• The Times of Tuesday published from its special corre-
spondent in Ireland some account of the Irish Volunteers who are enrolling themselves in the name of Nationalism, though it is to be noted that the Volunteers' motives are in 'some eases so unconventional that they hare not been smiled upon by the orthodox Nationalists. There was some talk early last autumn of the drilling of Nationalist Volunteers to resist the Ulster Unionists, but the real impetus to Nationalist volunteering came from the action of Captain White among the unemployed in Dublin. Captain White, who is a Pro- testant Home Ruler, espoused the Larkinite cause and became Chairman of the Dublin Civic League and drill sergeant at Liberty Hall. He seems to have attracted a fair number of students. In the South volunteering has been principally a students' movement.
