BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, May 15. — There Ik a town
at the British front which is the cen
ter of an Irish world. It is the head
quarters town of the 16th, or Irish
division. Irish voices are heard front
the doorwnys of the houses. Flower
pots of shamrock are on the mess
tables of officers, who gathqF^for
their meals in the modest sitting room
of the local grocer or butcher, where
they are "billeted.'’
In his office a general, who is Irish
to the finger tips, talks about his
troops, who were fighting hard against
the Germans during the Dublin riots.
If he is nsked if there are any Sinn
Feiners among them he will refer the
inquirer to the men themselves. They
enlisted in the Irish new army bat
talions in face of the influence which
produces Sinn Felnism. This gave,
them a distinction of character to
start with, their officers say.
Sturdy middle aged men with j
I strips of color won in campaigns in i
India and South Africa while serving1
with regular Irish regiments, some
still sergeants, some promoted to
commissions, have been the drill mas
ters of vigorous youth from Mayo and
Kilkenny or Clare or Cork. But most
of the officers in common with most
of the men had never been in uniform
when the war began.
A major, who is over six feet and
broad in proportion, standing still as
a ramrod in salute, who looks as if lie
had been soldiering all his life, w'as
a farmer in Waterford. He fecruited
a company from the surrounding
countryside and was given command.
Promotion followed, as it has for
other beginners. Those captains who
are members of parliament will get
theirs now unless they are among the
casualties which make room for others
to rise. They say that they thought
they could do better work for Home
Rule at Hie front than in the commons.
"We wanted to draft the Irishmen
who were in English and Scotch bat
talions into ours so we should have
all the Irish at the front under one
command,” said the general, "but we
ould not make the arrangement. The
ither commanders would not part with
heir Irishmen. British battalions Ilk,
o have a sprinkling of Irish among
heir numbers. My men have had
(very test of trench fighting, gas
ind shells and sniping-^- and they've
Improved any idea that the Irish were
lot as good at sticking as in a charge,
rhey’ve stuck like veterans. Native
Irish good humor relieves the grim
nonotony of the trenches.
"As for discipline—there's the re
mrd of courtmartiat'' — the general
nd lea ted some blank spaces opposite
he names of battalions on the wall
'everybody prophesied that we would
have heavy drinking on St. Patricks
lay, because a lot of people have the
Idea that the Irish have a weakness
for drink. I appealed to the men to
be on their good behavior, with the
result that we did not have a single
rase of intoxication."
ITp in the trenches held by the Irish
stories abound. When a big high ex
plosive Herman shell tore a hole in
the parapet a soldier who was set to
shoveling away the earth that had
filled the trench had only fairly got
started when another shell struck just
behind him, tearing another section of
trench and half burying him. Having
crawled out and looked around, he
saluted his captftin and said:
"Sir, I have to report that at the
present rate 1 can't finish this job
without help. They're gaining on me."
