The nationalist leader, John Red
mond, has undertaken serious task.
He has attempted to prove to the
people of Ireland that the Irish are
one and the same in the British EN-
pire and to convince the Englishman
that the heart and soul of England is
wrapped up in the prosperity of Ire.
land, and all for greater England.
In his speech delivered last Sunday
in England, the nationalist leader laid
great stress upon the above mentioned
facts and renumerated the thousands
who were enlisting from Ireland in
the English army. His logic, virtual
ly amounts to this: England has proven
beyond doubt for centuries that when.
ever she chooses to exercise her
tyranny, Ireland must suffer and suf-
fer sorely. At the word of command
Ireland has bled profusely. Then
when concessions and relaxations are
granted they are favors and not
rights for which Ireland should be
duly grateful. Ireland is sorely in
need Of an Emmett or a Wolfe Tone
to take advantage of her present gold
en- opportunity to place her in her
rightful position among the nations of
the world.

fashionable. The Catholic Germans of
today have maintained the traditions
of the German people and it is for this
reason that the German character as
reflected for the German Catholics of
this country has appealed so strongly
to those of the Irish race and Catholic
faith in America. The Irish Catholics
and German Catholics in the United
States are the substantial Catholics of
the country. But it is to the indf-
vidual and singular trait of German
patriotism that we turn in admiration
to analyze, because of its dominating
and lasting influence upon American
citizens of German blood Their so.
liability is of the Germans, their pa
triotism is racy of German blood de-
voted to German interests and reflects
German culture all fOstered by the
distinctive feature of the affection
which one German has for another.
Not the government, not the rulers,
not the land, but the people them
selves are the source of German pa
triotism and because of this distinc-
tive feature We have in America that
model Of good fellowship and thorough
sociability, that example of mutual
trust and sympathy which is lacking in
our American patriotism, which might
SO profitably and properly be cult
waited as the proper type of American
patriotism.

Some years ago monument was
erected to notorious anarchist in the
city of Brussels. This was done
through the influence of the Spanish
anarchists, who attempted to bring
honor to the notorious Ferrer. The
German military governor of Belgium,
however, ordered that the monument
be removed. The monument was an
outrage against Belgian sentiment.
The man in whose honor the monu-
ment was erected was the leader of
lawlessness, assassination and revolu-
ton. The English press will, no doubt,
advertise the removal of the monu-
ment as another German atrocity."

The GERMANS IN AMERICA.

We need to preserve among us that
most valuable form Of patriotism
which begets feeling of loving a
people first and then the government
they represent. Such patriotism re.
suits in better fellowship and mutual
trust. We of America need more of
love for friends which 5egets a pa
triotism that is not sectional and hence
does not seek to destroy the patriot.
ism of others in an attempt to elevate
q selfish form of American love of
country. In this respect the Germans
are teaching us great lesson. The
German of half century ago is
German today. German communities
remain German communities. They
do not change for either fad or fancy.
Love of country is trait Of German
character. 1t Is pure and unselfsh and
has coupled with 1t the beautiful ira.
ditional folk lore and historic glories
of the German people. Its literature,
especially its folk lore, has enriched
the languages of civilization. Like the
folk lore of Ireland, the German folk
lore does not appeal to instincts that
are base and selfish. 1t is free and
fanciful and enriches the imagination.
Germans. particularly, have dis.
tinguishing characteristic in a tried
and true affection, which the German
people feel for each other and in this
way their patriotism differs materially
from the patriotism which finds its
chief worth in administration of a
form of government and the rulers
that represent it. Wherever Germans
are found together in a community
there also may be found that distinc.
tive form of sociability and national
sympathy which descends from genera.
ton to generation without being weak
ened. To such an extent is this true
that the term snobbishness is rarely,
II ever, applied in a German com.
munity, because the German character
is not accustomed to severe blows of
friendship and common ties when for.

To such an extent is this true fact
that it is noticeable in German Cath.

prayers with those of countless mil

HoNoR,Ne ST. PATRICK.

Throughout the land on March 18th,
whether the church spire with a
mounted cross in any community indi-
Gates that the Mass is celebrated or
in other communities where there is
nothing to indicate that the faith of
the Irishman is practiced, the name
of st. Patrick is mentioned on Pat
rick's Day. In the calendar of saints
there are few names to vie with the
popularity of the name Of St. Patrick.
Faith, love and prayer we're the in
struments st. Patrick used in his: glor-
ious mission. Irish tradition and Irish
history make him the dominating fig
ure in 1reland's age of glory, and the
faith he brought and the religion he
taught, the one consolation in Ire
lands days of sorrow. The great
apostle of Erin earnestly prayed for
the success of his mission in Ireland
and the zeal and passion of his loyalty
to the cause of Christ kindled in Ire
land flame of faith, passion and zeal
that has never been surpassed in that
land. Fifteen hundred years have
passed since the labors of st. Patrick
in Ireland and Ireland has faithfully
kept for herself and her children the
precious boon that was left to them
by Irelands patron saint. Not only
has this been done for Ireland but
for the nations of the world. Her sons
and daughters have gone to every
point of the compass to sow the seeds
of the faith that were brought to Ire
land by st. Patrick, and neither social
or political ravages of time will ever
be able to efface from the history of
the world the great influence of Ire
lands missionary zeal. The manner in
which Ireland has kept her faith, pre-
served her nationality, maintained the
honor of her sons and daughters and
fought for political, social and religious
freedom under the flag of every nation,
makes the mission of st. Patrick seem
like never ending and ever re-enact-
ed miracle. There is no country in
the world upon the sands of whose
shores has not been written that here
some lonely exile from Erin, wearied
with oppression, yet filled with a de-
sire to be benefactor of mankind,
sought refuge and home where he
might apply his talents and spread
those virtues which has made Ireland
the land of saints. Consequently,
there is no country where Christianity
prevails but contains upon it's calendar
the name of missionary saint from
the Emerald Isle. That the Gods
might annihilate both space and time
and make two lovers happy, was an
ancient and pious prayer, but It's full
was never more devotedly
wished than in the prayer of the exiled
Irish who would see rise from her
subordinated position ground down by
England's tyranny, the national spirit
of Ireland and his native country be-
come a nation among the nations of
the world, republic among the re-
publics, her people free people among
the people of the world and unite in
the spirit of liberal form of govern
ment this land Of liberty with that
land of destiny. Then can the cpl
taph of Emmett be written and st. Pat
rick's labors be exalted and the Island
of Saints grow resplendent among the
nations of the world.

PEACE SUNDAY,

On next Sunday throughout all the
Catholic churches of the land, special
prayers will be offered that peace may
again prevail. Passion Sunday has
been set aside by the Holy Father as
day of special prayer for peace. The
Holy Father, because of his position,
the consideration he has given to those
who feel the consequences of war,
which bears like a heavy cross upon
his pontificate, needs the prayers and
sympathy of all his loyal children. The
neutrality of the Holy See, the silence
of Pope Benedict concerning all
things that might be constituted to
stir up discord, the human considera-
ton given to the excuses of unbridled
national passions, is graciously con-
doned in the neutrality of the success
sor of Peter. He sees the children
of the church and those who are broth.
ers together in Christ, graphing in
death struggle. He is conscious of
the feeling Of the broken hearts of
mothers and widows and the tides of
human. suffering which ebb and flow
aalleviated only temporarily by occa-
stonal reports of victory on either side.
In this great conflict the Holy Father
is unable to distinguish uniforms, ban
sners or nationalities. He recognizes his
children and his farseeing glance is
concerned only with the ultimate hap
piness Of all and victory for the
peace Of Christ; for the church mill.
gtant instead Of nations militant.
Moved by these considerations every
devoted Catholic will take an indi-
yidual interest in furthering the prop.
Asanda Of peace and mingling his
