" Out of Evil. "

The crisis which the Volunteer movement has just gone through will do good. A clear issue is now before every unit of the movement, which no amount of verbal tdickery can obscure. lYe have got back to the old definition of K ationality and loyalty, and every Volunteer will ask himself "Do I stand for Ireland or for the British Empir a >" "Do I stand for the principles of Tone, Emmet, Mitchel, Or for the principles of those who would un i;e us with England ?" It is a plain question ~nd the traditional Xaticnality of ireland will provide the answer. .]'\0 amount of sill:' talk about small nationa lities needing our help. can modify which is as clear :~_eda'yPOS,~~onit bas ever been ln our historv ; it is simply-On -,,-h;ch side+-Ir cland or ),ngland?

A Good Conscience.

No Reason to Quarrel. No. Marking Time. There is rio use in bitterness for what has' taken place. ] t is still a q L1 escion of ideals nnd policies, and saying harsh things will not change either the one or the other. There is room for regret certainly that the Volunteer movement w~s nee permitted to develop along its original lines, and then a part altogether from any political

The l:'lk~s.t .a.rgument in favour of groxelling is that the war is 2, war for religion, and this argument is addresse.j to Ireland, . and to Ireland only. Whose religion is attacked? Is it the religion of President Poincare or of the Czar or of King George? Whose religion is the assailant, the religion of the Kaiser or of the Austrian Emperor? How are we to excuse the silence of the Pope arid of our pastors, when it is left to zealous laymen co instruct us in our duty to religion?

M::l11'Y Volunteers are probably even yet divided between allegiance to the founders of the movement and Mr Redmond's nominees, The story is now being circulated that there is no real desire on the part of the IIome Rule iH P's to get Irishmen into the English army. In Dublin the seeders are openly protesting that they ",'ill not enlist. The' following advertisemect , culled from the evening' edition 0:1 Tse Freeman's Journal ought to dispel all doubts.

KOW IS YOUR TDIE-ROLJ .. UP. In my own Company, where a secession took place, Capt. Miller, at present aervjog in the 9th llottialion of the Dublin Fusiliers, arrived in mufti and formed the seceders into a bogus Company with what object time will tell. No doubt in other parts of the country similar influences are at' work to convert the issue into a contest beween John lWacXeill and John Redmond. Then, the men being weakened by division, it is reckoned they will be an easy prey to the Carricks and Millers, whose former connection with the Irish Volunteers will be used to obtain recruits for ~he English army. Before the infamous Mansion House meeting it had been industriously whispered about that whatever Redmond might be. forced openly to do Dillon and Devi.in, would 'be straight. 10 this way criticism was postponed. The Mansion House meeting cleared the air. That meeting showed that a deep-laid plot existed 'for the purpose of entrapping the Volunteers, into a. Heip-the-Empire Leag~1e, Many J members of tile A 0 II, for instance, be-! lieve4 tha; Nugent was straight. He would not turn All-for-Englander.

'\\"e submit that ;tt a time of crisis like the present it is the duty of the Volunteers to pal'! company with those 'Who would lead them en the broad road to National destruction.

In Dublin the Volunteers have almost unanimously declared for the original committee until such time as they will have an opportunity of electing an Executive by their own votes. In this connection it may be interesting to compare the basis of the Irish Volunteer Convention on Sunday, the '2':;th October, and the rival meeting announced to be called (sometime) by the alleged National Committee. In the former Convention, as already announced, every affiliated Company standing for Ireland all the time will ham one delegate; and these dele. gates, together with the existing Provisional Committee wi ll compose the CODverrtion. At' Mr Redmond's Convention the delegates will be. kept in check by eighty ll1le:mhersof: Parliament, who will cast a solid vote against any proposal to maintain :ll,e mtegrity and inde~nde:ce of those \ oluntoers w110 may be represen. ted there,

The Split.

2i'ational Club, Belfast, 28th September, 1914.

Sir-As I have been publicly identified the policy of Mr John Redmond, perhaps you wi ll allow an expression of epiriion on his recent action in connection "With the Irish Xational Volunteers. :l.ir Redmond, it seems to me, had two &bjects in desiring to obt~ln'" control of 'rb'e movement. IIe saw in it a power which dhivcd its :£orce from all sections of the Irish people (of course excluding ,tile- Unionists), and that the Volunteers 'wuld boast of a. comprehension of opi'Nion, political and otherwise, which the .Urrited Irish League diu 110t enjoy. :NIr Redmond, therefore, took what steps "seemed to him advis~ble to capture this power: Having obtained n.ore or less no':!!ninal control of the movement (which, liJ the way, was a movement in every re"sp.ec.t different from n:s. settled policy), hOl decided to mould it to his own design. 'And as a far-seeing sia.esmcn he appreciated that the law under, the Home Rule Act, jf that Act ever should become operative, would strictly forbid the Prime Mini;,"ter of a: Dublin Parliament to have any 'armed force under his control. It became necessary therefore for him 'f&' I.OOt out the originators of the nrovernent (who were determined to obtain proper rifles and .amrnunition} and

ment.

But what I desire to make clear is this. That the Volunteers at their Comp:my meetings were )10t faced with a clear issue. for or against recruiting. They were faced ,,\,ilh en issue which lay beneath th e superficality of the srtuation, a question of whether the Volunteers were to be genuine s Voluntcers, armed with proper rifles, and with a clean and open policy, or whethei.: they were to become a merely harmless, and, more or less, futile Society, which could be used for purely party purposes at the d ictation of the followers of Mr Redmond in the far-off 'Irish House -of COmJl10ns. The men who stn rt ed the Volunteers in re-organise the Irish VOlull:eer~ as a Ireland d~sired a: -:\ational Army, ernbrac: ba1"l'llr.essbody of men who could be re-, ing an shades of POhtlCS, which would ed upon to look pretty on parade, and teach men discipline, punctuality, how to who could march nicely as such people hold up átheir heads, and wear clean colas the Grenadiers or Rechabites, lars. 1 give Mr Redmond credit Icr being an Mr Redmond desires a purely party exceedingly clever man, ami he has at- .2rmy armed with popáguns. And -in obtempted to achieve two things by his re- taining bis desire through the split now cent action. The first is 1he destruction effected in the Irish Xaticnal Volunteers, of the Volunteer movement as originally he has appeared before the British public constituted, and the second is the utilisa- as a loyalist and a choir leader to sing tion of this act to ohtai n British appro- the "National arrrhem ." It is only just Tal of his loyalty and love of the British that the Unionist Party and the British arrnv. people in general should appreciate the Had Mr Redmond not spoken from the motives which led :'Ir Redmond to clothe Mansion Honse platform beside Mr. Asquith and appealed for recruits for an himself in the Union Jack.
