SINCE 1906

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank E. Holister re-
ceived telegram last night announc-
ing the death Of their son, Richard Il.

Bennington, born July %, 1888 He
enlisted June 25. 1906 in the Fifth
United States cavalry His regiment
saw three years service in the Phil
ippines and during the past year has
been on the Mexican border.
One of the strange condolences Of

their homes were both on Grove

VICTORY FOR sINN FEINERs
Candidate Defeats Nationalist by Near
ly 5000.

London July 1.-THE victory Of a
Sim Fen leader, Professor Edward de
Valera, Of Dublin University, in East
Glare, by nearly 5000 majority over
the Nationalist candidate, Patrick
Lynch, has caused CONSERVATION in
Nationalist ranks and a sensation in
other political circles. East Clare
vacated by the death OF Major William
Redmond, was, until the Sim Fein de-
veloped, regarded as an absolutely
safe seat for the Nationalist Party.
De Valera is of Spanish extraction,
and was born in New York He identi-
fled himself with Irish ideals from
early life, and was one of the leaders
OF the Easter rebellion. His oratorical
gifts have added to the popularity Civ
en- him by his confinement in an Eng
lish Jail Adopting the program of
Easter week, 1916, as his platform, he
invited the electors to vote for an
Irish republic OF sovereign and abso-
lutte independence, and incidentally. Of
course, for revolution. with the as
sumption that if Ulster would not ac-
quiesce, then Ulster must go under.
His very candidature probably was
invalid at common law. as he told the
electors frankly that he did not seek,
and, ii elected. did not intend to go
TO the House Of Commons
It is an essential preliminary to the
setting up of a republic to destroy the
Nationalist Party. which accordingly
is now fighting for its life. This new
policy of using the machinery of con
stitutiOnal election TO promote reyolu-
tion is called the Reading policy"
because the Sim Feiners devised il in
Reading Gaol why should we go to
Westminster they say when we
must fight there for what we want in
a helpless minority? While we re-
main in Ireland we can outplay and
outgeneral the British Parliament for
titled by the strength of the nation"
They do not hesitate to preach sup
port of Germany on the ground that il
Germany won she would restore the
temporal power of the Pope, and Mr.
Ginnell, NJ. T., has been going up and
down his constituency coneratulatine
his comtrymen that their long-wished
for opportunity has come, as Germany
has England by the throat and holds
| her in an iron grasp.

London, July 1.-THE Germans
struck a heavy blow last evening
against the British lines north of
Nieuport on the Belgian coast The
enemy broke through the British posi-
tions on a front Of nearly a mile, driy-
ing the defenders back on the User
River The extreme depth OF the adj
vance was coo yards.
During the last twenty-four hours
the heavy artillery fire directed
against the British line from Nieuport
TO the sea indicated that the Germans
were preparing an attack of more than
ordinary importance. The firing was
so intense that it wasplainly heard in
London from o'clock yesterday morn
ing until nearly midnight, and again
today beginning at dawn. In some
London suburbs tremors like a slight
earthquake could be felt
The effect of this great concentra.
tion of fire was to level all the British
defenses in the Dunes sector and to
destroy their bridges across the User,
thus cutting off the defenders. Berlin
reports that 1850 men were captured
in this battle
Further south, in the region of LON
baertzyde, the German success was
short lived The British commander
watching his opportunity, delivered a
strong cOunterattack and drove the
Germans out of the positions they had
momentarily occupied.
