Moreover the intensely conserva-

into that movement and formed into
the Irish Republican Brotherhood,
that favors the use Of force against
Great Britain and that formed the
back bone Of the rebellion in 1915
Accordingly II seems extremely
doubtful whether the present all pow
erful Sim Fein movement had any
real hold on the mass OF the popula-
