Main Saloon Injured.
BIZ the Associated Press.

SOUTHAMPTON. July 26.-The flames
on the Cunarder Mauretana which
broke out as she was lying at her dock
here yesterday afternoon were finally
conquered by the firemen early to-day
after twelve hours struggle. The dam
age is not so extensive as was feared,
but considerable time will be required
to put the big vessel in shape No
monetary estimate Of the damage is
possible as yet.
The fire originated In a first class
cabin on the e deck, and fifty cabins
on that deck. extending across the ship
and forward OF the engine room bulk
head for eighty feet, were destroyed.
The flooring of the main saloon on the
d deck was badly burned and buckled.
The beautiful carved wood panelling in
the saloon. for which the Mauretania
was famous. Is untouched except for a
few scorched places. The flooring of
the upper saloon on the c deck was
severely damaged. while the woodwork
around the funnel castings between the
A and K decks was completely burned.
Other parts of the ship were badly
damaged by water.
Saloon passengers who were scheduled
to sail on the Mauretania Saturday will
be accommodated on the Berengaria and
the Carmania, while those who had
booked steerage passage will be dis
tributed among other ships Of the
Cunard Line, according to an announce
ment this morning.

The Foreign Office regards the Silesian
difference with France as settled IL
France does not send troops to Silesia
before the meeting of the Supreme Coun-
Gil on August A. Concessions have been
made by both sides and the greatest con-
fidence was expressed tonight that an
agreement soon would be reached.
Great Britain has agreed to a meet
ing of experts preceding the councils
session. Premier Lloyd George says that
he does not wish to Inconvenience NJ.
BRAND in any way. 1t is understood
that Ambassador Harvey will attend the
councils sessions. as an observer only,
so far as Silesia is concerned. A. j. Bal
four and Lord Curzon are likely to at
tend the council.
The Foreign Office to-day ignored the
German request for advice on how to
deal with Frances demands to permit
troops to be transported over German
territory, but the fear is still expressed
here that II France should try to force
this transport of troops "the fat would
be in the fire."
Whether or not the British and Italian
plan to allocate the undisputed Silesian
areas forthwith and then concentrate
allied forces on the disputed territory
will be adopted. British officials are co.,
fident that a settlement can be enforced
without further troops.

Berlin, July 20.
The reply of Friedrich Rosen, German
Minister of Foreign Affairs. to the
French demand for authorization for the
movement OF French troops through Ger
man territory into Upper Silesia- that
the demand should come from three
Powers instead of from France alone.
has been received enthusiastically by
the German press. Newspa pers here
declare that the French We're not acting
alone when the allied sanctions were
enforced. but that the situation is diff
ferent this time. in that the Entente
Allies are divided on the advisability
OF this move.
The German press insists that Herr
Rosens position is n simple association
OF Germany's rights under the article of
the Peace Treaty providing fofehe ple-
biscite In Upper Silesia
While much satisfaction has been
caused by reports that the Franco Brit
ish disagreement was acute Conserva-
tive newspapers warned the Germans
against any jubilation, declaring that
Germany Is helpless to use arms against
France. Socialist newspapers expressed
the hope tnat this latest move would
put the French in a wrong light before
the world and assure Germany of PRO-
lection behind the Treaty of Versailles.

WRIT GRANTED TO ECAN

DUBLIN. July 26.-An important judg-
ment was delivered In the Chancery
Division to-day when the Master OF the
Rolls ordered writ of habeas corpus
returnable Friday against Gen. Sir Nevil

troops In Ireland; Major-Gen. Sir Ed

and others In the case OF John Egan,
sentenced to death by a military court
at Limerick in June for having ammuni-
tion in his possession.
He decides that Egan should have
been tried by court-martial under the
restoration Of order act. The claim OF
the military authorities that the exis-
tence Of a state of insurrection justified
them in overriding legislation seemed
to him to call for a new bill Of rights
There were considerations more impor-
tant than temporary duration of an in

nal principles OF justice. which could
not be violated without detriment to
the true interest and feeling of civil

1t was a quarrel between themselves
which led to the arrest last night of the
two fraudulent collectors who. posing
as Chaldean priests, had obtained thou
sands of dollars here and in the United
States on the pretence of aiding Chal-
deans prosecuted by the Turks.
Yesterday afternoon swarthy
skinned Chaldean of clerical appearance
reported to the police that Paris was
being visited by an English churcn
missionary of Chaldean nationality who
was soliciting funds for the victims of
Turkish massacres

on record" the police say their infor-
mant told them After reaping a har-

so you have given away the game.
Then turning to the police he added:
That man is no more a Catholic than

America as John Malick. Together we
have collected at least $4,000 in New
York. Chicago. Cleveland and scores Of
towns In the West and middle West
and have spent all in riotous living in

When the apartments occupied by the
two men were searched the police dis
covered bundle OF letters signed oy
American clergymen whose sympathies
had been substantially aroused by the
two men. The United States police are
being asked whether extradition is de-

The two men are believed to be men,

CUSTOMS MEN TO MEET
AUSTRALIAN PRELATE

LONDON, July 26.--There is much

toms officers at Thursday Island, off
the Queensland coast. where Archbishop
Daniel ]. Mannix of Australia is due
to arrive by Japanese steamship Sat-

There is strong belief. declares the

to take the oath of allegiance.
Archbishop Mannix Is just about COM
pleting q trip around the world which
included visits to the United Safes,
England and Rome. Although he was
in Europe for several months during
the latter part of last year and early
this year. Archbishop Mannix. who was

during his tour, was not allowed by the

ditions of the past. My heart as well as those Of other people, is bleeding at the conditions in Ireland at the present time. 1t is impossible to rely on the word or condition of the poli- ticians. The only thing to do, is to hope.
 F We all remember Daniel O'Con- nell. who several hundreds of years ago, by measuring the power of right and with moral confidence, won the Catholic emancipation. He did this without an appeal to any one.
 Docs No Good to Rave.
 The Irish cannot rely on anyone and it does no good for them to rave against Britain. Britain at the pres ent time is too large and strong a country to combat but we can all hope that time will gradually change things. The time will probably come when Britain will clear out of Ire land or be forced out he said.
 Rev. F'r. Conlon also stated that the past gloties of the country were won- derfuI and all the Irish people should and do live up to the ideal of the race "'The Irish have always been true to God God has been true to them and some day God will come to their aid" Father Conlon stated.
 
 Tells of Experiences.
 The priest then told of his experi- ences in Ireland a short time before the World war began When he was over there he said 1t made his blood boil at the change in the conditions and how bad they were. He also said that the world is looking on without a word of protest. The country is being crushed by one large foe and still no one nation is willing to help. Tn concluding his sermon Father Con- lon stated that it must be the senti- ment of all that Ireland should have her freedom, although just talk will not give it to her.

 Lenten devotional exercises will be held at St. Paul's church this even ing at 7:30 o'clock. Next Sunday, which is Palm Sunday. masses will be conducted at and 10 o'clock as is usual

 One of the most successful and pleasing entertainments held in the town for some time was enjoyed at the Grange Hall last night under the auspices of the Holy Name society of the Church of Ouf Lady of Mercy. The chorus of IS voices, under direc- tion of Mrs. Martin Casey, proved to be a success and rendered several se- lections. Others on the program were well received. Dancing was enjoyed after the entertainment. The hall was filled to tlre capacity, there being more than 200 present. A sum of about s150 was realized from the af- fair. The money will be used by the society and will be placed in the building fund. It is the plan of the society to erect a building in the near futitre following the idea of a Catholic community club: It is possible that q Abuilding will be leased, should the 1 rfoposition of .erecting ones fall fhrousb.
