s Murder is
lrreconcxlables Answer
A despatch from London
Says:—The murder of Field
Marshal Sir Henry Wilson
may be the first move toward
the renewal of a desperate out-
break of fighting in the South
of Ireland. It is the irreconcil
abies' answer to the pro -treaty
vote. 'Wilson was the direct-
ing
irec
ing mind of the Northern mili�
tary forces, and had mapped
out a forceful campaign for
the armed suppression of bor-
der lawlessness. It is believed
here that the deliberate day-
light murder, committed re-
gardless of the feet that escape
was almost hopeless for the
gunmen assigned to the job,
indicates that the :murder is an
act of revenge and terrorism,
and possibly marks the initia-
tion of open warfare by strik-
ing at the keystone of Ulster's
military strength.

Not for the lakes of glancing blue
I love this lend of mine,
Not for the dark Laurentian streams
Berimmed with spruce and pine,
Not for the blushing winter peaks
Where snows forever shine!
Rich are the fields; but not for gold'
Or wheat or dazzling ore
And not for silver fisheries

To 'count her worldly store?)
Nay! Were my land a wilderness,
Still here would I abide.
