
ton and support from the association
Of her daughter states across the sea.
Their entry Into the war would de-
prive her Of this comfort and leave
glehanded.
The question has g. more, serious
side. Hitherto the German submarine
threat, while forbidding spaHiIh ship
ping to trade with the Allies has per-
mitted trade with neutrAls, and Span
ish ships continued accordingly to
ply to the United States, Cubs ana
Argentina, but II the blockade arrests
now extended to the American con-
tinent what becomes Of Spanish COM
merce?
The ~torpedoing without warning Of
the San Fulgencio. carrying British
coal for Barcelona, wounds Spain at
the tenderest point, and shows alnin
the scant regard the Germans have
for Spanish neutrality. Public opan.
ion remains quiet and concillatoSy,
but the repeated attempts to force
Spain n thew war " creating q feel
ing of ,uneasiness. In, view Of the
gravity Of the situation the ministerial
crisis 10 postponed. 81

Chapter XIV-Hotels.

At an early day in the history Of
our city it was decided TO have some
hotels. 1t was good idea. One can
not think of a city without hotels.
The first hotel was built of logs at
Twelfth and Jackson streets. II was
sixteen feet wide and eighteen feet
long and one story high. The build
ers wanted to call it the Imperial and
Royal hotel Better counsel, how
ever, prevailed and it was decided
that this name would not be suitable.
So it was called the st. Nicholas
hotel.' -.
1t was run by William Snowdcn.
His wife was appointed cook. Mr..
Ssowden later attained political dis
tinction, being appointed constable OF
Omaha.
The Douglas house was another
early hotel. 1t was nearly two stories
high. The rear part of it was built
OF cottonwood slabs, placed vertically.
In the winter time there wers many
complaints from guests because Of
cold rooms and snow sitting through
the chinks. ~. ...
George Francis Train, whose i'll
spring life we studied two weeks ago,
built the Edwards House in 1867. it
did not do much business, so the name
was changed to Cozzens house. Later
it was known as the Easement and
still later as the Wyoming. But still
it never prospered
A pleasing occasion was had at this
hotel February 4, 1859, at which two
baskets of champagne were sampled
and consumed. Mr.. McConihic
responded to the toast, "The lady of
the present day. She wants but little
on her head, but much below to make
a spread" From this we see that

Shakespeare. II is said he once sat
half through Shakespearean play i'll
which an ordinary Ham Fat" was
playing Hamlet. Byrne was growing
more and more disguised with the
leading mans Interpretation of the
part of the Melancholy Dane. Still
he held his temper. Then came the
"star" again with tie line
Something too much of this
Byrne is said to have leaped to his
feet, snatched up his overcoat and,
shouting Much too much of this" y
stalked from the theater.
By others it is held that this feat
was really perpetrated by Edward
Fitzgerald, the English writer and
critic of other days, and now in this
later day merely attributed to Harry
Byrne. Nevertheless if Byrne did not
do and say these things he had it i'll
his soul to act just so many a time
as he sat through a weak interpreta-
ton of some of Shakespeare's best.
Playing practical jokes on his
friends is hobby with f. J. Seroy.
He recently made a special trip to
Ak-Sar- Ben office to tell Secretary
Dad Weaver that w. A. Piel, the
druggist, was hopping mad at Weaver
and at outs with the whole Ak-Sar-
Ben organization. He had taken Plel
into his confidence in advance. No,
sir" he said, 1--WE can't get that fel-
low Piel to join this year. He is mad,
and he wants to see you to give you
the devil personally. and to tell you
once and for all what he thinks of
the whole Ak-Sar-Ben organization"
Weaver shifted his cigar to the
other side of his mouth and looked
worried.
"I'd advise you to 60 up there and
fix it up with Piel some way" COIL
tinued Seroy.
Going out he met E. L. Potter and
he primed him to carry the same
story to Weaver. Potter did so, and
declared he also had received an
awful calling down from Piel. Seroy
found Randall Brown and George
Haverstick and got them to carry
similar stories to Weaver about the
foaming wrath of w. A. Piel, Re-
peatedly all these fellows urged
Weaver to go and racify 2iel. For
two weeks Weaver could not muster
the nerve to approach the man who,
he believed, had some terrible grudge
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1917-05-13

against him. AT last, under the greats
est pressure, Weaver walked into
Piers drug store, sidled up to tho
cigar case, bought cigar and glanced
fearfully about him for sight Of tho
terrible proprietor. At last tho
monster" emerged from behind tho
counter, With an application blank for
Ak-Sar- Ben all filled out in one hand,
a check for the membership fee in
the other, and grin that forced
Weaver to buy the drinks.
When L. N. Bunce is not selling
real estate or handling rentals he is
practicing the various parts to which
he may be assigned in the Ak-SarA
Ben show in the fall. Bunce is ona
of the most dependable of the workers
at the Den. Samson knows he may
depend upon Bunce to take part and
carry it off well. Ben Cotton may
fash upon the stage one year with a
lively clog or pigeon wing. Charley
Gardner may be the leading man for
year or two and disappear from the
stage. Jack Alvord may be big chief
for season. Chief of Police Henry
Dunn may be booked as one of Sam
sons coal stol:ers for a succession of
seasons, and then get appendicitis
and enthusiastic. He never gets sick.
He never quits on the job, and he is
always on deck when the Monday
night performance comes on. On ac-
count OF his diminutive size he has
with peculiar aptness adapted himself
to the parts of the bodyguard for the
giant, DOC Cayenne Pep" and again
for the magnificent King Tatarax"
last year.
When lie is not practicing his part,
nor selling real estate, he is hustling
members for Ak-Sar-Ben, for he is a
tireless worker in the cause of Sam
son.
Losing a walking-stick is a funny
hobby for anyone to have, but Lucien
Stephens admits that TO be one of his
hobbies. He can afford to spend con-.
siderable time at it, too, for every time
he loses his stick, it is returne to him.
Many Omaha people confidently ex-
pect Stephens to leave his stick at
their store, bank, movie theater, home
or elsewhere, every time he calls. Each
time he forgets it, they bring or send
it back to him. Maybe wouldn't be
SO lucky, if it was all umbrella" IN
says
