 The Three Men Mentioned. Or the three men mentioned in the second message, Mccarthy is prom inent Irish leader of Philadelphia and Jeremiah O'Leary, besides heading the American Truth Society, is editor of "Bull," a publication recently barred from the mail as seditious. While no one at the state deIN,rtr1ent would undertake positively to identify John P. Heating, it was assumed that the man referred to was John T. Heating know that he had been dead for sev- eral months. It also was suggested that Easement might have proposed these games simply because he had met the men and knew them as Irish agitators in this country, without any correspondence with them on the sub ject.
 There was no official attempt to identify the Dr. Hale recommended by Won Bernstorff as an authoSity on the work of the embargo conference, which so literally bombarded con- gross with telegrams demanding that munition shipments to the allies cease.

 Feature of the Revelations.
 A significant feature of the revela- i tions to which attention is also in- vited by the officials is that they have 1 been in a sense progressive in inten- sity.
