REDMOND BLANIES FIRE LOSS In 1915
FOES FOR REVOLT LOWEST SINCE IS
Calls Dublin Uprising a
Futile Attempt by Home
Rule Opponents.

\ message begging the people IN
America not 10 be misled BY the uprls-
ing in Dublin was received yesterday
from John Redmond by J. {. Walsh.
the editor of ireland" In II the Irish
Nationalist leader charscterizes the in
surrection as a futile and miserable at
tempt 10 destroy Ireland. and charges
the "irreconcilable enemies of Homo
Rule. both in Ireland and America
With the responsibility
The message reads:
THE attempt to torpedo Home Rule
and the Irish party has failed. Dam
age has been done. life has been lost,
but the ship has not been sunk. The
whole thing has been organized by
those in ireland and America who have
always been the open and irreconcils-
bic enemies Of Home Rule and OF the
Irish party.
Though the hand Of Germany va,
10 the whole thing il was not so much
sympathy for Germany as hatred o.
Homo Rule and OF US which uas a. the
bottom Of the movement. II was even
more an attempt TO hit US than TO mt
England.
"The whole disgraceful plot is
viewed with oxecration By the IRISH
people. 1t was almost entirely Dub
lin movement Partly the creation OF
the Sim Fem cranks and German
agents there. partly of the remnants
OF that mass Of discomfort and anarchy
which was left By the disastrous Lar
kinitc strike. In few small towns
there were attempts at disturbance,
which we're easily suppressed, but Ire
land as a whole has remained perfectly
tranquil.
THE movement in Dublin i. nearing
its end. in spite Of the amount OF blood
shed which il has caused. The affair
was little more than the seizure by
surprise OF a few buildings. streets and
houses. Il was Sydney Street or Fort
Chabrul on a larger scale, and, as IN
both cases, IL took greater time and
greater energy to put i down tnan
larger and more serious movement IN
the open field
81 am happy to be able to state that
even in its desire TO play into the
hands Of the enemies OF Home Rule IN
England the movement has been just
as great n failure as in Ireland. for the
public and the press in England have
remained quite calm. They have ap-
praised the value and understood the
purpose Of the rebels, and no attempt
has been made in any quarter 70 make
capital out Of It 10 damage the cause
Of Home Rule.
81 am convinced that many old oppo-
ncnts of Home Rule will be profoundly
impressed by these events and VIII
come TO the same conclusions as IRISH
Nationalists reached long ago-thst the
one security for good order. as well as
good government, in Ireland IS ma.
tive executive and Parliament backed
b. Irish opinion. and that II such an
executive had been in existence for the
last six months there would have been
no Dublin riot.
AS 20 the opinion OF the lrish o'ce.
have received communications from
ali parts OF the world declaring vehe.
ment condemnation by lrishmen OF
Ibis insane and wicked attempt TO de-
stroy all Ireland's hopes just at the
moment when. after centuries OF vain
struggle, they were about 10 be fully
realized. beg our people IN America
not 20 be unduly disturbed By ibis
futile and miserable attempt TO de-
,troy ireland. II has falled-dehnitely,
finally.
