The executions caused a tremendous
sensation and have had the effect oil
quening talk of further peace negotia-
tfons for the time being
Business was at a standstilI. Even the
postofflce WAS closed. Outside OF Mt
JOY prison many persons gathered. Many
knelt in prayer and sobs and cries OF
fermentation filed the air.
Inside the prison, without a few hun
bred feet OF the spot where the six con-
demned men met their death, was Arthur

Attempts to obtain a reprieve for the
six republicans failed. Word was re-
ceived from London early in the day that
the Home Office and the Irish Office
would not interfere.
It was decided that the men would be
executed In pairs, beginning at a. m.
After Wheelan and Moran, two others Of
the condemned men were ordered to their
doom at Z o'clock and at S o'clock the
third pair met death.
The highest feeling was aroused over

GERMAN CABINET
VOTED FREE HAND

BERLIN, March 1.-THE vote of con-
fdence in the German Cabinet by the
Reichstag gave 1t a free hand today to
deal with the new indemnity situation
created by the allies occupation Of
Dusseldorf, Duisburg and Ruhrort.
DR.. Trimborn, leader Of the Centrum
party, during the debate in the Reichstag
which preceded the vote Of confidence,
urged all parties to support the present
ministry, adding:
Neither this government nor any
other can carry out the allies indemnity
demands as formulated at Paris"
DR.. Trimborn emphasized Germany's
desire to rebuild northern France with
her own money and her own architects.
Our vote of confidence was given to
the German Cabinet, not to DR.. Walter
Simons, the foreign minister" said
Count Westarp, leader of the German
Nationalist. Even the first indemnity
proposals rendered by DR.. Simons at
London did not have the approval OF the
German experts. 1t is lucky for us that
the allies did reject both sets Of German
counter proposals"
Count Westarp urged the government
to take the view that the allied penalties
abrogated the treaty Of Versailles.
Count Westarp said there should be
no more negotiations between Germany
and the allies on PREPARATIONS until the
three Rhine towns occupied by allied
troops are evacuated.
The German government must change
Its propaganda on the question of war
guilt" declared Count Westsrp. I'VE
must hammer into the worlds mind that
Germany was not responsible for the
war"
The history OF the war began with
the annexation OF Alsace and Lorraine"
said DR.. Breitscheid, leader Of the In
dependent Socialists, replying to Count
Westarp.
We Germans bear the moral guilt of
the war" he continued.
