IRISH PLEDGE LIVES
TO PROTECT BRITAIN
FROM GERMAN PERIL
Old Feud With England
Pronounced Dead, as Mass
Meeting in London Sings
"A Nation Once Again.

LONDON, oct. %.
one Of the greatest Irish gatherings In
the history Of London was held last night
In Central Hall, Westminster where
thousands Of Irishmen were addressed by
T. p. o'Connor, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
and Dr. r. J. Mcnamara. Standing with
right hands upraised the great throng
aolemnly pledged themselves to fight for
England, France and Belgium until the
German military system is, destroyed and
until the Belgian King and people come
into their own again.
Many thousands were unable TO effect
an entrance to the hall. but they, too,
raised their hands and pledged their lives
and sacred honor to the allied cause and
Joined in a tremendous chorus' IN singing
"A Nation Once Again" and GOD Save
the King"
The meeting unanimously adopted reso-
lutions to support John Redmond in fight
ing for the freedom Of England, France
and Belgium, and cheered for five min
utes when Mr.. OConnor in his speech
said:
THE old feud, between England and
ireland is forever ended and Ireland is
nation once again. England has done
justice. and Ireland will shed the last
drop OF her blood for the preservation Of
the British Empire. From this day forth
the frontiers Of ireland are the battle
lines of the allied armies fighting for the
freedom of the whole world"
we will never sheathe the sword until
Belgium has got back her freedom; until
every inch of her soil is clear, until a
treaty is made not on a scrap of paper.
but on a foundation behind which stands
the millions OF the British race"

INVISIBLE MILLIONS
WAGE BATTLE BEHIND

Miles of renches Hide

War of Spectacular Con-
flict.
BY ALFRED j. RoRKE

PARIS, Oct 2O.--Thls war might well
be called a war of invisible millions.
Apart from occasional bayonet charges
and cavalry actions there is little about
1t that is spectacular.
AZ the battles in the four countries
progress II is the shells and bullets from
guns and rifles that cannot be seen that
arc spreading death and wounds among
the soldiers of the warning nations.
Miles upon miles, of trenches, miles
upon miles of barbed wire, thousands of
Invisible infantrymen. never-ending
roar and rattle of invisible cannon and
machine guns-that is the battlefield of
today.
The movements of troops are con-
Quoted under cover of night. Broadly,
they are regulated thus. Each company
puts In three days in the first line of
trenches, three in the second line and
then has three days of rest. No words
pass as the reliefs are made, one COM
pany crawling in and another out in
deathly silence, with possibly few
handshakes here and there.
sentries are silently posted as the new
defenders settle to sleep until dawn. But
the gunners never sleep. over the
trenches from sunrise to sunrise the
shells scream active defiance from one
line to the other.
AS dawn breaks an almost whispered
word Of command brings to their knees
the recumbent figures on the straw
strewn earth.
As the commanders make a search of
the onamy's position for signs of life to
enable them to get the range the men
briefly and efficiently examine their arms,
and then wait. The officers continue their
watch.
Suddenly a keen eye detects move
ment in the area known to include the
enemy's trenches. The officer quickly
Judges the range and the order to fire
by companies" promptly follows.
The men rise above the trenches, rattle
a volley at the enemy and disappear even
more quickly to await further orders,
Meanwhile the officers are observing the
effect.
SO it goes all day, volley after voley,
range after range. Now and then
shell bursts among the rifemen and some
fall back in, that rest which is destined
to remain unbroken. Their bodies lie
untouched all night, but their places arc
filed by men from the second line, who
often have to kneel on the bodies of their
fallen comrades.
Each movement. from the second line
to the first, i5 balanced by correspond
inS movement from the resting line to
the second. Thus the fighting, killing,
wounding and filling up the gaps contn.
ue until nightfall brings a brief but
often troubled rest.

urally the Cossacks thought it had been
thrown purposely, 1t was an unfortu-
nate Joke, for not one of the workmen
lived"
For over a century the Cossack has
been the "bogyman" of Continental Eu-
tope. German and even French mothers
to this day frighten their babies into
obedience with the terrifying announce
ment that the Cossack is coming" Just
as the English mothers of old used to
sing to their refractory children:
Hush ye, hush ye, little pet ye,
Hush ye, hush ye, little fret ye,
The Black Douglas shall not get ye."
But the Cossack Is not so bad as he
Is painted, to judge, at any rate. from a
letter in the Copenhagen Politiken, dated
from Berlin. 1t says:
Although East Prussia Is now virtually
cleared of Russian troops. comparatively
few of the inhabitants have returned to
their homes. though the Russians, even
the much feared Cossacks. seem to have
behaved fairly we'll during the time they
spent on German soil"
A little humor was injected into the
German cruiser NurnbeTg's occupation OF
the British cable station on Tanning
Island In the Pacific. In the operators
room cable message was posted con-
sFicuously which stated that the Leipzig
or Nurnberg was due any day. One OF
the German officers saw this and, with
smile, said, Rather interesting, don't
you think, I'll take this as a souvenir"
German sailors borrowed a saw from
ore or the cable employees and feiled
giant hag pole, at the top of which flew
British flag. The pole was cut into
sections and the saw and the flag We're
taken aboard the Nurnberg as souvenirs
A correspondent who has witnessed
ightng in the region about ST. Mihisl
tells this story:
Il was able To spend an entire day In
the German trenches which have been
constructed to prevent the French armies
with headquarters at TOul and Nancy,
attempting a thanking attack, In one OF
the trenches the soldiers had organized
a singing society. The whole scene was
wonderfully picturesque.
"A thick fog hid the French trenches,
500 yards away. The ghostlike figures OF
the greenish gray-clad figures In the
trenches were strangely silhouetted In the
midst. Occasionally the thunder OF the
guns would punctuate the choruses The
singing was remarkable, as many OF the
soldiers had trained voices. Some stood
at attention Others had their hands
tightly clasped In the attitude OF PRAYER
They sang It's the Day OF the Lord ana
MY Naterland, Beloved VateFland.'

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
 PLEASES FAIRBANKS

In advocating the establishment of central power plants In Alaska, the Democratic Territorial convention, which met recently at skagway rem dered the territory valuable service. We, Of the interior, must have cheap CT power, to insure the full develop ment of our mineral resources, and the only way we can get the needed relief is through the establishment of central generating stations. This is particularly true of the Fairbanks re- zion. where the high cost of power is sapping the life of the camp,
 With vast areas of low-grade placer ground on every side of us, aud small goid.bearlng ledges stretching out in every direction, we are confronted with the spectacle of a steadily de- clining output, and all because the cost of fuel is such as to rob the min ing industry of its profits. In fact, it is said of this camp that the cost of operating is higher than in any oth. CT part of the world.
 The establishment of a central pow CT plant in the Panama valley would mean a saving of from 50 to 70 per cent to the operators of the Fair banks region; 1t would mean a revival q permanent basis as the result of the of mining throughout the entire dis development of the many hard rocF properties which cannot be worked trict, and the camp would soon be on under the unfavorable conditions that now exist.
 The Democratic organization has pledged itself to work for the estab- lshmont of central power plants, and every other organization in the terri tory, political and otherwise, should cooperate to bring about this desir- able reform. Tananaites especially should lend their support to the move ment, for 1t is this particular part of Alaska which stands most in need of cheaper power.-Fairbanks Times.

POCAHONTAS-ROLFE
By WILLIS FLETCHER JOHNSON

Pocahontas appears to have been
a nickname Of the Indian Princess,
her real name being Alatoaca; while
she was baptized Cat jamestown on
April IL, 1913 under that Of Re
bccca. Her father was Powhatan, a
leading Werowance or chief OF At
tanoughkomouck, as the Indians
called that part Of Virginia. He
lived at WcroWocomOcO, about a
dozen miles north Of jamestown,
and is said to have had twelve
wives, and in 1912 twenty sons and
a dozen daughters OF the latter
Matoaca or PocahontaS was his
favorite and she was probably the
Youngest. She was born in 1898;
50 she was only twelve years old at
the time Of her rescue Of Captain
Smith. Later. after Smiths return
to England. she saved the life of
