PENDING INQUIRY ASQUITH
STOPS COURTMARTIALS
■LONDON, May 12.—Prime Mi
nister Asquith in Parliament today
announced his intended immediate
departure for Ireland where he
■would examine the political situa
tion in person.
He stated that the court martial
has been ordered temporarily sus
pended pending the inquiry into the
shooting of the socialist editor
Skeffington.
Skeffington was shot by the men
who had him in custody without any
warrant, and without trial.
LONDON, May 12.—Asquith is now
visiting Dublin where he met Max
well and they discussed the situation
at great length. He approved the ex
ecution of the fourteen leaders and
intimated that two other signers rf
an important proclamation, now helc,
in jail, will receive death sentences.
Another leader named Connolly
who is seriously wounded and in pri
son will also probably be executed.
LONDON, May 12.—John Dillon,
prominent nationalist leader today in
Parliament denounced the Asuuitli
government for its severity in Ire
land in the bitterest speech that lias
been heard in the House of Com
mons since the days of Parnell. The
address was delivered with a
vehemence quite unusual from tho
Irish benches in recent years, and
throughout the entire length it was
uninterrupted by any dissenting re
marks. Dillon in scathing terms
declared that incapable in war, the
government could only find its max
imum of cruel senselessness In thy
outrageous policy that it was pursu
ing in Dublin. These executions in
Dublin were proof of the impossibil
ity of any peaceful adjustment of the
Irish aims, and were satisfactory
evidence of the justification of the
revolt.

KAISER DECORATED DOYED
FOR SERVICES IN THE U.S.

AMSTERDAM, May 12.—With the
Red Cross of the second class pin
ned to his uniform by the Kaiser
himself in person a few days ago at
Berlin, Captain Boyed formerly na
sal attache to the German Embassy
in the United States Was decorated
for his services.
Boyed was recalled at the request
«f the United States government and
and the personal decoration by the
Kaiser is considered an official up
holding of all his acts. Boyed was
specially chosen by the Kaiser for
service in the United States; von
Papen the' military aide was similar
ly appointed.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 12.—
The administration now that Ger
many has backed down on the sub
marine question is cohsidering pull
ing another bunch of feathers from
the German black eagle. It is semi
officially stated that the Department
of State is seriously considering the
proposition of asking Germany how
the commander of the submarine
who sank the Sussex has been pu
nished.
The fact that Boyed has been
decorated by the Kaiser in person is
considered a dexterous rebuff to the
United States and one so tactfully
administered that no reply can be
forthcoming.
The administration to press for an
answer as to how the captain of the
submarine was punished would
merely aggravate the strained rela
tions between the countries.

lteace vote within the ranks of the
republicans.
Wilson’s later policies give very
little hope that this might happen.
