~ diversion characterized the past
q = week in gay contrast to the more
or less uneventfnl calendars of the pre-
ceeding spring months, which have
been weekly checked off by a series
of informal gatherings, inspired for
the most part by patriotic cause of
one kind or another. Contributing a
thrilling dash of romance at the out
set of the week were the Steiner-Fry
nuptials, which taking place on the
eve of the bridegroom's departure for
Camp Fremont, at the close of his
weeks furl0ugh, were marked by a
decided military atmosphere.
Assuming large proportion of the
week s allotment of gayety was

Silvio Resnati of the Royal Italian
flying corps, who piloted the ten-pas-
senger Caproni biplane from Wash

PLANT LOOKS LIKE SHEEP
Singular Growth Resembles Animal So
Greatly as to Deceive Even an
Experienced Shepherd.

"Some Of the most singular plants
in the world" says writer in the
April Wide World, "are the vegetable
sheep of New Zealand These are
known to science as Raoulia eximia,
and although they are Of such
strange habit of growth they are mem
bers of the daisy tribe. The vegetable
sheep grow at high attitudes, usually
on some bleak mountain slope, which
may be 5000 feet above sea level. The
whole plant is a compact mass OF
stems densely covered with small
woolly leaves. So closely do the Raou-
las resemble sheep that experienced
shepherds will often climb long way
up the mountain thinking that they
see some missing member of their flock
huddled against rock, only to dis
cover that they have been deceived by
a plantl During a recent exhibition
at Christchurch, in New Zealand,
some specimens of the vegetable sheep
were collected for the show. The
plants are often large and heavy, and
it required the efforts Of half dozen
strong men to secure so:ae fine exam
pies of the RaOulias."

HUGHES HEADS PROBE
PRESIDENT NAMES FORMER RI
VAL TO AID INVESTIGATION.
Asks Quick Aircraft investigation and
Demands Prosecution of Any
Persons Found Guilty.

Washington, May IL. - President
Wilson has asked Charles e. Hughes
to assist Attorney General Gregory in
investigating the aircraft situation.
Mr.. Hughes has replied that he will
be glad to assist.
Correspondence between the presi-
dent and Mr.. Hughes was made pub
lie here. The president said the inn
portance of the aviation service war
ranted an investigation with as little
delay as possible.
In asking Mr.. Hughes to help in the
Investigation the president said:
"You have doubtless noticed that
very serious charges Of dishonesty
have been made in connection with
the production Of aircraft.
Because of the capital Importance
of this branch of the military service
/ feel that these charges should be
thoroughly investigated and with as
little delay as possible in order that
the guilty, If there be any such, may
be promptly and vigorously prosecuted
and that the regulations OF those
whose actions have been attacked may
be protected in case the charges are
groundless.
81 requested the department Of JUS
tice to use every fundamentally at
it's disposal to investigate these charges
and, with the approval Of the attorney
general, I am writing to beg that you
will act with him in making this in
vestigation. / feel that this is mat
ter of the very greatest Importance
and sincerely hope that you will feel
that it is possible to continue your
very valuable service in studying and
passing upon the questions involved. ("
Mr.. Hughes replied that he would
arrange his affairs to enter upon the
inquiry with as little delay as posi-

DOOR OPEN TO PEACE
ENGLAND WILL LISTEN TO REAL
PROPOSALS.
3alfour Declares Vienna Made Peace
Move to Both France
and England.

London, May 1S.-Great Britain is
prepared to consider proposals from
the enemy, provided they are put for
ward by accredited persons in a
straightforward manner, Foreign Sec
rotary Balfour declared on Thursday
in the house of commons.
IF any representative Of any bel
hgerent country desires seriously to
lay before us any proposals." he said,
we are ready to listen to Them"
The British government was desir-
Gus of an honorable termination of the
war, he added, but the peace moves
Of the central powers heretofore had
not been in the interests of fair and
honorable peace. Mr.. Balfour dis
cussed at length the peace pleas which
Emperor Charles of Austria wrote to
his brother-in-law, Prince Sixtus Of
Bourbon, and which were submitted to
the French and British governments.
The subject was brought up by the
pacifists and advocates Of peace by ne
gOtiation.
There was no evidence now or at
any time, he added, that German gov
eminent circles contemplated the pos
sibility of what tive should regard as
reasonable peace-a peace which
would secure the freedom Of the world
and freedom for those who are in dam
ger of German domination"
He held no secrets from President
Wilson, Mr.. BalfOur said. Every
thought he had on the war or the
diplomacy connected with the war was
as open to President Wilson as to any
other human being.
He did not think it possible for
Great Britain and the United States
to carry on the great work in which
they were engaged or to deal with the
complicated problems of today with
out complete confidence, and SO far
as he was concerned, complete conf
dence would always be given.

Vessel Carrying Prisoners Leaves
KingstoWn for Holy Head,
Wales.
SITUATION WELL IN HAND
Desperate EIeventh-Hou Attempt to
Turn Tables on Government Made
by Crowd Of Masked Men
Little BIoodshed Reported.

London, May 21.-A vessel carry
ing 70 Sim Fein prisoners left Kings
town, Ireland, says Dublin dispatch
to the Central News Agency. 1t IS
understood the ship is proceeding TO
Holy Head, Wales. A large crowd
cheered as the ship departed, but the
demonstrators were dispersed quickly.
The government at last accounts
had the Irish situation well in hand.
A desperate eleventh-hOur attempt
to turn the tables on the government
forces was made by Sim Feiners IN
County Tyrone while Viscount
French's dragnet was gathering in QUO
men and woman conspirators IN the
German-Irish revolt plot.
A crowd of masked men stormed
Barncourt castle, the seat of the duke
of Albercourt, and made an unsuccess-
full search for arms.
There has been scarcely any blood
shed in the island-wide roundup OF
plotters. Except for the abortive raid
of Barncourt castle, the only disturb
ances reported so far took place at
Skibbereen, where seven Sim Fem
ers resisted constabulary forces.
One Of the protestants is reported
to have been shot in the arm. Troops
are guarding the government build
ings and railways in Cork.
The Observer, commenting on the
Irish situation, says:
"A grave step has been taken In
Ireland for grave reasons. Friday
morning Professor De Valera, presi-
dent of the Sim Fein party, and many
other extremists were arrested.
"The reason is that these avowed
separatists and pro-Germans have
once more been in reasonable touch
with the enemy, despite the leniency
with which they were treated after the
last Dublin outbreak.
I'm view of Admiral Won Capelle's
assertion that Germany is assured for
years to come of steady supply of
U-boats which never cease their eff
forts to get in touch with the Sim
Feiners and separatists, this repeated
treason must be put down with an
unfiinching hand.
IAN organized nationalist attempt
is being made to mislead and preju-
dice American opinion with regard to
the Irish situation This attempt will
undoubtedly be continued unless it
is met with stern and cool discrimina-
ton across the Atlantic.
'John Dillon, the Irish nationalist
leader, and his friends have made
themselves responsible for a malevo-
lent manifesto. 1t asserts that the
British government is not sincere in
it's intentions with regard to the home
rule bill and that the British policy
is failing in its promise to Ireland.
1--WE hope that President Wilson and
the people of the United States will
not be mislead by the Dillon manifesto.
We hope they will set themselves fully
to understand what the British policy
In Ireland really is.
ct is a plain thing and an honest
thing and is the only thing compatible,
on the one side, with the war inter
ests Of the allies, while, on the other
side, tending steadily to reconcile two
breeds and creeds.
without that, Ireland, in wasting
and barren agitation, will plunge from
one unsettlement to another and there
will be no health in her.
