Yot the Irish Nationalist leader’ way never a greater man or a) more eloquent one than on that day in early August, 1914, when, to} a wildly cheering House of Commons, he epoke the historic words} that strengthened England for its hour of grave responsibility: To-day there are in Ireland two large bodies of volunteers, T say to the Government they may to-morrow with safety withdraw every one of their troops from Ireland and the coasts of ireland will be defended from foreign invasion by her armed sona, In this matter the armed Catholics of the South will gladly join arms with the armed Protestants of the North. It was a noble pledge, simply and nobly uttered, and no subse- quent aberrations of Irishmen or Irish factions have altered the truer, broader Irish spirit which it will forever represent. At that opening stage of the conflict it sent one of the most-counted-on calculations of the Prussian war lords tumbling to ruin. No man ever wanted Home Rule for Ireland more ardently than John Redmond. No man at tlhe same time ever more clearly and loyally distinguished a greater fight from a lesser, No Irish leader will be remembered as more worthy of the brave and steadfast irishmen who have set apart all other issues to fight and die with Englishmen, that the world may be delivered from its woret peril and made safo for free, peace-loving peoples.
