NO EASY TASK
TO VISIT HEA
OF SINN FEIN
DUBLIN, Aug. 16 (by Associated
Press).—Arthur Griffith, editor ol
Young Ireland and the political head oi
Sinn Fein, is said to be one of the mosl
isolated and inacessible men in Ire
land. The few visitors daily receiver
by him say they are impressed by th<
unpretentiousness of his surroundings
He is as difficult to see, they say, as
any big American political leader.
No person not known to Griffitt
may visit him in his office withou
previous arrangements made by some
one high in the confidence of Sint
Feinn. The situation is much ths
same as a stranger attempting an in
terview' with a cabinet officer at Wash
ington.
Relieved that the irksome prelimi
naries have ended the stranger is
taken down a side street, usherd int<
an unimposing room and led up tw(
flights of narrow, umpainted steps t(
an office. Inside the front door th(
stranger is confronted with a pine
board partition with one small dooi
through which he is taken. He passes
through a scene familiar in any small
tOAvn neAVspaper omce into an umnvit
ing room where Griffith holds forth
The furniture consists of a table in the
middle of the room and a feA\r chairs.
There is no necessity noAV nor has
there been for many months for Grif
fith to surround his movements Avitl
secrecy. It has been stated that a Avar
rant for his arrest is ready but man}
leading Sinn Feiners believe govern
ment officials consider him a moderat
ing influence and Avorth more direct
Ing the party’s activities than lookec
upon as a martyr in jail.
Griffith is as unassuming as his
surroundings are unpretentious. Tc
one AAdio does not express convictions
on the Irish question and therefori
safety does not have any, Griffith
leaves outstandingly the impressioi
that he has ceased to believe an}
English government in Ireland exists
The one idea left is that the Republi
can government is ruling the countrj
properly but having some difficult}
Avith an army of occupation and a num
her of policemen.
“Our volunteers are maintaining
order A\rhere representatives of th<
British government could not, oui
courts are organized and respected
and other branches of our govern
ment are Avorking smoothly " said Mr
Griffith to a correspondent.
Griffith’s sphere is only political
the planning an execution of force oi
arms under jurisdiction of the volun
teer army.
“THIEVES’ ISLE”
AGAIN PASSES
TO NEW HANDS
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16 (by As
sociated Press).—The passing of Ma
gellan’s “isle of the thieves,” the La
drones, from German to Japanese
control, marks the third time within
a generation that the inhabitants have
been subjected to a change in offi
cial language.
“I’m going home to move my family
south of Guam a few miles under the
Stars and Stripes, where they can
talk any language they please,” de
clared Juan Flores, discharged soldier
at the marine corps recruiting station
here before departing to the Pacific
island.
He told how his parents were con
tent under the Spanish rule, when in
1899, the Ladrones, known also as the
Marianne Islands, were disposed of
the southern islands of Guam going tc
the United States and the northern
Islands, including Saipan, where his
family lived, being sold to Germany
The Spanish, in the days when they
had taken the island from the Portu
guese, decreed Spanish as the offi
cial language.
The Germans in 1899 made Gerrnar
the official language.
Now, as a result of the war, Ger
man control of the Marianne islands
with the Marshall and Caroline groups
went to Japan and Japanese is the of
ficial language.
The population of the Mariannes un
der Japanese control is 10,000 oi
whome about 3,000 are Japanese.

TRAVELERS ON
UTAH DESERT
NEAR DEATH
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 16 (by
: Associated Press).—Two parties of
! | automobile travelers became lost on
1 unmapped roads in Utah deserts re
■ cently and only reached safety after
experiences as harrowing as some of
1 those the pioneers underwent.
Arthur Lawrence of Delta, Utah,
> started on a vacation trip with his
wife and their two children, eleven
i and five years old. They determined
- to take a new and little traveled road
• but after going about sixty miles
i their car broke down.
• Lawrence took a quart bottle of
■ water and started to walk back to
• Delta for help. After fainting from
heat and fatigue sometime in the after
noon and recovering in the cool of the
evening, he reached the settlement
of Hickley, in such a condition that
he was unable to tell of the plight
of his family. Friends took him to
Delta and there he recovered suf
ficiently to ask aid for his family.
About noon the day following the
breakdown, Mrs. Lawrence started to
walk to Delta with the children. They
had gone five miles before they met
the rescue party.
L. C. Burton and Mrs. Burton, of
Washington, D. C., constituted the
1 other party. They were taking a
• “short cut” north of the Great Salt
Lake at the time and found on it a
■ broken down car whose sole occupant
' | was a small boy. The boy said his
• | father had gone to a ranch for water.
• j They gave the boy some of their
■ dwindling supply of water and later
gave what remained to the dogs and a
canary bird they were taking east
1 with them. Their car breaking down
1 some hours later, they determined to
|
! walk back to that which they had
s passed earlier in the day. Hurrying
i through the heat, exhaustion was soon
i added to their troubles. One of the
dogs was unable to walk further and
| Mr. Burton carried it. Mrs. Burton
carried a peach pit in her mouth to
alleviate the thirst, and bit down on it
unconsciously and broke three of her
teeth. Mr. Burton said that their
| principal anxiety was that the car
;, they sought would be gone before they
! could reach it. After eight hours
1 walking and running they reached
the car.
I
i Another party of automobilists had
come up, including two University of
| California professors, and this party
carried the Burtons back to their own
car. With the aid of the Californians
the Burton car was started again and
i continued the trp.
CURFEW LAW
VICTIMS ARE
ON CREASE
DUBLIN, Aug. 16 (by Associated
■ Press).—The number of persons who
, are victims of the curfew law in
creases weekly and the experience
which they all must go through is
exciting, if not comfortable. The ma
jority of those taken by the military
are persons who had no intention of
violating the law but are detained at
the home of a friend beyond midnight.
The usual procedure is this. A mil
itary motor lorry filled with soldiers
each with a strong searchlight comes
up along side of the unfortunate ones
and calls upon them to halt. A re
quest is made for a permit and if, as
is usual, there is none forthcoming
the Dublinites are taken into custody,
loaded into the truck which then pro
! ceeds on its way.
From time to time, joyful citizens,
; who have dined too well, are collected
and join the party. When the search
ers are through the whole load of vio
lators are taken to the Bridwell prison
where they must spend -the night. If
the offenders prove to be obviously
innocent citizens they are released in
the morning and are none the worse
off except for the ride in the lorry
wrhich they say is the worst feature
of the experience.
Frequently attempts are made to
hide from the approaching lorries
but the searchlights reach the inner
most corners of the doorways and
passages and few escape.
After the show drop into the Alaskan
Grill and enjoy a prime cup of coffee
and French puff pastry. 80-tf

MEANT NO DISCOURTESY
IN CALLING HIM FOCH
PARIS, Aug. 16 (by Associated
Press).—“Foch will keep us waiting
about fifteen or twenty minutes,” said
the sentry at the Gare du Nord while
the special train that was to bear j
the French delegation to Spa was be
ing shunted on the siding.
An elderly little man, wearing the
undress uniform of a general of divi
sion, Military Medal, War Cross and
Legion of Honor, sauntered up and
quite amiably said: “You might at
least call him ‘Marshal Foch.’
The soldier took one glance at the
general, then standing rigid at atten
tion, replied: “One never says ‘Mar
shal Caesar or Marshal Napoleon,’
Monsieur le Marechal.”
Smiling broadly Foch entered the
special train.
