Not all Of the former proteges OF the
mission like to be reminded of their

what may by comparison with their
beginnings be called a kind of emf

enough who have gone to lead fine
lives in other cities OF this land and
OF Europe to justify the proud state

But before mentioning names and
delving into careers OF the particu-

to recall what the Five Points was

ance. In every nation OF Europe that
has been swept by civil war or foreign
invasion during the last five years such
outrages have been much more numer-
GUS than Ia Ireland. but those coun-
tries are far away and little notice is
taken of them, while Ireland is close
at hand and under a microscope.
The No Mans Land between North
ern and Southern Ireland is ridiculous
in comparison with the No Mans Land
between Poland and Red Russia, and
the raids across the one are not to
be mentioned in the same breath as
the serious raids OF Savinkoff across
the other. 1t is ludicrous to hear OF
the Ulstermen being seized with a peri
odic panic about an attack from the
south which makes them stop traffic.
dig trenches across the roads. construct
barricades and mine bridges.
In comparison with some other Ell
ropean countries ireland has been mod
crate and conservative during the last
two years. but In comparison with the
vanished Ireland OF twenty years ago
the Erin OF to-day has travelled a long
way. To give only a few superficial
evidences of that long journey that
struck my eye in the streets of Dublin,
English bookshops that used never to
contain a pro-Irish book, even II \.
were printed In English. are now full
OF ultra-Irish books printed in Gaelic.
and make q great display OF them in
their windows.
One firm of typewriter manufacture
ers has turned out a machine with Irish
script, and another firm is following
suit. Hotels which were formerly pat
ronized by 1.-The nobility and gentry"
alone now belong to limited companies
which are mainly Irish. and in what
was formerly the most exclusive of
them the Provisional Government has
taken suite of rooms for the commits
sion which is drawing up the new con-
stitution.
Credit Due TO Lloyd George.
Last week while I was watching the
evolutions of the Irish soldiers who now
occupy Beggar's Bush Barracks. lorry
after iorry OF English soldiers drove in,
not to retake the Barracks but TO supply
the new garrison with bully beef and
other supplies. Those English soldiers
were the same type of CHEEKY young
Tommies as had seen in the great war;
and they moved among their recent enc
mics as nonchalantly as they would
have moved among Australian or South
African troops.
The credit of this must be given TO Mr..
Lloyd George as well as to Mr.. Michael
Collins. and though there are hotheads,
especially among the /. r. A., who say
that they have driven the English out,
the great majority Of Irishmen admit
that this Is not the case and that 1t ia
mere foolishness to say that continued
pressure on Lloyd George would have
made that statesman grant complete in
dependence to ireland. Mr.. Lloyd George
could not grant cou1r,lefa iudapandenrA
to ireland, and could not have got a
dozen NJ. P.s. to support him In the
House of Commons IL he had pro-
posed IT,
I should say that 10 per cent. OF the
Irish people understand this perfectly.
