IRISH WARNED AGAINST
JOINING ENGLISH ARMY

DUBLIN, Aug. 6.-The police au-
thorities today admitted that they
have been unable to find the slightest
clue to the authors of the leaflet warn
ing young lrishmen against joining
the English army or navy, with copies
of which Dublin has been flooded in
the past few days. A copy has been
found in the private letter box of
nearly every residence in town.
After declaring war between Eng
land and Germany is inevitable and
that "England's cowardly and degen-
crate population will not fight" and
that "she depends on the services of
fools in Ireland" the leaflet, which
is signed Vigilance Committee" says
Stand aside and have your re-
venge. Without Ireland's help Eng
land will go down before Germany
as she would have gone down before
the brave Beers had the Irish not
fought England's battles in South
Africa. The English know this and
they have offered us a bribe which is
called home rule. 1t is not yet
law, but, believing us to be nation
of fools, she wants payment in ad-
vance and has sent her warships to
our coasts to entrap young Irishmen.
Generations unborn will curse you who
now ioin Enpland's army or navy
and not alone the dupes who join, but
also those who neglect to aid in the
crusade against the most immoral
army and navy in the world"

PITY THE POOR STATESMEN.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. g.
The tempest of criticism which arose
when Secretary Of State Bryan de-
clared that he couldn't live N the $12-.
900 yearly salary he receives rs head
member Of the presidents cabinet and
that he was compelled to augment his
salary with receipts from his chautau-
cua talks calls 70 mind the fact that
there are quite number Of "chau-
tauquatesrs" held involuntarily in the
capital this summer. And worse still
for these erstwhile platform charm
ers, it is generally conceded here now
that the extra session Of congress
will continue right on through the
chautauqua season until the latter part
Of September-if not latsr-thereby
putting disconcerting and jagged
dent into the planned incomes Of q
good many pubic men.
While all Of the men Of official life
in Washington who every summer add
considerably to their incomes via the
chautauqua route, do not command
the big prices Secretary Bryan does,
they manage To make enough by their
lectures to pay a lot Of bills and still
have quite nest egg left over. Sec
retary Bryan is said to be the high
est priced lecturer on the circuit. Hs
is rep rted to get between 5000 ant
5000 every time he raises his voice
in silverv toned orstory before . chau-
tauqna audience. Other chatauqua'
teers of the congressional and states
man set. il IA declared command or
the average Of from 500 to $500 pei
lecture.
Senator Bob la Toilette and Speak
er Champ Clark are close on .Secre
tary Bryan's heels in the matter o.
popular esteem as lecturers. Boil
these gentlemen are among the ma
rooned in Washington. Both, whei
it WAT seen that congress would drsl
along, cancelled their dates and stop
ped thinking what they would do will
the money. Senator La Toilette ha
found time to keep . few Of his lee
turc dates, but they were mighty few
Representative Victor Murdock, tn
fiery haired Progressive house lsade
from Kansas, Is also . great draw
ing card on the platform and he sal
today that he hates to think abou
the money he isn't making ION tn

James used TO do quite . bit Of lee
turing during the summer months bu

it, and he is another one whose "side
money" has been sadly dented.
Vice President Marshall hoped
when 6,291,776 citizens voted him into
the vice presidency, that he would be
able to add to rather thin purse by
raking in few shekels which some
of those citizens might pay to hear
him lecture. He has made several
brief excursions into the chautauqua
circuit but he doesn't dare leave for
any extended period while congress
is in session. Marshall has to sit
tight on the job because at any mo-
ment that scant Democratic majority
in the senate might get to running
wild and make it tie vote on some
administration measure.
Not only does this summer legisiat-
ing hit the legislators hard in the re-
gion Of the pocketbook, but it has
also played havoc with innumerable
vacation plans. Mighty few Demo-
cra-s will be permitted to leave Wash
ington from now on. and some of them
are acting just like the office boy
does when the boss tells him he can't
go off on that cruise or camping trip
he had looked forward to with such
plcasurable anticipation.
Whip ]. Ham Lewis and Majority
Leader Mann are the Simon Legrees
of this summer session of the national
Legislature. Hardly day passes that
some Democratic senator doesn't go
to one Of them with long tale Of
woe about breaking down and needing
just a week or just few days Of
rest and relaxation. But Senators Kern
and Lewis were well chosen for their
task. They can rip into an excuse or
a plea, tear it to pieces and cast it
smashed and mutilated to the floor
without the flicker of an eyelash while
some beseeching fellow member stands
pleading for slight recess almost
with tears in his eyes. Not u sena-
tor in Washington today who has sug
gested brief vacation only to be
sternly rebuked but believes that
somewhere back in the past, Kern and
Lewis could find an ancestor apiece
who was either slave driver or COM
msnder of one of the ancient slave
gallsys.
| Nearly score of senator's, cling
ing to the hope that congress would
get through in time, made bookings
