DUBLIN. November 2s.-An interest
ing secret circular Of the Shnn FEN
volunteers has been disclosed py a
widely known Wexford priest, Father
David Bolger. 1t emphasizes the pol
icy of physical force and directA VOL
unteers to obey no orders save those
Of its executive. In return the leaAaers
guarantee they will not Issue an Or
der to take the field until they con-
slider the force in a position to wage
war on the enemy with reasonable
hopes OF success"
Father Bolger translates this to mean
that "if Germany is able she Will hand
a few thousand rifles to our brave
lads with which to attack Englands
power" He recalls the two previous at
tempts of Germany in this direction
and adds:
Predicts Third Attempt
The third time will come. 1t is Ger
tain Germany will again try to use
Ireland as a pawn in the game. Ger.
to use her. The kaiser Will use or
abuse Ireland as he abused Belgium
when 1t suits him"
The circular has attracted nuch at.
tention and will strengthen the enect
of the warning to his people gwen III
his advent pastoral by Cardinal Losue'
who declares the agitation no" sPr
ing is sure to end in future oisastei'
defeat and collapse.
"Pursuit Of Dream"
This" says his eminence. is IN
pursuit. of a dream which no man In
his sober senses can hope to sec reah1eo
the establishment of an Irish repup-
lfc-either by an appeal to the poten-
tates of Europe at the peace conIe,-
ence or by an appeal to force by hurl-
ing an unarmed people against an en-
pire which has 100000 men unaer
arms, furnished with the most terrible
engines of destruction that human IN
genuity could devise"
Critics of various schools think they
see In recent speeches of De valera a
distinct change Of front He Is less
violent about Ulster. declaring England
could settle the Ulster question II II
pleased.
"If anything comes out of the Irish
convention" he said recently. which
favors the cause Of Irish freedom. we
shall not refuse payment on account
unless it Is intended to keep US out OF
the whole thing"

heavy preliminary artillery work, "went over

This surprise could not be possible were the
Germans served by their airplane forces as for

only five German planes, before or during the en-
tire proceedings, along the whole line.
Evidently, the British claim of supremacy of
