Gives Interview on Irish Uprising Father O'Brien
Makes Interesting Comment on Situation
Personal Friend of Leader of Expedition.

Rev. Michael O'Brien, pastor of St.
Thomas Catholic Church, York av.

ment, remarked that the situation in
Ireland where there is rebellion
against the British government, is
serious beyond anything that the Lon
don news indicates and amounts prac.
tically to revolution, having for its
purpose the freeing Of Ireland from
the British yoke" In some of its
aspects, Father O'Brien said, the stu.
alton is the most serious, relative to
the stability of the British empire,
that has developed since the European
war began.
"For more than year arms and
ammunition have been going secretly
into Ireland" he said I'VE cannot
know how strong the opposition force
may really be, but there is no doubt
whatever that the outbreak is very
serious for the British government"

organizations in Minneapolis, was the

TO BRING EUcHARIsTIc CON-

A writer in the Catholic Standard
and Times Of Philadelphia advocates
the holding Of the next international

GUS countries of Europe will have

ticity. With almost 100 dioceses and
a Catholic population exceeding six
teen million souls, it ought to be pos
sible to do that which England, with
her fifteen dioceses and four million
Catholics, or Belgium, with her six
dioceses and seven million Catholics,
were able to accomplish. There is.
moreover, the additional advantage
that Eucharistic Congress in the
United States would be in reality an
international one, for every race and
tongue can be represented.

There was an open revolt against
Great Britain in Ireland early last
Tuesday morning. Nationalists seized
the greater part of Dublin and IL
were killed in street battles, and the
city was cut off from telegraphic and
cable communications to the world.
An attempt of the Germans to land
a force in the south of the Emerald
Isle, under the leadership of Sir
Roger Easement, the famous Irish
Nationalist, was unsuccessful and re-
suited in the arrest of the famous
peer. A strong German squadron
attacked the east coast Of England,
while Britain was wrestling with the
Irish troubles. In their spectacular
dash the German vessels engaged a
British fleet and after a sharp en-
gagement successfully escaped with
out damage. The naval attack was
accompanied by determined Zep-
pelin raid that resulted in consider
able damage.
The censored press report of the
trouble is given as follows:
London, April 25.-1rish rebels are
in possession Of four or five parts
of the city of Dublin, after "a hours
of most serious rioting, Augustine
Birrell, chief secretary for Ireland, an

Certain That Attempt to Free Ireland Would Not
Be Attempted if Chances Were Not
of the Best.

No one in America, perhaps, knows
the famous Sir Roger Easement any
better than Miss Mary McFadden,
Minneapolis newspaperwoman, who
returned last month from a trip
through Germany.
News of the revolution in Ireland
failed to surprise her. She predicted
the attempt with great certainty on
her arrival from Europe but she ad.
mitted last Tuesday that the sally
was made sooner than she had anti
cipated.
She was inclined to doubt, though,
that Sir Roger had been placed under
arrest and the expedition turned into
failure.
II am sure that the attempt would
never have been made unless the
men back of it were certain of sue.

"The whole proposition had been
carefully mapped out and those in
charge were determined not to make
a move until success was positive
She was eloquent in her description
of Sir Roger, whom she painted as a

at London reports that his reason had
been unseated by the war and called
him one of Ireland's ablest men.

FATHER o'HARA DEAD.
Was One Of the Poison Soup Victims
at Chicago Banquet.

Rev. Father John F. O'Hara, rector
of the Church of st. Matthew, Brook
lyn, died from heart disease on April
1S, aged Sc. He was one of the thirty
Brooklyn priests who accompanied
Bishop Mundelein to Chicago and was
poisoned by the soup prepared by the
missing Jean Crones for the dinner
at the University Club in that city.
He was stricken shortly after taking
several spoonfuls of the soup. At the
rectory it was said that Father O'Hara
had fully recovered from the poison
and that 1t was not contributory to
his death.

Policy in Asia.

which has yet to prove its military
superiority; that Russia is not in a
position to fight only in front of it's
own door, like England; that Russia
fights where she, can see benefit and
achieve something.
British Prime Minister Asquith is
alleged to have answered that Eng
land has made tremendous sacrifices
for Russia and that it will even in.
augurate universal conscription.
Russian Prime Minister Sturmer de-
clared in reply that England is fight
ing for her mistakes, while Russia is
fighting for her rights; that England
might have avoided universal service
but did not follow the proper course
He also informed the British govern
ment that Russia is carrying on the
war to achieve the Russian aims and
goal; therefore Russa's interests must
be recognized.
Receiving a sharp answer from
England, Russia declined to take part
in the Conference. But through
Frances mediation an agreement was
reached which caused Russia to senC
a delegate.
When the Conference met, sharl
clashes and exciting scenes are alleged
| to have taken place.
Premier Asquith insisted that the
fate of Europe must be decided ir
Europe and therefore Russia's armies
could be used more advantageously IL
Europe itself.
Thereupon General Shilinski, who i.
the Cars aide-de-camp, in the name
of his sovereign and government iron

The alleged debate, in which Franc
is said to have been inclined to joi
with Russia, while Italy and Belgium
took Englands side, became yer
heated.
