Opinion in Paris is much divided as
TO what were the real objects of the
recent meeting OF the rulers of the
central empires. Most of the German
papers indicate that the principal sub

of Poland, while the Austrian papers,
on the other hand assert that me two

IRISH LOVE FOR HUNS.
Pro German Sentiment illustrated in
O'Reily Incident.

Dublin. July 10.-(By MaiD-A re-
markable story illustrating pro-Ger
man sentiment in Ireland was told at
the Cavan Assizes. Sergeant O'Reily,
of the Royal Dublin F'usliers, had fought
at Mons where he was made prisoner
by the Germans. After three years as
a prisoner of war he was returned to
Ireland and stated that Irish prisoners
who could not be induced by Sir Roger
Easement to accept the German offers
had their rations cut Down and were
subjected TO torture.
This interview, as was given IN evI,
dence, caused local hostility against the
sergeant, because 1t was IAN unkind as
persion on the German" whom the Irish
neighbors of O'Reily described as de
cent people" The indignation resulted
in the burning Of the sergeant's dwell
ling house and furniture and the case
came before the court to assess dam
