A young man was strolling down the market, pausing now and then to speak to the 'Owner of a booth, or some man or woman standing 'by their ass-carts, He wore a long frieze coat that reached to his ankles, and carried a stick in his hand. His face W,38 clean-shaven, hi'S" eye keen, and his figure erect. The street was thronged with country people who had ',come to buy or sell. Many of the housese wede thatched, those of two storeys having generally a roof of flag,s:ones. Business appeared brisk, and everyone talked or shouted in Irish, Not one word of English was to be heard in that Connacht town. Presently a woman standing by a booth laden with red and white flannels met 11i5 eyes. "Buy some flannel, young man" she sa-d. "lit will keep the cold out of you, and th-e W111""<:' on us." "A thousand thanks, good woman," he answered. ..Itás great fionnel, I see, and may luck succeed with you. But that's not my trade to-day. I am looking for geese. ~, "Geese? If that's what you are asking, here's rna Sean O'Loclain, with a flock just off the oat-field." She pointed to an old woman who, with a: small boy, stocd in charge of some geese close to the booth. The aid woman reared and clutched his cloak. "Is it hzid geese you want young rnan ?" sbe said. "Yes : wi.d ones" he answered. ".Oh,' the devil mend you. Yv hcre willi you get those 7". "I heard I would meet one here to- day I I in the market who caught them." ,/ "You are a stranger here, I think, Is it -beck from :."\ephin you come?" "1 have CO!lJe [rom County Calway, bnt my father was a )'109.yo man. I run buy- ,

smile now and then as the market people greeted h,:m. "There he is," exclaimed both women, "Tha.t's :\Iac:YIahon of Annagh, Look! but he has the bullocks in fine sha.pe." The young man, turning round, faced the carriage, and regarded its occupant with a cool and careless air, It moved slowly, the crowd parting before it with manifest respect, Suddenly ita owner's eye met his, and, doffing his hat, he went towards the door, "I am told, sir," he said suavely, keeping; pace with the carriage; " you have some' wild geese to sell." The man fixed a swift, steely glance upon his face, and his bushy eyebrow'S met. 1"Tb.i.s is n;ol: the )place, young man, where I .trade," he answered stiffly. "I will speak to you at the' brdge of Clochar. " "And that bridge sir?"-_ ".15 half a mile from this town, straight down the road." , The young man bowed and drew back, Curious eyes 'were bent upon him, and here and there people pointed to him and spoke together. Presently a lean-faced, well-dressed man nudged his arm. "Have you seen the 'brave boys hurling down on the field outside the town 7" he said. The young man heard the question with an indifferent air. "If I have time I will look at them," he replied. "I can swing the oaman myself. He walked on, moving slowly through the crowd till he reached the end of the street, There were few people here 3.'Dd the last houses, miserable hovels, stood close to the dark, bare fields from which pá.)t~ toes had 'oe-en dug a few weeks before. The road ran through .a plain, . h wit a long grey range of hill'S to the west. Cattle grazed en fields where clumps of faded ragworth grew, or ventured into dykes to seek better grass. A gloomy December 5];:3' hung oyer the scene.

As the young Ulan asked! the question there was a stir in the crowd about Irim ; a large coach, was making Its way through the street, drawn by four oxen. _A, , coat - of - anilS was painted on the panel of the door, and the body of the c-rri:15[e hung upon Ieat her bands ; there was glass in frcnt as well as at the sdes, so :Jlat the occupant was clearly visible.

SATURDAY, JUNE 'B', 1914,

IRISH VOLUNTEER carriage and bullocks {tpproaching; the latcer were coming at a steady trot, reo sponding tp the long lash of the coachman on the box. As the equipage reached the bridge it stopped. "Come in, sir," said Mac~aho~ of Armagh, opening one of the doors, The young man slipped off the wall and entered, "I hope you will like my horses," said MacMahoa. "I am not allowed to own one worth more than five pounds, so I cr ainuny cattle to draw me. Ycnr name ;8 Lacy?" "My name is Lacy," was tb,e answer. "And your rank?" "\Vhat you may judge from my appearance." "A jobber .01' trader. But you don't 1001:: it. \Yhat clothes have you under that cloak?" The y.oung man flung back one side of the cloak. His coat was 11 dark green fir.e cloth slashed with silk and handsomely braided. There was fine lace at hls throat.

A Fine Meeting, ----<>--

A very largely attended meeting of the people of the Ravensdale aud Bal lyrna, scanlan dstricts of Xorth Louth was held at Jenkinstown on Sunday week for the purpose of inaugurating a Corps of the. Irish Volunteers. Contingents were pre. sent from COOley aud Carlingford, and a band from Dundalk. The local U I L, A 0 H, and I N F co-operated in the organisation of the meeting. Dr. R, M, Blake, J.P., presided, and the Headquar. tel'S I'rovisional Committee was represented by Xlr. T'. H. Pearse. Among th.ose pre. sent were ~.ressrs -Ianies Connollj-, J P; J H :H'Ardle, J' 1', Co.C.; P O'Connell, Co.C.; James Hughes, Co. President, A 0 E, Dundalk; Patk Rice, J P, Dun. dalk , J J :lJartin, do; James o 'Hanlon , do. Speeches were delivered by the Chairman, :\lr lI1'Ardle, ?-Ir James Con. nolly and lUr. Pearse. :lIr. Pearss said that the men of this gen,erationá were at last resuming contact with the virile r;enerations of Ireland, lly taking arms they sho\\'ed that they realised, as one of their conquerors had said, that Ire. laud was Il. country worth fighting for. Referring t~ the Ulster question ~fr Pearse pointed to the recent incident at Ennis. killen, when the 1'ational and the LIster Volunteers exchanged m iltary courtesies, as if lustrativs of the spirit of mutual respect ana tolerance which should exist between the two forces. With regard to the telegram recently sent by the Derry Nationa l Yolunteers to Mr. Joseph Devlin its actual wording negatived the report o:iginaliy published ihct the Irish Volun, teers of Derry had offered to co- operate with the Government, nii l.tary and police forces in c'ocrcing the Unionists of ulster. Such a' task was not a task for the Irish Volunteers, wh o existed, not to coerce any body of Irishmen, but to defend their own rights, and the common rights of Irish. men against foreign aggression. He hated to think of the coercion of ulster, end if there was any coercon to be done it wc u ld have to be done by England's own ar my and police, The presence ofaXational Volunteer Force in Ireland meant that the time was coming to an end when Englishmen de. tennined the fate of Ireland in accordance with the exigencies of English party polio '.lco. The Ulster and the National Volunteers had this much in common that both denied England's Tight to decide their destinies. J Ie was opposed to the dismcnibernient of Ireland, and maintained that UK Ora113enlen themselves did not want it. He thcught th it there was the germ of, at a uy rate, an ad interim settlement in the proposal of ~Ir. Alec. '..,:;lson to give Ulster an administrative counciJ..-ful1 ad. minstrative freedom under an 'Irish I'arlie.ruent which should have full legislative power. Could not Nationalist Ireland enter into negotiations ,\,ith the ::\ortllEast, and could not Ihe two Irish parties. without reference to English state~men at all, settle between themseh-es what was, after :t1l, ;:m Irish probicm? ,,'hy must Irishmcn ah.,-aJ5 negotiate ",i:h one al10ther through. Hdish I1Hn;sters? Nationalist Ireland, with heT rapidiy.organisir:g \'01untcer Force, was now in :t position to negoti,ate with the Korth,East on equal terms.

It is for such an opportunity as' this we have been watching for years-an opportunity to bring the language out of the classrooms into Irsh life.

The Irish Volunteers have been termed "to secure and maintain the rights and liberties common to aU the people vf 116land, without distinction of creed, cJ&SS, or !politics." The only declaration .a n.s n i.E asked to make on joini rg the orgauisa tion is that he is willing to give his será vices towards such a laudable and cornmonsense object as maintaining the rights and liberties of the Irish 'People, One of the rights which the Irish nation inher-I ently possess-c-the right to self-government, and many of the liberties won for \1>5 by the blood of our forefathers have been threatened openly and defiantly by OM of the great English political parties. The. .onward march of the Irish nation is to be chocked, and checked by lorce. The la:'N of the dragoon is to supersede the law of tho people of this Island. The cavalry officer is to decide wnat Liberties "we shall or &!J.aU not ha"e. It is but e. step from a military terrorism to the vile accornpanim"!!,,, of that terrorism-the pitch cap and W<l gbbet and the ro.ck! Meet Force by Force, The r-eally serious question Ior the lri::_h people ill: Are they goinág to submit tamely to coercion? Are they going to make no movement to make such coercion impossible by meeting force with force 7 It is said, perhaps, that the deciding Iactor in a struggle for right and freedom should 'be force.; but that it is so is the fact, and it is not the Irish :people whc have made it so but their enemies.

During the past few weeks the tramp of trusty stalwart Gaels is to be heard on the gren hills of Oarbery in the ranks of the Irish Volunteers. Only a short time started by Mr. Florence MacCarthy and Michael O'Beaglaoich, a young Gael with plenty of fighting blood, they are making steady progress.

THE IRISH VOLUNTEER

An Irish Army Scheme. CONTI~l'ED

FROl[ PAGE 10.

iIIl:Upe much da..,nage could be d-one to I onr ~a board towns, ..... rr.. cgements should be made to.. arm and include in the Irish Volunteer Army our people now beyond the seas, who m~.yjoin us in time of war. This co-operation should include naval forces as well 1<8 land forces. It is well known that large numbers of German snbjecta employed in the British Isles axe trained soldiers, and that in case of war with Germany, these men are organised and have arms ready to assist the German Army to land. The Ulster Volunteers have a very much larger number of rifles than they actually require, and Sir Edward Carson's threat that if he were "deserled" by Imperial Parliament he would seek assi-stance from ,. Foreign Power, taken together with his periodical visits to Germany and the declaration of the Kaiser that he would 110t assist Ulster, has been taken to mean that a large number of German officers and will join the 'Cisler Volunteers in case of civil war. These German officers are conspicuous in many parts of Ireland at thie moment. It lll'Ust be remembered that a German Iorce estimated at 5,000 officers and men, joined President Kruger's Army in 1899-and it is more than probable that this unoffical course may be adopted again in the war which Germany is waging to supplant British commerce all over the world and destroy our Empire. It is certain that in case of civil war, we shall have to oppose a force in Ulster and also forces landed at secluded points on our coast line-either for the purpose of operation inland or for raids to destroy our stores-s-and that we shall have to deal with ill much larger force than what is now known as the Ulster Volunteers. For these reasons I have referred to our diangers as being not only within Ireland but also from invasion. 'In view of recent events at the Curragh, and the small force of British regular troops in Ireland, it is apparen t that the safety of Ireland: depends on her own N ational effort, .and hence the five million at llO.tIle should co-operate and secure and

"IRISH

FREEDOM"

5 Fmdlater Place, Dublin ~

welcome the co-operation of the twenty mil lcn Irishmen who are abroad. For the above reasons I urgently recommend the enlistment and organisation of an Irish :\aval Volunteer Force. Every town should have its town guard of Volunteers, over 35 years of age, who are not required to take the field. There should be a local defenoe scheme, including entrenchments, capable of oonstruction in twenty-four hours, under the direction df an officer of "Engineers, The )lay.or or Chief Magistrate becomes (he town Commandant, The duties of the town guard include: (1) The defence of the place-i-rpassive). () The defence of the district by mounted men--(active). (3) To preserve all communications, rail, telegraph, etc. (4) To collect supplies and munitions required for the active army in the field. These town guards form the major por. tion of the defensive part of the Volunteer Army. They should be carefully organised and should be trained to act in close co-operatron in all matters, The town guards of seaport towns or towns near the coast should include hamlets and cottagers along the coast for tbe purpose of coast-guards, A system of close co-operation should be established between these coast town guards, and the naval forces when estabIished, Oertain fixed defences should be selected and fully organised'; local working parties should! be prepared 10 erect these defences in certain localities, which should be confidenn'al. These defences form "point d'appise" or ra1Jy points an pivots of manoeuvre for the active army in the field. ESTDIATED MILITARY BUDGtT, However suitable these recommendations may be to the requirements of the country a great deal must depend <on the burden which they will impose upon its financial resources. .1 have, therefore, calculated what the annual cost of the Irish Volunteer Forces would be when all the proposals have reached fruition and would be in full working order. N aturally, during the transit'on period the cost of the force would be less than this forecast, but it must be remembered that a considerable amount of nonrecurring expenditure in the shape of guns and munitions of war should be obtained during this transition period, the upkeep of which has been fully allowed in my estimate. The Staff Corps, so dmportant to raise without delay, composed of 350 officers at the rates of pay that I have suggested, amounts to a total annual cost of £142,000, There will be in .addition the cost of the permanent services and the 400 warrant officers and: non-commissioned officers reg_uired in the counties for drilling and training purposes. These, under the new rates, will amount to £234,000, making a total of £376,000. If .th~ policy of, extending :he British Territorial system to Irelnnd 1S adopted, which would not '~"~':';'f \!-lC cause of :" ational Irelqnd cf 0:.= ,::~ -; :c-~s of her sons in time of wa. ;,. ; .. :,.: .. nal danger, then this cost would ialJ c:; ,he Imperial Exchequer. I think I am ri<~ht in stating that permanent forces have to receive the sanction and are paid by Imperial Parliament. The pay of the Volunteer Force has been estimated on the training periods proposed in my paper, and i:t calculated as follows';.

The other items of the estimate work out at almost the same as in the fourth year-except that without increased training more gun and small arm ammunition will be required, and I hare, therefore, added £44,000 to that estimate, By estimating £100,000 for miscellaneous a: margin of safety has, 1 think, been allowed. If, therefore, the Irish Volunteer Army becomes a national and permanent institution , the total cost may .be taken at £1,884,000, as below: Summary of annual cost wJlen 200,000 men have been raised : £ .:Itaff C-orps 142,000 "~ermanent Services 234,000 'Pay Allowances and Camp Expenditure of troops 547,000 :Military College 15,000 Home Instruction of Volunteer off:ce~s "Recruit Training, including all stores ... 161,000 *Reserve~ (Rifle Clubs, etc.j ..' . 126,000 Fixed Defences and Town Guards 40,000 Field Arti llery-e-Machine guns, etc. 60,000 Small Arms (Rifles) 85,000 Ammunition, gun, and S Arms .. , 186,000 General Equipment 84,0.00 100,00() Miscellaneous New Works, buildings, rent, 150,000 repairs and maintenance

Loud in our ears sounds the booming of cannon, ¥ Haunting us yet Irom that dream of the past, When the Volunteers met at the ford of Dungannon, And Ulster with Munster united at last. When the glint r,f their swords through the highways of Dublin . Were turned 'gainst the enemy's treacherous snare, And their glorious definace flung back the

alliance That had made of our country a den of despair. Yet while back to ns now comes that vision of splendour, No longer the dream can we cherish uns~en, But join in the ranks where alone we can render A sen-icc of honour and love to our queen, . Fear not to fight foár hel, vrin back your right for her, Guns can alone make the enemy sway: Come in your thousands then, braveá hearted Irishmen, GiYe of ;I'our best for your country to. day. \'ot again 'Clster, nor Leinster, nor Conn~ught, But 'gain~i tha.t land of intolerant power Where GOY&!lment schemIng with trea. cht!tS teeming, Has wea.kly betrayed us in victory's hour.
