A. P. A. A-vt—
NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—The office of
the Irish World, the most widely read
lrish-Amerlcau publication In the
eountry, was raided by agents of the
federal government yesterday after
noon because of a suspicion that the
paper possessed guilty nowledge of or
Is an actual accomplice of the Teutonic
plotters and munition plant destroyers
whose activities have been disturbing
the country.
The paper Is strongly anti-Brltlsh
in sentiment and has been loudly es
pouslng the cause of the Uermana
throughout the wur period, while bit
terly attacking the allies on account
of their British affiliations. It Is said
that the raid was actuated by the dis
covery that many of those who are
known to be connected with bomb plots
made their headquarters at the office
of the publication. What evidences
was unearthed, If any, has not been
given to the public.

Not including the loss of the steam

sunk during the last few weeks, toe
lotai monetary loss was *3,86./,llUU.
the steamers Edith and Mariposa will
bring the total loss up at least *3l)u,
uuo more.
Had the government spent as much,
or half as much, as this for addi
tional surveys of the waters, it is
more than likely that the majority
of them would have been saved, as
many of them were lost on uncharted!

ARLINGTON CEMETERY.
r • ■
(Washington Star.)
Arlington cemetery becomes more
and more a treasure of the nation as
patriot bones are paid there.
The number of men at rest there
grows. The new parts, or the south
ern acres of the cemetery, are being
closely dotted with white and gray
stones which promlso son to be as
numerous as those in the older or
oak-sheltered section of the grounds.
.Monuments other than the individual
monuments are being dedicated there.
Wtthlna few years have been con
secrated the Spanish war monuments,
erected by the Legion of Loyal Wo
men; the confederate monument, the
monument to the army nurses of the
Philippines and the rough riders'
monument. Soon will be dedicated the
Maine .monument, and then will follow
uie erection of uie new amphitheater,
soldiers of Uie revoiulion. of the sec
juu v\ur with England, of Uie many
,nman ware, of the Mexican war and
thousands of the soldiers of the civil
war, tile Dpuinsh war and tlie Philip
pine insurrection uie buried there.
Very likely among the revolutionary
soldiers resting ther6 are men who
.ought in the French and Indian wars.
Arlington is close to Washington
geographically, but too far by Uie
routes of travel. A memorial bridge
would link Arlington to Washington
in a direct way, rectify tlie isolation
■ i tlie Lincoln memorial and consti
.uie in Itself a magnificent national
monument.

THE FIVE CENT HOTEL.
(Philadelphia Ledger.)
Despite tlie fuel iliat it costs as hi
de as 1 cent to buy a supper and only :
jl nickel for a night's lodging at the j
uuiug F. Dawes hotel in Chicago, u.
Tilings and in service the hotel com
pares very favorably- with its bight r-1
priced competitors. The building isj
.specious, well lighted and thoroughly j
ventilated, and fortunately the archi-i
icct, Arthur U. Drown, evinced a liuej
. ease of beauty in its designing. Tne
loboy, with its heavy stone fireplace j
and decorative ulantei, its dull oak
woodwork and simple colonial luiuirj
rule, suggests Die accommodations;
Tiered by extensive clubs.
The guest of tlie hotel registers alj
.lie clerks desk with no formality nor!
luestions asked. His name is entered
ai me register, and tiiat is ail. Five
cents buys a locker, a comfortable bed
.ml the privilege of a shower bath,
une, two, three or live cents buys sup
per, Ten cents is sufficient for a pri
vate room, or cubicle, more accurately.
The guest pays for what he gets, and
he is under no more obligation to the
management than are the patrons of
the Bellevue-Stratford.
The hotel management does not per
mit propaganda of any sort. There’s
no preaching of religion nor of eco
nomics. Friends of the founder have
wondered that teaching of some sort
was not tacked upon the hotel. "That
is something else again; hire a hall."
is tiie invariable reply made to such
suggestions. Mr. Dawes repeats: "We
are running a hotel.”
At 5 o’clock every afternoon the
doors of the hotel are opened, und
they are kept open until 10:15. With
in the course of a few hours all of
the 611 beds are rented. A great fire
roars In the open fire place of the lob
by, and about the room in small
gtoups are scattered a hundred or so
guests. Others sit in the lounge in the
basement. Men of sundry vocations
are assembled, but almost to a man
they are workers. It is a pleasant
place to pass an evening. You are cer
tain to meet some fellow full of the 1
taste of strange places and of rare
adventures.
At certain seasons certain of the
guests of the hotel earn large wages
and others of them have seen times
of affluence. From a lack of fore
sight sometimes and more often from
the necessities of seasonal work, the
men run very low tn money during
dull times. The Rugus F. Dawes hotel
enables them to live without accept
ing charity. But even so. the bill of
fare is attractive. Here it Is:
Roll or doughnut .1 cent
Meat hash, hamburger, spag
hetti .3 ceqi#
Bowl of soup and coffee with
milk and sugar .2 cents
Meat and bread, soup and cof
fee .5 cents
Pie of all varieties. 3 cents
The food Is all well cooked, and It
is made of good materials. The soup
or stew is made of vegetables on a
meat foundation and is exceedingly
nutritious.
