WHY IS IRELAND AT WAR? 



By HUGH LAW, M.P. Wrapper, 6d. net. 



FROM THE PREFACE. 



" If I venture to add yet one more to the many books 

 and pamphlets which the war has evoked, it is not because 

 I can offer either new facts or new theories. I do not 

 write even as having a singular point of view. My know- 

 ledge is that of every one ; my point of view that of the 

 common or Nationalist Irishman. Yet, since nearly all 

 the books which have so far appeared have been written 

 by Englishmen for English readers, it may not be wholly 

 useless to review the causes and issues of the war as they 

 present themselves to one of the Irish People. ... I 

 want to suggest that this is indeed Ireland's war quite as 

 much as England's. It is hers by every consideration of 

 honour and policy. On the material side, indeed, Ireland 

 may not stand to gain much ; but the cause for which the 

 Allies are fighting is that of which Ireland has long 

 been, in Western Europe, the protagonist, the cause of 

 Nationalism, the right, that is, of each nation, big or 

 email, to live its own life."

" An interesting memorial of Ireland's part in the world- 

 wide war. . . . Mr. Gwynn has himself made some con- 

 tributions, full of genuine emotion and vigour. He is a 

 writer with a true sense of poetry, and even in the battle 

 song he can find the craft and leisure to be delicate." 

 Saturday Review.

 times and should thrill the pulse of patriotic readers." 

 Glasgow News. 



" This stirring little batch of poems." Times Literary 

 Supplement. 



" Mr. Stephen Gwynn and Professor Kettle are both 

 poets, soldiers, and Irish politicians, and their song book 

 is splendid, full of fire and courage and colour. . . - This 

 little book it costs only sixpence should be sent to 

 every one of our men at the front to the English, the 

 Scotch, and the Welsh, as well as to the Irish, and to the 

 men from overseas." Daily Express (London).
