STEAMER CAPE COD MAKES WAY THROUGH THE ICE

After sen<ounterins heavy ice from AL lyh's Point up Steamer Cape Cod arrived at her dock in this city at ! o'clock Sat urday morning. The ice averages five inches in thickness. Most of the trouble was experienced when the Cape God steamed into the local harbor.
 At the mouth of the shetucket river the ice is piled up about two and a half feet higher than the surface of the Thames and the ice pile extends into the middle of the hArhor. The Cape Cod could not get through the ice at that point and had to take the west channel near the Richmond stove works. After considerable maneuverlpg the boat was finally able to make her dock. The Boat vert out again Sunday night on the trip to Kew York.
 Thursday the Cape Cod was unable to get un the river and went only as far as New London. She remained there waiting for the weather to rnoderztl so that she could break a cha mel through the ice. Every effort Is being made to keep on schedule but 1t is a difficult mat ter to navigate with ice blocking UT the river.

All this Irish eropa. ganda is. very closely linked Up With the German prepa gahda going on in the west before and during the war.

When any man comes to this country as Mir Buckingham came, let the law take its course and let him be deported. Then if he wants to come as . witness before the committee of 100 let him come as a man and ot as st0waway, said Rev. E. A.

OCallaghan and the Nation's Law, or Shillelah Versus the Stars and Stripes"
 My life during the first twenty-three or four years was laid in such placf that I came to like very much the men whom we call Irishnen, said Rev. MT. Legg. One of the men who influenced me more than any other outside my home was an Irishrnan, one of the noblest whom Cod ever put on this earth. have rreey reason in the world to respect and love the Irish people.
 There are certain complex problems presented to us for solution as a nation. We know there are great disturbahces and troubles in Ireland. The fact that
 tlere are as many or more Irishrnen in
 America as in Ireland makes /it only natural that the troubles lat home"
 should be taken up here.
 Rev. MT. Legg went on to speak Of the origin of the Sim Fein, which he said means we. Ourselves" and which
 vas chosen as the game of propaganda to accomplish complete national inde- pendence for Ireland. They do not want home rule, they want national independ4 ence, said the minister. The Roman Catholics of Ireland are not unit in | regard to this matter, he continued. An | Roman Catholics are not Sim Feiners | either in Ireland or in America. What is Ulster9 It is the z.Lst thrifty and the most prosperous part of the whole oi | Ireland. The people of Ulster are very | largely of the Protestant faith.
