Sim Feiners outwitted English JaiI,
ors With Help Of Two Young
Women.
(By Associated Press.)

Paris, March 1.-How Edward De
Valera, the Sim Fein leader, escaped
from Lincoln prison in England, Feb
ruary 8, has become known here. 1t
was related to the Associated Press by
Scar O'Cealligh, the Sim Feiner who
is asking the Peace conference to rec
ognize the provisional government
of the Irish republic"
after the arrest of De Valera in
Greystone," Mr.. O'Cealligh said, "he,
with IL comrades, was sent to Lincoln
prison. Because of De Valera's i'm
portance, the strictest watch was main
tained on them. The most stringent
censorship possible was maintained
over their mail. 1t may be seen,
therefore, that it was most difficult to
get word to De Valera concerning his
escape. Included among the prisoners
in the various jails were 81 members
of parliament. After the general elec-
tions a meeting of republican members
of the Irish Parliament was appointed
to take charge of the release of the
incarcerated men and the first result
of that committees activity was the
escape of De Valera.
GirdIed by Barbed Wire.
"The prison lay in an isolated part
of the town. Outside the back gate
was a patch of ground on which the
prisoners were allowed to exercise
under guard. This place was surround
ed by barbed wire entanglements and
at sunset force of military was
thrown about the prison. Because of
this military it was decided to be un-
wise to try to rush the place.
"Tho next move was to communicate
with De Valera and one Sim Feiner
started working on garden plot of
which there were several near the pris-
on. He attracted De Valera's atten-
tion one day by singing Sim Fein
songs in Gaelic in which he told the
leader that an attempt would be made
to rescue him. This man appeared
again several days later and again
sang ballad in which he asked De

that the reasons are deeper and more
serious than that.
Justice Cohalan induced Homer
Cummings, the new democratic nation
al committeeman, to send two repre-
sentatives to see the president at
Washington in behalf of Ireland. He
also told Mr. Cummings that if Ireland
was left out when self-determination
was granted to small nations, the dem

might as we'll close its house."
Mr.. Cohalan was active in the
