IRELAND OPENLY OPPOSED
London Paper Says Situation Is Be-

London, March 1.-THE Post pub
fishes a long article concerning what
1t characterizes as the serious situa-
tion in Ireland because of activity on
the part of the Sim Fein society. 1t
says:
From motives of patriotism Eng
lish newspapers hitherto have re-
Trained from commenting on the sit
uation in ireland. but it is developing
with such rapidity and gravity that
silence is no longer possible.
Through the South and West a Wig
orous organized campaign against re-
cruiting is being carried out without
serious hindrance. Within a few
weeks several persons have been in
dicted and tried in Dublin, but in
every case acquitted by the jury amid
tumultuous applause from those in
the courtroom. All these trials took
place before ordinary juries and we
await with impatience the time when
the authorities will utilize their pow
ers to have such cases tried before
special juries or military tribunals. ="

RUSSIANS TO HELP
BESIECED BRITONS

Petrograd. March 17.-The Russians
troops In Persia are now SO far ad.
vanced toward the Mesopotamian from.
tier that they must be said to be in
virtual cooperation with the British
at Kut FL Amara, where General
Townshend's troops have been cooped
up for several months.
The campaign against Bagdad has
become twofold, with the likelihood of
the Russians being as important a fac.
tor in the Mesopotamian operations as
their allies.
Before the Russian penetration
through the mountain passes of the
Kermanshah region 1t was generally
held that the chief aim OF the Rus
sian operations on the extreme south.
ern front was effectively and, once for
ALL to crush German influence and
ambitions in Persia
Only the most visionary critics have
conceived the possibility of Russia s
successfully trayersing the Persian
mountain provinces and assuming an
important role In Mesopotamian af.
fairs.
