Same day Dublin's Dail took pity upon Housepainter Peadar Cearnaigh (Peter Kearney). Inflamed by the Easter Rebellion of 1916, Peadar Cearnaigh sat down and wrote the words of "The Soldier's Song."

Royalties he did not receive, but last week the Dail voted him a grant...

She writes cryptic notes with invisible ink; she is always just about to cross the border; she sees the dirty fingernails of a Russian soldier with black circles on them and immediately recognizes the significance of the circles.

Order No. 173 is specific. It instructs every Red Army commander "to train each Red Soldier to be devoted in heart and in soul to the World Revolution of the Proletariat." The issuing of such an order at such a time...
