asked to tea or to bridge at a definite

to see our friends we send out cards
carefully announcing the limited

be welcome, and woe to that uniniti-

LOVELY GREEN ISLE
Land of BeWitching Beauty Well
Worthy the Love of the
Great Apostle.

N HIS wanderings as a teacher ST.
l Patrick doubtless visited almost
every part of Ireland. It was on that
abrupt and picturesque elevation,
Mount Slemish, above the valley of the
Braid, in County Antrim, that the
heart of the captive boy experienced
it's great spiritual change, which, from
events following, may be considered to
have altered the entire history of Ire
land, and even to have transformed
the face of Christendom.
Similarly, ancient Tara, the old
abode of kings, situated about twenty
five miles from Dublin in County
Meath, is closely identified with st.
Patrick's name. There he went first
on his mission of conversion.
st. Patrick must have known init
mately the beautiful lakes of Killar-
ney in County Kerry, for in this neigh
borhood he sojourned seven years. On
an island in the lakes, then known in
the Irish language by the name Tough
Lene (the Lake of Learning), he es-
tablished church which in the sew
enth century grew into Innisfallen alb
hey.
This part of Ireland he loved espe-
cially. Then, as now, the soft be-
witching beauty of the scenery there
abouts was celebrated far and wide,
as the tenth wonder of Ireland. The
mountains surrounding the waters
were EMPOWERED in yew and evergreen
and oak and purple-leaved arbutus,
whose flowers hung in white rich clus-
ters. The noise of cascades falling
echoed and re-echoed when they
struck the waters of the lake.

HIS MEMORY DEAR
st. Patrick Ever Held in Honor in
the Land of Saints and
Scholars"

IRELAND is unique in, it's every
l phase. There is no other land like
it in it's naive charm. Ireland is land
by itself, with history Of it's own ex-
tending so far back as to be lost in
antiquity; with saints and kings and
masters" and bards so characteristic
ally Irish that they are not names
alone, as are the great of other lands,
but are as familiar to all her children
of all ages. Ireland, perhaps more
than any other country, has preserved
to the present day the evidence of her
rich and varied past in archaeological
treasures many and unique.
st. Patrick, the patron saint of Ire
land, though dead a thousand years, is
as real and close a personality of to-
days life to the Irish folk as if he
had but lately walked among them. It
is as dear st. Patrick" kind Pat
rick" mild Patrick" one listens to
him spoken of in ordinary speech. st.
Patrick's day services in Dublin are
attended by the great majority of the
city's population of all denominations,
for he is truly the beloved of all.

the site of the chapel erected in 448

REGAIN!NG PLACE
AS IDOL OF Poems
Villas .Audacity Wins Him SYM
pathy Among the Ignorant
MexiCanS.

Villas audacity in making such a
bold attack on American soil and his
escape from the small mounted forces
done much toward placing him back
on his pedestal as the popular idol OF
the poems and ignorant Mexicans.
The American invasion has given
him the argument that Carranza is in
league with the "gringos" and the dec
place the states of Chihuahua and
Sonora under American rule, after
the example of Texas and California.
In all public statements since the
Columbus massacre, Carranza has
carefully avoided reference to the
American invasion, of which he has
received both personal and official in
formation.
In Ell Paso, it is taken for granted
that the "gringo hate so carefully
cultivated in Mexico for the last sixty
years, is now so strong that Carranza
would lose all prestige if he recog-
nized an invasion by the despised men
of the North, whether that invasion
was under the name of punitive ex-
petition" or any other innocent ap-
pearing phrase.
1t is believed the general plan of in
vasion of Mexico under consideration
by the American forces is laid along
three avenues of entrance. According
to this theory, one United States col
umn will enter Mexico through Juarez
another from Douglas, Ariz., and
third will start from the ,blackened
ruins of Columbus.
The theory is based on the belief
that the war department has decided
to take measures by which it hopes to
throw a line of forces midway east
and west across the state of Chihua-
hua, thereby cutting Villa off from
further recruiting his forces in the
central part of the republic
With this line on the south the
Douglas column on the west and the
Juarez column on the east, it is be-
lieved Villa will be cornered in ~
the tips of which will touch the inter
national border line
Then by the closing of this Gordon
and the starting of the third expedi-
tionary force on straight sweep
south from Columbus, it is believed
that the bandit chieftain and his forces
will be surrounded and forced into a
decisive battle, instead of an endless
period of guerrilla warfare in the
hills.
The Gordon would further have the
effect of starving out Villa and his
followers and isolating them from all
communications with potential assist
ance in other parts of the republic.
The success of the plan is admitted
to depend largely upon the ability of
the American forces to overcome the
ever spreading Carranza opposition,
which is now being considered one of
the strongest factors in the campaign.
With the pitifully small forces avail
able at present, it is believed the
American forces will experience great
difficulty in covering the 10000 or
more square miles in the prescribed
area of the ~" and at the same time
protecting their lines of communica-
ton, both from the onslaughts of the
entrapped bandits and the hostile dis
position of the Carranzistas.
The last is a negligible quantity by
no means. Mexicans are Mexicans
first and Carranzistas second. AS Car
ranzistas they hate Villa, but as Mexi-
cans they solidly hate Americans.

ney's cottage, soon after one enters
Dunlow's gap, there is place which
in local tradition is the scene of an i'm
portant incident in st. Patrick's life.
For this is said to be the spot where
he commanded the snakes to leave
Ireland.
This distinction is claimed, however,
by many other Irish places. On the
western coast, for instance, there is a
mountain called Groagh Patrick,
where he is said to have gathered to-
gether the serpents and to have driven
them into the western ocean by beat
ing drum. This is but one Of the
many legends which still linger in the
minds of faithful Irishmen.

by st. Patrick, the elaborate service is
participated in by many hundreds of
people. The psalm for the day is the
twentieth, because, it is recalled, it
was chanted by st. Patrick and his
companions when they defied King

sung on that day is rendering of the
"Breastplate of st. Patrick" Here is

devotion to Christianity:
