The Irish Volunteers are no longer
mere proposal, they are living
and robust reality. Their call to
arms has been answered in every
quarter of Ireland. Young Irish
men have everywhere laid aside their
differences and come together on the
common melting ground for all Irish
men-the national army. 1t can be
said without any trace of 'exaggera-
tion that no other recent event has
done so much to guarantee the. fu-
ture peace and security of Ireland.
So far no substantial portion of
the expenditure involved has been
borne by the public at large. Drill
ing organizing and secretarial ex-
penses have been paid and will con-
tinue to be paid by the Volunteers
themselves. But the material equip
ment of the force will involve an ex-
penditure far too heavy to be met
with in that way.
The Volunteers are the nucleus of
a permanent defense force, of Ma
tional Army. They will be an arm
and a possession Of the whole nation,
the focus of its defense and the nee
essary guardian of it's liberties both
now and hereafter.
If ever there was work which,
from its magnitude and its incompar-
able national Importance, warranted
nation in making serious financial
sacrifices, and in providing large and
generous contributions. the equip
nnent Of the Irish Volunteers is that
work.
Thousands of working men are
making every week sacrifices, not
only of time but of money, that are
a bright example for those of their
countrymen who are in easier cir
cumstances.
We appeal then to every Irishman
who believes in self-respecting,
self-reliant Ireland, to do his part in
equipping the first National Army of
Defense established in Ireland since
the great days of Grattan.

were ordered to rejoin their regiments
In the House of Commons, on Monday
the Premier explained that the resig-
nations were due to a misunderstand-
ing of orders; that officers domiciled
in the area of disturbance would be
excused from taking part in any nec-
essary operations; that the movements
of troops were purely precautionary
that no further movements were con-
templated, nor any aggressive move
against ULSTER" The Premier warned
Mr.. Bonar Law and the Opposition of
the danger Of encouraging insubordi
nation in the Army and Navy, and
Lord Morley did the same in the House
of Lords. And SO the incident has
terminated for the present.
A Liberal Comment.
There can be no doubt whatever
that in the Liberal and Labour Parties
in the House of Commons, and amongst
their supporters In the country, the
Curragh incident has aroused a strong
feeling of resentment. This feeling
finds expression in the Liberal Press.
For example, the Daily Chronicle" in
an article headed "The Limit of Pa
tience," says:
1T is pretended, Of course, by Un-
ionists that the Government should
keep a submissive and non-militant
front, so as not to irritate Ulster. We
believe, and so do the Unionists in
reality, that the exact opposite is the
case What has stimulated not mere.
ly the Ulster Volunteers, but the far
more real dangers of Ulster ruffianism
is not the idea that the Government

against Home Rule as against the
fact that the Liberals have enjoyed
office and power for so long, and that
the prospects of Society" and the
aristocrats once again controlling the
government of the country, and dis.
pensing the patronage Incidental to it,
have become more and more remote.
The unprecedented campaign against
Home Rule, unprecedented in its cost
and in the bitterness with which it has
been urged, has been part and parcel
of a well-conceived and boldly exc
cuted design to bluff the British peo-
pie with regard to ULSTER" and by
defeating the Home Rule Bill, to smash
the Government and the Parliament
Act, and to restore the fallen for
tunes of the Tory party. 1t is cal
culated that the campaign has cost two
million pounds during the past two or
three years, and that it is considered
impossible to keep it going for much
longer. That is why the Tory party
are in desperation.
The Army and Home Rule.
In order to protect Government
stores and buildings, it was decided,
at the end of last week to send GER
tain regiments, stationed at the Cur
ragh Camp. to Ulster. A number of
the officers of these regiments refused
to go. They would go to preserve
order. but not to fight the Carsonites.
The Tory Press did everything pos.
sible to make a sensation out of the
incident, and there was much excite
ment in London during the weekend,
frequent meetings of Cabinet Ministers
took place, and the King remained in
town, so as to be at hand for consul
tation. The Commander of the forces
in Ireland and three of the Principal
officers who had resigned were sum.

Manifesto of the Irish volunteers

At time when legislative pro-
posals, universally confessed to be of
vital concern for the future of Ire
land, have been put forward, and are
awaiting decision, plan has been
delib erately adopted by one of the
great Englis hpolitical parties, advo-
Gated by the leaders of that party
and by it's numerous organs in the
Press, and brought Systematically to
bear on English public opinion, to
make the display of military force
and the menace of armed violence
the determining factor in the future
relations between this country and
Great Britain.
The party which has thus substi-
tuted open force for the semb1apce
of civil government is seeking by this
means not merely to decide an imme-
diate political issue of grave concern
to this Nation, but also to obtain for
itself the future control of all our
national affairs. It is plain to every
man that the people of Ireland, if
they acquiesce in this new policy by
their inaction, will consent to the
surrender, not only of their rights as
a nation, but of their civic rights as
men. ...... ... .r.-
The Act of Union deprived the
Irish nation of the power to direct its
own course and to develop and use
its own resources for its own benefit.
It gave us instead the meager and
seldom effective right Of throwing
our votes into the vast and compli-
Gated movement of British politics.
Since the Act of Union, q long series
Of repressive statutes has endeavored
to deal with the incessant discomfort
of the Irish people by depfiving them
of various rights common to all who
live under the British Constitution.
The new policy goes further than the
Act Of Union, and further than all
subsequent coercion acts taken to-
