TIER GREAT HOUR" IS PYOTOPLAY AT CEN 1 RAJ

A story out of the usual run will be shown at the Central Theatre to. day. when the Equitable's release Ol Her Great Hour is presented. Molly McIntry. as the persecuted shop girl Nan Perrine has a part which just fits talents, and in the complications which follow her unjust accusation in the department store where she is employed, up to the ending where her innocence of that charge, as well as of a graver one which follows il, is made clear, and she is made happy by the man who had first expressed confidence in her. she reveals naive and attractive personality which will endear her to screen lovers. The story is originally with the director, S. E. V. Taylor, and presents some new and striking developments alons lines which are out of the ordinary. The girl sacrifices herself twice tC save the man who had befriended her. and wins out in the end by sheer force of her native honesty and up rightness. From a Bowery dance hall to a home of wealth and refinement the story sweeps along, covering scenes at both ends of the social line. and developing heart interest which hold the attention of those who see it until the last flicker shows or the screen.

The editor of the Ticino Gazette, a
Swiss paper which has supported the
cause of the Allies since the beginning
of the war, recently went to Germany
to study the military and economic
conditions there. On his return to
Berne he writes:
"The French and English claim
that the favorable reports about the
German harvest were colored to de-
ceive the world are unfounded. have
convinced myself that the crops are
plentiful throughout the empire.
The wheat harvest will last at
least a year, and the quantity of bar
ley and oats on hand is larger than
after the harvest Of the first year Of
the war. The potato crop seems to be
below the average, but there is an
abundance of sugar beets and fodder
of all kinds for the cattle.
"As a result of the food harvest
the number of hogs has increased sew
eral millions since July, and the fat
and meat question steadily becomes
less acute. Eggs, like butter and all
other fats, still remain scarce, but
Bulgaria and Turkey are sending enor-
nous quantities..
"'The distribution of foodstuffs is
organized perfectly, and the missing
articles, like tea and coffee, have been
replaced by substitutes. Nobody com.

all wages have increased correspond,

German industry is in excellent
condition. Factories are working day
and night. There is plenty of coal
and iron, and the scarcity of nickel,
rubber and other articles is not felt
very much because German science
has found substitutes.
"The fact that the largest part of
the war expenses always flows back
into the pockets of the people has
created a favorable situation for Ger.
many. The empire is far better of
than the Allied countries, which have
to get much of their food supplies and
war materials from the neutral coun'
tries at an enormous cost. The war
has impoverished Europe. but Ger
many has suffered least in this respect
and will never break down economi
cally. ...
"In different theaters of war the
situation also remains favorable to the
Germans. Their lines in the east and
west are unbroken. and in their cam

Tenants Paying Their
Annuities PunctuaIIy

G. F. Stewart in the Dublin presi-
dental address last week at the Sur
veyors Institute said that owing to
the war land purchase in Ireland was
almost at a standstill.
He summarized the results of the
various land acts to the present day,
saying that from 1870 to 1896 $119,-
773,725 were advanced to purchase
73,SO9 holdings comprising 2,50S,973
acres. From 1903 to March 81, 1915,
44,299,81O were advanced to purchase
20s,139 holdings comprising 6,906,667
acres. ...
At present 1O2,618 holdings compris.
ing 3,237,4 acres, requiring purchase
money of approximately $12,650,000,
still remain to be dealt with.
The total agricultural acres in Ire
land are 1S,739,644, of which 1858, ,O3O,
nearly two-thirds, come under the OPP
Grafton of the land acts. The tenant
purchasers are paying their annuities
punctually. They are now the real
owners of the country.

Colonel Callahan denounced the

IRISH PRIEST IN ROME WROTE

There is much talk in Ireland re-
garding "Red Book" which has been
presented to the Pope and the Car
dinals by an Irish ecclesiastic in Rome
and which deals from really Nation
alist point of view with the recent
events in Dublin. The book is the
work of well-known Irish priest oc-
cupying an official position in the Holy
City and has been compiled from mate
rial obtained in Ireland.
1t lays particular stress on the man.
ner in which the British authorities
dealt with the recent insurrection, and
specially on the camps where Irish.
men are still interned in England,
without any trial, many of them in.
nocent Of any part in the rising. More.
over, Ireland resents the fact that she
has not been permitted to participate
in the general prosperity brought
about by the war industries, for, al.
though she applied for munition work
and had many idle hands which could
have been turned to it, the authori
ties decided no shells should be made
in Ireland.

claimed. Your city has changed from
its few huts of 1864 to it's present

United States, too, has changed in
size and industry along with it. And
the Church has changed and grown.
Where there was only one Jealous

millions of Catholics.
"Out yonder in your great West End

splendor.
That New Cathedral is the marvel

WAR ON IRISH LANGUAGE
GaeIic-Speaking Soldier Sentenced to
Seven Days Confinement for
Using His Native Tongue.

England's war on the Irish language
has once again been brought to light
by the harsh treatment visited on an
lrish-speaking soldier. A West of Ire
land recruit, who recently Joined the
Irish Guards, stationed at Caterham
Barracks, on being questioned while
on parade by Lieutenant Onslow,
failed to understand the question, and
naturally dropped into his native
tongue. The officer asked a sergeant
for an explanation, and being told that
the man was speaking Irish, the non
English speaker was placed in the
guard room, and subsequently SEN
fenced to seven days confinement in
the barracks. This high-handed pro.
ceeding on the part of the military Off
Ger reused indignation among the
Irish Guards, with the result that a
question was asked about it on Novem-
ber 8 in the House of Commons. Mr..
Forster, speaking for the Government,
made the perfunctory reply that the
result of the inquiry would in due time
be communicated to the House.
The harsh treatment meted out to
the Irish speaker will not help re-
cruiting in Ireland, nor will it add
strength to the pretensions that Eng
land is the champion of small nation
alities. The victim, however, will re-
ceive little sympathy from his own
people, as he ought to know enough
to keep out of the British army He
is traitor to his own race and he has
received the treatment that in all
times and places has been visited on
the renegade.

ENGLAND FAKINe AGAIN
NEW POLICY OF IRISH GOVERN.
MENT.

Loyal people in Ireland telegraphs
the Dublin correspondent of the
Morning Post" ARE gravely con-
cerned at the rumors which are being
persistently circulated that, with the
departure from Ireland of Gen. Sir
John Maxwell, new policy of govern
ment is to be inaugurated.
Martial law, the rumor says, is to
be withdrawn, and Immediately after
wards the rebellion prisoners at From
goch, in Wales, are to be released.
Such change of policy, in the opin-
ion Of law-abiding people, would be
tantamount to handing over the coun-
try to the elements of disorder and
terrorism.
with the added circumstances of
an unsettled police force in the Irish
capital, the removal of martial law
and the liberation of the Fongoch pris-
oners, Ireland, in the opinion of many
people not confined to any side in
politics, would become center of tur.
moil and agitation and secret plotting.
The intriguing which, according to re.
port, goes on daily at Frongoch, would
be transferred to this country and car.
ried into every village by those who
were liberated.
ut is, rightly or wrongly, believed
here" adds the correspondent, that
the meeting of the Nationalist leaders
with Mr.. Asquith and Mr.. Duke on
Friday had reference to the change O!
policy with which rumor is now busy
Premier's Handshake.
Commenting on the message of its
Dublin correspondent, the Morning
Post" says: I'VE can only suppose
that after an interval for reflection
the government have come to the con
clusion that their Irish policy, as con
Quoted by Mr.. Birrell, and as contem
plated from the majestic seclusion OF
Dublin Castle by Lord Wimborne, re
suited in armed rebellion and the
| massacre of English soldiers, and be
cause the chief secretary had conceded
too much to sedition, but because (i1
1t were possible) he had not conceded
enough.
Evidently, when the prime minister
shook hands with the rebel prisoners
his action was not SO much an accident
as symbolic. For although Mr.. Birrel
has departed merely because when the
catastrophe arrives someone must b.
sacrificed, and for choice person o.
no great political value, and although
Ireland is still under martial law sedi
tion continues merry and thriving"

"No light was thrown on Easements
real object in his trial, and when the
story came out of his interview with
Father Ryan most people were baffled
and perplexed by the whole business.
It seemed so impossible to believe in
an attitude of mind that would enable
a man to go through that terrible or
deal without mentioning fact which,
whatever the blame, in his conduct in
Germany may have been, was bound
to tell in his favor and save him, may
be, from a dreadful fate. Such, at
least, is the plea urged in his behalf by
his friends, and backed by substantial
evidence.
1t is stated that on April 6, Case
ment was in a nursing home in Ger
many, when he heard through a spys
report that there was going to be a
rising in Ireland. He went straight
to Berlin, where with great difficulty
he got submarine to take him to Ire
land. The submarine broke down off
Helgoland, and he had to wait for some
days to get another. His object in
going was to stop the rising, which
he considered a fatal mistake. The
captain of the second submarine did
not know Ireland, and landed him on
a part Of the coast where he knew no.
body, and where he was subsequently
arrested, as recorded at his trial.
Easement begged to be allowed to COM
municate with the leaders to try to
stop the rising, but was not allowed.
He succeeded, however, in confiding a
message through Father F. M. Ryan,
o. P. who testified as follows in a
letter to Mr.. Gavan-D Duffy, the solicitor
for the defense:
Roscrea, Co. Tipperary, July 12, 1916.
Dear Mr.. Gavan-Duffy: Sir Roger
Easement saw me in Tralee on April
21, and told me he had come to Ire
land to stop the rebellion then impend-
ing.
He asked me to conceal his iden-
tity, as we'll as his object in coming,
until he should have left Tralee, lest
any attempt should be made to rescue
him. On the other hand, he was very
anxious that should spread the news
broadcast after he had left.
Sincerely Yours,

England. People on this side of the

There had been suggestions all
summer that the crop situation in Ire
land was not what could be desired
Spring was cold and wet and the
planting season was late. In autumn
another long rainy spell set in, and
presently the much dreaded blight ap-
peared. For years past they have been
trying to overcome the adverse in
f1uences of weather conditions upon
the potato crop, and various devices
have been resorted to with the idea of
diminishing the losses. Certain varie-
ties have been found more resistant
than others, precautions in planting
and spraying have been found useful,
and different soils have been found to
give different results.
Failure Established.
The net result of the bad spring
weather was reduction in potato
area of $3.50 acres. Bad summer
weather resulted in small crop of
small potatoes. Bad autumn weather
resulted in blight, rot and failure to
save good part of the crop. In many
cases it was observed that after the
crop had been saved and the potatoes
had been stored in pits as usual, they
began to rot in the pits. "The crop
is already selling in the town of Mem
agh," says letter from that place

he wove into a fascinating story with
the eloquence for which he is noted
on both sides of the Atlantic.
Into his story Of the Old Cathedral
he occasionally breathed his own per-
sonal memories. He5was conscious of
preaching from the same altar where
he stood as a young priest more than
half a century ago, and at times the
large congregation sat spellbound by
the warmth of his personal emotions,
the beauty of his classic diction, the
vigor of his eloquence.
He spoke of the time when two
fiags-Spanish and French-waved
over the original Cathedral site, when
devout Catholics had built a rude
church after settling on the soil OF
st. Louis. He told Of the heroism OF
the two pioneer bishops, Du Bourg
and Rosati, how they sent Jealous mis-.
sionaries throughout the Mississippi
Valley.
"And so your great old Cathedral u
he said, was the Catholic creator and
inspirer of dioceses and churches
throughout the entire West"
When he came to the rule of Arch
bishop Peter Richard Kenrick. he was
at his best. A sense of personal at
tachment to 'the great Peter Richard
kenrick," as he repeatedly and rev
erently called him, was evident. He
would linger lovingly over the name
giving every syllable OF it peculiar
emphasis.

"and with what sacred reverence his

TO the Old Cathedral, he said, the
Pope contributed $4,000, and the peo
