DILLON PREDICTS
new IRISH REVOLT
Charges Government Has Main
tanned Present Serious
Condition.

| LONDON, Feb. 27.-John Dillon, Ma
tionalist. in moving an adjournment
of the House OF Commons to call at
tention to the recent arrest OF Irish
men, admitted that the situation IN
ireland was extremely serious and
and the government had taken good
care that II should remain so.
These arrests" Mr.. Dillon said
showed a sign OF a change of policy
in Ireland. The men were being ban
ished without any reason being as
signed. Unless the government were
prepared to put them on trial and for
mulate charges against them, II had
no right to ask for q blank check for
its policy. Ireland" Mr.. Dillon assert
ed, 'fn reality was now living under
martial law"
Charaeterizing the arrests as incon
ceivably stupid, Mr.. Dillon accused
the government OF reversing the Irish
policy of the last government, and
predicted that the policy Of provoca'
tion would continue until some bloody
explosion or horrible disaster occur
red in Ireland. It was q strange Co
Incidence, he said, that the arrests
were made just prior to the date fixed
for the Irish debate IN Parliament.
Change In Policy Denied.
There existed" said Mr.. Dillon. "a
section OF people in England which
did not desire a contented and united
ireland. but wanted to drive Ireland
back to rebellion and hatred OF Eng
land. The governments recent policy
had created Sim Feiners by the thou
sand and has maddened the country"
Replying to Mr.. Dillon, the secre-
tary for Ireland, Mr.. Duke. denied
any change in policy with regard to
ireland. The arrests, he said. were
not due to any new policy Of repres-
sion. The majority of the men order
ed to reside in England had devoted
themselves to reviving the conspiracy
which had such fatal results last Eas-
ter. HRd there been a judicious NUM-
Der of arrests the week preceding last
Easter, there would have been no re-
bellion.
Justified By Necessity.
Continuing. the secretary declared
that IL he told all he knew he would
satisfy the house that what had been
done was resolved upon with regret.
but was justified by absolute neces-
sity.
He declined to enter into details on
the ground OF public policy, explain
ing that he was not going to unfold
q tale which would enable the accom-
plices of those arrested to know all
that he knew, but he himself. the in
spector general of the constabulary
and Lieut. Gen Sir Bryan Mahon,
commander of the forces in ireland.
took the responsibility for what had
been done.
Mr.. Bonar Law said II was obvious
that II the men were brought to trial
the government would be compelled
to mention facts which in the public
interest 1t was not desirable to men,
tion in Parliament.
Was 1t not quite plain, after what
Mr.. Dillon had said. that 1t was the
duty of the British government above
all in the interests not only of the
safety of the empire but in the inter-
est of the Irish people themselves, to
prevent another rising similar to the
last one?
Mr.. Dillon's motion was eventually
talked out

WILL MARRY
HIS FIRST COUSIN

London. Prince Edward Albert,
of Wales, heir apparent TO the British
throne has answered for himself the
queation whom he will marry, ac-
cording to the National News, a Lon
don weekly. The News says the
prince has decided he will ask for the
hand of his first cousin. Princess
Maude, the youngest daughter OF the
Princess Royal and sister to Princess
Arthur of Connaught. The young
princess is fourteen months older
than the prince who is %. Her father,
the Duke of Fife, was the closest per-
sonal friend of the late King Edward.
The report of the National News
contradicts the rumor current some
time ago that the prince sought the
hand of Princess Yolanda. eldest
daughter of King Victor Emmanuel of
Italy. Recently London News papers
perhaps influenced by the downfall of
the Russian aristocracy and the stand
against Germany's separate royal
caste, have been urging that the old
system under which kings chose
mates for themselves or their heirs
among the daughters of their own no.
bility should be revived.
