HOW CHILDERS. DIED.

"I AM SERENT"

HIS OWN STORY OF HIS LIFE.

It has been defnitely nepertained that Childers was shot in Beggars Bush Bar racks. Before being shot he shook hands with the firing squad and bade them good-bye. Before being taken out he said to the Dean of Kildare: "I am at I bear no peace with all the world. grudge against anyone, and. I trust no one bears any against me."

On the day of his trial Childers said: Whether I am to die or to live, it must help Ireland. The way is clear before me, I am serene." In a statement which he made to the military court which teisd him, Childers told his life story. On returning to his cell after the trial he wrote down from memory the state- ment he had made. It l'as follows: "

"I wish to make this statement in view of the mass of prejudice which has gathered about me owing to false state ments and calumnies and innuendoes which have been made in the Press and. elsewhere for a year past, and to most of which I have been unable to reply. I am making no appeal. Let that be clear. Whatever befalls me I shall suffer gladly and happily. But I think it due to me and above all to the cause I represent, to make some refutation of these attacks. I have been constantly called and Eng- lishman who, having betrayed his own country came to Ireland to betray and destroy Ireland-a double traitor. the afternative, I have suffered the vila charge that instead of betraying England I have been dating as a spy or agent pro vocateur of Englishmen trying to destroy: Ireland in England's interest. Not a single particle of proof bas ever been brought forward for thous charges. They depend solely on prejudice fastered by a pitilessly bitter propaganda, and intend- ed more, think, to damage the Repub- lican party through me than me myself. "These are the facta of my life very briefly. I am by birth, domicile, and deliberata choice of citizenship an Irish- man My Lather was English born in England. My mother was Irish born in Ireland. From the age of 13" 1" was brought up at Glendalough House, in co. Wicklow, by my uncle and aunt, Charles and Agnes Barton, along with their own children. I was educated in England, and in 1895 entered the British Orvil Service. In 1910 I throw up my profes sion in order to be free for political work and writing aa & Liberal, and especially in the cause of Irish freedom. As a young man I had been a Unionst, but the experience of the South African War, in which I served for ten months as a volun- ter, made me Liberal and a Nation- alist, I wrote and spoke much for Irish Home Hale in the year 1010-1914, and in 1912 published The Framework of Home Bale, advocating a dominion settlement. But I get no limit to the national march. The keynote of the book was that Ireland should have what the Irish people want ed The book of course, was of no avail at the time. Even the Petty Liberal Thi of 1919 was shipwrecked owing, to the surrender of Asquith to Carson In warm sympathy with the Irish Valun teers 1 joined the small committed form ed in May, 1914, to supply them with arms, and myself with my wife and on or two friends ran a cargo of guns into Howth in July.

Then came the European War. Like thousands of Irish Nationalists I was misled by the idea of a war for small cation, and joined the British Naval Air Service, leaving at the end of the war with the rank of major. The bulk of my work consisted of active service, flying in Bobplanes as an observer, and an in telligence officer in the North Sea, Dardanelles, and Egypt, and on the Belgian coast. On this substratum of fact has been built the abominable legend that I was a secret service spy, and that it was in some such capacity as that I have done my political work in Ireland.

CONVERSION TO REPUBLICANISM. DA The collapse of the Irish Convention, on the secretariat of which I was employ ed, and the attempt to enforce conscrip tion, convinced me that Home Rule was dead,, and that a revolution founded on the rising of 1916 was inevitable and With the formal establish- necessary. ment of the Republic in 1910, it became necessary for people like myself of mixed birth to choose our citizenship once and for all. I chose that of the Irish Republic. I threw myself into the work of the Re- publican movement, and after a year took up my permanent residence, with my wife and family, in Dublin. My frst mission was to visit the Paris envoys and help them with Press work, bearing with me the written authorisation of Arthur Griffith, then acting PresidentMy next
