AMNESTY GRANTED
TO IRISH REBELS
Bonar Law Tells Commons
of Government Act
NO EXCEPTIONS ARE MADE
Desire to Bring About Harmony Is
Declared Cause.
LONDON, June 1. All the prison
ers taken In the Irish rebellion of
Easter Sunday, 1016, will be released
without reservation. This announce
ment was made In the House of Com
mons today by Andrew Bonar Law,
who said the government felt that
by so doing It would aid In the suc
cess of the approaching Irish conven
tion, which the government hoped
would effect a reconciliation among
Irish political parties. In making
the announcement, Mr. Bonar Law
said:
"The government has given long
and anxious consideration to the posi
tion of Irish political prisoners and
have arrived at the decision it now
la mv duty to announce.
The government have felt
after giving careful consideration to
the approaching session of the con
ventlon In which Irishmen themselves
will meet to settle the difficult prob
lem of the future administration of
their country, that this great ex-
I perlment win mark a new era in ine
relations between Ireland, the United
I Kingdom and the Empire. It is
therefore desirable beyond measure
i that the convention should meet In an
atmosphere of harmony and good will,
i i hih n nrti. can unreservedly
.join. Kothlng could be more regret
table than that the work of the con
vention should be prejudiced at the
outset by embittered associations
which might even hinder the settle
ment to which all look forward with
hope.
Release General.
' "In these circumstances, the Gov
ernment have decided they cannot
give better earnest of the spirit In
which they approach the convention
than by removing one of the main
causes of the serious misunderstand
ing of this subject with which It Is
In their power to deal. They have
decided, therefore, upon the release
without reservation of all prisoners
now In confinement In connection
with the recent rebellion In Ireland.
"They have not, however, arrived
at this decision without careful con
sideration of two aspects of the case
which It Is Impossible to Ignore. They
have satisfied themselves, first, that
Mw am.ia.iw imc..... . , . -, .
public securlety would no't be en
dangered by auch an act of grace.
and, second, that In none of the cases
concerned waa participation In the
rebellion accompanied by individual
acta which would render such a dis
play of clemency Impossible.
"In recommending to the King
grants of general amnesty to the per
sons in question, the government have
been Inspired by the sanguine hope
that their action will be welcomed in
a spirit of magnanimity and that the
convertlon will enter upon Its arduous
undertaking In circumstances that
will constitute a good augury for the
reconciliation which Is the desire of
all parties In every part of tha United
Kingdom and the British Empire.
Sonar Law Cheered
Mr. Bonar Law'a announcement was
received with general cheers.
Joseph Devlin expressed his grati
tude at the decision of the Govern
ment, but thought that had they been
advised to come to a decision earlier
they would have avoided much Irri
tation and created at a much earlier
period the spirit of reconciliation
and good temper which they hoped
would prevail In the future.
Herbert Samuels, for the English
Liberals; George J. Wardle, for the
Labor members; Eugene Wason. for
the Scottish Liberals, and Ellis Grif
fith, for the Welsh members, express
ed cordial approval of the action of
the government.
KAISER WESTERN RANCHER?
The Very Thought Makes Official
Newspaper Angry.
TUB HAGUE, June 16. The official
North German Gazette publishes an
i ngry attack on neutral papers which,
'It save, have circulated a story of the
Kaiser's holding American shares.
The paper says.
The notice now going the rounds
of neutrsl papers throws glaring light
on the methods of enemy agents This
story declares that the Kaiser and his
brother. Prince Henry, have Invested
considerable capital In AmeriauJ
shares. Previously these agents de
clared the Kaiser had property in
England, and hence the war against
Bngland was being conducted gently
The enemy propagates lies on a big'
scale and little dally." I
The true facts are that the story of I
the Kaiser's property in England was1
circulated In the German press and ad-1
mltted at tne time by the Von Tlrpltz
and Reventlow enthusiasts to explsln
why submarine warfare was delayed.
Similarly the American story, which,,
by the way, dates from long before
the war. Is being revived not by the1
allied agents, but by Germans to ex-1
plain the supposed reluctance of thl
Kaiser to let matters come to a cllmaj
with the United States. It may be add-1
ed that the Kaiser la supposed to own
ranches and other property In the mid
dle West. '

off the ground and towering
cally felled these scenes of merciless destruction illustrate
why the British soldier wants retribution against the Boche.
Tommy goes ahead repairing the
roads and clearing the debris from
village streets, admitting that It was
military good sense for the enemy to
obstruct the lines of pursuit.
But the Germans said they did these
things to prevent the concealment of
iroops. And the soldier reasons It
this way: The Boche aeroplanes
never get over" anyway to observe
where the troops are massing. Sa
what difference could It make whether
they have concealment? Also, the
Boche waa careful to ruin orchards,
but he left many acres of dense but
unproductive woods.
What's the answer? Strafe 'era.
Feronne Cathedral refuses the plea
of military necessity. Dynamite blew
out tne east wan and two sides and
brought the dome crashing amid the
prostrate stone columns. Today the
Interior Is a mountain of hopeless
wreckage. On Its sagging balcony

The British never shelled the
church. The remaining west wall is
not scarred by shell fragments. It
was left standing to hamper British
observation.
At the outskirts of the town lies
Peronne Cemetery, where the Boche
dug In among the dead. Corpses
were thrown Into bonfires and tha
vaults occupied by German officers aa
dugouts. Two trench lines run
straight through the cemetery.
Military necessity made the enemy
smash the door of a French family
tomb where six dead bad alept for
many years. The coffins remained ex
posed. Two English guard regiments with
a little feud between them went into
the cemetery on the heels of the
Boche. The first arrivals found one
coffin bored by a machine gun bullet
from the direction of their advance.
This message waa on the white-washed
wall:
The Boche may have had dugouts
here, but he didn't shoot the hole In
the far-off coffin."
To which the late-comers scribbled
this reply:
"Neither did they write on the
walls, you blackguards."
