PROPOSE TO CUT
IRELAND ADRIFT
British Leaders Would Withdraw
Every Vestige Of Great Britain's
Control From Island

The British government Is now con-
sidering the most amazing proposition
for dealing with. the Irish question that
has ever been placed before it. 1t is a
scheme forthe complete diplomatic and
govrnmental isolation Of the entire is
land. In other words every Yestige of
British control, either military of gov
enmental, would be withdrawn at once
from the island, and the Irish. them
selves would be left to sink or swim in
and endeavor to work out their own
salvation

The looks are those of the soldiers

A bit of bronze on the breast Is pinned,
And the wavering ranks are Scared

But see through the mist Of years

l see by the fash in the veterans eye
a Nation saved by soldiers deed,
When the little blue squad is march,
ing by.
with blossoms red and white and blue,
AS thick as ever the bullets few.
The children cherish the old Flag now
And place loves wreath on the soldiers
brow.
A grateful people kiss the scars
OF the men who fought and dared to
die,
And they dip the Flag that is fun of
stars
when the little blue squad goes
marching by.

Breathe softly, winds of heaven,
For to the skies ascends
The incense of sweet offerings,
While honor with II blends.
Each grave becomes an altar;
The sacrifice was made.
While on his country's altar
The soldiers life was laid.
Shine clearly. sun of radiance,
And let thy genial light,
A halo shed OF glory,
To crown the cause OF right.
The deeds of worthy heroes
VIII live from age to age,
AS clear and bright as sunbeams,
On history's written page.
Bloom brightly. flowers of beauty:
The red OF southern rose,
The blue, like sky OF azure,
The white, like northern SHOWS.
Each lily-cup a censor
From which fragrant breath
OF gratitude is waited
To those who sleep in death.
Sing sweetly, birds of spring time;
Let music fiji the air;
Your joyous songs of freedom
Are echoing everywhere.
Oh, may some sweet-voiced songster
Above each soldiers grave,
Sing in his clearest accents.
A requiem for the brave.
Then when the watch stars cleaning
With steady, peaceful light,
Look down upon our country,
On this memorial night,
May each grave they have guarded
So tendsrly and long.
To-day have been remembered
BY blossoms and by song.
