GALLANT SERVICE BY
 IRISH REGIMENTS
Stirring Accounts of Tenth Division Round Lake Dorian in
 Macedonia.

Correspondence of Associated Pressl
 Dublin, Ireland, Dec. 31.-The Irish people have recently been aroused by the reports of gallant service by the Irish regiments. Just as the Six teenth division of the new army, "The Irish Brigade" that rallied upon the invitation of MT. Redmond from the Irish National Volunteers, North and
 South, was preparing to go to the
 trenches, came stirring accounts of
 the deeds of the Tenth division round
 Lake Dorian in Macedonia. The Tenth division was the first purely Irish division to take part in the war.
 It received it's baptism of fire at Sulva Bay, and fresh from the ships was thrown against the entrenched positions on the Anafarta ridges No
 official account of it's valor in that desperate fight has yet appeared. But
 the unofficial accounts of the capture of Chocolate Hill and Dublin Hill by the Dublin Fusiliers and of the frontal attack by the Inniskillings on the Anafarta trenches, are among the
 most stirring chapters in Irelands S
 military annals. The Tenth division
 represented Ireland North and South, though drawn mainly from the South The general who organized it is an Irishman, General Sir Bryan Mahan a first cousin of Sir Edward Carson But close as the relationship of the soldier to the politician, the generals popularity is confined to no political party in Ireland. He is an Irishman 1 first and last and all the time, and full of pride in his Irish regiments For some reason yet unexplained he was not in command at Sulva Bay; but when the Saloniki expedition was decided upon he was given the com
 mand of the British forces, and among the first to land were the remnants
 of the gallant regiments that had
 fought around sulva Bay.
 To the gallantry of the Munster
 F'usliers, the Dublin Fusiliers and the Connaught Rangers the general as- crjbes the safe execution of the plan for the withdrawal to the Vardar
 And the generals censors have also allowed the press correspondents to describe the work of the regim ents. They state that but for the stand of the Tenth division and the fierceness
 of it's counter-attacks with bayonets when there was no artillery to help them, the retreat of both the French and the British armies would have
 been cut off and the orderly with drawal would have become a rout. Two companies of the 1nniskllllngs
 posted on a bluff held up the Bull
 Garian advance for a considerable time and stood their ground until they had fallen almost to a man.

Much Ado About a Gun.

What the president and the secre- tary of state who have the last word to say about the tragedy of the Per- sia are thinking now we have no means of knowing. Very sensibly they are saving their breath until they have definite facts to go upon. But from various facts in Washington we hear much chatter about the fact that the Persia carried a guE and that this fact makes the submarine attack upon her justified and the slaughter of women and children honorable war.
 We know enough of the president and Secretary Lansing, however, to believe that they will promptly repu- diate any such weak trucking to the Teuton campaign of wholesale mur- der on the high sea. We believe that they will regard as the vital thing about the Persia the fact that an of ficer of the United States met death upon her from the illegal operations of a submarine after both Germany and Austria had made solemn prom ise that no more such attacks should be made upon nOn-cOmhatantS.
 The United States early in the war declared upon the plain terms of in ternational law that passenger ves- sells and merchantmen were entitled to carry a gun for defensive purposes. That doctrine still stands and it re- moves the question from the realm of controversy altogether as far as the Persia is concerned. If the United States intends to alter international law in regard to the carrying of guns by vessels on peaceful errand it can make declaration to that effect when it pleases and govern itself accord ingly in future. But a statement of this sort made in the future cannot affect the past and the tragedy of the Persia is of the past .
 What the American people demand is that the president, the secretary of state and congress live up to the pro- fessions that we have made month

of the regiments has had an excellent effect in Ireland. It was an suspicious coincidence that the news should have come as the Irish Volunteers division was preparing to strike it's tents. The division was recently reviewed by the queen. One of the brigades is com posed almost wholly of Nationalists from Belfast and Derry. The regf- nnent contains some of the best fight ing material in Ireland: and the Irish public have followed every step of it's enrolment and training with unpre- cedented interest. Its new general, General Hickie, is Tipperary man.
 Meantime the enrolment of the re- serves for the various Irish brigades goes on. Fifty thousand men have been asked for within the year.
