Shots Were Fired.

Cork, Dec. 14-Among the victims

the Lord Mayor of Cork and Father
McCarty, who are reported to have
been severely handled by armed uni
formed men Father McCarty's injur
les were SO severe that he was uncon-
scious yesterday and is still unable
to leave his bed, while Father Mac
Swiney Is scarcely able to move ow-
ing to lameness and bruises.
The two priests have told the cor
respondents how they, with other pas
sengers, including women, were held
up in tramcar Saturday night by
men wearing long coats over police
uniforms These men fired into the
car and roughly elected all the passen
gers, lining them up in side street al
the point of the riff e and searching
them.
Father MacSwiney's gold watch and
money were taken, and one of the men
when the men discovered the priest
exclaimed "Now we've got one OF
those fellows who have been advising
people to murder us
Father MacSwiney, whom the men
threatened to shoot, was compelled to
divest himself OF. his outer clothing
and kneel in the road. Describing his
experiences at that particular juno
ture, Father MacSwiney said. mot
doing so quick enough they threw me
down and ordered me to write on the
pavement, To hell with the Pope
when they promised to let me off
Then finding no means with which to
write they pushed me away with a
curse, firing shots after me-
Father Mccarthy suffered more bod
lily injuries than Father MacSwiney
being beaten and kicked almost in
sensible.

No race OF people has suffered more

the Jews who inhabit all sections OF
the continent and who are especially
numerous in lands that are making
the slewest recovery from the effect
OF the great conflict. .f
Immediate relief Is necessary be.
cause Of existing cond tons which
cannot but become more appalling as
winter progresses and diseases Of an
epidemic nature are added to the hor-
rors OF famine, Thousands cf 'lives
have been saved by relief afforded by
the different organizations of Jewish
people in America. but thousands
more, particularly little children, are
today facing death by starvation and
depending for their lives upon their
more fortunate brothers and sisters
happily removed from the misery and
suffering that continue to stak in
the wake Of the most terrible war OF
all time.
During the period that America was
in the war the Jewish people of Ben
nington, as in all sections Of the
United States, demonstrated their 10y
atty and their willingness to share the
burdens of their adopted country
/ With them the burden is nct lifted
1 The salvation of their kindred across
the sea remains with them and they
are appealing to all humanity tnsas
sist them in the work which, no ma
ter how willing and anxious they
might be- is far beyond their ability
to accomplish alone.
