Manchester Guardian Says Sims
Does Not Understand the Irish
Question At All

Manchester, England, June S.-Un-

bust the Manchester Guardian today
published an editorial on 'the indis-
cretion of his little outbreak yester-
Gay,' in the American Admirals lun-
cheon address before the English
Speaking Union.
The editorial said:
Among the many points forgotten
by the distinguished American sailor
whom we all like even when he
puts us into passing difficulties-are
the facts that the Sim Fen party and
the murder gangs who profess to be
doing its work are just about as dis
tinct from each other as the British
government and the other murder
gangs which profess to be doing its
work; that the most striking point in
Ireland's relation to the great war
was not the insane effort of few
wild extremists to help the Germans,
but the great number and excellent
quality of Irish soldiers who abound
cd not only in Irish. Australian and
Canadian but also in English and even
Scottish regiments and that an even
more remarkable degree of participa-
tion by Irishmen in the overthrow of
Germany was only prevented by the
folly of a few anti-Irish politicians at
the war office and elsewhere, who
choked off the great recruiting move.
ment started by John Redmond.
"By ignoring such facts while he
stressed others, Admiral Sims, no
doubt, with the best intentions, as
simulated himself to an Incorporate
kind of English party man. 1t is a
pity, because he is personally worthy
to cut much better figure than that
and because it is painful to find any
fault at all with great officer in the
navy Of friend
