garding the Volunteer masquerade:

war in Ulster, Mr.. Joseph Devlin, in

nowhere in Ulster has the solemn
truth of Mr.. Devlin's words seemed
more evident than in Armagh. 1t

tionalist onlokers to observe the
play-acting of the Ulster Volunteers
in this neighborhood, and the earnest
efforts they are putting forth to show
that they are in earnest. Some OIL
the incidents are worthy of note. Re-

riors was the fact that they were
closely followed by sofficient num-
Der of hackney cars to accommodate
them, so that when they got tired
marching they could drive. An old
soldier, when he saw them pass
through REORGANIZATION and call
at several pubs" in that town to re-
gale themselves. drily remarked that
he had often heard of featherbed SOL
diers, but that the Ulster Volunteer
force simply took the biscuit" in
