OF COLUMBUS TO WALL.
DATE INSURANCE.

A decision to validate the insurance
of all present members of the knights
of Columbus who may now be fighting
for the United States in Mexico or
who may in future be enrolled in that
service was arrived at last week by
the board of directors of that organ
ization meeting in quarterly session
in Washington. Action similar to this
in regard to policy holders who re-
turned to their native European coun.
tries to take their places in the war
there was taken last October by the
board. In announcing the above &C.
tion it was stated that those in charge
believe it to be the first insurance
valuation by any insurance company
in respect to the punitive expedition
in Mexico.
The board, whicn represents the
100000 members of this great Cath.
olic organization, further voted that,
owing to the good condition of the
insurance funds at the present time,
they would drop the July assessment
this year. Since 1909 one assessment
each year has been dropped, and ii
was stated by the board that there
will be two such announcements this
year.

Will Ireland Keep Up Ancient Faith?
Irish Archbishop of Glasgow Discusses the Loss to

Irish Failed to Keep the Faith

1t is the Most Rev. DIR. Mcguire,
Archbishop Of Glasgow, himself an
Irishman, who puts the startling ques-
tion, will the Irish Keep the Faith?"
That it is startling no one can dispute,
for it suggests another question, which
is this: III the Irish failed to keep
the faith, what would the church in
the English.speaking world do?"
From them 1t has received most of its
strength. They have been its main
stay.
In modern as in ancient times they
have been great missionaries. II

''The Fair Hills of Holy lreland'
Nature Poem by Priest Author Fine Composition
in Modern Irisf-Interest of Irish Priest
in Modern Language Movement.

The author of this poem is the
Right Rev. R. M. Phelan, O.C., Lord
Abbot of Mount Melleray. It is a
poem in praise Of the Comeragh
Mountains, in his own native district
of the Decies, and follows the model
of Donnchadh Rua M'Namara's famous
poem, ban Chnuic Eireann Oighe"
("The Fair Hills of Holy 1reland'),
which is one of the finest compost
tions of its kind In modern Irish.
It contains loving description of the
Deisi country and people, and there
is also in it touch of the exile's long
ing for the homeland which was the
inspiration of the author Of Ban
Chnuic Eireann Oighe." The Lord
Abbot of Melleray is q fine Irish
speaker, as we'll as a literary man, and
sustains in a worthy manner, by voice
and pen, the tradition of learning Of
high ecclesiastics in the Irish tongue.
In the modern Irish period some OF

or bishops. And so it is today. Sew

Today for every 1rishman in Ire

liberty was cast aside while the plum
derers drove the Irish into the bogs
and mountain fastnesses. A price
was placed upon the heads of those
who dared oppose the plunderers who
yearned for the spoils. To read the
history of the terrible oppression in
Ireland when the blood of her sons
and daughters was shed for home and
liberty makes ones blood boil with
indignation. How terrible the crimes
that were perpetrated upon her de-
fenseless women and children. The
eyes glisten with the tears of sor-
row for Erins sons and daughters
during this dark page of her history.
The Irish people forgive those terri
BILE wrongs, but they never forget
them.
1t is hard to forget when a delib.

tion Of patriotic, God fearing people
from off the earth-for no cause, ex-
cept that they loved liberty. Can
they forget how laws were made to
drive every vestige of education and
religion out of the land so that their
posterity should be brought up in the
darkest ignorance and thus made easy
Of subjection? No, indeed.
Would they stand idly by and al.
low their civilization to be thus taken
from them? Would they permit their
posterity to be deprived Of centuries
of learning dating back almost to the
beginning of the Christian era? No;
never! Not while a drop of Irish
blood remained would they submit.
How proud they we're of the part
played by them as a race. Back in
the fifth and sixth centuries 1reland's g
missionaries had carried the work of
Christian civilization to the Continent
of Europe, especially among the Ger.
manic tribes, when continental Eu.

in pagan ignorance. Universities flour

Americans should be careful to
avoid pulling the chestnuts out of the
fire for other nations" declared His
Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, speaking
of the great European cataclysm which
is convulsing the nations of the Old
World. Though he declined to give
any public utterance on the Mexican
question, he expressed most earnestly
the hope for a speedy ending of the
great European struggle. Dwelling
upon the awful carnage, His Eminence
said:
Il can only indulge in the hope that
the Lord will bring this awful contest
to a speedy close"
The enormous war loan Of Germany
was brought to his attention as augur-
ing little prospect for this much-de-
sired end.
"Yes, that is true," he said, they
are going into the billions now, in
stead of the millions. My only hope
for speedy termination of the war.
however, rests in its violence. Vic.
lcnce such as this soon spends itself.
Violent storms are always brief ones.
Let us hope that it will be so in this
case"
do you think that America will be
brought into the European conflict"
he was asked. II trust not" His Emf
nence said. Il hope that every meas
ure will be taken to avoid such
terrible disaster, and that the men
at the head of our nation will take
every means to prevent other nations
from succeeding in embroiling the
United States in this conflict"
"The Holy Father was once reported
as saying that America might end the
war If she would. Do you think so,
Your Eminence," asked reporter.
"Did His Holiness say this?" the
Cardinal questioned in turn, with a
quizzical smile, evidently having his
doubts on the subject of purported
interviews with the Pope.
ut is true." he said, "that America
might have done much to shorten the
war by absolute neutrality in refusing
to sell ammunitions to any Of the bel
ligerents. That would have helped to
bring the war to close, but our big
ammunition manufacturers would not
have liked it so WE'LL"
On the Mexican question the Car
dinal desired not to be quoted. "That
matter now is out of our hands en-.
the subject, but do not care to talk
