Tennesseeans Protest to Dillon
Against Nationalist Opposition.
Chattanooga, Tenn, April 15.-At
a mass meeting Of representative
Irishmen and citizens Of Irish lineage
here yesterday afternoon, resolution
protesting against the attitude of the
nationalist leaders in Ireland toward
CONSUMPTION was passed and a copy
cabled to John Dillon, nationalist lead
CT, in parliament.
The tenor of the address and reso-
lutions was to the effect that all ques-
tions Of home rule and other matters
affecting Ireland must be subordinat-
ed to the more pressing duty Of pre-
serving liberty and civilization.
T. P. McMahon, one of the speak
ers, said the people of Ireland were
being misled by traitors and German
propagandists- Mn. Mcmahon said
it was just as much, the duty of Irish
men to stand behind Lloyd George as
it.~as for 1rishmen in this country to
back President Wilson.

CHARLES WROTE TO POPE.
Classed With Letter TO Sixtus as "Yast
Peace Offensive"

Rome, April 15.-Thc Italian press,
commenting on the controversy that
has arisen between the French pre-
mier, NJ. Clemenceau, and the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister, Count
Czernin, insists that at the time En-
peror Charles wrote to Prince Sixtus
Of Bourbon, another letter was sent
to the Pope.
The Idea Nazionale says that the
second letter was designed to complete,
as relating to Italy, the first letter as
relating to FRANCE, and had for its
object invoking the Intervention of the
Holy See in favor of peace.
The Tribuna says that it was all a

FULFILLING PROPHECY.

New York, April 15.-Failurc of
the latest German drive in Flanders

Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, in an
address here Saturday night before
the National Democratic Club.
The chief speaker at the clubs eel

Thomas Jefferson, Secretary Daniels

PARIS SHELLED IN DARK.
French Have Located Super-Gun and
Germans Do Not Try to Hide 1t.

Paris, April 15.-Paris was SUBJ
iected Saturday night to its first noe
turnal bombardment since the long
range Smelling began, the lombard
ment being resumed late IN the night,
No casualties had been reported as
the result of the after-dark shelling
up to shortly before noon yesterday.
Saturdays bombardment did not causr
any casualties.
Yesterdays bombardment Of the
Paris region was opened shortly after
3 o'clock this afternoon.
The beginning of nocturnals is at
tributed to the fact that the Germans
now know that the French have locat-
ed exactly the long-range gun, so thar
there is no longer any necessity of re-
framing from nighttime firing les;
the flare of the explosion should be.
tray the guns position.
Reports up to mid-afternoon still
fail to show any casualties resulting
from the first nights bombardment.
while the material damage was insig-
nificant. This negative result is like
ly to prove a further disappointment
TO The Germans, as revealing that the
nocturnal Smelling is no improvement
from their viewpoint on the day bonn
bardmcnts, which they have tried to
time so that the shells would reach
the capital at hours when the streets
were most crowded. These were the
morning hours, when the people were
going to work; the midday period
when lunch was being taken, and the
early evening, when the workers were
going home.
The general effect of the long range
bomba2dment seems to have been
negative so far as the Partisan morale
is concerned. There is admiration for
the accomplishment of the uncXpect-
ed, but no panic over the result which
may be attained.

DRY LAW TO BE TESTED.
Wet Goods, Stalled in Transit te
Washington, Seized.

Hyattsville, Nd, April 15.-sixty-
two and one-half cases of whisky OF
various brands, ten gallons and two
cases of beer are stored in a shed in
rear of the home of William 7. Casey,
Maryland avenue, over which guard
watches, charged to shoot any one
attempting to interfere with it. The
liquor was taken from large truck
by Deputy Sheriff Garrison yester-
day when he made search of Cascy's
premises. The truck was stalled near
Riyerdale on the Washington-Balti-
more boulevard Saturday night and
Mr.. Casey lowed it in. The driver
did not leave his name, and so the
warrant was against John Doc.
At least two of the cases of whisky
were addressed to a Washington adj
dress and marked "for personal USE"
There was no indication as TO the
owner Of the truck.
Judge Fillmore Beall, in his charge
to the grand jury at the April term
Of the circuit court at Marlboro, called
attention to reports of persons trans
porting liquors through the county
from Baltimore to Washington and
intimated that the court would like to
have the prohibition law of Prince
Georges county tested. The law pre-
scribcs that no person shall have in
his possession in the county more
than one quart Of whisky or more
than twelve pints of beer. Whether
this affects citizens Of the county only,
or applies to all persons is the point
to bs determined.
Hundreds of cases of whisky and
large quantities Of beer are taken
from Baltimore to Washington
through Prince Georges county every
week, it is said, but this is the first
case that has come under the obser-
yation Of the county authorities.

WANT FLANDERS COAST.
Hertling Offered to Resign Unless
Pan-German Policy Prevailed.

Amsterdam, April l5.-The Tage-
lisch Rundsschau, of Berlin, a copy Of
which has been received here, contains
a story that Count Won Hcrtling, the
German imperial chancellor, broke of
relations with Matthias Erzbcrger,
leader of the Catholic centrists in the
reichstag, and threatened to resign
when informed by the leaders of the
majority party that they adhered to
their resolution for peace without an
ncxations or indemnities.
Sections of the majority party, the
newspaper adds, thereupon decided to
accept the governments new program
for incorporating French territory
and the coast of Flanders into the
German empire and levying large war
indcmnities on the western powers.
The majority socialists also have ac-
copied the program of annexations,
says the newspaper.
The Taegliscne Rundschau also de-
ciares that Herr Erzbergcr in 1917,
during the regime of Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, made peace offer
to the enemy through Dutch journal
list. This offer, the paper says,
amounted to a plea for peace at any
price.
Chancellor Won Hertling now re-
fuses to receive Herr Erzbergcr, the
newspaper asserts.
