ToDAY's POEM
THE FIELDS O. BALhYCDARB.

I've known the Spring of England,
And oh, tits pleasant there
When all the buds are breaking,
And all the lands is fairI
But all the time the heart of me
The better, sweeter part Of me
Was sobbin' for the robin
In the fields O. BaIIycIare!
I've known the Spring in England
And, oh, it's EngIand's fairl
With Springttme in her beauty,
A queen beyond compare
But all the while the soul of me,
Beyond the por control OF me-
Was 'sighin' to be flynn
In the fields o. BallycIare.
I've known the Spring in England
And now L know it here;
This many a month I've 1onged foI
The op'nin' of the year.
But; ahi the Irish mind of me
II hope, it's not unkind to mel
Is turnin' back with yearnin'
In the fields o. BalIyclare!

SCHOOLGIRL NOT
FOR BEAUX
Dear Miss Libbey:-

Dear Miss Libbey:-
am a girl Of Is past, attend school;
entertain few youths. Do not let them
occupy my mind only treat them all
alike Do you think am too young
to bother much in that way? COM
p1ete eighth grade in country rural
school this year. Want to take up
some kind of business course next
year. What would you advise me to
take? Is my writing good? Thanks
for reply,
You are very wise in entertaining
only few youths while striving with
your studies, as you are SO young.
The right idea is to take up a good
business course. That you must de-
terrnine by talking over your capabili-
ties with teacher and parents. Your
writing is good. am sure you will
succeed in your chosen calling.

Washington, April Ex-senator Kern
democratic leader OF the senate, pre-
diets tnat congress, far from being able
to adjourn before the June convention,
will scarcely be through by September.
He declares there is no intention among
democratic leaders to abandon any leg
islation. All major matters will be
fought through to finish, he said.
This program is contradictory to one
which has generally been understood
to be favored by the president
The legislation which will take a
great deal of time, it is expected in
cludes:
The navy bill, all appropriation bills,
all the revenue bills, ship purchase
bill, rural credits, immigration, child
labor and other measures.
Prolonged fights, perhaps filibusters,
are practical -certainties in the ship
purchase and child labor bills.
Rural credits will be the next legis-
lation to be considered by the senate
A large amount of conservation leg
islation, including bills for water pow
err, mining and grazing lands still in
public domain, will also be considered
but probably not enacted into law be

A French aviator GOwned a German

Discovering the Zeppelin boring

Tittle News Pasgeg censor.

London, April 26.--Prompt and en-
ergetic steps to put down the Sinn Fem
in Dublin are being taken
by the government. The censor permits
ted tho United Press 10 cable this, al
though it was impossible TO send the de-
tails. Dublin is still cut off by tele-
graph. According to the best available
information the rebels hold the prInci-
pal part Of the city. 1t is believed
that serious fighting continues, al
though the revolt has not yet spread
elsewhere in Ireland.
The general postofflee is thought to
be still in possession Of the rebels. The
Daily Chronicle pointed out that OF
fieials did not claim the government
troops had recaptured an important
position the rebels seized, - and remark
ed that this omission suggests the riot
ers are still holding out.
Information from the scene of the
dis turbance is confined to official dis
patches. Newspapers generally took the
view that the rebellion was not a sur
prise. For weeks there have been rum
ors of an impending revolution, some
of these reports even fixing the date OF
the outbreak definitely as Easter.
"Ever since the Ulster volunteers set
up their deplorable example of open
lawlessness and armed defiance of the
crown, all Irish extremists have been
tempted to preach violence as the argu-
ment to which English rule must
listen, " said the London Chronicle.
"Less than a month ago the Ulster
volunteers perpetrated sensational act
of lawlessness at Breagh. A large d9-
tachment with rifles and ammunition
marched to the hall of the Hibernians
building and utterly demolished IT,,
then damaged the houses of local Ro-
man Catholics with a fusillade Of shots
with such proVocation in the north, the
armed strength of the Sim Feins in the
south must have grown easily"
The casualties to government sup
porters in the Dublin fighting was re-
ported as dozen killed and 20 wound
ed. The government did not announce
casualties suffered by the Sim Fein
factionists.

Mexicans May Cause

San Diego, Cal, April 26.-The North
Pacific liner Roanake, under charter by
the South Sea Steamship company, ar
rived in port today with word that,
upon the advice from the American
consul at Salina Cruz, Mexico, the shin
left that port without stopping to coal.
Captain Dickson of the Roanoke re-
ports that General Obregon has sent
notification to the commander of the
Mexican forces at Salina Cruz of the
trouble at Parral. Captain Dickson add
ed that, in the opinion of the American
consul at Salina Cruz, trouble between
the Americans and the Mexicans there
was brewing and that it would not be
safe for the Roanoke to put in
The Roanoke brought 40 American
refugees from Mazatlan, but, owing to
coal shortage, was not able to stop at
other ports, where refugees were anx-
ious to be taken out.
