SIX DAYS IN IRELAND
Subscriptions: $1.50 per year,
Dealing With My Visit To Belfast and
Its Many Places Of Interest
(13y Pte, II,• Bellamy)
Of hoildays and soldiers' furlougho
it may at least be contended that they
involve to periede of undiluted eojoy-
ment, them of anticipation apd the
calm -if sometimes chastened -season
of retroepect. Between, however,
these seasons of satisfaction there
stretches the actual time of holidaying
and as I reflect upon that portion of
my Ireland visit spent in Dublin, I am
struck by the fact that, apart from its
educational featuree and the insight it
afforded one of the real condition of
political affairs in Ireland, I can't say
that I really enjoyed my short stay
in the Irish capital, and I must collies°
that it was with a sigh of relief, that
I boarded the train at Amiens streets
station on the morning of July 1203,
for Belfast and the north of Ireland,
The atmosphere in Dublin was too
'"elactric" as it were and Sinn Fein
hospitality was not such as to make
It conducive to a soldier's enjoyment
and comfort. There is no love lost
between thoseen khaki and the Irish
rebels.
The journey from Dublin up thropgh
the fertile counties of Meath, Lough
and Down to Belfast, along the Eastern
coast is not without a certain amount
of interest, as it takes it traveler
through very mountainous and pictur-
esque regions and splendid agricultur-
al districts, beautiful panoramas greet-
ing the eye on every side. The grassy
elopes of the many mountains and
hills, bedecked bere an there with
the proverbial Irishman's shanty of
whitewashed walla and thatched roofs
the rich fertile valleys, the quaint
little Irish villages and the jagged grey
cliffs along the seashore, served to
make a very, interesting journey.
That the Irishman, war or no war, will
always have an abundance of his fav-
ourite vegetable -the potato -was
strikingly illustrated to me as I pass
fields upon fields of rich, healthy look-
ing crops of "spuds" -fields which ap-
pear to a traveler to be alnsost as num-
erous in Ireland as wheatfields are in
Canada. Potatoes seemed to be grow-
ing everywhere: There seemed to be
no room for the proverbial donkey,
goat and pig, although the latter cer-
tainly were in evidence. Stopping at
one village foil a few moments I de-
cided to take a stroll down the one
main thoroughfare the inhabitants
could boast of, and a truly typical
Irish burgI found it bo be. A street
Arab community of hens, doge, geese
and donkeys, inceseant and clarion -
toned in their addresses to one anoth-
er -creatures who treated life as a
lounge-gretted my eyes as I reached
the "market square." "Paddies" and
"Bridgets" were standing in the door-
ways of their cottages and shanties,
platoons of juveniles and kiddies were

Arriving at Belfast at noon I found
myself jostling through crowds and
crowds of people which thronged the
streets, for was not this day Belfastar
and Ulster's great and glorious day -
the 121h of July. In other countries
one day only is eet apart for the cele-
bration of the anniversary of the Battle
of the Boyne, but in Belfast it seems
they set, aside from three days to a
whole week. It is holiday week, and
the 12e.h particularly is it gala day for
Belfast's thousands of Orangemen and
their friende.
Although shorn of much of its, dis-
play and color, I was told by it stree
acquaintances, owing to causes whioli
are justifiable, the celebration was in.
deed a most imposing one and I re-
garded myself as being particularly
fortunate in having arrived in Belfast
for this event, The martial strains
of the life and drum resounded through
the city streets vehich were literally
packed with merry -makers and the
"walk" or proceseion was several miles
long.
The venue of the celebration was at
Finaghy, a pretty pastoral aletrict be-
yond Balmoral, at the mat northern
gate of the eity, in the ver?' district
through which King William of glor.

Dealing With My Visit To Belfast and
Its Many Places Of Interest
(13y Pte, II,• Bellamy)
Of hoildays and soldiers' furlougho
it may at least be contended that they
involve to periede of undiluted eojoy-
ment, them of anticipation apd the
calm -if sometimes chastened -season
of retroepect. Between, however,
these seasons of satisfaction there
stretches the actual time of holidaying
and as I reflect upon that portion of
my Ireland visit spent in Dublin, I am
struck by the fact that, apart from its
educational featuree and the insight it
afforded one of the real condition of
political affairs in Ireland, I can't say
that I really enjoyed my short stay
in the Irish capital, and I must collies°
that it was with a sigh of relief, that
I boarded the train at Amiens streets

for Belfast and the north of Ireland,
The atmosphere in Dublin was too
'"elactric" as it were and Sinn Fein
hospitality was not such as to make
It conducive to a soldier's enjoyment
and comfort. There is no love lost
between thoseen khaki and the Irish
rebels.
The journey from Dublin up thropgh
the fertile counties of Meath, Lough
and Down to Belfast, along the Eastern
coast is not without a certain amount
of interest, as it takes it traveler
through very mountainous and pictur-
esque regions and splendid agricultur-
al districts, beautiful panoramas greet-
ing the eye on every side. The grassy
elopes of the many mountains and
hills, bedecked bere an there with
the proverbial Irishman's shanty of
whitewashed walla and thatched roofs
the rich fertile valleys, the quaint
little Irish villages and the jagged grey
cliffs along the seashore, served to
make a very, interesting journey.
That the Irishman, war or no war, will
always have an abundance of his fav-
ourite vegetable -the potato -was
strikingly illustrated to me as I pass
fields upon fields of rich, healthy look-
ing crops of "spuds" -fields which ap-
pear to a traveler to be alnsost as num-
erous in Ireland as wheatfields are in
Canada. Potatoes seemed to be grow-
ing everywhere: There seemed to be
no room for the proverbial donkey,
goat and pig, although the latter cer-
tainly were in evidence. Stopping at
one village foil a few moments I de-
cided to take a stroll down the one
main thoroughfare the inhabitants
could boast of, and a truly typical
Irish burgI found it bo be. A street
Arab community of hens, doge, geese
and donkeys, inceseant and clarion -
toned in their addresses to one anoth-
er -creatures who treated life as a
lounge-gretted my eyes as I reached
the "market square." "Paddies" and
"Bridgets" were standing in the door-
ways of their cottages and shanties,
platoons of juveniles and kiddies were
romping on the tiled floors inside and
everywhere there was that quaintness
simplicity and tranquility which
characterize the life of the Irish peas-
ant. Even the donkeys seemed to fit
in appropriately and seemed as if they
had, for want possibly of other am-
ploymenb, adopted the position of
town criers to the village, or perhaps
were it prophets, There were several
small dingy looking shop or stores in
the place, where I supposed, more
Home Rule and political arguments
took place in past years around the
fire places than sales were made across
the counter' but as I, had only a few
moments, ett my disposal I did not ex-
plore their interior.
Proceeding on our way northward
several towns were passed througb,
towns which seemed to be of great
industrial importance because of the
large number of linen factories located
therein,

Arriving at Belfast at noon I found
myself jostling through crowds and
crowds of people which thronged the
streets, for was not this day Belfastar
and Ulster's great and glorious day -
the 121h of July. In other countries
one day only is eet apart for the cele-
bration of the anniversary of the Battle
of the Boyne, but in Belfast it seems
they set, aside from three days to a
whole week. It is holiday week, and
the 12e.h particularly is it gala day for
Belfast's thousands of Orangemen and
their friende.
Although shorn of much of its, dis-
play and color, I was told by it stree
acquaintances, owing to causes whioli
are justifiable, the celebration was in.
deed a most imposing one and I re-
garded myself as being particularly
fortunate in having arrived in Belfast
for this event, The martial strains
of the life and drum resounded through
the city streets vehich were literally
packed with merry -makers and the
"walk" or proceseion was several miles
long.
The venue of the celebration was at
Finaghy, a pretty pastoral aletrict be-
yond Balmoral, at the mat northern
gate of the eity, in the ver?' district
through which King William of glor.
ions, pine and immortal memory,
passed on his way from Carrickfergus
to the Boyne 227 yeare age to achieve
thtt victory which will ever be a land-
mark id the hb3tOry of Greet Britain
and Ireland,
I followed the crowds to Finaghy,
where an enormous gathering, the
largest 1 have ever been in, had mom.
