NOTES

THE IRISH VOLUNTEER recent arts of English statesmanship . . On the contrary, the.y have acqui~ed new grounds for indignation and · distrust. Two Parliamentary elections have taken place recently in the .Irish capital. In one of these, one-third of the voters went to the poll without enthusiasm for Mr. Redmond's candidate. That was several months a.go . Since then, the situation has continued to develop. The second Dublin election came o:ff. last week. There were three candidates. Each of them sought to be elected as a membe·r of the Irish Party. Two of them, Alderman Byrne and Alderman Farrell, had, however, taken a prominent part in opposing the Government's policy o·f repression towards the Irish Volunteers. The third candidate, The O'Mahony, was once a highly-esteemed member of Parnell's pa.r ty. For some months past, he. has again become· prominent as a thorough . adherept of Mr. Redmond and of the doctrine that the. war is Ireland's supreme interest to which all her other interests must be subordinated. Besides thus making his programme absolutely at one with Mr. Redmond's, The O'Mahony was able to command the support of the Dublin Unionist Press, in which every Unionist voter in the constituency was exhorted to· vote for him. His poll thus represented both Unionism and the extent of Nationalism that has been fully, even if only for the time, won over by Mr. Asquith's recent statesmanship. Only a minority of the electors went to the poll. The result is significant: Byrne, 2,298; The O'Mahony, 913; F arrell, 677. * * * This is the fourth election in Nationalist constituencies since the Liberals joined the anti-constitutional combination against Mr. Redmond. In one of the four Mr. '.Redmond's candidate was defea.t ed. In the second Mr. Redmond's candidate was elected, but polled only a third of the voters . In the ·third and fourth it was found prudent to avoid proclaiming the support ·of the Irish Party or its leaders for any of t-h e candidates before the voting. The meaning of all this should be plain' enough to Mr. Bir. rell. The Irish electorate is not going to facilitate the backsliders by breaking the Irish Party into fragments: Even the King's County electors, who rejected Mr. Redmond's candidate, insist upon having their chosen representative accepted by the Irish Party. , But the electors have made it plain in every election that tliey take no satisfaction in the plight to which the Irish Party has been reduced by the Liberal and, Unionist combination . The leading feature of the recent Dublin election was the disgustto put it gently-of the electorate with the policy of using the Imperial crisis and the Defence of the Realm Act as political factors for party purposes in Ireland. 0

[TRANSLATION.] The Central Executive of the Irish Volunteers met at Headquarters on Wednesday evening, 29th September, Mr. Sean MacDermott in the chair. R eports dealing with Organisation, Training, Arming, and Finance were submitted . On the question of Arming, a discussion took pl~ce as to the sa.fekeeping of · arms, and the Executive un animously reiterated its previous decisions that all Volunteers must take adequate steps for . the safekeeping of their rifles, and that it is the duty of a Volunteer in final resort to lose his life rather than suffer himself to be drsarmed . Reports were handed in by Commandant P . H. Pearse, Director of Organisation, as to the review of . the Wexford Brigade at Enniscorthy on Sunday, 26th September; by Vice~Comma:b.dant Fitzgibbon, Director of Recruiting, as to the successful meeting at Bray; and by Vice- · Cam.mandant Beasley as to the imporlal).t conference of represen.tati ves of Co . Louth Companies . at' Dundafa on the same date, at which he represented the Executive. All three r eports were considered very satisfactory. 'Encouraging accounts of progress in organisation and training were received from various. points in Counties Cork, Carlow, Kildare, Dublin, Galway, and Cavan. Headquarters, 2 Dawson Street,.

THE SAFEKEEPING OF ARMS. The fact that Irish Volunteers are now, under order from the proper authorities, parading more frequently .with arms than was the case some months a.go , must ;not be allowed to induce any carelessness in the .custody of our rifles. R ather the contrary. At Howth in July, 1914, Irishmen vindicated_ again, and finalli, their right to be an armed people. That right was consecrated in t he blood that was- shed on Ba.c helor' s Walk. It is a right that as a nation we' will not again surren.de·r , a right that no individual among us must surrender in his own person . The Volunteers will never willingly give up their ar:ins ; and before they are taken from us against our will blood will flow in every town in Ireland. · All this is of course implicit in ·our fundamental declaration of policy, and ~is fully accepted by every Irish Volunteer·. It is well, however, to restate ·i t now and then for . our own and for other's benefit. The E,x ecutive at its meeting last week reiterated previous pronouncements on the subject. Its directions to every Irish Volunteer are that he must take ade.q~ate precautions for the safeguarding of his rifle, and it adds that in. final resort it is a VolunteBr's duty to lose his life rather than suffer himself to be disarmed. No more need. be said on the subject at .the mome~nt.

A SuNDAY's WoRit. Sunday, the 26th . ult. , saw the Irish Volunteers busy in dmost every county in Ireland. At Enniscorthy the Wexford Brigade was reviewed and addressed by Commandant ·p. H. Pearse. At Bray a very successful rally, promoted by local workers acting in conj unction with the Director of Recruiting, wus addressed. by Commandant- The O'Rahilly and others, and resulted in the formation of what pro• mises to be a good C<;>mpany. At Dundalk a conference of Volunteers from Drogheda, Ardee, Dunleer, Grangebellew, Boherboy, and Dunda.lk, attended by Vice-Commandant Beasley on behalf of Headquarters, took effective steps for the organisation of the movement on: a

A.t Howth the Irish Volunteers had won for Ireland again the right to be an . armed people. That victory had been consecrated by innocent blood shed in Dublin streets.

An inspection of the W e.x ford Brigade took · place a.t Enniscorthy · on· Sunday, 26th September, the inspecting officer being Commandant P. H . Pearse of the Headquarters General Staff. The Brigade fell in on the Abbey Square at 1.30 p.m., Sean Synnott in command. The· 1st or Enniscorlhy Battalion, under Commandant Whitmore, mustered in almost full strength, consisting of "the three local. companies, and of the Ferns and Gorey Companies. The 2nd, or Wexford Battalion, the 3rd, or New ltoss Battalion, sent large contingents from their respective areas, the 2nd Battalion being represented by the Wexford and Rathangan Companies, and the 3rd by the New Ross and Ballymum Companies. At ·2 p .m . the Brigade marched off to Vinegar Hill, on the slope of which it deployed into line. The inspection then took place, and Commandant Pearse commended the soldiery bearing of th~ men and noted the fact that most of them were armed . In some cases arms \vere not carried, but this does not mean that the men were without a,rms . -The Brigade staff reports that there is a weapon for every man, and that it will also be possible to arm recruits . · After the inspection the Br igade form~9 1n . c~lumn ~f c~;r;.p~nies, and ~as a<ldressed by !Jom~1~11da.ii.'t P earse.

In other words, it meant Irish freedom. Who would say that freedom was not their rightJ They were not a new poli:tica1 party, and did not follow a new standard raised by. a new generation. They followed the standard under which all the genera.t ions .of Ireland had gone into battle. They sought no more tha.n their fathers had sought; and they would accept no less. The men before him were for the most part armed. He understood that those who did not parade with arms had arms at home. There was one thing he would say to them with all the ea.rnestness aJld

that they must follow a gem ine and suitable course of training. The essentials of Volunteer efficiency were discipline, ma.r ksmanship, and good . scouting. Failure in a.ny of these might prove, a fatal failure . The. place of every W exfordman who was not either purchased or intimidated was with the Irish Volunteers. The Volunteers were· surely the men in the danger gap. Was it not Wexford's tra.dition to be in the Bearna Bhoaghail-? After the address the· Brigade marched back to Enniscorthy, paraded the principal streets, and dismissed in the Ma.rket Sq}lare, having saluted the '98 Monument. Wexford is sound.
