After the arrival o? Sir Roger Casenront in Berlin in 1914, he sent messages ' through the foreign office in Berlin, and tho^Cerrnan embassy at Washington, accbhtfek to these docnmrrJs. to Judge /Dohalan, John Devoy and others, regarding 'his mission to Germany: This, it is declared, finally led Count ton Bernstortl, then German ambassador to the United States, to send to. the ..foreign,office in February, \"surreptitioffai^Ktv^-fo a message concern l/UOij- r ing the "that Devoy had informed/hiJji of the rising to begin in Ireland Easier Sunday and ask. 3*.\23*<rje f ing that arms be sent to Limerick between Good Friday and Easter Saturday. This-was followed by corresp^adjnce j'.ri'anging details of the assistance, Yhe'^^r&'ans -were to give. i^amphJete. The "white paper" makes referent to pamphlets Cn the subjects-of Ireland and Germany, freedom of the seas, and cther3^ in the publication in which, Kuno Meyer, then professor of Valid. languages at Liverpool, and Sir Roger Casement collaborated, and which were-widely circulated in Germany and America in 1911-12. * Sir Roger,-who was in-America at " ii-o r- ^0 ' ir.C OUtUrt'iSiV U1 IUC nu> . Germany in 1914, maintaining communication with -Mr. Qovoy, who, the paper says, 'remained as chief agent V\ ' in America in! tho communications between Germany and the Sinn Fein; Then follows textrially some fifty communications marked lor transmis sion by telegraph. post c'n<S by hand, froiii tho b^iNnir.fcr of September.

The p&plr concludes with appenrfmes ^etttnjr forth' a memorandum of the organizations of the Irish 'array, found i? the iK>ssession of Eammon do Valcra wUen^ Ue was arrested, which is s?rd to have been in his own hand writing, and a brief statement on Ireland's ease before the "powers to be assembled in a peace conference'". A Berlin foreign office message, dated Ai??>;ist 17, 191 (?? informed the Cerman ambassador at Madrid that * '* ?'"a "an agent win suoruy uuive . Buenos Aires. You should at oncc communicate his wishes and support hirii in every way. He is instructed, aftrr establishing com m u ni cat i o n's, that tlio first steps to take would be to organize the smuggling cf arms etc.. from South America and the United States into .Ireland. An undertalcing of this nature must not be made from Spain. In the second place the question arises of semi in? arms frcm Germany by the Mo ewe or a submarine in event of its being possible to fix the place and time for landing them in good time. There is no quer'- .n whatever of landing German troors in Ireland. Dr. Alfred Zimmerman, then under* ? . secretary for foreign affairs, informed the German embassy at Washington, on November 1914, that "Casement has arrived. His proposals are being carefully gone mio. f Ignorant of Purpose. The same month Sir Roger, through ? the German embassy at Washington sent word to Judge Cohalan at New York as follows: "They are ignorant here of the purpose of my coming to Germany. Here everything.is favorable; the authorities are helping warmly. Send messenger <who has.been fully advised very early to Ireland. Tie should bo a native American: otherwise his arrest is likely". -On December 1?. the "white paper" indicates, the German embassy at Washington sent the following message Sir ft offer: / "There have been purchased for India 11 .MO rifies and 4,00:\ftft0 cartridges.

The State would not go so far as to say that the Christmas of 1920 was the "wettest" in many years, but that is what many people have been heard to say. A generalization of this kin:; nni- bo Droved or disproved ana | men are prone to indulge in sweeping assertions. Anyway, the Christinas season was "wet" enough. It was as far from "dry" as one *could well imagine and the disorder and violence usually attendant upon excessive drinking were more ir. evidence than usual. Fairly good whiskey, so we arc told, is retailed at $12 or $15 a quart, and no low prices for any kind of alcoholic drink have been reported. Yet we have had a "wet" Christmas I with the price of cotton at 15 cents a pound and less and thousands of people crying aloud that they are "broke"* It msy he answered that desperation drives to drink, but one can not think that a man able to pay $12 a nuari for liquor, though he buy a single quart, ought to be desperate about money. ~We would not hastily concede that that "last measure of wine" voted oy the burghers of'Aix to "Roland, my horse without peer", for bringing "the t ? good news" from Cheat, was worth $12 a quart. J~iOW inucu niuue.y was ? ?* state for whiskey in the last fortnight thc^e is no way o festimating. but, in view of tfiie tall prices, the aggregate was probably n'ot for from that spent in dispensaries 20 years ago. The ISth amendment will not be long susHincd if the -enforcement of prohibition shall bo so lax in the United States as it has been in South I Carolina lately.. Candidates'for congress favoring change to a policy of. license rales of likgfc wines and hcers will begin to appear in the nrohifcition strongholds of tho t * j and West. The present condition will not be Ions endured. Until about five years ago tlic laws regulating the liquor traffic were oP.enly flouted in Charleston and in no other community of this state. Now. although there is much more concealment than there was in Charleston, . raoonshining, blind " "ipg and liquor-peddling'go on in so many parts of the stale. Besides a large portion of "the best people," including many of those who invariably -\lote for prohibition, who are forbidden by law to manu; factiire at home drinks, of any alcoholic content "for beverage purpose?," are succeeding in one way or another in protecting their reputations for hospitality. .' In another year a marked change in the direction of enforcement of prohibition will take place or there will be rebellion against the amend| ment and the Volstead act. I- ?
