Protestant Rebels in Ireland.
From The Detroit JournaD

The notion is entertained by not few in
telhgent people that the rebellion IN Ireland
partakes of religious nature. This IS very
far from the mark.
Practically all Of the Irish rebel leaders III
this and in every preceding rebellion nave
been Protestants, though the bulk OF their
followers have been Catholics
Sir Roger Easement is a North Of Ireland
man Of pure English Protestant stock Jo-
semi Pearse was Protestant Of English de
scent. Wolfe Tone, Robert Emmett, Lord 3D.
ward Fitzgerald, William Smith O'Buen,
Grattan. Parnell and the Plunketts were all
Protestants.
Even in Ulster not all Protestants by any
means are Orangemen. Many OF the Prot
estants. NJ Ulster are Home Rulers. So even
are some Of the Orangemen. PIN and Mel
loves. who were arrested in Limerick few
months ago for discouraging recruiting, were
Protestants Professor Paul Chevasse, OF
Oxford. who was arrested in Cork for SPEAK
inc Gaelic few weeks ago, is an English
Protestant.
In fact. the leaders Of the modern lrsn
school Of Gaelic revivalists who organized
The Sim Fein intellectual movement, Ireland
for the Irish. were practically all Protestants'
and in some respects their work was OPP
nosed bv the Catholic Church, though sup
norted bv the rank and file. That remarka-
HE school Of new singers, Yeats, Synge and
Lady Gregory, are Protestants, as was the 81.
Fndas school, whose instructors were exc
cuted.
With these essential facts in mind, one can
get clearer idea of the Irish movement
,rbicb starting as an intellectual idea was
forced into a futile and altogether mad re-
bellion bv the whip Of the recruiting officers.
Rack Of il all is not the obsolete religious
orestion. hut the fundamental feeling OF a
race for national expression.

|, New York a Community?

The honored theory that New York has
no community spirit is directly challenged
at the City College Stadium, where APP
pears what Messrs. Barnum and Bailey
would have accurately called the mammoth
show of "Caliban." Community Masque
is the official title, and the avowed hope OF
those who have toiled hardest for the spec
tacle is that something more than the
atrical success will be achieved. A uniting
of the entire city, rebirth Of local pride
and civic spirit, is the ambitious goal fore
seen.
Without expecting miracles or setting
too much store by the future, 1t is to be
written down at once that here and now
the stadium holds quite the most eXtraor-
binary outpouring of concerted effort and
good will that the city has seen. In sheer
scale of contribution it is colossal. For
the groups representative colleges, the
schools. the clubs-no such minging of
the countless elements which go to make
up the city's artistic and intellectual life
has ever been attempted. Whatever the
effect for the future, the present demon
stration of a real and existing community
spirit is altogether noteworthy. In itself,
it amply justifes the large aims of the
promoters.
Just how much gain in community feel
ing can actually grow year by year from
such a symbol remains to be seen. A
swimming hole manufactures community
sentiment SO does a village baseball
game. But there you start with a uni
formity of type wholly different from our
patchwork New York. Not huge size but
endless variety of population forms the
chief obstacle to that MISUNDERSTANDING
which is the true basis of community
shirt. We like TO think that our city does
grip her people in some mysterious way
bv sheer amazingness of bulk and speed
and light. perhaps. 1t is on the side OF
the extraordinary spectacle in the stadium
that it does typify exactly these qualities.
Il does not represent New York by any
token or set design; it does strike across
the imagination in scale and character
with all that makes the city great.
The success of "Caliban" is unmistaka-
bic. It's failures can easily be avoided in
another year. Fewer words and simpler
pantomime must be the guiding marks If
the present gigantic scale is to be pre-
served. A pageant and not masque, IN
short. But these shortcomings are small
enough. The spectacle witnesses both skill
and daring. All the arts speak IN the
stadium. and all with a vigor and fresh
ness to be proud Of.

Instead Of that he ran TO cover behind
the 1msy plea that he had never seen the
Fiske report or even heard Of IT. Nor
has he now the manliness to apologize
directly for the imputation which he un-
justly cast upon the veracity and honor OF
distinguished subordinate. He gets the
President TO make his excuses for him
through the medium of letter written
to a semi-public organization.
But is anybody surprised? Far from IT,

OUR KIND OF PREPAREDNESS
An Uncensored Letter from the Front in
Mexico Tells Something About It,

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: A. this time, when hardly a week
passes without our restless Mexican neigh
bors furnishing US with most practical dem
onstratons Of our inability TO protect even
our shortest frontier, it is surprising, to say
the least 10 meet occasionally an opponent
OF preparedness. Only the other day a pac-
fist friend Of mine remarked that this coun-
try could raise an army of million men
overnight. My answer to this statement if
made 10 me to-day would be TO read few
sentences from a letter | just received from
New Mexico. The writer is a young man in
the United States cavalry at present in Mex
leo; he is not dissatisfied grumbler but has
bright, cheerful disposition; he is a soldier
by choice not by necessity. and comes OF a
family of soldiers, both his father and grand
father having served their country faith
fully.
The letters received from him up to the
latest one have all been strictly censored,
and were merely recitals of the routine
duties of the march, as nothing else was al
lowed to pass But recently he has returned
to the American border, and now for once
he is able TO express his true feelings. He
says:
I'VE had some rotten time Of it at the
front For many days we lived on nothing
but parched corn and hardtack. The first
days march from Columbus we made thirty
two miles, twenty-eight the next, thirty the
next nine the next and then forty-fve. Dur
ing the hike from Columbus at breakfast
they would issue each man six slices Of bacon
and eight pieces Of hardtack that consti-
tuted our breakfast and dinner; some meals
for a long hike. en-? Then whenever we
would hit camp we would have 70 attend the
horses. groom them. feed them and water
them before we got something to eat Then
we would not get enough 20 feed canary
One day we travelled thirty miles before hit
ting water; we nearly drowned ourselves
when we did find it," Now you can under
stand why the mail was censored
Such is the state of affairs in our army.
Every year millions are spent for good roads
for public buildings and for parks, and yet
the handful Of young men who volunteer 70
fight our battles for US are allowed TO 60
half starved,
Yes. we can raise an army Of a million over
night; but where can We get their equip
ment and where, above all alse, will We gel
the machinery necessary to provision these
men when away from their base of supplies
believe IN preparedness, real prepared
ness Of the German kind. where every man
az the outbreak of the war knew the dutv
ne was to perform and when he reported at
his barracks he there found his locker con-
tanning his entire equipment from his rife
70 his extra pair Of socks.
Preparedness means more than willingness
on the part of the men TO serve their coun-
try; IL means that there must be a machine
which If war were to be declared would au-
tomatically be set in motion, with every mar

and ready TO direct his energies ntellgently
