THE ENGLISH DIPLOMAT AND THE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

The hand of the English Diplomat in the League
OF Nations is thus exposed by the article appearing
in the New York World, December g. It shows that
England made her plans for the re-conquest of
America months before the great world war had
ended Says the World:
For year before Colonel House went abroad,
in September 1913, to arrange the prelimnares for
Conference he had been on intimate terms
with some of the most capable of trained British
diplomats Not the least resouceful of these was
Sir William Wiseman, adept in diplomatic
oped to the maximum dimension, good mixer and
a most agreeable companion under any and all
circumstances.
'Wiseman knew Washington and New York as
well as London, Paris and Berlin. It was therefore
inevitable in the eternal fitness of things diplomatic,
that he should be sent to the United States to look
out for British interests :

newspapers dare publish the fact that I had sub
scrlbed. We are living under martial law and
amongst the numerous devices to which our present
government has had recourse in its foolish attempts
to crush the national spirit of people, is the ssu-
ing of sundry military orders. In one of these they
have given notice to the editors managers of our
popular newspapers to the effect that the fate of
any newspaper venturing to publish the name of
any of the contributors to the fund, the amount
contributed, will be immediate suppression.

interest that Your Emnence takes in our Irish ma
tional AFFAIRS and the powerful help that you have
given to people in their effort to secure their
rightful control of the government of their own

Freedom of the press, the right of public meeting
the right of personal liberty the right of trial by
jury no longer exist in this country except in so far
as they exist subject to the absolutely uncon-
troled discretion OF military authority. All this
has had its natural efect-the driving of dsaffec-
ton from underground the no less natural
result that disaffection finds outlet in crime
The competent military authorities do not seem
to realize that there is possible remedy for this
amentable state of things so long as the source of
all the evil, the present system of military rule in
Ireland, is maintained.
Apologizing for this intrusion, have the honor

Raymond G: Carroll, London correspondent of the
Phiadelpha Public Ledger, is the author of the
cable for which he. says he has 'high authority"
Hon. Michael ]. Ryan, of Philadelphia in the fol-
lowing statement, however, effectively explodes the
tale spun by the London scribe:
Raymond G. Carroll is at present the London
of the Philadelphia Public Ledger,
said Mr. Ryan. "In 1902 he was employed on the
philadelphia Record and while thus employed, Mr.
Carroll sent broadcast an of what purported
to be speech delivered by the late President Roose-
welt to the tranmen and workmen at the West Phil
adephia station of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
When the alleged speech was published, Mr.
Roosevelt denounced it as fake and forgery. AS
result, Mr.. Carroll was dismissed from the Phila-
delphia Record"
The cable, coming from such source" said Mr..
Ryan, calls for no further comment 1t is refab-
r,cat'on, spun for american consumption in the fur
therance of that British propaganda that stops at
nothing in its effort to brand the people of Ireland as
lawless bands of ruffians.
The case of Ireland and the justice of her claim
is now squarely and fairly before the American peo-
pie and no amount of manufactured news can blind
the people OF this country to the real issue involved
in the Irish question"

To James Madison,

The following is quotation from letter written
by General John Stark in reply to an invitation to
attend the lSO9 celebration of the Battle of Benning
ton The invitation was signed by Gideon Olin,
Jonathan Robinson and David Fay:
At my Quarters (then Derryfeld-now Manchester,
Derry6eld 3lst July, 1907 Qso9).
My Friend and Fellow Soldiers:
received yours of the 23rd inst In case of
my not being able to attend you wish my sentiments
These you shall have as free the air we breathe.
AS l was then l am now, the friend of the equal
rights of men, of representative democracy of re-
publlcanism, and the Declaration of independence,
the great charter of our national rights and, of
course, friend to the indissoluble union and the
constitution of the States l am the enemy of all
foreign influence, for all foreign influence is the in
Auence of tyranny. This is the only chosen spot of
Liberty, this is the only Republic on earth.
You know we'll, gentlemen, that at the time OF
the event you celebrate there powerful Brit
sh faction in this country (called Tories) mate
rial part of the force we contended with. This fac
ton ranking in councils, till it had laid
foundation for the subverson of our liberties But
by having good sentinels at outposts we were
apprised of Our danger; the sons of freedom beat
the ALARM and as at Bennington, they came they
saw, they conquered
These my orders now, and will be my last
orders to all my volunteers to look to their SEN
tries for there is dangerous British party in the
country lurking in their hiding places more danger

shall openly appear, let them render the same ac-

SIR WILLIAM >WISEMAN FIRST TAKES UP
RESIDENCE IN WASHINGTON.

HE first took up his residence in Washington,
where he conducted many negotiations affecting
matters arising out of the status of the United States
as neutral. These negotiations brought him into
contact with the State Department. He made very
favorable impression at the national capital.
after while officials there began to sense the
fact that Sir William paid rather more attention to
Col House in New York than he did to Secretary
Lansing at Washington Officials have told the
writer that Col. House frequently made extensive
use of the privileges conferred upon him by Presi-
dent Wilson to secure concessions sought by Sir
William Wiseman

MORE ABOUT THAT ULSTER
DELEGATION.

The New York World, December 9th, prints a
cable from Belfast Ireland which throws additional
light on that selfappointed Ulster delegation now in
this country to tell America why majority rule
should not obtain in Ireland on the question of in
dependence.
Especial Cable Despatch to The WORLDLY
Belfast Dec: 8.-The progress of the Ulster dele
CATION OF America is matched here with much curl
os,ty Inc americans who are asked to accept these
gentlemen as representing Irish Professionalism of all
denominations, or even the United Professionalism
ot Ulster should consider the circumstances of their
selection as we'll as their constitution.
a., lhey were not chosen at any public meeting Of
the creeds to which they belong but were selected
by the Belfast Orange clique, to which at least three
and probably four, of them belong
The only meeting called in connection with the
delegation was at the May Street Church here, and
TINS was to announce that the pastor of that church
had been selected to join the delegation This meet
ing consisted solely of Orangemen and Unionists
and none OF the numerous Protestant Liberals and
Home Rulers among the clergy was present or was
consulted. Any idea that all their corelgonists in
county Antrim, the biggest Protestant county in
Ulster, there is a we'll known district called ''the
rout, which comprises most of North Antrim
where seven-eighths of the Presbyterian ministers
are Liberals. The Liberal organ Of Ulster, Pres
byterian paper representative of the Liberal Prot
estants OF the whole province, has repudiated the
delegation, knowing, it says, that it's entire stock
IN trade will be the religious argument which Ulster
PROTESTANT , Liberals know to be false argument
The delegation consists of three Methodists
namely, the Rev. F. f. Harte, the Rev. c. w. Ma
guire both from Donegal Square Church. Belfast
and the Rev. r. Hazelton unattached; three Pres
6yterians, the Rev. Wylie Blue of the May Street
Church, Belfast; the Rev. William Corkey of the
Townsend Street Church, Belfast and "Billy"
Coote the Orange member for South Tyrone; and
one Episcopalian, the Rev. Louis Crooke, rector of
knockabreeda, Belfast.
The total number of Methodists in Ireland is
6S,382, or Ia per cent; the Presbyterians and all
other non-Cathoics of Ireland excepting the Epis-
copalians, number 526556, and have three members
on the delegation and the Episcopalians only one.
This misrepresentation of Methodists is because
the Methodsts body in America is known to be SO
powerful and the whole idea of the delegation, as
conceived by Lord Beaverbrook, is to n1ame Meth
odst feeling on religious grounds against Irelands
demand for Home Rule
The delegation, in fact, represents the only Sec
ton of Irish Professionalism which breaches and prac-
tices intolerance against their Catholic fellow cou-
trymen." S

WHO TONNAGE TAX WOULD HIT.

In that part of Minnesota where tonnage Tax
is advocated it is almost always found that such
desire to impose super tax the principal indus
try of Northern Minnesota is not backed by any
logical study of the question but is decision quick
ly arrived at and aimed principally at the United
States Steel Corporation which practically
all tonnage tax proponents believe to be the only
mine operator the three great iron ore ranges of
this state.
If every person who, in their own mind had
formed the conclusion that Tonnage Tax" can, by
application of the Hun idea that might makes right,
be easily saddled on Northern Minnesota were
of the fact that the United States Steel Cor
iron ranges, that more mines being operated by
independent companies than by the corporation,
that the imposition of Tonnage Tax" would bring
bankruptcy to more than half the independent oper-
ators and virtually give the United States Steel Cor
poraton control of the ranges, perhaps their opinion
of Tonnage Tax" would be different.
In 1918 there were 126 mines operating on the
Mesaba Range and of this number the Steel Corpo-
ration operated 81.
In 1918 there were 80 shipping mines on the
Cayuna Range and all of them independently oper-
ated properties.
Since 1915 the Steel Corporation has produced
less than so per cent of the mined in the Lake
Superior district The Steel Corporation production
for 1913 being less than AZ per cent of the total
mage of ore mined in the district.
In opposing Tonnage Tax" legislation the people
Of Northern Minnesota are not fighting the battle
of the Steel Corporation any mining interest.
They are interested only in protecting an industry
which requires capital to continue and which means
the very life of the Iron Ranges They want to see
a large number of mines operating and giving en-
ployment to many instead of few mnes if any,
employing less workmen which would be the result
if super tax were imposed on the iron industry.

THE "INDICTMENT" READS LIKE A
PROPHECY

Hon. Daniel F: Cohalan, Justice of the Supreme
to the skill of the English diplomat In the light
of the New York World article, the "Indictment" }"
"a clear cut brief the Irish question-reads like
a prophecy Discussing the English diplomat, Jus
tice Cohalan writes:
mo group of men in the history of the world
can compare in Skill in adroitness, in finesse, in
influence, with the diplomats of England. =
He (the English dipomat) had hoped because of his
that the dead hand Of Rhodes had actually won the
victory. y He is Mortified to find that in spite
of huge expenditures America refuses to be made
again into colony and that interest in the freedom
OF the seas has been aroused in America as never
