THE BRITISH. EMPIRE

One. of the most ‘pleasing: features
-of the present crisis is the perfect
unanimity...of .- feeling . and... action |

“among British statesmen“all over. the
‘Empire. In Britain where last. week
the political leaders were almost at
loggerheads.. over. the Irish “Home|.
‘Rule question, \the outbreak of civil
war. was... momentarily © expected,
-.. where the Nationalist: supporters and
. the military came together and the
fecling ran high and very bitter. All
this seems for the present, ‘at least,

_ forgotten, and we see the very happy

‘speech ‘in ‘the British House of :Com-
mons of the Irish leader, . Mr. Red-
mond telling the. world that Britain

: “can safely remove all her troops from
a . Ireland ‘to the danger zone on the.
“continent. and. leave the defence. of.
