Mr.. PARNEIL ADVISES the Irish
people to treat the wishes of the Vat
lean with respect in all that pertains
TO faith and morals, but politically to
exercise their own supreme and indie

vice, and the proper course TO pursue.
Then comes the question; How long

DEFINITE ASSURANCES" have at

will accept if nominated. The news
comes from New York via Pbiladel-

other, however, whether such assur-
ances have been given. Opinions as

The mere statement is concerned. 1t

THERE WAS \ BIG MEETING at Cooper
Union, New York last evening, which
Endorsed with great enthusiasm and
nnanimity the American flag policy
Of Mayor Hewitt. Whether any
political significance attaches to the
demonstration remains to be seen.
Bnt the WorM says with u sly twinkle
in its eye: "The American flag has
not received such an ovation since
the close of our civil war. The inn
preston Of the meeting seemed to be
that it was worse than treason to dis
play foreign flag on a public build
ing and that Abram 5. Hewitt ought
to be elected to the Presidency Of the
United Statps.n

THE SECOND PART OF "An English
mans Pocket Note Book in 1928, and
What he Saw in America" appears
in the May number of the Magazine
OF American History" The follow
ing is an extract from an entry made
in the "Note Book" at New Orleans,
under date of December 3, 1928:
observe that all the ships here engaged IN
the cotton trade to Liverpool are American;
not more than two or three English vessels in
port. | am afraid the Americans are fast
suporseding ms as ship owners, although we
have been told that England can compete
with all nations as carriers. In travelling
through this country l observed that the
whole commerce with England, which must
be enormous, is carried by their own ship
ping alone. So much for the visionary idea
that English capital and industry would
enable her 10 start a contest with this coun-
try as carrying nation.
Looking ut the condition of the
American merchant marine to-day, it
is hard to realize that such different
state of things existed sixty years
ago. The contrast Is startling and
suggestive.

into Colonel Simmons apartment and
grabbed up the Colonols shotgun, which
was loaded heavily with buckshot. He
then ran out into the yard followed by
Colonel Simmons, who was calling to
him to bring his gun back. As lie neared
the gate he fired one barrel at the Colonel,
but 1t missed HIM; the next barrel entered
