DENOUNCE EXECUTIONS
Irish Member Calls Govern
ment's Policy Insane and
Sees Racial Hatred Aroused
After 800 Years.

LONDON, May 13.-With the
reign of terror in Dublin settled,
interest this week centered in the
debate in parliament on the cruel
methods adopted toward the lead
ers OF the rebellion. The situation
became so critical that Premier
Asauith left London for Dublin
Friday night.
Fifteen leaders of the Sim Fem
rebellion were executed after court
martial trials. A wave of horror
swept over the United States when
news OF this drastic action became
known. The general sentiment is
that England made mistake in
executing the men, for their deaths
will be looked upon as blood split
for noble cause.
John Dillon, speaking in behalf
Of the Irish cause, made a notable
address in parliament Thursday,
in which he severely arraigned the
government. He called the gov
erament's policy insane. you are
letting loose a river of blood be-
tween two races" he said, (Which
after 800 years of hatred we had
nearly succeeded in bringing to-
gether. You are washing out our
whole life work in a sea of blood"
Mr.. Dillon said that a twelve
year-old boy had been intimidated
with death if he would not give
evidence. He was put in front of
a firing squad, but remained stead
fast. When the military authori-
ties saw he could not be intim-
idated, he was released.
Measures of this kind, Mr.. Dill
Ion asserted, would never heal the
breach between England and ire
land. ...

WAR REVIEW
VERDUN FRONT

Military critics made another
bad guess last week when they
asserted that action on the Verdun
front had ceased, and that hereaft'
er that sector would see little fight
ing. During the past week the
Germans renewed their lombard
ment Of the Notifications with
their giant guns and made a num-
Der of infantry attacks. The French
were forced to fall back, but the
Germans did not make enough
Roadway. to entitle them to claim
decisive victory.
CAUCASUS.
In the Mount Kope sector of the
Caucasus front, the Turks drove
back the Russians over a ten mile
front, capturing 800 men and four
machine guns. On the Mesopota-
milan frontier, the Russians report
steady gains. The Turks are re-
ported in flight.
ITALIAN FRONT.
No action that might change the
situation took place between the
Italians and Austrians in the last
week. Isolated engagements be
tween patrols and small parties
are reported.
g.. EAST AFRICA.
The Kaiser's forces in German
East Africa have received rein
forcements and are again advanc-
ing toward the British lines in the
district.
