Three Other Groups

RESIDES Sim Fein, which stands,
as can be seen, for complete in
dependence, however secured, there
are in the South of Ireland sthree
other political groups, to one or
more of which, of course, every one
belongs.
There are the Nationalists, who
believe in Ireland as a nation, but
do not profess to go so far as Sim
Fein in securing this. Then there
are the Dominion Home Rulers,
those who want for Ireland the sort
of home rule enjoyed by Canada at
the present time, comprising virtu-
ally economic independence and the
freedom of raising armies and ma
vies and collecting taxes.
Lastly, one finds as most moderate

All these things are going on
nightly, Sim Fein claims and be-
lieves, and in that belief justifles,
in q measure, this crimes laid at its
door.
There is another phase Of the
situation which must be considered.
The crimes, murders and burglaries
committed in Ireland to-day are by
no means entirely the act Of Sim
Feiners or their synpathizers. 1t
is Sim Fein's claim that a great
majority is not. To ex-soldiers of
the criminal class and INHALED out
laws they rightly attribute most Of
the outrages which, described in the
press as "Sinn Fein crimes" are fire.

CHAPTER III
Arthur Griffith
Of 1916

r FOUND the "Acting President
L. Of the Irish Republic" a short
stocky man, with iron-gray hair and
violently waxed mustache, watery
eyes concealed behind double-l -lensed
glasses, plainly dressed and wearing
a tan raincoat and soft felt hat. He
was the antithesis of my anticipa-
ton. There is nothing of the fiery
leader of lost cause about Griffith.
Nor is there in his manner of speech.
He sits stolidly, internationally, an
swering questions with precision but
without originality, displaying a
marvellous grasp on Irish history and
Irish economics, from the Sim Fein
point of view. AS a prompter he
had at his elbow the best known of
Sim Fein press agents.
There was little new for America
in what Griffith had to say. He
could repeat verbatim statements
from any of the Sim Fein leaflets
which busy press bureau has in
flicted upon the world for the last
six months. The arguments are
good, but they are all one sided.
Irishmen won't take one set of ad-
mitted facts and argue about them
each has his own complement.
Griffith preferred refuting argu-
ments of Ulster and England to ad-
vocating those of his own. l was
interested in hearing his justifica-
ton of Sim Fein's part in the recent
wave of crime which has partly en-
gulfed Ireland and probably done
more than anything else to ALLEVIATE
public sympathy.
His reply to the question "Do you
want to deny, or justify, the recent
murders attributed to Sim Fein?"
was quite as general as that which
/ have outlined above.
(1) Sim Fein didn't commit all
the crimes with which it was charged.
Ex-soldiers and criminals generally
were responsible for q majority Of
them.

the population Of the South and West,
it is little wonder that there is un-
rest. For the most part, they want
varying degrees of independence
from Great Britain. If we are to
take hasty glance at the people Of
the North, there will be no time in
this article to enter upon a discus
sion of the impracticability or the
Justice of their wants. Suffice it to
say this - although each group
turned out its best and most con-
vincing attorneys in an attempt to
prove to me the practicability of it's
scheme, there was not one of the
whole lot which did not fail to do
so. I had come to Ireland with the
preconceived notion that there must
be some way out. And l am going
back, admitting defeat. For, SYM
pathetic as was with the Southern
point of view and plausible as their
arguments sounded, l found time to
ask each:
What about Ulster?"
And the reply was invariably en-
phatic and uncomplimentary to VI
ster.

evidence. There is a lot Of "leg-
pulling" favorite sport Of Irishmen,
going on about this mysterious force,
but since the dangerous areas In
Ireland have been proclaimed and
put under martial law there has
been more fancy than fact abroad
about these troops.
It seems strange to an outsider
coming TO Ireland for the first time
to find Sim Feiners walking abroad
in the streets at every turn, even
those known to be wanted" by the
police, many Of whom have escaped
from the prisons to which they were
consigned for political offenses. But
even their leader himself, or deputy
leader, during de Valera's absence
in the United States, Arthur Griffith,
walks the streets in perfect freedom.
l sat for two hours talking with
Griffith in little front parlor whose
windows were uncurtained and
looked out upon St. Stephens Green,
scene of so many recent disturbances.
Policemen walked past at frequent
intervals, looked in, but paid no at
tention to the chief of the rebels.
For my benefit, when l first
sought to interview Griffith, there
was arranged an elaborate bit of
horseplay which deceived no one. I
was mysteriously informed by tele-
phone one afternoon:
"He is there now"
This cryptic message was followed
by the sudden appearance Of Sim
Fein press agent who, with solem-
nifty befitting the occasion, conduct
ed me on foot through dark Dublin
streets until we arrived at a coal
office, a short distance from the
police headquarters. Here, after
mysterious rappings, the door was
opened and / was conducted into
pitch-black alleyway, where I was
told to stand. My guide disappeared.
I stood for nearly fifteen minutes.
Then he reappeared with the infor-
nation that Griffith could not be
seen, and / was ushered out.
All this for the benefit of a tenn
peramental American reporter; for
the next afternoon Griffith was to
be seen. not only by me but by any

CHAPTER II
What Sinn Fein Is

CHM FEN is the biggest, the most
misunderstood thing in Ireland
to-day. 1t is at once the most COM
plete and the most elastic organiza-
ton Of it's kind with which a mother
country has ever had to contend. 1t
is founded upon natural sentiment
and based upon those sincere, If
misguided, convictions which must
underlie every successful revolu-
tionary movement. 1t believes in
an independent Ireland. In its be-
lief it overlooks two main considera-
tions: First, it would be impracti-
cable for England to have an inde-
pendent and unsympathetic Ireland
ever at her elbow; second, con-
siderable proportion of the Irish peo-
pie, those in the North, do not de-
sire that independence.
Sim Fein has grown from secret
society to the most powerful politi-
cal organization in Ireland. AL
though hampered in many ways by
official hostility, its members swept
the recent proportional representa-
ton elections, and, combined with
labor, Sim Fein put in more candi-
dates than all other parties COM
bined.
Its members ara now, for Tie most

best (and, Of course, the worst) type
of young 1rishmen, who, prevented
by the war from emigrating to
America, have taken up politics at
home and have entered heart and
soul into the game of delivering Ire
land from England. 1t was surpris-
ing to find them, for the most part,
extremely clean-living. learned
that their leaders are bound to strict
temperance, their active members to
sobriety. But they are rebels, every
one Of them, and as long as British
law Is dominant in a British possess
sion they will always be in the
wrong.
I have said that Sim Fein's or
ganization Is complete and elastic.
1t Is complete in that its under
ground information system is the
most perfect I have ever encoun-
tered. After I had been in Ireland
twenty-four hours failed to meet a
Sim Feiner who could not tell me
all about myself, where l was stay
ing, why had come to Ireland and
where / had been at o'clock the
preceding day. It's rules are obeyed,
it's leaders recognized.
The report that a large element
is getting out of hand proved un-
founded. But Sim Fein is elastic
in that it has the sympathy Of nine
! out of every ten persons south of
Ireland's mason and Dixon line"

Of the ''crirne" consists in individual
feuds between police and citizens.
The trouble is that the spotlight Of
en- unsympathetic press is instantly
turned on every crime and deed Of
violence in such way as to make 1t
appear part of q general rebellious
movement among that section of
the Irish people which desires inde-
pendence. Whereas, In majority Of
cases, this Is not 80.
The "state Of rebellion" exists. But
only, at present, In the minds Of the
people. Ireland is by no means on
the brink Of revolution. There are
many IN Ireland who would like to
start one, but they lack the power
as yet; the country Is not prepared
for an open break and a revolution
would be broken before it fairly be-
gap. l am convinced of one thing
with proper exercise Of authority on
tic nart of the military (and this is
most important aspect Of the situa-
tion), whatever rebellion is smolder-
Ing at present can be postponed, per-
haps to that indefinite day when
some one will hit upon q practicable
solution Of the problem.

listers greatest pride, next to her
industries, or perhaps even ahead
Of them, is her participation in the
war and the splendid record of
Ulster troops. Where the South Of
Ireland holds up as one Of the
gravest injustices from which it
suffers, the fact that Ireland is taxed
to pay the British war debt, the
fisherman says with pride:
1--WE want to pay our share Of
the debt. We're part of Britain
and We'll bear our share of her
burdens"
listers greatest fear is that some
form Of independence or separation
from England will come to Ireland,
in which case the North, being In
the minority, will lie at the mercy
Of the hostile South. They tell you
tales of "Ulster volunteers" armed
and ready, by the thousands, to re.
sist coercion from the South.
Probably there would be put up
a certain amount of desperate armed
resistance, although the South Of
Ireland leaders scott at the idea.
Arthur Griffith pointed out to me
how upon three previous occasions
within a century Ulster had threat
ened to fight if certain measures
were put through, and how upon
each occasion they had failed to do
SO. Be that as it may, there IL
something very businesslike and
quietly determined about listers
preparations for break.
Businesslike is the adjective which
gives one the keynote Of Belfast,
and Of the majority Of Ulstermen.
Whereas, in the South the people
are sentimental, and feel with their
hearts, the people of the North are
practical, and think with their heads.
They have no more sympathy in
Belfast with Sim Fein or National
ist aspirations than have the men
of the South for Ulster complacency,
But they argue as follows:
"To go back to the beginning, we
admit that Ireland has been misgov-
erned in the past. But what did we
do? Did we sit down and whine
about it, as they did in the South?
We went to work. We built up the
city which you see here to-day, as
much like an American city as any
in Europe. From a town Of 10000
we have risen to metropolis of
100000. We were almost cut Off
from the sea by great mudfiats.
We drained and excavated and de-
veloped the largest shipbuilding in
dustry in the world. We have the
greatest fiax-spinning factories; one
Of the largest liquor industries; some
of the finest municipal buildings in
the whole United Kingdom.
Whenever improvements were
made in Ireland, from time to time.
it was the South which benefited.
We never had penny to build up
our businesses, they are all the re-
suit Of private enterprise. Today
