Says McAdoo Has
 Just Pride In R. R. Achievement

Washington. April Figures showing that the railroads of the country moved only two percent more traffic in 1918 than in 1917 were cited by Daniel Willard President of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company. before the senate Interstate Commerce Committee today to refute the recent testimony of Will liam G. McAdIoo, former director gen railroads had broken down in the lat ter year before placed under govern rnent control. He appeared at a re- sumption of the committees investi- ga+ton into the general railroad sit uation.
 Former Director General NIcAdoo has pointed with pride and iustifia bIv so," he continued, ito the record of accomplishments of the railroads un- der his direction during 1918, but the figures show That the same railroads that moved 430.0O0.O 100000 ton miles in 1917, moved only 40, ,0OO 0OO 900 ton miles in 1aS, or about two per cent more. I submit that a difference in accomplishment of only two per cent between the two periods is hard ly sufficient to indicate a. breakdown in the one year and a satisfactory ac- compiishment in the other
 Despite the "congeStion and con fusion' which naturally followed the country's entrance into the war. he said. the railroads showed an effec- tive capacity for cooperation under their executives railroad war board in 1917, solving many difficult trans portation problems, he said and handling volume of traffic 12ToOO- OOO,000 ton miles greater than that handled two years before.

Patrick J. Kerley
 Says Republicans Want Square Deal

Hon. Patrick J. Ker1ey, attorney sat-1aw of Dundalk.- Ireland, who IS now in Bridgeport making arrange ments for the reception at the Casino tonight to the Irish Republican dele
 gates. issued the following stateme ent today:
 During the recent war in Ireland. British propaganda and a rigid Brit ish censorship combined to suppress the truth and disseminate falsehoods as to the real state of affairs in Ire land. During that tragic period and similarly since the signing of the recent treaty in London-these same elements have operated to hide from
 the world the true state of feeling in
 Ireland regarding the grave question as to whether Ireland shall maintain become a British colony,
 "The spectacle of Ireland as a Brit fsh colony is fiction, a living lie in the eyes of the world, and an inter national noma1y. The Irish nation is an ancient parent state. having civ ilization and antiona1 institutions far earlier than those of England. Net
 only has Ireland never been colon ized from England as a mother land, like her other doninions, but Ireland has throughout all the centuries either resisted or absorbed every at tempted colonization.
 "The Republican delegates come to America at this time in order to lay the true state of affairs before the bar of American public opinion and
 they come under precisely similar circumstances to those under which Benjamin Franklin came to Ireland on two occasions as the ambassador
 of George Washington. at a period when Britain was making tempting offers to Washington and his associ- ates such as she is now making to Ireland. Ireland nobly assisted Franklin when they held out for complete Independence. The Irish parliament of that time recognized the republic of America, and Lord Cornwallis himself declared tF at all Ireland was on the side of the revolt ing co1onists.
 ''The Republican delegates appeal to the great American principle of the square deal. and ask nothing more than a fair and impartial hear ing from the American public as a set off to the propaganda which is be- ing now used in an attempt to drug and chloroforn public opinion.
 "The Republican delegates will ex- plain to their audiences in this coun- try the present state of public feel ing in Ireland, the condition of the register of voters list, and will disclose that 1t is impossible at the present time to secure a full, complete and impartial plebiscite in Ireland. as fought and won the war in Ireland have no votes on the register. In ad- dition they will explain the attitude of the great Sim Fein political or ganization and the attitude of the Irish Republican army towards the attempt to subvert and destroy the republic"
