A Boston preacher named Minot ].
Savage, says: II have enough English
blood in my veins to want to see an
understanding between the English
speaking countries of the world. We
together, putting aside petty jealousies
and wrangles, can control the des-
TIMES of the planet. Let us, then, have
such an understanding. England,
criticize her as you will, has never
taken a step where she has not left a
higher state of civilization behind
her." American citizens, with Irish,
German, Dutch, Scandinavian and
French blood in their VEINS will see to
it that Uncle Sam will not become a
partner Of John Bull in piratical op-
erations. English "civilization" has
been a curse to every subjugated coun-
try where it has been introduced. The
Boston parson should know that Sam
Adams and James Otis did not want
English civilization" at the Hub and
that they ordered the English troops
to leave the city.

A correspondent in South Africa de-
scribes the murder of Commandant
Scheepers Here is what he says:
''They brought him from town in an
ambulance van, with band playing
and the firing party following behind.
When they got him to his grave he
begged to be allowed to stand up and
face death, but they tied him down in
a chair and blind folded him, and if
teen Of the Coldstream Guards stood
ten PAGES from him and fired. 1t al
most blew one side Of him away, and
it was a sickening sight. He must
have been a brave man. He did not
finch nor turn pale. They buried him
as he was, and broke the chair up,
throwing the pieces on top Of him."
Such is the cruel treatment Of Kitch-
ener to the brave foe who was cap
tured when wounded. If Delarey ex-
ecuted Methuen in the same way, how
the British would howl!

Irish yielded up the faith as others did
at the bidding of royal tyrants, the
Catholic Church would have suffered
an irretrievable loss. Among the
brightest ornaments of the Church to-
day In English-speaking countries are
men Of the faith of st. Patrick. Many
or the prelates of the Catholic church
in America are of Irish birth or de-
scent. The first bishop in America
was the son of an Irish father. That
was Bishop Carroll, who subsequently
became the first archbishop of Balti-
more. Bishop England, of Charles
ton, who was consecrated in 1920, was
native of Ireland. The present occu-
pant Of the See Of Baltimore, Cardinal
Gibbons, is the son of an exile of Erin.

very different thing from suggesting
that Queen Victoria's crown should be
similarly treated" Then he says that
King James crown was only "meta-
