army is prompted solely by the avarice
of armament and munition makers.
That nations enfeebled and impover-
ished by the most frightful losses
should contemplate war of conquest
against the United States is a sugges-
tfon that can seem reasonable only to
militaristic monomaniacs.
I'VE believe that we should have no
class of ambitious youths anxious to
bring about war with view of per-
sonal advancement.
I'VE believe that the manufacture
of death dealing implements of war
should not be based upon the idea Of
profit making, but solely upon neces-
sity of national defense.
I'VE believe that the making of for.
eign loans to finance war-like enter
prises is subversive of peace, and in
wolves the financial interests of our
people with the declining fortunes of
belligerent nations and that loans to
belligerents from the Federal Reserve
Banks are illegal and unneutral.
"Recollecting that scarcely more
than year ago science philosophy,
religion and a rapidly advancing civili-
zation promised prosperity and hap
piness to mankind, recollecting that,
within the year that has elapsed two
millions of human beings have per-
ished on the field of battle or in the
slower agonies Of the hospitals; recol-
lecting the billions of wasted treasure.
the desolated provinces, the weeping
women and the orphan children made
by this war, we do, therefore, from
this hour pledge our most determined
efforts to counteract the teachings of
false morality regarding warfare, to
expose in their true light the hypo-
critic phrases used to encourage the
war spirit, to eliminate from public
life every politician and every false
teacher playing upon the prejudices
Of the unthinking, while secretly serv-
ing the manufacturers of arms and
armament.
Resolved, that the work of this
convention be continued in a National
Organization, with power to select
patriotic men and women in every
state and city in the Union, to con.
duct campaign for enlightenment on
the principles we have above enun-
ciated."

FLAG ADVERTISEMENTS ARE TO
BE CONDEMNED.

BE CONDEMNED.
Earnest protest against the use Of
the United States flag or the great
seal for commercial purposes and des-
ecration Of the flag is one of the i'm
portant measures that will be urged
for definite action at the coming en-.
campment of the Grand Army.
The protest over the use of the
United States flag for advertising pur
poses is largely on account Of Its use
abroad, as foreigners seem to have an
idea, 1t Is said, that an advertisement
which bears the imprint of the grea,
seal Of the United States or the Unitet
States flag is guarantee by the u. 8
government.
Hundreds of bills have been intro
duced into Congress for a fedora
statute, and the United States Is th,
only nation that does not thus protec
its nag.

Somber sentiments prevail among
irish Nationalists Of every stripe just
now, from the most radical Sim
Feiner to the most conservative mem,
Der of the Redmondite party. These
feelings can hardly be described as
dropping hopes, but they might be
summed up as condition of anxiety
and doubt.
The slow progress of the war, as it
drags it's dreadful length along, bring
daily direful news to homes in Ire
land as in every other portion Of the
United Kingdom is of course largely
responsible for this.
There is much foreboding (notwith-
standing England's prodigious war
notes, and the hearty response of the
people, as to conditions that are like
ly to prevail, especially in the more
poverty stricken parts of Ireland, after
the war is over, and as a result of It.
The Right DR.. Gaughran, Bishop Of
Meath, addressing congregation in
Mullingar cathedral recently, predict
ed that when the war is over Ireland
will suffer dire distress. The people,
he said, would, very generally, be in
want. The numbers of the poor would
be multiplied and their needs greatly
Increased. At once his Lordship coun-
selled preparation, and his advice was
that the best preparation that could
be made was the establishment of
branches of the st. Vincent de Paul
society in every parish Of Ireland.
The Bishops admonition has struck
a resounding note all through Ireland
and already steps are being taken
along the lines suggested.
Another thing that has of late been
contributing to the dependency re-
ferred to, is the stupid bungling of the
government in its administration of
the absurd defense Of the Realm Act,
something has reduced conditions in
Ireland to practically those Of martial
law.
Riffs In the Lutte.
The prosecution under the act men
7 toned and Punishment from Ireland
of four of the original organizers OF
the Irish volunteers still continues to
excite angry feelings and has even
caused recriminations to pass between
such steadfast political friends as
Chief Secretary Birrell and Joseph
Derlin, M. p, and other leaders of the
Parliamentary party. This rift in the
home rule lutte appeared several days
ago when T.. M. Healy and other Irish
members subjected the government
officials to severe cross questioning
upon the subject. Attention was called
to the fact that the four organizers
PIN, McCullagh, Blythe and Mellows
had received orders from the military
authorities to leave Ireland, that they
had refused holding that Ireland II
their native country and that they hat
done nothing for which they should bt

DULUTH BISHOP URGES

ENGLISH sLEuTHs,
SEARCH PRIEST

MUCH eXclCemenC was caused
in Sligo by the report that
Rev. M. O'Flanagan, of Cliffony, this
county, had been arrested by the mill
tary authorities under the Defence of
the Realm Act on August rs while
on his way to celebrate Mass at one
Of the country missions. An inves-
tigation was made by the local Ma
tionalists and it was found that the
report originated in the fact that two
special government inspectors, at
tached to the General Friends "Pub-
lie Safety" squad, had intercepted the
priest at 8 a. m. and insisted on
searching him on the public highway.
Father O'Flanagan delivered an able
address at the Dublin City Hall on the
afternoon that O'Donovan Rossa's re-
mains were laid in state there. He is
we'll known in America, having rep
resented the Gaelic League here for
some years.
An interlocutory Injunction to re-
strain Father O'Flanagan and others
from trespassing or cutting turf on
the Congested Districts Board land at
Clooneroo, County Sligo, was recently
granted by Mr.. Justice PIN in the
Chancery Division. Mr.. R. G. Leonard

peared for the C.D.B.
Counsel read an affidavit by Ser
geant Perry, RIG, stating that after
Mass on June 20 Father O'Flannagan,
addressing the people outside the
rchurch, said the attitude of the Board
as revealed in their letter to him
would mean that. the tenants on the
Ashley estate bought through the Els.
tates Commissioners had no chance
of getting turf banks on the estate
bought by the C.D.B.
Father O'Flanagan, continuing, said,
according to the affidavit: "The people
are sick of promises. We have mem.
bers of Parliament telling us to keep
quiet and when the war is over we will
get Home Rule. What l desire to ad.
wise the people to do is for every
man and boy who wants turf bank
and who can work a turf spade, is to
go to the waste bog tomorrow and cut
plenty of turf. You need not be the
least bit afraid. God put that bog
there for the use of the people, and
if you are not as we'll fortified as II
you were out in German dugou1
trench, you will be formidable op
potent enough If any one chances tt

always said to be Irelands opportu
