Great Britain Is
Scored for Stand
a Toward Ireland
-YComcn Charge Government
'Willi' Lack of Sincerity in
Testimony Before Comniit
N tee of 100 at Washington.
; v - -
Washington, Dec. 21 An arraign
ment of the coalitfon goverumenttfor
vhat;was described as "its lack of
sincerity injts policy toward Ire
land";, was presented today by two
English women to the commission
of all the committee of 100 investi
gating the Irish question.
Miss Helen C. Wilkinson pf Man
chester, one of 10 women who invest
igated conditions in Ireland for the
, Women's International League, de
clared that if a referendum were
taken, it would be folind that the
"mass of British opinion was not
behind the government in its pres
ent policy toward.: Ireland." Mrs.
Annot E. Robinson, also on Man
chester, joined her in the declara
tion that while the British public
hardly was ready to accept, the Sinn
Fein plan of an Irish republic,
"Ireland can be won yet" if the gov
ernment adopts a sincere policy.
. Both women indicated their belief
that 'dominion home rule would
prove the final solution of the Irish
question. .
Reprisals Described.
Both women told of the burning
of i homes and the ' destruction S ot
property in Ireland. . i
"While Euglish opinion is becom
ing more aroused to the needs of a
proper policy in Ireland," Miss Wil
kinson said, "it has been hard for us
to believe that our men wfe" com
mitting the crimes-with which they
were accused. I had-a brother in
the military service ' who was sta
tioned for a time in Ireland."
Miss Wilkinson described " re
nrisals hv the militarv in Cork whichr
v she said, she witnessed in October. I
"At 10 o'clock at night," she
said, "the curfew sounded, and the
streets became quiet with startling
suddenness. Lights were cut off
ami up the street on which my hotel
was situated, 'came a body of in
fantry in extended formation. A
searchlight from the end of . Jhe
street plated upon their glistening
bayonets and steel helrflets. Three
armored cars followed and behind
them came lorries filled with men.
The troops moved with precision
and discipline through the quiet
streets. Suddenly they commenced
firing, methodically, into the houses.
They marched back and forth and
until 3 o'clock the next morning I
could hear constant firing and the
challenges of sentries." ,
Passport Vised
Mrs. Robinson told of the refusal
of American Consul Wells at Man
chester to vise the passpprts to
America of herself and Miss Wilk
inson. After the refusal she visited
I he office of the consul general at
London, she said, and when she re
turned to Manchester her passport
was vised after she had promised not
to "engage in propaganda or to give
interview for the newspapers." '
.Destruction of co-operative indus
try and agriculture in Ireland' is a
deliberate effort by the military to
force immigratioryof the young meir,
Wilkinson said. Lord French, she
said, had declared that Ireland could
be pacified, "if the 300,000 young
men" would leave. '
The-'comrhission tomorrow will
hear Misses Annie and Susan Walsh,
sisters-in-law of the late Lord Mayor
McCurtain of Cork, who left Cork
Ine day after the burning of the,
business sectvn of that cityr

Some copper-banded and

master mechanics and of
the very best Tennessee

One of these would mean
a real sensible gift and
