Major w. Redmond,
Noted Nationalist,
Is Killed in Action
Brother of Irish Leader Re-
ported Dead of Wounds
on French Front

London, June 9.--It was unoficially
reported here to-day that Major William
II. H. Redmond, member of Parliament
for the East Division of Clare and a
brother of John Redmond, leader Of
the Irish Nationalists in the House of
Commons, had died from wounds re-
ceived in action in France on June 7.
The news that Major Redmond had
been killed will cause genuine regret
both in England and ireland. lie was
one of the most brilliant men of the
Nationalist party, and while an uncom-
promising advocate OF Home Rule, was
one of the most popular men in Parla-
ment and the country. Among his
friends, and even many of his most
bitter political opponents, this popu-
larity was enhanced when on the out
break of the war, he whole heartedly
supported the cause of the Entente
Allies and at the first opportunity
sought and secured a commission in an
Irish regiment, although well over the
age limit. He had risen TO the rank of
major.
Major Redmond served with the Sixth
Royal Irish Rifles. Ne sat in Parlis-
ment for Wexford, North Fermansgh
and East Clare successively. having
represented the East Division of Clare
since 1892. He was born in 1861 and
was barrister-at-law.
Major Redmond was well known in
the United States, TO which country he
made several visits. the last one being
just before the war.

Raid
On Food Here
Causes Alarm
Congress Criticised for De
lay in Passing Govern
ment Control Bills
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, June 9.--Positive infor-
nation that European neutrals are pur-
chasing great quantities of foodstufs
in the country through agents in New
York and Southern cities, to-day caused
bitter criticism in Administration cir
cles Of the delay over the pending food
control legislation.
During the day several Senators con-
ferred with Food Commissioner Hoover
regarding the situation. Later it was
stated with the authority of the Food
Control Administration that unless the
pending legislation was expedited 1t
would be impossible 30 take the neces-
sary conservation measures planned by
Mr.. Hoover
IL was further charged that already
the Department of Agriculture had
been prevented from taking much need
ed steps TO stimulate production De
cause of Congressional delay.
There is an urgent need, it was said,
for the immediate enactment OF the
embargo bill giving the President con-
troll Of food exports. This, however, IT
ding the food situation unless the sup
Elementary regulatlve powers included
in the legislation were also made law.
The Allied governments, it is known,
arc seriously concerned over the situa-
tion Because of an informal agree
nent with Mr.. Hoover, purchasing rep

country have not yet taken steps 70
secure the large supplies urgently
needed. A cooperative scheme OF lolnt
purchases By the Hoover Commission
and Entente representatives has peeh
drafted, but has awaited action author-
izing Mr.. Hoover to proceed:
If European neutrals continue 10 Sc
cure large quantities of the Southern

was pointed out, may be seriously EN-
barrassed through postponement oil
senators Houston. Of Wisconsin;
Sbinpard. OF Texas, and Ransdell, OF
Louisiana, conferred with Mr.. Hoover
late today. II was stated afterWard
,bat vigorous attempt 10 secure
pronpt action on the food control Dill
will be made early next week.
Mr.. Hoover, outlining his plans fof
lowering food prices TO delegation OF
labor representatives and Congressmen
to-day. said il was vital that Congress,
pass the Administration food control
bill Immediately. .
"Throughout the last three years,
Mr. Hoover told the delegation, two
words have been written over the pages
of English history, too late Unless
the Lever bill is passed immediately,
before the grain is harvested. too late
will be written in our own history.

Tn VIEW of the approaching visit of the Ameri-
can delegation to Russia to express the deep
friendship of the American people for the peo-
pie of Russia and to discuss the best and most prac-
tical means Of cooperation between the two peoples
in carrying the present struggle for the freedom of
all peoples to successful consummation, it seems
opportune and appropriate that ] should state
again, in the light of this partnership the OBJ
jects the United States has had in mind in entering
the war.
Those objects have been very much becouded
during the last few weeks by mistaken and misead-
ing statements and the issues at stake are too
momentous, too tremendous, too significant for the
whole human race TO permit any Misrepresentation
or misunderstanding, however slight, TO remain
uncorrected for moment
The war has begun to go against Germany, and
in their desperate desire to escape the inevitable
ultimate defeat those who in authority IN Ger
many are using every possible instrumentallty,
are making use even of the influence of groups and
parties among their own subjects to whom they
have never been just fair or even tolerant, to
promote propaganda both sides of the sea
which will preserve for them their influence at home
and their power abroad, to the undoing OF the very
men they are using
The position of America in this war is so clearly
avowed that no man be excused for mistaking
it. She seeks no material profit or ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of any kind. She is fighting for no advantage or
selfish object of her own, but for the liberation OF
PEOPLES everywhere from the aggressions OF auto
cratic force
The ruling classes in Germany have begun of
late 10 profess like berality and justice of pur-
pose but only to preserve the power they have
set UP in Germany and the selfish advantages which
they have wrongly gained for themselves and their
private projects of power all the way from Berlin
to Bagdad and beyond.
Government after government has by its infiu-
ence. without open conquest of its territory, been
linked together in net of intrigue directed against
nothing less than the peace and liberty of the world
The meshes of that intrigue must be broken, but
cannot be broken unless wrongs already done are
undone and adequate measures must be taken to
prevent it from ever again being rewoven or re-
paired.
OF course, the Imperial German government and
those whom it is using for their own undoing are
seeking to obtain pledges that the war will end IN

Officers, enlisted personnel and

All persons who attempt TO obtain
prohibited information from persons

Duty to Report Violations
Those to whom a knowledge OF a

the restoration of the St6tUs quo ante. IL was the
status quo ante out Of which this niquitous war
issued forth, the power of the Imperial German
Government within the empire and Its widespread
domination and influence outside of that empire
That status must be altered in such fashion as TO
prevent any such hideous thing from ever happen
ing again.
We are fighting for the liberty, the sef-govern-
ment and the indicated development of all peoples,
and every feature of the settlement that concludes
this war must be conceived and executed for that
purpose Wrongs must first be righted and then
adequate safeguards must be created to prevent
their being committed again We ought not to con-
slider remedies merely because they have pleasing
and sonorous sound Practical questions can be
settled only by practical Phrases will not
accomplish the result. Effective readjustments will;
and whatever readjustments are necessary must
be made.
But they must follow principle and that prin-
cple is plain. No people must be forced under
sovereignty under which it does not wish to live.
No territory must change hands except for the pur-
pose of securing those who inhabt it fair chance
of life and liberty. No indemnties must be insisted
on except those that constitute payment for mani
fest wrongs done No readjustments of power must
be made except such as will tend TO secure the
future peace of the world and the future welfare
and happiness of its peoples.
And then the free peoples of the world must
draw together in some common covenant, some
genuine and practical cooperation that will IN effect
combine their force to secure peace and justice IN
the dealings of nations with one another. The
brotherhood of mankind must no longer be fair
but empty phrase; it must be given structure OF
force and reality. The nations must realize their
common life and effect workable partnership to
secure that life against the aggressons Of auto
cratic and self-pleasing power
For these things we afford to pour out blood
and treasure For these are the things we have
always professed to desire, and unless we pour out
blood and treasure now and succeed, We may never
be able to unite show conquering force again in
the great cause of human liberty. The day has
come to conquer or submit.
If the forces of autocracy divide US, they will
overcome us; if we stand together victory is GER
tain and the liberty which victory will secure. We
can afford then to be generous, but we cannot
afford. then or now, to be weak omit any single
guarantee of justice and security.
