With. Other Editors


The leaders of this rebellion had small
sympathy ia Ireland, and very little in other
parts OF the world except Germany. 1t
j. well known that mi-chievous plotters in
the United States. both Irish and German,
had helped to bring it on, and there had
been schemes in Berlin to promote it. A
well known though eccentric. parsonage of
Irish origin, Sir Rodger Easement, had
been in Germany for many months, and
had endeavored TO make a landing on the
Irish coast. with a small cruiser cargo OF
arps conveyed by O German submarine.
This landing was TO be simultaneous with
the uprising IN Dublin. Sir Roger. how
ever. was promptly arrested. and his ex-
pedltionary plans were fooled. He was
sent 10 the Tower of London and held for
trial on charge of treason. Sixteen OF the
rebel leaders at Dublin were courtmartial-
ed and shot. Included with these were the
slgners of the proclamation declaring the
Irish republic. II may be interesting to
observe that the summary death OF these
poets and professors was regarded bv
many people IN England a. a blunder.
While the American press had no svm-
pathy at all with the rebellion. it was vir-
tually unanimous in deploring the exc
cntIon OF the leaders. There were no con
dltions Of nsurrcction n Ireland that rem
dered the restoration of order a difficult
matter. There were literally millions of
men under arms IN England, and except for
a handful Of people there was no DISPOSE
ton To rebel in Ireland. Many thousands
Of lrishmen were helping To fight Britain's
battles IN France. Clcmency would have
been the wise policy, and the lack of It is
most regrettable. Mr.. Augustine Birrell,
who for 4 number Of years had been in the
cabinet a. secretary for Ireland, promptly
resigned. He was no more To be blamed
than any one Of twenty other men. and
much less than at least half 4 dozen other.
