members of the Sim Fein party treated
our men. But it seems that now, when
this same brotherhood Is attempting to
stir UP hatred in this country against
our allies in the war, there is q certain
pertinence in informing Americans just
what kind of treatment their brave
sailors met with at Sim Fein hands in
Ireland. y"
= Tho people of Queenstown and Cork,
as already described, received our men
with genuine irish cordially. Yet in
a few weeks evidence Of hostility in
certain quarters became apparent.
The fact Is that the part Of Ireland in
which the Americans were stationed
was q headquarters OF the Sim Fein.
The members of this organization
were not only openly disIoyaI: they
were openly pro-German. They were
not even neutral--they were working
day and night for a German victory;
In their misguided minds German
victory signified an Irish republic, 1t
was no secret that the Slim Feiners
were sending information to Germany
and constantly laying plots to inter-
fbro with the British and American
navies.
At first 1T might be supposed that
the large number of saiiors--and some
of1cers-of Irish extraction on the
American destroyers would tend to
make things easier for our men. Quite
tho contrary proved to be the case.
The Sim Feiners apparently believed
that these so-callcd Irish Americans
would sympathize with their cause; in
their widest moments they even hoped
that our naval forces might champion
it, But these splendid sailors were
Americans before they were anything
else; their chief ambition was the de-
feat of the Hun and they could not
understand how any man anywhere
could have any other aim in life. They
were disguised at the large numbers
of able-bodied men whom they saw on
the streets, and did not hesitate to
ask some OF them why they were not
fighting on the western front.

regarded it as a great humiliation
that the rowdy element had made it
necessary to keep our men out of
their city. Many letters were printed
in the Cork newspapers apologizing
to the Americans and calling upon the
people to take action that would jus
tify us in resembling. our order. The
loss to Cork tradesmen was great; our
men received not far from 100000 to
$300,8O0 a month in pay; they were
free spenders and their presence in
the neigh borhood for nearly two years
would have meant a fortune to many
Of the local merchants. Yet we were
obliged to refuse to accede to the nu-
merous requests. that the American
sailors be permitted. to visit this CITY,
A committee Of distinguished citi-
zens of Cork. led by the lord mayor,
came to Admiralty House to plead for
the resembling Of this order. Admiral
Bayly cross examined them very
sharply. 1t appeared that the men
who had committed these offenses
against American sailors had never
been punished.
Unless written guarantees were fur
nished that there would be no hostile
demonstrations against Americans, Ad-
miral Bayly refused to withdraw tho
ban. and fully concurred in this de-
cision. Unfortunately. the committee
could give no such guarantee. We knew
very well that the first appearance Of
Americans in Cork would be the signal
for renewal Of hostilities, and the
temper of our sailors was such that the
most deplorable consequences might
have resulted. We even discovered
that the blacksmiths on the U. S. s..
Melville were surreptitiOusly manufac-
turing weapons which our men could
conceal on their persons and with which
they proposed to sally forth and do bat
tie with the Sim Fein! SO for the whole
period of our stay in queenstown our
sailors were compelled to keep away
from the dangerous city. But the Stu
alton was not without its humorous as
poets. Thus the pretty girls of Cork,
finding that the Americans could not
come to them, decided 10 come to the
Americans; every afternoon a trainload
would arrive at the Queenstown station,
where our sailors would greet them
give them a splendid time, and then, In
the evening, escort them TO the station
and send a happy crowd on their way
home. -..

THE. VICTORY AT SEA ~

American boys their hitherto sup
pressed anger took the form Of overt
acts.
Occasionally an American sailor would
be brought from Cork to Queenstown in
a. condition that demanded pressing
medical attention. When he regained
consciousness he would relate how he
had suddenly been set upon by half a
dozen roughs and beaten into state Of
insensibility. Several of our men were
severely injured in this way. At other
times small groups. were stoned by Sim
Fein sympathizers. and there were many
hostile demonstrations In moving picture
houses and theaters. Even more fire.
quently attacks were made, not upon
the American sailors, but upon the
Irish girls who accompanied them.
These chivalrous .pro-German agitators
would rush up and attempt to tear the
girls away from our young men; they
would pull down their hair, slap them
and even kick them. Naturally Ameri-
can sailors were hardly; the type to
tolerate behavior of this kind. and some
bloody battles took place.
very regrettable occurrence in Queens
town. An American sailor was prom
enading the main thoroughfare with an
Irish girl, when an Infatuated Sim
Feiner rushed up. began to abuse his
former sweetheart in vile language, and
attempted to lay hands on her. The
American struck this hooligan a terrific
blow; he fell backward and struck his
head on the curb. The fall fractured
the assailant's skull and in a few hours
he was dead. We handed our man over
to the civil authorities for trial, and a
jury, composed entirely of Irishmen, ac-
quilted him. The action of this jury
in itself indicated that there was no
sympathy among the decent Irish ele-
ment-which constituted the great ma
jority-for this sort of tactics, but nat
urally it did not improve relations be-
tween our men and the Sim Fein.

Prohibition leaders predicted re-

ident's veto meant that the sale Of
liquor would not be permitted again
in this and many other generations.
The reasons for vetoing the act
were set forth by the President in the
following message to Congress:

The president refused to sign the
bill because it included the enforce

The objects of wartime prohibition

been satisfied and Sound public policy

Nobody had really professed to know
the president would veto the bill. Re-

bars, thought it would become a law
