IRELAND NOT PRO-GERMAN
Dublin, May 30.?(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)?
"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

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

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.

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

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.

! why, can anyone tell me, do German

for your factories. Just because
Germany is at war and destined

VOLOGDA AGAIN AN
IMPORTANT CENTER
Vologda, Russia, March 21.? (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.

irithout violating the law is to go out
f the State, purchase it and bring it
iack himself for his personal use.
It is expected that constitutionality
if the law will be tested. But since
he higher courts of the State recess
or their summer vacation the last
if the present month, and do not conrene
again until October, court action
lesigned to interrupt enforcement of
he law may not be taken for several
nonths. * )
The chief contention against ?
aw's constitutionality is that it vioates
that provsion which accords
ocal option to counties. '
The law permits the use of alcoholc
stimulants as medicines "in case
f actual sickness" if purchased on
mtten prescription of a physician.
Jse of alcohol also is permitted for
acremental, scientific or mechanical

Violation of any provision of the
