Concluding his article, Colonel Hart writes: "To what extent wo could count on the Free' Stato' Army joining us in another Great

speculation. It would probably depend to a large extent on how far Irish interests were involved, at any rate at first. · Later on it is quite probable that the long as sociation between the two coun- tries', would take effect, but this is not a matter which' сап be counted on.

"In any case I think one may count with the utmost,, certainty that we should never have the slightest fear of them joining our enemies, a prediction which sometimes heara from pessimistic quarters, and as years go on, it is more than probable we shall find the Irlah Free State Army CO- operating as cordially with us as do

now those of the Great Dominions."
