Mr, Birrell never asked why the volunteers existed. “If he had any policy other than merely drifting it was to turn a eye to the disloyal movement. The government persuaded itself that the treason could be overcome by reso- lutely looking the other way. The Times says: “The whole miserable business is a comment upon the complete failure of Mr. Birrell to maintain re- spect for law and order Such are the fruits of truckling to sedition and making light of contempt for law.” Sir Roger Casement's invasion ap- pears to have been the merest opera bouffe, the Times adds, the character of which will be thoroughly appre- ciated in Ireland The paper sug- gests that the Germans have grown tired of him nd his boasts and in- sisted that he redeem his promises. ““The Germans m: have calculat- } ed,” continued the Times, “that the rising in Ireland would influence cer- tain kinds of American opinion in their favor at a time when relations with the United States are critical. German societies and Irish societies in America have been working hand- in-glove to prejudice opinion against Great Britain.

It originally was pr pared as a circular note to other pow ers but it later was decided to issue it as a statement. The statement holds to the right of a merchant ship to arm for protec- tion only but declares that “‘merchant- men which have used their arma- ments for aggressive purposes are not entitled to the same hospitality in neu- tral ports as peaceful armed mer- chantment. VON BER) Decides to Permit Von Tgel to Iden- tify Seized Papers. Washington, April 26— Stanchfield of New York, acting as counsel for the German embassy, will confer with Secretary Lansing or Counsellor Polk of the state depart- ment here tomorrow about the pa- pers seized by agents of the depart- ment of justice from the New York office of Wolfe Von Tgel, secretary to Capt. Franz Von Papen, the with- drawn German military attache. Von Igel will acompany M. Stanchfield and if the state depart- ment officials wish, will identify any papers. The German embassy, it was said today. takes the position that the papers do not concern Count Von Bernstorff, the ambassador but pertain vurely to tho office of the military attache. For that reason it is contended the bassdor is not called upon to identify them. The papers are said to contain a startling list of names of persons in this country connected with alleged unneutral activities. Tt ha been pointed out that the identification a official of any of the papers by the ambassador himself would connect the embassy with the affairs disclos- ed in them. ENTERS PROTESTS ON RURAL CHANGES Delan John B. Postmaster ¥y Opposed to New Plan For Rural Carriers—Deliv- cry May Be Discontinued. The recent changes of the postoffice department in Washington, D. C,, whereby route No. 1 of the rural de- livery in Kensington is to be abolished on May 1 and in its stead the route i to be placed upon the shoulders of Rural Carrier Charles Peterson of this city, has caused a storm of pro- sts both from the officials in this city and residents in the area to be affect- ed by the change in Berlin. Accord- ing to the new ruling. Mr. Peterson will be forced to take care of his present route in this city and then go to the Berlin office, col- lect mail there and cover the new dis- tance. It means an addition of one and four-tenths miles and sixty addition- al stops, which include eight brick- rds numbering about 360 persons in this particular. Part of Car has been taken away from him and will be given to Rural Carrier Clough with an addition of three and five-tenth miles daily. Postmaster Delaney does not cherish the new changes to any extent as it will great- 1y hamper the service and he has written to the Washington officials protesting against it. Senator Lan- ders has also taken an active interest in the move and has been in consul- tation with some of the officials. Postmaster Delaney has been try- ing for some time to get better facilities for Barnesdale, which is one of the rapidly growing residential sections, but to date no action has been taken in the matter. Another matter which the Jocal vost office has under consideration is' petitioning for the abolishment of service in Seymour Park on account of the poor conditions of the roads. As it stands today the highways in part of the city are well nigh im- able, and despite the many r. quests made by the postal authori- ties to have something done in the matter, no attention has been paid to them by the res ts of that section, ier Peterson’s Toute \ITTEMPT ON LEGATION, Athens, April 26, via Paris, 3 m—A bomb t own tod; with the proposed intention of blowing up the Bulgarian legation struck the grating of a cellar window and rebounded into the court yard where it exploded.

It is also reported that considerable pressure is being brought to bear on Mayor Quigley to retain John Moore on the board of public work The members of the commission are loud in their praise of the services rendered by Mr. Moore and still have in mind recent changes in the board.
