THE RUIN OF IRELAND.
» ONE MAN'S VANITY." SACRIFICE OF YOUTH. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed 7.20 in.) DUBLIN, Feb. 26. Writing to Pierce, the rebel leader who surrendered in Kerry, Mr. W. T. Cosgrave, President of the Free State Ex. cutive, states that he is confident that by a manly facing of the situation most of the happenings of the last few months can be forgotten. This is regarded as a fresh appeal to the irregulars. The Free State Home Secretary; , Mr. Kevin O'Higgins, states that for the first time the irregulars have surrendered on a challenge from Free State troops. Nevertheless', every day sees cowardly assaults upon defenceless civilians. Eight thousand young fools, male and female, have been rushed into criminal outrage. Boys and girls in their teens, who are utterly incapable of forming an opinion on the conflicting issues, have been rushed into this holocaust to gratify one man's vanity and. one woman's hysterical egotism.
