These enthusiastic demonstrations of
English appreciation of Irish valor shown
in South Africa are surprise to the out
side world, and in some measure to the
English and the Irish themselves And vet
why? They were in reason to have been
expected. The Irish soldiers thus to distin-
guish themselves have been in British ser
vice some of them for years. There has
never been a day since they put on the
British uniform that they have not been
ready to follow the flag of the empire
Some of them. indeed. have fought for it
quite valiantly in India and In Egypt as
they are doing now in South Africa But
somehow it has taken this present war to
bring matters to such pass as that all
former divisions seem dwarfed, for the time
at least, in the presence OF Irish devotion to
the common cause The thrill of union and
fraternity goes through the whole of the
empire, to thu remotest corners.
The United States enjoyed an experience
of a somewhat similar nature at the time
OF the war with Spain. II had been more
than thirty years since the southern states
had been restored to their old places in the
