Irish Priest Calls
Sinn Fein "Lunacy"
Canon Walsh, of Wexford,
Says Allies Are Becoming
Enemies of Ireland
{ Correspondence of The Associated Press

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
DUBLIN, June 30.-Some of the older
Irish priests, particularly in County
Wexford, have been speaking out
strongly against the Sim Fciners. The
Very Rev. Canon Walsh, presiding at
a meeting Of the Crossabeg and Bally-
murn branch of the United Irish
League, said the prospect before Ire
land was gloomy one as the "crimi-
nal lunacy Of Sim Fein" was turn
ing all Ireland's friends against her.
By insulting and trampling upon the
American flag and cheering for En-
peror William. he said, the "unruly
Sim Fein faction" was turning the
French Republic, the American nation
and the English democracy into bitter
enemies of Ireland.
Rather than gain independence for
Ireland, they were more likely to gain
twenty years Of coercion and martial
law, if any general support were ac-
corded by Irishmen to the antics of
the "miserable fnction,' whose record,
said Canon Walsh, so far, was one of
dissentlon, disruption and disaster.
Resolutions were passed at the meet
ing, condemning the latest German
outrage in numbering seven innocent
fishermen off the Galway coast, and
denouncing the Gaelic League as "a
feeder of Sim Fei"

Sweden Confronted by
Serious Food Crisis

Correspondence Of The Associated Prcss)
STOCKHOLM, June 17.-Food supply
is SO short and prices so high that the
situation is becoming serious for all
except the we'll do. No potatoes have
been available for weeks The new
crop is selling at the equivalent of
$1.20 quart or $3.50 a peck Tea
costs the equivalent of $21 a pound
and is almost unobtainable
The last ration of coffee issued five
weeks ago amounted to three and one
half ounces for each person, and the
same amount of inferior lard was is
sued month ago. One ounce of butter
is issued to person q week
Virtually the only vegetables on the
market are spinach and asparagus
half ounces for each person, and the
cheapest cuts of boiling beef sl.20 per

Slayden, Criticised by
President, Quits Race
Representative From Texas
for % Years Withdraws
Candidacy

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 25.-
James L. Slayden, for the last twenty
two years Representative in Congress
for the Fourteenth District and candi-
date for denomination in the primaries
Saturday next, has withdrawn from the
race following publication yesterday
afternoon Of telegram from Presi-
dent Wilson.
The telegram, addressed to a pub
Usher here, said:
"Your letter received. The Admins
tration as between candidates equally
loyal never takes part, but in the light
of Mr.. Slaydens record no one can
claim he has given support to the Ad-
ministration."
A. P. Barrett and Carlos Bee still
remain in the race.
"The President of the United States
has said in a telegram to newspaper
that l have not supported the Admin
istration," said Slayden's statement.
"No matter how false the statements
made to the President that procured
this telegram, my continued candidacy
for Congress in view of it will appear
to put me in opposition to those
charged with the prosecution of the
war. | therefore announce my with
drawal from the race for Congress-"
WASHINGTON, July 25.-White
House officials would make no state
ment on the withdrawal of Representa-
tive Slayden, of Texas, from the Con-
gressional contest, further than to say
that such a telegram as referred to in
the San Antonio dispatches had been
sent.

Lewis Warns That New Of
fer, Coming Through
Italy, Holds Blow
To u. S.
Germany Gives Point
Offers Concessions to Belgium,
Run,ania and Serbia; De-
mands Freedom in Russia

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Possibili-
ties of a peace offensive were discussed
IN the Senate to-day at the semi-week-
ly session. All Senators who spoke
declared the crushing defeat of Ger
many was necessary before peace nego-
tiations could be considered.
Senator Lewis, of Illinois, Democratic
whip, warned Americans against "new
professions of peace and false propa-
ganda" from Germany.
1--WE are not allured by it or deceived
by it," said he, declaring that Ger
many's intent was to cause demand
in this country and among the Allies
for peace and to enable Germany to
secure frmer grasp upon Russia and
the East for preparation of a huge
army to strike America later.
The German peace offer, Senator
Lewis suggested, ought to have been
Indignantly repudiated by Emperor
William, because it conflicts with his
boastings.
Senator Sherman, of Illinois, Repub-
lican, declared peace could come onlv
by a victory that would sweep the
Kaiser and his counsellors out of
power.
Another Peace Offer Coming
Senator Lewis declared America had
no intention in the plan for joint Al
he'd operations in Russia except to
oiock Germany's plans to Prussianize
the Far East. That another peace Of
fer from Germany is en- route through
Italian sources also was stated by SEN
ator Lewis.
There is information in this COM
munity," said Senator Lewis, "that sug-
gestions have been made through Italv
and soon will be made known through
proper diplomatic sources Germany's
proposition now Is that she will tender
belgium, Rumania and Serbia conces-
sions, with agreement for freedom of
the seas, for self-government and that
she be allowed to deal as she pleases

New Type of Submersible
Not Badly Damaged;
Reaches Port
Only One Shot Fired
Accident of July % Recalls
Firing on Italian Craft by
Americans Last Fall

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Mistaken
evidently for the German submersible
which has been operating of the North
Atlantic coast, an American submarine
of the latest type was fired upon and
slightly damaged by an armed vessel
IN New England waters last Tuesday.
No one aboard the submarine was in
jured. The craft has reached port
safe.
The Navy Departments announce
ment to-day did not reveal the identity
Or nationality Of the armed vessel, but
it was understood that it was an
Allied transport. Official reports were
that the submarine had been running
submerged and came to the surface
near the armed ship. The latter opened
fire and had scored one hit before
the American craft made known its
identity. The she'll ptnetrated the
outer hull of the submersible, but
did not explode.
Shell Fails to Explode
The only official details were con-
taines in this statement by the Navy
Department.:
"The Navy Department is informed
that United States submarine was
fired on by mistake by an armed mer-
chont essel on July %, off the Amer
lean coast. One shell penetrated the
outer hull of the submarine, but did
not explode. No material injury was
done. only small section of shell
plating being damaged. No one aboard
was injured and the submarine pro
ceeded to her base under her own
power"
Had the shell exploded after enter
ing the outer hull, it was said, the
submarine probably would have been
destroyed. AS it was, the inner hull
evidently was not damaged and the
submarine will be ready for service
agalns as soon as the damaged outer
hull plates can be replaced.
Italian Incident Recalled
This was the first incident of the
kind TO occur in American waters so
far as has been announced, but it ;s
not the first since the United States
entered the war Last October the

her custom to invite any soldier or

asked was that, if opportunity offered
her guest should carry word to her
soldier sons of the manner in which
She cherished their memory. Victor

Neutrals Now Seek
Britair1's Bonds
Recent Purchases Reflect
Opinion as to Outcome
of the War

LIVERPOOL, July 25. = The recent
improvement in war bond investments
is not solely the result of patriotic
endeavor, 'The Daily Post" learns, but
it is said that within the last few days
there have been substantial purchases
on neutral account. This, if true, is
an interesting indication of the neutral
view as to the issue of the war.
A German military writer recently
complained that neutrals did not ade-
quately appreciate German victories on
the Western front. Apparently this
lack of appreciation is becoming more
marked. 1t is also suggested that neu-
trail buying is to a certain extent stim-
ulated by German prudence and that
the international fnanciers of Frank
fort, anxious for better security than
the German war loan. are counter bal
arcing German commitments by buying
British bonds through neutral firms.

with other territory taken in what she

with other territory taken in what she
terms her defence against Russia.
Her object is to attain the East and
hold it and seemingly concede the de-
mands for which America, Great Brit
ain and France have been fighting and
to spread the opinion that by continu-
ing the war men are dying uselessly."
Plans to Attack United States
If allowed to hold the eastern peoples
in subsection, Senator Lewis said, Ger
many's plans involve raising an army
OF stupendous force to assail the United
States from the Pacific in new war.
"The United States would be the first
to pay the penalty" he said, "of yield
ing to the artful suggestions from Ger
many to cause Americans to protest
against further conduct Of the war"
Senator Sherman said he did not care
to hear any peace talk, or intimations
of peace, until Germany gives up Bel
gium and every foot of French soil and
stops the use of submarines and gives
pledges for the future against sub
marine warfare.
"Never can there be peace without
an overwhelming victory" he declared.
"riticises Presidents "Envoys"
Senator Sherman criticised what he
" .'HS e'i' uiOilStdl mysterious COM
mission reported gathering information
to be used in the peace conferences.
These men, he said are tl Presidents
personal ENJOYS.
Senator Lewis suggested that the
commission is merely collecting and
transmitting it's information to the
President for future use
Senator Thomas, of Colorado, joining
IN the peace discussions, said: Ger
man peace propaganda is light, inter
mlttent fever; it comes with every dis
aster to the German arms"
Slowing down of production, he
added, is the Allies real danger. He
said that in this country, last May,
there were 160 strikes in war industries
and 1S0 in June. He also called atten-
tion to the report Of $4,000 war workers
in England on strike and declared
Congress and the President should take
immediate steps to cope with strikes in
the United States.
