Shed New Light
 on Irish Killings

Dublin, May 1-An article entitled guerilla warfare" which sheds new light on assassinations in Ireland has been discovered in the effects of Paul John Vignoiss of Cork, re- gently tried by court martial and sentenced to six months imprison- ment "for having in his possession an issue of the official organ of the Irish volunteers"
 "It is the duty of volunteers to recognize in all their plans, in meth ods of training and study and in their general outlook. the existence of this state of guerilla warfare and all that it implies," says the article, which has been made public in an official communication. Ut is our business to develop those guerilla tactics which we have found most serviceable in dealing with actual conditions in Ireland at present. and to bring them to the highest pitch of perfection of which they are cap able. It is our business to wage war against the forces of the invaders whenever and however we find it can be done most effectively.
 "Of all forms of small wars, that most dreaded by lmperlallSt armleS of conquest is prolonged guerilla warfare in which they are unable to obtain moments security nor gain any opportunity of effectively crush ing their foe. Particularly do they dread the adoption of well-organized guerilla tactics by civilized foe of keen intelligence and courage. Surprises, ambushes, raids on their fortified positions, sniping of their stragglcrs, the capturing of their arms and equipment, interruption of itheir communications, interference with their intelligence, are to- be apprehended by them daily, and their forces are driven more and more in- to the position of invested garri- sons in the midst of hostile coun- try, afraid to venture from their strongholds except in force, living in a state of perpetual apprehension. That such state of affairs exists to great extent in Ireland at present is obvious to all and it is the busi- ness of the Irish volunteers to see to it that it continues to gr4w more intense and more menacing to the invaders"

newspapers point out that the in- creased wage scale is only another step in the "vicious circle" and that the uncontrolled merchandizer will put up prices correspondingly. On every hand the question is asked {: When will the end come? And what then"
 Meanwhile the government says it cannot decrease the civil list and dismiss so large number of men, when there is no employment open to them, and emigration is practically prohibited. It would, they say, bring about "a crisis"
 In some quarters, it is asserted, the government is powerless to break down the old bureaucracy. It is a firmly entrenched relic of the em- pire, it is said, and to touch it would mean political death for the govern ment brave enough to attempt it.

Mr.. Cummings committee has pro-
vided against that. There Is to be no
rushing of the convention by crowds,
such as has often taken place at Chi
cago. a stockade has been built about
the Auditorium here to keep the crowds
at distance. OF course. splendid
building like the Auditorium. with a
high board stockade around it, would
not look very well, but the San Fran
ciscans. with their instinct for the
prOprieties, have met that difficulty.
They have covered the stockade with
branches from some shrub so that it
looks like n tall green hedge instead
of rough board stockade. No one can
get inside this stockade hedge who is
not entitled to enter the convention.
Inside the hall the chairman controls
the convention and the galleries by a
system of telephones by which he may
reach scrgeants at arms stationed in all
parts of the hall. especially in the
galleries.. If anybody makes trouble
the chairman, by telephone, may direct
the attention of the nearest sergeant
at arms TO him. The now telephone
system for amplifying the human voice
hangs over the convention platform. 1t
is adjusted to the vocal power of
each speaker who takes the rostrum.
BY it even the feeblest voices may be
made TO rcsound through the great hall.
This device was first successfully used
in the Republican convention at Chi.
