IRISH FEAR LEST ]. s.
WITHDRAW SYMPATHY
Need Of American Good Will Used
as Argument Against Sinn
Feiners.
BY WILLIAM H. BRAYDEN.


Cablegram to The Sunday Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1917.
DUBLIN. October 27.- Irishmen Of
opinion spread In America that the
aspirations of Ireland are incompatible
with the vigorously antiPrussian aims
of the allies. Recent arrests of Sim
Feiners in the United States have at
tracted great attention here. The ma
tionalist party uses these arrests as a
strong argument against the Sim
Feiners. The Redmondites pronounce
the arrests of especial Significance. be-
cause they reveal that the American
and British governments are in close
cooperation against the Sim Feiners.
Hitherto" says the Freeman's Jour-
nal, America has been a safe asylum
for the political refugee. Its people
were the best friends of the Irish.
Some months ago the principal Sim
Fein orators boasted that they would
have President Wilson's help at the
peace conference. Now the situation is
wholly changed. Americas entry into
the war has meant that the Sim Fein
delegate to Washington has been ar
rested and charged with pro-German
conspiracy. Every intelligent Irish ma
tionalist will recognize the stupidity
of policy that offends the United
States. The whole peace conference
idea of the Sim Feiners has been burst
by the events in America that led to
the arrests.
Every man in Ireland capable of
reasoning deplores the prospect OF los
ing the sympathy not only of America,
but Of the British overseas dominions
This sympathy in the past we have
had The same Irishmen realize that
IL we do anything really to embarrass
the high imperative principles for
which the allies are now waging war
we shall be regarded by all freedom
loving peoples as deserving of any
evil fate that may befall u.s."

be too optimistic, II Is folly to deceive
ourselves into the belief that sufficient
food will be produced In Sumter cpun-
ty this summer to feed the entire
population Of the county for twelve
months. It may be possible to grow
on the acreage planted. or yet to be
planted In corn. sufficient corn to equal

county. but there will not be enough
corn. wheat and rice raised in the
county to meet the needs of the coun-
ty. Sumter county will see some

London, April 26.-Indications are
not lacking that momentous events
are about to occur behind the fighting
lines. The summary adjournment of
the Reichstag after barely opening
has been given added significance by
hints in German newspapers that the
strike agitation may burst forth with
renewed violence on May Day, the
great international Socialist holiday.
Nationwide labor demonstrations
IN Sweden are also planned and they
may have the counterpart in Spain.
No news Of Importance has come
from Austria in several days, and this
has given fresh vigor to the reports
that the dual monarchy is seeking q

Judgment in the matter and Col. Nc

D: E. Efird, secretary Of the fai,
society, told Mayor Griffith that the
fair society would be glad to cooper
ate in any way possible and in the en-.
tire transaction the secretary has
joined with the mayor heartily in
every effort.
The fair grounds offer commodous
quarters for the headquarters. In
addition to Col. McCully and staf.
