From reading accounts day by

Far from it. During the day time

Ireland is under complete military

but, on the contrary, good-natured,
extremely polite and sociable to

Business men, however, tell me

practically free of tourists.
The movie theatres everywhere
are crowded of evenings and to hear
the roars of laughter and applause
that greet the antics Of Charlie

ARTICLE V.
BY c. c. LYON.

DUBLIN, Ireland, Nov. 2.-"Re-
publican" Ireland has practically
quit work pending the winning of
separation from the Births empire.
1t will attend to no business, how
ever vital, except the business of
making trouble for John Bull.
English rule is such an intolcr-
able abomination that no other sub
ject can reach the people," said one
brilliant Irishman. eve must out
wit, outstay, her; we must embar-
rass, bully, even conspire and assass-
mate when nothing except Irish poll
tics, politics, politics.
The average Irishman is born a
politician and his chief relief in life
just now seems to be talking about
the injustice and wrongs England
has inflicted on his unhappy coun-
try. And in detailing these wrongs,
he generally starts with the year
I'LL when King Henry ii of Eng
land, invaded Ireland, slaughtered
many of the populace and distributed
Ireland's fertile land among his Eng
fish followers
Everyweher in Ireland toady one
finds vast numbers of young men
standing on the street corners, APP
parently with nothing to do.
The Republican government has
forbidden them to leave the coun-
try during the present troubles. If
it comes to open warfare with Brit
ain they'll be needed at home.
In an authorized interview given
the Paris Journal some time ago,
Lord French, then lord lieutenant of
ireland, said: "The principal cause
of the trouble in Ireland is that for
five years emigration has practical
ly ceased. There are 100000 of
100000 young men here, of from 18
