Richard Mulcahy Succeeds
As Chieftain of Irish Army

LONDON. Aug. 24.-Before the
truce was signed which brought an
end to hostilities between England
and ireland, when Sim Fein was
fighting the British with all the
means at its disposal, three men
swore to continue the struggle for
Ireland as long as any one Of them
should live ..sr.-
These three. known as the Ter
rible Trio of Sim Eein." were Mi
chael Collins, Cathal Brugha and
Richard Mulcahy. Collins has been
assassinated. Brugha was killed as
he left the blazing buildings in the
recent battle of Dublin, revolver in
hand. refusing to surrender.
The one who remains-Mulcahy-
has been named commander-in-chief
of the Free State army to take the
place of Collins, and will fulfill the
pledge to carry on for Ireland.
Mulcahy is slightly built and youth
full in appearance. He Is still in
his 3Os. Like Collins. he had been
employed in the postal service. He
left his job to take up arms in
the rebellion of 1915. Later he began
the study of medicine. but aban-
doned his books when the split came
in the rebel ranks and his presence
with the army was required.
Rising under Collins to minister
of defense and chief of staff, his
appointment as commander-in-chief
may mean that the destinies of the
Irish nation rest in his hands.
Mulcahy has not the flashing per-
sonality of Collins. Rather he is
modest and shy. But he Is gen.
orally credited with having been a
better military organizer than his
slain chief. and with having been
the brains Of the Free States de-
fense. Collns.had looked tn him
as SUCCESSOR
Ths youthful commander has a
greater Influence to-day With the rank
and file of F'ree-State soldiers than
any other man in Ireland. Already
recruits are Joining him to avenge
the death Of Collins. -.
