IRISH ARMY IS
CALLED" most
LOVAbLE"
Friendly, Not Familiar,
Men Call officers by
First Names.
BY EDNA HUBER CHURCH

81 EDNA III
IsIAEF coRREsPoNDENT 1. N. sERvlcEI
DUBLIN, Sept 81. The most lov-
able army in the whole wide world
is the Irish Free State army.
The Irish Free State army is ust
an infant army, both in personnel
and In age. The soldiers of the
army are mere boys carefree boys,
whose blue eyes snap and whose
lips are ever parted IN smiles.
Though in existence less than a
year this infant army has seen real
warfare and has beer whipped into
an efficient fighting force. 1t is
different from any other army In
the world-it wouldn't be Irish IL IL
weren't The Irish temperament Is
peculiar, and perhaps that IS why
the private soldiers of this army are
often heard to address their officers
as Dick and "Jim'-and II seems
that in this instance familiarity does
not breed contempt.
EMARrLY CARRIED
The Irish Army is smartly CARRIED
and presents a soldieriy appearance
with neat oive-green uniforms, black
caps, shiny leather puttees and brass
ortton-oh, such shiny brass but
tonsl---ap inscribed with the harp
Of Erin.
Ne one can doubt the courage OF
this Irish Army - courage stands
oas ali over the army Individually
and collectively, and fnen who night
IL must cope with unseen enemies
fighting from housetops and throw
ing bombs from behind stone walls
must be men OF courage. and these
are boys OF courage The average
agv OF this army Is probably less
than swsnty.ona
FxaKTS TTR IDEAL
Here In an army fighting for an
ideal. 10 would seem . Certainly IL
Ia not an army fighting for pay, for
the pay I'm small. Private soldiers
draw about hfty cents q day, and
generals draw about twenty-five
dollars q week. Once again the wis
dom OF the leaders crops out for the
Irish appetite IN recognized. The
army il well fed. It's ration being
more than adequate. and Ixish boys
do love to eat.
Courtesy Is another virtue OF the
irish Army. There Is a boyish shy
ness about the army that replaces
the smirking boistetouness OF the
most of the worlds soldiery. One
never gets a di~scourteous word from
an Irish soldier.
Altogether this Irish Army "a \
credit to ireland and a monument to
the memory of Michael Collins. It's
a most lovable little army, and. judg-
ing from the number OF colleens who
may be seer hanging on the arms
OF off-duty soldiers, It is a lovable
army we'll loved. No one can blame
the girls either.
