Stack, evidently realising the futility' of prolonging the conflict, may have been responsible for a clear move having a semblance of surrender without the ignominy of giving himself up to the Free Staters. Stack's capture removes the prop supporting the irregular movement, and it may well be that the end of the struggle has arrived. De Valera's flamboyant manifesto seemß to be an attempt to rally the courage of despair. 1
