HUNDRED AND FOUR YEARS
PENANCE.

A notable example of the discipline
enforced by an Irish general, more
than hundred years ago, on his sol
diers in war time, has just come to
light by the conclusion of a penance
imposed on the Twelfth Lancers 1O4
years ago by the Duke of Wellington,
for sacking monastery in Spain, in
the Peninsula wars. The Twelfth Ian.
GERS, having camped near a famous
monastery, broke into the cellars and
smashed and drank a large portion
of their contents. 1t so happened
that the Iron Duke-not Catholic,
remember-came along as the regi.
ment was at the height of it's debauch.
He ordered the soldiers out, gathered
the monks together, took note of
their complaints and demanded the
cellarer to tell him the number of
bottles consumed and destroyed. This
the good lay brother put at 1O4. The
duke then ordained that once a year
for 104 years the regiment should do
parade of penance ON the anniyer-
sary of their misdemeanor. The regu-
lation was carried out. The time ap-
pointed came to an end recently, when
the Lancers, who have fulfilled their
obligation even during the stress of
the present war, made their last pen.

Attacks on peaceful Surrey" have

difficult to find an important town in

senal or naval town or harbor Is at
tackled, the locality is carefully

cations are always concealed This
course is perfectly correct so that the
enemy may not be informed as to the
location or extent Of the destruction.
l visited the city of Hull and could
see plainly some of the great damage
wrought in that port and was told
that at least 600 casualties have fol-
lowed Zeppelin raids on Hull. This
is a fortified town where small army
is working on transports and war ma
chinery.
Shop workers trying to leave Eng
lish munition towns for Belfast are
often stopped and forced into the
army. On this point l do not know
how long the English working class
will allow the government to except
Ireland from military service. My
observation showed that the English
factory hands talked to expressed
satisfaction over the execution of the
Irish rebels and their feeling is that
the 1000 rebel prisoners in England
should be held there until after the
war. The war has wrought up the
working class to new feelings of hate
and intolerance and much Of that
element regard the Irish who refuse
to fight for England as a race of
traitors for whom no punishment is
too severe.

New York, Sept. 81 was struck by
the strange account today of the in.
vasion Of England by 10 Zeppelins
last night, as usual, few killed or in.
jured and no military damage DONE"
The claim is invariably made that
mostly innocents, women and chill
dren, in unfortitied towns are the vic.
Tins.
The truth is the Zeppelins have
killed many soldiers and sailors in
fortified towns and have destroyed
hundreds of millions of property in
ordinance shops, dock yards, NUM-
ton factories and their constant and
bold appearances, increasing in size
and bomb-throwing capacity, hold the
greatest possible terror for the British
people and their defensive forces.

Gently and made careful investigation
of the effect Of the Zeppelin raiders
and am certain that the many over
head raids have caused enormous
damage to military, naval stores,
docks and buildings all of which is
we'll known to the men in service
at the points attacked. There is
genuine fear and terror in all arsenal
and barrack towns. The disasters
are hushed up and the men are for.
hidden to talk openly of the raids or
to be interviewed, and newspapers
which accurately described the scenes
after a raid, would be suppressed and
the editors severely punished under
the defense of the Realm act.

siderable damage had been done the

There have been many raids you
notice just east of London on the
Thames. They are directed at the
Royal Arsenal, one of the largest in
the world where 10000 men are work
ing making almost every class of
military stores. There is the garri-
son OF the Royal Artillery and
naval and military hospital. All night
searchlights play in the skies watch
ing for the airships, all of which
have escaped, at least up to July last.
Nearby are the Royal Military col.

miles from the heart of London. Il
was told by men who had worked
there and left through fear of the
Zeppelins, that severe damage has
been caused by bombs falling on
plants, docks and boats and that on
several occasions steamers and ferry
boats have been hit in the docks and

at the plants and on the grounds and
many wounded are still in the mill.
