CASE OF SIR
ROGER EASEMENT.

Papers of this country generally
admit that the British Government,
after having executed many others
connected with the recent Irish up
rising who were far less culpable
than Sir Roger Easement, could not,
with any sort of consistency. have
mitigated his sentence. He was bound
to- die because Others of smaller i'm
portance had been put to death. His
ofense, considered from British
point of view, was far more serious
Than that of the Sim Feiners at home.
Great Britain's own injustice and
oppression, contemporary suggests
are responsible for the bitterness with
which thousands of Irishmen regard
her, and yet she continues to feed
the ancient grudge which her own
policy created and has kept alive.
She treats Ireland as a conquered
nation and at the same time holds
her to the patriotic allegiance that
she expects of an English shire.
Great in diplomacy in every other
part of the world, she deals with
Ireland only to blunder. The Eng
lish Irish feud has lasted longer than
any other racial feud known to his
tory. And England has herself large
ly to blame for it. Sir Roger Case
ment adds another to the long and
sinister blacklist which Ireland
counts up against England. Perhaps
the time may come when upon Ire
lands loyalty may depend the fate of
the British Empire. Stranger things
have been known to history.
Macaulay in his history of Eng
land refers to British blunders which
caused the loss of North America and
made of Ireland a withered branch
Of great empire. These assertions
have never been refuted.

RUSSIA'S VAST
RESOURCES.

Russia has between 100000 and
100000 perfectly trained and arm
cd men available for the front, and
every year 100000 boys become OF
military age and are eager to JON
the army, declares DR.. 3. S. Dlckey'
who has returned to Pittsburgh, Pa,
from the European war, colonel OF
the Russian army Medical Corps.
Dr.. Dickey said there are 75o,oOo
men in the army of the Caucasus and
100000 on the Russian western
front. Russia can lose every man now
in action and immediately duplicate
it's forces from the mobilization camps
Inspired by the ideal of granting to
the great masses of people OF broader
political rights, the Russian troops
are now fighting with a patriotic
spirit unknown to the world, DF'
Dickey said. The mobiles have aVak-
cned the returned Colonel declared,
and the people likely will be given
at the end of the war greater free
dom than they would ask for.
When the war began, only orc
half Of ne Russian troops could re
armed. Soldiers went into battle
with the Instructions to wait unLis a
comrade fell and then take his gun
and fight. Now, Colonel Dickey says
there are guns for every man IN ac-
zion. Arms were Secured from the
United States and Japan. Through
out all Russia the aristocracy mas
had an awakening, and the sentl-
ment among the Russian nobility IS
overwhelmingly in favor Of libsratlns
the peasants from their former OPP
messed state and educating them.

THE RETURN
VOYAGE.

The Baltimore Sun III Comment
ing upon the departure OF the Ger
man submarine Deutschland says;
"we wish her good luck and safe de-
liverance from the thousand eyes and
arms of her powerful enemy. Not be-
cause she is German, rot because
her escape would annoy and lrrltate
Great Britain, but because she is
human proposition, because she re-
presents in a high degree human
horo;sm. human self-sacrifice, human
devotion to ideals. The Deutschland
is the expression of German patrio-
tism. We cannot look upon hers with
out being stimulated in our own.
sbo has piven us an object-lesson in
love of country, and the pulse OF
American patriotism beats quicker
hv reason of the generous emulation
which her dash across the seas IN
spires. We cannot say, Hoch the
Kaiser, but we do say, Hoch the
Deutschland, because she has per-
formed gallant exploit that stlrs
tie red blood in every manly heart
The crew of the Deutschland cheer
cd America before passing out OF the
canes. expressive of the appreciation
of lie many courtesics received While
the boat lay in the harbor of Bal

NOT PURPOSE TO
DESTROY GERMANY.

: The Kaiser in recent proclamation
said:
"With Gods gracious help l am
convinced that the future deeds of
the German soldiers will equal those
of the past and present in your deter
mination to fight against the enemy
that seeks to destroy the German
nation"
las the Baltimore American asks, IS
there any disposition upon the part
of the Allies to destroy Germany? If
such exists it has not found express
sion. They have declared their pur-
pose to destroy German militarisnI;
and this is exactly the firm purpose
held by the German socialists prior
to the outbreak of the war. So that
this intention is not tantamount to
an intention to destroy Germany. In
fact, some of the most responsible
public men Of England have declared
that Germany should not be deprlv-
ed of it's place in the family Of nations,
and should be permitted and encourag-
ed to hold its colonies and to develop
it's resources. The war upon the side
of the Allies, if declarations of their
leading men may be given credence,
is q war to break down a military
caste. 1t may be confidently asserted
that proportionate reduction of their
armament may the gladly entered
upon by the Allies if victorious. So
if Germany is fighting for the in
teprity of it's territory, for the in
teprity of it's intrinsic ideals or the
integrity of its world opportunity, 1t
appears to be fighting for chimera-
as these apparently are not menaced'
The faculty for misapprehension, that
characteristic of the Government set
IN Germany, seems not to have been
lessened by the experiences OF the
war.
According to the Kaiser, although
ga desire for sunshine and peace Il
stirring in all human hearts, the wal
continues because the battle cry Of
the enemy governments is still the
destruction of Germany. Blame 1ol
further bloodshed falls only on ON
enemies"
ne Richmond Times-DisDatch says
if this emanated from a parsonage
less CONSPICUOUS, it would be branded
as unadultcrated droll. If the aillc'
governments still seek the destruct'er
of Germany, as is alleged, they have
at least ceased to say so. Fremie:

cause he did nothing but send notes.
Mr.. Hughes needs the votes of both
classes. How could he satisfy one
class without alternating the other?
How could he denounce the Presi-
dent for interfering with Germany's
submarine campaign, and also de-
nounce the President for not doing
something that would have made
Germany stop it?
"Ah," said the subtle Charles Evans
Hughes, 81 have it! If I denounce
the sinking of the Lusitania I shall
ALLEVIATE the German-American Al
lance. If l don't denounce it, Mr..
Roosevelt, sitting in the box over
there, will not lead the applause for
me. l have it! / will denounce the
President for not preventing the,
sinking of the Lusitania. Everybody
is sorry the Lusitania was sunk. i
can escape saying anything about
Germany by combining my condem-
nation to the President. Everybody
whose vote / can hope for is against
the President. By condemning the
President for not preventing the sink
ing of the Lusitania I can get the
support of Theodore Roosevelt and
Henry Weissman."
And that is what Mr.. Hughes did.
An ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure in a political speech,
when the cure is regarded
by some Of the men whose votes the
seeks as poison. Mr..
Hughes carefully avoided the subma-
rine campaign and the steps the
President ought to have taken after
it's commencement, and stuck to the
safe course of denouncing the Presi-
dent for not preventing the sink
ing of the Lusitania.
He was very cunning, but he did ,
not meet the issue, and he will i'm
pose on very few voters. Why should
any Democrat with German antece-
dents OF sympathies vote for Mr..
Hughes? He says the President ought
to have done something does
not indicate what-that would have
deferred the German Government
from it's submarine campaign. To the !
German sympathizers is this any
less Objectionable than the notes Of
protest which the President caused to
he sent to Berlin? What is the use
of furnishing Mr.. Wilson by clectirg
4 man who is either practicing de-
ception and evasion, or who would
nave done even more than Mr.. Will
son did?
Dr.. Hexamcr and Mr.. Roosevelt |
wish precisely opposite things. Mr..
Hughes is trying to get the support
Of both. That is enough to discredit
a mans intellectual honesty. Mr..
Hughes is trying Compose on one
side or the other. He is trying to
condemn Mr.. Wilson for the salts
faction of the German-American AL !
lance, and to intimate that he would
do even more, in order to please the
voters represented by Mr.. -Roosc-
welt. Any Democrat with German
sympathies can see that he would

the fire to substitute Mr.. Hughes for
Mr.. Wilson.
