President Wilson refused to see the
Irish delegates at New York last
night as long as Judge Cohalan was
a member of the delegation. The
president was right in snubbing this
man, who wrote to Count Won Berns-
torff, German ambassador to the
United States, who was plotting to
murder American workmen and sink
American ships, urging that the Ger
mans send Zeppelins to lombard Lon
don and said: "The revolution in
Ireland can only be successful it sup
ported from Germany" In other
words the Irish revolution could only
succeed if Germany succeeded and
Germany could not succeed unless the
United States, France and England
were defeated, and the United States
is the home of Judge Cohalan in
which he holds an important judicial
position. If the American people
would follow President Wilson's ex-
ample and frown upon and snub Ger
man sympathizers these would have
to leave the United States.
