ADDRESS IN ABSENCE
• DE VALERA TO REPUBLICAN ' ARMY. (ABBMIALIAH - NIW ZEALAND CABLE AIStCIATION.) LONDON, 13th April. A Dublin telegram states, that de Valera 'has issued a statement in connection with the death of Liam Lynch in the form of an oration to the Republican army.' "Faced' in arms by former comrades who deserted your side, your task is a, hard one. It is a task only heroes would venture to undertake. You have to fling yourself across to stop the stamped^ of the nation, but it is better to dio nobly, as your chief died, than live as slaves. Your cause is immortal. Weariness from an exacting struggle against false teachers, temporary losses, and defeats may defer , but cannot prevail againat ultimate triumph. The sacrifices you are making to-day will insure it. They who to-day in ignorance calumniate, you will to-morrow honour you."
