DEVINE.

Me T J Devine, who' was loudly cheered, said-s.Men of Boyle and Ros-. common, I have 'been asked to propose this resolutioru for your acceptance. The resolution proposed is that an Irish Volunteer . corps he formed in ,Boyle._ That is the only resolution that will be submitted to you on behalf of !ljJe Iris~ Volunteer movement. I am sure 1.t seems strange to a good many who. may have had the misfortune of listening to me on previous occasions, that I have not rnore resolutions to read, b,ut it seems now that resolutions are going to be thrown on ooe side and we are go· ing to have a little active work (cheers). The days of resolntions are gone by; they served a .'.useful . .purpose in their time; many a l<mg list of resolutions were passed on the Crescent of Boyle, and! I think you wiII agree y;i1h me that the subject matter of most of those reo solutions has been carried into effect (hear, .hea.r)--so thM;' after all, resolutions were not empty sounds, The men of Roscommon were behind the resolutions passed. As" you are well aware, since the movement originate(! in '79 Rcscomruon didn't play second to any county in Ireland, it :was looked upon as the banner ccu nty of Ireland. Today there has arisen another force instead of the U I I.-the A 0 H, and it is stronger in' this' 'county than any county in Connaught , and. it wiII be for the members of the A 0 H all oyer Ireland to' form a bodyguard and join in the new Volunteer movement. There are no leaders up to ·the present here, .in this new movement j- we all start· as recruits (laughter]. The

Government.

\y~- are all 5upport,e;:s of the present. day ·Government. It would seem by sorne is-sues of papers in England and Ireland' that the troops' are shy of goiig down to Ulster. (A voice-"We'll all g-o': and laughter). I hold Strong views on that matter that might not meet with tho 'a;P'Pw"I"al of some 'present, but if they leave us to settle the little differenoes . in Ireland., Ibet'\\'~n Nationalist HOIl~' Rulers and the Ulster Volunteers we would be able to.,· settle it with'Out allY .i~nglisih soldiers .{h~aF, hear). \ll'e all realise .i t is pretence 011 their part; they never. meant to' fight. They know the Enqlishcnan very well, and "mean to intimidate him. Let us proclaim "(0 the Englishman and to the world at large that we want Home Rule, and that we mean to. hay,e it. It is the idea of a 'few in the North of Ireland, to intimi. c'a,te . the English. I think they don't realise what it would mean if ilie Go.,v. ernment w.]s' thrown out and Home Rule def.eated by this U.lster bravado. 1 think ,th3re w<;lUld be n:eces-sity f.o,r a large army in Ireland, and I don't think EnglaJ1d eopld s.p;tre eBo.ug'll ·inen to 'Pr'es~rve pea.~ in t)J~ W:(i~t (ci'j..eers). "Let:

Us Drill."

Let us drill; we will find anns some place or sJJ1lewh~,re, and when that day comes, old and' feeble -and alI as I a111, I wiII Ibe at leas,t a pri·va.~ in the ranks (cheet's). Here .in 'the s.ha:do.w o,f the Curli,eu . Pass, where our ancesto..rs dis. tiruguished ,themselves-, I would ask you ,to -reg-ister a VQW' that each in -his own district. won't sleep on th.e project we have taken in h.anl.!. to·day, bu1~cwill do a mans' .par;t in est·al>lishirig active b.t'aoch of the Ir;,sh Vo]\:m:ee,r5, and' you wiII co·ntinue to march and driIJ and be serfs, no Jong,er, but 'f.vee and in. depedelllt Irishmen (loud cheers).

O'Rahjlly said that ~lr ReClmond and his party had at present adopted' 'an attitude in opposition to the op.'P!?nen~ of the Go· vernrnent. They were in oPposltion to the party in 'ih~ .North- in the:;t,. 'oPPosition to intimidate the Government by means of armed force, ;a,lld regarded-such action as unjustifiable. 'Vas it conceivable then that any man or men whq:had .. adopted that line should! at the same-time prompt their followers to take, a' similar line of action. Suppose Mr Redmond had Iavcured such a' course, what difference, would there be between his ,attitude and: that of Sir Edward! Carson? (Hear,: hear.) ,~1;r. Redmond adopted. the -constitutional attitude, 'but the other side said they were prepared to shoot. For. c· arij man who wished to remain within constituton to U':g:e such." a thing would be utterly impossible, Mr Redmond mIght have his own private views, ,!mt it would, be up .. reasonable for them to "expect that at the' present juncture lie should tome' out and e:XP1'CssI:in~elf in favour of the organisanon of V'Olunt~rs.

Sir Edward Carson had at' his back a. great polticul 'force-s-a force that had moved the Government and that force .was his rflemen. As: Mr' Redmond in the present 'circumstances could not urge such action, on the .part of Nation. alists, they should: not wait for: 'aI1Y .man to bvour such a course. \Vllen 'their leader was prevented from ta'kirug a certan course it was the.r own duty to let hun see that thev were' behind him and would see his policy car-ried out 11ll-ouah thick and thin (applause). 'The .Volu~l. teers, . though. only three months started, had already spre rd to ;24' counties, and recru:ting was far more rapd' than· -in the Imperial. army.

~"I tMessenger The simplest. and quWkest method of .learning the semaphore alphabet is to ..master one circle at a time. There are seven circles as follows i-e1st Circle-A to G. ~ 2nd Circle-H to N, omitting 3rd . Circle-O to S; 4th C'ircle-T, U, Y, and "Annul" 'Or. "Erase." 5th Circle-"N.u.merical Sign," J ('Or "Alphabetical Sign") and V. 6th Circle-Wand X-. 7th Circle..-Z. A to C i3. made with the right ann, .D. iHay be made with either arm, 'E to ~G •·.i.s. made: with the left arm 'Only, The .arrn not engaged must be kept well· in front 'Of. body, as shown in illustration. To fo.rm H, place the right arm in the positi0l1 of: A, and bringing the left aiCross the body, turning well. en the hips to the position 'Of B. Throughout 'the 2nd circle the right arm is kept stationary at A, whilst the left moves in the same direction as the hands 'Of a clock through successive angles 'Of 45 degrees, till it reaches its final position at G. -Ln the 3rd circle the right arm is kepi: in the' positon 'Of B, ana the left, -starting from the C position; moves in same manner as in previous circle: In the 4th circle the right arm is held at C, in the, 5th circle it is held at D, in the &th circle at E, in ,/j'lh circle at F, the .Ieft arm. only ·being riroved , on the same pri.aciple as before. When you are able to go through the entire seven circles you should practise sending it letter and _ its opposite, for instance, A and, G, Hand Z, I and X, l! and 'J, Q and Y, and SQ on. A t the outset be careful not to adopt .. slovenly style in sending, -as a bad style in sending will only make it diftjoult 'Or impossible for the reader to' .understand trour message.· Study carefully the position of the arms in the illustration, and practise putting the arms in the exact .posi tions. /.
