In almost every county in Ireland PUb_Ii lie bodies have demanded the withdrawal of the proclamation forbidding the importation of arms, and the demand is a sane and reasonable one. Why the proclamation has not been withdrawn is a mystery, if, as we are told, the Liberal Party are so enthusiastic about the Irish Volunteers a~ -,to stand up and cheer in the English House of Commons at the progr~ss of the.jnove. ment.

They returned to the home by the way Lacy had left it, and entering a bedroom,

he bowed. There wag a periwig on his head of :;. past fashion, and a fox-hunter's scarlet coat on his body.

It Bashed through his mind that the colour of the coat emphasised his military air, and that his libertv and his life depended upon how he acted his part.

His glance passed to Nuala.

Lacy looked at the girl once more, but her eyes were lowered.

Had she seen his movement he wondered and called out to divert the Corners attention.

Advanced company dl'~l1 \"'~S gone through with such prccisian and exactness ihat ~ number cf expert military men were heard to remark that a company of British soldiers with a year's tra.ining could not equal it.

And yet these men have had only a couple of months' training, and that once or twice a week after a bard day's work, The Cycle Corps was a pleasant surprise n~t only to Mr Devlin, but to the majority of the members who had been unaware of its existence, whilst the signalling Corps justified the eulogies of the crowd by their deftness in transmitting messages from one end of the large ground to the other After going through their varous movements, the men were formed up by Com. mander Cusack to have a few words addressed to them by Mr. Devlin, and their military bearing was never so apparent a; when they stood there at attention.

I1Ir. Devlin prefaced his remarks by paying a tribute Lei the committee when he co 'f;ratulated he men on heir conduct durug d. past few trying weeks.

After ex-» ("o_;mg his wonder and pleasure at their : ple ndid efficiency, he reminded them ~-hat th_, ~tionalists of Ireland were r-ady ,.JáP, anxious, for peace, 'but that if It be came absolutely necessary to resort +o ...ar, the Volunteers would not flinch.

Denis M'Cullough, chairman of the Belfast Volunteers, in a few well chosen remarks thanked Mr Devlin on heh21f of the men and committee for his kindness ill coming that day to inspect the troops.

This being the first opportunity the .mcmhers had of showing their appreciation for the popular Chairman's untiring and nnselfish efforts to forward the movement in Belfast and elsewhere, they made no mistake about availing of it, and again the lungs came into operation. Kot the least, though the last, successful item on- the day's programme was the march in which :\lr Devlin took part from Shau'l's Park down the Falls road _ to Hamill square.

Wben the squaer wc s reached, )Ir Devlin requested a11 those who had followed the procession to d.sperse as quietly as they had congregated, and this they did, when they had' given a rousinz cheer for ",Yee ,JO<:l." e The Committee confidently expect that the parade wlli have the effect of bringing in the rema'ning Nationalists of Belfast "'Tn have not yet been enrolled, and Llat iJ;,á next time ;\Ir.

Meeting at Rathfarnham /

Interesting Addresses Very Rev Canon O'Keeffe presided It'f a large meeting at Rathfarnham when is local corps of the Irish Volunteers was formed. Canon O'Keeffe said that at the name "Volunteers" all Ireland had 1'isc~ to arms, which would not be laid down" The religion and liberties of the people of- the J'.I~orth weald never he interfered with in the' sligheest. Ireland had leaped into virtual nationhood, declared Mr P H Pearse, B A, in the course of an addsess, Only by en bearing arms could the rights of citizenship be guareled. 'fhe Irish Volunteers, he declared, must not become the adjunct of any political party. In the movement there was ro ..m for the Parliamentarian, the Sinn Feiner and the liep< aratist. Their ars would never .be used except at the call of all Ireland against foreign aggression.

They could arm in spite of any Government proclamation, and .if Nort-East Ulster was arming ainst Irish freedom, then the Irish Volunteers would arm for it. Mr J J Clancy, :'1 P, said their meeting was concerned with nationality, pure aad simple. Th8!r were dealing with the l~ational qaestion of Self-Government for Ireland and the means of defcn4ijllg it when thE'y got it._ The Volunteer movement was a spontarieous gccowth. No polit ie al party, so far as he knew, had stimulated the movement, which had sprung f$Jll1 the people theselves, and he was not surprised that it should have .prung fro them without stimulation when they saw what bad been going on in other parts of Ireland besides L~l1ster, ?lI.ul1ster, and Connangh.

The movement was a national movement for the defence of the rights and liberties of the people of ths whole of Ireland. .. lvfr Soan Fitz Gibbon, of the Rrm"iS!'ooal Committee, dealt briefly with the move. ment since its Inception seven months ago. In addition to the labour of ordinary organising work such as has to bs done i'n the g_rell.t civil owganisations 1'he Irislr people had b-uilt up, the Provisional Oonnuittce were cenfrcll1ted with a task, hitherto felreign to lrisk organisati¨'l,1s, the werk of creating and equipIling a ria.

So much may be said of _ the value of _ Iastinotive forces is general and of the national instinct in particular, without minimising the value of reeson as 0. factor of great importance in the direction and control of instinct.

American Volunteer Army

The Bursting

of a Bubble

/

By M. V. Reidy At every period of the world's history great nations and empires have stood out :IS dominant world powers.

Regarded as invincible, subject nations have fallen in terror before ther aggressions -u.ntil- .at ],':lgth the.r power is crushed in SOllG b.utle r.nd the weaker powers realise that, however powerful J,- nation ll1_rty be, it is net unconquerable. - In the IclIowing artide Mr Reidy: )?-Cin.!s out a Iactor in ihe Year between England and America often overlooked, and which undoubtedly did influence the issue of the conflict.

Twonfy yogis before the outbreak of the i AmeriCl!n Revo.ution the condition of what i, now one of the greatest ana freest nat ions in the world was deplorable in the extr-ems. iYiihont arts and manufactures; and wi' h the crudest and most backward r::~~hot1s of agriculture, the older States which afterwards for med the original Ur ion were in the hands of English Pro. priet ary Companies, which governed their possessions in so far as their charters permitted them, in their own interests. There "11'.8 little feeling .of common interest !between th~ 'New York Colonial and the New England Colonial, and still less between the nati ve 'of either colony and the native of North cr South Carolina. They were all, it is true, British subjects, but as their British subject" on was realised by them mainly through increasing taxation , unpopular imposts and arbitrary laws, that great pride in the Motherland, which is said by Englishmen to exist in all English Colonies, had not, to say the least of it, a dorninating influence in the conduct Or outlooj- of t-h~ colonists. The necessity england was under of protecting her cclonies fro-a the French and their Xor-th Arnerican alIies, the Indians, in tho ear ly days before th~ colonists Could do it for themselves, eonstjtuted the link of self-inten~'d ".. hiáh hourrd tlre colonists to the C'rcwn.

I

'fo anybody who tDw~days observes tl~e .czrcfu l a-~:itude of English statesmen ttl their dealings with the United States, who see the cautious manner in which uegetiauous 1l.16 carded out so that Americans runy naYl! no I'¢ll~OQ to take offence, ~'b\l see -,be. campaign of flattery 01 tile United !

They were treated as uncouth a nd in solent 'beggars who had been living on the charity of England, and who now refused to p:ly back a; tithe of the amount which, had been .lavished on them in the days of their beggary_ Some old - prints of the time display the savage spirit in which everything colonial was attacked. In short, the tone of the whole British Press and public was at once offensive and contemp. tuous towards the colonials.

The Colonials, from constantly hearing and rewing; about the lnvincibiiity of the British army, came to accept it as true.

Depending solely on England for printed books, newspapers, etc., public opinion in ..North America in pre-Revolutionary times was influenced accordingly.

Everythng colonial was regarded as inferior, and th standard of refinement towa-rds which ::010nial .snobbery aspired was that possessed by the higher civiln and military officials who were obliged by circUll1S"'a..nces to exile themselves amongst those whom they regarded as 'uncouth and uneducated provncials. The English army and na,,}, were invincible, English laws and institution, were the envy of the world, the English aristocrncy were the flower of English civilication, and English civil izat'on itself was the one clear light which shed its s,,~t, white rays on a barbarous world.

These ih'ngs, of course, were not true, but :r:n~hnd said they were and kept on repea~j.ni!,it, and the Colonials bel ieved it. and so things went on well for Eng land.

A glance '~t the files of American newspapers of pre-Revolution days wil! show that the arguments brought. forward by the opponents of war with Englarrd always tended towards establishng the utter hopclcssuess cf triumphing over the invin. cible power of Britain. The peace ak any pri;::~ m('n were strong in- the colonies, and

_ gence the General had' of an enemy being near him.

This guard being disordered, in existence, originally established for the the General hurried the troops up to thelr better protection of the Oolonies s against assistance, which was done in great con. the French arid their allies, the Indiana. fusion through wagons, baggage and cattle This local army aroused the laughter and and presently the fire came upon their ridicule of all believers in tile invincibi- flank.

The officers being on horsehack lity of the British army.

-Twenty years were more easity distinguished, picked out before the sutbreak of the Revolution, as marks, and fell very fast, and the sol. however, so~ething happened on American diers were crowded together in a huddle, soil which stiffened the backs of even the having or hearing no orders, and standing most timid and shrinking, and put a spirit to ba shot at, till two-thirds of them were into the hearts of America's nghting man- killed, and then, being seized with panic, hood which ultimately led to England's the rema/ nder of them fted with precipi, bitter humiliation and defeat. tation.

Benjamin Franklin in his Autobiography tells the story. In 1745 Frankan projected and drew up a plan - for the union of all the separate i'\ orth American Colonies under one Government, so far as might be necessary, for defence and other purposes.

These united Colonies were-subject, of course, to the permission of the British Governmeutc--to raise and equip Volunteer regiments for their own defence, Bul the Ilritish Government did net like the plan. They diu not wish to trust the government of the unted Colonies with an army of its QWl1, 211d the policy was condemned in England, though meeting with the greatest favour in the Colonies. Meanwhile war had broken out between France and England, and the French, aided by the Indians, who they armed and equipped, began to attack the Colonies. The 'English Government sent over General Braddock with two regiments of regular English troops to protect the Colonies. General Braddock was m-ll of prejudice against all thing-s Colonial, and in his interview with Frenklin , who waited upon him at the request of th-e Pennsylvanian Assembly, he allowed these prejudices to display themselves without ill the least meaning to be offensi -The fuct measures the contempt whch the average higher class Er.glishman entertained for the colonials, "In conversation with him one dG.Y," writes Franklin, "he was giving me some account of his Intended progress. 'After ta-king Fort Duquesne,' said he, 'I am to proceed to ~;iag;lTa" and, having t:"ken that, to .Frcntencc, if the season wi ll allow time, and I suppose it will; for Duquesne call hardly detain me above three OT fO'UJ' days, and then I see nothing that can obstruct my march to Niagnra." " Franklin had 11:3 doubts, hut was unwilling to offend so high an authority by stating that too plainly.

However, he did tonvey to the English General his opinion that no doubt he would carry out h19 triumphal march if nothing happened to prevent it.

-Ç:

"The wagoners took each a horse out of his team and scampered. Their example was immediately followed by others, so that uJI the \\":1g011S, prey .sions, nr:il~eI'Y and stores were left to the enemy.

Th3 General, being wounded, was brought off with diffioulty ; his secretary, Mr Shirley, was killed by his side, and out of 86 offi, cers, 63 were killed or wounded, and 714 men w-ere killed of 1,100.

These 1,100 had been picked men from the wfiole army, the rest had, been left behind with -ColQnel Dunbar, who was to follow with the heavier part of the stores, provisions and baggage. the flyers, not being pursued, arrived at Dunbar's camp, and the panic they brought with them instantly seized him and all his ápeople. And, though he had now above one thousand men,- and the en. emy who had beaten Braddock did not at most exceed 400 Indians and French to. gether, 1nstead of proceeding and endeav. ouring to recover some of the lost honour, he ordered all the stores, ammunition, etc, to be destroyed that he might have more horses to assist his flight towards the settle. merits and less lumber to remove. He was there met with requests from the governors of Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania that he would post his troops on the frontiers so as to afford some protection to the inhabitants, but lle continued h:s hasty march through all the country, not thinking himself safe till he arrived at Phil". delphia, where the inhabitants could pro. tect ,him. This whole tr anaaction, gave us Americans the first suspicion that our C.};. ailed 'eras of the prowess of British regular troops had, not been well founded."

Thus much Benjamin Franklin in his delightful book, which is remarkable at once for its worldly wisdom, its patriot ism and its humour. The little book serves as a manual to teach what self-relianea can achieve for men or aatlons, J

The defeat of Braddock and the mad terr-or of Colonel Dunbar and his men to get away from an enemy w~th Iess than half his numbers, was one of the greatest "He smiled at n1y ignorance," conhlow-, British prestige eve!" received OIl the tinned Franklin , "~nd replied, 'These savAmerican continent.

Zhe lrishVolunteer SATURDAY,

JC:\"E 13, 1914.

The stern pUlyose - of the nation has manifested itself, wrought the nation's character anew in iron, and has given it articulation in tee sound of the rifle.

We start again, wih the old hate ofcenturles dead, but with the old and unquenchable love oi Ireland burning fiercer than ever. What stands in the way of our nationhood l~~~st be swept aside, nay has been swept ."_side, for the greatest barrier to our well-being was the instinctive distrust of ourselves, that made us fear to take up the freeman's arms, and shrink from the great trial that would have proved our fitness for freemen's destiny. The coward and the slave are to-day outside the ranks" of the new Ireland _ that is marching towards the full unshackled life that only .a free nation may lead, Corne what may, we are to_day on the right road, and the brain with purpose and the- body to do are acting in unison after the mistakes and the dissensions of the years. ¥

The Volunteers can safely say " All goes well." The lllOVel~1ent has h ad to make its way under great difficulties-..at the start difficulties that were gradually overcome.

There is a certain amount of suspicion attaching to any body of men who in Ireland wer,c bolt! enough to insist that Ireland had the right to arm and that it was neccesary for Ireland to arm.

Uuhappily the traditions of force, glorious as they were, left bitter memories in the country that needed softening, that needed somebn~ to pont their' l-eal moral, which was that behind :1.11 a a ation must arm to preserve itself, and that no matter how much the suffering and the sacrifice, nei-ther is vain.

And to-day upon all the' sacrifice of the past a new movement hascome into being, whence 'no one knows. whither Ireland is certain. The repeated' failures of the past, like a stream that seeksa new' outlet only to venture and followthe old course, in seeming hopelessness had done their work and the ground is prepared for the new channel. The reo gimc of the past is ended. Tbe regime of tame submission to force and fraud, the acquiescence ill decay and stagnancy and' tb~ sullen acceptance of another's will..

The Volunteers have swept the 'land, and:' tbe beginnings of a new and mightly Ireland have been laid.

Cyclists in an army may to some extent lake the place of mounted infantry in countries well provided with roads such as Ireland.

It might be doubtfnl , how, ever) whether they fan be used in large numbers because of the space they occupy on a road, and the fact that their rnachines, when the men' 'are dismounted, cannot be kept close to~ether on account of the difficulty that 1IIV0uld arise if it were ....equired to mount them in a hurry. The push cycle is now in general use in many armies which must be displaced by the motor cycle , but the motor cycle, although not dear to a Government, would "'be out of reach of our Volunteer army unless funds are supplied by the nation.

Cyclists, however, will be largely used as messengers, thus relieving cavalry of the trying duty. Moreover, they will be very useful for reconnoitring, because they can move silently, and they always have the advantage over cavalry that they require no forage and offer a small target to the enemy. On the other hand, they cannot move across country.s=M. 0' Re:lly, Bel-

The following rules must be observed in distributing the troops in areas, whether billets, camps or bivouacs are used: Wh~n liable to attack, infantry should be in the more exposed positions, cavalry ---0or other mounted troops in the less exposed. Artillery columns and medical nnits should always be covered by the other e.GD5. Depots should he near good.

'there are three kinds of encampments, roads; dismounted units should he nearest namely, staffs and hospitals Facilities of defence is one of the most, the water supply; Camps- Where the troops are sheltered if not the most, important factors when should have the first claim on buildings I by tents; ibivouacs-where the troops sleep hospitals should- be given a quiet spot and choosing ground for camp. in the open, sheltered possibly under Generally speaking, what is required is the most sanitary position; staff offices blankets, tentes d'abri, or similar kinds- of a good line of defence, such as a ridge, should if possible be situated close to teleshelter, and 'billets-where troops are lodwith ,a clear field or fire beyond it.

Cooking Places.

When each unit is told off by the staff to a camping ground orders will usually be given as to whether the cooking places latrines, and refuse pits should be on the fronf rear, or either flank of the unit.

If no particular orders are- given, the officer commanding the unit must use his discretion in the matter.

Pitching

Tents.

The following is the best method of pitching a bell tent, whether w ith two or more men: Drive 1st peg at the point where the pole is to be, which should be 7 yards from the pole of the tent on either side of it. Drive in the following pegs: 2nd peg, 5 paces to the right front of 1st peg; 3rd peg, 5 paces to the left front of 1st peg; 4th peg, 5 paces on the right rear of 1st peg; 5th peg, 5 paces on the left reat of 1st peg. Unroll the tent and unhook the door. .-\. man should take the four guy ropes and attach these to the. four peg-s already driven in.- Fit the pole into the - tent, k-eeping the foot of the pole to the direct front, 'lind drive the cap on to the pole.

Raise the tent and place the foot of the pole into the position of the first ~g, tightening up the four guys at the same time.

Drive ia the remainder of the pegs, commencing 'with those on the 'windward side. All pegs should be in a line with the seams of the tent; as the ropes are put on the pegs they should be tightened.

Dig a trench round the ends of the tent about 3-4 incnes deep.

Dig a small - hole 2 or 3 inches deep close to the foot of the pole inside the tent, and when it comes on wet ease the strain on- 8011 the ropes by shifting the pole into this holo.

Tentage Accommodation fot Of£iters

And Men. The following is the- regulation allowarlee of tents for officers, warrant and X.C.O.'s and men: Officer commanding units, 1 tent each other officers 1 tent between three i warrant ofi;c~;-$, 1 fent between fin; sergeants 1 tent between sevcn ; corporals and men 1 tent between fifteen.

If the medical officer has a tent to himself he has, "to use it for seeing patients.

Striking Tents.

The following is the best !~-_'"'thod of striking - a bell tent whether with two or more- men l .

Tal.e all the ropes off átlie pegs with the exception of the four guys. Lift the pegs and put them in the peg bag.

Take the guy ropes off the pegs, but keep hold of them until the pole is lowered.

Lower the pole with the top towards the rear and withdraw the pole from the cap of the tent.

Spread the tent out with the door uppermost and in the centre, and fold the sides iu towards tbe centre until the breadth is equal to the length of the tent bag.

Fold the top of the tent down about half-way, and then roll the tent {rom the top to tho bottom as tightl)' 3.5 possible.

Place it and the ~g bag in the tent bag and tle up the tent .hag.

In striking tents in a. hurry, as in the case of a night attack, the first man out should take the front guys off their pegs and slacken the back guys, while the last C'O:-<TINGED O~ T'AGE 1á3 .
