that there was little chance that the
Germans would attempt an air raid.

sounded of the approach of hostile
aircraft. The raid ended shortly
after midnight.

Redmond's Life Work Not Failure;
Leaves Home Rule on Statute Book

to govern Ireland during the war with
Ulster in sullcn or actual revolt.
One respects his patience-the vir-
tue which Pitt chiefly extolled and AS
quth reverenccs--but even patience
when, as in Rcdmond's case. it becomes
monumental. may provoke greater evils
than it sootnes. And, in the present
instance, the upshot was Sim Fein.
When Redmond declared for the war
his words should have healed the
breach forever which sundered Ireland
from Conservatives in Britain. and es-
pecially Ulster.
War Office unrepentant
Our War Office, filed with Orange
men, was utterly unrepcntant. Lord
Kitchener bluntly rejected all friendly
counsel from Nationalists. And the
enthusiasm of Irish Catholics for Bel
gium was stupidity killed by Whitehall
while under the censorship, then very
strict, the British press dared say moth
ing.
| do not 90 so far as to maintain that
this tactlesaness accounts for Sim Fcin
but it aggravated the movement and
was not put straight until the harm was
done. Redmond protested vainly and
+ vas in public treated with respect, cs-
recially By the King, but the Ulster
inclined generals carefully avoided
mentioning the gallantry of National
ist regiments and there were innumera-
bic other departmental rinpricks.
Redmond exposed these matters in
debate and they were rcmedcd, but
they do explain why mis- task was Otter
so difficult. When the Sim Fcin re-
bclion, as it were. exploded. his real
