Copyright, 1915, By the Mcclure Ns~spzper

Somewhere in England, st. Patrick's
Day.-The Kings voice was a triie
husky. It was no public function, and
felt that he was alone with his troops.
Stsndtng in the midst Of a small bar
racks square in the country a mile from
brawny Irishnen now trained and ready
to take the places Of their comrades who
have fallen at the front, he had compli-
mented the third reserve battalion Of the
Irish Guards on the splendid showing OF
its regiment in the field.
There were tears Of pride and pity in
the Kings eyes, pride for the heroism
Of these mems comrades, pity for the
hundreds who have fallen, and perhaps
for these eager warriors so many oi
whom. he knows, must soon suffer in up
holding the glorious, IL brand new, .honors
Of their organization. After twenty-eight
days OF lncessant lighting against heavy
Odds" the king faltered, your battalion
came out Of line less than a company
strong, with only four officers, a glorious
tribute to Irish loyalty and endurance. u
He was speaking of the battle of Ypres
The iron discipline which held the
soldiers fast in their ranks faltered
for moment The men wanted to
shout their appreciation and love, but
his majesty pulled himself together
and went on in a strong voice, which
semed to me like that Of Roosevelt,

which Queen Mary had just distrib-
uted and which each man wore in his
