The Democrats have a membership
in the House OF only POS.

"Betrayed by Wilson's Men"

ny >
"The substance OF it all is that the
betrayal OF the information about the
shipload of arms by Wilson's men,
enabled the English to catch the YES
sci. There is no doubt at all about
this. They got in the raid on Won
ISers office a note OF mine-the trans
cript of a message received in cipher
from Dublin and wirelessed to Berlin
the day befOre-April Ia request
not to land the arms before the night
of Sunday 23rd' That was its mean
ing but il used the word goods II
was at once given to the English and
they sent out their patrol boats and
caught the ship. Then they sent
troops to Tralee and re-enforced Lime
rick
That would not have spoiled the
rising, because il they were in the
field other shipments would have
been sent. Easement did the rest.
He landed on Friday and sent a mess
age to Mcneil to stop it; that it was
hopeless, etc. Mcneil got it Satur-
day, and issued his cOuntermand.
He got one message up to Montieth
who, of course, was obeyinE orders,
and sent another by a priest, for
whom he sent after his arrest Nc
Neil had only been told OF the decision
on Good Friday, which was a great
mistake. He was at first shocked,
but on hearing OF the shipload OF
and Kerry men got word to him OF
the sinking OF the ship, and that,
with the request from Roger, decided
him and he issued the fatal order and
took care that it reached everybody.
Easement "ImpractIcaL.'
From our experience Of a year
of his utter impracticability-he had
been assuring us till we were sick
that there was no hope for the poor
old woman until the next war-we
sent with the first note from home
that we transmitted to Berlin a re-
quest that r. be asked to remain
there to take care OF Irish interests
We knew he would NEEDLE in his
honest but visionary way to such an
extent as to spoil things, but we did
not dream that he would ruin every .
thing, as he has done.
He took no notice whatever OF de |
cisions or instructions, but without |
pursued HIS own dreams. |
The last letter ! got from him, writ |
ten last December, said the only hope |
now Of making a demonstration that |
would impress the world was by |
sending sixty men to a place where |
they could do nothing. We had told |
him nearly a year before that we |,
could not consent to this. but he took |
no notice. He was obsessed with the l
idea that he was a wonderful leader I
and that nothing could be done with :
out him. His letters always kept me |
awake on the night OF the day / got |
them. Miss r. says that he told Duffy |
that the Germans treated US shame
fully and that he had hard work TO |
get a few arms that were on that /
ship: that they were no good. etc

Russians to overTun East Prussia
with and to drive the Austrians across |
the Carpathians. and II our fellows
