the headsman's ak and all for loving
his country in the stirring days of 90.
The millions of self-respecting men,
descendants of some of the great
races of Europe, who have time out
of number proven their loyalty to the
land of their adoption, are placed I'M
der suspicion because they are kin to
those who are engaged in the Europ-
can death struggle. To prove our
American loyalty, which has been
proven again and again in many a
hard fought battlefield, we must stop
using the hyphen, we must forget that
we are Irish.
Manufactured famine and kindred
atrocities have failed to exterminate
the Irish race, diplomacy of the most
finished type has failed to Anglicize
America. Cecil Rhodes was a great
English patriot. He realized the value
of public opinion, he knew that a man
here and there could mold the opinion
of thousands, and when he established
the five scholarships for America in
Oxford University he accomplished
more than all the Diplomats have and
ever will accomplish. Americans COM
ing back from that English University
where their opinions have been COM
pletely changed, will in the space of
Is years become big factor in mould
ing American public opinion in favor
of England and so the leaven is al
ready working.
Irish Americans! Great-hearted,
broad-minded real American patriots
loved and reverenced your hyphen be-
cause of Commodore Barry, of the
CAROLS, the Sullivans, the Moylans,
the Meaghers, the Mulligans, and the
in blood so that the great American
Republic may live and prosper. Dare
you Irish Americans of today do less?
Those Of you who are not of the
household of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians and its Auxiliary, join that
splendid fish Catholic organization
which has done SO much toward keep
ing the lamp of faith burning amidst
alien surroundings. Do everything
in your power to have the history of
our people both in Ireland and in
America taught in our schools. Is
there anything to be ashamed of in
that history? No, a thousand times
no! A short time ago a German
American priest who is vicar-general
of a certain diocese when approached
on the subject of Irish history in the
schools said, II am heartily in favor
of it for I consider the history of Ire
land identical with the history of the
Catholic Church, Still we have those
in our own ranks who seem to hate
the very mention of Irish history, who
seem bent on stamping out everything
Irish, forgetting in their blindness
that if the time ever comes when the
Irish in America will lose their Irish
characteristics the church will have
lost one of it's best assets. The Irish
American who has chung close to the
ideals of his forefathers, is the highest
type of citizen.

While Greece Theoretically Objects to Allied Troops Entering Her Territory, She Will Not Raise Finger Against Them
tRepubIican A. p. Leased wIrel

LONDON, Nov. 24-There has been a distinct improvement in the diplo- matic relations between Greece and the entente powers, following the presentation of a collective note by the representatives of the allies. The Greek premier is reported to have stated that while Greece put forward theoretical objections to allied troops entering Greek territory and using it as a victualing base, she would not raise finger against them.
 All that the allies are now wait ing for is a guarantee that Greece will carry out this assurance.
 On the military side the Balkans; on the other hand, especially so far as the Serbian northern army is con- cerned, the situation has grown graver. Austro-German ana Bulgarian troops, operating in three separate columns have entered Kossovo plain, where the Serbians are expected to make their last stand, and have oc- cupied Mitrovitza, the latest Serbian capitol as well as Pristina, and at one point at least have driven the Serbians across the Sitnica river which drains the valley
 Although the Serbians might make stand between the valley and the Albanian and Montenegrin frontiers they will be at a great disadvantage owing to their inability to get muni- tons and supplies, while their op- ponents will have virtually every thing they require
 The Serbians on the Katchanik front, and also in the southwest cor ner of their country continue to hold back the invaders. as do the Anglo French forces in the southeast. The Russians are reported to have pre- pared an army of $50, 900 for opera tions in the Balkans, but the point away they will strike has not been indicated.
 While the allies are showing re- newed activity in Gallipoli. the most important engagements are taking place on the Austro-I Italian front, and while Gorizia has not yet fallen, il has been rendered untenable, a fate which. likewise appears to be awaiting Riva, in the Trentino. The station ali Riva has come within range of the Italian guns. This latter information contained in the Vienna official com munication gives some confirmation to the rumors that Rowereto has beer evacuated by the Austrians.
 There have been no important events on either the western or east. ern front.

WAR SUMMARY

Two thousand men killed or wound ed is the price paid by the British forces advancing on Bagdad in the capture of the towns of Zeur and Ctesiphon. the latter only eighteen miles distant from their objection. In addition owing to lack of water, the British after having captured Ctesi- phon were forced to retire four miles to the Tigris river to secure a supply. The casualties of the Turks in the fighting are not stated, but 500 of them were prisoners and large quan- titles of arms and equipment were taken.
 Nothing is known of the situation in the south, where the British, the French and the Serbs are operating Iagainst the Bulgarians.
 Of the Serbian combination in gen. eral. the Serbian war minister is quoted as saving that although S5,100 Serbians have been killed or wounded and 2e.0e0 token prisoner, the opera tions are anything but ended"
 The Serbians, he continued, would continue to hold the passes and wear down the invaders until aid came from the French and British forces and he added assurances that France and England were preparing surprises
 in tho Balkans.
 Unofficial advices are to the effect that Greece has replied favorably to the demands of the entente powers and that the tension between the powers and the Hellenic government, has therefore greatly relaxed. In com aI not to disarm Anglo-French or Serb troops who mav be forced across her frontier. that the entente allies shall have liberty of action on Greek ter ritory to secure their safety. and that railway and telegraphic facilities will be accorded them.
 Heavy artillery engagements are in progress in France and Belgium and aiong the Austro- Italian front. In this latter region the Italians are still carrying out their strong offensive against the Gorizia sector, in the hope Iof opening the road to Triest.
 In Russia. near Riga, the Germans have been compelled to give ground before the Russians at some points and on several other sectors farther south Teutonic attacks have been re- pulsed.

Note Is Friendly

PARIS. Nov. 24-The collective note of the allies to the Greek government was expressed in friendly spirit and was general in character. It request ed the Greek government, according to an Athens dispatch to the Havas agency. to confirm the assurances all ready given relative to the position of the allies forces on Greek soil. The note asked for the earliest reply possible, under the circumstances.
 Prior to the presentation of this note, the questions it deals with were discussed at the luncheon given by King Constantine in honor of Denys Cochin. member of the French cabi- net. M. Cochin's views were favor ably received by the king, and no doubt appears to exist, the dispatch adds. that the Greek government will supply all the guarantees requested
 An Athens dispatch to the Havas agency dated Tuesday says:
 After the meeting of the Greek cabinet, which considered the joint note of the allies concerning Greeee's attitude toward the allies troops, it was said that the situation had been cleared, the demands of the entente powers having been more moderate than was generally looked for in Greece. It is understood that the al lies ask simply that Greece assure the security of the allied troops in Mace donia.
