DUBLIN, Ireland, September To-
The most daring OF the Sim Fein
measures hitherto adopted to check
the Revolutionary spirit of Ireland.
Fermoy is one of the largest and best
equipped military depots and is sit
uated in a thriving town. yet in broad
daylight a score of Sim Feiners, arm
ed with revolvcrs, were able to hold
up eighteen soldiers on their way to
the Methodist church for Sunday serF-
ices. They killed IA private, wounded
three others and successfully made off
with three motor ears with eighteen
rifles.

Lengthen the Parade!

10 the Editor of The Star:
Owing to the fact that September IL
will be a holiday, which means every
one will be able to be out and as we
all wish to help welcome the boys
home again. I think it would be
good idea to extend the route of the
parade They could well march down
X street as far as 9Th street This
would lessen the crowd on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, but would not add much
to the strain ON the soldiers.

Soldiers Without Ammunition

The soldiers had no ammunition and
were helpless against the armed at
tack. They were carrying their rifles
apparently. for ornament. for in Eng
land on church parades it is unusual
to carry rifles. The raiders had
blocked the road against pursuit by
placing trees across Ii. Fermoy has
plenty of airplanes and aviators went
up to search the country for the mo-
florists. but their efforts were fruit
less. Then followed an amazing orgy
of destruction and footing by the en-
ragged soldiers.
This event has caused sensation
and provoked the usual rival demands
ON the one hand for still greater
military restrictions and on the other
for a termination of the present
methods of Irish government. The
yploit, of course, would have been
imp ossibIe except in a community in
general sympathy with it's purpose.
This weeks issue of the Sim Fem
paper. the Irish Republic, comment
ing on the numerous attacks on the
police. treats the existing condition
in Ireland as one of war and the
shoe Nings on both sides as incidents
in it. 1t says the Fermoy raid was
not motived by luminosity toward the
soldiers. Its object was the capture
of the rifles. There is not against the
soldiers anything like the hostility
felt toward the police. These are
heated and they carry their lives in
their hands every day. The shooting
of constables. though vigorously con-
demned by the clergy, has been made
the theme of popular ballads widely
circulated celebrating them.
Ballad Applauded From the Dock.
One of the ballads was mentioned in
court at the trial of some men in Tip
perary and it's sentiments were ap-
plauded from the dock. The law which
fails to catch the perpetrators fines
the locality for each crime by en-
forcing pecuniary compensation for
the victims. The result is that in some
districts the payment of this compen.
sation has raised the taxes to lever
of 25 shillings $50. The situation
goes from bad to worse.
There is considerable violence IN
Dublin and the police are investiga-
ing a charge that soldiers from the
Dublin barracks fired their reVolvers
on people in the streets, woundlng
four young men. The people on both
sides are ready to believe anything.
The Fermoy coup. for example. makes
credible the story circulated that the
Sim Feiners planned to kldnap F1elo
Marshal French. He drives ABOUT
freely in motor cars and is apparently
without effective military escort. IL
is generally safe, however, not TO pc
lieye any rumorS regarding the sim
Fein plans They keep their own
council and the stroke that arrives Is
rarely the one that was expected.

WOULD FORBID ALL
D|SCORDANT NOISES
Correspondent Comments on
the Unnecessary Chatter
Permitted in Streets.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
In several places on our streets may
be seen signs bearing the admonition
Zone of quiet. All unnecessary
noises prohibited"
These are on streets passing near
hospitals. where are patients whose
nerves need entire rest. And, pray.
why should not the zone of quiet"
be extended SO far as possible to
include other portions OF the city or
all portions where such unnecessary"
noises are made? Why, indeed. should
we be subjected to unnecessary"
noise at all?
Are the nerves of the people of this
city composed of steel or brass that
they should be compelled to endure
continually what is classed as 'un-
necessary noise?
Is it not the truth that our nerves
are drawn SO tense by the continual
rattle and bang and squawk around
us that any relief from it would be
welcome?
Does this not show in the nervous
restleSsnesS of those we see around
us, and in their conversation and
ha bits?

Further Inquiry Superhuous.

Reverting to the investigation COM

about a new one reported to be start

faith in the Morgenthau body I can
add that 1 regard more commissions

speaking of Poland's sacrifices and
needs that Mr.. Paderewski showed a
fervor that moistened his deep-set eyes.
Poland stands today as the bull
wark of European civilization" he
said. 'It is in the east that the new
war will break out. Poland must be
made a great fighting power, not only
against the bolshevist menace. which
1t Is. now battling almost alone, but
against other menaces. What do we
find in Silesia today? There our army
is witnessing with it's own eyes the
cruelties of the Germans, who have
shot, hanged and even crucif1ed thou
sands, yet the army does not fight.
Those ragged hosts are too patriotic
to cause the government to break
faith with the allies and attack the
Germans.
The Germans have hoped to force
the Poles into war. but have failed.
In the meantime we endure such con-
ditions and as at DanZig, which is our
only port and yet is not ours. Do you
have been held for ten days two ships
containing food and carrying Polish
passengers who can see their native
land and yet cannot go ashore? That
is the colossal defiance Of Germany to
the entente. We endure it."

CORK. September 13.-The military
and police raids which began yester-
day in connection with the proclama-
ton of the suppression of the Sim
Fein parliament and Sim Fein or
CARNATIONS throughout ireland were
continued today. During the morn
ing the raiders proceeded to the house
of David Kent, a Sim Fein member

1t should be made a pleasing one in

Think of the diabolical noises made
by many automobile horns and the
things with which, believe, most of the
perambulating "bathtubs'' are equip
ped! Think of the continued clatter,
slash and ring of that imposition on the
public denominated cash register" of
the Anticipated variety with which most
of our electric cars, city and suburban,
are equipped!
Think of the shrek emitted by the

DENIES POGROM REPORTS
BY HENRY j. SMITH.

PARIS. September 12.-On the
eve of the disclosure of the MorSen-
than findings concerning the situa-
tion of the Jews in Poland, Premier
Padercwski today discussed the Jew
ish problem at length. 1t was a state
ment characterized by the temperate
ness and urbanity of the diplomatist
combined with the suppressed passion
of the Slav and artist. The extreme
care with which this man spoke, on
whom rests the responsibility for
greater things than arpeggios, was
eloquent of his knowledge that
the fate of the Jews in Poland is as
tremendous an issue-as great, per-
haps-as bolShevism.
There is no argument that Will
ever convince Polish leaders that the
Jews in their country have not re-
ceired perfect justice and aid equal

Morgenthau report indicates the con-
trary the Polish government SIMPLY
will not believe it. Mr.. Faderewski.

and as for all.three 1 trust in their
impartiality. AS for the spirit of the

If the Polish government accorded
complete fairness to the Jews. then
the report. if true. must inevitably re-
fleet it, was suggested.
II do not predict what the report
will be- was the reply. Il affirm,
however, with the utmost earnestness,
that the Polish government has ex-
hibited absolute justice to the peo-
pie within the borders of Poland. re-
gardless of race and religion. 1t Is
regrettable beyond words that some
of the American newspapers spread re.
perts about pogromS-poSroms. THOSE
stories, started right after the ar
mistice, were spread by Germans.
Premier Displays Anger.
The tawny head was appraised in
anger and dignity as he continued:
What was the truth OF the Lem
berg incident. for example? WHAT
happened in Lemberg? Why. there
was a riot caused by the Ruthenians
who opened the doors OF the prisons
and released the inmates. of whom
60 per cent were Ruthenias, 81 per
cent Poles and 10 per cent Jews;
There was a riot with shooting ana
looting of shops. In the disturbances
thirty-nine Jews were killed: Ihere
were also Christians killed. so much
for the Lemberg pogron Do you
know that in the last ten months
there have not been as many persons
killed in Poland as have been Killed
in Ukrainia?'
