days.
The story of the self-starvation of
Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor of
Cork, probably will become one of the
most moving chapter of the centuries
long history of the Irish struggle. No
other controversy has stirred Great
Britain so deeply as this since the
| one that centered upon Cecil Rhodes,
when the Jameson raid was baked by
Paul Kruger and the raiders impris-

he was found guilty of sedition and
sentenced to two years Imprisonment

| MacSwiney, then an alderman of

which soldiers had surrounded, but was
captured outside. He was taken to
the military barracks and came up for
trial on August 16. The courtmartial
found him guilty of having control of
the secret police cipher, of having in
his possession a document likely to
cause disaffection, namely copy of
a resolution of the Cork corporation
pledging allegiance to Dali Eireann,
the Irish Republican parliament. and
of having made a seditious speech on
the occasion of his election.

of his refusal to take food MacSwiney,

saying: Il am the lord mayor of this
city and its chief magistrate. l declare
this court Illegal and those taking part

Mayor MacSwiney was deported to En-

heavy military escort, and was lodged
In Brixton Jail. The government an
nounced on August 10 that he was
sentenced to two years Imprisonment.
MacSwiney's hunger strike brought
numerous solicitations and protests to
the British authorities, many of the
appeals being from sympathizers in
the United States.
Even a threat from the Sim Fein in
Ireland. that in the event of his death,
a general strike and serious distur-
Dances would prevail throughout the
island.
An appeal was taken directly to the
