GREEK REVOLUTION IS BEING PLOTTED the This Leaders of 1909 Uprising Planning Another As Former Premier Grows in Popularity. Athens, Sunday, April 23, via Rome and Paris, April 29, 12:25 a. m.— (Delayed)—An impartial observer jwho has just returned from a tour of al the main and of Greece re- ports an amazing spread of senti- ment in favor of Eliptherios Venize- los, the former premier, even in con- servative Pelopinnesus. The recent efforts of the government to sup- press the demonstrations and meet- ings of the Venizelos adherents has awakened deep resentment among the people, and there is a growing deter- mination to oust the present govern- ment even if it be necessary to resort to arms. The Associated Press learns from incontestable authority that several leaders of the revolution of 1909 are actively engaged in planning a sim- ilar attempt, although Venizelos de- precates this and advises instead the practice of patience and use of legal methods. Frequent talks with King Constan- tine have convinced the Associated Press correspondent that the monarch honestly is persuaded that a policy of inaction is approved by a major- ity of the Greek people. The kind persists in regarding the demonstr: tions of the growing popularity of Venizelos as mere political maneu- | vers. diplomatic observers who position to judge declare ent situation cannot last and that unless Neutral are in a that the pres sixty days longer, an allied offensive against Bulgaria relieves the tension by sweeping the Greeks into war with their ancient enemies a political cataclysm in Greece is inevitable. The time for a compromise be- tween the liberals and the adherents of the ministry has passed. A more rigid triple censorship of all press telegrams keeps the world generally ignorant of actual condi- tions in Greece.

AND COMPANY 404 National Bank Building REDMOND FLAYS THE IRISH REVOLUTION Says Germany Is M;king Catspaw Out of Erin London, April 29.—Condemning the revolt-in Dublin as an ‘“‘attempt to make Ireland the catspaw of Ger- many”, John Redmond, leader of the Irish Nationalists in the house of commons, gave out a statement on the uprising. The plot, he declared, was not so much treason to the allies, as it was to the cause of Irish liberty, of home rule, achieved after centuries of struggle. “This attempted deadly blow at home rule,” said Mr. Redmond, ‘“is made more wicked, more insolent, by this fact—that Germany plotted it. Germany organized; Germany paid for it. So far as Germany’s share in it is concerned, it is a German inva- sion of Ireland as brutal, as selfish, as cynical as Germany’s invasion of Belgium. Blood has been shed, and if Ireland has not been reduced to the same horrors of Belgium, with her starving people, her m cred priests and her violated convents, it is not the fault of Germany. Like Lapse Into Tragic Past. “My first feeling, of course, on hearing of this insane movement, was one of horror, discouragement and al- | most despair. I asked myself whether | Ireland, as so often before in her trag- ic history, was to dash the cup of lib- erty from her lips—was the insanity of a small section of her people once again to turn all her marvellous vic- tories of the last few years into irrep- arable defeat and to send her back, on the very eve of her final recognition as a free nation, into another long night of slavery, inculculable suffer- and uncertain strug- gling. “For, look at the Irish position to- day. In the short space of forty years Ireland has by a constitutional move- ment made an almost unbrokenly tri- umphant march from pauperism and slavery to prosperity and freedom. She has won back the possession of Irish land; she has stayed emigration; she has at last begun an era of national prosperity. Finally she has succeed- ed in placing on the statute books the greatest charter of freedom ever of- fered her since the days of Grattan. Is all this to be lost? Germany Ircland’s Foc. “When war came she made a choice which was inevitable if she was to be true to all the principles which she had held through all her history, and which she had just so completely vin- dicated on her own soil, namely, the rights of small nations, sacred princi- ples of nationality, liberty and demo- crac: “Moreover, the nations for which all her history she had felt the sympathy that came from common principles and common aspirations were trampled, as she had in her time been trampled under the iron heel of aro- gant force. “What has Ireland suffered in the past which Poland, Alsace, Belgium, and Serbia have not suffered at the hands of Germany? And 1 may id also, that portion of the soil of ance, her old friend and ally, which i is in the hands of Germany? Sons Dying For Allies Cause. “What has been the record of Ger- many but the suppression of nationa- ality, of freedom and of language— in short, the suppression of all things for which for centuries Ireland has struggled, the victory of which Ire- land has achieved. Take the case of Belgium. Has there not been there the same ruthless shedding of blood of the priests and the people that is part of Ireland’s own history? Leave the question of principle outand con- sider the question only of the mere interests of Ireland herself. What did the situation demand “Neutrality? That was impossible. Hostility to the just cause of the Al- lies? Is there a sane man in Ireland who does not see that this meant the drowning of Ireland’s newly-won lib- erties in Irish blood? Be this view right or wrong, this was the opinion liberty of Ireland and of the world. “But, anyhow, it was the opinion of Ireland, and surely I need not ar- gue the principle, especially with any- body who has professed himself a Home Ruler, that the policy of Ire- | land must be decided by Ireland her- self. That is the principle which has been adopted by the Irish race every- where. “Millions of our people the United States and elsewhere, whose generous devotion helped us so large- ly to win our victories for the mother- land of our race, have always accept- ed it. However bounteous their help, never have they denied Ireland’s right to choose her policy for herself. That doctrine has been contested only by the very same men who today have tried to make Ireland a cat's paw of Germany. “In all our long and successful struggle to obtain home rule we have been thwarted and opposed by that same section. We have won home rule not through them, but in spite of them. This wicked move of theirs was their last blow at home rule. It was not half as much treason to tke cause of the Allies as treason to the cause of home rule. “And the final aggregation is th The misguided, insane young men who have taken part in this move- ment in Ireland have risked, and some of them lost their lives. But what am I to say of those men who have sent them into this insane and anti-patriotic movement while they have remained in the safe remoteness of American cities? Condemns Irish Pro-Germans. “I must add that this movement has been set in motion by this same class of men at the very moment when America is demanding repara- tion for the blood of innocent Amer- ican men, women and children shed by Germany, and thus they are gullty of double treason—treason to the generous land that received them, as well as to the land which gave them birth. “Is it not an additional horror that on the very day when we heard that the men of Dublin Fusiliers had been killed by Irishmen in the streets of Dublin we received news of how | men of the 16th Division—our own Trish hrigade, and of the same Dublin l Fusilliers—had dashed forward and | by their unconquerable bravery re- taken trenches the Germans had won at Hulluch? Was there ever such a picture of tragedy which a small see- tion of an Irish faction has so often inflicted on the fairest homes and the bravest deeds of Ireland? “As to the final result: I do not believe this wicked and insane move- ment will achieve its ends. The Ger- in man plot has failed. A majority of the people of Ireland retain their calmness, fortitude and unity. They abhor this attack on their interests, their rights and their principles. Home Rule has not been destroyed. Jt remains indestructible.” THREE LOCAL CASES IN SUPERIOR COURT One Case Brings Out Question of Whether or Not John St. Man Has Been Killed In War. Three New Britain cases were argued before Judge Willlam S. Case in the Superior court vesterday. They were the Savings Bank of New Britain vs Charles Berosoff; the Col- ilnsville Saving society vs Albert Halpern, and Henry J. Bradbury vs George B. Alling.
