T. P. O'Connor Arrives To Explain Question
 Confronting Ireland

New York, June AT P. OConnor, M. P, one of the leaders of the Irish nationalist party, accompanied by Rich ard Hazleton, member of the House of Commons from North Galway and sec- retary of the Irish party, arrived here today on a British steamship. The ob- ject of the visit, according to MT. O'CoS- nor, is to place before the men of his race and the friends of Ireland of all races in this country, the realities and the issues of the Irish situation. The stay here is indefinite. they said, and after a few days in New York they expect to go to Washington.
 'The situation in Ireland is still some what confused" MT O'Connor said on landing. "A series of unfortunate mis- takes and tragic events has produced resentment and thrown many of the younger men of the country off their balance for the moment. But this, in my opinion, represents a mood and not a settled preference for the hopeless pro- gramme of armed insurrection over a constitutional movement.
 "As to the war, opinion in England grows more united and hardene- My own views have been already expressed. need say nothing a the moment fur ther about Americas welcome interven- tion except that Lincolns speech at Gettysburg and President Wilson's ad- dress to Congress represent to me the dearest definitions of the issues and pur- poses for which all free men today are fighting

German General Expresses
 Contempt for America
 and Her Efforts in War

Amsterdam, June 24.-The semi-official North German Gazette publishes review of the military situation In which Gen eral von Blueme writes:
 With head erect and a gaze full Of contempt we come to a consideration of the nations which since the beginning of the year have joined our enemies, the United States in the fore front of them. With our three allies we now have to guard ourselves against IS entirely hos tile and nine half hostile states compris- ing the greatest part of the earth's in- habitants. The more enemies the more honor"
 General Von Blueme declares the in- creased power of Germans enemies is not such as to evoke any anxiety and he argues along the familiar lines that, in all human probability, the war will be decided before considerable increase in the present insignificant forces of the new enemies can be developed; also that their geographical position makes their Influential intervention impossible.
 we are remaining firmly enough on our feet not to stubble over straws, he adds.

DEMONSTRATIONS
 PLANNED BY WILD
 ANARCHISTS FAIL
Workmen and Soldiers Would Have Nothing to Do With Maximalists'
 Group of Outlaws

Petrograd, June 24-The principal po- litical groups held conferences through the whole of Friday night and the workmen's and soldiers delegates assembled at o'clock this morning to prepare for emergencies. The plans of the maximalists for today, however, proved a complete fasco. Neither the workmen nor the soldiers rallied to their call, thanks to joint action by the pro- visional government and the workmen s and soldiers delegates.
 General Polovtseff, commander of the Petrograd troops, reasoned with the units of the garrison which previously had announced their intention to carry out a demonstration. The workmen's and sol diers committee sent delegates to all the factory districts and the barracks tc counteract maximalist agitation. N. C. Tcheidse, president of the council of workmens and soldiers delegates, per sorally visited the barracks of one dis affected regiment and brought the men to reason.
 The group of anarchists is still holding the villa of General Durnoyo In Viborg Many of them are refugees who recently returned from the United States. One of the anarchists was asked why he did not carry out his theories when ir the United States replied, You don't know the American police"

KERENSKY TALKS

Petrograd, Saturday, June 23.-"Russa is following an independent foreign policy, and the government uncondition- ally forbade Russian troops to disembark at Athens, said Minister of War Ker- ensky during the debate in the all- Russian congress of soldiers and work mems council today on the subject of war aims.
 Regarding the army, the war minister said:
 My orders are the expressions of the will of the majority of the Russian de- mocracy AS long as I remain in office I will not permit the disintegration of any army which should be strong and should not allow Prince Leopold of Bavaria and this new socialism to threat en us with divisions and heavy artillery"
 Referring to Finland and the Ukraine, M. Kerensky urgently appealed to the democrats of those regions not to break their union with Russia in the struggle for common happiness and liberty. "The dismemberment of Russia" said the min ister, would involve their ruin"
 Concerning Armenia, M Kerensky de- clared that that country could not be evacuated, because if this were done it would become a prey to the Kurds and the Turks.

who earn no glory from It and whose only satisfaction Is the knowledge that they are doing something for their coun- try and their countrys allies.
 There is still another class of Ameri- cans who are eager to do something and
 who provide lot of work for the dip lomatic officials. These are the ubiqui-
 tous American inventors, nine out of 10 of whom prove to be cranks The tenth, however may have something really valuable and all are scrupulously seen and allowed to tell their tale. If they really have something valuable it does not get past Uncle sam officials abroad.
 Most of them, however, have little but some queer contrapton and lot of burn
 ing patriotism. One of them made the
 round of London newspaper offices re- gently before going to the American em-
 bassy. He was picturesque old boy of
 the Buffalo Bill type who had fit with Custer and he was quite sure that a development of the lasso principle which he had worked out on a big scale was the very thing for catching submarines. As soon as the submarine showed it's nose above the water you lassooed it's peri scope and the thing was done. Another, l a down east type, had a scheme for mag netizing the sides of merchant ships sc that the U-boats would be irreslstibly attracted to them. Both of these and | the scores of others of the same kind were doubtless handled at the embassy with the most tactful patience and went away with their patriotism unimpaired.

 "A baby should have only one feeding between o'clock at night and 6 o'clock in the morning "A normal baby sleeps from IS to 20 hours day; the more fresh air the baby gets, the better he will sleep The baby should always sleep alone. "The best and safest way to raise your baby Is to nurse it. "If there is any question about tho milk you are feeding the baby not being clean and sweet, boil il"

Mir. McWane made the principal speech and stated at the outset that he had occasion to tell Genereal Goethals in Washington a few days ago that some of the work that the general had in hand should be done in the south where there was to be found the most de- pendable and loyal as well as capable labor in the country
 ENEMY AGENTS FAIL
 He cited an instance where it was reported to him that some enemy agents had been trying 70 work up dissatisfaction among the colored em- ployes at Acipco, but declared that after the matter had been investigated for two weeks by a detective he was glad to find that there was nothing in the report.
 He urged the negroes to remain in the south, and added that it was not always what other people did for them. but what the negro did for himself that counted most What are you do- ing for yourselves?" he asked. How much self-respect have you? How sober are you? How thrifty are you? How much do you economize?" These are the questions you must answer for yourselves, and I am sure that you will find the white people right here ready to do as much for you as you do for yourselves"
 PRAISED LOYALTY
 Dr. Barnwell. in his address. paid tribute to the worth of the negro as a citizen according Ito the opportunity he had and praised his loyalty to the government in every crisis. Mrs. C. F Orr told of the work the negro women had done in the Red Cross movement and stated that it was a pleasure for her to work with such willing people,
 Rev. A. c. Williams, speaking for the colored people. pleaded for square deal for the negro, declaring that it was possible for the best white people in Birmingham and in the south to see that the negro got better homes, better schools and higher wages, and common justice in the courts.
 The total collections from the sale of tags have amounted to more than $500 up to Saturday night and the Sun day collection $50. Reports submitted to headquarters show that the negro laborers have turned in S1508, while MT. Wood, one of the captains who turned in s90O0 stated that 80 per cent of that money had been given by ne- groes.

A footrace last Sunday evening be-
tween Carl Miller and a young man
named Rose, which was pulled on the
street in front of the school house for
a distance of 800 yards, resulted in
a victory for the latter. An inter
ference with the sunners by sheep
herder who had overindulged in
witch hazel precipitated a fight in
which some half dozen blows were
struck, but the judges decided that
the race was fairly won. Footracing,
lighting etc, stirred up considerable
excitement in an otherwise quiet Sun
day afternoon.
