a Tough One.
London, Eng, May 1.-THE most
dangerous factor in the Irish situa
ton, which has been recognized since
the brief uprising flashed in the pan
was that the punishment OF the rebels
would cause a reaction of sympathy
among the warmed hearted and emo.
tional people. This threatening dan.
&c: appears to be fast materializing.
Jack Dillon, one of the most re-
spected OF the Nationalists but often
one of the most bitterest antagonists
OF the british rule attacked the gov.

Litter denunciation, has not been sur.

Many of the newspapers, particularly
the liberal organs, call upon the Irish

GREAT BRITAIN ACCEPTED
AMBASSADORS PLAN
The British government has just
announced it's acceptance Of the plan
submitted by Walter Hines Page, the
American Ambassador for feeding the
population of Poland by an American
commission.
The acceptance carries, however,
certain rather difficult stipulations for
the Central Powers that the relief
must be applied to that portion of
Poland in Austrian occupation and
not confined, as Germany desires, to
that part occupied by Germany. 1t
is stipulated that the food is to be
shipped from the United States in
German ships under a neutral flag,
and that Germany and Austria, agree
as part of the scheme, to care prop
erly for the population of Serbia, AL.
bania and Montenegro.
