VoL. II. No. 52. DUBLIN, SUNDAY, JANUARY 30, 1916. PRICI ONI HALFPBNNY

GAEL AND HUN Judging by the an1ount of spac it d vote to

British '' 1'ommi s," the .. at urday "l Jerald" has becon1e quite a ''militari t" organ. R cently I was impressed by groups of J)ublin " occer " players \\7hich it produc d. It wouJd appear that whole teams of o cerites from Dublin have donned khaki. \Vhat thought arise in mv mind on cont mpla.ting this fact. Thoughts ot strenuous G.A.A. days \vhen the "anti-police soldiers and sailors rule'' was first promulgated, and of successive conventions when efforts were made to repeal that \vise and far- eeing measure. I rejoice at and ongratulate my G.A.A. sponsors on the \visdom and foresight they displayed in framing a rule which has pr served our national athletic organisation from becoming the happy hunting ground of British r cruiting vultu~ . At times during the past tfi years I felt that this rule \Vas tactless and even stu1tifyiAg, but I am glad to re all now that I had the sufficient good sense to trust the superior wisdom and experience of my leaders, and \ ote as they \\7jshed for its enforcen1ent. Thi. rule, however, did not stand alone in safeguarding the .A.A. Th re \Va.. the " ali n games" rule \\7hi h prohibited player·s of "Association" football ("soccer''), "Rugby" football and nick t, et ., from participnting in G.A. . gatnes. un1bers of \Vellintention <1 people n1ade a sad hash of trying 'to understand thi. rule. And \Vhat af,ter all did it amount to? To this-that the national atmosphere should be kept sacred from the taint of West Britain and Gr at Britain. It \vas nev r urged that ~ood ationali. ts did not play those alien games, but \vhat \Vas urg~, and vehemently insisted on, \Vas and is ttbat th atmo phere of Rugby and Soc er tubs \vas not, is not, and

never shall be distin tively and xclusively Irish, that, on the. contrary, tha ahnosph re \vas the vitiat d atmo. phere of We. t Britain which choked all national .ideas, v.rhicb sapped all patriotism, and whi h gave to those who frequented it a distonted outtoo:" on life, and a mistaken conception of their individual responsibilities to\vard their oountry. It leftt th m In the national s ns \veak and limp and flabby, it stole their minds and their hearts from Ireland, and left them stranded, mentally_,men without a "Ountry. B ause England \vasn't their country. They \Vould scorn to call them selves EngJi;h, and yet, the irony of it, \vhen Engla~d \\7as in danger, \vhen the hand of the doughtiest foe she has ver encountered in h r whole vile and infamous car r, \Vas on England's throat, and sh ho\\·led for m n to help her, these men, these Rugby and ~ oc er players, responded to the ''call,, and went to fight for a country they despised, b$ cause they were easily stampeded, because they lacked national ballast, because their national morale, of whi h they were but faintly conscious on leaving school, was com· pletely undennined in the ''alien" atmosphere of th ir club.. And England, throug·h her wily and n1ultifariou agen 'ies, having stolen their minds and h arts from their natural tnother, con. urnnul ted that infamy by stealing their bodies ancl sending then1 out in h r transports to serv as ock-shots for G rman, Austrian, Turkish and

Bulgarian sniper~. Great God, \vhat a fate? To act as a stop gap for Eng+and's retreating "warrior , " or to pave t.he \vay for their :tdvancc. And "Ireland'' is thus to be honoured. Honoured that men born on Irish soil have beep found vile and brutal enough to kill their fellO\V-

the life of me, see why you fellows should hang back like this. If we had done the dirty on you now, there \voul be some -ex<;use, but, ies you who have done all the dirty work, you kno,v, sbooting those landlord fello\vs and all that'' (vaguely).

the pictures and I can '·t see .how you can decently blame a man for shooting when a mob of that size was around him. Why, it filled up your big street in Dublin !" And the thought of the many large meetings that O'Connell Street and the Movies men have seen simply paralyses further arguntent and leaves my stockbroker triumphant. \Vhy sho\tldn't he? His reading has sho,vn hin1 how gentle England has been \Vith us, and when one thinks of how far John Redmond' . speech \Vould appeal to him-one mu ~ not think too fast.

And this is- only the beginning. Both the5e men are merely types of a huge number \vho 'read the same arefully expurgated London Edition of the "Daily ~1ail," who think in one huge herd, and \\'hose opinions vary just as frequently as the leader writer of this great journal is elevated or depressed. We begin to perceive a general air of hostility pervading all classes, and to find the name of Irish arousing a thinly veiled dislike tbat the "Freeman" and it fellows do not prepare us for.

One is forced to the conclusion that these people whom we meet, who are not of any outstanding ability, are merely voicing a logical doubt v; en they talk as they do. For, 'vhile ,,.e are used to, and enjoy, anomalies, they fail to gather the threads of a story \vhose chapters merely succeed each other in a bewildering maze. Thev see . Ulster springing to arms to preserve the ·Protestant faith; they see Ireland furiously and justly nraged at the \vanton butchery of the Dublin people at Bachelor's Walk; they see the same enraged p~ople patting soldiers on the back \vhen John Redmond made Irish opinion-for the nonce-execute such a volte fa e a~ history can

, scarcely equnl-and finally the felon setting in Ireland, the l\1ike O'l.~eary madness, the pitiful treatment of that petty Liverpool episode by the Irish lead r, all on1bined to set the Englt h public at an absolute loss. The data is puzzling, and the} may be welt excn. ed for alto\ving shrewder tnind. to do the thinking for them, and so to reach a conclusion by a line of littl resistance-a line that takes no cognisance of Redmond's juggling ,,·ith Irish thought and Irish \'olunteers; that forgets th unfortunate poor fool. \vho have spilled their blood in England's defence from Mon~ to Macedon.ia; that strays from the quarter million of ,men whom England+s armies took from Ireland-that, in a word, leads

English people \vhere they \Vish to ba led to\vhe~e an a~noying sense of gr.at®de for all tb~se sacrtfices wtll not hamper their after work. The student says:-" I hear you are putting up no recruits?" \Vhile Redmond asks us to be glad because three hundred and fifty thousand Irishmen fight for "our" Empire to-day. No-there is a profound · differ nee b t\veen 'the England that Mr. R dmond talks of and the England \vhich speaks through h r stud nts and sto kbroker , and the question which e'\erybody in Ireland must ask himself i.- m I justified in now following a poli y that is manifestly no longer one of security? T.his pol~cy is-give all to England no\v and sne \vitt remember and return this aUand mor . It is but too painfully evident that England \Vants our all, but wish s to hide our gen rosity frotn all save ours lves. She pictures us a . an ingrate and a foe. \V 11, so be it! Why give nnd giYe ahvays? ar better forsake every attitude sav the on of absolut hostiHty unfit \Ve ar~ snre that •ngland irS under no delusion. She C31ls us her foe. So \ve are, no\v-for we kno\v tJtat the sacrific of our national honour. and th pro. titution of our party, has advanced us as n1u 11 in ~ngland's aff tion as the Queen hlizab th advanced th British Expeditionary Fore through the Narro\vs of the Dardanelles. ---··---
