More Moderate

AS between the two extreme rem
edles suggested for these unbearable
conditions by Sim Fem on the one
hand and non-compromising Union
lists on the other: complete independ-
ence and the rule of blood and iron
and machine guns respectively, pro-
posals of more moderate and ap-
parently feasible nature are steadily
forthcoming. Thus one of the most
notable developments of the Irish
situation was the publication of a
new Home Rule scheme by THE
London Times" supported by the
formidable array of the Northcliffe
press. The plan called for the crea-
ton of two state legislatures, one
for the whole of Ulster and the other
for the rest Of Ireland, with a re-
sponslble executive in both states
and a one-chamber All-Ireland Par
lament for what might be called
federal affairs sitting alternately at
Dublin and Belfast.
The plan was, on the whole, re-
ceived favorably in Ireland save by
the extremists of both sides Espe-

bent upon Cancellation and modera

is charged that the German-Na-
tional party (the former Conser-
vatives), as well as the Clericals,
is not only conducting an organ
lied campaign to denounce and
SANDER German citizens of Jewish
faith, but that physical violence and
even murder is advocated by some
firebrands masquerading as German
PATRIOTS. The "Berliner Tageblatt'
reprints an article from the "Frei-
heit." the organ of the Independent
Socialists, giving a list of the vari-
Gus iunker and reactionary organi-
zations engaged in spreading anti
Semitism. These organizations are
working side by side with a SO
called Board for Popular Enlight-
eminent" as central executive. Anti
Jewish mass meetings are held and
pamphlets and leaflets disseminate
ing charges against the German
Jews are distributed.
Some months ago, the "F'reiheit"
asserts, meeting was held at the
well known Berlin resort, Rhein-
gold, where one of the speakers
made the statement that the War
Department has authorized the
Board for Popular Enlightenment"
to open recruiting bureau The
speaker added that the Minister of
War was ignorant of the fact that
this recruiting bureau will enlist
reliable anti-Semites only. Thus,
the "Freiheit" charges, a regular
"pogrom guard is being organized.
The independent newspaper, fur
thermore, calls attention to the
abundant financial means at the dis
posal Of the anti-Semitic propagan-
da. It is clear, the paper says, that

Many other attacks upon the per-

a large body of civilians waglaid con-

Near Nenagh, in Tipperary, motor
car was shot at by the police and the

Der of soldiers discharged revolver
shots one evening and wounded two or
three lads; it is stated that there had
been friction in the district and the
soldiers wished to get some of their
own back. Apologies of this kind be-
tray a good deal of wrongheadedness
on the part of the authorities.
ON the other hand, any apology is
better than none, and the attitude Of
the official leaders of Sim Fem in ig
noring the violence practised by the
secret societies merits much structure.

An important section Of the Irish
public, hoWever-and one which on
the whole may be classed, under the
circumstances. as moderate-rallies
around the Dominion scheme put
forward by Sir Horace Plunkett and
his Dominion League. What this
group stands for is set forth in a let
ter from Sir Horace to The Times
on the occasion of the London news
papers Home Rule plan:
"a year ago an Irish Parliament
might have been set up with all the
powers granted by the act, and with
any reasonable safeguards demanded
by Ulster. The further powers demand
ed by the majority in Ireland could
have been postponed. without preju-
dice, for consideration after the war.
when the mere fact Of North and South
having come together in the war might
have made a settlement by consent I'M
measurably easier.
Gas things are now, it is useless to
offer a restricted form of self-govern-
ment. Ireland must be given the status
of a self-governing dominion. Upon
the strategical questions raised by the
propinquity of the two islands the
peace conference in being. and the

ties of imperial defence so long as
there is any empire.

be tantamount in practice to the pres

ment. is a choice of evils: but ad-
MT it is choice of difficulties The
direction Of the greatest difficulty, ard
certainly of the greatest resistance, is

Yet another body Of Irishmen, the
so-called Centre Party, led by Cap
tain Stephen Gwynn, demands fed
eral constitution for Ireland with q
central parliament and four provin-
cial legislatures. Moderates of both
the Nationalist and Unionist can1
adhere to this suggestion, a propose
which, however, fails to satisfy

Mi Il announcement or he
London Daily Mail" as re-
IL ported by the cables, that
Irish Home Rule goes into
effect within six weeks, brings relief
to all parties concerned-relief, that
is, in the sense that any definite
happening can but improve a situa-
tion hopelessly muddled and be-
logged. The London newspaper as
serts that the law officers of the
Crown have discovered, after careful
examination, that the law which had
suspended the operation Of the Home
Rue act for the duration of the war
expires on the day the peace treaty
is signed by Turkey, the last Of the
belligerents to sign. This would
put the Home Rule act of 1914 auto
matically into operation.
What exactly viii happen if and
when the prediction Of THE Daily
Mail" comes true nobody pretends
to know-even less what is going to
happen if it does not. The fact re-
mains that a state Of war at present
prevails in Ireland-or, rather, that
the Sim Fem is Waging a desperate
guerilla campaign on the British
government without, Of course, being
recognized by the latter as a bellig-
erept. One may call il civil war or
rebellion, or simply a series of as
sassinations and other outrages--
the struggle is going on just the
anne. A special correspondent of
The London Times" sums up the
situation as follows:
"The majority of the outrages which
der and aggravated assault have been
attempts to seize arms by force from
servants of the Crown. They have
occurred mainly in districts where
the crust of civilization is thin and the
evil deeds of the Land War are a lv-
ing tradition.
"Audacious and thorough as the or
ganization of these seizures has often
been, there has so far been no evil
denco of central direction or of their
forming part of widespread policy
of violence, and it is commonly rumored
in Ireland that the official leaders of
Sim Fem are strongly opposed to
them.
"They are believed to be the hand-
work Of local secret societies which
have sprung once more into activity
in the favorable circumstances of est
lessness and discomfort which prevail.
The general body of Irish opinion re-
CARDS them with alarm and disapproval
Under these conditions reasonable men
ask naturally why the Sim Fem or
ganization does not publicly repudiate
them. An answer cannot be attempted

The Irish Scene

Here is how the Irish scene looked
to a correspondent of the London
weekly "The New Statesman" in the
first half Of September:
Sensational events follow one an
other in rapid succession in the South
Of Ireland a fortnight ago a coro-
ner's jury in Glare, inquiring into the
case Of a Sim Fem boy scout who had
been shot dead while sitting at his
ireside, returned verdict of murder
against some soldiers unknown The
military followed the proceedings at
the inquest with Indifference, and no
information is available as to whether
they have any intention OF looking into
the charges brought by the boys rela-
tives. Why, indeed, should they both
err, seeing that the people for their
part have failed to render up to justice
any of the murderers of police and
soldiers?
'"The evaporation on both sides
seems to be complete On Sunday there
was terrible ARRAY at Fermoy, in
County Cork; a sudden attack by a
gang of armed men in motor cars upon
q party of soldiers entering a church
resulted in the death of one soldier
and the wounding of another The
coroner's court denounced the outrage,
but refused to employ the word muir
der; the coroner, it is reported, de
,plored the incident, described it as an
act of warfare, well thought out, which
it would take military strategy of the
highest order to equal and in the

An eighteenth century execution on
Kenslngton common was stopped for

August 10, 1853. two days before the
date of the execution, a heavy fog came
over London, accompanied by thunder
and lightning and torrents of rain.
These conditions lasted for nearly
As hours, and many people believed
that the last day had arrived. When
the time fixed for the execution ar.
rived the assembled crowd cried shame
on the sheriff for hanging a man when
the world was coming to an end.
AS he persisted in his preparations.
they burst through the barriers and
stopped the proceedings, shouting that
the culprit might as well wait few

would come for all.
The sheriff had to obtain the assist

execution could be carried out.--Lon-
