der Of bequest made many years ago
in England for a dole of a bottle of
port wine and a leg Of veal to be
given to every convalescent dis
charged from the hospital in a GER
tain parish. When that dole was
made port wine and veal were looked
upon as luxuries, and the donor of
the cole never considered what eff
feet such heady meat and drink
would have on the poor recipient. He
had n warm heart, as Henry M.
Gescheidt had; but neither of these
charitably minded men viewed his
gift in its future economic aspect.

here done in the course of 1I6 verses.
II was long ago pointed out that
there is only one verse the one
hundred and twenty-second. which
does not contain some reference to.
or description Of the law of God.
These references are made under
some one of ten names, correspond

words or commands which make
UP the decalogue. Verse los. Thy
word is a lamp unto my feet and

that what a torch Is to a man in
a dark night. the word of God is in
life's night and on life's journey.

he might fall to certain destruc-

full rhetorically as it Is instructive

DUBLIN. April n.-Day after day
I have listened to the story. that
never dies out Of the Irish mind, OF
how the Catholics were abused and
plundered after the Reformation.
Under Queen Elizabeth the Cath
olics rose IN rebellion, and her SOL
diers reduced much of tho country
TO a wilderness, 30 that the trenches
and bitches were full Of the corpses
Of the people
Ellzabeth's successor, James I.
son Of Mary Queen Of Scots. con-
fiscated the whole province OF Ul-
ster. cleaned the Irish out Of 1t. and
gave 1t to Scotch and English plant
ers on condition that they would not
employ or tolerate Catholics
The Kings agent in this extraor-
binary scheme was Sir Arthur Chi
chester. a collateral ancestor Of the
Colonel Chichester who Is today pre-
pairing the armed Professionals Of
Ulster for civil war in order to pre-
vent the government of Ireland by
her own people.
The total effective confiscations Of
land from the Irish Catholics under
Henry VIII, Elizabeth. Mary.
Charles. Cromwell. James I. and
William III, are estimated at be-
tween 100000 and 5000 200 acres.
Deprived of Civil Rights
Not only were the Catholics driven
from their ancient possessions, but
they and their priests were deprived
of ordinary civil rights and were
hunted like beasts.
No Catholic could buy or lease
land, and the Protestant son of a
Catholic who owned an estate could
dispoEsess his father and make him
his tenant. A Catholic could not own
a horse worth more than SIS. He
could not have a teacher of his own
faith for his children. He might not
have a light in his house after 8
o'clock at night. He could not vote
or hold office.
Plundered, beaten. imprisoned, re-
Niled. driven out OF every profitable
employment and impr: sone1 or put
to death as traitors because of their
religion, Is II any wonder that In the
horror of darkness the relationship
between the Irish Catholic and their
priests should have become SO strong
and intimate that there Is nothing
now in the world like il?
The armed Professionals Of Ulster
today forget all this.
When the Irish In the Catholic
south raised wool, the finest in Eu-
rope, and sold II in Europe. the
English parliament, to protect the
English wool growers, forbade the
expectation Of wool to England.
AS the Irish were not allowed to
trade with any other country, they
manufactured wooden cloth and sold
1t in England. This trade. too. was
stopped by the English parliament
in the interest of the English wool
len manufacturers
Then the Irish gave Up wool grow
ing and raised cattle, which they
shipped to England. The English
cattle raisers secured a statute max
ing this trade unlawful The Irish
killed their cattle. sailed the flesh
and sold it in the English market.
Thereupon the English parliament
put a prohibitive duty on sailed

Favors to Ulster.
But while Catholic Ireland was

masses of the people relapsed sui

THE BEGINNING OF WAR.

A report from Vera Cruz that the
custom house has been seized by
American naval forces, if it is cor
rect, marks the beginning of war.
There is no possible chance to
avoid the conclusion. Seizure of a
custom house and blockade of a port
does not necessarily mean the inaug-
uration of formal war. But in pres
emf conditions war is the unacceptable
consequence of this move.
1t is useless to presume that
Huerta will attempt to grant salts
faction of our demands while our
marines hold and our battleships
command the most important GUS
tom house in Mexico. What has hap
pened thus far, as reported, is not
the overt act of war; but it comes so
near to war that distinctions will be
overlooked in this time of stress.
Huerta will regard it as war, public
opinion of both countries will take
the same view.
The sudden development shows
how useless it has been, at any time,
to hope for peaceful issue after
taking the determined steps on
which this Government has entered,
backed by the whole nation.
A German vessel loaded with mu-
nitions of war which Huerta greatly
needs, including some hundreds of ma
chine guns. is about due at Vera Cruz.
1t is imperative that Huerta shall
not be allowed to get those munitions
into his possession. To stop them
now likely means prevention of their
use against men inouruniform. Estab-
iishmcnt of a blockade before their
arrival was necessary. That accom-
plished, the German ship would be
warned off" by the American naval
commander; that is, notified of the
blockade, and informed that he could
not be permitted to enter.
Whether Vera Cruz is seized today
or not, the substance of this incident
will almost inevitably take place,
sooner or later: probably within a
period to be mea sured by hours rath-
er than days. With our vessels scat
tereu up and Town the coasts of
Mexico, there viii be no difficulty for
the IIuertistas TO invent insults and
impose indignitjcs. On our side, we
will be under the necessity of max
ing the blockade effective. The time
will come when a shot will have TO
be fired; and one shot will set the
finder box affre if Huerta's malev-
olent purposes can fan the flame
sufficiently. Without much doubt he
will succeed.
Doubtless the censored press in
Mexico City and elsewhere will pub
lish distorted accounts of the delay
in Congress about indorsing the pol
lev of President Wilson. and will
make it appear that there is weak
ness and irresolution at Washington.
That sort of misrepresentation is
easy, and in the circumstances is
natural enough. The long maintained
policy of patience and waiting has
been beyond the understanding of
the mass of the hot-blooded Mexican
people, and likewise quite beyond
their appreciation. In his ignorance
and stubbornness, Huerta perhaps
yet entertains the lingering hope of
forcing European Intervention. He
may succeed in making some of his
people believe there is yet such a
chance. But it will prove a vain
hope.
There is almost the certainty that
we will be at war within a very few
