Why Some Irishmen Steal Away.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Judging from the letter Of Mr.. Arm
strong which appeared in The Tribune to-day
lish spirit and quite prone to establish con-
illusions on bases unconstitutional" Can
two wrongs make right? II so, the fact
that Poland has suffered at the hands OF
Germany makes it justifable and honorable
for Ireland to belong to the same category
and be maltreated by the perfdious "Sas-
senachs."
1t would cover too much space in your
valuable columns to enumerate the suffer
ings of the Celts, the treaties broken, the
evctions of the tyrannical landlords, etc.
Remember Limerick and the perfidy of the
Albons" is an old saying. As long as Ireland
will be Ireland the treachery Of England on
that memorable day shall never be forgotten
by any true Irshman. Should the Germans
ever be so successful as to invade Ireland,
then God forbid they should prove as de-
spicable and contemplate as their prede-
cessors.
Now, ask why should Irishmen fight for
a cause in which they are not involved? Was
it justice on the part of England to send the
Irish troops to the front while the Kings
own troops remained at home revelling? The
Munster and Dublin Fusiliers bore the brunt
Of the battle; still England failed to make
her appearance on the battle line. The soccer
players refused to fight; the factory workers,
far from enisting, rather felt insulted when
such proposition was placed before them.
Surely the fighting Irish will go! No, not
so many, at the dearest experience possible
human life. O'CONNOR LEHMAN.

the inevitable 1t is apparent that Ger
many defeated would be far better field
for Social Democracy to work in than
Germany victorious would be. A democra-
tization of German society Is, indeed, about
the only promising cure for the evils Of
the deliberate, aggressive militarism which
Germany has cultivated, and Of which she
and most Of her European neighbors are
now the unhappy victims.

Two Kinds Of Justice

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; The "only ten monthsl It's lucky
didn't steal bottle of milk" should bring
the blush Of shame to the judges who are
supposed to be impartial. This kind of par.
TALLY is what makes the people turn agains,
the courts and swear there is no justice for
the poor The maudlin sympathy for men
who have been found guilty by a jury-and
the vast sums of money, time and influence
spent 10 escape the death sentence-is the
strongest argument that can be used in favor
Of capital punishment. Why not do away
with jury trials? The laws of our nation
are laughing stock to moneyed men. Jus.
tiee for all, favor to none, is the only
safe motto. NH

Sir: This is a translation of a letter just
received from my brother. Thinking 1t

the favor to print it in your columns and
oblige, T. DOhAMEL'
Dear Brother: / doubt very much that
the United States will go to war. Mr.. VIII
son is pacifst business man. That word
pacifst sounds very good. but our present
experience shows how wrong it Is There
is no change on our globe; war has been
since man existed, and will be as long as
two men are left on our planet. People who
want TO be free have to make every posi-
BILE sacrifice to be strong. Cursed is the
weak. The pacifst is responsible for the
invasion Of France. 1t is simply foolish to
dream of impossible things
Mr.. Wilson is doing for his country what
Jaures and many others did for France. Mr.
Wilson talks humanity to the Kaiser! Does
ne know how even the civil prisoners are
treated in Germany? Let him come and
see Belgium and the North Of France. HUI
manity and Germany are exactly like the
North Pole and the South Pole, the two ex-
tremes.
You ask me for details Of the fighting
have seen. How could tell you anything
approaching it, No writer, no journalist,
could describe the horror Of il all. | am now,
after five months of hard labor on the bat
tlefeld, taking a we'll needed rest. My baby
whom | did not know smiles to me; my dear
wife nurses me with so much love that do
really forget all the past miseries. / Won
der now if it was not a nightmare. What
we know, We soldiers, is that we are mat
ter alive to-day, and tomorrow, the next
minute perhaps will be no more, THE heart

beaten in six slashing rounds last

like a wildcat from the first round

Murphy simply tore into Welsh at

Welsh carried the first round when
he was the aggressor throughout, but

The International League held a
three-hour session iii New York City
yesterday. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Edward G. Barrow.
Information given out after the
session created an impression that no
one talked but Barrow. According to
reports. considerable time was taken
up in explaining to the magnates that
Harrisburg would not take care of
the Newark orphans next season.
No figures were given out showing
alleged losses during the season. II
a statement was made about Harris
burg's good work, the reporters failed
to hear about it. 1t is certain, no vote
of thanks was rendered Harrisburg
fans for taking care of the 1nterna-
tional castoffs. and saving the league
additional expense.
It is the belief that some action
was taken regarding unpaid bills in
Harrisburg. The directors are sche-
duled for another session to-day, ac-
cording to one dispatch. Another re-
port is that the league adjourned un-
til January II, when the circuit for
next year will be fixed. One dispatch
sent out from New York follows:

which way the baseball wind blows.
They adjourned to-day until January

The whole situation hangs on the ac-

be taken.

one may not regard as beautiful all the

IN the paLroom dances, or in the work
of certain OF the erroTlc and sensational

denied that the art Is receiving more

such high ideals as those of Ruth ST
