the declaration of an English publica-
ton that Canadian women are not

Col. Arthur Lynch, the only political
prisoner in England, has been liberated
on parole after one years Imprisonment
This was predicted at the time of his SEN

penalty satisfied the imperialists; the
release quiets the Irish and the little
Englanders." Britain would hardly
have dared to execute Col. Lynch.
