CERTAIN features Of the Irish rebel
~ lion have been overlooked by many
friends of the Allies cause in the United
States.
In this particular matter-whatever
the blunders of England may have been
in the past--it is possible that here mod
crate estimate of her own case in the
Irish rebellion may eventually rebound
to her credit as did her first moderate es-
innate of the Jutland battle.
Neither ireland nor Irish-Amerlcans
desire to make martyrs Of men who, by
the sudden publication of certain records
quite unconnected with politics-may
make every Irishman ashamed of the day
on which he helped to canonize them.
The cry God help ireland" will take
on a new significance If Irishmen begin
to think that any political injustice done
to them in the past allows them, for in
stance, to murder their own countrymen
Unfortunately. And these rebels, be-
yond the shadow of a doubt, did muir
der ruthlessly. deliberately and indis-
crlminately, men, women and children,
their own kindred, without even the
slightest attempt to discover whether
their victims were in political agreement
with them or not.
This new method. devised by Irlshmen
of the very lowest and vicious personal
character, was criminal tyranny of a
kind that has been unknown anywhere
in civilized Europe, even in Germany,
probably even in Turkey, for more than
two hundred years.
Even the Germans do not exercise their
"frightfuIness" Unfortunately against
their own people. They do not shoot Herr
Dernberg in cold blood, because they see
him posting a letter m Berlin. Nor do
they massacre their own wounded sol
diers for riding on the top OF bus Nor
do they shoot their own women and chill
dren for the mere fact that they hap
pened to be alive. Nor do they fire on
ambulances, carrying their own wounded;
and every one OF these things the Irish
rebels were convicted OF doing over and
over again.
I ask these persons In America who
accuse England of 'ruthlessness" what
steps she should have taken, under the
existing machinery OF law, 10 deal with
certain cold-blooded murders that had no
relation OF any kind either TO politics or
to nationality. God help Ireland" in
