TO THE HONEST .MEN OF

Mr REDlvlOND'S VO·LUNTEERS. I addres.<; you as fello,"",·soldiers of Ire'- have often -led the ·Irish ,p eople into error the oountry.

HlIld! because I know your hearts are for and brong·ht disaster on Ireland . . Let me place '!;Ome f.acts la nd Essenti::Ll unity is unity of principle, unity 'Opini<lns" before you . You follow . Mr. J: {J.:l what Iris.h ' Nationality and Irish free·E.. Redmond for certai;n reaSIOrrs: One dom mean . It cannot be a machine-made i!\ bec,a use ' 'M r. Redmond is "The Leader . product, as it so often 'now is, unfo·rt-unof :he ' Irish Race." He is the Chairman 3J:ely, Harmful di ssension is dissension of. th~ Irish Parli,'l.mentary :P arty, 'and the on personal, party, or sectional lines: disParty · are the elected :representativcs ' of sension 'w hich takes pLa-ce fro:n followini5 the- majority of the Irish people.

They have and against factio·n ism.

H e called in not ~en asked to accept it. The delegates the N' ormans to se!t~e the were given no powers to accept it, but

they have taken the power into their own hands. ~n the matter of H'om'e Rule Mr. Redm<lnCL .and his Party have failed to carry 'Out the directi'Ons of the Irish people and have exceeded the powers given them. That is a . v~y plain, statement .of fact that no side arg·urnents can sh.:tke.

But, you are satisfied they did their best, so 'l et it ·he.

You follow Mr. Redmond because you have been told he is playing the game" ; a game 0.£ diplomacy with England. You have Been told-I know I have been-that Mr. Redmpnd does not want Irishmen to· join the English Army, that his appeals to us to, join are only " bluff.'?

To a plain man this bluff seems very like dishonesty and to a conscientious man a dishones't leader is . abhorrent, ,e ven when the dishonesty is the recognised one of 'Politicians called "pLaying the game," Let me put it to you: Foran Irish Nationalist to joi,1. in sing'i ug God Save the King; to sho.ut for the sake of Tory applause -God Save England; to fly the Union Jack~!he symbol of .the Union and Unionism- over I your house; to glory in the deeds of t h.e 'Redcoats; \0 appea~ for r ecruits for Eng.land's Army, is it not going beyond

You ;fo.Jl.ow Mr. Redmond for the sake of unity .

At this moment Manus the .Scholar and twq of. his boys, who had hea:rd :the bug1e of O'Rorke ' as j~h :')y were pulling their ' CUIT.:J.chs Ior home, drew near the shore.

He shoved the light vessel off and begm to TOW a~ross thestICetch. of water lying between the shore and :.he islet. " Why did :'-0,11 not let me le~d V\Thite 3tar?" ask-e<1Bride, "tbe beautiful creature ! I sh:)Uld' h'1 ve ' liked to hold his

Th~ light of the new moon lay taint a.nd tre:nbling on th·e 1:0'·C;Y l:lke, stretching 'a milky way of pearly radi'lnce out ·to the isl~ shore, along which the currach danced like a foam-belL Bride sat still before her hero in sw~t dreamful silence, her whi':e h .'l.nds folded in her lap, ber -long lashes drooping, the moonlight shining- on her still, lovely, nun like face and wreaths of silken hair, Very ·still she sat" hardly breathing, ·wondering what he h;ad to say to her-to tell herand half fearing, she knew not what-; yet t'0:) deeply happy in his presenc.e t o realise t:b.a.t sorrow or ill could be near her while he was n ear.

In fra.ctional form, thus : 1-63360, meaning that one inch o n the map is equal to 63360 inches of -'Iound ; or 3. A line may be r uled, - and d ivided into equal pouts, each part r ep resenting a mile or fraction of a mile, and numbered 'a ccordi ngly.
