SWEPT BY BLAZE
THE HAGUE.—Lack of dwellings
already great in Constantinople, was
increased by the devastating fire
of May 31, details of which are giv
|en by the Balkan correspondent of
I the Xieuwe Rotterdamsch Courant.
Its ravages have added to the gen
eral misery of the Turkish capital.'
where spotted typhus still carries
off an average of thirty victims
daily. Living there is frightfully
| dear, and the intestinal disorders
which the warm season brings every
I year have arrived earlier than usual
i owing to the inadequate food.
The fire was caused by a lighted
cigarette being thrown into the cor
ner of a room. Over a distance
of two and a half miles it spread,
right across old Stamboul. from
northeast to southwest, burning
away a strip of from a third to
five-eights of a mile wide. Halfway
on the course the flames branched
out in a southerly direction. Ten
districts of the city were swept and
more than 5.000 houses. 20 baths,
a dozen bazaars and about 10 mos
ques were destroyed. More than
200,000 persons were left home
less.
The burned district is almost in
the center of the city.
Government offices and houses
of a number of high officials were
hastily evacuated, as well as the
principal hospitals and schools in
the vicinity.

FEIN PLAN
TO AID HAND
PLBLIN.—Some of the older
Irish priests, particularly in County
' AA exford, have been speaking out
strongly against the Sinn Feiners.
\ ery Rev. Canon Walsh, presiding
at a meeting of the CrossaOeg and
| Ballymurm branch of the United
Irish League, said the prospect be
fore Ireland was a gloomy one, as
the "criminal lunacy of Sinn Fein”
| "'as turning all Ireland's friends
i against her. By insulting and tramp
| ling upon the American flag and
cheering for Emperor William, he
said, the "unruly Sinn Fein faction"
was turning the French republic,
the American nation and the Eng
lish democracy into bitter enemies
of Ireland.
Rather than gain independence
for Ireland they were more likely
to gain twenty years of coercion
and martial law, if any general
support were accorded by Irishmen
to the antics of the "miserable fac
tion” whose record, said Canon
AA aish, so far. was one of dissension,
disruption and disaster. The dem
ocracy of England, he continued,
was favorably disposed towards
Irishmen and was willing to do
them justice, but they would never
consent to the sheer lunacy of total
separation and, until tLe evil spirt
of Sinn Fein was banished from the
land, Ireland would labor under the
yoke of oppression.
Resolutions were passed at the
meeting condemning the latest Ger
man outrage in murdering seven in
nocent fishermen off the Gayway
coast, and denouncing the Gaelic
Leagle as a "feeder of Sinn Fein.”

IRELAND SEND BIG
FOOD QUOTA AWAY
j PI- BLIX.—Ireland sends more
i food to Great Britain than is re
j tained for home consumption, ac
cording to the Irish Department of
: Agriculture. Prior to the war Ire
land sent more food to England
than any other country except the
(United States. In 1917, the ship
ments from Ireland were valued at
! £59,000.000.
| It is claimed by the Department
| of Agriculture that Ireland produces
40 per cent of the cattle and 30
per cent of the pigs of the United
Kingdom.
