there were might well have occurred in
London. The official announcement of the
formation of the Irish guards was not given

Irish Times comment on it this morning.

that British statesmen have an opportunity
of making Irish sentiment a bulwark of the
empire. II Is an opportunity they have al
ways had. but they have never had the
political sagacity to realize it," The edi-
torial goes on to say: THE best expert
ment the imperial government could make
would be to grant Ireland her rights. Until
this is done a dozen Queens visits every
year would not make things otherwise

news of the attempted assassination with
calmness and that, although disturbed, she
