liberty of Ireland and of the world. But, anyhow, it was the opinion
 of Ireland, and surely I need not ar
 que the principle. especially with any
 body who has professed himself a Home Ruler, that the policy of Ire
 land must be decided by Ireland her self. That is the principle which has been adopted by the Irish race every where.
 Millions of our people in the United States and elsewhere, whose generous devotion helped us so large ly to win our victories for the mother land of our race, have always accept ed it. However bounteous their help, never have they denied Ireland's right to choose her policy for herself. That doctrine has been contested only by the very same men who today have tried to make Ireland a cats paw of Germany.
 'In all our long and successful struggle to obtain home rule we have been thwarted and opposed by that same section. We have won home
 rule not through them, but in spite of them. This wicked move of theirs was their last blow at home rule. It was not half as much treason to the
 cause of the Allies as treason to the
 cause of home rule.
 And the final aggregation is this:
 The misguided, insane young men | who have taken part in this move ment in Ireland have risked, and some of them lost their lives. But
 what am I to say of those men who
 have sent them into this insane and
 anti-patriotic movement while they
 have remained in the safe remoteness l of American cities?
 Condemns Irish ro-Germans. q must add that this movement has been set in motion by this same class of men at the very moment when America is demanding repara- ton for the blood of innocent Amer ican men, women and children shed by Germany, and thus they are guilty of double treason-treason to the generous land that received them, as we'll as to the land which gave them birth.
 'Is it not an additional horror that on the very day when We heard that the men of Dublin Fusiliers had been
 killed by Irishmen in the streets of Dublin we received news of how men of the 18th Division-our own Irish brigade, and of the same Dublin
 Fusilliers-had dashed forward and by their unconquerable bravery re- taken trenches the Germans had won at HuIluch? Was there ever such a picture of tragedy which small sec ton of an Irish faction has so often inflicted on the fairest homes and the bravest deeds of Ireland?
 AS to the final result: l do not believe this wicked and insane move ment will achieve it's ends. The Ger man plot has failed. A majority of the people of Ireland retain their calmness, fortitude and unity. They abhor this attack on their interests, their rights and their principles. Home Rule has not been destroyed. It remains indestructible."

GREEK REVOLUTION
 IS BEING PLOTTED
Leaders of 1909 Uprising Planning Another As Former Premier
 Grows in Popularity.

Athens. Sunday, April 23, via Rome and Paris, April 29, 1925 a. m.- (Delayed) impartial observer who has just returned from a tour of al the main and of Greece re- ports an amazing spread of senti- ment in favor of Eliptherios Venize- los, the former premier, even in con- servative Pelopinnesus. The recent efforts of the government to SUD- press the demonstrations and meet ings of the Venizelos adherents has awakened deep resentment among the people, and there is a growing deter imitation to oust the present govern ment even if it be necessary to resort to arms.
 The Associated Press learns from incontestable authority that several leaders of the revolution of 1909 are actively engaged in planning a sin- liar attempt. although Venizelos de- precates this and advises instead the practice of patience and use of legal methods.
 Frequent talks with King Constan- tine have convinced the Associated Press correspondent that the monarch honestly is persuaded that a policy of inaction is approved by a major ity of the Greek people. The kind persists in regarding the demonstra- tions of the growing popularity of Venizelos as mere political maneu- NerS.
 Neutral diplomatic observers who are in a position to judge declare that the present situation cannot last sixty days longer, and that unless an allied offensive against Bulgaria relieves the tension by sweeping the Greeks into war with their ancient enemies a political cataclysm in Greece is inevitable.
 The time for a compromise be- tween the liberals and the adherents of the ministry has passed. A more rigid triple censorship of all press telegrams keeps the world generally ignorant of actual condi- tions in Greece.
