BITTER AFTERMATH
 TO IRISH REVOLT
Three Editors Murdered by Military; Lord Lieutenant !.
 Resigns.
(By Review Leased Wire.1

LONDON. May 10.-Ireland provid- ed a number of sensations today. The first was the announcement of the resignation of Baron Wimbourne, lord lieutenant, which undoubtedly has been in Premier Asquith's hands for some time, acceptance being delayed until normal conditions are restored in Ireland.
 The second was the appointment of a commission headed by Lord Hard inge to investigate the causes of the Irish outbreak. third was the ad- mission by the government of the truth of the report that F. Sheehy Skeffington. editor of the Irish Citi- zen, and two other journalists had been executed in the Porto Bello bar racks in Dublin without the know ledge of the military authorities and before martial law was actually ill operation.
 A fourth was the granting of the veteran Dillon's demand for a special session of the House of Commons to discuss the executions in Ireland and finally the issuance of an important manifesto to the Irish people by John Redmond, strongly denouncing the rebellious movement and appealing eloQuently to Ireland to stand fast by the constitutional means to secure self-government.

NEW ND-SEEKS AID
 FOR EUR0PE'S BLINDED
American Bankers and Busi-, ness Men Appeal Through out the United States and Local Treasurer.

The thousands of French. Belgian and British soldiers who have been blinded in the European war are in pitiable condition, according to an ap- peal of American bankers, philanthro- pists and business men, through the B. F. B. Permanent Blind Relief Whr Fund, 590 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
 The appeal was issued locally, yes terday, by w. H. Brophy, president of the Bank of Bisbee, who IS sub treasurer of the Fund in this locality and who will receive all local contri- buttons
 Unable to work at former trades, these numerous blinded war-victims cannot support themselves and their families. Their governments, over burdened with more immediate prob lens. are able. to do very little for them, the appeal states
 Six months training, on the other hand. the bankers, business men and philanthropists say, can educate al most all of these thousands of now useless blind men in practical, paying trades, in which they can support themselves and at least partially sup port their families. Work of this kind has already been begun by C. Arthur Pearson, the blind English newspaper proprietor and philanthro- pist, at St. >Dunstan's, in England, by NJ. Rene Vallery-R -Radot through Les Amis des Soldats Aveugles' in the "Maison du Convalescence' in France and by Miss Winifred Holt of the Comite Franco-American pour les Aveugles, of which the Hon. Joseph H. Choate is president. The E. F. E. Permanent Blind Relief War Fund seeks to assist, develop and enlarge these efforts.
 The first work of the Fund will be to enlarge and modernize all the pres. ent blind institutions of Europe by means of financial donations, as well as assisting the work of Mfr Pearson in England, M. Vallery-Radot and Miss Holt, in France. The Fund later intends to organize in verious Euro pean cities additional modern equip ped blind schools, blind workshops, blind employment exchanges ana agencies for commercializing blind products, so that all this particular class of war-victims may be saved from their present hopeless and help less situation, and may be rendered self-supporting for life.

WASHINGTON STILL
 HOPES ID AVERT WAR
Continued From Page One.)
 Scott Still Hopeful.


 It is not believed here that political manipulations of this sort, if it does exist will be prolonged to the point of causing a break with the United States. A feeling of optimism as to the final result of the conference is based largely upon this view and also upon the fact that General Scott has given no indication that he thought an agreement could not be reached. Sec retary Baker said the delay probably was due to the difficulty of reviewing incidental points in finding a common ground on which the conferees could agree.
 Achievements On Way.
 Some of the additional troops order ed to the border yesterday were pre- stunned to be en route tonight. The war department had received no 6i rect reports from the various regular commanders although many routine messages dealing with the movements came up today. Mobilization of t'Ie Arizona, New Mexico and Texas Ma tional Guard ti'' ops was proceeding under state authority until the forces could be formally mustered into the federal service
 Probably S.090 additional regulars for border work could be dran from coast artillery pos: should the need arise.
