BACKOF ALLIED PREMIERS

LONDON, March S.-Practically all
British newspapers today commented
favorably upon the decision of the
allies to give Germany sterner treat
ment. However, all were not united

allied advance on the Rhine will prove
satisfactory.

luton will arise"
The Daily News called IL "a triumph
for the French policy of revenge"
This newspaper added:
Marshal Foch, before many months
have passed. will prove too easily 1t

The Daily Express praises the
unanimity of decision among the al
lies, but acknowledges that II has
misgivings about the future, now that
the allied troops have advanced.

this was not solely disagreement
about money" said the Chronicle. at

the Daily Mail. They cannot AFFORD
to be weakly lenient to defaulters any

"This will teach the Germans that
they must keep their word and per-
haps convince them Of the merits OF
an honest policy" was the comment
of the Times.
"We hope that the Germans will
now see and realize their mistake"
declared the Daily Mirror.

CLANCY'SBROTHER
VOWS VENGEANCE
Driven From Ireland Five Years
Ago, will Go Back to Seek
REVENGE.

NEW YORK, March S.-When the
news was reached here yesterday OF
the Staying Of Lord Mayor Clancy. OF
Limerick. the lord mayors brother
Egan Clancy, solemnly swore to
avenge his death.
Even though he was forced to fee
here from Ireland fve years ago be-
cause of his Sim Fein Activities
Clancy said he would return as soon
as possible for vengeance No tears
dimmed his eyes as he faced a gr PUP
of friends in the headquarters of the
Irish american Labor League, at 262
West Twenty-third street. and said:
George died the glorious death OF
a gallant Irishman-for the cause
Perhaps by this time my old father
and my brothers-Jack, Joe, and
Paddy-may have avenged George
but I feel that IL Is for me to do SO,
too. And so must return.
Immediately after the battle OF
Macroom. George was forced to fee TO
the mountains. He was pursued con
tinually, but was able to keep away
from the soldiers. Evidently he
slipped into Limerick secretly to see
his wife and was found at his home
and killed"
While little has been known in this
country OF Lord Mayor Clancy, he
was reputed to be one of the most
intellectual men in ireland and one OF
its greatest linguists. Born. thirty
four years ago, he was graduated
from the University of Dublin with
the degrees of B. A. and NJ. A. in 1904
and until 1908 was professor of mod
ern languages in the university
Later he perfected the school courses
of instruction in Gaelic, a language
which he mastered as a boy. He also
spoke German, French, Spanish, Latin,
and Greek as nuently as he did Eng
lish.
From his father. John. now seventy
one, a Fenian. who fought at the
battle OF Kilmollock in 1857. he got
the spirit which made him one of the
leaders in the Sim Fein. In 1914 he
led the expedition to Antwerp to get
arms for the Volunteers in the south
of Ireland. The following year he
was made commander of the Linn
erick City battalion OF 1900 soldiers
Of the Irish Republic.
Clancy was arrested many times,
and once was sentenced to Dartmoor
Jail. He received three years in Bel
fast Jail in 1917. but got out after
serving three months. He served as
president Of the Limerick aldermen
last year and on January 81 last
while commander Of the volunteers in
the Curlew mountains was elected
lord mayor.
His wife. who was Miss Mary Kill
leen, Is a champion rife shot and a
leader in the Women's Auxiliary OF
the Sim Fein. Men called her al
valiant as her husband as a fighter
They were married four years age
and have no children.

IRISH Wish PEACE
Archbishop GiImartin Suggests
Plan He Believes Would
End Conflict.
BY EARL G. REEVES.
InternationiI News Service.

LONDON, March s.-Dr. Gilmartin,
the Roman Catholic archbishop OF
Tuam,, who launched the truce OF
God" campaign in Ireland. for which
he has been attacked by many sinn
Feiners. still holds steady in his be-
lief that the Irish people would
welcome peace. ai e
The archbishop's procurement ON
peace some months ago was the
cause of the first serious canvass
and public discussion OF the possible
tiles of settlement that Ireland had
known in many troubled months.
He is a man OF tremendous ihftu-
ence in the province of Connaught.
and he has continued to WELD this
influence in favor OF a settlement.
Sim Fein, or more particularly the
militant leaders declare him suspect
ed of imperialist leanings.
The International News Service
has presented to him a series OF
questions and his answers. in view
Of his position 'in that country, con-
st!tute an important analysis Of the
Irish situation today.
The questions and answers follow:
GRANT FISCAL CONTROL.
apart from what you have all
ready suggested in communications't to

as to how the present CONFLICT In Ire
land can be terminated?"
"If the British government" the
Archbishop answered. "were to offer
ireland full fiscal control and allow
the representatives OF the people to

do the Irish people want peace in
their present temper"
'Tn my opinion the Irish people are
willing to have peace and friendship
on the terms implied In the answer to
the first question"
Are there any grounds for the sug-
gestion frequently appearing in Eng
lish newspapers and other publica-
tions hostile to Ireland's demands that
the Roman Catholic hierarchy would
be repudiated by Catholic Ireland IL
1t attempted, at this moment to con-
denim Sim Fein?"
This is a question which cannot
arise. As a body the bishops do not
interfere in pure politics. They have
already spoken on the moral aspects
of the present conflict. They have
condemned crime on both Sides"
DISASTER FOR Roth.
"As there appears to be disposi-
ton on the part of the Irish republi-
can army to make the conflict a fight
to a finish,' what do you think of Ire
lands chances?'
ITO all appearances there is no
chance of a military success, but as to
other lines of success opinions differ.
