A Conservative M.P., who wrote to a distinguished general congratulating him on his services during the war, and saying that Ireland is proud of him, has received the following characteristically modest reply:—November i3th, 191S, —There is some "disorder" abroad, because I am getting credit for helping to win this war, and in all truth I have done next to nothing; yet, and all the time, I am an Irishman, half rebel, half loyal, half merry, half-and-half a;i angel, half-all human. As I was walking in the crowds yesterday I overtook a woman who was crying. I askdd if I could help her in her distress. She answered, "I am not m distress; I am very happy; I have lost my four sons in this war, and now I kno'.r it ha 3 not been in vain." What is my quota compared with that? Motor Cyclists! Bad roads mean Imt little discomfort if you use CLNOHEH "DREADNOUGHT" TYRES—made by the North British Rubber Co. All dealers supply them.
