Threaten to Join Germany

"Once upon a time" when the Shan
Van Vocht was to the fore, the cry
"the French are in the bay" gave joy
to the heart of the nationalist rapparees
and terror in the souls of the pro- Brit
ish "loyalists." That was one hundred
years ago. Hoche and Wolfe Tone, as
sisted by John Paul Jones. gave the
English a time when George the Third
was king Now when George the Fifth
theoretically wears the emerald gem
of the western world" in his imperial
diadem, the rebel song has to be re-
written and the cry has become Hark +!
the Germans are on the way 1t Is
true, deadly true. Sir Edyard Carson
and Lord Baltimore, with other Ulster
"loyalists," have announced boldly that
the day England and Germany lock
horns in war, Ulster will join in one
grand reverberating shout "Hoch the
Kaiser, elect William Stakeholder of
Belfast and the Boyne on the spiked
helmets of Uhlands, and declare Ulster
one of the confederated states of the
father1and' All this is to happen IL
King George the Fifth signs the home
rule bill, which is slowly but surely
approaching inevitable enactment. so
much in earnest are the orangemen of
Ulster that they have actually begun
the teaching of German in the Ulster
school and delicatessens are being
opened in every Ulster village. Now
Munster is a sure enough German name,
and it would answer fine as the name
of a German state, but Munster happens
to be hotbed of Irish nationalism
and loyalty to the English king, George
the Fifth Consequently Ulster Is look
ing around for new name. When
Conn of the Hundred Battles gave that
title to his dominions extending from
Dalriada to "Ould Donegal he little
thought that the time would come when
the name would not be good enough
for the schpalpeens now to the fore on
the northeast corner (Wrrasthru.) But
these be the strange days in Ireland.

Cook Cause of Epidemic

.Germanys Typhoid Mary" a cook in
the regimental kitchen of the Railroad
regiment No. 3, In Hanau, can score up
% deaths to her account from the typhoid
epidemic which broke out In the first
battalion of the regiment last December.
and which has only now ended
According TO an official statement made
before the rechstag the epidemic, which
involved several hundred active soldiers
and reservists called to the colors for
training, has been traced to a potato salad
prepared by this woman. who evidently
had carried the bacilli of typhoid in her
body for years. She is now. of course,
permanently barred from employment as
a cook.
This case has brought out an interest
ing discussion as to the right of such
.bacilli carriers" to demand from the
state pension to compensate them for
their permanent disability to practice
their trade. A workman who loses his
arm; stenographer whose writing hand
is crippled, or an engraver whose sight
Is permanently affected are entitled to
compensation from the insurance fund.-
Why not then a cook who through no
fault of her own, becomes a permanent
menace in the Kitchen and Is thereby
thrown out of employment.

promotion of orange growing in Ice
land must be regarded as somewhat
out of place.
The reason why icebergs are num-
erous and fogs frequent for about 200
miles to the eastward of Cape Race
is that there the warm current of the
Gulf stream collides with the cold
current coming down from the Arctic
in the shallow waters known as the
Grand Banks of Newfoundland. In
fact that 200 mile shoal was probably
produced by the collision Of these
warm and cold rivers OF the ocean. :
Mr.. Riker proposes to hasten the
building of this shoal into dam or
jetty, by laying steel cables along It.
The anticipated final result would be
to defect the Labrador current to
the eastward into deep water where
it could dive under the Gulf stream
without the present conflict and the
formation of eddies in which icebergs
drift about. The idea is that instead
of launching" as they do now. the
1cebergs would pass rapidly south
ward and sooner melt.
Mr. Riker's purpose is not wholly
new. Others have called attention to
the fact that the Grand Banks are a
half-made island, which might be
built up into solid land by the usual
process OF dumping in stone to hold
the sands And when we remember
how James p. Eads confuted the skep-
tics and with bundles of brush com
PEELED the Mississippi river to build
for itself solid banks and to deepen
its own channel il viii not do, to
laugh at Mr.. Riker's proposal to har-
ness ocean currents with steel cables.
II is just possible that the thing
might be done.
When we consider the achievement
of Eads a. the mouth Of the Mississ-
ippi. and how the Panama engineers
have hung new lake in the hills
nearly a hundred feet above the sea
behind dams and lock gates, even
guch remodelingg OF the face OF the
globe az 300 mile dam IN the Allan
liz ocean cease 10 be in the category
OF deeds impossible or incredible.
