Cosgrave, in common with most ot the others who took part in the Easter rebellion, knew little of military aflairs He was 36 years old. Since 1909 he member of the Dublin Corporation as Sinn Fein councilor. He had been active in the Irish volunteers organization secretly early in the war At the outbreak of the rebsllion he was a lieutenant in the 4th Dublin Brigade. The move wes desperate and ill-timed Arthur Griffith. the .intellectual and political leader of the Sinn Fein, ai- ready had repudiated the uprising Ireland was not yet quite ready to de- vote her utmost strength to the job of betoming free Cosgrave and h's company were as- signed to the defense of the South Dublin Union There. in the face of | overwhelming odds. thev held out for four days The court-marital and death sentence followed. His term in prison lasted for onlv one vear when a | general amnesty was declared, the | Lioyd Grorge government hoping even at this late date to placate Ireland But men who have been under s°ntence of death are not so easy to placate The Nationalist movement revived rapidly with its leaders—such as| Eamon De Valera——once more at liberty Rearrested In 1918. Cosgrave was rearrested in 1918 and confined in Wormwood Scrubs prison Later he was transferred o Reading jail. He was released again in 1919 The Sinn Fein immediately reorganized with the Dublin volunteers in the fore- front of the movement. The Irish Re- public was organized and declared itsell at war with England. In 1917, while he was still in jail. Cosgrave had been elected on the Sinn | Fein ticket as member of the British Parliament from Kilkenny. He w: re-elected in 1918, After the establish ment of the Dail Eireann in 1919 he was appointed minister of local govern- ment and displaved considerable ability as an organizer in keeping alive a gov- ernment which was battling desperately 1o’ keep itseif in existsnce. About the same time the revolutionary army was <howing new powers of resistance and defense. The British were finding them- ! selves with a hard proposition on their hands. People were talking of a my: terious leader named Michael Collins. wno was showing the veterans of the war with Germany a few tricks in modern fighting methods which were new to them. Cosgrave was not in the fig forces in those days. He had been elect- ed in 1921 Lord Mayor of Dublin, an extremely important position in the Sinn Fein governmental organization But the world had not heard of him He =tll was a comparatively in- significant figure in the news dis- patches, Supported Peace Treaty. Then came the peace treaty and the ectablishment of the Irish Free State This was considerably short of what the Sinn Pein bad sought. Many of e foremost ieaders in the revolution could not accept the settlement with clear consciences. They preferred to feht on and on. Let England conquer thev said. and make what she could of an island of dead men The examplex of Griffith and Collins however, von over a considerable pro- ortion of the population. Ireland was drained of its blood. The people were any sort of peace with honor.
