Every war seems to introduce new

toraton of ancient Gaelic names to
many cities. Queenstown, where pas

Kingstown. the principal landing place

The biggest transformation, however.
is in the name of Dublin itself which
is now Bale Athe Ciiath-which mo-
body tries to pronounce.
Bale Athe Clath, which means the
town Of four hurdles, originated about
the second century and was SO named
because at that time a passage to 1t
was formed across the boggy pool Of
the River Liffey by hurdles. The name
later was shortened to Ath-Cliath,
which may be roughly pronounced
"Aclee." About the eighth century the
town came to be called Ath-Claith-
Dubh- Linn. meaning the ford OF hurdles
on the black poo! river. the pool being
black owing TO the peat bed. Inc

Dublin. May 81.
A court order has just been issued
directing the Adjutant General OF the
Republican army to pay bill Of 200
pounds sterling presented by John
O'Shea. local merchant. for arms
and ammunition furnished the Irish
volunteers prior to the Easter rebel
lion OF 1916.
.OShea served the volunteers in the
capacity of a sort of purchasing
agent. buying arms and ammunition
at Birmingham and getting them TO
ireland. He bought Fl 900 worth, but
some of it was faulty. so he sued in d
Republican court to recover f226 and
received nearly his whole claim.
The case brought to light some OF
the persons engaged and the methods
employed in the gun running days.
Prof E,din MacNeil. speaker of the Dali
Eireann. was one OF the principal wit
nesses He described the situation III
1915 when the British procla alton pre-
vented the importation of arms. max
ing it necessary for the Irish volunteers
to observe the utmost secrecy. He was
appointed to have charge OF the volun-
teer army fund.
O'Shea described his meeting with an
agent for the volunteers ine Birmingham
and the arrangements made for The pur-
chase Of 1000 pounds worth of arms
and ammunition, but the agent sug-
gested that the arms and ammunition
should be made somewhere near Ireland.
He said that afterwards the volunteers
made ammunition at Ballina.
Rory O'Connor, secessiouist leader.
testified that he was unable to find a
certain document he received at the SINE
the goods were being delivered which
might finally establish the delivery and
also the condition Of the goods He
admitted. however, that 1t was a legi.i-
mate army debt which he was most
willing TO see paid. O'Shea's attorney
asked O'Connor If he was not at present
commanding the army. TO which OCon-
nor replied 81 am no. afraid of it,
Following the court order that the
Adjutant-General pay the award the
question might arise as TO which
Adjutant- General should pay. the regu-
lar or the secessionis.. as both are
describing themselves as members of the
Irish Republican army, but the proposed
army unity may cbviate this difficulty.

Bernard Shaw, in addressing the In

to look after the money and let the
producers look after the art When

Mr.. Shaw, there is no definite stand

Mr.. Shaw was inspired to advise
his colleagues along this line when
w. III. Williamson urged the authors
seriously TO consider their subsidiary
rights and TO include them in special
clauses In contracts.
Mr. Shaw said that the traditions
were all wrong because the subsidiary
rights had become so enormously more
valuable and the business people had be-
come more rapacious. He said the SUBJ
sidiary rights in the old days We're worth
about $500, but that nowadays the
cinema rights Of a serial story might be
worth $50, 1000 Mr.. Shaw added that he
had been offered 100000 yearly for five
years on the condition that he deliver
two film stories yearly.
