COMMUNICATED.
To the Editor, The Empiro: v
1 am a Freeman, and I have read at
length of the horror of the English
press and people over the atrocities of
the Germans -1n-Celglam7 ?
I want you to give spaco to the views
contained in a volume of "The Happy
Irish," written by Harold Bcgblo, an
Englishman, for thoy arc my vlows of
the situation.
The artlclo Is as follows:
Not only did the English de
stroy crops and drive cattle Into
their own camps, that tho Irish
might bo starved, but they delib
erately and with cunning purpose,
made a groat slaughter of infanta.
Tho terrible phrase, almost tho
most terrible phrase In human rec
ords, "Nits will bo lico," was tho
laughing murderous and devilish
Justification for this slaughter of
babes. The steel of England's
might ran red with tho blood of
Irish infancy. Lips that had not
learned to speak a human word,
Hps that knew nothing moro than
to hang contented at the circle
of the mother's brent, were
twitched with agony, uttered
screams of desperate pain and
grew pnrple in the wrench of vio
lent death. Little feet that had
but lately got the trick of balance,
ran, stumbled and fell beforo tho
smoking swords of most inhuman
murderers. Little hands, raised
in clamorous appeal for mercy to
men who smote them down, and
set thoir heels upon those stricken
faces. "Nits will be lice," cried
theso slaughtering devils and tho
beautiful flower of Irish childhood
was crushed Into the bloody ooze
of a land that was like holl.
England can hardly afford, after
such a record, to cast cvea one
stone!
