Dublin, Tuesday. May 21.-An ap-

United States to support the National

which is fighting for Irish liberty

John Dillon, the Nationalist leader, in

Britain Dampened Enthusiasm.
For the last three years the Brit

son have done the work of Germany
in Ireland more effectively than any
other agencies that I know of. Three
years ago Ireland was in the war
with as much enthusiasm as any Of
the allied nations and had sent to the
front a full proportion of her people
as compared with Great Britain or
the dominions of the crown, and Irish
soldiers had been in the van of the
battle and the post of danger on every
one of the allies fronts.
