Of the probability Of another revolution
there should the British government
try to force conscription on the Irish
people.
"The English government realizes
the seriousness of the situation. and
has placed 10000 men in Ireland TO
guard against the recurrence OF any
disturbance. In all my conversations
with the thinking class Of Irish people
I found that the revolutionary idea
was spreading fast.
THE Catholic Church has in MANY
instances given its appreciation OF the
revolutiouists' cause. and where before
the last outbreak the majority OF the
people were rot in sympathy with the
Sim Feiners, the feelings Of the people
have undergone remarkable change.

danger of falling walls and undermined

Dr. Byrne continued:
THE Irish have been awakened for
the first time in their history TO the
value of publicity and the necessity of
arousing Britain to action. Dilatory

When Buchanan quit Superintendent
Donovan gave up the fight. Even
should he find some one else to serve
as motorman and could remove the bar
ricade under fire, there was no pros
pect of making a fast trip over the re-

on hand more than fifty jitneys 20

were driven by strikers, who have been

the company suspended service. Those

Donovan was on the point of an

shifted to a large touring car which
had been held up by the mob. In it
one of the ringleaders had professed to
recognize Frederick W. Whitridge,
president of the Third Avenue Rail
way Company. of which the Yonkers
line is subsidiary.
The suspected motorist would have
been roughly handled had not strikers
who had seen Whitridge come to his
rescue.

The mob then agreed to a truce, Don

back TO the New York side of the line
and intern it in the Kingsbridge barns.
The news was telephoned to Mr. Suth-
