The Rev. P. F. O'Brien of the St.
Paul seminary entertained the Semi
narians Sunday evening with an inter-
esting talk on his trip to Ireland last
summer Father O'Brien related his
personal experiences and then COM
mented on them with his usual fuency
and felicitous style, which endears him
so to the hearts of his audience.
His first sight of the New Ireland
was glimpsed when he saw the Sim
Fein flag floating over the Port Roy
al Yacht club in Maynooth. Father
O'Brien, as he said, landed on election
day and he was struck by the supers
natural tranquility which reigned at
the election booths. From Maynooth
he entrained for Dublin, the city
which formerly boosted of four build
ings that would honor any city, name
ly, the Postoffice, the Custom House,
the Four Courts, and the Bank of Ire
land. These buildings were built be-
tween 1882 and 1900 by the Independ-
ent Parliament in Ireland at that pc
Rod When Father O'Brien arrived
two buildings were down, the Post
office shelled Oy English g1nboats; the
Custom House torn down by the Irish
themselves. The Four Courts were
barricaded with sand bags and barb
ed wire. Later when he again return
ed to Dublin, the Four Courts were a
heap of ruins, shot down by the Free
Staters to GUST the Republicans en-
trenched there. While in Dublin, Fa-
Their O'Brien also witnessed the fu-
neral of Arthur Griffith, and there saw
Michael Collins, for the last time, rid
ing majestically at the head of his
troops. A few days later, when Fa-
Their Q'Brien was leaving, an extra"
announced the death of that heroic
leader, shot down by a fellow country
man.
Ireland is certainly witnessing a
revolution, state of internal strife
worse than anything she has yet eX-
perienced. Roads are cunningly min
ed, so that if certain amount OF tom
mage travels over them the mines will
explode. Travelling by rail is very I'm,
certain automobiles are hard to hire;
prices are prohibitive; bridges are
down; and the people are very uneasy
The young men of Ireland today are
vastly different from the youths OF the
previous generation.
Father O'Brien stated: ''It will take
three years and 100000 men to sub
due the irregulars in Ireland The
Republican leaders all have strange
names, that is, they are not of purely
Celtic stock, as De Valera, Childers
etc. The best summary of the situa
ton, Father O'Brien said, is the eX
ample of the man driving in car
with his son and daughter. Father
OBrien asked the man what side he
was on The man answered: m,
daughter is a Republican; my son {
Free Slater, and / don't know what
am"
Father O'Brien also visited Water
ford Reginald's Tower, famed in his
tory as the place where Cromwell mar
ried the daughter of a disloyal lr1sl
chieftain, but now the Sim Fem fla
floats proudly over it. He went t
Fountains Abbey, attended dinner
Trinity college, and paid a short vlsl
to England.
