BISHOP DONAHUR
TO THEO. E. BURTON
CLERGY PAYS DISTINGUISHED
GUEST TRIBUTE AT
DINNER.
Loud Applause Greets Mention OF
Orleans Name as President Of
United States.

In opening his address at the
America First dinner OF the Board
of Trade last evening Rt. Rev. Bishop
T. J. Donahue. OF Wheeling diocese.
paid a tribute 10 Senator Burton. as
follows:
While listening to u distinguished
guest, there was brought Q my mind
the old saying OF the poet: some peo-
are born great. others achieve great
ness, and others have greatness thrust
upon them Then. again. am re-
minded Of the parody used years ago
in Washington. That some people
are born great. others achieve great
ness and tome are born-in Ohio 1
am reminded that about that same
time the president OF the United
states was from Ohio. the chief JUS
tice was from Ohio. and Secretary OF
State John sherman and two or three
members OF the supreme court were
from Ohio. In fact. the prominence
of Ohio was so outstanding that we
used 10 term the executive the Presi-
dent OF the United States and Ohio.
Il had a further thought. that I'M
restrained and broad speech. so abund-
ant in moderation. balance and good
ense. ] thought TO myself. that IL
the next president OF the United States
would be from Ohio. what II his name
should be Theodore f.. Burton. l wish
him Gods speed I'm all his career.
Thunderous and prolonged applause
was given when Bishop Donahue men
toned the name OF Senator Burton IN
this connection.

BLOCKADE
CAME TO LATE

STOCKHOLM. Feb. %. (Corre-
s~pondence OF the Associated Press.)-
The British blockade Of Germany has
failed because il came too late, ac-
cording to the Swedish press and
Swedish business men.
As far as Sweden and the other
Scandinavian countries are concern
ed the blockade only became really
effective last April. For eight months
prior TO That time. or since the start
OF the war. the Germans. %anticipat-
ing England's tactics, were purchas-
ing quantities OF military supplies. es-
pecially copper. cotton, anthony and
tin. through Sweden. Denmark and
Norway. Importers here are con-
visced that by the time the block
AIDE was perfected Germany had
stored up such quantities OF these and
other war materials as 10 meet all
her needs for possibly two ears.
The claims made by the British gov-
eminent that great quantities Of war
materials have been smugrled into
Germany through Sweden are bitter
" resented by Swedish merchants.
These claims. which have been given
As a rason for placing all sorts Of re-
strictions on Swedish mercantile
trade. are based on statistics showing
great Increases in Sweden's impor-
tations from England and America.
The swedish merchants point out,
however. that prior 10 the war
Sweden was a heavy purchaser OF
German goods. The war has prac-
ticaliy paralyzcd this trade and the
country has had to turn to other mar

and the Scandinavian ports; and, at
the same time, have endeavored to
compel heavy American shippers, es.
pecially of packed meats, to do their
business with special corporation to
be created for that purpose under the
British Government.
From the beginning of the war
the British Government has put pres.
sure on the weak neighboring neutrals
to prohibit the export of military and
certain other goods from those coun-
tries to Germany. These so.called
"embargoes" have been exacted by
threats of shutting of their market
in Great Britain; and the purpose has
been to shut out exports of such goods
from the neutral countries of Holland
and Scandinavia to Germany.
The result of this limitation of neu-
trail trade has been that down to Sept
1 more than 14O vessels under neutral
flags are known to have been stopped
by the British; and since the so-called
blockade party" (that is, about eight
months of operation), more than 270
craft have been brought into the port
of Kirkwall for examination and many
of them have been seized.

CARDINAL GIBBONS DENoUNcEs
STATE PROHIBITION.


His Eminence, James Cardinal Glib
bons, strongly denounces state prohi-
bition in presenting the views on the
liquor question to delegation of rep
resentative business men of Baltimore
who called upon the Cardinal to ask
his view upon the statewide prohi-
bition bill now pending before the state
legislature in Maryland.
II am strongly opposed to any state
wide prohibition bill being passed by
the legislature, because I believe that
such a law is impossible of enforce
ment in a city the size of Baltimore
and its environs," said the Cardinal.
"Such being the case, a law Of this
kind interferes with personal liberty
and rights and creates hypocrisy in the
people.
The story of the world down to the
present time demonstrates the fact that
people always have and always will
indulge in the use of intoxicating IL
quors. Further, am opposed to the
passing of such law because it would
deprive the state of a large revenue
without accomplishing results, and that
too, at time when both the city and
state are very much in need Of the
revenue produced"
Cardinal Gibbons is an advocate Of
temperance. Whenever he assists in
confirmation exercises he always exacts
the pledge from the boys to abstain
from intoxicating liquor until they
become twenty-one years of age. His
Eminence has stated that he is a be-
lever in local option whenever ma
jority Of the citizens of any county
wish to put such law in force.

TRYING TO EvADE THE LAW OF
NEUTRAL BLOCKADE.

The British Government has made,
or attempted to make, great point
out of the supposition that it is only
laying down the same doctrine that
was laid down by the Supreme Court
of the United States during the civil
war, and it calls attention to the
doctrine of continuous voyages" as
set forth in prize cases of that time.
Neither the circumstances nor the doc.
trines are parallel. The United States
maintained an actual blockade outside
every port along thousands of miles
of coast and made scores of captures
Of blockade runners. That service
was maintained at great difficulty and
with great expense, but it was the
most potent single cause for the final
defeat of the Confederacy.
At the same time the United States
laid down rather stiff list of contra
band, and some vessels were captured
solely on the ground that they were
carrying contraband with an ultimate
destination to the Confederacy. In
some cases the vessels were carrying
contraband and were also bound to
blockaded ports, and when captured
they were condemned for one or the
other cause as seemed most conven-
lent. The real complication was that
in several instances, vessels bound
from one neutral port to another were
captured because either the vessel or
the cargo was supposed to be intended
for second voyage from that neutral
port to the Confederate coast.
Alongside this policy of pseudo
blockade. which Sir Edward Grey at
tempted to defend under principles of
international law in q later note Of
July %, 1915, the British have under
taken to stop American vessels and
American cargoes bound to Holland

England has succeeded in a

ing the impression that Ireland
as an island is nothing more than
a natural appendage to the phys

Jealous political attempt to force
this belief upon the world an all

ing erred in setting Ireland apart
with natural physical boundaries
of her own. To overcome the
effects of this separation the po-
litical energy of the English gov
eminent has been directed since
the persecution of Ireland was
first begun. 1t is not necessary
to discuss what artificial means
were used in order to produce the
anguish which Great Britain ad-
vertised was felt by Britain be-
cause of the plight of Belgium, a
country possessing no natural
boundaries and little more than
one-third the size OF ireland. The
