I wasn't known as man who was making lots of money. so if business acquaintances saw me at the ball game they would say. No wonder he doesn't amount to anything. He takes too much time away from the of flee for pleasure But now, do you know that they will say. There is a smart fellow.

Today he sent the following reply to the com mittee's cablegram:
 T have received your cablegram in- viting me to attend some American commission in Washington and testify on conditions in Ireland. As far as I can ascertain, such commission has no mandate or authority from the British government, which alone has the right to deal with the internal affais of the United Kingdom.
