BACK FROM IRELAND Tells of Conditions There—Peace Is Wanted He Says New York, Sept. 18.—Archbishop Michael Joseph Curley of Baltimore, successor In his archdiocese to the late Cardinal Gibbons, returned yes- terday by the White Star liner Caltic from a visit to his native land and the home in Athlone of his aged mother, declaring that he could not find words strong enough to express his opinion of ‘the handful of luded Irishmen inspired by De lera to bring about chaos in Ireland and wreck the country.” The arch- bishop {s tall, finely built, big eyed and eloquent and talks like a native American. In the steerage of the Celtic came | 26 young Irlshmen who had advdeat- cd the De Valera viewpoint and with whom the big archbishop had talked. He described them as “fine fellows who talked wild and did mot know what they were doing.” That was his estimate of most of the youngsters “trying to ruin their country.” The 26 aboard the liner apparently had become weary of a fight in which they realized that they were numerically an insignificant factor. 95 Per Cent Had Fought. The archbishop said: ‘“There nothing more evident in Ireland day than that the Irish people want the peace treaty and the Free State status. More than 95 per cent of the men who fought the ‘Black and Tans' are with the people for the Free State s and are being guided by the will of the people; in other words, Ireland is thoroughly democratic. At the head of the Irish government are men like Cosgrave, O'Nell, Hogan and oth- ers with whom I have talked, among the most brilllant souls Ireland ever has produced. “Only a very small proportion of the Irish people stand with De Valera and his irregulars, bent on destruc- tion, killing, burning and otherwise wrecking. They are without con- structive program, which is impossi- ble in so small a minority, perhaps not much more than 1 per cent of the people. argument, The people, being over- whelmingly for the Free State, greet the peoples army as their savicrs, and wherever that army appears the ir- regulars fly before them. Aid From America. “Behind De Valera, who seems to have completely lost his head, are the | Englishman Childers, the ex-English officer Barton and the Polish countess known in socialistic circles as Com- rade Markievicz. It is an anomalous situation, unintelligible and unnatural. | that | The worst feature about it is De Valera and his wreckers are re- celving help from supposed friends of | Ireland in the United States. No Am- erican true to American principles should give one moment's countenance to the present armed attack on the Irish peopie now being made by a disgruntled, disaffected set of men.” The archbishop has been since July 6, visiting France, England and Italy. He was accompanied by Mgr. L. R. Stickney, rector of the cathedral at Baltimore, and the Rev, Dr. Patrick Healy, professor of his-| He | tory in the Catholic university. will stop here several days as the guest of Mgr. L. J.

So he is always kept confined to the stockade, while his mate, Luna, @& good natured brute, has a howdah |strapped to her broad back ‘angd car- ries children about the elephant house enclosure. She seems to enjoy it, but after all, Khartum has the best of it most of the time, as he can thrust his trunk through the grat- |ing and be fed peanuts. Beyond the steel fence is another smaller fence, to keep visitohs back. | Roger can throw his trunk over it. He did this vesterday and a large crowd gathered to watch him. Among them were small boys. They had peanuts, |which they are not supposed to bring |into the park, and also pebbles. They | were not allowed under the park rules to feed the elephant, but no keepers were about and they fed him. But they alternated their pebbles and |peanuts. After he had received a few pebbles in his trunk, Khartum began to get angry. He got worse and worse las the boys threw pebbles at him. | Finally he began to stamp and snort and pull up tufts of grass and throw them high into the air. His sense of |injury kept oppressing him and pres- |ently he ripped away sections of the |steel fence that stood betwen him and his tormentors. The crowd began to scatter as soon as Khartum wrapped his trunk about [the fence and began tugging. As fast as Roger ripped away a section of |the fence he threw it into the air to- ward the crowd. Several chunks fell |among the spectators without hurt- ing any one, but one section hit Mrs. Josephine Geigrich of 4010 Third |avenue, the Bronx, on the hip and in |the abdomen. She had two little children with her and was so busy |getting them out of the way that she d not have time to escape Mrs. Geigrich fell. Some of crowd notified the elephant house |keepers, Walter Chuman and Dick | Richards. They went into the stock- ‘nde with eiephant hoops and forced |the big animal into the house, where |they tied it with chains. An ambu- lance call was sent in Fordham hospital and Dr. Levine responded. He sald the woman seemed to be hut, but she would not permit him to attend her. She went home with |friends.
