"Ireland is not pro-German," declare all the Irish leaders, but there is a considerable element in Dublin, Cork, and other Irish cities, that is ready to cry "Up the Hun" at every opportunity. During the week following the arrest of De Valera and the other Sinn T3>?.* 1 J aT. _ -A- ' " emu icuucTo, trie strains 01 tne "Watch on the Rhine" were frequently heard on Dublin streets, sung by small crowds of Sinn Fein sympathizers. It has been frequently re corded that Irish hoodlums at the moving picture theaters have hissed pictures of British and American American soldiers and sailors, and a letter in a Dublin newspaper this week states that a moving picture audience cheered a picture of the medal cast by the Germans to commemorate the sinking of the Lusitania. One of the most remarkable scenes which The Associated Press correspondent witnessed in Dublin was the enthusiastic cheering of a shipload of German interned prisoners, who \vere being taken from a camp in Ireland to a camp on the Isle of Man. A crowd of several hundred persons, mostly wearing Sinn Fein colors and waving Sinn Fein flags, stood on the quay and sang the Sinn Fein "Soldiers' Song" to the departing prisoners. Many of the members of the crowd were relatives by marriage of the interned aliens. The prisoners were practically the entire population of a camp established early in the war at Oldcastle, Ireland for German civilian prisoners. They were 450 in number, and were embarked from a Dublin dock on a Sundav mnrninc T^rnm ?r? ?ni?1?r hour their Irish friends began gathering along both sides of the river. A strong military force was present and took complete possession of the quay alongside which the steamer was berthed. Before the special train carrying the prisoners arrived at the dock, there appeared a freight train of ten cars, containing the "baggage" of the Germans. This amounted to ten car-loads of the most unusual haggage that was ever handled on the bank of the River Jaflfey. There were pianos, double-bass violins, and the whole set of instruments for the camp band; there were sailors' sea trunks of great variety; there was a grandfather clock of hup:? proportions, and a complete set of theatrical "properties" and stage scenery, which told of entertainments past or for future production. Khaki-clad dockmen perspired over the job of arranging, these mountains of baggage into slings, hoisting them on board the steamer, and stowing the stuff away in the hold. The train with the German and Austrian travellers arrived in the sta tion across the road from the river, and was cheered by the crowd outside i!\ t??\ [NO ls of deep thoug Lgle, we have d< er July 1st, 11 Is charged to " more we have enjoyed the e^ "TO OUR CUSTOMERS, F] host of friends of the establi; have come into the business : worries, expense, the losses Greater Eft charge accounts with us for casion to thank you, one and VIlt> NOW T the gates. Handkerchiefs were waved by the women, and the prisoners waved back out of the train windows. Several times the crowd made a rush towards the quayside, but the military and police allowed no entrance to the dock sheds and the crowd of onlookers finally took up positions on top lumbsr piles Icwcx down the river wall, where the boat could be seen and cheered as it started down the river. Sinn Fein scarfs and ribbons were worn by most of the women in the crowd. A similar crowd quickly coljlected on the south wall, across the river, wnere tne men ana women sung over and over the Sinn Fein song, and cheered themselves hoarse as the deportees were brought onto the decks of the steamer. Then suddenly the strains of a brass band, pidying a medley oi German airs, floated out on the water It was the aliens' camp band in action. As they played, the boat started, cheers were raised again, the steamer gained headway, the eheeri ing died down and the crowds began to disperse. The soldiers and police |on the docks filed back to their barracks and the festivities were ovc. w. s. s. INJURING THEMSELVES BY FRIENDLINESS TO GERMANY Barcelona, Spain, June 20.?(Correspondence of The Associated Press). ?Captain F. H. Iia Guardia, of New York City, representative in the American congress, has told the Spanish people th'at they and their government are injuring themselves uy irienanness toward Uermany. He pointed out in an interview given to the Barcelona la Publicidad that while Spain was taking this attitude, her vessels carrying raw materials vitally necessary to Spanish industries were being ruthlessly sunk by German submarines. Publication of the interview has caused a stir throughout Spain. Representative La Guardia has completed a trip through Spain to study the effect of the many-sided German propaganda floated there. He finds that about r>0 per cent of the "thinking n1ftoctAni? ? iL viuooca ill U|iaill iuc avuwcuiy 1UI l/Ilt? entente against Germany, but that the great mass of the wdrking classes, and the Spanish government thus fnr, have been swayed by the German press campaign especially by the anti-Americnn feature of it. to disregard Spain's real interests. The government, he believes, would turn to a pro-entente attitude, at least, if American standpoints and ideals were better known. This, however, he thinks is impossible as long as the Germanophile portion of the press continued to keep alive bitterness resulting from the Spanish-American War and the loss of Cuba and the Philippines while it be littles or ignores the sinking of Spanish ships with the consequent loss of materials intended to keep Spanish industry alive.

Then ! why, can anyone tell me, do German submarines lie in wait off the Spanish shores in order to sink Spanish ships carrying raw materials for Spanish factories to work with? Are the Germans and Austrians at war with the Spanish working people that they seek to deprive them of their m^ana of livelihood? Because surely ftr"is no punishment to the United States when German submarines sink Spanish ships bringing raw cotton for the mills of Catalonia. "Germany is trying to weaken you by crippling your industries through the destruction of your mercantile fleet. Since 1915 Germany has destroyed not less than 78 of your merchant ships with a total tonnage of over 160,000 tons. They were mostly foming to Spain laden with raw materials for your factories. Just because Germany is at war and destined to defeat is no reason why she should destroy the Spanish merchant fleet. Germany does not want Spanish commerce to flourish. "We want to do business with Spain. Business with us after the war will be on an equal footing with reciprocal profits and mutual advantages. Business with Germany will mean to what it has always meant?commercial dominion and industrial exploitation. "Our victory means your prosperity." w. s. s. Mrs. G. T.

(Correspondent of The Associated Press). ?The German drive into Russia and the peace treaty signed by the Boisheviki have brought back to Votogda some oi the importance which it had in the days of Peter the Great. When the American ambassador, David R. Francis, selected Vologda for the site of his embassy to Russia during the period when Petrograd was threatened by German occupation, the little city took on new life. Prices of foodstuffs soared and, as more and more Americans came to the city, rooms were at such a premium that some members of the embassy staff were forced to use for several w'eeks their train berths as sleeping quarters. The only quarters which could be found by Consul Treadwell for the American consulate were rooms in a huge barn-like hotel "known as the Hermitage, which was full of German prisoners and Russian soldiers. The consulate's room was just across the hall from the German prisoners' headquarters, but some of these prisoners apparently did not know America was in the war. Some of them came into the consulate the first day it opened and asked if the Americans were still handling the matter of prisoners' relief. The embassy was made welcome and a huge wooden structure formerly used as a merchants' club was turned over for its use.
