THE IRISH SITUATION,

Every Irishman in this country, if he be true and loyal American, will condemn heartily the action of the conspirators in the Ger11lan plot to land troops in Ireland. Most of the Irishmen, who by their connection With this plot, have caused their own arrest, also had a hand in the last Dublin uprising, and it is surprising that they have not changed their minds and their attitude since then In view of numerous disclosures which have shown the duplicity and untrustW orthiness of Germany and of German rulers, it is astonishing that intelligent persons such as those who have just been apprehendedi Il Ireland. persist in maintaining relations with the Germans. If they thought only of themselves, it is difficult to under stand what they hoped to receive from Germany. Surely nothing good Germany never gave away anything yet unless it was destined to serve some ulrGTlOr G0fman purpose. What did they expect? Were they foolish enough to believe if Germany sent her troops to Ireland's shores that she did so for the purpose of setting Ire land free? Then let them behold Russia and Finland today and see what German military domination in a country means.
 Those persons mixed up in this lat est plot will find no sympathy in Am erica, al least among REAL Ameri- cans. They do not represent Ireland, either. The Ireland which we all re- spect and admire is not a country which approves of the methods to which they resort. And those of Irish blood in this country will be the first to avow that they have no connection and no association with the men and women in Ireland who must now stand trial for treason.

SMALLLABOR UNITS FOR WORK ON FARMS
Manufacturers Favor Arrange
 ment to Release Employes

Hartford, May 20.-A summary of the replies received from Connecticut manufacturers to a letter outlining a plan for using their employees for part time labor when most needed on the farms. has been made by Allen B. Lincoln, associate director of the United States Employment Service. by which the plan was taken up at the suggestion of the Connecticut State Council of Defense. Nearly all express. first, that they face a labor shortage; second, that the small unit plan is both wise and practical; and third. the acknowledgm ment that labor, must be diverted by this means to solve the problem of food produc- ton.
 "The manufacturers realize the i'm" portance of the agricultural situa- tion," said Mir Lincoln in summariz- ing the letters he has received "Thev wish to render all the aid in their power. although already overtaxed and unable to get the labor actually needed ir their plants, especially those engaged in government work. .
 "They do net see how they can release help to the farms in largo number, but when they realize they
 
 ber of their help at one time, but small units each day as needed the. plan meets with their whole hearted approval. Under the emergency plan the great majority of the em- ployees of the individual factory re- main at their regular work and will come to some agreement to make up the full quota of production for the few fellow workers who are out on the farms.
 With the conviction that the plan can be worked out successfully and in view of the threatened food short age. the manufacturers are of the opinion that it must he done. In many cases employers and employees are taking immediate hold of the plan of the Connecticut Manufacturers as- sociation for cooperation with the farmers of their community and are showing enthusiastic support. II seems likelX that iii many communi- ties the farmers will secure needed help in this way"

A LESSON.

We have noticed in several contenl- poraries of lat, suggestions to the Ad- ministration that Theodore Roosevelt be appointed to some important of flee connected with war work. They point out that the President has done well by asking William H. Taft, Charles E. Hughes, and Charles Schwab to help their country in these critical times and insist that a man with Rooscve1t's qualifications should also be given something to do.
 While it would be foolish to deny that Mir Roosevelt possesses great executive ability, that in itself does not constitute reason for appointing him to an important war office, and inasmuch as he would be just as apt to refuse a minor post as MT. Wilson would be to assign him one, it is diff 1cult to see just where he could fit in The men who have already re- ceived assignme ents have proven themselves at all times determined to
 
 Government in conducting the war MT. Roosevelt, on the other hand, has seen fit more than once to assaii the Administration most bitterly because the war was not being carried on as he would have it. While we do not approve of playing politics" at a time like this it seems to us that it would be impossible for those who are in office at the present time to work in harmony with MT. Roosevelt just now. If he has been sincere in his criticism, it is clear that his views are incompatible with those of MT. Wilson's and his advisers on many vital points, and to appoint him to a war post would be to invite discord which is to be avoided above all things today. The Government needs big men, and can use them, but it would appear inadvisable to appoint a man like MT. Roosevelt to an tn1- portant position unless he can adjust his viewpoint to that of the Adminis- tration.
 welt changing his opinion to conform with anybody else's, and hence we cannot figure out just how the Gov crment can find use for him.

He was found unconscious in Suffield, Sunday. Cap left New Brit ain month ago.
 The case of Mrs. Annie Kozak. who is at the New Britain General hospi- tai with her infant child, is a dis tressing one. She became ill on the street and was taken to the hospital. Several months ago her husband de- serted her and she had to go to work on a tobacco farm in East Hartford and she was on her way to Water bury, where she formerly lived when she became i'll.
 To avoid striking a little girl whose name was not learned, Joseph Gu towski of Ivoryton ran his auto against the curb on Beaver street

QuigIey's Strength. (Ha r,tfnrd Times

The Hartford Sunday Globe prints statement, commenting on the po- litlcal situation in the First Congress slonal district, and which makes this reference to the political talk among republicans in New Britain:
 Down New Britain way they
 are trying to figure it out that
 because Mayor Quigley pulled
 through and Frank Hagarty was
 defeated there is nothing to it
 this fall but the nomination of
 Quigley for congress, and that he
 Is the only man who can pos
 sibly defeat Lonergan.
 The wisdom of the republican sem timent in New Britain does not ap- peal to the writer in the Globe. who says quite irreverently of it:
 This is the sort of political
 dope and bunk for which the re-
 publican party is famous. It is
 the sort of political dope that
 has spelled defeat for it at the
 polls on so many occasions that
 a few people have lost count and
 do not care enough about 1t to
 try to post up.
 The friends of Mayor Quigley are claiming that the delegates favor
 
 the congressional convention. They say that the delegates from the Seventh Senatorial district will be for him to a man. This district consists of eleven towns and is the largest in the county. While it's delegates can not control the convention if has 8 leader who cannot be dsregarded. It is conceded that MT. Quigley will have the votes from his own Sena- torial district, which is co-extensive with the city of which he is the mayor. But this is reported to be the extent of the absolute strength of Mayor Quigley at the present time. It cannot be left out of the reckoning, but it is not sufficient to secure the nomination for New Britain's execu- tive. It is known that strong pres sure is being brought to bear on the republican leaders of Hartford to favor the ambition of MT. Quigley to represent the district in congress. but the leaders have not yet shown disposition to yield to it.
 Notwithstanding the discouraging effect which the result of the recent city election has had in republican quarters 1t Is still probable that the republican candidate for congress this year in the First district will be resident Of Hartford. Whoever he may be, and whatever part of the district he may hail from, the repub- lican nominee will lead a forlorn hope when he will have opposed to him. as the candidate of the democ- racy, the present congressman. Au- gustine Lonergan.
