By the way, we would suggest an emendation in the

maxims printed upon one of the propagandist circulars which accompany the appeal. In one and the same circular it is announced that bonds can be had at £1, £5, £10, £20, £50, and £100, and near by it is pointed out that Irishmen should subscribe " because Ireland realizes that the weapon forged by Sinn Fein will break Ireland's bonds." This is surely maladroit, and the editing should be attended to at once. Another maxim says : " Think of the amount you were going to subscribe and double it." We can only add, in the words of the old mathematical puzzle, which scan to have been running in the head of the Sinn Fein author : " Take away the number you first thought of."
