Cardinal Logue, Primate of Ireland,
Would Like to See Unity.

Belfast. Dec. ST. By the Associated

Ireland, told the correspondent, to-day
that he thought the Irish peace terms
very satisfactory. He added:
Il would like to see unity, and no
division of the country so that all
could pull together for the good OF Ire
land. would like to see the people
of Ireland living in peace and charity
with each other
The cardinal expressed the fear that
the expense of the northern govern

of six counties. Replying TO a query
as to whether he thought it wise for
Ulster to retain her own parliament.
he said;
Il think il would be blessing if we
could pull together and give up the
old battle cries. IL is satisfactory TO
be given a parliament of our own;
anyway. it prevents us from being
heeced by England and paying to her
far beyond our taxable capacity"
In conclusion. he said: Il think il
will be blessing. and | think il win
promote trade, if there is concord"

Attorney General Daugherty to Inves.
tigate New Haven System As to
Subsidiary and Trolley Lines.

Washington, d. c., Dec. s.Attorncy
General Daugherty announced to-day
that he would leave Sunday for New
England for personal investigation
of the trolley, steamship lines and sub.
sidiary railroad holdings Of, the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail.
road, with view to determining ths
governments policy under the consent
decree of October, 1914, requiring the
railroad company to dispose of these
properties within two years.
Mr., Daugherty said he would hold
open hearings on the matter in Hart
ford at the Hotel Bond Monday, sim.
liar hearings at the Hotel Touraine in
Boston Tuesday and probably would
confer in New York Wednesday with
the federal Judge before whom the de-
cree was entered.
The attorney general said that while
he was at present of an open mind on
the subject of the New Haven's New
England properties which have long
been in litigation he would be able, as
a result of his investigation, TO decide
by January | upon the rroper course
for the government to pursue. He al
so would be able, he declared. either
to order the sale of the New Havens
subsidiary holdings, which have not
yet been disposed of, as soon as market
conditions would justify the step or
to recommend supplemental decree
in the New York court modifying
the original decrees TO permit the re-
turn of the holdings now in the
hands of trustees to their original
owners.
The question to be settled by in
vestigation, Mr. Daugherty said, WAS
whether the trolley lines, steamship
lines and steam railroad lines in New
England owned by the New York. New
Haven and Hartford railroad were
operating in competition with the New
Haven railroad.

DAHL EIREANN CABI-
NET TALKS ON PACT
De valera's Standpoint on Treaty Was
Expected to Be Drawn
Out.

Dublin, Dec. tBy the Associated
Press THE Dali Eireann cabinet as
sembled here to-day to consider the
treaty signed in London by the Sim
Fein and British delegates, creating an
Irish free state. Its action is fraught
with great significance, as it is expect
ed to develop for the first time the real
attitude of canon De Valera and his
eounsealors toward the treaty on which
the Republican leader has thus far
steafastly refused to comment. His
continued silence has been interpreted
in many quarters AZ indicating his dis
satisfaction with the terms.
Talk of possible split in the Dali
cabinet over the terms is increasing,
and the designations of some OF the
cabinet members are predicted, among
them Cathal Drugha (Charles Burgess I,
minister OF defense. Some of the
leading members of the cabinet are
known to object to the form of the
oath Of allegiance laid down in the
treaty. Regardless Of possible differ
ences, however, it is believed the agree
ment win be approved, in principle at
least.
The public maintains the same sem
blance Of Indifference toward the agree
ment noticeable when the news was
first received. The people seem gem
orally satisfied, but refrain from ex-
pressing their feelings in any outward
demonstration, appearing TO be wait
ing for somebody. to give the lead, as
if not quite certain what attitude to
take. Possibly the return of the Irish
delegates from London to-day may
evoke some tangible expression OF the
popular view, but meanwhile the lead
ers keep their own counsel and evade

resi-. Colonel Bethel was asked.
"Yes,'' he said, zone was erected
there for execution Of convicted sol.
dier.
1t was at Gievres, according to in
formation given Senator Watson by
former service men, that soldiers we're
hanged without trial.
Il cannot youch for anything except
what these men have said TO me. Sen-
ator Watson said as he concluded his
opening statement. Il assume men
would not tell me they were ready and
willing to come here and testify re-
gardless of consequences unless the
facts were true

Georgia. senator were summoned before
the committee, including man from
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, peniten-
tiary, convicted early in the war for

mittee that the American military
authorities had exclusive jurisdiction
over the American army and the
French never attempted to exercise
jurisdiction in criminal cases.
The first of the eleven executed, he
said, was convicted OF murder and rape
and the second. negro soldier. for
rape on French woman, 6S years old.
..In every case where we recommend
ed the death sentence" he said, Il read
the evidence carefully to see that no
mistake had been made"
The third and fourth executions, the
colonel said, also were for rape, both
soldiers, hanged after trial, being ne
groes.
After testifying that the first six
cases were for assault, the witness tes-
titled that the seventh case was that Of
negro soldier who mur a red French
professor. Case number eight was the
hanging of white soldier for attempt
ed assault on an eight -year-old Belgian
girl
Next was the hanging OF white SOL
dier for numbering another white sol
dier, the crime being characterized by
Colonel Bethel as atrocious. The last
case, the hanging of two negro soldiers
together. was after conviction for as
ssulting a French girl and numbering
her father.
