-llrOTES The London correspondent o~ the_ " ~ri~h Times"· reports that "a general election is ~n some quarters considered to be necessary m order that the Government may be strengthened in authority arid may not have to face considerable trouble from the people and parties who are trying to undermine that authority." He adds: "It is probable _that ~oth the Home Rule. and the Tariff quest10n ~111 be swc;illowed up m a great policy of Impenal reorg:amsat1on, and _th~~ the parties as now known will cease to ex1s~ . It is not for the purpose of crushmg Prussian militarism or libeieating Europe or avenging Belgium or preservino- the freedom of the seas, accordino- to this rep~rt from "the political clubs," . that the Government is to be strengthened. Nothing of the kind, but "in order _that the Government may' have power to deal with. afterthe· war pr-obi ems,'' including the swallowmg-up of Home Rule. -

SATURDAY, MARCH - 25th, 1916. began to be dictatej] to them by English Ministers. Did they \ arn the people about the collapse of the "Hol'ne Rule" ministry? I warned them months in advance, but the leaders sang dumb and had to swa.llow the Coalition and : behave like good boys. .D id they warn the Irish people that ruinous ta"xation would be imposed · on them? I gave that warning months in advance, but the leaders kept silence. What sane man can expect that these leaders, though their own minds are full -of misgivings, will utter a word of honest and manly warning about the further changes that are now being prepared, and which they are powerless to prevent? * * Every warning that I have given has been • verified. At the inception of the Volunteer movement, it was evident that Mr. Redmond and his colleagues were blindly depending. on the · smooth course of British politics. The original Irish Volunteer manifesto warned the people that some great upheaval in British politics · might come to upset that sort of reliance. It came eight months later, in the shape of the w.ar, and it swept Mr . Redmond off his feet. Now I have another warning to give, or rather to repeat. If the .now adopted scheme of Imperial t axation is imposed on Ireland, it will be more ruinous to this country than a fresh conquest. It will reduce the population by onehalf. It will strangle every effort for the economic betterment of Ireland and drown ev:ery hope of Irish prosperity. It will involve Irish people of every side in politics in one common calamity. It will reduce those who are fairly well off to a . truggling condition, and those who are struggling to t"h.e ~11.dijijo:n of paupen. -It· will fill the emigrant ships, £he- poorh:-ouses, alid the lunatic asylums. The Irishman who, because he is in a political fix, or because he is blinded by faction, or because he is a partisan of English rule, gives his assent or consent to this piece of ruinous tyranny, is not fai~hful to Ireland. For the sake of our country, for the sake of all who are near and dear to us, this thing must be stopped. k
PRICE ONE PENNY. Dublin. Chairman : W. L. Cole ; Hon. Secs. ; B . J , Goff, M.A. ; J. E. Lyons; Hon.. Treasurer: Dr. Michael Davitt, B.Sc. Mr. Lyons's home· address is 14 Portland Place, Dublin. • • * I was denounced in public becaused I objected to "the son of Michael Davitt" when 1h.r. Redmond wished to nominate him to the Committee· of the Irish Volunteers. I objected to .Dr;. Davitt because I was not satisfied that he was· nominated with a view to make the Volunteer organisation effective in the service of i;ne country. But that stage is now past. I hope _ that those who heard me den,ounced will now support the son of Michael Davitt i_n the_ effort to protect Ireland from financial rum. * * * Mr. Birrell carried out t wo or three surprise raids on Irish Volunteers in Cork last week, just to illustrate Home Rule on the Statute- Book and to prove the truth of' Mr. Asquith's words that we are a free people. In these raids and the raid on Mr. Kent's house at Castlelyons, Mr. Birrell managed to steal two or three firearms and some ammunition. After all, that is a smal1 matter compared with the robbery of .c,1ght Millions per annum . But Mr. Birrell may bear in mind that in some of these raids of. his the surprise will be for him. ·we do not acknowledge· his right to burgle our houses for arms· and: ammunition. We have no doubt about our right to resist burglary. If in the resist ance, life i& lost on either side, Mr. Birrell will be the murderer. My advice is Parnell's advice: " Keep a firm grip on your homesteads." During the Land War, the armed forces of -the Crown came with their legal warra.nts to break into Irishmen's houses, and . in spite of their legality, which after all was merely armed force , what some call Prussianism, Iri8hmen defended their homes. -What Mr. Birrell, the pledged Home Ruler, wants is to have Ireland, like Mr: Redmond, at the mercy of his Government . We are resolved, with the help of God, that, so far a'S we can effect, Ireland will never again be at the . mercy. of any such Government. * * *· I don't pretend to know whether Mr. Birrelt indulges in " Prussiansim " because he has a taste for it, or wh,ether it is just typical Liberal' cowardice, under the influence of demands made· in the "Times," the "Globe," and other organs. of liberty. There. is nothing surprising in hisgame of surprise. He is an Englishman, ap~ pointed by Englishmen to rule Ireland. I am · more concerned for the police, ~rho are Irishmen. I certainly feel it would be a miserable thing to have to kill or wound an Irishman on Mr. Birrell's account. I had difficulty in ~me quarters, in the days before the war, in per-· suading some people that the Ulster Orangemen and the Ulster Volunteers were not what we had' to fight, unless we absolutely could not help it. Now the people who were hard to persuade are ·telling us that it is a gloriou ~ thing for Irish Nationalists and Irish Unionists to join hand& in defence . of the Empire or of Belgium or whatever it is. That makes it easier for me to say that it would be a miserable thing for us to· have to use our arms against Irish Unionists or· against Irish policemen. '
That _things would shape this way, I pointe~ out in the early stages of the war, when ~Ir. Redmond adopted the grand policy of throwmg Ireland on the mercy of the British Democracy and atoning for hoer. disloya~ and ungrateful past. This war ·was certam to brmg consequences that had not been calculated by those who were preparing Europe for it, from the Caspian Sea to the Bay of Biscay, for years past. Ther are now beo-innino- to get uneasy about other thmgs than Pr~ssian"' militarism. They have brought about a state of things for which history has np_ ~re cedent and for which experience has no gu1dmg light. Mr. Justice Pim, in his addre_ss to ._the Antrim Grand Jury the other day, said plamly that,- g1'eat a_s wer~ the _difficulties of the '_Var, still more senous difficulties after the war m~ght be expected. Yes it is going to be an anxious time for the o-randees generally, so they are beginning to plbt and plan in their political clubs, not merely the clubs of one party, but the <:lubs * * * of the whole Olio-.archy, how to handle the situaAlready the public representative bodies have tion.

They cannot be accused of hasty over the mass of the people. There will be. no action. Wh·e never the question is raised, the gi:ave differences. ?n that. point betwe~n lea~1~g usual formula of faction is brought forward by Liberals and leadmg Tones. · They will all . iom somebody who thinks more of the advanta~e of hands and help each other to snaffie and sactdle a party than of his duty to the country-perhaps their dear old pack-mUle, Mr. Redmond's. hope it is his own private interest that is troubling and joy, the ~ritish Demo<:rac,~.

At this juncture the police,.·who had hitherto remained almost completely inactive, demanded admission to the Volunteer premises, and on · b~ing admitted the County Inspector, to the complete surprise of the Volunteers, ' suddenly ordered the police to search fo~· arms. · · · 'l'he police ~ere followed into the building by · the mob, and the Volunteers were simultaneously attacked by police searching for arms and , by members of the hostile crowd . In the Sb!Uflle which ensued. a couple of r~:v9lvers went off, with the result that Sergeant .Aherne was ·infured .· Several of the Volunteers were maltreated by the police and the crowd in a shocking manner. The whole affair could easily have been prevented by the police if they' had dispersed the crowd, who were smashing the windows of the Volunteer premises, but the police seemed bent ~ upon ta.king . a.c tion agamst no one but the . Volunteers, who were defending themselves as : best tJ?.ey could from the assaults of a hostile mob.
OFFICIAL. ACCOUNT. '" Interviewed by a newspaper representative on ·Tuesday, Mr. ·Bulmer Hobson; Hon. Secretary of the Irish Volunteers, stated that, according to the reports receiv~d b:y Headquarters from the Irish Volunteer officers at Tullamore, the facts of the situation were a.s follows :Last night, about 8 o'clock, a _large crowd, principally from the Barrack Street quarter of 'Tullamore, assembled outside the rooms occupied by the local Volunteers. Several Volunteers a~d also several ladies who were believed to be m ·s ympathy with the Volunteer . movement, were assaulted by· the mob, several being . repeatedly knocked down and kicked. The police . assist~d in protecting the ladies who were assaulted, but made RO attempt What~ver to disperse the crowd . The crowd poured volleys of Stones and Bottles in through the windows of the Volunteer premises, but fortu -nately the few Volunteers who were inside were not injured. This state of affairs lasted about.half an hour, and during that time no effort to disperse the crowd or to put an end to the affair was made by the police.

I Fr.N~inood~~·ri~V~unMe~I Preaching a.t .Difount Argus, Dublin,, on Sunday week, when a large number of Irish Volunteers were present, Father Eugene Nevin, of tile Pas·sionist Order, spoke as follows:I cannot refrain from expressing the feeling of pleasure I experience in seeing such a fine body of young me.n here this morning, all members of the Irish Volunteers. " Clarum nomen et venerabile !" Yes, to the mind of every true Irishman the napie has honoured and glorious associations, and. I am confident from what I mve heard, and from what I see here before me now, that if the necessity or the occasion arises, the honoured principles and associations of the men of 1782 will .be fully and nobly maintained _by the men of to-day. What a pity your formation has been delayed so long, delayed ·until the present great upheaval, when all Europe's empires, kingdoms · and states have - been cast into .t he melting-pot. . And what will be evolved for us out of the steam and smoke of battle. He would be a wise man who could tell. · But now that you have been formed I think, and, indeed, am quite certain, every young man in this country of military age and capacity should be in your ranks. You deserve every encouragement and support, for after all is said and done ~and a great deal has been said, and very li_ttle has been done-recent events have, I thmk, shown us clearly enough that it is only an organisation which commands respect by reason of its numerical strength and· discipline and determination, that counts for an~thing. . 'l'he Ulster Volunteers of the other day is a standing proof of that-and shall I also say the. power of such ' an organisation to inflict injury is one of the best reasons foi" its existence? Well, my dear friends and brothers, · my mission is not one of war, but " that of peace- " Peace, which hath its victbries no less renowned than war." The Irish Volunteers of 1782 had not to strike a blow at all. They won by theii· splendid organisation and their firm determination what, ram sure, everyone of you here to-day is willing to fight a nd die for-Irish Freedom . Dear friends, the shadow of a great betrayal is over the land. I do not like to say hard things, but though the truth is oftentimes bitter, it had better be said-it is always wholesome. we, all of us, have witnes_sed an infamous act of treachery to which the history of any civilized or uncivilized country can furnish no parallel. Your duty it is to blot out that disgrace and counteract tha t infamy. You can do it-you can do almost anything by o1'ganisation. , Some. ·thing· surely, ought and must be done . Hence I say in the surrounding gloom, come qown upon us consequent on our betrayal, the one bright spot in Ireland to-day is the parade ground of the Irish Volunteers. Therefore be zealous;members ; and strict adherents to the rules of your brigade . Strict, discipline, subjection to command, are · absolutely necessary, and without them no army is of any use whatev-er. And, above all, be t r ue to the principles and practices of your Holy Faith. Catholic and Irish are, to the minds of many, synonymous. The Irishman who is true to his faith should be a good Irishman. Love of country is akin to our ·1ove ·of God, and he who does not love his country in good report and evil report is a poor . specimen of a Catholic. It is, my dear friends,. by keeping steadfastly to the practices of your l!oly Faith and the rules 9f your organisation th:at you will attain the purpose for which you are banded together; perhaps, too; after the manner of the Volunteers of 1782.
( At the present time it is impossible to· purchase rifles for the Irish Volunteers; exqept where a ·chance occasionally arises of purchase from private individuals . And there are only a small number of rifles in stock, all of which are, naturally, very expensive at present . On the other hand, the demand for rifles is not decreasing, although large numbers o~ tlle Volunteers are now coming to see that other firearms .a re, in ordinary conditions, quite good enough . But now· the demand for rifles has taken on a new form. At the present time it is: ·· no longer the wholesale unreasoning business it was forme.r ly. It now is a question of new corps asking for a sm'a ll number of rifles for their best shots. This is a thoroughly sound principle and all possible means should be adopted to fall in with it. The high valu.e of the expert sniper has been proved beyond· all possibility of question in every field of the. present European war.' The following measure would have the effect of setting free a certain number of rifles in good condition. A number-in fact, the _great er num----·:··---ber-of Volunteer officers possess rifles as well as their side-arms ;, and many of the officers are ST. PATRICK'S .DAY PARADES. cjuite prepared to sell their rif.l.es . And that, too, The Kilkenny Irish Volunteer~·. held the probably at a lower figure than it would be Church Parade on St. Patrick's Day, as directed possible to ·purchase them from Headquarters . by Headquarters. In addition to the City ComAs a matter of fact, there is no . strong case to pany ·representatives were present fro~ Clobe made out for officers carrying rifles. The only mantagh, Freshford Three Castles, Dunmore, reason put forward for the custom is that it is Crutt, Castlecomer, Muckalee, Johnswell, Clara, supposed to ·pi:.e vent officers being picked off; Bagnalstown, Goresbridge, Inistioge. 'l·Jie Kilbut it cannot be said th· t it has by any means kenny and Goresbridge Pipers Bands headed tf!e had this result. If it is co:ritended that the rifle Parade, followed. by the Flag, which was guarded / is bet£er than the· sword in a bayonet charge, by fixed bayonets. Mass was heard at St. John's there is no reason why officers should not carry Church, after which the Companies paraded the a half-pike or partisan, as they did in the principal streets . The Volunteers · were dis• seventeenth -and eighteenth centuries. · For the missed in time to allow them ·to take part as officer's fire-arm the most suitable is a good individuals ·in ~he public procession of the Holy revolver or automatic pistol. · .
