In the meantime reports from Swift

staying recently, at Mories, describe
the former Premier as. cevoting himself

the best for his country and himself.
At Morjes Paderewski 8 practiced
many hours a day in preparation for

Tie Jettatura, or Evil Eye

In his memoirs, recently published
at Madrid, the Marquis del Mum, for
mer Spanish Ambassador in Paris, re-
iates how Queen Isabella III of Spain.
VINO was very superstitious, believed
that her son-in-law, Count de Girgenti
tof the Bourbon branch of the Two
sic'lies>, had che evil eye. Even after
MS death the Queen thought that the
persecution continued. She maintained
that his sword, that had been be-.
queathed to her, brought her bad luck.
She deposited it at the armory Of Ma
drid, which soon afterward caught fire,
The superstition Of the iettaturs
comes from Italy. Many persons havs
been accused Of having the evil eye,
such as Offenbach, who, in his time,
was a redoubtsble jettatore. Not long
ago there was in Paris papal nuncio
who was said to possess the evil eye. a

True, at twenty-five to twenty-five

the Countess Markiewicz speak at a
street meeting in Dublin. Her extreme
utterance startled me. She called for
rivers of blood in which to wade to the
gepublic; she coveted civil war. IL only
one child were left in Ireland and he,
on the top Of mountain, could survey
6 republic, that would be worthy end
to a great cause, she said.
At that time in Dublin the "black
women" were being regarded as the
chief obstacle to compromise. Their
influence on De Valera was held to be
paramount. 1t may be significant TO
comm anded De Valera and ErsGine
Childers, the two prime remaining
leaders of the republican cause, and
were of no effect on the practical Grit
fifth and Collins. De Valera and Chill
ders are Of the same type, the former,
school man, an emotionalist and an
intellectual; the latter an Oxonian and
romanticist. The one is OF hals
Spanish blood, the other of English.
AS for the return of the British no
one desires that, save for few mill
tary men and Tories, who persist un-
shakably in the opinion that the Irish
are interiors and their governing a
part of the burden Of empire.
To speak of the governmental effects
Of the passing Of Collins and Griffith,
which have placed second to the popu-
lar. The possibility Of replacing ade-
quately these two great moderates is
naturally only conjectural. There will
be at least an important temporary
loss, but new men OF power may ap-
pear as Collins and Griffith did.
Richard Mulcahy, who succeeded TO
Collins's place as head Of the army, is
man Of strength, but how much is un-
known, ss he has not been tested. His

suasion to overcome the fears of
armed men among the backward peas
ants.
Three ways seem to lie open for Ire
land. One is for the people to eradi-
cate the disintegrating constituents.
The second is to confess defeat and
incapacity to govern and acquiesce in
the return Of the British military, re-
lapsing into the chronic state of politi-
cal dissatisfaction that has burdened
Ireland for so long. The third is to
drift. in the supine hope that the re-
publican brigandage viii die Of mani
tion.
The second course would be intoler-
able for Ireland and would place her
own seal on the claims of her enemies
that she is politically impotent. The
third would be even worse, for it would
demonstrate that conclusion. 1t would
let Ireland in for a protraction of her
acute distress, with the loss of many
more lives and many millions IN prop
erty. 1t might reduce her to micro
scopic Russia if followed out logically,
and there is no assurance, rather the
opposite. that the predatory irrecon-
cilables would yield to passive treat
ment.
The capacity OF the bitter-enders for
continuing their warfare is strong and
it, feeds on three stems. The hrst is
the character Of the men involved
Most Of them are lads, irresponsible
sons of peasant farmers and laborers,
to WHOM the enterprise presents a
glamorous appeal. They are lusty and
adventuresome and the uncertain life
Of the field, with its occasional glorv
and its lack of routine, is inviting.
Among them are sincere idealists, men
Of the De Valera, Cathal Brugha type.
Also in their ranks are the country
side bullies, rowdies to whom the zest
of irresponsible fighting with pillage

iblc. These men, few hundreds

in small groups, breaking up here, re-

stations escape me. 1t was pleasant

Of local politics, Of the high cost of

Henry Ford's dispute with the Cork

banquet the night before (two Of them
were Masons and Protestants, the rest
Catholics), Of Ireland's superiority to
America, OF a scandal in which a rich
American living in the neighborhood
had been involved, and of the fact that
Francis Hackett's birthplace was near
by and hiB mother still resided there.
There was hearty desire for peace.
All the men save the editor were ardent
Free Staters, and there was talk of
giving more active support to Griffith
and Collins. The cxcesses of the De
Valera forces were just then beginning
and there was universal condemnation
for them. 1t was gathering Of men
such as one might find In similar
town in any civilized country--intelli-
gent, humanitarian Irishmen, neither
the supermen of the one conception
nor the ruffians Of the other.
1t is from such elements that the
preservation of Ireland from its de-
structionists must come.
The difficulties Of bringing to bear
the will to peace are numerous. Peo-
pie whs love peace shrink from breach
ing it to obtain it. And the Irish
still are gentle race, generally speak
ing, despite certain surface evidences
to the contrary. The fighting in recent
years has been done by relatively
small proportion, as is the case in all
rebellions- On top Of that they have
been we'll disciplined in the demeanor
of order by century and more under
the crack police body Of the world, the
Royal Irish Constabuiary.
In addition, they are unframed in
the mass expression Of positive pur-
pose. The leadership of the country
has concentrated since the act of
union on working up negative state
of mind. They have been against Eng
land and only remotely. for Ireland.
They lack experience in marshaling
popular opinion for constructive ends.
