Many things have happened this last week.
The East Coast was bombarded but fortunately the ships were soon driven off. More Zepp raids too & also there has been a rising in Ireland. The leader Sir R Casement*1 was caught in a ship full of ammunition which was being taken to Ireland.

The news today is that the rebels are surrendering but last Monday they at first got the upper hand & surrounded the Post Office in Dublin.

To day alas we hear that Kut*2 has fallen. I fear they must have had a terrible time.
