Dear Uncle Bertie,
Progress!
 
As discussed no northern fleets for me.
Would be pleased to hold onto/recover BEL while my armies assist you into BRE.
 
After that, awaiting strategic directions,
Your loyal nephew,
Willie.




IRISH INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT CLOUDS VIEW OF CONTINENT
By Gregory Mankins


LONDON – LOYALISTS claims to the contrary aside, Ireland is closer than ever to secession from the United Kingdom.  Conscriptions for the Scandinavian campaign have emptied the fields.  
From the public houses to the football pitches, “Irish Republicâ€Â� propaganda and Rebel songs are everywhere.  
Though the northern counties of Ulster have a softer stance on the issue of Ireland’s continued union with Great Britain, Belfast was awash with potentially violent gangs of hooligans for days in preparation for the match.  England’s convincing 3 to 1 victory this Saturday has done little to ameliorate the angst felt by the Irish across the island.  Much has been made of the fact that though the officials were Welsh, they were Protestant.
Thursday’s St. Patrick’s day masses promise to provide at least a brief respite from angry mobs assembling outside Dublin Castle.  However, these same masses are feared to also provide informal recruiting grounds to the rebel cause.  
Will troubles in Ireland prove to distract His Majesty from Continental influence?  Some experts believe they already have.
