French soldiers, who proved their
ability in such conspicuous manner
by driving the priests from their
churches and the defenceless nuns
from their converts at the point of
the bayonet, are not the sort OF In
dividuals capable of withstanding the
attacks of soldiers such as those COM
posing the German army. In case
of real fight the soldiers of the anti
Catholic republic have thus far been
conspicuous for their inability to
maintain the glory of France upon
the field of battle. nor are the SOL

THE CONFLICT IN EUROPE.

In the weeks that have elapsed
since war was declared between Ger
many and France, involving the
British and Russian allies, more lives
have been sacrificed than in any 9TH
er war that has ever taken place in
history. extending over a like period
of time. History does not record
that, for a given space of time. have
the lives of so many soldiers been
wiped out as suddenly as has been
done in some of the present battles.
From the boundaries of Belgium al
most to the very gates Of Paris the
fields are strewn with human sacri-
fees, while thousands are crowded
into every building available for car
ing for the wounded. In the five
weeks since England took part in the
war down to the present time the
German army has swept the English
and French. before them until, at the

Peace enthusiasts, up to very
short time ago, after having followed
the career Of Kaiser Wilhelm, were
practically unanimous in their desire
to award the Nobel Peace Prize to

Europe is engaged in war, the peace

towards President Wilson and very

the purpose of fostering closer bond
of union between the Irish and the
Germans in America. The Irish
American sympathy for Germany in
the present European war strongly
manifests itself and in return the
Germans were emphatic in their
declaration to assist in every manner
possible in the Home Rule movement
and congratulated the Irish upon
their fight for liberty in ireland. The
poisonous dispatches received in this
country for the purpose Of discredit-
ing Germany were the subject of
severe condemnation. The effect of
the meeting went greatly to show
that there is close sympathy and
bond Of union between the Irish and
German-Americans and that there is
on foot a general ratification Of two
of the most important elements Of
the population of the United States.
The Irish and the German elements
of the American population are such
powerful factors in American civili-
zation that we can hope for much
security from British intrigues in
this country.

OUR FOREIGN COMMERCE.

France and England have been
very strenuous in their stand taken
against a merchant marine owned
and controlled by the United States.
Both France and England have read
into such proposal a breach of neu-
trality. They declare that any pur-
chase money paid to the German gov
eminent would be of great financial
aid to Germany in the present crisis.
Then came a counter proposal to
take ships by purchase from different
nations upon proportionate basis.
But again comes the protest from
France and England. 1t is given in
the name of France, but the wish
being the father of the thought. 1t
had its origin in England. The
source of the trouble is easily detect
ed and explained. Neither at this
time or any other time does Eng
land wish us to carry on our COM
merce in other than England's ships.
and now that England is involved in
war we are without means to carry
on our commerce, even with neutral
nations. We never had such glori-
Gus opportunity to build up Ameri-
can commerce, to cultivate CONNER
cial relations with our South Ameri-
can neighbors and to place ourselves
upon a proper basis among the ship
ping nations of the world. To
neglect our present opportunity or
to listen to the cry of despair from
England because of the fear Great
Britain entertains in view of being
supplanted by America in ocean ship
ping will be nothing short of GRIM
inal.

CONDITIONAL PATRIOTISM.
Carson's conditional patriots are al

odds with the government. The
leader of the Ulster opposition de-
clares that unless the government
gives him reason to be satisfied with
its attitude on the home rule ques-
ton that the Ulster volunteers will
not be asked to serve outside of Ul-
ster. Such is Orange patriotism.
Such is the patriotism of Ulster. It
cares not for the crisis existing in
England at the present time. Not
even the war in Europe, with thou
sands of British soldiers on the field
of battle and the probability that
thousands more will be needed, not
even this will bring the Carsonites to
their senses. 1t is ample illustration
of how deep and bitter is their oppo-
sition to home rule in Ireland and
how selfish and unpatriotic the posi-
ton of Ulster. The general feeling
exists against sending the Irish vol
unteers and National volunteers to
the front instead of protecting the
interest of Ireland in their fight for
home rule. 1t is clear that their
willingness to fight is unconditional,
that the national volunteers have
not prated about their patriotism and
then declined to be of service ex-
cepting upon conditions. Indeed,
with some show of grace and a proper
demand for justice the Irish volun-
teers should decline to serve against
the Germans but there is no excuse
for the Carsonites, who want to pre-
serve the integrity of the empire by
letting Ulster run it.

the 28th, defeated the British troops
in st. Quentin and put TONY At
kins" to fight. In thirty days of
battle the German army has crossed
Belgium and France. as far as the
capital city. and compelled the gov
eminent Of France, as a matter Of
safety, to move to Bordeaux and the
allied armies of France and England
are hoping and praying that Russia
will hasten to their assistance soon
enough to check the onward march
of the Germans and, by threatening
Berlin. force the German army to
losen its grip upon Paris and French
territory. England is alarmed. The
English are beginning to realize the
power Of the German invaders
and the strength behind the German
empire. They realize that England's
position is not safe one. Time and
time again the English armies have
been driven back upon the line Of
defence, until even the London pa
pers have been forced to admit the
inferiority Of the English attack and
the inability of the English army to
Withstand the Germans. During the
past two weeks the allied armies Of
England and France have been max
ing a continuous retreat and France
is now witnessing the spectacle Of
seeing an invading army besiege her
gates, and, with her capital removed
to Bordeaux, realizes that this army
represents the same country that in
1870 demanded billion dollars, the
country of Alsace and Lorraine. and
that, as a result Of the seige and de-
feat Of the French in 1870 the re-
public came into existence. Judging
by these comparisons, what can the
present mean? The situation has
grown steadily worse and by nothing
but superhuman effort can the march
of the invader be halted, while, at
the same time, the slow progress of
the Russian army in its march
towards Berlin affords little hope for
the allies.

When it is noted that thirty eight
individuals refused to assume the
duties of office when elected to the
papacy, there is little question that,
in the recent conclave that elected
Pope Benedict, it was the earnest
prayer of many charged with the
duties of the election that the honor
would not come to them. The indi-
yiduality of the person is lost in the
Popacy. It's burdens, its cares, in
terest in the faithful. has added the
effect of producing such a crushing
humility upon the individual that
few there are who care to undertake
the responsibilities.

It was reported by the public press
that there was a division in the col
Iege of Cardinals regarding the ques-
ton of Modernism, and the public
press credits the statement that
there would be split in the conclave
on the question of Modernism.
Modernism was declared by Pope
Plus the Tenth to be the sum total
of all heresies that have ever at
flicted religion and on the question
of Modernism the Church has taken
a decided stand and is making an I'M

American life is so rich and tense
that it takes pretty big event across
the water to get newspaper headlines
here. The death of even a famous
European may get brief paragraph
In our newspapers. The front page
position and big captions given to
the passing away of Pope Plus X,
head of the great Roman Catholic
church. demonstrates beyond the
shadow of doubt, the powerful in
fluence he welded over American
life, yes, over all the civilized ma
lions Of the globe. Plus x was not
regarded as an intellectual giant, as
was his predecessor, Pope Leo XIII,
but his notable career as one of the
worlds great prelates and head of
the Catholic church has convinced the.
world at large that he was a won
derful man in many respects. Born
in lowly circumstances, he rose by
sheer worth and force of character
to occupy the chair of st. Peter as the
guiding head of the most powerful
church on earth. He was born poor
and died poor, a wish he had often
expressed, and his untiring efforts
for the worlds morals was lesson
in kindly perseverance and the world
recognized at its true worth and the
works he left will perpetuate his
memory as a true disciple of Christ.

On November 10, 1898, there died
in Dublin, at the age of thirty-four
years, man, the memory of whom
sends thrill of grief to the breasts
of all true Irishmen-a man who
dedicated his short life to the cause
of fatherland-thism man was none
other than the immortal Wolfe Tone.
Seven years before this memorable
day he, together with a few chosen
companions. formed lodge Of
United Irishmen at Belfast, its object
being the freedom of Ireland from
English rule; the Reform of Parlia-
ment, the union of Irishmen of every
creed. The movement soon spread
over the North and East, and a
branch was quickly formed in Dub
lin under the guidance Of Simon
Butler and that true patriot. Napier
Tandy. All religious animosities
sank under the spirit of conciliation.
which this society extended to the
Catholics. Hamilton Rowan and
Tandy raised few regiments of Ma
tional Guards with the intention Of
supporting the Catholic claims. This
meeting was proclaimed, none VEN
tured to appear on parade but Tandy
and a few others. When the Govern
ment saw that both creeds were
about to unite for the common good.
they. accordingly. passed a Bill for
the relief of Catholics, giving them
power to vote for members of Par
lament; but this bill did not pro-
duce the effect which the Government
desired, namely, to separate the
Catholics from the protestants. Some
time before this movement had
sprung up in Ulster, with the avowed
intention of prosecuting the Catho-
lies of the North, and got the name
of peep O. Day Boys" The Catho-
lies formed rival body which came
to be known as the defenders. Lord
Westmoreland was recalled in 1894.
and Lord Fitzwilliam was installed
Viceroy in his place. He was kindly
disposed towards the Catholic popu-
lation. Arrived in Dublin on the 4th
of January, 1875, he set about right
ing some injustices inflicted by his
predecessor, and dismissed some Of
ficials who were disliked by the peo-
pie. For this act he was in turn
quickly recalled, having incurred the
displeasure Of the government. and
Lord Comden, a mean man, at most
weak-willed man. took his place.
Things now fell back to their former
place. The recall Of Fitzwilliam
completely exasperated the peasantry
who had trusted in the promises
made. The United Irishmen being
suppressed, it was reorganized as q
secret society by it's most jealous
members. The prospects Of the
unity of creeds. which Tone had
longed for grew dim. as the Defend

CLEVELAND SCOUTS
PLAY 4 PRACTICE
GAME ON THURSDAY

Americas fans are going to have
chance to see the Cleveland Scouts n
a game on Thursday next. Manager
Sheckard has passed the word down
the line that he will divide the squad
into two teams on Thursday afternoon
and give them the once over while
they are under fire in real game.
The game will be between the regu-
lars led by Manager Sheckard himself
and Jim Baskets Bear Cats.
Sheckard has divided his squad in
such a way that the teams will be ev-
emily matched. The Regulars will use
recruit catchers and pitchers, and the
Bear Cats will have the old standby
Rex DeVorgt behind the plate.
Jim Basket has notified the hefty
manager of the Scouts that he has
best put in long distance call for
Athens and ask Joe Birmingham to
send Joe Jackson, Nap Lajoie. Van
Gregg and a few more Nap regulars
along to bolster up the Scouts if they
expect to have look in with the Bear
Cats.
Basket has announced the follow
ing lineup for the Bear Cats: South
worth, IT,; Hudnall, S.; Stoll, 3D.;
Hillyard, CT; Lush, IF; Shields, 1b.;
Basket, 2b.; Morton and Frost, p.;
DeVogt and Crosby, C.
Jimmie Sheckard will try to stop the
mad rush of the Bear Cats with Jones,
CT; Sheckard, IT,; Bates, 3D.; Kirk.e,
IF; Gardner, 2b.; Stump, S.; Spill
man G. Foil, c.; Benn, Bluhm and Hay-
Xix, p.
From Thursday on a game will be
played each afternoon by the Regulars
and the Bear Cats, as Sheckard is a
firm believer in giving recruits a
chance to show their gaits.

GET GOOD
WORKOUT BENEATH
HOT SUMNER sun

Jimmy Sheckard took advantage Of
the hot sun on yesterday and put his
Scouts through a stiff workout of
three hours duration down at Mucka-
lee park The boys were all eager
to get the kinks out of their arms that
had crept in during an idle Sunday.
The fans who visited the park saw the
big leaguers go through the same an
tics that have featured their practices
since they came to Americas. Batting
and fielding practices were all the
vogue, but the fans enjoyed seeing Jay
Kirke Hillyard, ct al, slam the pill
and toss the sphere from one to an
other.
The more the fans of Americas see
of the Scouts, the more determined
they are to back Sheckard for one, tvs
three in the American association race.
The Scouts have won a place in the
hearts of the fans of the city and next
summer when John Swindell, Jim Bas-
kettle and the rest of the pitchers are
winning games up in the northern
