IRISH POETS


The works of the Irish poets we're
entertainingly discussed Monday
night by Judge Matt ODoherty and
others at the regular meeting OF the
Louisville Literary Club in the as
sembly room OF the Louisville Free
Public Library. Judge ODoherty
quoted from number of these
Celtic bards, and gave interesting
bits Of history and anecdotes bearing
on their lives. He referred to James
Clarence Mangan as the Edgar
Allan Poe of Ireland" and recited
poems from Thomas Osborne Davis,
Miles O'Reilly, Dennis Florence Nc
earthly, and concluded with a tribute
to Moore's "Lalla Rookh." He was
followed by Madison Cawein, the
Louisville poet, who gave an appre-
citation of w. u. Yeats, Francis
Thompson, Shane Leslie and james
stephens. Judge Charles B. Sey-
mour also made brief talk on Irish
poetry, referring particularly to the
of the trisyllabic foot and
rhyme in Irish verse.

FATHER VAUGHAN BETTER.

Mrs. Bellamy Storer, of Cincin-
natl, received a telegram Saturday
from Rev. Bernard Vaughan, S. j.,
announcing his sudden illness in
Detroit, where he was delivering an
address. Father Vaughan was to
have given a lecture Sunday night at
Emery Auditorium at Cincinnati for
the benefit of the new Good
Samaritan Hospital, and on Tuesday
and Wednesday Mrs. Storer had ar
ranged two lectures by the. dis
tinguished prelate at the Orpheum
Theater, one on "Our Whence and
whittier" and the other on Faith
and Reason" Father Vaughan has
since been reported as recovering,
and II is expected he will be able
to fill his Cincinnati engagements,
which were postponed to next week.

IRISH EMIGRATION FALLS.

The emigration statistics of Ire
land just published show that the
total number of emigrants during
the last year were 1858, of whom
1885 were males and 1923
females, showing a decrease Of 1884
as compared with 1910. A table,
giving the number of emigrants for
the last sixty years, shows that the
largest number in any one year
during the period was 190,322 in
1852, and the smallest was in 1908,
1926. The aggregate for the
period was 4,267,423, total which
almost equals the present popula-
ton of ireland. OF last years en-
igrants 2,015 went to Great Britain,
22,O1O to the United States, 5,478
to Canada. 113 to South Africa, 765
to Australia and Ice to New zea-
land

IRISH VOTES
Indicate How Heavy Would
Be the Home Rule
Majority.

The Irishmen eligible for Parlia-
mentary voting If home rule comes
in this year number 696.405. The
official lists are just published, and
as the British registration is done
in very cumbersome way, these
lists will do duty till the end of
1918. How little ireland is in
creasing in population may be
judged from the fact that the regis
ter is just thirty names higher than
last year. The best that can be said
of 1t is that 1t shows the tide of
emigration to have been stemmed to
a great extent. Anyway II is the
first year any increase has been
shown at all. Once more It is Bel
fast that leads the way in the in
crease, for the shipbuilding center
has added 1888 to the list, while
Dublin has dropped by nearly as
many and Cork by 1000. On the
other hand, there is a decided back
to the land movement, for whereas
the boroughs show a substantial fall,
the rural county electors have cor
respondingly increased since tenants
have been able to buy their holdings
from the landlords.
Recent demonstrations in Dublin
and Belfast indicate how heavy
would be the majority for home rule
II the entire national vote were chal-
lenged on the question. Sir Edward
Carson and Bonar Law had an i'm
posing muster at Belfast, but they
we're all Orange Ulstermen, whereas
the huge gathering addressed by
John Redmond in Dublin drew con-
tingents from all parts of the coun-
try-the largest of all coming from
Cork and Belfast.

DEEPLY GRIEvED.

The impression made in Rome by
the Titanic disaster was most pro-
found. One of the victims most re-
GREETED is Major Butt, whose jovial,
bright character made him many
friends there. Besides the auto
graph letters from the Pope and
Cardinal Merry del Val to President
Taft, Major Butt had with him a
signed photograph which the Pontiff
had given him personally. Major
Butt and Cardinal Merry del Val had
several conversations, liking each
other immensely.

Atlantic, pick out one of the slower ships.
It will take day or two longer to GO
across, but the passage will be cheaper
and safer. The fast ships charge the
higher prices and get the custom, which
shows that it is the public that dem ands
that the captain take chances. The
captain of the slow ship isunder less
pressure tO make time.
Women first and men last. That is
the law Of the sea and should be the law
everywhere. Whyf Because when it
comes: to the last supreme struggle for
life. the stronger sex has q chance that
would not be possible for the weaker
sex. Several men were saved who were
on the ship when she took her last
pluge, where women would have doubt
less perished.
Personally we doubt that the boilers
exploded. Itis possible but not probable
But there are two other forms of explo-
sion common to such accidents. One is
caused by the sea water running into
the fire room where perhaps in the
| 'Titanic" hundred furnaces were filled
with blazing tons of coal. Throw hall
pint Of water on your coal fire in your
stove and you will realize the result.
Then when all but few Of the compart.
ments are filled with waterthe remaining
compartments are supporting the whole
weight of the ship Some of these are
leaking and water is being forced in by
the weight of the ship. The air being
confined soon attains an enormous pres.
sure. It is like filling an automobile tire
only much more powerful. After 4 time
the decks which are holding back this
pressure, burst outward with something
very similar in its effects to a boiler ex-
plosion. The testimony of one survivor
was that he twas blown off the vessel. -
If he had been blown by steam he would
probably have been scalded as we'll.
His statement ls probably literally true.
The steamer lacking the support Of the
bursted compartments sunk Immediate

It is apparent that the "Titanic" must
have ripped out plates great part of
her whole length and thus opened most
of her watertight compartments or she
would not have sunk SO quickly. 1t

build a ship for seagoing purposes with
a bottom strong enough to withstand

iceberg or rock.

have sunk. Her bow would have been
crumpled up but the other compart-
ments would not have. been harmed.
The glancing blow cut an open streak all
along her bilge.
The fact that the ''Titanic'' had boats
sufficient to accommodate less than one.
third Of her cargo Of lives is appalling in
itself. Time was when every ship had
to have boats sufficient to float all pass
engers and crews. Why life RATS have
been abandoned as lifepreservers is also
a mystery. to the old sailor. Rats take
