EASY TO DIE,
COLLINS TOLD
BY MILTON BRoNNER

LONDON. Aug. 26.-'I am
quite willing to die for Ireland
Michael Collins said that in a
talk I had with him last winter
during the peace treaty negotia-
tions. lie sald-though not for
quotation then-that he didn't
expect the treaty would please
everybody and that personal
sacrifice and bloodshed would
be inevitable.
You had a great American
nathan Hale" he said, who
EXPRESSED sorrow that he had
oniy one life 10 give for his
country. Hundreds OF Irishmen
have the same spirit.
'But it Is an easy thing 10 die.
The hard thing will be TO live
for Ireland and help her grow
great and free and happy"
That Collins knew he was
doomed and probably reached a
stage OF almost hopeless reck-
lessness after Arthur Grimth's
sudden death IS Indicated by
these words:
I'm die glady. n necessary.
But I would like TO live 10 help
in the great work OF construc-
tion by the side OF natures
nobleman. Arthur Griffith"
