DE VALERA UNTRuTHFuL.
Irish Soldiers Surprised At Speeches.

Dublin, Jan S.-Eamonn Do VAL
era's speeches in America with regard
to the part played by Irish soldiers IN
the war have been read In Ireland
with some surprise, and II II pointed
out here that in this matter Mr.. De
VaIera's sentiments differ a good deal
from those of his supporters. Cap
tain Mwalter, a Dublin physician and
member of the Dublin municipal coun-
Gil who served thruout the war In the
army medical corps, writes as follows
in the Dublin press:
"All the ex-seryice men, and there
are over 10000 of US, were pleased to
find Mr.. De Valera assuring his Amer
lean audience that we fought for q
principle and that Irishmen In the
earlier days Of the war rushed to the
ranks in overwhelming numbers. But
whilst Mr.. De Valera rightly inter-
prets our position to the Americans his
followers and supporters in Dublin
never cease to pour contumely on
Irish soldiers and to heap every indig-
nifty possible upon them.
Returned soldiers are treated -
lepers rather than as heroes. Men who
had not the maniiness to fight either
in the army or in the rebellion now
