The history of the British army is one long glowing record of the heroism and devotion of Irish fields, on a thousand days of trial, Leinsters and Munsters, Connaught Rangers and Fusiliers from Ulster have displayed such indomitable courage and contempt of death that the Irish pame has become a-synon for personal bravery and it consti- tutes almost an impertinence to ven- ture such a commonplace as that the Irish are a great fighting people. It need, therefore, occasion no sur- prise that the standard of bravery set by Irish soldiers in every corner of the universe is being maintained, if not surpassed, by the Royal Irish Constabulary in the defensive war they are engaged in against the evil spirits of chaos and anarchy. The courage of these Irish policemen is of the two-o'clock-in-the-morning var- fety spread over each hour of the twenty-four. On lonely hillsides, in village lanes, by day and night, sleeping and waking, death stalks by their side ever ready to pounce. There are no reserve trenches, no rest billets, no nerve cures at Le Toquet for the R.I.C. Theirs is a perpetual front line tour of duty with nothing in the shape of a para- pet to protect them from the bullet of the hidden sniper. ject to sudden bombardment will know how human it is to seek the sidewalk that affords the greater protection from flying shrapnel. But for the Irish constable there is no safe side of the street although per- haps the most dangerous spot is his own doorstep, which, with malig- nant cruelty, is often chosen as the place of assassination. Yet, through it all ,the magnificent discipline and fearless devotion of the Royal Irish Constabulary shines like a star. Never has a body of men | brought greater credit to the name of Ireland. In the present unhappy condition of this land the dogged courage shown by these country po- licemen is the one satisfactory fea- ture and Irishmen the world over may bow their heads in sorrow at the thought that good true men like these are being sent to their death by Irish hands and the sacred name of patriotism § besmirched by murder, black and foul, to further the ends of political adventures whose motives are actuated more by blind hatred of the British Empire than any real de- sire to bring prosperity to their country. > As I write all Ireland is discussing the 'Battle of Kilmallock" and its gruesome details. Broadly, the af- fair followed the now familiar lines of isolating the village in which the doomed police barrack was situated by blocking all the approaches with felled trees and -entting the -tele- graph wires. Then, at once in the morning, a' force of two hundred men armed with rifles and bombs called on the garrison of ten constables to surrender 'their charge. But the R.I.C. do not lightly deliver,up their arms or their quarters, so, without further parley, began the Battle of Kilmallock. For six hours the police gallantly 'resisted the onslaught. Their barrack was built in the peace ful long ago, when no architect dreamt of associating a police bar- rack with what military engineers J term a "field of fire." In fact, it was situated quite cosily among neighboring houses, and was 0 overlooked by a schoolhouse at the rear. All the raiders had to do, | therefore, was to occupy the most suitable vantage points and pour among the defenders. But two hours of this failed to bring the constabulary forth. In- stead, they answered fusilade with fusilade, bomb with bomb, and there could have heen little sleep for any- one within miles of Kilmallock that night. Then the raiders procured a pump and hose, saturated the build- ing with oil and set it ablage. In the western wing Sergt. King and Constable Morton were incinerated, burnt to death, but even that did not daunt the others. With magnificent determination they fought on in the blazing building until, at seven in the morning, the frustrated raiders withddrew in disgust. Thereupon the constables emerged triumphant from their blackened ruin, and at once regiments.
