DILLON'S DISCLOSURE

The emphatic statement Of John
Dillon. who has succeeded 10 the lead
ership. of the late John Redmond, OF
the Irish National Party. that the Sim
Fein owes most Of its activities 10 The
! financial support it has been receiving
from New York. is rather Significant
taken In connection with the recent
announcement by the United States
government of the discovery OF IN
Irish connection with pro-German
plot in this country. These worthy
conspirators were Matching Il scheme
! TO give aiG and comfort 10 4 Sim fcin
revolution which was TO be sprung al
critical time on the western front,
which would distract and weaken the
British defensive.
| 1t is quito likely that the money
sent from New. York for the Slim Fem
ers has been furnished in large part
by tho German propagandiSts. The
connection between the Sim Fein lead
erS and German agents OF the Kaiser
has been clearly established, and there
is little doubt but what the same
agencies were working the same game
with Sim Fein Sympalhizcrs in this
country. II is 10 the credit Of the rank
and file OF the Irish-Ameritan citizen
~ that they have refused to endorse
the anarchistic and traitofous machi-
nations Of The Sim Fem organization,
which is working moro hahn to the
Home Rule cause in Ireland Than good.
The Irish in this country and the in
! telligent American citizenship are in
deep sympathy with the aspirations of
the Nationalist party. and have the
fullest confidence in the leadership of
John Dillon. but they absolutely repu-
diate the impossible Sim Fein agita-
tors of revolution and worse.

coRRoBoRATIVE EVIDENCE

The other day, in the House of Rep.
resentativeS. the Democratic floor lead
er, Mr.. Kitchin. referred to the singu-
lar inability OF the New York World
TO state facts. OF convey correct i'm
preston Of the most trivial incidents.
This was a surprising indictment by
Democrat Of a paper considered to
be the organ of the administration.
Recently, however, Mr., kitchin's view
of that paper had a, concrete vindica-
ton in the following editorial declare
ton of The World. which said: "a
year ago if men like Charles NJ.
Schwab. John ID. Ryan and Edward R.
Stettinius had been put in charge Of
great war activities Of the United
States government and vested with
powers equal to thos" Of members CT
the cabinet, the country would have
been rocked with protests
This statement is in glazing con-
trast with The facts. and obviously d
poor attempt 10 conceal In" short COM
ings of The administration. y year ago
the business and patriotic sense of the
country WAS protesting against the
policy of appointments that was de:
priving the public of the national ser
vices in places requiring tn" great bus.
mess capacity which such men are
known to possess. Mr. Schwab's name
especially was citcu in such protests
as the type Of man the country needed
10 organize and push the industrial
branches of the war work.
The fortunate, if rather belatcd, ap-
pointment of such men in place Of the
former square pegs that the admins
tration had tried to fit into round holes
is i'll large measure the result of those
protests of the very criticism which
some Democratic papers are still dis.
posed 10 decr!' as partisan. although
much of it came from such members
of the administration party as Sela-
TOT Chamberlain.
