Its Legendary History, Going Back to the Third Century,
Is Filled With Stories of Conflict With People Out
side the Town,
From th National Ggrnrhir RncletT.
The recent revolt In Dublin recalls
many stormy episodes In the history
of the Irish capital on the shores or
the Irish sea, 334 miles northwest of
London and less than 70 miles from
Holyrood, the nearest English port.
Even its legendary history, going back
to tha third century of the Christian
ra, ! filled with stories of conflict.
one of the earliest being a narrative
of the defeat of the people of the
surrounding province by the Inhabi
tants of the town In 291.
One of tha mot tragic events of
Dublin's early history is an echo of
this hatred of tha people of the coun
try districts for those of the city. The
ooeurrence Is commemorated In Irish
chronicles as tha Slack Monday of
1209. It was during the faster holi
days of that year, strangely parallel
ing the time of the present revolt,
that the Irish of the surrounding
mountains rushed down into the val
ley of the Llffay river, on whose banks
Dublin Is situated, and, while the in
habitants ware celebrating the relig
ious holiday, 600 of their number were
killed. Tha place of the massacre
la still known as "Blood Fields," and
for many years, In order to keep alive
the sense of outrage against the hill
people, the citlsens on each anniver
sary of Black Monday would march
to the scene of the massacre, bearing
banners Inscribed with the legend "A
Terror to the Native Irish."
Good right Waver Declined.
Even In the early days the vigor
with which the people of Dublin waged
their Internecine strifes did not lessen
the Impetuosity with which they en
tered upon any conflict with a foreign
Invader. They tore- down their
churches to secure stones for their
walls when preparing for the defense
of their city against Edward Bruce In
1315, and when the Irish governor,
who had yielded to the enemy, fell
into the hands of the defenders, he

One of the most spectacular out
breaks of the. sixteenth century was
that led by Silken Thomas (Sir Thom
as Fitzgerald) a daring young noble
man who, upon hearing that his father
had been beheaded In the tower of
London, raised a large army and
marched to the gates of Dublin, where
he was admitted by the intimidated
citizens. Shortly afterward, however,
when he endeavored to leave the city
he found the gates locked. He made
his escape, carrying with him some
of the children of the city, and with
these as hostages he managed to se
cure the release of all his followers.
Subsequently - this rebellion was
quelled and the leaders were executed
at Tyburn in 1536.
It was more i. an a hundred years
after the death of Sir Thomas that a
conspiracy to seize Dublin castle waa
revealed by Owen Connolly on the
day before the attempt was to have
been made. This was during the re
bellion of 1641, and it was Connolly's
information which raved Dublin for
the king. Cromwell. James II and
William III In turn visited Dublin
with armed forces.

London, May 20. (I. N. S.) A corre
spondent of the Chronicle describes the
Turkish' massacres in Armenia a fol
lows:
The recent Armenian massacres, in
which it Is feared that from 800,000 to
1,000,000 victims have perished or are
destined to perish in exile, represent
the wholesale extermination of a race.
That perhaps a quarter of a million es
caped to Transcaucasia does not alter
the f acfthat the Young Turks intended
to make away with them en bloc, with
the-exception of the Armenian colonies
of Constantinople, Smyrna and one or
two other ports.
The reasons alleged by their execu
tioners were that the Armenians had
been incited to revolt by the entente
powers, in co-operation with the Rus
sian offensive movement; that tbelr
wholesale deportation was a measure
dictated by Imperative military neces
sity, and that repressive measures were
not undertaken against the Armenians
until Jane, wheri they rose in Van and
other places In the war zone and joined
hands with the enemy
As a: matter of fact, the deportation
of Armenians frohv places widely re
moved from the theatre of war com

The residue, consisting for the most
part of old men, women and children,
were uprooted from their homes- and
sent across .Asia Minor the great ma
jority "on foot, until such as survived
reached their destinations in the des
erts of Syria. The tortured progress
of these unfortunates, at the mercy of
their brutal gendarme escorts or of the
savage- Kurdish tribes who attacked
them en the road, affords one of the
most poignant pages in history.
Even in normal times the Armenians'
condition was altogether unendurable.
They were treated as a subject and in
ferior race, and could get neither jus
tice nor protection. Their only hope
lay in internal reform a vain hope,
never realized in the face of determined
Turkish opposition. Nor could they
look for external help, as could the
Greeks and Bulgars, to rescue them
from Turkish tyranny.
It Is not surprising, therefore, that
when Turkey declared war upon the en

for tha success of the. allies, (though
they remained perfectly quiet, well

In the Hamidlan massacres of 1U94-

slain, and the Protestant and Catholic
communities were spared. In the pres.

children were butchered or carried off
to a fate worse than death, - and the
Protestants and Catholics shared in the
common fate of their race.
