as ' ;they undoubtedly are, a.garl}st rec~uitin g , then the last · pretences of constitu· tional Government should' ensure that any recru~ts from Ire41nd are the fr~e gifts of a free people, as ¥r Asquith sarcastically described thc offer of Irish aid foc the The meanest ·and most malevolent enemy of Irish nationality h~ ever been the London Times and The Times, knowing as it does Mr. Redmond's influence in Ireland, appreciates hi~ difficulties. The Times knows that Mr. Redmond, -like every other Irish leader, carried the country with him in spit~ of the fact that no depths of. infamy were left unplum1:·ed :by The 1)mes and jour. --<>nals like it to thwart his leadership. Years of malignity, in which the Pigott The great question at issue ·b etween the forge ries were merely cliaracteristic inci· two ibodies of Volunteers in Irelaild is dentals, failed to wean Ireland from the whether Ireland s.hould send fur'..her re- leadership of Mr. Redmond and his preoruits to t!:le British.

From'the Outpost Recruiting in Ireland.

moreo\'er is predominantly ·agricultUral, has been drained : illy emigration of men of a military age, and aheady in. proportion to its population, furnishes 'the Reguiar Ar~Y' with more soldiers than ' any other part of the kin.gdom. The field left ovel.' for Mr. Redmond is therefore both stubborn , and restricted, th-e more so as the Hierarchy has not yet seen fit to bless his laho~rs.'! All this we have pointed out repeatedly; that IreLand ' has been made a purely agricultural countn'in English trade interests, and misgov~ ment has drained it of the men oi a military ago/ and forced, proportionately, more of its population into the Regular Army tha.n a.'1Y other part of the British Empire. Englj~h misgo.v ernment, for wh ich fhe Timt's always stood, accom. plished all these in England's interest, and if these facts milit:l.te against England to.:d3Y it is merely a. pr·oof that you can· not L,,,'e your loaf and eat it. ~

Enlist or Else-! Of course The Times makes i~ clear that the number of recruits from Ireland large of small does . not really matter. All th at The Times was thinking of when delivering itself of ~his b~llowing blunder was the future relationship be· tweea Irela.nd and England,. and it makes it clear that it wifl be heartily sorry if there is .any alienation of sym. p.athy fr om Ireland as a. result of the fai iure to fulfil th e recruiting expectations wh:oh they say the Irish leaderS led the Go,e,nment to expec ~ ·of them. Sooner than see 'Home Rule in danger they ask the Government to suppress pr:acticaIiy, every journal in Ireland unbought by Du·b li;J. C2.stIe. And for what i s of "no

military importance" they ask the Government to take steps beside which the action of past Governments, acting on The Time.~' advice, and oreating endless trouble for i~self and Ireland, were model s . of easy.geing tolerance. It is '~b:at-1he ',advice . is ;. int ended rather towards political .capital for ~he Tories than as a sane contribution to thlt policy of the preo;ent governmenta.l office holders and to precipitate a misis, beside which past unheavals in Ireland were iniignificant. . ~~

The Need of Men. But we agree with the cuticle in that the number of recruits \vh kh Ireland will offer as a s.a rofice i, no·t at present of prime military importance. For at the preS"J1t moment there are t ens of thousands of troops in Ireland, m'iny of them . so~cliers. .

The splendid loyal:y. of &'}uth Africa has been the theme of every English lea.. der.writer, and ' indeed the population of the whole Continent is re!!:m:!ed as ready to die for the Empire.

" The price demanded o;f l\tIr. Redmond by the honest Nati-onalist is a heavy one -nothing less than an official and open hauling , down of the Union Jack which no,w fioats ,over the Irish Leader's resid· ence, .and ·a public repUdiation of his recruiting campaign: Will Mr.. 'R edmond ·agree to this to save West Belfast?" But Mr. Redmond will do something more. He wilI' inaugurate Sunday par· ~. des, and thus put football hefNe fight.

But 'his squl was u'p lifted in~han~ to God ' .And sang its triump.h song And he trampled on pain and thlxst ,a.ud: death As his soul was' borne ' al6:n~.

, , The recruiting ant.ics associated \~-ith ·the new Voiunteers h.a-s been in a measure productive of much good not only in IrelancJ: lYut in A.-nerica I?lso.

Before England went to \Va:-, Ireland, in the opinion of mcst of these g·entlemen. had no cause to fight for; and the Irish people, save only a few D.L 's, were ;t race of .ca',tle maimera and ,; avages , and :f they were not worse t-han the Germans are no w stated t o be. it was bec;tusc the:r opportunities were limite d: But the men o.f Ireland keep cn training and arming, znd they laugh a t ihe new p;J.~riotism by which an Irishman is a pa triot when he fights for Eng:;tnd or Belgium or France, 0: any country eJ:G.e pt !re~and. It was natu;':2.1 that a move:nent com:ng into 'existence as the 'Vol'unteers did, in har:nony with the national senti· ment and national aspirations, shol.lld sl;rvive any attempt upon its ex:stence in the interests of mere politics, and its firm attitude on the question of sending soldiers to fight abroad is just as nat.urally en· aoned by th.e Irish people as a' whole. In America, ,t oo, the re is no ·d:vision amongst Irishmen as ·. to the dutY ' of the Volunteers in the present crisis, and from eyery journal and every representative Ir:shman the advice is: Volunteer for Ireland.

I'LL STAY AT HOME, DEAR LAND,

The l,eader of the I rish Party no doubt knew that a section of Irishmen would ];lever accept , the ~enets of his new creed but he never e),;peoted the split his heresy has caused. .

--<:>-Dy DR. R. D~rYER JOYCE. The coat i~ rou:;;h tha~ ' covers me; My hands ",re P.AI'c!' as horn; The great ones mock my poverty, And lo ok on me with scorn. And sneer; and sa.y, I'll sail aw.3YA wretch obs(;ure and banned! No; ron be true for life to you, And stay at ho.'11e" dear land!

I have a wife as .summer bright My loving Eithlin ban; A little son with locks of light, And. smiles like May.daY'B ~awn; And ooukl I leave them here to grieve And seek some foreign strand? No; riu be true to them and you .Apd stay at home, dc~ar land!

But thO'lE;h they may have been for the moment misled they have moch intelli. gence ar!d as 'm uch opportunity of ltnow· ing tile .right path a s ,Yon have, men of the Irish Volunteers.
