PUBLIC MEETINGS FOR

made by some Of its subordinates
which had resulted in the stopping
by force of many football games,
dances and concerts. The pr0clama'

cessions, and assemblies without a
permit. The permit Is given as a
matter of course except where dis
turbance, sedition, or pro-German
propaganda is feared. There was a
universal refusal to apply for per-
mits at all.
Many policemen throughout the
country misconstrued the proclama-
tion and applied Its prohibitions in.
discriminatory, suppressing assem-
blies for games and amusements
which could not have been within the
contemplation of the government.
AS a protest Gaelic Sunday" was
organized, and 1t was decided to car
ry on the games in pretty nearly ev-
cry parish in Ireland in defiance Of
the police. The government had,
however in the meantime, defined
more accurately for the police the
real intentions of the proclamation,
and the demonstrators were accord
ingly allowed to hold their games ev-
erywhere without any interference.
AS often happens in Ireland, what
threatened to be a day Of general
conflict turned out to be quite peace

bought. The chick did not live long,
however. and the boys foraged around
a bit and got another young chick,
with whom Army grub agreed, as he
is growing and is now the company

few stunts. The lads in khaki are
progressing rapidly with French
