I, is necessary he should continue to watch the enemy so long as possible, but it is also necessary he should hurry ahead on the road along which. the .hostile c?lmn is a-dvancing and strive to delay ItS pro· gress. He 'must decide rapidly and for himself. He dec 'des, and! picking eight men Leaves them to watch secretly the movements .of the main force, and to despatch hews "by s'ngle messenger of ar;y important devel-o.pm.en~, and he hurries ahead of the invaders WIth his rerna-ninz twelve men.

He is, however, only half an hour ahead and may not delay to break it down. To blow. it up he must have dynamite and expert knowledge of how to i!Soe it. Thus it will be seen that the knowledge of how 10 rapidly destroy bridges should be imparted to every volunteer. . ",Ye shell! assume, however: t.\lat althouzh the volunteer officer has knowledg;' he has not the means with - which to destroy the bridg,e. He considers the matter of barrcadng it. The tme which it would consume to erect a, barricade is considered.: and he finds tIiat in the amount of time he. has to spare he could not erect a serous -one, Here note-that the construction of barricades is an artthat a- real barricade is not a higgedlypi~gedly collection of materials thrown togeth.er and easi ly " pulled asunder. The officer and. hs men, 'therefore, hurry on ~9d. ' They are on foot. He comes to a Iarrnhouse and 5e' zes the horses ther.e to mount such of hs men, as are able to ride, and sends them back and forward to watch; the .approaching -enerny and signal the country. At length ne sees the town of Kill, Here, if his. messages have reached aright, there is a: consideraible force of volunteers assembled. ' Approaching Kill, he finds that 500 volunteers are gathered under a commanding officer. He quickly gives the officer all the information -as to the enemy he possesses, and. falls 'in under his direction. The officer, aware that the defensive forces are .rapidly gathering in his rear, must delay the enemy .. With his inferior .foree hs -could only delay. them consider. ably' at tthe risk of ann.ihilat-on , He ordel'S the town to be set on fire, and falls back. The advance of'the enemy is sufficiently delayed by this manoeuvre to enable the volunteer forces in the rear to effect a junction. . The commander then flings out detachments to mcke guerilla attacks on the flank of the apprcachng enemy and thr-ows up barrcades across his front. He despatches sorna of his f.orces to construct barricades some ds/ance in the

ga_lned. The advance of the enemy would army was being mobilsed. The enemy -would be faced with annihilation as the al.ernative of unconditional surrender. Assuming that 60,000 of the volunteer army could be mobil' sed to .protect AthLone and "Limerick, a.nd that the invaders advanced in full force upon Atb:lone, the real problem lbefore the Irish commander would be to defeat 20,000 regular soldiers with 50,000 traned civilians. The com. mander .of the regular soldiery would, do his utmost to d/rive the defending forces into a pitched: .batile. The volunteer com. mander instead 'would occupy every hll, eminence, viIlage, town. and pass along the way, 'holding them - so 19n9 as they might De held with tbe balance of ad. vantage-i.e., the infliction of a greater loss' upon the enemy than the enemy could inflct upon him. He would keep the most mobJe of h'is following hovering on the flanks and rear of the enemy and permit it no rest day or night. In the enemy's I front, as the defenders of one line fall back, they would retire, not .behind the second, but behnd' the third line, whch would CjUSe ,the jaded regular soldiers-to be fzced always by fresh or freshened men.

Taking the volunteer forces at ,50,000, not more than 15,000 would be needed at one time for keeping the enemy occup'ed-5,000 in hs front, 8,000 on Ius flanks, 2,000 in his rear.

LIMERICK. 'The Limerick corps have secured a mag. nificent covered-in Drill Hall, capable of accommodating over 1,{)00 men. Drilling of all the companies is .now in full swing in the various Halls, A trial dr.ill of three of the 'City divisions numbering ,100 men took place in the. New Hall on Sunday last at 1 o'clock, and good work was oarried .out bv the Drill Ins.tructors under Lieutenant ·}IoIla:,1.d. It is hoped to have the New Hall suffciently cleared to accornmodate a drill of 800 men. on Sundav next at Lo'clock. The companies will drill in the district halls 011 Monday Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.

DIULLING

IN

CASTLtBAit

At the initial meeting on Sunday \veek for the enlistment and drilling recruits there was a good muster. The rendezvous was the Urban Council yard .Cavendish Lane, and after the enrolment of over a hundired recruits (some of whom were unable to be present but sent their names and subscriptions) . about 60 underwent a twohours' . course ot" drilling. The recruits were divided into, four squads, and under the guidap{:e of four capable instructors good" progress was made, and all who par+icipated seemed well pleased, with their first experience of drilling. :ML J. 'Hoben presided at a meeting of the Committee of above on 'Wednesday night week, and the election of officers resulted as follows: -President, Mr.· John Hoban; treasurer, Mr. John ~'Go,wan; secretary, :1-1:1'. A. Ryan. As the Urban Council yard ·is at present inadequate to cope withv thelarge number of volunteers joining, the Committee are making arrangements for the securing of, additional drilling grounds.

.i\10::\AGHAN. The weekly drill meeting of the Monag. han branch of the Irish National Volunteers was held in S1. Macartens Hall on Thursday riight. Upwards of one hundred were present ancL there was a further enrolment of members. The drill instructor (Mr. J. \Yoods.) expressed himself much pleased with the progress of the members in drilling. At the conclusion of the drill Mr. 1'. Whelan, J.P., announced that the hall was not capable. of accommodating any further members, and in future they should have marches, so that everyone . would get an opportunity of being drilled. Mr. J. Woods, drill instructor to the Monaghan National Volunteer Corps, has been appointed to a similar position in the corps at Smithboro' and Greenan's Cross. The very large membership roll is still growing.

As will he seen from our advertising columns, the Emmet Commemoration Concert to' he held; in ,the Rotunda on March 14th, promises to be a great success. A really fine progra,mme has been arranged and some of the best talent in Ireland will contribute, The proceeds will be de . voted to the Wolfe Tone Memorial Fund.
