-FOUR IRISH REBELS EXECUTED
Pearse, Connolly, Clark and Mac
Donagh, Leaders of the Re-
cent Irish Revolution,
Shot

London, May 4.-''No mercy" is
the watchword of the government in
disposing of the high chiefs of the
short-lived Irish revolution.
Four of them were shot this MORN
ing after a swift trial by the military
authorities. One of these was Pat
rick H. Pearse. who had proclaimed
himself provisional president of the
Irish republic" Another was James
Connolly, "commandant-general of
the Irish republican army" The
other two firing squad victims we're
Thomas J. Clark and Thomas Mac
Donagh. They. like Pearse and Con-
molly, had signed their names to the
republican proclamation and led
their adherents in arms against the
government.
There were seven signatures at the
foot of the proclamation. The other
three signers, S. McDiarmad, cannon
Ceaunt and Joseph Plunket, we're
sentenced to three years imprison-
ment.
Majority Duped By Leaders
1t is understood the rank and file
of the captured Sin Feiners will be
dealt with more leniently, on the
ground that their rebellion was not
premeditated. Of the thousands of
| prisoners taken, the majority have
| convinced their captors that they
knew nothing about the proposed
outbreak, but believed that their
mobilization at Easter was merely
for the purpose of a peaceful demon
| stration.
The announcement of the execu-
tons caused a sensation in the House
of Commons. Premier Asquith at
the same time also stated that Sir
Roger Easement would be put on
trial at the earliest possible moment.

LONDON, July 7-Capture by the
British of German trench on front
Of 1000 yards east of La Boiselle in
the Somme region was announced DILL
cially Friday.
The British resumed the offensive
on certain sectors east of Albert at
dawn Friday. At the same time the
Germans launched heavy attacks on
the British trenches near Ancre. Vio-
lent fighting is now in progress.
British Make Progress.
In the vicinity of Ovillers and Con-
talmaison, as we'll as near La Boiselle'
the British made progress. In the re-
gion Of Thiepval the Germans regained
q section Of lost ground.
The second phase of the great bat
tie on the western front has now be-
gun. The artillery has been brought
up to new positions and is again bat
tering the German defenses. The bonn
bardment extends as far northward as
la Bassee and Armentieres and, ac-
cording to the latest unofficial advices,
is particularly intense. British long
range guns are shelling the German
positions and the roads in their rear
and until the Infantry again leaves the
trench 1t will be uncertain where the
next attacks are to be launched.
Germans Withdraw.
In addition to intlicting losses on
the Germans in men, guns and terr-
tory, the Anglo-French offensive is re-
ported to have compelled them to
withdraw some Of their forces from
The Verdun front. Consequently 1t is
expected that the army which has for
nve months withstood the German at
lacks in that region will have some
relief.
On the eastern front the Russians,
who now apparently have an even bet
ter supply of guns and ammunition
than their adversaries, seem to pass
from one phase to the next without in
Permission. General Letchitzky's army
which conquered Bukowina and cut
the railway between Delatyn and
Korosmezo Is advancing in an effort
completely to overcome the Austrian
forces on that front General Kale-
dimes is continuing to deliver heavy
strokes against the Austrians and
Germans who are endeavoring TO keep
him from Kovel.
New Russian Offensive.
The Russians to the north have in
augurated an offensive from Riga to
Baranovichi. Along the north end Of
the line from Riga to Dvinsk great
bombardment has begun, while from
point east of wilma to Baranovichi ar
tillery preparation was followed by in
fantry attacks in which the Russians
report they made many prisoners, re-
pulsing German counter attacks.
Near Smorgon the Russians and Ger
mans also are engaged in a severe
struggle Roumania, 1t is said here,
Is awaiting some move by the Entente
forces at Saloniki. The near east is
Interested in the battles throughout
the Caucasus and Mesopotamia.
The Russian army which was ad-
vanclng toward Bagdad has fallen
back some eighty miles under pressure
from great Turkish forces which were
brought against it, but elsewhere from
the Black sea to the Persian frontier
the Russians are more than holding
their own. No news has been received
recently from the British army in
Mesopotamia, but. it is believed mac
tivity has been enforced by the great
heat.

Prohibition Officer J. w. Bee and

they have not been given prelim-

German battery was found complete

The luxury of the arrangements
