family. This had been done away
with as soon as II was discovered,
he stated.

so we'll know where to look the next
time you disappear"
"Ah, now. You'll have to do better
than the British Secret Service if
ever you start looking for me-"
The brown eyes twinkled be-
hind his rimless noseglasses and he
began to grin at some recollection
Of outwitting that secret service, the
sport of sports in Ireland to-day.
When he grins, three vertical lines
appear on either side of his mouth
in the region where some persons,
not revolutionary leaders, have
dimples.
"Mr. President" reporter asked,
"do you propose to spend any Of the
money raised in this country through
the sale Of bonds for arms and
munitions with which to fight Eng
land? I'd like you to answer yes
or no."
CHOW don't be asking for yes and
no answers or I'll have to ask you
that old one: Have you left off
beatin' your wife?' I'll tell you this
for your question: The money will
be used for the purposes of the Irish
government. The Irish government
will strive to function in every way
that a country can function"
The Sim Fem leader reached for
ward and clasped his dark blue silk
incased ankle where it rested on his
knee. His was one Of the few
straight backed, armless chairs in

all the comfortable chairs and divans

Some one asked Professor de

II told you I had tried to find the
place, so If I tell you that I'd be

you know, and then you must take a
ride through the parks"
De Valera glanced at q watch
strapped to his wrist. Then he
said:
~ can't take a ride. I've got far
too much to do"
mo, you've got to take the ride"
insisted Boland; but de Valera said
mo" fatty, and turned his attention
to the other Irish patriots who had
been waiting for him.
"If you could only know the dea.
man like ! know him. wished Mr..
+ Boland. eff it seems strange to you
that he should fit through Brit
ish barriers, in and out of jails and
suchlike, you've only got to remember
that in Ireland five men out Of
six are prepared to die for him.
= "These last few years have been
wonderful years to me. Full of ex-
element they've been. The most
wonderful time was lying behind the
barricades during Easter Week.
That was excitement for you. We
lost about 65 men killed and tn:

with his little battalion he stood
off three British divisions for days.
A wonderful strategist he is. The
British will tell you so. There was
building that stood between the
house in which he was and the bar
racks at which he was sniping.
"I'l! make the British clear that
out Of my way he said. Then he
had an Irish flag hoisted on the roof
of the obstructing building. The
British decided that the building was
filed with Irish and they opened on
it with artillery. A few shells and
they had levelled the building. After
that de Valera's shippers had a clear
shot at the barracks"

countered by asking who had told
that he visited Cardinal Gibbons.
There is one infallible way to in
terpret my actions" said de Valera.
Every act Of mine is calculated to
advance the cause of Irish freedom"
Just then waiter carried in a
table. 1t was near lunch time. The
only food on it was a fruit salad.
English prison diet destroyed my
appetite" explained the Irish leader,
barking back to his days in Lincoln
prison. II never think of food now
and have to be reminded that it is
time to eat, as a rule, for I become
deeply absorbed in my work. I am
quite honest in saying that food
doesn't interest me any more"
De Valera was asked if he didn't
think England would construe as an
unfriendly act non-interference by
the United States with his efforts
to float bond issue and to gain aid
for an Irish revolution.
England will consider anything
unfriendly that interferes with her
wishes in the slightest. 1t will be
like Turk who has abducted a
young girl and placed her in his
harem. The girl is wildly anxious
to escape, but if you should seek to
aid her he would begin to yell that
you were Decorating the sanctity of
his home. AS if his home had any
sanctityw
knowing that England will re-
sent it, Professor de Valera, don't
you think it is likely that the United
States government will be annoyed
by your efforts?"
"Well, now, I'll tell you. always
like to bid the devil good-morrow

the United States was to his mother,
in Rochester, N. Y. It. had been
twelve years since he saw her last
in Ireland, and then only for a short
time, and the last time before that
was nineteen years earlier, when
he was slender, black haired, ia
therless boy Of six years.
When this tall man Of many ad-
ventures was two and a half years
old his father died and his mother
returned to Ireland with her baby
son. She married again, becoming
Mrs. Charles Wheelwright, and lived
once more in America, raising
another son, Thomas Wheelwright,
to be a priest of the Roman Catho-
lie Church, while little Edward grew
up in Ireland, a lonely, studious
soul who learned to hate England
before he had learned to love.
Reminded of his American birth
and consequent American citizen
ship, Professor de Valera said:
$50 far as my will and my desire
are concerned I am Irish. I've never
wanted to be anything else and l
acknowledge no allegiance to any
other country or people.
international law may disagree
with that, but international law to
my mind is sort of rules of con-
duct among thieves. There is a
deeper law than the law of nations
or of municipalities. The law of
humanity is the most fundamental
of all. By the law Of humanity
am Irish. One thing I am certain of !:
Under no law on earth am |
British citizen"
AS the Sim Feiner talked he
seemed to expand with a sense of
wrong and his chin rose until his
Adams apple throbbed above his
high white collar.
There is no agreement and no
contract by which England has any
right to Ireland. Very likely the
peace treaty will be signed by her
representatives for the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire
land Go back to that combina-
ton and you will find that it was
brought about by trickery and
fraud. We regard that England
