IRELAND AND MILITARY RULE

The following statement of actual
conditions in Ireland appeared in the
New York Evening Post of Septem-
ber Is, in a letter from Mr.. Francis
Sheehy Skeffington:
Sir-Since l came to the United
States month ago, find that many
Americans, thanks to the careful cen.
sorship exercised by the English Gov
ernment over press, mails and cables,
are quite unaware Of the existence
Of regime of military terrorism in
Ireland. And when the narration of
my own personal experiences and
events of which I have first-hand
knowledge has convinced them that
military terrorism does exist, some
of them fall back on a second line
Of defence. "These things" they
say, "are contingent upon a state of
war everywhere; the Defence of the
Realm Act applies to Great Britain
also, and Ireland has no special griev-
ance."
I propose to show that this argu-
ment is not wel-founded; that the
events which have taken place in
Ireland have no parallel in the ap.
plication of the Defence of the
Realm Act to England, and are contin.
gent. not upon state of war in It.

conquered country held by military

Never Such a Crisis

Rev. A. Callaghan, P. P, Bonnicoul-
in, speaking recently at the meeting of
the North Mayo Executive, said he
thought every Irishman realized that
there was never a crisis as that
whcih faced them today. They were all
Irishmen working for the same great
cause, and after years of experience
it was very far from his mind to
condemn any Irishman, no matter
what camp he belonged to. He would
let all do their best, and let each win
in his own way if he could. No Irish
man had yet said that the present
Home Rule Bill was anything like
perfect; in his opinion it was far from
perfection. 1t was not what ireland
in justice had a right to expect, and
it was nothing like what England
should give Ireland if she had regard
even to her own interests. He was
struggling for rs years in the Nation.
al cause, and he would like to see a
little more than "a scrap Of paper
for his struggle. The financial provi
sions which might have been fair to
Ireland before the war, would be alb
solutely unjust after the war, SO that
the bill must be amended in every
way, and given to Ireland without any
little holes being pushed into it. They
talked about dividing Ireland-the old
game of having North and South, like
the Kilkenny cats, fighting each 9th
er; but England could keep to Itself
any Home Rule that did not give them
one Ireland. They would be one Ire
land, or no Ireland at all. If this
''scrap of paper" were not put in
force were they to continue to send
representatives to fight their cause in
London? He (Father Callaghan)
could tell them that the scene of op

General Samuel Pearson is in the
Twin Cities lecturing on the European
war for the benefit of the German
Austrian-Hungarian Red Cross. He
will lecture in the Auditorium in Min
neapolis on Wednesday evening, Oc-
tober 9Th. General Pearson is typi-
cal soldier and thoroughly under
stands military affairs. His first ex-
perience came when he fought in an
uprising started by the blacks in Zulu
land. When the Beers in South Africa
revolted, General Pearson was on the
side of the Beers. He was with Dom
Paul Kruger and the gallant Beers
through their fight for freedom. Cen
,eral Pearson has great respect for
Dom Paul, and his heart was in SYM
pathy for the Boer cause. Kruger rec
ognized his ability and sent him on
diplomatic mission to the United
States in the cause of the Boer repub-
lie. At the close of the war, General
Pearson suffered the bitter experience
of being exiled from his native land Of
the Transvaal. He was born at Natal,
Zululand, South Africa, of Danish par
,ents in 1863. AS an exile he came to
the United States and became a citi-
zen, locating at Scranton, Pa, where
his family now resides. War with Cen
eral Pearson has had a decidedly busi-
ness side. He was military advisor to
Castro at Venezuela. By profession
the general is mining engineer. He
is connected with a business house
that had branches in Amsterdam, one
in Frankfort and one in Paris. His
business happened to make it neces-
sary for him to be in Europe at the
time the war broke out. He was in
Cologne when the German troops mob
ilized, and saw 100000 soldiers in
German army uniforms start for the
battle line. In nineteen days, declares
General Pearson, $4,000 trains passed
on single track in Cologne. General
Pearson became an attache of the Ger.
man army, and remained with the
army during eight months of war,
coming to the United States in April
in the interest Of the Red Cross. Gen.
eral Pearson talks intimately about
military affairs in Europe and about
the efficiency of the German army, fol
which he predicts ultimate victory
France, next to Germany, is the most
efficient military power in the world
There are 100000 German soldiers
constantly circulating from the battle
field to their homes; thus each soldier
on the firing line has an opportunity

The world learns of the charms and
beauties of its several countries
through the native singers and poets.
Each claims his own country is the
most attractive on earth and each ma
tive son who hears the song believes
it. These cosmopolitan United States
have heard the songs of every nation
ality but we still sing and believe our
country to be almost Incompatible.
That is a(form of patriotism. But the
lrishman who comes here, or the son
or daughter of an Irishman always
dreams and delights to hear of "the
ould sod" and, so much has the ma.
tive American heard of the Emerald
Isle that 1t is safe to say that we all,
at some time or other, have felt de-
sire to see 1t for ourselves.

terest taken in furnishing war equip
ment and supplies is certainly an un-
neutral position to take, declares the
former general of the Boer war. The
wide experience of General Pearson,
his keen interest of military affairs,
his experience, and his keen observa-
tion of military affairs gives his forth
coming lecture at the Auditorium a
valuable and extraordinary interest to
any person interested in world affairs,
and particularly the European conflict
upon which General Pearson speaks
with authority.

SENATOR STONE URGES EXTRA
SESSION..

Senator william J. Stone, OF Mis-
souri,, called on President Wilson last
week and urged that an extra session
Of Congress be called not later than
October 18th, so that the Columbian
and Nicaraguan treaties and the pro.
posed cloture rule might be given con-
sideration in advance of the winters
regular legislative program.
It is said that although the Presi-
dent did not commit himself he is in.
clined to favor the Missourian's sug-
gestion.
Senator Stone is chairman of the
foreign relations committee, and while
he would not comment on the matter
discussed with the President, he ad.
mitted that the international situation
was generally review.

tween self.governing country, where
constitutional rights must be to some
extent recognized even in war time,
and conquered country, where all
that counts is military force. The con-
trast, which have worked out in de-
tail in the case of the attacks on free
dom of the press, holds good right
through every department of the ad-
ministration.
In one respect only, the English
method is apparently-but only appar-
ently-more drastic than the Irish
procedure. The Labor Leader case was
tried in camera. and no Irish case un-
der the Defence of the Realm Act has
yet been tried in camera. But that is
because in Ireland they have mostly
dispensed with the formality of trial
altogether! Where trials do take
place, the Dublin Castle officials write
to the Dublin press-now intimidated
by the suppression of other papers,
or heavily subsidized by big recruit
ing advertisements-and ask them ito

a bare outline of the proceedings" as
Dublin Castle considers it against the
public interest that details of the evi-
dence or the speeches of counsel in
this case should be given to the pub
lie press. Il quote textually from a
letter addressed by the Under.Secre-
tary for Ireland to the editors of all
the Dublin papers). Thus the Eng
lish Government in Ireland secures
the effect Of q trial in camera without
the odium of publicly ordering the ex-
clusion Of the press.
Why, It may be asked, should Eng
land care about the odium? It is part
of the English game. not merely to
keep Ireland quiet, but to pretend that
Ireland is quiet. This pretence-that
Ireland is satisfied and is at one with
England in the present warts great

CONCRETE FLOORS FOR DAIRY

of Liquid Manure.

The Babcock test never makes

Real money is lost by having cows
calve in spring instead of fall.
1t is a good rule to have every COW
in herd tested at least once year
for tuberculosis.
To insure steady motion, a separa-
tor must be fastened to a solid foun-
dation. A concrete floor gives this
better than anything else.
Sometimes lack of exercise causes
barrenness in dairy cattle. 1t is never
well to allow the dairy COW to take on
much fat. Always give her plenty of
exercise.
The average COW in full milk flow
will consume from thirty to forty
pounds of silage to advantage. Add
to this some ten pounds of dry fod-
der. and the roughage feed is COM
plete.
Only concrete floors should be per-
mitted in a dairy barn. They cost
more. perhaps, originally. but they are
the cheapest in tho long run. For one

to Undermine Health Of Poultry
Than Anything Else.

Always give the breeders a fair
chance to make good. Don't shut
them up in a poorly ventilated and in
sanitary pen, give them poor food and
attention and then expect them to lay
eggs filled with strong, vigorous life
germs. They can't do it. Give them
a fair chance and they will always
do their part.
Insanitary conditions have perhaps
done more to undermine the health
and vigor of poultry than any other
one thing. Certainly it is great han
dicap to the fowls. and they should
not be forced to endure such condi-
lions. Their battle for life is hard
enough without making it harder. SO
help them by giving them a fair
chance aud you will be well paid for
your time and trouble.
