Don't do this on too ambitious a scale. Think of yourself as a Section Commander rather than a Commandant, and ,pay less atten- • tion to Lugna.quilla than to hillock 65.

Ask yourself how you would def end this hillock or attack that ,one . Think what would you do if you were leading yqur section along the road and suddenly the wood on your right opened fire on you.

Even if you come to no decision the wondering will do you good. l£ you have a companion with you argue your dispositions .o ut with him, an·d both of you will profit more by it than either of you would alone .. It's so easy to see other people':; mistakes. * * * Townsmen should always look at their streets from a street-fighting point of vie:w. Think where you would erect barricades and how. Notice wha.t lanes com. mand the streets; ·Notice theJ>ack ways and cul de sacs. Think out how you would hold youF own house '. ag'a inst a * * * siege.

But don't think too ambitious1y. A good section commander is worth a dozen inefficient field-marshals.

Great · preparations '£or the Convention are being made · among the Branches . · The Executive note -with satisfaction that several -Branches ha:Ve sent up affiliation lees of 7s. 6d., which shows that· their membership list must reach 100 mel!'.lbers.

This entitles such Branches to a second d,e legate at the Convention. So look to your roll-books, all ye Branch Secretaries!

The Convention will begin a.t 11 a.m. on the· morning of Sunday, 31st. · When will it be over? That is hard to saybut notices 0£ mot~on are still tumbling ' in, so delegates are recommended to bring sandwiches as well as ready wits and minds determined on matters of principle.

Each notice of motion will be. allotted a given time on the a~genda,, and it b'ehoves all interested to study the various questions •beforehand and to have arguments and objections fully preapred.

A new Branch: has just been formed in Glasgow. We hope it will be able to send us a delegate on the 31st, as our our Liverpool Branch is doing. Gastleba·r Branch, too, though only a. few weeks in being, intends tc;> be repr~sented and to have a. voice in the counsels.

'l'HE CONVENTION. Over two hundred Volunteer Companies will send dele.gates to" the· second annual Convention of Irish Volunteers which will meet in the .Abbey 'fheatre on Sunday next. In addition to the delegates the members of the General Council will sit in the Convention. 'l'he gathering will therefore consist 0£ about two hundred and fifty Volunteers.

The significant thing about it will be not so much ·its size as the fact that it will be in a real sense an assembly 0£ soldiers, the delegates 0£ soldiers. Every man there will be a man who is unde.rgoihg military training; and who is the representative and spokesman 0£ a group of comrades who are also undergoing military training. 'l'he Volunteers are not professional , soldiers, but · they are that better a.n d finer thing,-citizens who have accepted military discipli ne and who have learned the use 0£ arms; citizens who have undertaken the duty of national defence and ·who are rapidly fitting themselves for the discharg'e of that duty.

-AnouT OuRSBLVES. We have no illusions on the subject 0£ the military efficiency 0£ the Irish Volunteers. We know that we are not a large national army; we know that our training is as yet ' imperfect.

We do not suppose that we could fight the troops of the Kaiser.

But }Ve believe that, man for man, we are as good as any troops we· shall ever be called upon to £,a ce; we believe that our training, within certain clearly-defin.:id. limits, is as _g:ood as the training of any troops we are likely to have opposed to us. .After all, we have two years' more or less steady training behind us, which is more than can be said for the majority of non-conscript troops now fighting on the Eur:opean battle-fields. Our training, at any ra.te for the past twelve months, has been strictly directed towards fitting us to fight under the special conditions 0£ a campaign in Ireland.

We have cut out all the useless things, and confined ourselves to the essentials.

We are daily improving. Our ranks remain intact. New districts are rallying to us. Our Volunteer army is a reality .

It exists; it is armed; it can march; it can fight. .All this is an eno:rmous achievement, an achievement so enormous that one has, so tO speak, to step back ' from it now and then · and contemplate it from a little distance in order to realise it. We believe that in the Volunteer anny _ of to-day we have
