Answer—1. They have smashed in a few months the two English penal laws under which the Irish enemy were for a century deprived of the right of drilling and arming in the open.

2. They have killed the recruiting of Irish-born men into the English army.

THEIR CRIME.

They achieved the above in despite of Messrs. Redmond, Asquith, Devlin, Nugent, Kitchener and Co., whose permission they neglected to obtain before embarking on the profitless task of nation-building.

THE JUDGMENT.

Being guilty of the above crimes against Ireland, a grateful nation, loyal to kind stepmother England, who saved us from the Germans in ’98 and ’48 and ’67, will drive them into the obscurity from which they should never have emerged. England has no need of such men. The organ of the Sham Squire has cast the first stone. Let no slave hesitate to hunt them down until English rule is once again firmly established in Ireland, or, at least, until the struggling, small nations have vindicated their right to a place in the sun!
