London, Feb. 24.
The Lord Mayor of Cork, Mr. James Hickey, today refused to participate in the welcome to the German Naval training ship, the Schlesien, which is due in Cork tomorrow, owing to "the insult to the Catholic world on the death of the Pope, when the responsible German press termed the Holy Father as a political adventurer."
The officers and crew of the Schlesien will be welcomed by the Eire Army Commander of Cork and a reception will be held by him for the German officers.—Reuter.
