The Red Hand of Ulster as its mot
to makes clear. is a friendly and not
a threatening hand" says Captain
written book on The Soul of Ulster"
tDuttoni Its sinister color, founded
on legend. was painted many hundred
years before Ulster was planted with
British colonists. and must not be
taken as indicative of its habits or
designs. 1t was adopted by Ulstermen
ready painted. and-red as it vast
is the hand of good will. and never
yet has il been raised by them against
neighbor. except in self defence.
In very clever and logical manner
with an orderly arrany of historical
facts and records, Captain Hamilton
gives the Irish question from the
Ulster viewpoint.
Speaking of the aid given by philan-
thropic landowners during the famine
period in the way of food, attendance
in sickness tmany died of disease con-
tracted on such kindly errands), and
thousands of pounds to carry the sur
plus population to America. he says:
There is method-and very sys.e-

nothing of the circumstances-it is
easy for the agitator to draw up a
moving picture of injustice. The
policy of the protestants toward the

He calls attention to the fact that.
whereas Napier Tandy pathertical.y
complains: They're hangin' men and
women for the wearin' Of the green.
II was not for that, but for a success
sion OF particularly cold-blooded muir
|edrs that the hangings in question took
place. To the native mind they were
not murders at all, but justifiable and
even glorious acts of war. because in
furtheranee of the sacred cause. u
must be remembered before conducins
such a point OF view, that the native
mind has for centuries been trained
to the idea that art of war lies in the
attack OF the defenceless and the
avoidance of the strong. This fixed idea
is reflected throughout the history Of
the country. They see no ethical differ
ence between the killing Of a hundred
enemy soldiers in battle and the kill.
ing of hundred enemy neighbors in
cold blood. except that the latter is tn.
safer and therefore the preferable
course. Ii therefore arouses honest and
genuine surprise and indignation when
those convicted of unprovoked MUIR
ders are not treated as honorable
prisoners of war"
