WISHES NEWSPAPERS
TO GIVE ATTENTION TO
SOUTHERN COUNTRIES
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, June 2.--That peace
will be largely strengthened on the
Western hemisphere by an extensive
interchange of thought among the
people's of the various countries was
the burden of statement by Acting
Secretary of State Frank l.. Polk to-
day in urging that the newspapers OF
the United States devote more atten-
ton to news of the Latin American
countries, Mr.. Polk said he hoped the
American newspapers would take this
means Of educating the people OF the
United States to better understand
and appreciate the important and
greatness of our neighbors Of South
and Central America and pointed out
that by lending their aid to the fur
therance of this education the news
papers would be fulfilling public
duty to the government.
"The more we know OF the other
countries of North and South Amer
ica,' said Mr. Polk today THE less
likelihood there is of misunderstand-
ings. The nations of the world are
becoming more and more independ-
ent daily with the increased efficiency
of TRANSPORTATION and communication
facilities. Exchange of news results
inevitably in better relations and a
fuller comprehension of the Efforts
that are being made by the different
countries to solve the problems OF
civilization. Improved commercial
relations are accompanied by better
cultural relations.
zone result of the European war
has been to show the United States
low completely our interests lie in
this hemisphere. With peace re-
stored our interest in European af-
fairs will be more theoretical than
real but we nave ana must nave
closer relations with our neighbors In
Central and South America. The peo,
pIe OF Latin America are intensely in
terested In the United States. The
newspapers OF Central and South
America print a great deal Of news
. about this country II would be oi
lncalculable benefit if the newspapers
, OF the United States would pay more
; attention to news regarding Latii
, America and In very short tim'
these newspapers could educate th'
> public to seek further information
: and more news about our neighbor

Washington, June 3--Police today
believed they had identified the man
blown to pieces last night in an at
tempt to kill Attorney General Palm
e. with a bomb as Philadelphia an
archist. They also said they are
confident a nationwide plot against
the lives of government officials and
prominent business men has been laid
in that city. A blood-stained con
iuctor's identification check was
found in front of Palmer's residence
TODAY, which showed the anarchist
had arrived in Washington at 1890
last night from Philadelphia. He went
directly from the Union station to the
Palmer home and only a few minutes
before the explosion was seen alight-
ing from street car few blocks
away by G. s. Briggs of Marion s.
c. Police would not reveal the mans
name but they felt confident the facts
they had gathered since midnight
would lead quickly to the apprehen'
sion of his associates who they be-
Eeve are responsible for the May Day
plot in which many internal machines
we're sent through the mails.
The police are confident the plan
to take Palmer's life would not hav'
miscarried IL the anarchist had no
stubbed his toe on the low coping si'

About Ireland and England

ireland demands Home Rule the evidence
of three successive general elections. Since
then = we have had eight general
elections : but through all the
welter and confusion, amid all the varying
phases and fields of our electoral and
parliamentary campaigns, one thing has
remained constant, subject neither to
eclipse nor wane-the insistence and per-
sistence of the Irish demand"
Thus spoke the man who, with the
cooperation of Redmond and the
Nationalsts, seemed about to solve the
Irish problem when Carson and the war
interviewed.
We had expected to find in the book
something more definite about the failure
of the Irish Convention of 1913, but Mr..
Turner, after dealing with the earnest
work of Sir Horace Plunkett, George
Russell and the others of that group,
says that the report was adopted, but
"not by decisive majority" "In the
end the Unionists remained irreeoncil-
able"
"a system of Home Rule would have
almost certainly have been established in
Ireland if the war had not broken out"
says Mr.. Turner. This is Understanding
Sir Edward Carson's political strength.
All that, however, is water passed the mill.
Mr.. Turner INDUCES, on his last page, in
some pleasant prophecy:
"Sinn Fein will fail. But its
work is not wholly in vain. Because Of
its very extremeness the more moderate
parties viii be more able to compromise
and settle the problem. The liberalism of
England and the greater spirit of
liberalism everywhere will shortly bring
to ireland the freedom and the self
determination for which she is asking, in
some sort of satisfactory self-government
within the empire-just as soon as Irish
men agree among themselves. The
difference between Ulster and the rest Of
Ireland will abate.D
Any one can see how easily this may be
aceomplished-if the twenty-five Car
son1te members of Parliament will link
arms with the seventy-three Sim Feiners.

A Sherlock Reporter

WALKING homeward from his work
w IN a London newspaper office
early one morning Frank Spargo CHANGED
upon murder, that of an unknown man
without bit of Identification" on him
save o scrap Of paper bearing the name
Of young lawyer who once had sold
Spargo an article for his paper. Starting
thus, J. S. Fletcher tells first rate
mystery story IN The Middle Temple
Murder, one that is Not at all profound
and is written much as such a newspaper
man as Spargo is represented to be might
write it.
The narrative leads directly from one
point to another, just as a reporter would
ferret such crime to its solution provided
he was Industrious and luck was with
him. One of the ''prettiest" points in
the tale is the finding of the silver pass
to the Market Milcaster race meetings,
clue that leads Spargo away from London
and into a fresh coil of circumstances
bearing on the identification of the
murdered man.
Another flip to the plots interest is in
the something, more than suspicion, that
is cast on the father Of Spargo's fiancee
and eventually leads to his being arrested
only to be freed In the end through the
reporters industry and skill In following
clues. We are ready to believe that
purists in criminal fiction will take ex-
ception to the manner In which the
mystery is cleared up, and our personal
opinion is that Spargo was taking long
chance to send the telegram he did in the
end ordering the arrest of one of the
characters for murder. But by the time
this denouement is reached, readers will
have had such fun that they will be In no
mood for criticism of an unfavorable sort.
