IRELAND, AND FREEDOM Story of Age Old Struggle In Historic leylftr. ' ' . -s RESISTANCE HAS EVER BEEN STUBBORN Historians Differ as to The Original Cause of The Trouble; But There Has Never Been Any Dispute as.tc TheNUncompromising Nature of The ' * U ? Fighting. 1W4'.-'achievement of a mutually agreeable basis for peace between Ireland and Great Britain and <the prospect of. Irish sovereignty in Irish atfaird, with Britain co-operating as a neighbor state within the empire, ra&rks at'once .the end of a struggle that has written In blood the history ci? Ireland for seven and a half centuries and. the dawn of an era that premises fullest play for the highest development of Irish economic and cultural possibilities. Mutual confidence and friendship between the English and , Irish people ceased with the invasion popularly accfrfcdi?B$ t to Strongbow, heir to the Earl^on^ of Pembroke and a liege of fymry tf. of England, in the twelfth century/'-It Is also given as truth in higtbrles, principally British, ' that Nicholas Breakspear, or Adrian IV., the only Englishman to becomp Pope ot Rome, ?<&>t Heory a bull empowering him to take possession of Ireland. As a consequence of this, Henry dispatched a forOe of Angl-Normans under Diarmid MacMurragha, the foe of Ring-Rude O'Connor, and that the invaders .took Dublin and other, places. Upcytv this, victory, the historians say, Rtrongborw, one of the English officers under- jtJiarmid, mdrried Diarmid's daughter and assumed the throne of Leinst^r upon his father-in-law's death ih 1171. After all this, Henry is said to hUve pone to Ireland, furthered the conquest, established Dublin Cast'e as the scat of Irish government, appointed Hugo de Lacy as governor, and given Dublifx 1(0 the ditlzens of Bristol. Rurle O'Connor, held'out for a long time and Henrypj^gotlated with him, but he finally retired to a monastery in 1183, and Ireland became the land of tragedy. If the'English Pope thought himself privileged to dispose of Ireland to Henry, or If Henry simply sent Strongbovf or someone else to seize Ireland, m^kes little difference to the essential $cts herein contained. They set out ip brief outline the one great characteristic of Ireland developed by the conquest, which was and is Ireland's absolute refusal to be conquered or to surrender her nationality even after - th?aA o^ntnrips nf starvation and the sWprd. And down through the years t&s fact Jias been the qornerstone in tjje, policy of every man who rose to leadersljUp^nnjong the Irish, people.^ And upon a willingness to temporarWiwith i|*was founded the ruin of many brilliant aspirants. ,Xnfeed, not only has one leader after anotner come to power In Ireland by this appeal to the Irish instinct of ftplistance to English rule, but it is a. fact that repeated immigrations of English, Welsh and Scotch and even of other racial groups, havd not only failed to disfurb the essential unity of the Irish people but these immigrations, with the exception of a portion of. the Scotch element in Ulster, invariably and rapidly coalesced with the existing population, and, as Mr. De Valera was ?fond of saying In America, "became more Irish than the Irish themselves." * And, if it is curious, it is nevertheless true that of the great Irishmen to whose patriotism and even martyrdom Ireland gives deepest homage the greatest of them are mA who were not fellow-worshippers with the Irish) masses in the Church of Rome, but firm and sturdy Protestants. Witness Robert Emmet, Wolf Tone, Henry | Qrattan, Lord Edward Fitzgerald, ifhomate Davis, Smith O'Brien, Isaac Butt, Charles Stewart Parnell, and. even among the living, one wno yesterday affixed In Ireland's name his signature to the agreement in Downing Street, Capt. Robert Barton. Henry Grattan was the soul and spirit of the Irish i>arliament of 1782, which since-that time has been known as "Grattan's Parliament." Against every odd he fought for Irish nationality, and his addressi at the closing session?preceeding the enforcement of the Act of Union, the enactment of which* according to Mr. Gladstone was one of the blackest pages in British history?lives in Ireland as one of the most patriotic orations. Picturesque Leaders. Lord Edward Fitzgerald was one of the most, picturesque figures in the history of the movement that led to the Revolution of 1798, a revolution almost entirely directed by Protestattts. In this connection it might be well to quote Grattan for the motive underlying this movement. He said ''The Irish Protestant can never be free till the Irish Catholic has ceased ? to be a slave." by wiiich lie referred i ' ?A to various discriminatory measures against Catholics, among which was the denial of the right of suffrage. Ldrd Edward Fitzgerald was arrested in 1798 in the house of a friend in "Dublin and during the resistance he put up against it was shot by the British soldiers, dying several days . later. Robert Emmet is one of England's \ most beloved heroes. Young, brilliant and courageous and the brother of T. Addis Emmet,- a leader of the United Irishmen movement, he struck his name from the body of Trinity of College in 1798 as a protest against the L inquisitorial examination of the po liiicai views of students and turned to political intrigue. The Revolution r b^lng broken by the British and the United Irishmen exiled over the Cur>' v i . tinent of Europe and elsewhere, young Marshal Foch Sees { ^ When Marshal FWh visited Philadc Independence HcH; of coarse, and there ' erty Bell. Emmet traveled * and cemented1 rela- c tiqns with and between the exiles, In-* .tervlewing Napoleon and obtaining g new hope. Returning to Ireland in ^ 1802 with plans for another revolt in j, arms. ;< !'} v An explosion at one of his arms depots in Dublin made it necessary b to carry out the revolt earlier than \ he had originally planned, his plans c miscarrie3 miserably, he was be- a . trayed by those upon whom he might have expected most confidently Jo q depend, and what Was to be a rebel- j, lion degenerated. into the murder by \ a handftil of rebels.oif Lord Kilwarden, j Emmet making his escape when the p futility of fqrther efforts was obvious. <i Lies in Unknown Grave. e After months qf htdjng, he was ii captured by t^e same officer who had taken Lord Edward Fitzgerald. At 1< his trial he was defended and betrayed a by the, infamous Leonard MeNally, h convicted of treason and, hanged ^ on; r Sept. 20, 1805. In an eloquent speech I s from the dock he bid no epitaph, be; t written upon hli tombstone until Ire-1 c land was free. But the location of I d his grave Is a mystery that may never be solved, for the British refused to 1 make it known. - 1< Thomasrr^diB Emmet was regarded f as among the most prudent leaders of a the United Irishmen, who embraced conspiracy and (ntrigue only when convinced that parliamentary reform s; and Catholic emancipation were not s; obtainable bv constitutional methods, t Imprisoned after the Rebellion of '98,1 g he was released in 1802 and went to! h France and Belgium to seek support j for a new rising, but when he learned a of the failure and death of Robert, his h brother, he emigrated to the United lc States, Joined the New York bar, be- C( came attorney general of New York ? and was declared by Judge story To be d "by universal consent in the first rank h of American advocates." He died k while conducting a case in 1827. His ? wife was a daughter of Rev. John Patten of Clonmel. Theobald Wolf Tone, next to Roberi s Emmet, is probably one of the most romantic of Irish historical figures. i Born in Dublin in 1763, he became " early attached to the Young Irish revolutionaries and in 1795 wrote the original declaration of the United Irishmen Society. A year later he went to Parte,-where, he obtaihed the consent of the French republic to send an expedition to Ireland under General Hoehe, hero of Dunkirk. Tone was attached to the expedition as chef de brigade, but the enterprise, afterward known as "The Expedition of Buntry Bay* was a dismal failure; I the "Irish Directory" was not ready land waiting for signals from the shore ' the French fleet was dispersed by a < ' terrific storm. Of Tone, it is said he 1 i committed suicide while in custody ofi j the British awaiting a trial he felt pos1 itive would result in his execution. "The Great Liberator Of the Catholic leaders developed in 1 Ireland Daniel O'Connell stands the, peer. "The Great Liberator" is the j | other name by which any Irishman would know him. Born in 1775, he liecame the spokesman for the Catholic | claim to political emancipation, which was achieved under his masterful and eloquent leadership. He too was the father of the Anti-Corn law movement. He suffered imprisonment and frequent humiliation for his brilliant advocacy In the British parliament of measures ' for the relief of his countrymen, and | his career spanned a j>eriod of en^?tous suffering among the Irish, not the least of w"hich was a great famine in which hundreds of thousands perished. Millions of Irishmen in the course of 'twenty years fled the country to the I four corners of the earth. Ruin was everywhere. "Now for the first time in !

Hut thirty years after O'Connell, Parnell took up his work. The Land; League had been formed by Michael Davitt to relieve distress and light for tenants' rights. Parnell used the Land; League to strengthen the nationalist1 movement, and in his light he held the1 ! people as no other man had done, not even O'Connell. Parnell fought in the !

By chosen policy satjfied with the practical independence i-ithin the British empire provided by Ir. Gladstone's ill-fated Home Ruie ills of 1886 and 1893, Parnell neverheless was convinced that "no man* an set limits to the onward march of nation." f The stirring flght of Parnell and Hadstone was followed with keenest aterest in this country and the New rork World led in furnishing news of rish events. In fact, the late Joseph 'ulitzer personally conveyed to Lonon a memorial from American citizens xpressing appreciation for the 'efforts a behalf of Irish self-government.
