MANIFESTO TO
IRISH PEOPLE
They Are Called Upon to
Support Constitutional
Movement
ONLY WAY TO SUCCEED


London, May 1.-THE Irish parlia-
mentary party has issued q manifesto
to the people Of Ireland calling upon
them to support the constitutional
movement as the only one by which
their aspirations for self government
can possibly be realized.
"Another tragedy says the mani
festo, "has been added to the long
tale of Irish tragedies The capital
of Ireland has been the scene OF
mad and unsuccessful attempt at re-
volution. Blood has been shed freely
1t is true that Ireland has been bit
terly provoked by the growth of
similar revolutionary and illegal
movement in another part of Ire
land, backed by an army in revolt.
1t is true that the grave responsible
ty for these events in Dublin rests
upon the leaders Of that movement.
These things will have to be discuss
ed at the proper time.
at is true that Ireland has been
shocked and Mortified by a series OF
military executions by the military
tribunals in Dublin. These things
have been done in the face of inces-
SAINT and vehement protests of the
Irish leaders. and these protests will
be pressed continually and strongly
until the unchecked control OF the
military authorities in Ireland is 'abe
olished. But it is also true that, IN
spite of bitter provocations. the peo-
pie of Ireland have had no hesitation
in condemning the rising in Dublin as
a dangerous blow at the heart and
hopes of Ireland. /
"On the morrow of this tragedy we
feel called upon to make solemn ap-
peal to the people of Ireland t. draw
the conclusions which these events
force upon them. We must leave no
misunderstanding in our minds as
to our convictions and our resolves
Either Ireland is to be given over to
unsuccessful revolution and anarchy,
or the constitutional government IS
to have the full support Of the Irish
people and 60 on until it has com
pleted its work"

GLAss.yAMEs CONTEST.
Entry Of Danville Publisher EreaS'
up Plans.

Washington. D. C. May 10.
Rorer A. James of Danvilie, oy
entering the contest against Con-
pressman Carter Glass, for national
committeeman from Virginia to sue
ceed Lieutenant Governor ). Iay-
lor Ellyson, has spoiled the stage that
was all set for the elimination OF the
line of demarkation between the ma
chinen and "anti-machine" forces as
thew have been termed in Virginia
politics.
The entrance of James into the
contest, however, has not detracted
from the warm feeling of friendship
that has been growing between the
two factions in the Virginia delega-
tion in Washington for the past two
wears and which reached its zenith
with the promises of support made
by the organization members to MI.
Glass, but unless James withdraws
the Democratic convention at Roam
oke on June I'd is sure to be marked
by some unpleasantries between the
two factions over the election of a
national committeeman.
The hats of both Glass and JAM
es are squarely in the center Of the
ring and the contest is now under
way, as both have declared within the
past few days, that they have no
intention of withdrawing.
The promise of support made to
Mr.. Glass by the Virginia congress
sional delegation was in the nature of
an overture from the organization to
the anti-organization for greater har-
mony in the delegation and to pre-
vent the cropping up Of anything like
discord in the Roanoke convention.
There has always existed the very
warmest of personal feeling between
Mr.. Glass and all the members of
the so-called machine" faction in
Congress, although on one occasion
there were differences of opinion re-
garding Virginia politics.
As a token of their personal es-
TEEN and in recognition of his good
services for the Democratic party in
Congress, Senator Martin and Con-
gressman Flood ana their friends de-
cided quite informally it would be a
nice thing to have Glass succeed Ell
Tyson.
Congressman Carlin has made nc
promises to either and will keep
hands off.

RITUAL GOES TO BISHOPS.
Action of NJ. E. General Conference
Virtually Assures Revision.

Saratoga Springs, n. Y, May H..
A revised ritual for the Methodist
Episcopal Church was virtually as
sured yesterday when the Methodist
General Conference by an overwhelin-
inc vote. referred to the Board OF
Bishops the report of the. commission
on revision of ritual. The bishops
were authorized by the conference to
accept or reject the report, or to
make changes they considered deslr-
able.
This action came as surprise TO
nearly all of the delegates. After
prolonged debate over the phraseol-
ogy of the prayers employed IN the
baptism of children, John I. Stone
a lay delegate Of Baltimore, Nd
moved to refer the entire matter OF
revision to the Board of Bishops.
This motion was finally adopted.
It is understood the bishops are
virtually unanimous in their desire
for revision, and any changes made
in the committees report Will be OF
minor Importance.
Governor Charles S. Whitman, in
an address to the conference, made
plea for preparedness for peace as
well as war.
Il WELD to no man iii my love of
peace" he said, "but stand against
the proposition that no price is TOO
great to pay for peace. Nor do i he'
lieve that Christianity itself is COM
mitted to any dogma of pacihcism
Christianity is fighting faith.
'T believe. the United States should
address itself, to the task of an ade-
quate national defense against armed
invasion or unbearable insult

Out in Chicago.

Chicago, May 11-Thousands OF
men were added Tuesday to the list
of those on strike here.
Six hundred cutters of the Amalga
mated Garment Workers quit, throw
ing the trade into confusion. Three
thousand employees Of local tanneries
walked out. They demand an increase
of As per cent. in wages, having de-
clined compromise offer of 30 per
cent.
Five hundred employees of the Chi
cago Screw Company demanded high
er wages and shorter hours and 300
employees of the Peter Schuettler
Wagon Company struck for the same
reason.
The strike of the employees of the
international Harvester Company
continued. Five hundred employees
returned to work, but walked out
again when demands of their commit
tees were refused. The demands in
cluded the closed shop, which was
promptly refused.
The strike of the cutters, it is said
will throw several Thousand other
garment workers out of employment
even if they are not called out. Lo
cal union leaders received authorize
ton to call out all garment worker:
in the city, said to number 10000
The latter allege that promises O.
better shop conditions, shorter hours
and other reforms alleged to hav'
been made after the strike of las

hand, the manufacturers assert tha

! SUBSTITUTE FOR GASOLINE
Inventor Receives Two Million Dol
lars for His Secret.

New York, May 11.-Louis En-
RIGHT has sold the secret formula Of
his penny and half gallon substl-
tue for gasoline for $2,G00,00O.
Enricht's neighbors in the little
village Of Farmingdale, down on Long
Island, thought Enricht dreaming
when he claimed he could operate an
automobile with mysterious green
liquid he invented.
But the Maxim Munition Company
figured the formula so good it has
agreed to pay $1,000,00O in cash and
$1,00O,OOO in stock to the inventor.
The process of manufacture, ac-
cording to Enricht, is very simple,
Four ounces of strange chemical
mixture, green in color. is stirred in
to five gallons of water. The solution
goes into the autos tank and the
auto runs just as it would if fed with
gasoline.
Henry Ford visited the inventor.
who is seventy, and he came away
convinced that Ernicht's discovery
was genuine, it is said.
The cost of manufacturing the
liquid is about one and one-half cents
per gallon.
Here is as much of an explanation
of his invention as Enricht is willing
to make: The addition Of his green
mystery" to the water in the "gas"
tank of an auto releases the hydrogen
gas in the water The hydrogen pass
es into the carburetor, where it comes
into contact with the nitrogen of the
air, taken into the engine through
the air intake pipe The explosive en-
ergy to drive the engine is the result
of this combination.
Just after he announced his dis
covery Enricht stopped making his
fluid because he said, he didn't dare
60 to drug stores to uy ingredients.
Cant go anywhere without being
followed by detectives working for the
oil companies" said Enricht.
Maxim company officials say they
will produce substitute that will be
used by every auto owner and knock
the bottom out of the high price. OF

OLD PoHICK CHURCH
Completion of the Restoration oi
Church Building Assured

Miss Amy Townshend, vice regent
of the Mount Vernon Ladies Asso-
citation of the Union, from New York
met the vestry of Pohick Church at
the church yesterday afternoon at
five o'clock to lay before them plan
for the completion of the restoration
of the church. Much of this was &C
complished in the best workmanship,
following the original plans of the
church, as found in the old vestry
book preserved at Mount Vernon,
during the rectorship Of the late DR..
Meade, and under the supervision OF
the eminent colonial, architect, Mr.
Glenn Brown. It is understood that
the rest of the pews, four in number,
and possibly the three doors will be
restored shortly, so the funds Tor
doing this are already provided for.
Mrs. Townshend stated it was her
desire to complete the work of re-
storation by having the present win
dows taken out, and replaced by
others of colonial design. and the
original stone tiling is to be laid on
the present concrete flooring OF the
aisles. 1t is also intended to enclose
the churchyard, comprising the orr
einal two acre plot, with brick
wall as ordered at the time of build,
| ing the church.
In addition, to this in accordance
with modern ideas the church is to DE
heated from a furnace placed in a
brick building on the outside, the
heat to be conducted to the church
by a pipe laid underground, so that
all danger from fire may be reduced
to a minimum. The grounds are to
be put in the best order and render,
ed as attractive as possible. Mrs
Townshend said she was strongly
conservative, and under Mr.. Glenn
Browns architectural supervision
everything would be done in strict
accord with the original plans, which
were happily preserved in the ole
vestry book.
The vestry passed resolution ap
proving most cordially the plans o1
restoration and improvement brought
before them by Mrs. Townshend, ant
accorded her hearty vote OF thanks
for her generous interest in the com
plete restoration of the old historic
church, so intimately associated witt
Washington and Mount Vernon
Miss Townshend stated that the worI
could be accomplished at once
it would take some time to carry ou
all the arrangements. The Rev. DR.
{ S. a. Wallis and Mr.. Melllchamp
were both present at the meeting.

PROPOSAL FOR

Gen. obregon Expects to
Submit Plan to Gen.

WILL BE IN WRITING
Last Hope of Carranzistas to Gain
Their Demands Which Caused the
Deadlock.

Carranza has submitted two propo-
sitions to the United States with the
object of averting war between the
two countries.
In the event neither is accepted by
this government, he proposes arbi-
tration of the differences.
Gen. Carranza's propositions are:
First, that definite time be fixed
by the United States for the with
drawal of the punitive expedition
from Mexico.
Second, that new treaty between
the United States and Mexico, de-
fining the rights of each in the ter
ritory of the other, be negotiated i'm
mediately.
Columbus, N. NJ, May 11-En-
trenchments were thrown around the
military reservation here yesterday
machine guns and other armament
were prepared for service, and a
motor train Of As trucks, many of
which carried only troops, was sent
to the front.
Soldiers of the garrison were for
bidden to leave the municipal limits
after dusk and guards were main
tanned over the store depots, while
civilians having no business on the
streets were urged to remain in
their homes, although there were re-
peated assurances from military au-
thorities that no reports from the
field or elsewhere warranted any
alarm.
A camp site was chosen today for
the New Mexico guardsmen, and it
is expected that they will arrive for
mobilization as soon as they can OBJ
tain sufficient rolling stock.
Neither Lieut.. o. L. Bruncell, of
Salt Lake City, mastering officer,
nor other military authorities here
has been informed as to the DISPOSE
tion to be made of the militiamen
other than that they are to assist in
BORDER patrol. The trenches began
yesterday will encircle the base camp.
They have been dug in squad lengths
in zig-zag shape to prevent enfiiading
fire. 1t was explained that orders
were issued recently to entrench
every camp along the American line
of communication
Ordinances, supplies, equipment
clothing and rations have been collect
ed here ready for trans-shipment in
to the interior as soon as trucks are
available, all of the 10 trains now il
operation being in the field.
Ell Paso, May 11.-Gen. Obregor
today expects to submit to Gen. Scott
in writing his proposal for co-opera
tive border patrol, involving with
draWal OF the American eXpedltlor
from Mexico.
The plan is the last hope of th'
Carranzistas to gain their insisten
demands, which to date have dead
locked the conference.
As the proposal involves a ques
tion which Gen. Scott is powerless t.
decide-the expeditions withdrawal
/, there is possibility of the entire nego
, tiations being switched to Washing
ton for adjustment by the State De
partment.
Despite the increased tension alon

DEFINES
TRUE RELIGION
Rev. J. L. Gardiner Says 1t is
the Serving of
Mankind.

Practical Religion" was the theme
discussed last night at the St Paurs
Methodist Episcopal church before a
large audience by Rev. James L.
Gardiner, d. d.
Men are not losing their interest
in religion" said DR. Gardiner. 1T
may be that they are losing their
interest in the accidentals OF the
nOn-essentials OF religion: but they
are not losing interest in a vital.
practical religion such as that pre-
scented by the words and life OF
Jesus Christ.
II is true that men today care
little for a religion that consists in
mere form or ceremony. 1t is true
they are not interested in a religion
that is purely dOgmatical or that
consists in emotion only But men
have always been and will always
be interested in religion OF being
and dOing-Of character and service
James the apostle says that Pure
and undehled religion before God
the Father is this 70 visit the
fatherless and the widows in their
affliction and TO keep oneself I'M
spotted from the world.
Defines Religious Man.
The religious man is not then the
man who lives the life OF a monk
He is not the man who withdraws
himself from the world. He is the
one who lives in the world but who
is not OF IL. He is the one who. like
Jesus Cnrist. draws near the sinner.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1916-03-06

but who does not allow sin 10 blast
and ruin his life. He is one who.
though in the world OF men, keeps
himself unspotted from the sin Of
the world
But that is not all. The religious
man is one who visits the father-
less and the widow in their afflic-
ton In other words, he is the
one who serves. He is the one whose
religion consists in deeds as we'll as
purity OF character.
Il am glad TO say that during the
past few years the Christian church
has laid more emphasis than ever
before uopn the necessity Of service.
Think today OF what the Christian
church is doing toward ministering
20 the needs of the human race
Think of what she is doing toward
alleviating human suffering and sor-
row everywhere.
