Secret Pact of Army Officers Seek
to Break Army Discipline

moralized Condition of the
British Army
English Army Suffering From Lack
of Real Soldiers Among
Off .cers


izen," says the Dublin Freeman, re-
views the army situation in the Brit
ish Isles in the following article:
There is now ample evidence that the
Tory "loyalists" have attempted, and
with some degree of success, to
break down discipline in the Kings
Army in Ireland. This political dop-
ing of the Army is bitterly resented
throughout Ireland, and has raised
serious internal trouble in the Army
itself.
1t must not be assumed that be-
cause officers of the Cavalry Brigade,
composed of young Tory bloods and
squireen swash-bucklers, have
threatened the Government. that
their action is symptomatic of the
feeling in the Army, or typifies the
outlook of what have been regarded
as the disciplined forces of the
Crown. The "Resigners'' are in a
decided minority ir the Army; they
are a gregarious order, like all as
cendancy orders, and they have come
together in the Cavalry Brigade.
There they made themselves effect
lively felt, but here in Dublin, in
service circles, it is believed that they
have been more effective than they
realised, and that their action,
though taken on behalf of exclusive
aristocrauc ascendency. has had a
powerful influence in the direction
of democratizing the offering of the
army. Their arrogant claim to SUBJ
vert discipline for political purposes
has supplied condemnation of the
system which makes them officers
over men of experience and brains
instead of monopolizing the army for
and converting it into a machine for
registering Tory political opinion.
They have, by the ultimat1m to the
war office. forced the ":ranazers" we'll
on the way to their rishtful place
in the service. Their service to
king and country has helped recog-
nftion OF merit in the ranks, and the
day is not far distant when the Of
ficers' mess will be not the Tory

coumtry's soldiers.

naught Rangers or Munster Fusiliers
were ordered south tomorrow. and
the officers refused to move against
their Catholic fellow-countrymen,
will these officers say it would be
wrong for the men to throw down
their arms. too, and say they would
not shoot their own. This is the slip
perry slope on which this unfortunate
affair has placed the British army in
Ireland.
''It will be noticed that this young
officer referred to certain influences

property that all the wealth and in
fiuence of the Tory aristocracy has
been employed in the campaign of
King Carson against King George.
Every officers mess in the country
has been sedulously canvassed. Fair
damsels have smiled on subalterns
!! in order to win them over to Carson
ism. House parties have been given
in order that the thoughtless officers
would be talked to in insidious whis-
pers. From end to end of the coun-
try the game has been carried on.
Even non-commissioned officers

over; they have been petted as they

pOST.OFFICE AND ANTI-CATHo'
Lie SHEETS.

A few days ago the Central Bu-
reau of the G. V. at st. Louis re-
ceived letter from a physician IN
one of the Southern states. who
asked that reply be sent him oy
registered mail, since, as he said, ne
had reason to fear that it would not
otherwise reach him intact. The let
ter had: to do with certain matters
with which the Menace" is con-
cerned.
This request would seem peculiar
were it not for the fact that circum-
stances seem to justify the suspicion
on which it is based. Some time ago
q letter from the Rev. Father Rey-
nolds of Nevada, to. the Central Bu-
reau, was received at that Bureau in
a torn and opened envelope. 1t will
be remembered that Father Reynolds
was attacked by the Menace, and the
letter was mailed shortly after the
attack had appeared. 1t is also a
known. fact that the Menace,
fpublished at Aurora, Mo- reprinted
in fac smile a letter coming from
the Postoffice Department in Wash
ineton to the Postmaster at Aurora.
The Postmaster General has since
been asked to ascertain how this let
ter came into the hands of the Men
ace"
In view Of these facts it would ap-
near that this request is quite time
ly. It would also seem desirable
that supervision be increased SO that
such SUSPICION VIII mo longer have to
be entertained.
