YEAR 83, : 99 THE CAPITAL OF IRELAND Dublin the Battieield of Erin's Hopes. HOME FOR CENTURIES DREAMERS OF FREEDOM, The Ancient Metropolis Is One Of the Handsomest in Europe--Where Robert Emmett Was Executed. No city in Europe possesses for its inhabitants the history that Dublin does for the people of Ireland. It was here that every historic attempt at gaining Irish independence was born, and it was here that all the young Irish dreamers of freedom gravitated at the various periods of Dublin's long history. Dublin was an ancient city before most of the Present European capitals were heard of and was a city of pretensions and population for more than a thousand Years before the United States was Sischvered by Christopher Colum- 8. From the days of the Vikings in the eighth century, when the Danish hordes swept up the Hill of Howth, a few miles outside the city, down to the present time, the ancient me- tropolis has been the battlefield of Irish hopes, futile attempts at inde- pendence and the scene of the murder of some of the brightest young Irish Patriots that have adorned history. OF Execution of Robert Emmett. It was in Dublin that Robert Em- mett was executed for starting and fomenting rebellion. He was be- headed in Phomas street not far from where the riots of Sunday and Mon- day occurred. Lord Edward Fitz- gerald also met his death in Dublin, as did many prominent in the various whenever trouble arises in the me- tropolis. Ancient College Green. College Green is one of the most ancient spots in the city. Trinity College, the famous school which turned out miny of not only Ireland's but England's greatest literary lights, is near the spot where once the green was. The ancient green has been utilized and only a lawn left in front of the college. Stephen Green, Merrion Square and Dame street are usually the storm centres in' times Mke the present, The population of Dublin at the present time is something over 400,- 000. These are not all Irish na- tives, as It must be considered that there are thousands of camp follow- ers of the British garrisons who take up their abode in Dublin. Nor is it always that Irish are really the ag- gressors in clashes between the for- sign troops and the people of the city. Engircled by Barracks. The city is encircled by as many military barracks as there are in the entire United States. There are barracks for cavalry, infantry and every branch of the service. Mili- tary bodies are seen continually marching about the city, relieving guards or attending sham battles in which these troops excel and have made Phoenix Park the chief recrea- tion spot in Dublin for children of the metropolis and their nurse- maids. Dublin Castle, which Lord Byron called' "a palace and a prison," is about the most dismal of all the public buildings. At one time it was the abode of the lord-lieutenant, and was also the bastile to which Irish rebels were doomed, many of them never being heard of. It was in one of the dungeons in this castle that the famous Owen Roe O'Donnel was confined in the thirteenth cen- tury and from which he made a thrill- ing escape. The vice-regal lodge is in Phoenix Park, and is constructed much along the lines of the White House at Washington. Phoenix Park is in the heart of the city, and comprises 850 acres of land- scape gardens, playgrounds, pardde grounds and grounds for athletic events. There are "no keep off the grass' signs in this park. The ancient House of Parliament is now occupied by the Bank of Ire- struggles for independence. Dublin Is regarded as one of the handsomest | cities in Europe from an architectu- | ral standpoint. Although the city is 2,000 years in existence, some of its buildings are | 50 old that their origin and purpose are lost in what Lord Macauley term- | ed the "twilight of fable." i There is scarcely a house or pub- lie building within the corporate lim-! i= of the city from Which the ivy eaves of centuries cannot be pluck- | ed. In fact, evefy stone in every | street, every tree in every park, ev-| ory bell in every belfry, and every cross surmounting every church has | a place In the history of the beauti- | ful city. a ' Widest Street in Europe: | O'Connell street, which was for- |. merly named Sackville street, after Lord Sackville, a British premier, and no friend of Ireland at any time, 48 the widest street in any city in!

New York, April 27 --The Essan- ay Film Manufacturing Company, through William Jennings, attorney for George K. Spoor, president, filed papers yesterday in the Supreme Court of New York in an action against Charles Chaplin for $500, 000 damages, charging breach of contract, It is alleged that Mr. Chaplin made a contract in Decem- ber, 1914, with the Essanay Com- pany for one year from that date, and was to receive $1.250 a week for which he was to give his exclusive time and talents. In the spring of 1915, it is said, he made a demand upon the Essanay company for more money. Mr. Spoor consented to a new agréement beginning in June, 1915, by which Mr. Chaplin agreed to make ten more pictures to the ex- piration of his contract, for which he gas to receive not only his $1,250 weekly salary, but also $100,000, payable in sums of $10,000, upon the completion of each of the ten pic- tures. Of the ten pictures which were called for under the new agreement, only seven, it is alleged, have been completed. For these seven Mr. Chap- lin was paid a bonus of $70,000. Mr. Chaplin, it is said, refused to com- plete the remaining three pictures and the above damages are sought, To France to Help At the Western Front. 3) TRANSPORTS USED TO CONVEY THE TROOPS TO . FRENCH SOIL Travelled From Port Arthur via China Sea, Red Sea, Suez and Mediterranean -- Three Hundred Thousand Expected. New York, April 26,--Forty thou- | sand Russian troops which arrived at Marseilles last Thursday and now én route to the fromt, did not come from Russia through ice-locked Ar- changel, Atlantic and. Straits of Gib- raltar, but via Trans-Siberian rail- way to Port AMhur through China Sea, Red Sea, Suez Canal and Med- iterranean. These troops, which five months ago were fighting on Russian front, travelled 18,000 miles to .fight in France. Never in the history of the world has there been such a number of trcops carried over such a tremen- dous distance on lands and sea, and in the light of these revelations it is easy to understand the enthus- iasm of the French people who pour- ed out to greet the Russians at Mar-~ seilles and cheer them as they jour- neyed northward towards the battle fromt.
