Dublin Castle Gets Blame
For Not Releasing McKeown

| LONDON. Aug. s.-Dublin Castle
apparently scored a grievous error
when it announced that John J
lMcReown. Sim Fein commandan,
convicted of murder. would not b
released with the other Dali
Eireann members.
The error was Immediately cor
rected by the instant release OF the
prisoner. but there Is a tendency
here to blame the. castle for a
blunder which infuriated large
number Of Irish Republicans and
very nearly jeopardized the peace
program. II is generally conceded
that McKeowh's release has ameli-
Grated the trouble and that the in
cident is now closed.
Reason for Action.
The quandary in which Dublin
Castle found itself was due to un-
certainty as to whether the gov
ernment's orders for the general
liberation Of Dali Eireann members
should include one convicted Of
murder Rather than take a chance
and order MeKeown's release, the
castle chose to consult the highest
authorities before reaching a deci-
sion
It is Understood as well that the
well authenticated reputation Of
Commandant McKeown for acts Of
chivalry and kindness to wounded
auxiiiaries played a large part In
influencing the authorities to order
his release. -
The Irish generally view the, In
cident as a mistake on the part of,
the castle. a mistake that has, been
rectified by the british government
and therefore not to- be charged up
against, Lloyd George or the British
workerN for peace.

PARIS, Aug. s.-Ireland scored a
double victory at the Hotel Crillon
this morning when Lloyd George
directed the British passport bu-
reau to grant visas for Frank p.
Walsh, counsel for the American
Committee of Irish Independence
and American adviser to Eamonn
de Valera. to proceed from Paris
to. England and ireland and later
ordered the release Of John J. No
Keown, the sole member of Dali
Eireann who had not been liber-
ated by the British.
The home office at London tele.
phoned Paris this morning that
Dudley Field Malone had appealed
for a passport for Mr.. Walsh and
the prime minister Immediately
ordered visas. Mr.. Walsh will
leave for London tomorrow.
The Dali Eireann ultimatum that
IL would not consider the Lloyd
George-Dc Valera accord until Nc
Keown was freed was flashed to
the 1Crillon before noon and the
prime minister Immediately or
dered his release.
Irish headquarters here and Sean
O'CeallaiSh, the Irish Ambassador
to Paris" were jubilant at the two
triumphs, asserting that Lloyd
George was evidencing his sincere
intention for peace and a solution
of the Irish problem.
