Without this expenditure Of millions and con-

Since the time Of O'ConneII, Ireland
has been convulsed to a greater or less
degree, most of the time over ques-
tions of home rule, but the organized
Ulster opposition was first recognized
as of serious import in 1892. The
present agitation, however. dates from
1911.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1914-03-23
Prepare to FIGHT.

While progress was being made
with the measure in parliament the
people of Ulster were busy training
military force. By the end Of July a
volunteer army of more than $4,000
had been recruited from union clubs
and Orange lodges, and 100000 more
we're submitting themselves to semi
military drill and discipline. Arms
were being imported into Ulster in
large quantities and the organization
Of corps and general staff was in
progress.
September "a the Ulster unionist
council completed the organization OF
provisional government to be set up
in Ulster in the event of the passage
of the home rule bill.
The council, which was attended by
500 delegates, also appointed a mill
tary council and six committees on
Ulster volunteers-law, finance, publ.
cation, education and customs excise
and postoffce. 1t also created an in
demnity guarantee fund Of >o.O00,00O
to indemnify members of the Ulster
volunteer force against personal injury
or loss Of life in the execution of or
ders of the provisional government.
Difference Between People.
There is cons :derable difference be-
tween the people of the eastern part OF
Ulster and those of the rest of Ireland.
Many of the Obstetrics are descend
ants of English settlers sent there by
Cromwell to foster the agriculture and
industries Of Ireland after he had
subdued the country.
Others are descendants of Scottish
coyenanters Not all the protestants
Of ireland are against home rule. Par
nell himself was protestant.
ireland has striven for home rule
without a moments cessation ever
since the Irish parliament was abolish
ed and the legislative union of Great
Britain and Ireland was proclaimed
January /, 1901. The agitation went
on under various forms, pacific and
violent, led by such patriots as Daniel
O,Connell. William Smith O'Brien,
Charles Stewart Parneh, O'Donovan
Rosa and Michael Davitt.
The patriotic movement was sup
pressed time after time by coercion
acts passed by the British parliament,
only to take another form. The Molly
Maguires, the Young Ireland party,
the Land League and the National
League were all Irish political So
cieties that had their day.

The question Of sectarianism Is usu-
ally presumed to figure in deciding
the attitude Of each individual. but in
several OF the nine counties Of Ulster
the Catholics have a majority. SO that
rule could not be relied on. The coun-

taurant before which she is picketing,
so she closes her lips and carries an
other card bearing this information.
An amusing incident occurred in a
Knab restaurant yesterday morning.
A man, huge-framed and with a very
pleasant face, entered the restaurant,
took a seat and ordered his break
fast. Outside the pickets watched
him rebelliously, but, absorbed in his
paper, the man did not heed.
The breakfast was served and he
began to eat, then suddenly he lifted
his eyes to the window and just at
that moment one of the pickets
thrust forward, so thatlh might see
it, the cards telling of the strike.
Through the window the man read,
then he smiled like the sun coming
out of the clouds after a storm. He
laid down his napkin, pushed his
chair away, left his unfinished break
fast and walked out of the restaurant
without paying for the food served
him, and, though the entire working
force of the restaurant rushed to the
street after him, he sauntered indif-
feTently away and was not arrested

countrymen in record making in the

were made in German aeroplanes

duration record has been bettered
four times this year by Germans. The
hrst was Bruno LANCER, who set the
mark at IA hours and Z minutes on
Feb. 3. This mark was raised to is

The No:ddeutsche Allgemeine lei
tung prints long recital of the i'll
treatment of Germans living in Paris.
Since the end of July, says the paper
they have been insulted in the streets
and have been obliged to ask for po.
lice protection, which has been af:
forded only reluctantly. Even the
railways refuse to accept their lug.
gage. AS result hundreds of Ger
mans sought asylum in the embassy
and consulate. After mobilization, the
paper charges, German hotels, res
taurants, shows and residences were
pfllaged and wrecked while the police
stood idly by. Many Germans were
dismissed from their employment
without their wages being paid and
prosecutions of every kind were in.
dulged in. Germans living in the sub.
urbs were subjected to the same kind
of treatment. As a result of the en-
ergetic Intervention of their ambas-
sador 5000 Germans were assisted to
leave France, while others without
homes were accommodated in the
schools. The ambassador himself
was present when the rupture Of the
relations between the two govern
ments was announced and was
obliged to ask for police prote "tion
until he left Paris, according to the
report.

LONDON is ANTI-GERMAN.

The state of Germans in London at
the present time is long way from
being enviable. They live In dread
of the possibility of mob violence, at
though thus far Londoners have
shown no disposition to maltreat any
foreigner. THAT American rel1e1

Grand hotel to a guest, "is there any
hope that it might carry q German
family to the United States?" Are
you German?" the guest asked the
waiter, who certainly did not look it.
'Yes," he replied, "but have been IN
England twenty years and have lost
my German citizenship. My wife Is
English and no once could tell that
my children had any German blood IN
them. Yet we are all miserable, Tor
every one sneers at US. My English
fellow walters spit in my face. The
longer a German has been here the.
worse the grievance, for all foreign
ers are regarded as taking bread out
of English mouths" The guest sug-
gested to the waiter that he present
his problem to the American relief

6EHMANY'S POSITION UPHELD.
A message of thanks for President
Wilson's offer of mediation to the
powers at war in Europe was sent to
him by the German-American Peace
society from its general headquarters
in New York. With the outbreak OF
war in mind, the society in a state
ment reaff1rmed its adherence to the
peace principles laid down in it's plat
form. AT the present time, how
ever" it adds, that point of it's pro-
gram seems the most important
which provides for the furtherance of
friendly relations between the old and
new fatherland, and, it most en-
phaticslly protests against the atti-
tude of a part of the American press
that seems to try its best to bring
about a disturbance of these relations.
We regret and condemn this war, but,
faced by an unalterable fact, we hope
for the victory of the right and we
firmly believe in the mission of the
German nation"
