THROUGH inadvertence, no notice of the death of Miss Mary Mac Swiney appeared in the first number of this Record—a pity, for Miss Mac Swiney's place in the history of our country is assured. She played her great part in a great period with utter sincerity and unfailing courage: her brother, Terence, and she were of a piece. Those who, knowing her already as a public figure, came in contact with her face to face, in her own house or in her own school, were astonished: they had not reckoned on finding such unruffled serenity of spirit, such clarity of thought, such precision of speech; nor were they prepared for her charitableness in judging her political opponents: rough judgments from their own lips they found unwelcomed. To hear Miss Mac Swiney speak from a platform for perhaps a full hour with not a note in her hard, yet without the least hitch in her argument, without a single carelessly fashioned sentence or a slurred syllable, was an experience that one did not forget. With such gifts naturally hers in part, altogether hers as a devoted spirit, it must have come easy to her in a way to develop in her pupils that love of culture for its own sake and that sense of truth they came unwittingly and brightly from her hands to face the world with. This College takes pride in having her name, as also her brother's name, on its roll of graduates. She was also a member of our Governing Body from 1919 to 1922. D.O.C. --- Page 11 --- SAINT PATRICK'S ARRIVAL IN IRELAND, AT EARLY DAWN The Mirror Now ★ 1945 --- Page 12 --- 4 drisk Workers Weekly (Review) APRIL, 1945 In Memory of Frank Ryan BY the death of Frank Ryan, Ireland has lost an outstanding citizen and the cause of Republicanism and democratic liberty a fearless champion. He was a Republican in the best tradition of Tone, Mitchel, Lalor and Connolly, believing that Ireland's fight for independence was bound up with the struggle of all oppressed peoples and classes for freedom. Like Connolly, he measured freedom in terms of the welfare of the common people, the workers in the factories, offices and on the land. From boyhood he was associated with the independence struggle and was also an active worker in the movement for the revival of the language. He By SEAN NOLAN underwent several terms of imprisonment for his political activities. Following the Civil War of 1922, he resumed his studies at the National University, and while a student there formed the Universities Republican Club. In the years prior to 1934 he was prominently associated with the I.R.A. and was editor of that organisation's paper, "An Phoblacht." When the split in the I.R.A. took place in 1934, he, along with Peadar O'Donnell, George Gilmore, Michael Price, and others, led the left-wing section, favouring the adoption of a social policy based on the immediate needs of the common people. He was a joint-secretary of the Republican Congress and edited its weekly paper. A journalist by profession, he was a member of the Dublin Branch of the National Union of Journalists. IN December, 1936, he went to Spain to fight with the Republican forces and led the Irish Section of the International Brigade. Wounded in battle at Brunette, he returned home in 1937, when he edited the "Irish Democrat," and engaged in activity supporting the Republican cause in Spain. Returning to Spain in June, 1937, he resumed his post with the Irish Section and also found time to edit the "History of the International Brigade." He was captured in battle early in 1938, being later courtmartialled and sentenced to death by General Franco's forces. This sentence was commuted to 30 years' imprisonment. In 1939, following the conclusion of the war in Spain, a great campaign was started for his repatriation, this being widely supported in Britain and America, as well as at home. When all United States and British subjects had been repatriated from Spanish prisons great hopes were entertained that Frank Ryan would be allowed to return home. This did not happen and he was left in Burgos jail, his health becoming impaired. IN July, 1940, Press reports stated that Frank Ryan was at liberty. It was not stated at that time nor since that he had been released, and no information about him was made available until the announcement of his death. It is stated that his health caused him much trouble in recent years. He was ill in December, 1942, and in January, 1943, had a stroke. He was ill again in the autumn of 1943 with stomach ulcers and heart strain. In February, 1944, he had an attack of pneumonia and had to spend several months at a sanatorium. His final illness occurred on June 5, 1944 when he had a haemorrhage, and on June 10 he died at Loschwitz Sanatorium near Dresden. It is further stated that he had no connection with any political activities during his period in Germany. No public statement has been made by the Government, this information being conveyed to his relatives and some friends by a representative of the Department for External Affairs. --- Page 13 --- 19 19 CHERCHEZ 'HOMACE' OR THE TRUTH ABOUT NURSE CADDEN A PLAY BY DON ALWYN Characters Polly .....A Barmaid Judge George .....

Heurtley, the present owner of Derrynane Abbey, and a great-grand-daughter of the Liberator, photographed with her architect husband. WILL THE STATE SAVE DAN O'CONNELL'S HOME FOR THE NATION? IT is reported that the State has been approached, through a Dublin firm of Solicitors, to ascertain whether it would be willing to acquire Derrynane, the romantically situated ancestral home of the O'Connell Family, as a museum and national park. It has been further stated that the matter has been under consideration by the Tourist Board, and that an Inspector from the Board will shortly visit Derrynane, accompanied by an official from the National Museum, who will make an inventory of the objects associated with Daniel O'Connell. These include presentation silver and plate, pictures, furniture and other articles. Inquiries by our Dublin representative failed to obtain confirmation or denial of these reports, but Mrs. Heurtley, the present representative of the Derrynane family, as owner of Derrynane, told a Kerryman staff reporter that the approach to the State had definitely been made, as it was considered the only means by which Derrynane Abbey and grounds could be properly maintained and prevented from eventually falling into alien or unsympathetic hands. Mrs Walter Heurtley inherited Derrynane from her sister, Miss K. O'Connell, in 1941, but, as she then lived in England, she has only recently been able to occupy it, owing to the war. Her sister, Miss Fanny O'Connell, has been living there, in her absence. The property was left to Mrs. Heurtley for life, then to her sister, after whose death it will go to their first cousin, Captain Maurice, whose consent to the change of ownership would almost certainly be forthcoming. SHOULD BELONG TO THE NATION. Three generations of O'Connells have safeguarded the home of the Liberator and its historic treasures, which the present owners feel should rightfully belong to the nation. The upkeep and maintenance of Derrynane is an item which requires State interest, and it is hoped that the Government will not stand by and allow the continuance of the deterioration which has already set in. Readers will agree that the house of Daniel O'Connell must never be permitted to share the fate of the many fine old Irish mansions that have been handed over for demolition. Derrynane, or Derrynane Abbey it is sometimes called, from its proximity to the ruins of an ancient monastery of that name, is situated near the shore of the Atlantic at the (Continued on Page 3) Miss Fanny O'Connell, sister of Mrs. Heurtley, who has looked after Derrynane since 1941.

Derrynane For The Nation? (Continued from Page 1.) western extremity of the parish of Kilcrohane, barony of Dunkerron, about fourteen miles south-west from the town of Kenmare. MANSION NOW DILAPIDATED. The mansion is an extensive, but irregular, pile of building, partly in the cartellated style, and was much enlarged in the time of the Liberator, who also greatly improved the approaches, and extended the shrubberies and plantations as far as the situation, so much to the western gales, would permit. The mansion is now dilapidated, and for many years it has not been possible to keep it in proper repair. Some of the outbuildings have also fallen into disrepair, and the demestic and gardens have been neglected. The property is about 300 acres in all, and it includes Abbey Island with the ruins of the thirteenth century monastery. Derrynane is surrounded by schery of the wildest and most romantic description, terminating in the north by a range of rugged and lofty mountains, from the summit of which is glorious view of the western coast is obtained, embracing the entrances to the bays of Bantry and Kenmare, the bay of Ballinskelligs, Durrey Island and the Skellig's Isles. --- Page 16 --- [ALTO file: no text lines] --- Page 17 --- beidea River Coluster DA River fa Céann Una ní Ailpig.

O'NEILL'S ARMY. --- Page 24 --- EXECUTION OF WILLIAM JOYCE E. H. Joyce 1946 William Joyce. WILLIAM JOYCE—"Lord Haw Haw" of the German Radio—was executed to-day at Wandsworth Prison, London, at 10 a.m. (Irish summer time), seven months and six days after his capture near the Danish frontier by British officers, says a P.A. message. He maintained complete composure throughout his trial, and afterwards when in the condemned cell at Wandsworth Prison he played chess with the prison officers. Joyce's wife, herself a military prisoner at Holloway Prison, saw him almost daily since his appeal was dismissed by the House of Lords. More than 50 people waited on the frosty pavements outside the main entrance of the prison before 9 a.m. to-day. Joyce was last seen by his wife, brought specially from Holloway Prison, nine miles away on the other side of London, his brother Quinten, and his sister. They each saw him separately to say goodbye. Four sympathisers of Joyce, three men and a woman, were among the early arrivals. One of the men, wearing a khaki double-breasted lumber jacket, knee breeches and strapped ankle boots, told a P.A. reporter that he knew Joyce and had visited him in prison. "MAN OF DESTINY" "Joyce behaved as you would expect a man of destiny to deport himself—in the manner in keeping with his place in history," he said. Extra police were on duty, and news reel photographers mounted their cameras on cars. Two minutes before the time of the execution the crowd, which had swelled to about 250 people, including women with shopping baskets, men on their way to work, and soldiers, surged up to the prison gates to await the posting of the notice announcing that the execution had been carried out. This was duly posted at eight minutes past the hour. While the crowd stood silently watching the posting of the notice the man in the lumber jacket removed his trilby hat and stood bare-headed to attention. It is understood that Joyce's brother, Quinten, was attending a memorial service to Joyce elsewhere in London. At the inquest, Mr. Hervey Wyatt, the Coroner, said: "We are not concerned in the least with whatever crimes this man has committed. We are to satisfy ourselves that the sentence of the law has been properly carried out." Det. Sergt. Reeves Fletcher, Special Branch, giving evidence of identification, stated: "I have known Joyce by sight and to speak to for about ten years in connection with my special duty." "I arrested him at the airport at Hants on June 16, when he was brought over from the Continent, and I have been in charge of him ever since." A verdict of death by judicial hanging was recorded. At the inquest, conducted by Mr. Hervey Wyatt, Coroner, Det.-Sergeant Reeves Fletcher, Special Branch, giving evidence of identification, stated:— "I have known Joyce by sight and to speak to for about ten years in connection with my special duty." "I arrested him at Oldham Airport, Hants, on June 16, when he was brought over from the Continent, and I have been in charge of him ever since." Sir Bernard Spilsbury said that death was instantaneous, and the Governor of the prison said that Joyce made no complaints. The jury, whose request to see the body was granted, returned a verdict of judicial hanging. Galway Connections Our Galway correspondent writes: William Joyce arrived in Galway with his parents in or about 1916, and his father secured appointment as manager of the General Omnibus Company which ran a bus service between Eyre Square, Galway, and the seaside suburb of Salthill. The family lived at 1 Ruttledge Terrace, Rockbarton, Salthill, a house now owned by Mr. M. J. Allen, solr. After about six years, they left for England. William was aged nine or ten when the family came to Galway. He attended St. Ignatius' College and was soon distinguishing himself in class. He led his class in languages and history and on one occasion he wrote a composition on his impressions of a trip on Lough Corrib which so impressed his teachers that it was read aloud to all the classes, including the senior boys, as a model of English writing. Although he did not associate with the other boys, no real rift arose until he made it clear that his sympathies were pro-British, and this at a time when Ireland was engaged in a fierce struggle against British occupation forces, and in a city which was one of the centres of the independence movement. Joyce associated with the Black and Tans, and his school-fellows and others recall that they often saw him out with the Crown forces in a Crossley tender. He was a frequent visitor to Lenaboy Castle, Galway, then occupied by the Black and Tans and now an orphanage. This associationship with the occupation forces led him into many scraps with other boys, and in those fights his physical courage made itself evident. His earlier years in America may have accounted for his "accent"; his school-fellows merely remember it as "somewhat different." His choice of words in speech, however, was ornate. William is the only member of the family about whom there is any clear recollection in Galway; the others were too young to be known. When William left Galway with his parents about the time that the British garrison left, he was about sixteen. IRISH PRESS 4 JANUARY 1946 --- Page 25 --- Freedom of Dublin Offered to Mr. Shaw DUBLIN Corporation last night adopted a motion by Mr. James Larkin, senior, to "request Mr. George Bernard Shaw to honour the citizens by accepting an invitation to become a Freeman of his native city." Ald. B. Butler, T.D.; Mr. J. J. O'Byrne and Mr. John J. Phelan spoke against the proposition. They again opposed when it was put to the meeting, but the motion was carried without a vote. "I have been asked," said Mr. Larkin, "if I have the permission of Shaw in putting forward this motion. What has Shaw to do with whether I put down a motion or not?" "I was waited upon by some eminent citizens to know if he had agreed to accept if the honour were conferred on him." "How do I know how the mind of George Bernard Shaw works? Nobody knows. He was born in this city, and we have not given him the measure of freedom to which he is entitled." "MAN THE WORLD RESPECTS." "He is a man the world loves and respects as a great teacher, philosopher, poet and dramatist. We should take pride in him." "When this nation was in jeopardy in 1939 this man and his good wife were the first to walk into our High Commissioner's office in London and say 'put us down as an Irishman and Irish woman.'" He stood up in a time of crisis—that is the time you realise the value, stature, magnitude and power of any man. "Some times they say he is not of this nation. This nation of our has a peculiar adaptability. It takes all the great men of the world to her breast, and they become greater men of the nation than those, possibly, who have a more direct connection with the soil." "He is a Gael of the Gaels. Unfortunately, he has a difference about the language. I have been in little places in Canada, in the Northern States of America, and the first thing they ask you is: 'What is Shaw doing or saying?'" "He has never paid tribute to any despot of any party—no particular clique. He has always been above the battle—a free soul. He has been of great service to this nation and to humanity, ever on the side of the oppressed." "I think we should write to this man and ask him—in his saner moments—what about coming home and taking six feet or more of Irish soil? Why should England own all that is sacred to the Irish nation? He picked Dublin as his birthplace. That is a great thing on his side. It was the best day's work he ever did. No other man ever measured up to this man." "INFLUENCE ON THE WORLD" Mr. J. Breen, seconding, said that Shaw stood with Shakespeare as the two immortals in the world of drama. Shaw had accomplished more than Shakespeare; in his lifetime he had become immortal, and his writings had gone to every country in the world. He had always used his pen on the side of humanity, and against oppression, hypocrisy and cant. His influence on the world generally could not be calculated. Mr. Michael O'Higgins said that they should put a little more punch in the motion and "demand" that Shaw accept the honour. Mr. Larkin—He is against conscription, and he will immediately have an argument with you. Mr. O'Higgins—I suggest that in any argument the answer should be left to Mr. Larkin. If I were to give a vote as to who should win, I am willing to back Mr. Larkin. We should try to put more dynamite into the motion: that might shake him. Later Mr. O'Higgins said he would withdraw his suggestion to "demand" and that he would support the motion. Dr. Cormac Breathnach, T.D., supporting, said that Mr. Shaw was a distinguished Irishman and a brilliant dramatist, and had given pleasure to millions all over the world. Mr. J. J. O'Byrne opposed. "What has Shaw done for this country?" he asked. "An occasional long-distance wisecrack—that is all I can find. No Irishman or Dublin citizen can be in any way proud of one who shook the dust of the city he was born in off his feet, to sell to England the talents the Lord gave him." He sold his talents in England, and they (the members) should not be talked too easily into this admiration of the Anglo-Saxon. Ald. Butler said that tribute had been paid to the intellectualism of Shaw. That intellectualism had brought the world to the sad state it was in to-day. It was responsible for the brutality and the barbarism that had dominated the world in recent years. It was an intellectualism that scoffed at the existence of God; scoffed at revealed religion, and was in conflict with the intellectualism of Thomas Aquinas. He opposed the motion. "SUBVERSIVE" IDEALS. Mr. John J. Phelan, who also opposed, said that Shaw, in common with other people, was sponsoring ideals and theories which were averse to those of the Irish race. "I would not permit any book of Shaw's about my own house, so that my own children should have access to it," he said. "These ideals are subversive of what we hold dear. I am bound in conscience to oppose this. If I support it I am putting on a pedestal an individual whom I know is not a fit mentor for the youth or the adults of this country. I will not go into detail in regard to various passages from Mr. Shaw's books, from which I could quote ad lib. I will content myself with this: that in one particular book, which I am not going to name, lest I give scandal, there was written a thing which was so blasphemous that even now it makes me tremble to remember it." The Lord Mayor (Ald. P. S. Doyle, T.D.) supported the motion, saying he felt the citizens of Dublin would be honoured should Mr. Shaw—accept. --- Page 26 --- 2 THE WORKER—NOVEMBER 15, 1919 KARL MARX, Sinn Feiner. By EDEN and CEDAR PAUL. During the year 1902, the "Neue Zeit" republished certain letters from Karl Marx to L. Kugelmann. Dealing largely with private matters, with the writer's personal relationships to Engels and others, with work performed and schemes of work, and the like, these letters are full of human interest. One of them, for example, exhibits Marx at fifty years of age in the somewhat reluctant role of squire of dames. He was returning from a visit to Hamburg, and on the steamer "a tall, well set-up young woman whose somewhat martial aspect had fellow traveller. She was visiting England for the first time, and wanted to get through from London to Weston-super-Mare. The steamer was due at the port of London at 2 p.m., on a Sunday afternoon. 'You know what the British Sunday is,' wrote Marx. 'Her friends had to'd her to go from the L. & N.W.R. station, which I had to pass on my way home, and what could I do but offer to help the young lady across London? But after I had done so, and after my offer had been graciously accepted, it occurred to me that that there was a mistake about the terminus, that I had to go from Waterloo, quite out of my way, and not from Euston. This was confirmed by 'the sea-captain,' whom I consulted—but what could I do? I was 'in for it.'" Like all Marx's letters, this is full of English, French and Italian phrases. 'On arrival at Waterloo we found there was no train till 8 in the evening, so we had six hours to kill, and spent them in the parks, 'in ice-shops, martial aspect 'had the army list at her finger's ends,' and belonged to a distinguished military puttkammer. Bismarck's niece, Elizabeth von Puttkammer, Bismarck's to be a Red as myself. I assured her there need be no blood shed on either side. I duly saw her into the train for Weston, and we parted on excellent terms. But what a story for the 'vulgar democrats' if they could get hold of it; what yarns they would spin of my 'conspiracy with Bismarck'!" This incident is merely amusing, but of acute topeal interest are some references to Ireland in a letter from London on 2nd March, 1869. We translate these passages verbatim for they display the author of "Capital" as, by anticipation, a Sinn Feiner. Comrades north of the Tweed, will note that whilst Marx gives full recognition to the national susceptibilities of the Irish, he ignores the particularism of the Scots. Germans invariably lump together as "English" all inhabitants of these islands other than those of Irish stock, and we should have expunged some of the colour of the original had we, in our translation, written "Britain" and "British" where Marx had spoken of "England" and the "English." Had he been able to foresee that this letter to Kygelmann was to appear fifty years later in the Scottish "Worker," he might have been more think of his wrote about the Irish question: "The conviction grows on me—and the one thing needed is to drub this conviction into the minds of the English workers—that they will never achieve anything decisive upon their own behalf until they definitely break with the [Irish] policy of the ruling class. Not only must they make common cause with the Irish, but they must take the initiative in dissolving the union formed in 1801, and in replacing that union by a free federal relationship. This course is essential to the English workers, not from interest of the English proletariat. In direct of such a change of policy, the English people Every popular movement in England is paralysed by the quarrel with the Irish, who form even in England a notable constituent of the working class. The first essential to emancipation in England, the overthrow of the landed aristocracy, remains impossible because the citadel cannot be stormed so long as strongly entrenched outworks are still held in Ireland. But in Ireland, as soon as the Irish can take Irish can legislate for themselves and manage their own affairs, as soon as the country becomes an autonomous country because aristocracy (composed in Ireland to a considerable extent of the very persons who form the class of English landlords) will be enormously easier than in England. For in Ireland the land question is no mere economic question; it is at the same time a national question, seeing that in Ireland the landlords are not, as in England, time-honoured dignitaries, but the detested oppressors of nationality. Nor is it only the social development of England that is paralysed by the relationship between England and Ireland; English foreign policy is much hampered by the same circumstance, notably in America. "But since the English working class will certainly be the decisive factor in the movement for social emancipation, to this point we must apply the end of our lever. It is a historic fact that the English Republic under Cromwell was shipwrecked on the rocks of Ireland. A pity were history to repeat itself! The Irish have played the English Government a fine trick by electing the 'converted felon,' O'Donovan Rossa, to Parliament. The governmental press is already threatening a fresh suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act and a renewal of coercive measures. In truth, England has never ruled the existing relationship between the countries by maintained, except by a reign of terror aided by the most abominable system of corruption." Do not Marx's words read like a comment upon the concluding sentences of J. R. White's article in "The Worker" of 27th September? "What do I suggest?" wrote White. "What does Carson suggest to keep Ireland down? Well, I suggest the same to set her and yourselves free."

WHILE yet the soft green turf of the land he loved so passionately, and for which he so unselfishly laboured, was falling gently on all that was mortal of ALEXANDER M. SULLIVAN, a meeting of his countrymen, held under peculiarly solemn circumstances, gave practical expression to the design which we have been appointed to carry into effect. That meeting, though hurriedly convened, was attended by a large and representative body of Irishmen, and gave expression to a sentiment shared by the whole Irish race, when it formally declared by resolution that the widow and children of one whose life was devoted to his country should become the wards of the nation. We cannot permit ourselves to doubt that this resolution will be approved of by the Irish people at home and abroad. ALEXANDER M. SULLIVAN's public services appeal with irresistible force to all his countrymen without distinction. It is, perhaps true, the work he did for Irish nationality, the aid he gave to every movement designed for the moral and material advancement of his countrymen, and the good he did in public and in private for the suffering and the poor, except by those who knew him intimately, are as yet but imperfectly appreciated. But enough is known of the dead patriot to mark him out for recognition as one of the most pure-minded, gifted, and disinterested workers who ever devoted their energies to the national cause, and to the public good. Day by day, from his boyhood to his death, his magnificent talents were employed in efforts to raise his native land in the scale of nations, and to benefit its people, without distinction of class or creed. Whilst as an orator, an author, or a journalist, his advocacy and teachings were ever pregnant with beneficial influences that have left an ineffaceable mark upon the public mind, the many acts of kindness of his private life will never be known till the great accounting day, when the deeds of all men will be exposed to view. One special ground there is on which an appeal for a national tribute to the memory of A. M. SULLIVAN may safely be made to the Irish race. It is absolutely certain that, if he had thought more of himself and less of his country, he would have died rich in the honours and goods of the world. It is no secret that the Government of the day were at one time ready to offer him the means of enjoying a repose he sadly needed; yet after he had, owing to a shattered constitution, withdrawn from active public life, and although many well-meaning friends strongly urged on him the acceptance of a public office, he rejected all such overtures, determined to leave behind him a record of independence and disinterested devotion to the public interests. He died leaving to his children little more than the heritage of an unsullied name; but the claim which those children and their mother have for that very reason on the nation's gratitude is one that will not be disputed. Commissioned, as we have been, and remembering the remarkable manifestations of public feeling which the death of A. M. SULLIVAN has evoked within the past few days, we make this appeal, confident that the Irish race will prove by its fostering care of the dear ones he has left behind how mindful it is of his services and how proud of his fame.

Kerry, there are the remains of a fifth century monastery in a fairly good state of preservation. It consists of six "beehive" cells, each the residence of a monk. They have lost the apex. There is also the tiny chapel, with its altar, 3ft. cube, on which was offered the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass 1,400 years ago. The chapel has a square-headed east window over the altar. There are no windows in the cells, but, owing to the entire absence of mortar in the original construction the fresh sea air percolated through the interstices in the wall. One cell, the largest of the group, has an opening low down on the inside. This opening leads through a subterranean passage, to the site of the "store-room." There are several large sepulchral mounds, beside which stands a rude and time-worn cemetery cross. No inscription is visible. Nearby are some two dozen long-forgotten graves, with little uninscribed headstones. These are supposed to be graves of the officers and crew of one of the Spanish Armada ships wrecked on the treacherous coast. The whole is surrounded by an enclosure (Cloghane) of immense thickness, except on the north side, The Chapel in Ultanshanig, in which Mass was celebrated 1,400 years ago. where the hermitage is islanded by the ocean. The island is inhabited by two families. St. Senan of Scattery is the patron saint, to whom also is dedicated the little ruined church at Kilshanig on the mainland three miles from the island.

LUSITANIA TORPEDOED BY GERMAN SUBMARINE OFF OLD HEAD OF KINSALE, AND SINKS IN EIGHT MINUTES, RESCUE OF 800 PASSENGERS. FEARED LOSS OF HUNDREDS OF LIVES. The magnificent Cunard liner the Lusitania was torpedoed about 2.30 yesterday afternoon off the Old Head of Kinsale by a German submarine. She sank in eight minutes. The weather was fine, but she took a heavy list soon after being struck, and those who went to the port side were at a disadvantage. The saloon passengers were at lunch and lost more in proportion. They included Mr. Vanderbilt, the millionaire; Sir Hugh Lane, the famous Dublin art expert; Mr. Chas. Froham, the theatrical manager; and many other prominent people. There is no news from any of them up to the time of going to Press. As soon as the news came to Queenstown vessels set out for the scene of the disaster, and they landed survivors at that port last night. The total number of people on board was 1,987. It is understood that 500 have been saved. There are reports that several hundred were landed at Clonakilty. Whether these are included in the 500 or not cannot now be stated. News was only allowed to leak out very slowly last night. There was great excitement, especially in Dublin, Liverpool and London. The great Cunard liner the Lusitania, with nearly two thousand people on board, was sunk yesterday afternoon by a German submarine off Galley Head, which is opposite the Old Head of Kinsale and divides Rosscarbery Bay from Clonakilty Bay, Co. Cork, east of the Fastnet Light. NO WARNING. She left New York on May 1st, and all well until she was nearing the Irish coast. According to news received late last night in Liverpool the vessel was torpedoed without warning. SEEN FROM KINSALE. A Press Association telegram despatched from Queenstown (which is some 25 miles from the Old Head of Kinsale) last evening says:— The Lusitania was noticed to be in difficulties from the signal station at the Old Head of Kinsale at 2.12 p.m. By 2.35 she had completely disappeared. HELP FROM QUEENSTOWN. The Cunard Company have received a message from Queenstown to the effect that about twenty lifeboats of various classes belonging to the Lusitania are in the vicinity of the spot where she sank. The Cunard officials explained that each boat was capable of carrying between 50 and 60 passengers. About fifteen boats are making for the scene to render assistance. The weather is reported to be beautifully fine, with a light, south-east wind. The Lusitania had lifeboats to accommodate 2,600 persons. RESCUED PASSENGERS. A telegram from Liverpool at 7.30 p.m. said —The Cunard Company have definitely ascertained that the lives of some of the passengers have been saved. A boatload of survivors is being towed into Kinsale by a Greek steamer. A Central News telegram from Queenstown at 8 p.m. said:—Several rescuing steamers have been sighted laden with Lusitania passengers making towards Kinsale and Queenstown. WOMEN AND CHILDREN SAVED. A correspondent at Kinsale wired last night:—The Dublin motor boat Elizabeth arrived at Kinsale at 7 p.m. It is stated that about lady who had been eagerly scanning the bulletine gave way to hysterics, and was carried away uttering painful screams. PAINFUL SCENES IN LONDON. The loss of the liner was not known in London until about 5 o'clock, and up to a much later hour no news was to hand as to the fate of those on board. As soon as the news of the liner's fate circulated a large crowd composed of Americans assembled outside the Cunard Company's London offices, eagerly awaiting full information. The Central News, in a later telegram says:—The number of anxious inquirers at the Cunard's Company's London offices is increasing hourly. Americans predominate in the crowd, and they are freely expressing indignation at the attack upon the liner. Several khaki clad figures are also amongst the waiting hundreds. Many have settled themselves down to wait indefinitely, and the Company, who intend to keep the offices open, until midnight and possibly throughout the vestibule of the offices. The Press Association says:—The announcement of the disaster in the London evening journals caused some sensation. Within a short time relatives and friends of passengers began to invade the offices of the Cunard Company in the West-End, while a big crowd congregated outside. Among the callers were a number of Americans and quite a considerable proportion of ladies, and the staff were kept busily engaged throughout the evening answering the anxious inquiries. There were many affecting scenes. One lady rushed through the main entrance up to the counter in a hysterical condition, and made anxious inquiries as to the safety of a brother and sister who were on board. Friends who accompanied the lady endeavoured to comfort her, and the staff could only tell her that it was hoped all the passengers were safe. An elderly couple, a clergyman and his wife, sat quietly and conposedly in a corner of the office waiting for news of their son, who was returning on the Lusitania after a lecture tour in America. An American gentleman stated that he had asked to his wife to cross to the Lusitania as she was the only boat that could get away from the German submarines. The absence of intelligence of the passengers and crew for some hours caused the gravest OFFICIAL MESSAGE 500 TO 600 LANDED. The Admiralty early this (Saturday) morning issued the following message regarding the Lusitania:— "The Secretary of the Admiralty announces that the following message has been received from the Admiral at Queenstown:— "Survivors from Lusitania being landed. "Those wounded being sent to naval and military hospitals. "No names yet received. Later. The Admiralty announce between 500 and 600 passengers from Lusitania landed. Press Bureau, Saturday, 1.5 a.m. The Secretary of the Admiralty announces that the following telegram has been received from Admiral at Queenstown:— "Between 500 and 600 survivors from the Lusitania now landed. "Many hospital cases. "Several have died. "Also some have been landed at Kinsale. "Number not yet received." SURVIVORS ARRIVE AT QUEENSTOWN. PITIFUL SCENES & PAINFUL STORIES. Julian Ayala, Cuban Consul at Liverpool, his left leg bleeding hadly. Otherwise he was very cheerful. He was very bad at the time, and had no trousers onwhen he got ashore at Queenstown. He got into three boats before he reached the one that brought him to safety. He attributed his rescue to remaining cool and his trust in the Lord, and his great wish to see his children in a Liverpool Convent. Mr. Bertram Jenkins, New York, helped two ladies in a boat which overturned. One lady, Miss Bramwell, an operatic singer, he saw at Queenstown. The captain of the Lusitania is amongst the saved at Queenstown. The second steward is dead here. AN OCEAN PALACE. OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION The Lusitania was built by Messrs. John Brown and Co., Clydebank, and was launched in 1907. She was one of two vessels built for the Cunard Company under a special agreement and subsidy from the Government, the vessels being permitted to fly the blue enigm as Royal Naval Reserved merchant vessels.

I believe that, having represented the people of DUBLIN in public life for over twenty years, they will expect me to stand by them in THE HOUR OF DANGER. by calling wolves WOLVES and not calling them wolves in sheep's clothing. WE CANNOT WAIT WE MUST ACT. The lesson of other unfortunate countries is too dreadful. IS THERE DANGER ? ? ? 2. The people of DUBLIN have called, and I have answered that call because I believe there is DANGER in our midst—a dangerous movement on foot to turn our country into another RUSSIA or SPAIN—a movement that is all the more dangerous because its methods and its agencies are very sinister, and because it has chosen as its first prey the poorer classes of our people. Three Soviet candidates are contesting Dublin. Will you help them? 5. I believe that in the New Daily the Country wants men who will not take chances when the safety and the welfare of our people are at stake. It wants men who will face up to the dangers of the present situation and will safeguard the rights and freedom of our people. 6. I believe that President Cosgrave and his Government have shown courage and ability to deal with the menace which has threatened and is still threatening our Country. THE DANGER HAS NOT YET PASSED, AND WE CANNOT TAKE ANY RISK. THE TIME HAS COME TO DRAG THIS MOVE- MENT INTO THE OPEN 3. I believe the people of Ireland of all creeds and classes are jealous of their country's heritage—the Christianity for which our people have suffered and for which our Race is known throughout the Civilised World. THE PEOPLE OF DUBLIN HEARD THE COMMUNIST SPEAKERS ON SUNDAY. They are pleasing their RUSSIAN masters. Their aim is to overthrow President Cosgrave's Government. It is the only power they fear in this Country. ARE WE GOING TO SURRENDER NOW ? OUR ANSWER IS NO. WE WILL FIGHT THIS MENACE 4. I believe the time has arrived for plain, straight speaking. I can only speak straight to the people 7. I believe the future of this Country is only safe if the people return a strong Daily which will Elect a Strong Government. You have the material for that Government. I APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND TO RETURN PRESIDENT COSGRAVE WITH A STRONG WORKING MAJORITY.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE SOUTH CITY SPECIAL COAL FUND 1872-73- Committee: HON. JUDGE TOWNSEND, 30, Upper Fitzwilliam-street. R. W. BOYLE, Esq., 35, College Green. JOSEPH BOYCE, Esq., D.L., 52, Upper Mount-street. FRANCIS LOW, Esq., 35, College Green. EDW. H. KINAHAN, Esq., J.P., 11, Merrion-square, N. THOMAS FRY, Esq., J.P., 26, Westmoreland-street. JOHN ROBINSON, Esq., 3, Wilton-place. J. STEWART KINCAID, Esq., 6, Leinster-street. PHILIP C. SMYLY, Esq., M.D., 4, Merrion Square, N. JOSEPH KINCAID, Esq., Treasurer, 6, Leinster-street. THE Committee have to report that the extent of their operations during the past year considerably exceeded that of any former year, owing to the unusually high price of coal and the increased destitution amongst the poor, specially in the matter of fuel. The district within which the operations of your committee are limited is, as is well known, confined to what may be called the South City Electoral Division; and within that district almost every means available for the gratuitous distribution of coal among the poor, without religious distinction, was taken advantage of by your committee, in addition to their ordinary parochial distribution. In every case the coal was delivered gratuitously at the dwellings of the poor, and the utmost care taken to prevent imposition or abuse. It will be seen from the statement of the Treasurer's account that about 178 tons of coals were delivered during the winter, making nearly 3,000 bags or portions distributed among the poor in the manner stated, at a cost, including the expense of delivery, of £338 78. 1cd. The amount of subscriptions received from the public is £370 48. 2d., in addition to which a liberal grant of ten tons of coal was received from the Lough Allen Iron and Coal Company, which, through the kindness of the Midland Railway Company, was delivered free in Dublin. Adding to this the balance from the previous year of £13 19s. 9d., there remains now in the hands of the committee a balance of £45 16s. 1d. with which to commence their operations for the present season. A schedule annexed gives the particulars of the distribution and the subscriptions received. The committee are now prepared to receive contributions; and as the price of coal is still very high, and the distress amongst the poor in some parts of the city very great, they trust they may be favoured with subscriptions on a scale as large and liberal as last year.
