Declines to Reveal
Message to Wilson,

DUBLIN (Wedne esday), May 22.-Ed-
ward Short. Chief Secretary for Ire
land. left Dublin by the morning boat
to-day for Holyhead on his way to
London. His departure was unexpected
in official circles and his absence from
Dublin Castle was known only to a
few persons until late this afternoon.
John Etchingham. local Sim Fein
leader, was arrested in Southern Ire
land.
At the anti-conscription conference
at Mansion House to-day letter was
read from A. J. Balfour, the British
Foreign Secretary, to the Lord Mayor
OF Dublin declaring that passports
would be granted to the Lord Mayor
only II he agreed to submit to the Irish
government all documents he intended d
10 carry to America on his proposed
Trip there. 1T was announced that the
Mayor had replied that the only docu-
ment he intended to carry was one d.
rect to President Wilson from the
Mansion House conference, and that he
would decline to submit this to the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
The document which the Lord Mavor
was to take to President Wilson was a
statement of the case of Ireland against
conscriptlon as framed by the con
terence. His departure is now DELAYED
further and he will not leave---if AZ

Associated Press
Admits Error in
La Toilette Report

The Associated Press yesterday sent
to Senator Atlee Pomerene, chairman
Of the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, which has under investiga-
tion the charge that the speech of Sen
ator La Toilette in ST. Paul last Sep
tember was scditious and disloyal, the
following telegram:
The Associated Press learned for
the first time on May - that the ac-
curacy OF its account of Senator La
Follettes speech in st. Paul on Sep
ough investigation was made immedi-
ately, convincing us that we distrib-
uted lnaccurately one important phrase
to which attention has been directed
by the Senator's counsel.
THE Associated Press did not have
staff reporter at the convention ad-
dressed by the Senator, and depended
upon the report received by THE St.
Paul Pioneer Press Our st. Paul
editor obtained q duplicate copy of the
account written by a reporter for that
paper, and because of the lateness of
the hour transmitted it to our mem
bers without waiting for it to be edited
or revised by the writer. Our report
on September 20 carried quotations at
trbuted to Senator La Toilette as fol-
lows:
wasn't in favor of beginning this
war. We had no grievances The Ger
man government had interfercd with
our rights to travel on the high seas
as passengers on the munition ships of
Great Britain.
con these grievances, which were
insignificant considering the rights
and consequences involved. we went to
war. We had a right to ship NUM-
tions. but ! was not in. favor of the
riding
"The foregoing quotations., preceded
by other quoted paragraphs, were taken
from the reporters account in the man.
ner stated. They were not written by our
editor and were not available to him
until nearly a m, very late Tor
morning papers 1t is improbable that
the reporter made stenographic re-
port. The quoted matter was not read
as carefully as it should have been, for
otherwise the conflicting word no
would have been seen. The Pioneer
Press, from which our story was
taken, quoted Senator La Toilette as
saying: we have grievances.'
owe cannot account for the disparity
in any other way than stated. 1t is the
recollection of the editor who filed the
story that Senator La Toilette in effect
said: we had grivance, but it was
not sufficient to justify a declaration
of war

Associated Press seizes the first op-
portunity to do justice to Senator La
Toilette.

The explosion of one of the raiders
bombs killed "a woman and injured a
dozen persons. A shell from a 75-
mlliimetre defence gun fell through a
roof and landed beside a cradle in
which there was a sleping infant. The
missile failed to explode and the baby
was not harmed.
In addition to the aerial attack on
Faris, another raid was carried out

President Wilson's call for "forcc

dered by lack Of ships, was the belief
expressed yesterday by DR.. Charles A.
Eaton, head of the National Service
Section of the United States Shipping
Board, after tour of the shipyards OF
the Great Lakes section.
With DR.. Eaton on the trip, which
began last Sunday and ended Wcdnes-

Emergency Fleet Corporation.

Everywhere we found that the soul of
America is awake. Tais was my sec

continent on a similar mission. And
America. And that could not be said
twenty years ago. In fact, one need not
have gone very far from the Grand
Central Terminal in this city to find
themselves in foreign country. But
now the country is one and united."'
Delivered Two Ships a Day
DR.. Eaten said that the greatest
thing done since the country entered
the war was the appointment of Mr..
Schwab TO take charge of the country's $
shipbuilding programme. Last week, y
he said, Eve delivered to the govern
ment two new ships a day. By the
fifteenth of June we will be delivering
four ships day."
DR.. Eaton said that the shipbuilding
programme was now almost up to the
at the beginning of the war the coun-
try had only thirty building ways,
while now it has nearly 400.
"To show you that the people OF this
country can have confidence in the
shipbuilding programme let me cite
you just one instance,' continued DR..
Eaton. "The Great Lakes ship yards
were asked by Mr.. Schwab to exceed
their expected output in 1919 by 1,0O0,-
900 tons. The unanimous reply was
that they would build the extra mill
ion tons, and that they might exceed
it.
Schwab Let Many Contracts
Mr.. Schwab, said DR.. Eaton, while
on the recent trip. let contracts for
100 new ships Of an average tonnage
of 1000. After Mr.. Schwab spoe

among them, shaking their hands, while
most of them called him plain
"Charley."
"Mr. Schwab is big human dynamo" )"
said DR.. Eaton. "He inspired the men
with personal loyalty note. He
knows the men. They know him as
the biggest shipbuilder in the world.
They know him as big steel man. He
knows the mechanics of the game, and
the men know he knows and respect
him for it. With Charles Piez, calm,
Judicial and administrative, they make
splendid team"
