10 THE FARMER: JTXLT 6, 1314 LAN OF 'ORANGEMEN TO EMBROIL ALL NORTH Iff WAR IF PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT IS SET UP OVER THEM (Associated Press Cable Letter.) London. -July 8 "With every week of suspense in the settlement of the fu ture government of Ireland the men ace of the military preparations by the XJlster and the Home ftule -volunteer increases. The present tendency among the volunteers of the south is to accept leadership by the National ist party which John Redmond offer ed them. Thus led, there would be a clear division .of Home Rulers and anti-Home Rule men into hostile armed camps. The very dangers of a bitter civil war which such a. prospect- pre sents, furnishes the best safeguard for peace. ' ' Correspondents of the Associated Press at Dublin and Belfast have writ ten of the situation from the Nation alist and Ulster points of view ,, respec tively. The most Interesting develop ments the plan, hitherto unpublish ed, of ,the Orangemen under Sir Ed ward Carson for taking charge of af f airs by force if a provisional govern ment is set up, and the fact that the commercial action until a 'Home Rule parliament has .been "established in Dublin." The great question which con. fronts the. Nationalist Volunteers li how far their Americas sympathizers are likely to come forward with, funds for their arms and equipment. Associated " Press Cable Letter.) "Dublin. July S Estimates" of the number of the- Irish Nationalist "Vol unteers vary between 80,000, which is the miblin Castle figure compiled by the police, and. a quarter of a million which is the estimate ' given iri plat form speeches. (Careful inquiry shows that there are 50,000 In Leihster.f which takes the lead, about 45,000 Iri Ulster (increasing rapidlj) 35.000 In Munster and 25,000 in Connaught. ' " The " "difficulty of exact estimates arises from, the fact that the-movement is not. organized and' so far are only loosely connected with the provisional central body. There hasee a' com' P'Qte wiping out of all class otistinci tions.- ar.4 the rank and file include. every grade farmers, laborers, snopj assistants, eJerks. doctors, lawyers ana ccuntry .'gentlemen; ..There is a very strong leaven of time-expired soldiers old Connaught Rangers, Dublin Fusi liers and-Mu"nster Fusiliers, and their experience ' is proving -useful in the drill. -v ' ' : i : . 1' ' The chief military commanders are' Colonel Maurice Moore, ho, com manded the Connaught Rangers in the Boer War, a. son of the General White, who'defended Ladysmith, Recent ac cessions are Sir Henry rattan Bel lew, a grandsori" of the " great Henry Grattanf who ; had experience in the Fifth Dragon Guards; arid Cajttaifl Bellingham, brother i f- the Marchion ess of Bute, who Is at present an aide-, de-camp to the Lord Lieutenant. Mili tary experience, however slight, is at a premium, and a medical student, with a little volunteer training. Is com manding as sergeant a 'squad which includes, among the' privates, a uni versity professor-of law. . The army has extremely little equip ''ment and almost no money. But the material Is excellent and the enthu siasm' unbounded. " Mr. Redmond's open association with the movement will remove the difficulty of getting money. The men in charge of " the movement are for the', most ' part n?! knoits .and there has been' much' re--luctance to provide funds. till the public-knew who would spend -the money and for what. ' . " X The central bor consists ot twenty- five men, of them fifteen are said to be Home Rulers ' Jn sympathy . with Mr. Redmond, but the more active, in fluential and effective spirits are mem bers of the Fein party. They have few supporters in the country and the great bulk of. the volunteers are supporters of Redmond. Mr. Red mond offered his co-operation to the Central body if he was allowed to nominate an equal number of. men on it, pending the election of the volun teer branches of a central executive! Failing acceptance he will recommend ccupany to govern" itself. This offer was rejected . on a hastily summoned meeting of the executives Tha proposed that each county should e'ect a representative to sit with them. This has produced strong protest from Professor Kerr, who says the meeting was not properly convened and asks for a full meeting when the members, would accept Mr. Redmond's offer. Mr. "Redmond cannot allow movement mainly composed of. his supporters to t-e commanded by a sei;-quai'i3ed body of which the most active "members are opponents of his. Once the Tolun- . tcer members can hold their conven tion to check an executive the matter win settle itself. Meantime there may be friction which will be obviated to a great extent by making each county govern its own volunteers. (Associated Press Cable- Letter.) ' Belfast. July The leaders of the Covenanters irt Ulster profess to con sider the' Nationalist volunteer' move ment as something not to be taken seriouslv. These Nationalist bands in the Ulster counties drill spasmodi cally and are., not connected with any central, organisation. All the "local leaders act entirely on their own in itiative. In some districts the volun teers are spllf up'into factions under opposing Jeaders who carry on a news paper warfare. . The Ulster leaders say that the Na tionalist volunteers 'must fail through the impossibility of getting arms. They claim o have many letters from Amerlua showing that the Irish there are tired of contributing to Home Ru'e .and now that .they contddeT an lr ii parliament assured, they pro potfc to let those in Ireland settle their internal questions without help Even if American sympathizers should refill that wjr "ht th Tvreeni- Mvartwnf measures to suppress gun running iri all ports would checkmate them. "We have two years start in the matter of arming and we mean to keep it," an official of the Ulster Unionist Council said to the Asseciat ed Press. In many (Ulster villages the Nation alist bands are being drilled by retired army sergeants near the halls and par ade grounds of the Ulster battalions and the townspeople are able to watch the preparations of both forces! There were 2500 Nationalist volun teers in Belfast about the middle of Jane and many more in Londonderry city where Catholics and Protestants are much more evenly ' balanced in numbers. In the Covenanter movement there two distinct factions at present. ; One is a militant section which advocates Immediate provocative action," with the belief that bloodshed would shock the English non-conformists aid force Asquith to grant Ulster's demand for permanent exclusion from an Irish government. - The other faction :which includes . important business men fought successfully to prevent the declaration if at provisional govern ment for Ulster when the Home Rule bill . passed the third reading in the House of Commons. The first faction now clamors to have the provisional government set "up when the Kins signs the bill, while the more conserv ative business Interests Counsel Jelay until the. Irish parliament in Dublin is launched. 1 Sir Edward Carson sid ed with the latter faction at the last conference of leaders here. Meantime the volunteers, saturated with the miliary spirit are becoming impatient. Some battalions have even sent: deputations of officers to head quarters t6 ask"- when the , campaign would begin, and the work of keeping the. .bald spirits quiet is Increasingly difficult. - The headquarters staff has worked out ,a plan of campaign for hostilities. It is not likely that they will attempt, to. use this citizen force against train ed regulars with heavy guns, for as one officer remarked, the- most they could expect would be to "put up one good fight' and be cut t6 pieces. " The present plans are to keep the Ulster Nationalists in check when the pro visional government is set up. Most -of the .Belfast volunteers are being formed into four regiments known as, the " Belfast Division -which will act as -a police force. A flying column composed of 3,500 picked and paid volunteers, a majority of whom are "old soldiers,, has been - organized as a. fjrst line striking force with mo tor' transport capable of conveying Jt to any part of Ulster in less than four hours. - This force -is armed through out with new Mausers and possesses, ten Maxims of the latest pattern. Cer tain' 'bounty regiments, especially those of Antrim and Armagh, would go on active service with this cplumn, while other county regiments including Lon donderry must remain at home to sup press the Nationalists. ' - - . . If thei" provisional" government were established the . flying column would be sent to Londonderry, where- the Na tionalists are strongest, while the "East and "West Belfast - regiments would form double cord&ns around the two Nationalist districft of this city, vith Maxims covering' the -principal streets. Information that the" Nationalists are bringing in carboys of -vitrol whish women would pour on the troops from windows as they poured boiling water during - the rioting some years ago has reached."

' CSpeciaJ to The Farmer.) r-Newtown, July 6. What was calcu lated to be only the simple ceremony, of raising the American flag on the new flagpole," and the presentation of the flagpole to the people of New town, was made by a. singular gather ing of all the people of the- town, 4 genuine old fashioned ' Fourth of July celebration. A 'soon as the fact that the flagpole -conmiittee,v Rev. George T. ginnott, H. S. Principal Ll M. John son and -Borough Warden OharleS G. Peek, had decided that tithe flag' rais ing would take place on Ind'ependence Day -at S a. m.. with no set program, the patriotic people all over town took impromptu, measures to make the af fair 'worthy of the day and the occa sion. First, the Sandy Hook ' brass band volunteered Its services, and dif ferent eoloists from the choirs of the Taroua churches got together and agreed that a good chorus -should be present. Among these' leaders were Mrs. W. F. Hale, Dr. W. Clement Kennedy and wife, tnd W. A- Tom-J-inson of Bridgeport. - S ,. ' ' At- the early hour hundreds of peo ple from, all over town were gathered near the flagpole, n"oot, in -carriages and in automobiles. ; The committee were on hand ta perform 'their simple duty; so also was First Selectman W, C. Johnson to- raise the flag. The dem onstration of patriotic feeling1 in the court surprised them, but they rose to the occasion, and -Newtown witnessed a celebration -which for spontaneity and enthusiasm has. not 'been, equalled in a generation. , ; J The scene of the demonstration has indeed a. historic, setting. The bea.Bjti ful flagpole is In the center of the road where the gentle eloping terrace of Main street dips eastward and south ward to the plains. Flanking it to the westward ,is the old historic Congre gational church whose origin Is con temporary with the town, and which this year will ce! eta-ate its fci-centen-' nial; to the southeast diagonally across the street. the turrets of Trinity church cast a, geometric figure at the base of, the pole as the .sun's light shot arfross these ornaments of - the church tower; while -to the eastward Just over the crest of the "road, the gilded cross of St- Rose's church was visible to the participants as it gleam ed In the early morning lights These three edifices, recalling as they did the - epochs of the settlement of the town; the .dissension in the older ec clesiastical society caused by the ex igencies: of tbe , Revolutionary war which resulted in the birth of Trinity, all now happily past; and the gleam ing cross which arose from the plain following . the advent of that later European emigration from an integral part of the Britten empire that flowed over this land' in the years between 1860 and 1880, and from which this New England townytoeneflted. For the whole celebration took" on the tone and coloring of a patriotism, that ia the fragrance of the triune graces of love of God, love of the. home and love of liberty, which have made, and will continue to make- our country a God-fearing nation, and our state a Christian commonwealth. This was the keynote of the address of Rev. George T. Sinnott in turning over to the town the beautiful flagpole; and it was accepted on behalf of the town- toy First Selectman W. C. Johnson in the same spirit of - our dependence as human beings, as citizens, as a nation, upon the" acknowledgment of an all mastering Providence in this world. Selectman Johnson's . Speech of , Ac ceptance. We are gathered here today to cele brate the raising of this : magnificent flag ' pole, and unfurl Old Glory to the breeze, and the Men's Literary club, having charge of the erection of the 'pole, and the hoisting of the flag, have, through their committee, honored me, by asking that X accept the pole, in the name of the board of selectmen, and the town. - I wish to say to. the. Men's club, that in mak ing this request, you honor the town also, for it is a credit, to have upon its streets a flag pole and flag as grand and beautiful as this, largely through your efforts. We are told that the tree from which this pole was taken grew on the Pacific coast, , and is what is known as Oregon pine". We have no good reason to doubt this "statement. This tree, I believe, was planted by the hand of Almighty God, on our far western coast, , with snow capped mountains standing as senti nels, as ft towered toward the skies. It was nursed and . caressed by the soft winds of the Pacific, until felled by the woodman's axe. It was then transported across the continent and stands today, planted by the hand of man on the hill top. of .this beautiful New England village. Let us guard it, and the principles for . which it stands, with fidelity;, and may it please "Almighty God, that none of us shall ever raise our hand to destroy it, and allow no stain to appear upon our flag. ' In accepting this flag pole from the Men's Literary club, we have to thank the flag pole committee, for their earnest and untiring efforts by which it has been possible to secure and raise this splendid flag pole. Their efforts would have been in vain, but for the generous way in which they were received by our townspeople. Generous contributions have also been made .by those, who, while native born, have chosen to make their homes ' elsewhere in. New England, and we find warm friends from the west, middle . west, ; and southern states, who have given freely of their purses in the cause. At this time, we must not forget that we are indebted in no small way to State Highway Commissioner Ben nett, for what seems to a great many, if "not all of us, as the most suitable place to locate this pole. While the commissioner has withheld for some time his consent to having the flag pole placed where it now stands, the hesitancy on his part was for the public good; as he saw it, and as he believed. It was because of-hisuleep and kindly interest -in the welfare of the State,as well as the town, that he hesitated.- The question no doubt caused him mnch worry, until at-last he left the responsibility largely with the select men, and this is the result. We thank him for his business-like and kindly manner of treating us. We. cannot value too. highly the fact that we have a. well organized band In oar midst, and 'our. thanks are due. the Sandy Hook , Brass Band for the interest they have taken in onr celebration, by leaving their business or their homes thus early in the day, to. as sist us in a joyful, and patriotic flag raising. " " ' I thank you all for what you have given the town, 'and for your kind at tention, and though the winds and storms along this" Atlantic seaboard, may at timea seem to 'deal harshly with this fla pole and Old" Glory, though our heads may be white with the enow that -never melts, "let us stand as sentinels, over an inheritance handed down to tss by our" fatbecS, that these little ones and those that j come . after, may enjoy . n - , "For it is my flag. -' And it is your flag, ' , And the flag of us all. - When Mr. Johnson ended, the hand, under the leadership of Arth ur . Beard, ' began ' the initial number of its pro gram, "America, Joined in by a cho rus of voices that was harmony itself. Then, "at the request of the commit tee, a,U turned and. 'saluted the flag flying aloft which had aj ready been raised to the ball surmounting - the spire 4y Mr. Johnson as directed- by ' the committee in charge. ' This was the only part of the program pre arranged.' 'Next the hand struck up the heart-stirrtog , war eowg, "Rally Round the Flag. Boys, while- from the eidewalk a, column ,f school chil dren dressed in the national colors and hearing flags marched in a wide detour encircling the flagpole and. re turned to their station.

The- rev erend speaker, owing to insufficient noticej. spoke from 'manuscript. - 4 Father Slnnott's Address . " "Assembled iere this morning to raise this emblem of patriotism we be speak on this day a' cordial unity of feeling For years has it been the custom In New- England towns to un furl the emblem of our country,- on a1 tall flag, pole in the center of their localities, that Its lesson of patriotism might' ihe an Inspiration to . the chil dren of the community and to tflW for eigner coming to our shores. . Love of God, lova of. country and love of .home are .. the three ' representative virtues that it presence inspires and makes on good; citizens.' "' Each is intimately united and each intimately bound up with the. other. - Love of God makes us respect the rights of the neighbor, love, of country the rights of our. fel low ' citizens ' and love of home the members of our families.- - I find these 'all. signified by the tall flagstaff with its -flying, emblem that surmounts; -the hill in your pretty town. Love -of God is symbolized because its tall spire points like the turrets of your churches to the home of Him who rules our des I tinlesl ' Love of country is symbolis ed for the waving emblem of" the na tion shakes out its folds and drops its blessings of liberty -and freedom o'er the roofs of your homes, which liberty has been procured by the blood shedding of our noble ancestors. Lova of home is typified because' the straight staff that supports the- emblem can be made a figure typifying the strong character? of the father of the-home Joined with - the protecting - folds of the wife's love both showering peace, harmony, contentment of life, that works out best for the prosperity of the , nation, of which each individual home is a unit, in its formation.! "The home is the center of unity, for, from it radiates the characters of the citizens that go to make the villages, towns and cities of our nation . and therefore is. it well In our midst to erect in the -very center of our lo cality the emblem of our country. . Fly It-high, fly it often, fly it long. Let its colors be seen by the stranger en tering. Let them be seen, by the chil dren at. play... Let, them be seen. -by all, 1 hat all mar be Inspired by- The housewife' busy with her daily tasks sees If from her window . and counts the i stars of statehood, represented on its . azure square. . The man sees it and patriotism moves him to salute it with lifted hat. -The boy and girl see it and remember the stories on the pages of history of the heroes that fought and bled fos it. ' And thus the town inspired by its -rection and set ting, ' is bettered for its -existence and the nation numbers more patriots will ing to fight for it. , - "Political parties divide in their 'opin ions as to the best methods of advanc ing its glories, - but political .- parties unite in preserving it from stain. The heroes of the past look to us all to us to salute it. , The martyrs of the past cry out to us to defend it; and the Washingtons, Jeffersons, Lincoln s and Grants apostrophize those who in sult It. "It is the lesson of the Declaration .of Independence. - - "It's a story of the War of 1813. . " "It's the dramatic'' symbol of '62, the progressive , emblem of '98 and the glorious emblem of Vera Cruz. """ - No town can be without it and not suffer from its absence. No citizen can be hold it and not feel its Inspiration. In times, of peace a symbol of unity. In times of war a symbol of strength.. So strong indeed has a national emblem grown into the life ot- every people that from earliest ages it has inspired ' the courage of men. " "It may be news to some of you to know that it is the oldest flag in ' its present design of any civilized nation. Historical research of Francis Scott Key, the grandson of' the writer . of 'The Star Spangled Banner,' gives us the authority. For the date of its making, June, 17777, ' one year, after tile signing of the Declaration of Inde pendence,, saw its birth, while the flags of England and - of France, in their present condition, saw a later birth Thus has it grown. Thus has it in spired. ' "And so strongly has it tone so that an insult to the national emblem is an invitation to war. Since men at large feel this way could we have done a prettier thing than to replace in our town the flag and pole that some time ago met with destruction Could we have done a better thing' than to re place it and let it continue to teach its lessons? Nor could you have chos en a better location 'than to place It on this highway center where entering and leaving visitors might see its sym bol of our loyalty to our country. You should thank the eommit&ff) who worked so hard f csf Isa ereenim. Ton should thank the generous ones who f gave from their means " the monies to procure it and you should appreciate and -value Its worth in your "midst. In this way will you learn- to love it.'

He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew QueaJey of Hartford, and he was the object of general notice during the whole celebration. . The Sandy Hook" band then played several other patriotic airs, including "Dixie, and at 11 a. m., two hours after , its beginning . the . most unique celebration of Independence Day in the history of the town came to its close with lusty cheers and a tiger for the flag, the band, and the speakers. History of the JFiag-FoleV For or-rr 75 years this town has al ways .had a flag pole in the Center. But in 1876 was erected the first flag pole that the generations now living remember. It stood near the position the : new flagpole occupies. ' It soon rotted-and -was replaced by another shaft, the gift of William N. Northrop, sv former- first select m-tn -and state senator from this district." The spire of this second pole .was: shattered 'by lightning and a. new mast was put in its place through : the 5 initiative of John'. J Northrop, son of William N. Northrop, deceased, who interested the Men's club in the matter , "about fifteen years ago, so that the spire was replaced. "The pole did duty, till- Feb.
