¥\:;ain a,.."I, again we pointed out that th . only weapon' of freedom is the rifle. Ireland as a whole recognised that fact, and the .inception of the Volunteers was the nations etnthod of achievink freedom through the rifle. Whether the resources of constitutionalism bad failed or not, the 1(,'!.J~:'sof the constitutional iarty swung into Iine after some delay and acquiesced in the formation of the movement. Later :his acquiescence in a state of affairs already existmg 'Dec:l.me active, and the manhood of Ireland was urged to at once joiu in. the great military movement that WClS sweeping Ireland from sea to sea. It is nonsense to pretend that this buge rpij-j:~r)' organisation grew up for any other purpose than to rid us of our ancient enemy ,to' allow us to develop own line", free from alien i nt",;'fen:,n<:e, J'\(J foreign complication can bet rid of the fact that the reason that c':\.::cd the 'l olunteers into existence is as pctcnt a reason to-day 'it it has been at any time.

Ireland along the path to freedom. This is a foolish and a ~2ngewm; doctrine to hold, and already ~t has led to trouble that may at any moment 'become apparent in a new direction, The man who beá lievcs that in fighting quafities the descendants of the best soldiers of the world are deficient, and that of all the white nations the Ir isbman alone is unfit to bear arms to defend ~l he holds dear, should never have gI~e:rrhis sanction to the movememo nut the great major ity of the Trish people were and ere of a different opiThey belie\'e that what the Belgian rucn. has done yesterday the Irishman could do and do better to-morrow, and that the on lv qucg.~ion to be considered is the qucsion of hew best to drill, arm and equip lrel':md's army. Already much of the dril!ing has been done, and there is no reason why tn,e arming should not be done ,,:,;0, and doue immediately.

fanned so cunningly that the operators /., arc unseen; but at heart Ireland IS sound, and the Volunteer movement will solidify the councry into an irresistible unit before which the opposition' to our Iegitimate demands will be futile,

'With one-third of the opportunities of the regulars, the Irish Volunteers would hold Ireland against any Power in Europe, .provided the requisite arms were placed in their hands. They are capable of being made one (JI the finest defence forces in the world, and they will become such a force in a short time, Elementary drill, should be learned before now, and thel~ minds of the men ooncentrated upon field practice and rifle shooting. These are the two elements that have really a decisive It is time for plain speaking, The value, and :toth should be engaged in Irishman who tries diplomacy against Enguntil the highest possible efficiency has land is losing his time, England has ~b.e been obtained, methods of diplomacy ingrained into her statesmen and all the diplomatic channels at her command, }~ngJish diplomacy 'Ve h.rve received very rnnny inquiries is tr iurnpa ant in the Irish Press at 'the present moment and every lever that could cs to (he possibi lity of procuring Arneri. tu rn pu')lic opinion from the side of lire. can officers as instructcrs, and there does land is used freely; Cold ,is her weapon noz seem any reason why they should notl more thuu lend , anrl we must not choose be forthcoming.

Surprise is so important in out-flanking movements that every advantage should he taken of the ground to conceal the advancing troops, and the scouts should be unusually careful/to keep out of sight.

The main object of the antnck is to attain supcriority of fire by estahl isb ing the strongest possible firing line on good firc-posirons. \"ithin decisive range of each successive objective to be captured, This object is achieved by gaining ground with a few men, and gradually reinforcing them until the firing Iine attains the maximum density of one rifle per yard" When this movement has heen successfully carried out, and tl~e enemy giyes ground. .a fun her advance cannot be ,ma,;je h~' the whole firing line, The The Orders for the Attack process of attack should be repeated will usually be given when the troops are against the next objective, as from a fresh in the position of assembly ; but sometimes starting point, scouts being sent forward wJi~n 'they are in column, of route.

Troops engaged in rh i-, attack must be prepared to convert their demonstrations into '3. real attack as soon as th.e right moment arrives. Sudden outbursts of fire at different points and thÇ use of machine guns will SCT\'e to givtJ effect to demonstrations.
