Are Faithful
TO IRELAND

New York, Oct. 31.-The prediction
made to the Irish Press and News
Service by it's Melbourne correspond
ent to the effect that the Irish men
and women of the Australian states
would materially help to defeat Pre-
mier Hughes in his plan for universal
conscription has been verified by the
result of the referendum. The women
and the Irish, who are numerous in
Australia, outvoted the English resi-
dents to the great surprise of the Brit
ish Cabinet, as Premier Hughes stated
in Dublin, after his triumphal tour in
England, that Australia would blaze
the way for Ireland in enforcing army
service on all available men. With a
million more men from Ireland and
the Australian states the war would
not only be won but greatly short
ened. Premier Hughes returned to
Australia and for six weeks has been
conducting "a patriotic campaign to
save the Empire" and all the reports
from overseas, outside of Irish reports,
indicated an overwhelming victory for
the conscription policy and the as
sembling of a great new army Of An
zacs, who are admittedly among the
best hardy fighters in the British
army.
The Irish labor leaders and societies
and press openly began the severe at
tacks on Hughes with the result that
conscription has been defeated by
some 100000 votes out of a total of
1,400,00O cast. The execution of the
Irish rebel prisoners had disastrous
effect on Australian Irish. and labor
sentiment and undoubtedly held the
balance of power in the election. AS
the population of Australia is only
about the same as Ireland (4,30O,000)
the tremendous vote of 100000 men
and women shows the intense interest
aroused in the campaign. The result
is bound to act as deterrent on the
conscription agitators in Ireland,
where the Australian referendum was
being watched with the deepest
anxiety. Australia has furnished three
times as many soldiers as Ireland, but
recruiting has fallen off heavily in
New South Wales, Victoria, Queens.

success in the referendum, which had
the support of the government and the
principal newspapers, that the De.
partment of Defense began to draft
the single men to prepare them for
the oversee trip. He had pledged the
War Department at least 10000 men
per month. The best he has been able
to do in any one month has beer
10000. His stirring appeal to the
mothers of Australia failed because sc
very many Of their sons have been
killed, wounded or captured on the
various fronts. The Anzacs suffered
10000 casualties alone in the disas

CATHOLIC HERO HoNoRED.

statue to one OF the famous Catholic
generals of the Civil war-Gen. Philip

commanding site in Capitol Hill park.
In connection with the dedication a

" WHO WINS?
(From the Brooklyn Tablet }


P. T. Barnum is dead, and his fame
rests upon the fact that he is regard

try ever produced. "The people like to

right. Working on his belief, he Or

three rings, clowns, acrobats, chariot
races, fat women and thin men, snake
charmers, white elephants, and so
forth. Barnum was great Snowman,
but his fame is dimmed. Another has
arisen to occupy the Supreme Fakir's
pedestal.
Place the laurels on the brow of ex-
priest Slattery and his wife, DR.. Mary
E. Slattery, "ex-nun." They are now
on a tour of the United States, as
usual, gathering unto themselves the
coin for which dupes have no use, and
which they are willing to hand over
to the Slatterys to learn all about the
mysteries Of "Romanism." But doesn't
that sound suspiciously like Old Stuff ?
1t is Old Stuff. They've been doing it
for years. They've been in the Brook
lyn diocese; they've been in Jersey;
they've fitted merrily here and there
and now their amazing disclosures
are, verify; Old Stuff. So, now they
have something new. And this is why
Barnum's fame has faded.
When Barnum showed his white ele-
phant, did he have brains enough to
display the pachyderm beside red,
white and blue prairie dog? Did he
ever arrange debate on woman suf.
rate between parrot and chatter.
ing chimpanzee? No, never! Let him
be forgotten then, as popular acclaim
greets ex-priest slattery and his" "ex
nun" wife, who "never was none."
Last week in Cleveland, Ohio, they
staged their latest production. It was
"a debate" between DR.. Mary E. Slat
terry and Miss Grace Hazelwood (not
Hazelnut) Nelson, who was described
on handbills as noted Roman Catho
lie lady," The questions under discus
sion were: Convent life, the Confes
sional, and the public schools. Miss
Nelson was expected to prove that DR.
Slattery misrepresents the Catholic
Church. DR.. Slattery expected to prove
that she does not, and, said the hand
bill: "The people of Cleveland can
not afford to miss this unique occasion
HEAR BOTH SIDES"
The debate was held. DR.. Slattery
of course, made a fool of her "oppon
ent." She proved everything and Miss
Nelson had to retire in dismay-tt
divide the proceeds with the Slatterys
They are in some other town now
staging the same stunt.
Investigation developed that thu
Slatterys had taken up Miss Nelson
as partner and that she is travelling
around with them and challenging
Mrs. Slattery to debate, and, of course
being badly beaten in every debate

five cents, but with zone born ever,

should enforced military service be
enforced. The hardy fishermen bring
the news from both sides.
They are quite neutral, as anxious
to get money for protecting the hiding
places of German submarines as any
others and many are the wild stories
you hear of their exploits. You hear
the Gaelic tongue among the islands
where hard times has forced many of
the islanders on English ships. Nearly
a hundred Donegal sailors lost their
lives in the Jutland naval battle. The
sentiment is almost entirely National
ist. The young men have taken up the
Sim Fein movement and emblems and
pictures of the Dublin rebels are found
in every cabin. The executions of the
war prisoners have lost to England
what sympathy existed for her among
the Donegal peasants and there is no
doubt but the young men here would
join in revolution if they possessed
arms. All boats are watched and care
fully examined for arms since the Ger
man ships were detected in April
bringing arms into Ireland for the reb-
els at Fralee, which is on this coast,
but 100 miles from here think there
will be no conscription for Ireland
this winter but a great recruiting drive
will be under way by January when
the cold and hunger and army subsis-
tence for families may force some
men into the army. Since the April
rebellion scarcely 5000 soldiers have
been recruited in all ireland and of
these $500 are said to have come
from Ulster, chiefly at Belfast. This
is an Ulster county, but one-half of
Ulster is opposed to the British gov
ernment, which accounts for the large
army of occupation one sees all over
the Nationalist sections of Ireland.
From what l hear on all sides the

side of Belfast, if an election were or
dered. The last home rule fiasco, the
failure of the much-hated partition
plan, has caused much antagonism to
Mr.. Redmond. His sole political stock
depends on the general feeling that
but for his leadership Ireland would
not have been exempted from military
service and that one all-paramount
fear causes all other mistakes and
failures to be forgiven but not for
gotten.
The insurgent press along the west
coast has been suppressed and there
is dearth of reliable information as
to the progress of the war. The fisher
men have great news of wonderful
British naval victories which never
were fought. The Germans are starv
ing and losing the war at fearful
rate. Roumania and Greece are fight
