The prisoners exercise in grounds in
closed by iron ratings, "but in no.
wise resembling cages in geological

derground by the Americans, the Irish
Secretary says, are reception cells in
which prisoners are put pending med

they have capacity of s2a cubic feet,

The British Chief Secretary declares
that the prisoner William Sears, de-

Charges False, Says
EeIand's Secretary

LONDON, June 17.-A detailed and
specific reply to the report on condi-
tions in Ireland made recently by
Frank P. Walsh and Edward F. Dunno,
American representatives of Irish So
cieties in the United States, was is
sued to-day from Dublin Castle by
James Ian Macpherson, Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland. In dealing with the
general charge of cruelties inflicted on
prisoners the statement says:
"Such statements are absolutely de-
void Of foundation. They are similar
to statements recklessly made in con-
nection with the treatment of Sim
Fein prisoners in Belfast prison, where
the government appointed a judicial
committee to investigate the charges
thoroughly. The commission found
there was not word of truth in these
statements"
All prisoners, the statement says,
are in properly equipped cells, lighted
and heated by hot water pipes, while
the prisoners are supplied with books.

List of Alleged Atrocities
That Passed British Censor
Is Given to the Public bv
the Friends of Freedom
President Gets Document
Summary Recites That 1924
Instances of Aggression
Occurred in Year 1918

BY special messenger from ireland,
the Friends Of Irish Freedom in this
city received yesterday detailed
story of the alleged atrocities commit
ted by the English authorities in Ire
land in 1917 and 1918. This document,
made public last night by Diarmuid
Lynch, national secretary of the
Friends of Irish Freedom, is to be sup
plemented to-day by the names of the
victims, who, in some instances, were
men elected to seats in the Irish Par
lament. The report has been placed in
the hands of President Wilson and Sec
retary Lansing.
The document contains this explana-
tion: "The period taken to exemplify
the good government of Ireland con-
sists of the years 1917-191S. This Sc
lection is made for two reasons. First.
that this statement may definitely dis
prove that usual suave explanation Of
English statesmen that not they but
their grandfathers prosecuted Ireland;
second, because in the years mentioned.
the English government, under whose
direction the atrocities to be cited were
committed, was loudest in it's lamenta-
tions over the oppression of subject
peoples"
Censor Passed Charges
Every statement made, it was further
explained, was by special injunction
submitted to the English censor, which
acts attributed to the English are
therefore admitted by them. No Of
fences against the criminal code ar,
mentioned in the Irish indictment of
English persecution, but only the acts
against persons. "Innocent of any
crime save that of championing the
freedom of their own nation against
a power which seems to be opposed to
the very existence of the Gaelic
people"
A summary of the English police
activity in Ireland in 1917. which is
part of the document, shows that the
total alleged violations against the Irish
numbered 719 and included thirty-six
courts martial, three suppressiors of
newspapers, twenty four deportations,
eleven raids and eighteen baton and
bayonet charges.
"This table," the statement con-
tinues, will surprise any who live
outside of Ireland. To those who live
in Ireland, who see men seized in the
public streets, deported without even
charge being brought against them,
sentenced by enemy officers, to those
who live among these daily incidents
such totals of hostile acts will seem in
adequate"
Another summary of 1918 of acts of
aggression against the Irish, which
New-York tribune., 1919-06-18

also is part Of the Irish statement
contains a list of 1924 such acts, in
Guiding 26O raids, eighty-one baton and
hayonet charges and the suppression of
twelve papers. Some specific instances
are quoted, as follows:
Many Instances Cited
Baton and bayones charges have
since actually occurred in public halls
where there was no way Of escape for
the assaulted people. On April 8,
1918, the police batoned the people of
Dungaryan who were gathered in the
local courthouse to hear the trial of
a political prisoner. On March "a
English soldiery broke into q school
house at Carragaholt, County Clare,
and attacked with bayonets a number
of young men who were using the
place as a reading-room. 1t was in
this grewsome incident that Thomas
Russell was mortally wounded. In
Cork City and in the counties of
Kerry, Glare and Tipperary other men
have been killed in the public streets
by police force whose pretence it is
to keep the peace. In all the eighty
one baton and bayonet charges which
occurred in Ireland in 1918 there
must have been many thousands of
people injured. In cities the hospitals
are often crowded after one of these
attacks. These raids are often spe-
cially organized to strike the terror of
English might into the hearts of the
people"

VOn M0Itke's Memoirs
Barred Till after Peace

DARIS, June 1.-THE German gov
ernment, reports say, has forbid
den the publication of the memoirs
of the late Lieutenant General Won
Moltke, chief of the general staff at
the outbreak of the war. It is said
the memoirs would produce an un-
favorable impression in Germany
with regard to the question of war
responsibility.
The general, it is said, severely
criticises the policy Of Germany dur
ing the period prior to the war. One
newspaper here says that a diplo-
mat who read the forbidden book de-
clared that the publication of the
work was stopped for the same rea-
son the German government post
poned the publication of official docu-
ments.
1t is said the memoirs will be pub
lished after the treaty is signed.

for further consideration that part of
it by which it is proposed to make US

the Senate, the co-equal partner in the
treaty making power of the United

the whole people Of the United States
ardentiy wish-peace, immediate, per-
manent peace. Six long, weary months
have been consumed by the peace con-
ference at Paris in merely drawing the
peace terms that are to be forced upon
our enemies; six long, weary months
Of secret quibbling, bartering and quar-
reling. There have been times when 1t
seemed that we nations who entered
the conference sworn friends would
leave it bitter enemies, and this un-
happy contingency is not yet put from
US. To the six months must be added
another during which our crushed and
fallen enemies have been considering
whether or not, at the penalty of an
invasion and occupation of their terri
tory, they would sign the treaty so
drawn. And still we wait.
Status of War Still
Exists, He Contends
meanwhile Europe is in turmoil, to
the point of anarchy and chaos. Our
own country remains in a status OF
war, under irksome laws inimical to
our freedom. Influences hostile to our
government and it's institutions thrive
and propagate; Socialists, Bolsheviki
and anarchists fead. fatten and. grow
to threatening proportions on the fcars
of the people. The people themselves
are torn by uncertainties and dread,
and industry and commerce lag and
wait. We must, sir, have peace, wise
and permanent peace, and to get this
hor
ate as we'll as the wisdom of the Ex-
ecutive.
Senators have asked me to desig-
nate those features Of the treaty which
justify this arraignment. l hasten to
give some of them, sufficient to demon
strate that the charge as drawn is
true.
"As the covenant is now framed it
contains the pernicious provisions en-
bodied in Article 10, which are de-
signed to fix through all time-and
merit is made Of this purpose of the
provision--the boundaries set up by
the treaty of peace. 1t is no secret
that these boundaries are already,
though not yet fixed other than in
contemplation, the subject of serious
Piles are objecting to their disposition
by this treaty, which once more hands
them about as mere pawns in game
of chess, and those who are so OBJ
jecting are not our sworn enemies
over whom we stand victors, but our
friends, our allies, our equals in this
undertaking and in their rights to
enjoy the benefits of it's happy fruition
No matter what may be the desire of
these discontented peoples, in the
future, no matter what race afinities
may be hereafter worked out, no mat
ter what their real interest may de-
mand or a wise statesmanlike handling
of their affairs would counsel, their
boundaries stand fixed, subject to re-
adjustment under such covenant pro-
cedure as would make futile any hope
Of change.
Gould any scheme more 'oblitera-
tive of legitimate race and national
aspirations be conceived?
New-York tribune., 1919-06-18
Scheme Called Unfair
To Smaller Nations

Moreover, word has, within the last
week, come from Paris that, upon COM
plant of certain of the smaller Balkan
powers, as to provisions Of the treaty
affecting them, our Chief Executive
has warned them that it was proposed
under the covenant 80 to control their
domestic affairs that minorities within
their jurisdiction should be handled
as the league saw fit and not as the
states themselves might deem expedi-
ent. In other words, the proposal is
to set up this league as a mentor over
the small nations of the earth, with
power to compel them to do as the
league wishes, to travel along the
roads that the league points out and
to reach that destiny alone to which
the league consents. Is not such a
plan sufficiently Oppressive Of weak
nations and peoples?
"1n this connection it may be we'll
worth while to have in mind the an
nouncement from Paris that our Presi-
dent has declared the Irish question
the political dynamite Of the whole
Anglo-Saxon race-might properly be
the subject of consideration by the
league when established. BY parity
of reasoning it may be contended that
the negro question of the United States
-for~we have such a question, vital,
farreaching and ominous-might re-
ceive like consideration.
~ have already on previous occa-
sion taken the time of the Senate in
pointing out that the league plan, as
first proposed, not only did not abol-
ish or prevent wars, but sanctioned
and commanded them, thus giving the
lie to the hope of the people that the
covenant was to make future wars i'm
possible. I have shown how it strikes
down our great constitutional princi-
Piles, bulwarks of our protection; how
it robs US of our most vital attributes
of sovereignty and threatens our in
dependenca and life
New-York tribune., 1919-06-18
Withdrawal Provision
Decalred Contradictory

"One further point and l shall have
enumerated all which the necessities of
the present occasion seem to require
that l shall mention. The criticism
levelled at the first draft-that it pro-
vided no method by which a member
once party to the league could with
draw therefrom-has been met in the
new draft by provision that ANY
member of the league may, after two
years notice of it's intention so to do,
withdraw from the league. Provided,
that all its international obligations
and all its obligations under this COW
enant shall have been fulfilled at the
time of its withdrawal
at is difficult to believe, Mr.. Presi-
dent, that there is not here some error
In wording; that those who drafted the
provision have failed to understand the
meaning of the negotiators; for it
would be hard to draw provision
which purporting to give a right to
withdraw should at the same time
make withdrawal SO completely and
absolutely impossible. No nation may
withdraw unless at the time of it's
withdrawal, notified two years in ad-
vance, all of its international obliga-
tions and of it's obligations under this
covenant shall have been fulfilled, and
the party who determines the question
of fulfllment or not fulfllment is the
league itself from which the nation is
to withdraw.
care we or are we not entitled to
time to deliberate whether it is wise
that we tie ourselves in convenant
which so completely binds US to the
will or whim of other partners? for it
must always be remembered in respect
of these things that affirmative action
by the counci]-and release from the
league would, l take it, be affirmative
action-must be unanimous, and any
one power in the council, whatever it's
motive and whatever its ends, might
under this provision as it stands make
US permanent members of the league,
our will to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
The covenant now proposed calls
upon US to abandon these principles
which he thus laid down and under
which we have prospered. Is it an un-
reasonable request to ask that before
they be discarded we shall have time
to weigh the consequences and discover
so far as possible the end of the new
path we are about to begin to tread?
ITO deny hearing in cause is con-
trary to fundamental principles of
Anglo-Saxon law. To deny a hearing
IN this cause is to give substance to the
suspicion already abroad in the land
that those to whom we gave our sons
and our substance in the hour of their
need and distress are now, in adjusting
1heir terms of peace with the Central
Powers, attempting to force upon US
the harsh alternative of choosing, on
the one hand, between treaty of
peace with which is intertwined de-
nationalizing covenants relating to the
distinctly separate subject of league
OF nations, or upon the other hand
the necessity Of concluding a separate
peace or continuing a status of war.
We must not increase the already
growing distrust by any deliberate act
Of ours"
