ThemostinterestingmaninEurope to-dayisnotPremierBaldwinofEngland,orPoincareofFrance,orLenin orMussolinibutRichardMulcahy; andFrederickPalmer,theveteranwar correspondentandts'obetrotter,says thathecanproveit.Mr.Palmer calledunGeneralMulcahy,notlong since,inhisheadquartersatthePortobelloBarracks,nearDublin.Heisa littleman,thisCommander-in-Chiefof theArmiesoftheIrishRepublic:he is"thelittleex-postalclerk,l'asMr. Palmerputsit,"whohasbroughtpeace toIreland."If"themeasureofa leader'sstrength,"theAmericanwritergoeson,"istheobstacleshehas overcome,thenMulcahyisagreat leader."To-dayheisnotonlythe Commander-in-ChiefoftheIrishArmy, buttheMinisterofDefenceofthe IrishFreeStateaswell,andthe strongestpowerbehindtheGovernmentofIreland.Mr.Palmer,in"ihe GaelicAmerican,"turnsbackfortnis reviewofthelittlesoldier'scareer: AsapostalclerkintheoldBritish days,hischiefspromotedhim.When hebecauseactiveinSinnFein,they dischargedhim.Theirmistake,his irienclssay,was,iftheywantedthe 13ritishtocontieuetoruleIreland,not tohaveputhamingaol.Heproposedtodevotehissparetimetothe study-ofmedicine.ButtheMace. andTansgavehimlittlesparetime.
