The outstandiug lesson of the present Enropean conflict is the importance of ,:he small , free nation, Belgium with its, compared to Ireland, diminutive territorv, was a f a.r more effective check to the (;er, man troops than the combined forces of France and Engl'and has been. The Hel, gian soldier is a better soldier thnn the English h i reling or the French conscript, perhar s because in the two latter ccuntries the cosmopolitan ism. of wealth nnr] the softness of luxury has sapped the foundations of manhood, and the finer feelings of patriot.sm have been lost in po!i. tical intri.'1;11~. And if Belgium, unlike the Qi',her sma ll nations bordering the 'belli, gercnts. has suffered so heavily in the war, it should bring home to us in Ire, land that we are more likely to be losers than gainers by making entanglinr- al liances \\ i:h any big nation, no'mrutter how powerful it may seem.

If BeI6i~n',; foreign rel.u ions did not compel her to refuse a ri~ht of way to Germany she would have been spared much, and she would not have as bitter reason to com, plain of the fruits of the indifference or incompetence of France .and England to help her in a struggle which was fn nd amentally theirs.

Volurstee-s in their own interest through, out Ireland are requested not to .purchnsa uniforms ?r equipment. of any kind with. out applying to the Uniform Committee rut Headuarters, 41 Kildare Street, Dublin, for guidance, as .a- quantity of the equipment 0.0 the market at present is useless.
