Cork, Ireland, Nov. 1. (By the As
ISOLATED Press. 1.-The Sim Fem is
keeping $4,000 a week from the hands
of the Cork merchants. That amount
was spent each week for four months
by American naval officers and sail
ors. It ceased when the Sim Fem
began to attack the American blue
Jackets and it will not be resumed
until the streets of Cork are again
made safe for the Americans. AT
present no naval man below the rank
of a destroyer commander may visit
Cork without laying himself open TO
a general court martial The same
rule applies to the British naval force.
Indignant over this loss of revenue,
the tradesmen have urged Mayor But
terrified to use his good offices to have
the ban lifted. The mayor is power
less in the face of the decision of the
American and British naval authori-
ties not to allow their men to visit
Cork until they are absolutely certain
that trouble will not follow.
Roast Them Sternly.
The Cork County Eagle in an edi-
torial account of the anti-American
demonstrations which preceded the
American decision to put cork out OF
bonds says;
MANY strange things have hap
pened in the city of Cork from time
to time, tho none more discreditaple
th6n the WanlOn, dlIdCh
made on the sailors of the United
States navy on Monday night. To the
cries of Up the Huns hundreds of
young men of the city bearing Sim
Fein flag in front, not only Kissed and
jeered American sailors when they
CHANGED to meet but displayed their
hostility in more decided fashion by
stoning some unfortunate young men
who had taken shelter from the
roWdyism and whose only offense was
that they wore the uniform of the
American navy.
What political wisdom could bring
even the most brafnless, thoughtless
youth of Cork to insult the represen-
tatiVes of the great people whose land
has made welcome the oppressed from
every CLINE, but in a particular and
special manner the exiles of Erin?
Try to picture what America will
think of the people who, not content
with their cries. up the Huns must
emphasize that admiration by hunt
ing as if they were wild beasts thru
the streets of their city the men who
are facing the deadly perils of the
Atlantic that these wanton scoundrels
who attacked them on Monday night
might have American flour to keep
them from starvation.
THE Cork republicans salute the
greatest of the worlds republics with
paving stones. Let us at least take
this consolation to heart, we can new
er go lower than this exhibition of
Monday evening"

In all these cities, administration

many local issues and personalities
will turn thousands of votes to them.
The action of the postoffice depart
ment in suppressing some publica-

ses against what they believe is an
effort by the government to curtail
free speech, is sending thousands of
other party radicals into the Social
