Irish Convention
May Be Swayed by
Death of Redmond
Some Newspapers Believe
Factions Will Be Inhu-
enced to His Policy

LONDON, March SIT is impossible
to say what effect the death of John
Redmond, the Irish leader, will have
upon the Irish convention. Redmond's
policy was all for cancellations Some
newspapers arr going on the theory
that the Irish are emotional people
and believe that the deep sympathy
aroused by the national leaders death
at critical hour of Ireland's destiny
may influence all factions toward his
policy.
AS the meetings of the convention
are secret, the trend or events can be
judged only when the convention makes
it's report. Mr.. Redmond's health kept
him away from most of the recent sit
tings. Some of his followers thought
him 100 willing to make compromises,
and his disappearance from the scene
may stiffen the Nationalist attitude;
but that still is matter of specula-
ton on which no predictions can be
made

Make Creditable Showing
+ Staff Correspondence I


WASHINGTON, March a-Brigadier
General Evan NJ. Johnson, who at pres
cnt commands Camp Upton, L. l., has
been in Washington for few days, and
to-day he expressed great enthusiasm
over the condition of the camp and
the progress of training.
General Johnson praised the morale
of the men of his command and said
he had had no trouble in the matter of
discipline and that the number of
courts martial had been SO small that
it was hardly worth mentioning. In
speaking of the advantages which his
men had received by reason of their
opportunity to appear before their
home people in New York City, he said
that the effect had been excellent and
that he was satisfied the division would
make a showing at the front that
would be a credit to the service.
