The I inanifesto reads: ‘‘Fellow citizens, dur- ing the period of the truce each indivi- dual soldier and ecitizen must regard himself as the custodian of the nation’s honour. Your discreiion must prove 1n the most convincing manner that this is the struevle of un organized nation. In the negodiations now intimated your leaders wiil do their utm. -™0 securea just termianation of this struggle, but history and gariicularly our own history and the character of the issue to be de- cided are a warning against undue confi- | deace. Uuanbenulng ydetermination to en- dure all tnal may be necessary and forti- tude such as you have shown in all vour rocent sufferings, these alone will lead ¢ to the peace you desire. Should force be resumed against our nation, you must be ready and do your part once more to resist. Thnus alone will you secure the dinal abandonment of force and the ac- ceptance of justice and reason as the ar ' bpiter.”’ (signed De Valara.)
