THE IRISH UPRISING.

A secret organization in Ireland
known as the Sim Feline startled
Great Britain and surprised the rest
of the world by rising in armed re-
volt at Dublin and several other points
In southern Ireland two weeks ago.
The rebels proclaimed the establish
ment OF the Irish republic, seized the
postoffice and other buildings in Dub
lin and held out for some days against
the troops sent to quell the uprising.
In the fighting number of persons
were killed and many more wounded
on both sides, and there was consider
able destruction of property by fire
in Dublin.
The instruction was soon quelled,
and there was little bloodshed out
side of Dublin, the rebels at other
points surrendering when they were
convinced that the movement had col
lapsed at the capital.
Many of the leading spirits Of the
reasonable revolt were tried and con-
Victed by courtsmartial. A dozen or
more OF these were shot and a num-
Der OF others condemned to terms of
Imprisonment. Sir Roger Easement.
whose arrest for alleged complicity
IN the rebellion and for attempting to
import arms and munitions of war
from Germany for the use of the re-
pels occurred almost simultaneously
with the proclamation of revolt, is a
prisoner IN the Tower Of London and
his trial for high treason is to begin
next Monday.

AS a result of this new outrage

agreement on plan for joint pur-
suit OF Villa and the prevention of
D,rigandage and border raids, and al
though many sensational press des-
patches are being published to indi-
cate the probability of a disagree
ment between the two governments on
the subject, official advices are uni
tormly OF a different tenor. It is
scarcely to be believed that the Car
rama regime will deliberately take a
position provocative of rupture
With the United States, since such 4

GERMANY ACCEDES TO UNITED
STATES DEMANDS.

Responsive to the recent note from
the United States demanding such
change in the German submarine
policy as will make it conform to the
recognized principles of civilized war
fare, international law, neutral rights
and freedom Of the seas, the German
government has replied that the sug-
gestions and wishes of the United
States will be followed out in the fu-
ture, and that instructions have ac-
cordingly been issued to commanders
Of submarines that it is hoped will
avoid reason for further protest or
complaint on the part of the United
States.
The German note alleges violations
of neutral rights and the freedom of
the seas by Great Britain. and infers
that as condition of the German gov
ernment's continued compliance with
the views of the United States on
these questions the latter should ex-
act similar compliance on the part of
Great Britain.
In a brief reply our government
has expressed its satisfaction over the
assurances contained in the German
note, which are accepted as given in
good faith, but the statement is prop
erly made that the obligation of the
German government to observe and
abide by the terms of its agreement
with the United States cannot be re-
garded as affected by or dependent
upon the relations or negotiations be-
tween the United States and other
governments.
There cannot fail to be a general
feeling of satisfaction and relief
throughout the country that the
threatened break with Germany has
again been averted, and it is to be
hoped there will be no further provo
cation on either side for severance
of diplomatic relations nor an inter-
ruption of the friendship that has al
ways subsisted between the two coun-
tries.

OUR PATRIOTIC TEACHERS.

The Chief cannot withhold from
the patriotic and public-spirited mem
bers of the faculty of the Donaldson
vile High School a sincere and hearty
tribute of appreciation ard praise for
their action in agreeing to teach two
weeks without pay in order to fill out
nine-months' term.
Owing to the failure to receive the
full state appropriation due the agri-
cultural and high schools, these in
stitutions have been compelled to cur
tail their current terms from two
weeks to month The Ascension
school board was able to continue the
local school in operation two weeks
after the completion of the eighth
scholastic month, and the teachers Of
the institution generously signed an
agreements to teach the following two
weeks without recompense.
This agreement was presented to the
school board on Wednesday and CRATE
fully accepted by that body, which, in
common with all the people of Assem-
sion, must view with qualification not
unmixed with humiliation the willing
ness Of these already underpaid pub
lie servants to make still further
contribution to the community good.
1t is lamentably unfortunate that the
occasion for such a sacrifice should
arise, and the people of Louisiana
ought in all conscience to awaken to
the necessity Of making adequate pro.
vision for public education hence.

JUST AMONG OURSELVES.

We, the people of Donaldsonvllie,
owe it to ourselves in the hrsr place
and to our friends and neighbors sec

matter of encouraging and supporting
our own fair. We have been much

aldsonville chosen as the site for the
important, extensive and constantly
growing exposition conducted an
nually by the South Louisiana Fair
Association, and our community de-
rives the greatest share of benefit and
profit from the enterprise, therefore
it is plainly our duty to accord gen
erous and hearty need of cooperation
to all the plans devised by the man
agement for promoting the success
and continued enlargement of the
fair.
What we should do right now,
everyone Of US, is to back up with
our four-bits pieces and our active IN
fuence the .'buy-a-key" movement
which has been heretofore referred to
in these columns and is further elu-
cidated in letter from Secretary
Manager Vickers printed in another
part of today's Chief.
AS Mr.. Vickers says, not cent of
commission is being paid for the sale
of these keys. which are to be used
in lieu of tickets of admission to the
fair in October, and none of the
money derived from the sale of the
symbols is to be disbursed for present
expenses-it will all be set aside to
be added to the gate receipts.
Ready sale has been found for the
keys in New Orleans and elsewhere,
but there has not as yet been such a
degree of interest in the project man.

now on until the opening of the fair
