The test of politi~ cal action in Ireland is, shall we act as a nation, using freely the recognised powers of a nation, or shall we ·act as something less than a colony or a do~ minion of. an Empire, doing what 'we are required to do by an authority which -is not ours . * * " , r:i:'he pr·e sent state of the Law in Ireland has received a beauti£ul illustration .

ON KEEPING ONE'S HEAD-MACBETH AS MILITARIST-ETC. Some of my -readers may take exception to some of the doctrines I preached last week. "Better leave Ireland as she is," they may say, "t.h an put her under the heel of a , ·milita;ry caste ."

Well, friend pacifist,' I agree with you in' a kind of way, because I !')ee what- you are driving at. You thin~k of militarism in its hardness and br:µtality; of lame cobOlers· sabred by swaggering junkers; of perpetual cavalc~des of jingling horsemen disturbing the quiet of our streets. You picture your so~ri', now so quiet and lawabiding, 9ome ltriding into your peaceful household, spre·a.ding his puttied legs out before the fire, '· and flinging his bayonet ·d own with a er~§~ among the tea things.

But you are mistaken. This is not the militarism I preach-though it m~y come about. These little incidentals. may be a nuisance or · a spice to life, whichever you .choose, but they are the incidentaJs of militarism at peace. We18.re at war. e<' • •

·.

militarist; bnly a stabber in ·the back.

But his malady is pretty common; he is like the chess-player who gives up all hope when he loses his queen; the man who can't play a losing game; the man who can't face odds.

• * * Volunt,e er officers,' I have watched you in manoeuvres, and I fear that many of you die like him. Some of you, when you think the task assigned to you is too hard for you are inclined not to do your best to accomplish it. Some of you lose all power of action when faced with the ·necessity for a sudden decision. Some of you lose your heads completely when anything unexpected crops up. All ' of you think too slowly. Isn't that so? And we have alrea~y been two years campa1gning. * * * Moreover, our campaigning has been of the sort that should cultiva.te this faculty above all. Coolness and Decision -what a shool we ha.v ein which to practice them. You all know the occasion on which you will rl'.quire them most; you · all know how imminen ~ it may be. You will require them' in the' fielld too. The lives of hundreds qf men· may depend on - y.oi'ur posse·ssion or .Jae.~ pf these faculties.

L 'gave you Macbetli'~ instance as' an extreme case, bu.t don·• t regard it- as a Thaf 'lrind of thing has farcical one. · happened over and over again in military history.

But if the Government intended to pursue their policy of coercion it was up to every Irishman to stand in with the Irish Volunteers and get a rifle. .T.he resolution was · then put tO the meeting and passed unanimousl:y: amid cheers.

LIVERPOOL IRISH VOLUNTEERS.

The Liverpool Volunteers have come under the notice of the friendly Government. On our return from the O'Dono- van Rossa funeral in Dublin, to which 40 men of B. C9mpany travelled, we found that Greenwich Park had been seized by the Government.

This meant that the only available field for open order drill in Liverpool was gone.

However, this did not trouble us, as we continued our programme in the hall an.d occasional route marches.

Even route marches are carried out under serious difficulties in Liverpool, as all the roads round here are held by the military .

Everything went on all right until last week, when we received notice to get out of our hall, and as we held no lease of the preJllises, we had no alternative but to accept same. Not satisfied with forcing the landlord to ¢vict us, the authorities raided the ha.11 during the week in the hope of fin.ding rifles no doubt. kll they found was a few dozen sticks which the Volunteers . used for drilling purposes .

Immediately on receiving notice we set about getting a new hall . This was not • ea~y in Liverpool. We searched far and near, and at last discovered one .

The new hall is at 1A Ardsley Street (off W ellington Street), Scotland Road, Liverpool. We go into it on 'ruesday, 12th - October, and we appeal to all Liverpool irishmen who read this report to. come along on that night and swell the ranks of the Volunteers. Now B. Company has something to boast of, after being evicted . from one hall to go straight into a new one without losing one drill night.

The officers and men of B . Company take this opportunity to thank the ladies of -Cumann na mBan for the manner in which they have supported them both financially and otherwise, and also for their decision to hold their meetings weekly in oi.u new hall. It is indeed encouraging · to see such a good fighting spirit exist . in the Irishwomen in. the Liverpool Cumann na mBan. New recruits will be .enrolled at above address on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 8 .30 o'clock p . ni~ .sharp.

Cumaan na mBa.n meet on Friday night at 8 o'clock. New recruits are welcome.
