MANUFACTURED FEAR.

There is no land where the ter
ror of persecution has such real
meaning for the inhabitants as
Ireland. They have been sub
jected to it for seven hundred
years. The British government
now seeks to capitalize the fear
by disgusting propaganda Of
falsehoods and it is safe to say
that the wholesale scale of lying
about Germany and its people i'll
Ireland has never been approach
ed in any country. The merits Of
England's case cannot be argued.
There are government agencies
seeking to inhame the people
through false reports, the truth
of which have been exploded
elsewhere, but because ireland
can gain no news except through
English censorship, the false
hoods prosper. "Huns" and "bar-
barians" are the popular terms
applied to the Germans. Catho-
lies here in America have a chance
to know through reliable sources
of information the conditions of
co-religionists in Mexico. Aft
davits have been furnished to sub

PERSONAL WAR.

The United States engaged in
personal war against Huerta
and is now engaged in a personal
war against Villa. Made in
America ammunition is plentiful
'ly supplied to the elusive Villa
and his followers. The admins
tration was watchfully waiting
while American shipments OF
muniti ons accumulated in
troubled Mexico. Explanations
OF how it all happened are poor
comfort to those who have suf-
fered because of lack of civil au-
thority in Mexico. Small conso-
lation it will be to those who
mourn for sacrificed ones to learn
that the ammunition used to
snuff out the lives of those who
may fall in engagements against
Villa was the product of Ameri-
can munition factories.
Carranza was a former friend
and supporter of Villa and is in
every sense as guilty. The adj
ministration advised the public
that there was no record of Car
ranza's crimes in the files of the
state department. The presidents
secretary by this announcement
tried to give Carranza a clean
bill of health. The public is
aware of American responsibility
in the Mexican trouble. What a
happy solution of the whole
question it would be if the pres
ent attempt to get rid of Villa
would also result in the elimina-
ton of Carranza.
Confscated churches, destroyed
converts, places of worship
turned to profane uses, de6led
sisters and banished priests is all
the evidence either bandit has to
offer in making claim for leader
ship in Mexico.

SPEAKING IRISH A CRIME

They are hanging men and

green" In this cultured and en-
lightened age a reference to tho
above lines seems to convey the
meaning that their truth por-
trayed a condition that existed
centuries ago, but it is far from
being the case, because as the
wearing of the green was forbid
den in Ireland in years that have
passed, so is the Irish language
forbidden at present. A fine of
four pounds, with one pound for
cost, making a total of five
pounds or approximately twenty
FIVE dollars was the penalty i'm
posed on Claude Chevasse for
speaking the Irish language in

of the Realm Act" 1T is sedi-
tious and prejudicial to the safety
of the British empire to speak
Irish in Ireland" The defendant
is a nephew of the Protestant
Bishop of Limerick and is also a

stantiate the facts. How differ
ent in Ireland. The most dis
gushing details OF atrocities have
been poured into the ears of the
Irish populace by those who seek
to foster recruiting; details con-
corning the treatment of Catho-
lies at the hands OF the Germans,
who are called Huns and barba-
rians. That the Irish people may
not know the facts every avenue
of information is closed and the
most rigid censorship is estab-
lished. Imagine how Ireland has
been misled. Imagine man of
MIR. Redmond's supposed stand
ing, telling a mixed audience of
the dissertation of every virtue
and the destruction of every con-
vent by German soldiers because
the sight of all things Catholic is
evil to the German eye. Try to
reconcile, if you can, this state
ment of the so-called leader of the
Irish party with the fact that Ger
many has as an ally, Austria, the
strongest supporter of the Papacy
in Europe. This sort Of lying
may yield recruits temporarily,
but even if the figures given by
'take-pay" O'Connor and Red
mond were true, where do these
gentlemen get an audience as
they move about through Ireland
seeking recruits for the British
army? One New York paper fav-
orable to Redmond quoted a
speech made by him at a recruit
ing meeting. The tactics he used
and the language OF which he was
i
guilty in reciting the so-called at
rocities of the Huns and barbar-
ians was nauseating. Truth from
the standpoint OF Germany does
not exist in Ireland. 1t cannot be
given to the people. All letters
reaching the office of the Irish
Standard from Irish sources are
opened by the censor, and it is
only by letters which have been
taken out on the person of trav-
elers, or information coming
through sources not detected by
the government that any real in
formation concerning Ireland
reaches the public. The Course of
Cromwell" has never been lifted
from the British government or
her agents.

that control every interest which in

her dominance or threatened her con-

Success in those other fights meant

her world Empire would come tum-

that she herself would at one blow be
reduced to the relative weakness Of
Holland and Spain. With free and
hostile Ireland, vain for her would be
