few minutes, then came the rain,
which fell in torrents for half hour.
Accompanying the storm was a severe
electrical disturbance. The thunder
and lightning were unusually sharp
and severe, terrifying to women and
children. Only a few people re-

witnessed this thought the building

ATHENS. Aug. 22-Russlan troops

the allied offensive. Dispatches from
Salonika today reported that allied
transports arrived with the Russians
as the first Italian contingent was dis
embarking.
For the first time since the begin
ming Of the war the troops Of six al
lied nations will be fighting side by

Russians probably will be seen in ac-

Ill., than he occupied, much longer
time than you could afford here this
evening, to give the faintest resume of
it; but this much can be said: that
this last outrage is not unique. If it
were an exception to the story of
English rule In Ireland, it might be
deplored and condemned, and yet
hope might be entertained that its
very enormity would prevent its re-
currence. But the story of English
rule in Ireland is a continual recur-
renee Of just such outrages; it is not
one perversion of government, not one
single perversion Of governmental
power to perpetrate the very outrages
that government is organized to pre-
vent; but it has been the persistent
purpose of the administration of gov
ernment to destroy instead of protect
the race and the nation over which it
assumed to exercise dominion.
Government, by the very essence of
civilization, is device to protect its
subjects, to encourage their industry
by securing their lives and the enjoy
ment Of the property produced by
their hands, and never has there been,
in the history of mankind, outside of
Ireland, government that professed-
ly and concededly was organized or

TO PROHIBIT ALL INFORMATION
EXCEPT FROM CENSORED
SOURCES.

Gen. Maxwell, the military COM
mander now IN charge of enforcing
martial law in Ireland, has issued an
order making it an offense punishable
with Imprisonment under the Defense
of the Realm Act for any person to
send letter or any sort of written
communication from any part of Ire.
land to any part of the United King
dom or places outside of England ex-
cept through the postoffice. The pur-
pose of this order is to prohibit any
information from Ireland except such
as may be censored by the postof1ce
authorities. Persons receiving any
communications from ireland which
have not been forwarded through the
postofice are likewise subject to fine
and imprisonment under the Defense
of the Realm Act. This drastic and
oppressive measure practically cuts
Ireland off from communication with
the entire world so far as receiving
any true information concerning the
oppressive measures now in force in
ireland under martial law.

j. S. Congressman Asks
For the Voice Of America
Representative Dyer of Missouri Declares 1t be Within the
Province of Congress to Express Opinion
the Merits of Irish Cause

In statement given to the press,
Congressman Dyer set forth irrefut-
ably the grounds on which America
has right to make its voice heard
through congress:
"The measure which l have intro
duced is one which am sure voices
the sentiments of America with regard
to the recent and present tragic occur
rences in Ireland. Without distinc
tion Of class, creed, party or opinion
on the European war, Americans must
sympathize with patriots who strike
for freedom according to their con
scientious view of their duty to theil
nation, and must abhor the execution
of such men by the swift, secret and
pitiless operations of the court
martial.
Distinctly Within the Privilege Of
Congress.
at is not within the province of the
congress Of the United States to ex
press an opinion on the merits of O
war existing between two other ma
tions. 1t is, however, distinctly with
in the privilege-of congress to voice O
sentiment which has swept the coun
try, as the sentiment of horror at the
execution of Irish patriots has done
1t Is within the province of congress
to express an opinion that the laws OF
civilization should be observed when
those laws are being so flagrantly dis
regarded. 1t Is proper for congress tc
hope, as surely we may hope. that the
second thought of the English govern
ment, hearkening to the voice of the
English people, will correct the harst
and cruel procedure which seems tc
have been adopted in q moment ol
panic.
international law as set forth II
the Hague conventions and In til,
United States Army Regulations, an,
as interpreted by the leading authorl
ties, recognizes the right of rebels an,
revolutionists to treatment as bellig
erents or public enemies according tt
the laws of war, provided they are
commanded by q responsible person
have distinctive and recognizable
emblem, carry arms openly and con
duct their operations In accordance
with the laws and customs of war
All these requirements were met by
the Irish rebels, who were for three
or more years organized as the Irisf
Volunteers and the Citizens Army
They were commanded by officers
they were drilled and they obeyed dis
cipline. That they were subject to au
thority is shown by the fact that wher
the bitter order to surrender was giver
by their own chiefs, oil whom thai
order reached, obeyed. They bore
arms openly, most of them were uni
formed, and they fought according tt
the. rules Of war. Tho English gov
ernment accorded them belligerent
rights while they retained their arms
as is conclusively proved by the ne
gotiations carried on under flags o.
