"THE FEATHERHEAD REBELLION"
GERMANY DESERTS' ITS DUPES.
(Received May 11, 3 p.m.)
LONDON, 10th May
Mr. Herbert Samuel, at the National Liberal Club, said the Irish revolt -would be known in history as the " Featherhead Rebellion." The leaders had rashly put faith in their so-called " Continental Allies," but the German Government had betrayed its dupes. We ivould be guilty of unpardonable weakness unless -we meted out stern penalties to the bloodguilty; but w e did not intend to commit -widespread executions.
"There can," he said, "be no thought of peace until we have beaten the Germans ; we must not leave the settlement to our children. I believe that Verdnn is one of the decisive battles of the world, and that its outcome will be the final repulse of Germany's terrific effort."
