UPRISING DOOMED
SAYS ABERDEEN
Ex-Vioeroy Declares II
Lacks Support of Best
Irish Elements.

Lord Aberdeen, who has been active
in Irish affairs since 1886 and who for
nine years was Ireland's Vieeroy, gave
out the following interview on tho up
rising in Ireland last nigh, in the royal
suite at the Ritz-Carlton.
81 predict with complete confidence
that this outbreak will prove 70 be OF
the character Of a flibustering raid
without lasting influence because il has
not behind it the support Of the main
body Of the present day sentiment OF
the Irish in Ireland, which is fully
voiced and represented by Mr.. Red
mond and the entire Parliamentary
party OF which he is the head. This,
Of course, renders the reputed loss OF
lie the more deplorable and entails
all the more heavy a responsibility OF
those who have organized the move
ment.
Sees No Revulsion OF Feeling.
81 am convinced that the event will
not produce revulsion Of feeling on
the part Of the British public toward
Ireland. As 70 the granting OF the
Home Rule. this is recognized as some
thing finally settled. nor will any such
unhappy incident as the one now re-
ported interfere with the profound
and lasting Impression which has been
created in Britain by the splendid gal
lantry OF the Irish regiments who have
fought and suffered side BY side with
the British in the present war. To
illustrate what ! mean ! cannot do bet
ter than quote the words of Mr.. Walter
Long. who for a generation had been
recognized as foremost opponent OF
Home Rule. but who a few weeks ago
uttered the following words IN the
British Parliament:
"Ireland has created new claim
for herself upon the affection. the
gratitude. the respect. OF the people
Of the empire By the great and power
ful par. that she has played in the
great struggle.
Says British Will Be Careful
Those words we're spoken or the
occasion Of the return from the
front Of Captain ". Redmond,
brother OF John Redmsnd. whose
appearance ard speech in the House
OF Commons were warmly greeted.
I do not believe that the British
government. will adopt any hssty or i'll
considered steps in connection with the
events OF the lsst few days IN Ireland.
7 base these observations entirely on
an experience Of Ireland gained during
residence that continued during many
years in that country and in circum-
stances which give me exceptional op-
por,unities OF becoming personally ac-
qusinted with the various phases o.
Irish affairs and Irish national lie in
comprehensive sense"
In making the latter remark Lord
Aberdeen was alluding 20 the fact
that for nine consecutive years he was
Viceroy Of Ireland. He only retired a.
the beginning Of last year. Since his
retirement Lord Aberdeen and his wife
have ksp, in close touch with Irish
affairs.

Sim Fein Plotters Lead Riot.
SO far as known the trouble
started at noon on Monday in the
centre of Dublin. A mob, composed
mainly Of members Of the Sim Fein
society, seized the Stephens Green,
a large park near the Royal Univer-
sity, the Postoffice on Sackville
Street. and several houses immedi-
ately adjoining.
Troops, hastily summoned and
loyal volunteers sought TO expel the
rebels, who meanwhile had cut all
the communication lines. In the
fighting that ensued two policemen
and two citizens were killed, to-
gether with several soldiers.
IL is the connection between the
revolt and the attempted landing Of
Sir Roger Easement with German
arms on the Irish coast yesterday
that makes the situation ominous TO-
night. 1t is believed now that there
is vast conspiracy afoot through
all Ireland, and that the arrival of
Sir Roger had been set as the signal
for general uprising.
Revolt Believed Isolated.
The official statement tonight,
however, asserts that the disturb
ances were localized in Dublin. Re-
ports received from Cork, Limerick,
Ennis, Tralee, and both ridings Of
Tipperary, where the Sim Feiners
have been especially strong, show
that if any revolts were planned
they failed TO materialize.
The official communication issued thi,
evening concerning the situation in
Dublin says:
"At noon yesterday serious disturb
ances broke out in Dublin. A large
party Of men identified with the Sim
Fein party, mostly armed, occupied
Stephens Green and took possession
forcibly % the postoffice. where they
Gu. the telegraphic and telephone
wires. Houses also were occupied in
Stephens Green, Ssckville Street, Abbey
Street and along the quays.

.sers and two policemen have been

volunteers wounded No exact infor-
nation kas been received Of the casual
ties on the side OF the Sim Feiners.
Reports received from Cork, Linn
eric.. Ennis, Tralee and both ridings
Of Tipperary show that no disturbances
Of any kind have occurred IN these To-
calities."
Authorities Act Promptly.
The prompt seizure Of Easement and
the sinking of the German auxiliary,
with her cargo OF arms. are believed
70 have disorganized the plans OF the
leaders. The authorizes. thus given

the situation.

RO0Sepelt's CHARGES
Against Wilson

When at the outbreak of the war
the German armies stood at the
gutes OF Belgium. a question of mo-
mentous Importance to this and COM
ing generations was raised II was
a great question that concerned all
neutral nations, and America es-
pecially as the leading neutral pow
er. It rested with US as a nation to
decide whether or not we favored
the abandonment of duty. President
Wilson was silent when Bel
GUM suffered terrible wrong.
In the face of this aggression he
speedily put America in n position
of refusing to do her duty to her
own citizens. Step by step tnterna-
tional law has been broken down.
BY the attacks OF German subma-
rines upon merchantmen the lives
OF hundreds Of Americans we're sac
pificed In a course which eliminated

In a similar fashion the CONNER

were invaded by England and the
whole structure of international law
for the protection OF commerce and
private property was broken down.

or group of nations build n Chinese

THE LESSON OF TINPLATE

In the year ended June 80 last,
this country exported over 500, 000,-
900 pounds of tinplate. OF this,
more than 2OO,O0O,OOO pounds went
to Australasia and the Far East
the very region from which the tin
comes to us.
Tinplate's lesson is one we'll
worthy of consideration at a time,
like the present, when this country
is considering the tariff policy that
will best promote foreign trade dur
ing and after the war. The i'm
position of a protective duty on tin
plate by the Mckinley bill was de-
rided by the Democrats, who pro-
nounced it one of the excuses of
the protection idea. At that time
this country practically imported all
its tinplate, and there was a general,
though utterly unwarranted, notion
that this country couldn't make it
on a competitive basis. In the year
1891, when the Mckinley duty was
imposed, the country produced A.
100000 pounds of tinplate. It is
now producing 1000, 100000 pounds
a year, and exporting 25 per cent
of it!
Nobody, now, would question that
, the tinplate duty has been justified
by results. 1t has made tinplate
prices in this country lower, has de-
veloped a great industry, and built
up an important foreign trade.
Applying this same principle to
dyestuffs, curiously accurate
parallel is discovered. Tinplate was
almost a British monopoly at the
time Mckinley undertook to impor,
the industry instead Of its product
Dyestuffs have become = in like
fashion almost German monopoly
There is pressing need to develop 9
dyestuffs industry in this country; 6
need far more insistent than that
which induced the adoption of tn,

construction which President viii
son has put upon neutrality.
Now the war has been carried to
our very shores. BY taking
the right step at the right time
Americas influence and leadership
might have been made a stabilizing
force.
President Wilson's ignoble shirk-
ing OF responsibility has been clothed
in an utterly misleading phrase, the
phrase Of a coward-'He kept us out
of war In actual reality. war has
been creeping nearer and nearer I'M
til II stares at us from Just beyond
our three-mile limit and we face II
without policy, plan. purpose or
preparation.
In one of his notes TO England
President Wilson announces that
America broadly assumed the un-
hesitating championship of neutral
rights. England pays no more at
tention to this note than Germany
did to the similar notes that she
received-no more than Germany
does now. OF the six ships on the
way to and from American ports
Just sunk outside OF our three-mile
limit by German submarines. two
were neutral-one Norwegian and
one Dutch.
How has President Wilson's I'M
hesitatlng championship of their
rights shown itself. Putting their
noncompliance in open rowboats in
the October seas is In no way to
guarantee their safety.

More Thoughts on the Care an,
Rearing Of Infants.

One thing this country needs In a
system OF public lachrymatories for
children two years OF age and under.
There should be one every few blocks
each capable OF accommodating from
200 to 1000 infants. When q child
gives evidence that he has set him
self for long crying spell he should
be removed to the nearest public
lachrymatory at once and kept there
until his heart was Gods little gar
den again.
No child can cry for an hour with
out using up a considerable amount
OF nervous and physical energy. The
amount used depends. OF course. on
the particular child: IL he kicks as
he cries and hails his arms about he
wastes more energy: II he brings only
the face. throat. and thorax into ac-
ton he wastes less. But the point Is
that under our present careless, hap
hazard individualistic system Cor lack
OF system) II Is all wasted. In our
public lachrymatories the CRYING child
will be laid upon a framework re-
the poignancy of his grief turned into
the pognancy Of his grief turned into
electric power.
This power ay be used for light
heat. running street cars. etc. The
lachrymatories will be operated at q
pront. Part OF the profit will 20 to
the municipality. The remainder OF
the profit will be distributed among
the parents OF the children. In pro-
portion to the amount OF CRYING done
by each child. Each child will. Of
course, have recording meter at
| tached to him. No child shall oe re-
fused entrance TO the lachrymatory.
but against the parents OF any child
who does not generate enough power
to paw his Just share OF the upkeeu
OF the institution a charge shall be
assessed.
II Is time that what Is now only
too often a source OF general annoy
ance was turned into an asset to the

FRIENDSHIP HOUSE PROGRAM

Friendship House, which has been
doing notable work as a settlement
in the southeast section, has set
about raising it's budget for the
coming year in a businesslike way.
Heretofore about $4,000 of the
$4,000 annual budget has been
raised by pledges of members, and
the rest has been sought by "bene.
fits" and numerous appeals" The
result. it is succinctly stated, "has
invariably been much worry and lit
tie money"
This year a new plan is being
tried. It's success will depend en-
tirely upon the cooperation of the
Washington public, which should
have the interest Of this institution
much at heart. In one week, from
October 16 to 81, inclusive, the
friends of Friendship House will
try to raise the entire budget of
$4,000 for the coming year, plus
$1,000 indebtedness for the past
season.
No one who watches the social
service agencies in Washington can
be ignorant of the real service
Friendship House performs. 1t main
tains day nursery, a milk station,
and baby dispensary. 1t conducts
social and educational clubs and
classes and mothers clubs. Sum-
mer outings are planned for young
and old. Quarters are provided fol-
a Public Library station, and the
first free Montessori school was es-
tablished there. It is a neighbor-
hood employment agency. 1t is a
clearing house for helpful service
and for better citizenship.
Friendship House deserves to he
supported, and it should be support.
ed without all the lost motion and
inefficiency of the old methois Of
raising money by entertainments
and other indirect devices.

the best scientific and commercial
authorities believed they needed, not

It would seem that the lesson Of
the tinplate industry might ,have

was an opportunity to prove that
even they were willing to modify
their policy sufficiently to import q
great industry that this country
sorely needed. Butthey would not
do It. They gave half a loaf; it will
prove better than no bread, only in
case the hunger for dyestuffs is 80
