CELEBRATION.

Cliff Haven, Sept. 11.-During the
past week the Catholic Summer
School of America at Cliff Haven
took a prominent part in the great
national celebration of the centenary
Of the Battle of Plattsburg. Re-
ligious services. special lectures, pa

formances of the historical pageant
Of the Champlain Valley which were
presented on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday evenings on Pageant
Field. Plattsburg barracks. The full
dress parades ia brigade of 5000
soldiers of the regular army also at
tracted the attention of the guests.
The days of Centennial Week in &C.
cordance with the arrangements
made by the New York State Com
mission on the Plattsburg Centenary
were designated by the titles: Peace
Day. Labor Day. vergennes Day. Ma
comb Day, Macdonough Day and
Centennial Day. On each of these
days special and appropriate exer-
cises were held both at Cliff Ha-
ven and at Plattsburg. impress

exercises marked the Summer
Schools celebration of Peace Day.
Religious services proper to the day
were begun at 1850 o'clock in the
morning in the chapel of Our Lady
of the Lake. A Missa Cantata, the
celebrant of which was the Rev. F..

Macdonough in the September num-
Der of the Catholic World, written by
DR.. Charles H. Mccarthy, Professor
Of American History in the Catholic
University. After general view of
the events which eliminated in the
Battle of Plattsburg. Sept. II, 1914.
DR.. Mccarthy showed that during two
years there had been on the Ameri-
can side much inefficiency and mis-
applied energy. The English be-
came more aggressive when relieved
Of the fear of Napoleon. This was
shown by their sending to America
four brigades from Wellington's
army. It seems now conclusively es-
tablished that the British would have
been in occupation Of much American
territory were it not for their defeat
at Plattsburg. The most disgrace
full event Of the war, from an Ameri-
can standpoint. was the capture Of
Washington which followed the Bat
tie of Bladensburgh in August, 1914.
The destruction in the Connecticut
River of score Of sea-going vessels
and the loss of nearly as many more
at Wareham, Mass, showed the SUI
premacy Of the British in American
waters. Under these disheartening
conditions Macdonough planned to
meet the enemy on Lake Champlain.
where he won the greatest naval vic
tory in the war of 1912. The quar-
ter deck Of the Saratoga was conse-
Grated when Macdonough and his Of
flcers knelt in prayer before the fir
ing Of the first gun. This opening
prayer on Sunday morning, the time
chosen by the British for the attack,
was rewarded by the greatest victory
of the war. Father Mcmillan in his
speech struck the keynote of the
evenings exercises, note of patriot
ism, warm, generauos and enthusiast
tic. The theme was followed out
along different lines by such promi-
nent speakers as Hon. Thos. w.
Churchill, DIR. James ]. Walsh, Phi.
D. Solos were rendered by Robert
Woods and Michael Lucey, and the
entire audience sang the Star Span
gled Banner and the TIE Deum. Spe-

which met Balfour in the house of
commons last Monday sufficiently in
dictated the determination that Ire
lands right to liberty will not be al
lowed to be destroyed, and that the
rancous voice of faction will not be
tolerated any longer in the house of
mons. There was never the least
reason for Fearing that the home rule
would not be put this year on the
statute book, but the delay created
by these threats induced renewal
Of the attempts to close up the ranks
of northern and southern Irishmen
by Asquith, which, though natural,
did excite the atmosphere of suspi-
cious and painful expectance in Ire
land. But Asquith's emphatic re-
iterance Of his pledge that the bill
will be put on the statute books and
his acceptance of Redmond's inter-
probation of his speech in that sense.
and above all, the announcement by
Lord Crewe in the house of lords
that the home rule bill would be Of
fered for second reading there next
week, have now changed the situa-
ton and Ireland breathes more easily.
Its support of the war is stimulated
by the horror at Louvain. the favor
tie college for centuries of the Irish
priesthood. and by other German
atrocities.
The presentation of home rule bill
to the house of lords may seem futile
as their action is pretty certain and
the bill will 60 through now. what
ever they do; but this step was made
necessary by certain scruples in the
mind of the speaker of the house Of
commons whether the steps required
by the act would be complied with
IL the house of lords did not get the
opportunity for discussing the meas
ure on second reading. This step of
the ministry in the house of lords
puts the climax on the certainty that
they mean to pass the bill once.
Minute description of the present
state Of mind in England will explain
her apparently strange attitude
toward the present condition. Of
things on the battlefields. 1t is quite
realized that the German advance
has not hitherto been arrested; that
it has proceeded with greater rapid
iy than was hoped and that the siege
Of Paris may now come in few days.
But this does not seem even to dis
turb English opinion. 1t is accepted
that the Germans will win the first
rounds in the fight, but not one
,Briton believes that this can mean
anything but the final triumph of the
allies. ~,
Like France, England is just sit
ting tight. Both keep their army
in full being, both are resolved to
play the game Of time and exhaustion
on Germany until Russia and the still
strong armies Of England and France
crush her in their iron embrace.

ing the past year, was organist. Rose
wigs Mass in G was sung. AS an Of
fertory solo Miss Angela Harker sang
Rheinberger's Ave Maria. At the
Mass powerful and beautiful SER
mon on Peace was preached by the
Rev. Thomas F. Campbell, S. j.,
Montreal. the distinguished Jesuit
author and historian. In his sermon,
after alluding briefly to the horrible
state Of Europe at the present time
the preacher spoke of the happy COM
bination of circumstances which led
the New York State Commission on
the Plattsburg Centenary to place the
idea of peace so prominently in the
foregroun din arranging the details
of the great national celebration. He
said that this fact was strikingly
illustrated not only by their allot-
ment Of the first day of the Centen-
airy exercises to a Peace celebration,
but also by their choice Of the mar
tyr Jogues as one of the foremost
figures in it. He showed that Father
Jogues' aim in life was to establish
peace, the peace Of God, in the hearts
Of the savage redmen who dwelt in
the American wilderness. He died
a martyr for peace peace which
the nations of the world are now de-
termtned to destroy. In conclusion
Father Campbell exhorted his con-
gregation to pray = earnestly that
peace may soon be restored.
The patriotic celebration Of Peace
Day took place at the Auditorium on
Sunday evening, and was attended
by a large delegation of the Knights
of Columbus Of Plattsburg. The
Auditorium was fttingly decorated
with American and Irish flags. a

immediate action to see that their
movement should be utterly futile, be-
cause without arms no body of men,
however determined and courageous,
can stand up against men with arms.
That policy of prohibiting arms from
reaching the Irish Nationalist Volun-
teers was consistently maintained. by
the British government until after the
outbreak of the present European
war. The Irish Volunteers have
therefore been able, only with ex-
IRENE difficulty and with loss of life
TO obtain quite a small consignment
Of arms. On a recent occasion when
they openly imported arms near Dub
lin, the authorities called out the
troops who attacked the Volunteers,
demanding the surrender of their
arms, bayonetted several of them and
finally fired upon the crowd killing
three persons and wounding several
women and children.
Arms From the U. S.
Now when Europe is involved in
war the British government with
draws the proclamation prohibiting
the importation of arms into Ireland,
but it does so only when there is no
market open in Europe in which the
Irish Volunteers can purchase arms.
We are now, therefore, face to face
with situation where the great ma
jority of Irishmen organized purely
for purposes OF defense find every
means of purchasing arms-the only
way of rendering their action effec-
tiye-closed to them, unless it be pos
sible for arms to be procured in the
United States. This, take it, is the
only country from which arms could
now lawfully be exported to Ireland
as articles of commerce. Such arms
could not be used and would not be
used in the present European war.
They would be solely for domestic
use in Ireland by body of men
whose avowed object is not agrees
sive but solely defensive."
The American Committee.
Sir Roger Easement said that there
is now a body OF men in Ireland en-
gagged in that work, under the direc-
ton of committee voluntarily or
ganized there in the United States un-
der the direction of The American
Provisional Committee of the Irish
National Volunteers. This body, he
said has already been instrumental in
sending money for this purpose to
Ireland.
Sir Roger said that the Irish Parlia-
mertary is in full accord with the vol
unteer movement, having twenty-five
representatives on the governing
body in Dublin, placed there at the
request of john 3. Redmond, chair
man of the party.
The distinguished Irishman had let
tors of credentials from the central
body of National Volunteers in Dub
lin, and has laid them before the
members of that organization.
Conditions are SO at present that
he does not know when he will be
able to return. He believes Ireland
will get Home Rule, but justi6es the
arn1ing of the Volunteers on the
ground, as he says himself, that "the
men of no nation ever obtained free
dom or any measure of liberty unless
they were men enough to show they
were able and willing to fight for it
and defend their liberties"

Purpose of the Irish Volunteers
By Sir Roger Easement

(The following authorized inter-
view on the situation in Ireland was
given out by Sir Roger Easement of
Ireland, vice-chairman of the Irish
Volunteers Committee of Dublin.)
"A member of the Irish Parliamen-
tary party whose name l need not
mention, wrote to me some time ago
and said that he had lost considerable
interest in the Irish Home Rule Bill,
it had been so mutilated, and his let
ter concluded with these words:
"Only one thing l am sure Of and
that is that Ireland will get the meas
ure of Home Rule she deserves and
To more"
Il entirely concur with that opin-
ion."
Baneful English Influence.
IF we only could get rid of English
parties and their policies and of Eng
lish newspaper influences in Ireland,
I believe there would be a better I'M
Outstanding between the so-called
Obstetrics and the Nationalist, who
are, of course, the great majority OF
the peope of Ireland. The Tory aris-
tocracy of England and Ireland have
exploited this Ulster question, merely
tor their Own party purposes and sole
ly with view to defeating Home
Rule, turning out the Liberal minis
try, and getting into power them
selves. In this regard I may say that
the war in Europe, while it is a ter
rible affliction to humanity may be
productive of good in Ireland in that
it may result in English parties leav-
ing the Irish people alone, and giving
them chance to understand each
other better.
A Protestant Nationalist.
II have Always been an Irish Ma
tionalist, although am a County An
trim man and Protestant, but l have
not been really active in politics until
recently. | am, of course, greatly in
tercsted in the Nationalist Volunteer
movement being member of the
governing or executive body whose
headquarters are in Dublin. When I
left Ireland six weeks ago it was in a
tlourishing condition, and there were
then enrolled in it between 100000
and 100000 men. Some of the corps
and regiments are we'll trained, but
very few are armed. The reason for
this has been that we have had no OPP
portunity to get arms. The Irish Vol
lnteers were started OH November
18th last, and its program or consti-
tuition was then placed before the
Irish people. Some time afterward
the British government proclaimed
Ireland as country into which no
arms could be imported. The gov
eminent had previously allowed, for
some years, the Ulster (Orange) Vol
unteers to get arms and recruit men,
and, for all intents and purposes to
establish an army in Ulster whose
avowed intention was to oppose, by
force, the law of the land. The gov
ernment, whose policy was to set up
a native parliament in Ireland, per-
mitted this minority of 1rishmen to
take up arms for the express purpose
OF resisting by force the establish
nlent of such parliament. No him
drance was placed in their way.
When the majority of the Irish peo-
pic applied the same argument to a
different purpose, namely to maintain
the law, the British government took
