not think it worth while to estab-
lish Home Rule after centuries
and centuries OF oppression, the
history of which is the darkest on
record. Ireland's nationality has
been heard from through the re-
volt which has recently taken
place. Ireland has been driven to
arms by resentment of the treat
ment accorded her. Revolution
was the only means by which the
true voice of Ireland could be ex-
pressed. OF all nationalities, the
Irish nationality is the most diff
ficult to suppress and destroy.
For nearly two years, Britain
placed no obstacles in the way of
the Unionists of the North of Ire
land who were openly advocating
and financing civil war in Ireland.
Orange money and the Orange
press disgraced Irish history by
encouraging revolt under the lead
ership of Sir Edward Carson.
Against this armed defiance to
Home Rule under the leadership
of Carson, the Irish Volunteers
prepared themselves by importing
arms for their own defense. Be
fore the European war broke out
the Volunteers determined to ex-
ercise their rights and arm them
selves to protect their liberties
against the menace of the armed
Orange organizations of the I'm
ionists of Ulster. Proc1amations
were Immediately issued against
the importation of arms into Ire
land. This proclamation was is
sued by the government when the
announcement was made of the
organization of the Irish Volun-
teers. Notwithstanding the proc
lamation, a cargo of arms arrived
at Belfast and was distributed to
various parts of Ulster, while the
Irish Volunteers were prevented
from acquiring arms. Attempts
were made through various agen-
cics to smugglc arms into Ireland
for the Irish Volunteers. This re-
suited in massacre of men, wom-
en- and children in the streets OF
Dublin two years ago, SO deter
mined were the Irish Constabu-
larry that the Irish Volunteers
should not be armed. Sir John
French was sent by the govern
ment to deal with the Ulster fore
cs, with Carson's Army. The en-
tire military organization mutt
MED, rather than obey the orders
lot the government. This same
man, Sir John French, was after
ward placed in charge Of the Eng
lish armies operating in France.
The members of the Irish Volun:
tecrs iii Dublin knew that within
the course of a few days or with
in the course of few weeks at the
most, they would be disarmed.
They determined to make the
most OF their equipment, choosing
to die in Ireland rather than die
fighting in the trenches against
the Germans under the British
flag. Consumption was coming.
They knew it. 1t had been poten-
TALLY enforced in Ireland since the
war broke out. Now that general
conscription is being considered
by Britain, the talk is to include
Ireland. England has been
awaiting her chance to deal a
heavy blow to Ireland since the
war started. One London paper
stated that the outbreak gave the
government the opportunity they
desired to deal with the Irish Sit
