A New Story

49, n rev OlO1ya
Mr.. A S. Kingsford said: I'm the
sptendidly and carefully prepared pa
per. theresis one trouble, j. e.. it is all
wrong" and SO you printed him. /
confess did not recognize that "splen-
didly and carefully prepared paper in
the review given of the Fortnightly
club in your issue of Saturday. But
am told that is often the case when
the printer man has finished. Any
way you could hardly expect me to
recognize the child Of my brain when
J. was "all wrong" and Mr.. A S. Kings
ford was all right. I do not want to
take one bit of glory from Mr.. A. S.
Kingsford, because [ do not need it.
to keep him right, SO the "rebellion"
Cromwell came to Ireland to quell
was this: In five of the northern coun-
tries the entire population was driven
out. Those that were not killed were
driven to take refuge in the mountains.
All their lands and possessions were
confiscated and given over to a horde
Of King James followers, who were
brought from England and Scotland
for this purpose. When these refu-
gees, who lived in the mountain wilds
Ike hunted animals, gained strength,
they swooped down on the invading
plunderers and tried to recover their
lands and homes-just as Mr.. A. S.
Kingsford would do If ne were driven
from his home and made to take ref
uge in the Merrimack bluffs. When
he recovered his wind and power of
locomotion he, too. would "swoop''
down upon the invader of his home
stead and try to recover it. OF course
he would, because he is all right. |
cannot be "aii wrong" in this.
To suppress this rebellion" the
whole Of Englands carefully nurtured
flower of the Puritan army were re-
leased in Ireland. The people were
burned and brutally butchered for
trying to recover their homes. Will
the careful student of history" please
read the Protestant minister, Rev
Ferdinand Warner, on this subject. or
DR.. Taylor in his Civil Wars of Ireland
protestant historian)
Dear Mr.. Editor, after how many
years does injustice become justice?
Let us find "some Cromwell guiltless
of his country's blood as a leader Of
freedom.
Mr.. A. S. Kingsford said it ''stirred
him to his depths" to say Mr.. Lloyd
George sold home rule to secure Tory
already won; or was it home rule that
"stirred his depths? Anyway he was
all Stirred up" The story of Mr..
Lloyd George and the Tories form a
leading article in the February Allan
tic. 1t was Mr.. Lloyd George who
coined the word differentiation"
The statistics given in the "splendidly
and carefully prepared" paper are TAX
en- from Whitakef's Almanac, 1917, an
AUTHORITY on statistics, and printed IN
London, Dublin and New York. 1t
says Dublin Castle rule cost Ireland
100000, 900 for that year. The cost of
police force per head was $1.60. The
tax per individual is ct at the present
time.
| did not think | was cit | was
only telling about it, and am giving
figures that people are usually willing
to accept as correct, coming from the
above source.
AS to the matter of Ireland's man
power: After a careful census Ire
lands war quota was assessed at 160,-
600 men. Before the United States en-
tered the war Ireland had contributed
171,000 volunteers and 10000 native
born Irish residing in London. | can
not juggle figures as can some, be-
cause am "all wrong" any way. But
| think if Ireland's quota should have
been 100000 meH when her population
all told is a little less than 100000,
at that rate the United States, at the
rate of her population. would have had
to furnish about eleven million men
| think Mr.. A S. Kingsford will have
to learn a new story, The old one has
been over-worked anyway.
Thank you, Mr.: Editor, | am having
g. good time.
MRS. HUGH KELLEY.
