MacAuley Is Cousin of John McNeill, Reported Killed in Revolt. OUTBREAK CAUSES TOLD failure of Irish Parliamentary Leaders to Secure Independence and Remedy Economic Injustice Blamed. John McNeill, the Sinn Fein leader who is reported to have been killed in the revolt in Ireland. Is a cousin of P. J. MacAuley. o Portland, and it is probable that others who have been in volved in the uprising-, probably paying with their lives, were erstwhile con freres and university associates of Mr. MacAuley's. Mr. McNeill was one of the most ad vanced Gaelic scholars in Ireland, and was reckoned amons the most erudite on the island. Mr. MacAuley has been away from Ireland only Eix years, and the developments of the last several days, while not unexpected, are in a measure surprising to him; largely be cause of the men who have been men tioned in the leadership. Mr. MacAuley says the revolt is the direct result of the failure of the Irish parliamentary leaders to get adequate remedial legislation for Ireland. Mr. MacAuley also explained what is meant by the "Sinn Fein" and that it is pro nounced as if spelled Shin Fane. "The words Sinn Fein are Gaelic," naid Mr. MacAuley. "In English they mean literally 'We, Ourselves." So far they signify an idea clearly recognized by nation as well , as individual the elemental need of self-expression, of exercising the faculties along their nat ural lines. Common Cause Meant. "As applied to a specific body of the Irish people, working together for common cause, 'Sinn Fein' denominates those Irish men and women who have come to realize the hopelessness of constitutional agitation for their rights ana who believe they must work out Ireland's national salvation without re course to parliamentary aid. .lust how strong the Sinn Fein are it is impossible now to determine. But their membership must be reckoned by lens of thousands, and these are drawn from all classes representing every part of Ireland. As to the personnel of the leaders, a more complex group it would be hard to find. John McNeill whose name occus so frequently of late in press dispatches. must bo accorded a prominent place In 'Sinn Fein' councils. He is best known for his work in re-sstablishing the Irish language as a living medium of com munteation throughout the country, and ha is also editor of the Irish Volunteer. Lrnrtern Are Xamed. nr.

Sequence Is Logical. The rebellion of the Sinn Feiners is the. logical sequence to the failure of the Irish parliamentary party to effect my adequate remedial legislation for Ireland. The land act of 1903, and the home rule bill of 1914. form the small total of constitutional gain during the quarter of a century that has elapsed -since tne death of Parncll.

SITUATION MORE COMPLEX Photo Copyright by Underwood. AUGUSTUS BIRRELL. Augustus Birrell, Chief Secretary for Ireland, made the first announcement of the Irish revolt in Parliament, in the House of Commona, last Thursday. saying- that the situation was well in h and, but that communication with Dub lin was still difficult. The Irish revolutionists Identified with the Sinn Fein party, mostly armed. occupied Stephens Green, and took possession of the postofflce. where they cut the telegraphic and telephonic wires. Houses also were occupied by th rioters in Stephens Greenr Sackville street. Abbey street and along the quays. are controlled directly or indirectly by parliamentarians and spread the propa- anda dictated by London. "The small Irish weeklies have one after another been suppressed, the Gael, the Irish Worker, Freedom, the Republic, to mention but a few, have been confiscated. The daily papers have systematically conducted a cam paign of silence against 'Sinn lein and its adherents. Old Pcrnet'iitlons Keen I led. "As a result, the recent 'outbreak in Dublin was the first intimation to thousands of Americans that such an organization as 'Sinn Fein existed. To those of us, however, who have kept in touch with Irish developments, the arrests and imprisonments and deporta tions are strangely and sadly remi niscent of the days when they were 'hanging- men and women for the wear ing of the green. '"Lest any contrast be -drawn between the loyal support given Britain by her colonial possessions and the disaffec tion that exists in Ireland today, it should be remembered that while Irish taxation is now 23.722,000 pounds a year or upwards of 15,0 JO. 000 pounds a year extra since the war was started. neither Canada nor New Zealand can be taxed one penny extra by England and Canada has received millions in war orders. Personal ly I think that when the answer to 'Sinn Fein' is writ ten, it will be the story of a people's struggle not merely for their national independence, but for economic justice."

The prisoners taken by the troops can be dealt with under the provisions of martial law unless the government decides on lenience. Correspondents who are assembled In the North Wall quarter, were unable to communicate this morning with headquarters. Officers returning re ported everything much quieter than for several days and confirmed the belief that the military have the situa tion well in hand. From the roof of the correspondents' hotel, many fires could be observed mostly in central Dublin. The hotel is kept under a constant fire by well- concealed snipers, from both the North and the South. The soldiers reply whenever they see the flash of a rifle, but the location of the snipers had not been discovered up to noon. All the houses around North Wall were cleared of men last night by the troops, who rounded the men up and kept them in custody until daybreak. Firing went on, however, as briskly as ever. Hughes In Jllfcli Fator, but He Is Said to Admit Lack or Experi ence In International Affairs ' That Will Be In Fore. BY JOHN C ALLAN O'LAUGHLIN. WASHINGTON, April 29 An organ ized movement to bring about the nom ination for President of ex-Senator Root by the Republican National Con vention haa been launched. This movement Is under the direction of John W. Dwight, who was Repub lican whip of the House of Representa tives some years ago. and who Is rec ognized to be one of the ablest political managers in the country. Mr. Root is not a candidate for the Presidency and has Issued statements from time to time which disclose the view he has as to his own unavail ability. His frienus, however, have de clined to take him at his word. They point out that Mr. Root is one of the greatest statesmen this Nation has pro duced; that he Is pastmaster In the art of directing foreign affairs and that this Is the time when a man of his caliber should be in office. Hufrnes Admits Shortcoming's. Associate Justice Hughes, who still has the lead as the candidate of the regulars in the Republican party, con fesses that he has no knowledge of foreign affairs and never has had any experience in such matters. This, in the opinion of the associate Justice, Is the Important reason why he should j not be nominated. Mr. Hughes has a high opinion of the management of foreign affairs by Colonel Roosevelt and Mr. Root during the seven years of the Roosevelt Administration. It Is gen erally admitted that when Colonel Roosevelt retired from the Presidency the prestige of the United States was never higher and one Senator said to day that "if Roosevelt or Root should be elected the attitude of foreign pow ers toward questions with this country ould change instantly. Whether Mr. Root could be elected Is a matter of doubt. The ex-Senator and Secretary of Ftate does not believe it possible. It has been previously re ported that Colonel Roosevelt would support Mr. Root and also that he would not do so. Delegate Virtually tnlnstrncted. While there will be a great many votes cast for favorite sons In the com ing Republican convention it may be accepted as beyond question that all of the delegates will reurard themselves as unlnstructed. A prominent Rep-ubllean politician who Is a regular, but friendly to Colonel Roosevelt, said that the un derlying sentiment of the delegates un doubtedly would favor the nomination of Mr. Hughes, even In spite of his dec laration that he would not be a candi date. If Mr. Hughes should not get the nomination he predicted that Colonel Rofsevelt would be named as the standard-bearer. So far as the election In Massachusetts is concerned, he pointed out that the people must not get the Impression that the old Bay State had "turned down" Roosevelt. The four delegates-at-large Senators Lodge and Weeks, Governor McCall and ex-Senator Crane represent the regular fac tion. Senator Lodge Is a close and Inti mate friend of Colonel Roosevelt; Mr. Weeks, according to information which has become known, would vote for him and Mr. McCall would do likewise. Mr. Crane Is opposed to Colom I Roosevelt. Four of the 36 members of the Massa- cnusetts delegation were elected on a Roosevelt ticket. The Massachusetts delegation as a whole probably will be lor .tLUgnes. Ford Vote Is Surprise. The surprising vote cast for Mr. Ford In the Nebraska Presidential primaries continues to give the politicians of both the Republican and Democratic parties a great deal of concern. It is argued that these returns show the presence of a peace-at-any-prlce sentiment, the Im portance of which cannot be overesti mated. "If Ford should run. and I believe he will run as an Independent candidate." said an Influential Republican Senator. it Is certain he win get a large vote. He will draw from the Republican party In the Dakotas, Michigan, Iowa, Ne braska and Kansas and probably Wis consin. He-will get the ultra-German- American vote, which despises Wilson and hates Rocsevelt and Root. That vote might go to Hughes. He will also get the peace-at-any-price vote, but this will be taken largely from the Democrats. Mr. Wilson's strong attitude toward Germany and the operations he was compelled to inaugurate In Mexico will not please this class of voters.
