Miss May Fetherston, a little girl
Of some sixteen summers, is the lat
est Irish songster to captivate the
song lovers of America. Critics who
heard her sing "My Killarney Rose''
and other beautiful Irish songs at q
theatre in Boston few days ago,
agree that she has wonderful voice
which will Undoubtedly make her q
great favorite on the concert stage.
Miss Fetherston, who has been in this
country but few weeks, is a native
Of Mullingar, Ireland. and studied mu-
sic under the tuition of the nuns and
later became a pupil Of Vincent
O'Brien, who taught John McCor-
mack.

VENGEANCE AND JUSTICE.
(From st. Louis Globe-Democrat.)

The summary execution of leaders
OF the Irish revolt, under sentence OF
a court-martial, can make no appeal
to the moral sense of mankind. It is
more from the moral than the mate
rial point of view, that, for the mo
ment, this ruthless exercise of power
can be considered. Casuists and con.
troversialists Of all sorts may, and
will, wrangle over degrees and shades
OF difference between such military
acts and other military acts charged
against Germans in Belgium. Techni.
cally the shooting of Edith Cavell, the
English nurse. was in due form and
under martial law, but it revolted the
moral sense none the less for that rea-
con. Technically the executions of
the Irish patriots, after summary trial
by q court-martial, are in due form and
order, but they shock the moral sense
notwithstanding.

Business Mans Estimate of Culture.

There are still men whom the bust
ness world and scientific efficiency
have not warped and who see In cul-
tural education-even in the study Of
ancient classics-an opportunity to
broaden ones vision, quicken ones
perception of the real values of life,
and accumulate against dark and
stormy days resources that will enable
the pilot with clear eye and steady
hand to bring this human craft safe to
port. To such history had it's lessons,
literature its inspiration; and these
can best be secured by an earnest ef-
fort at mastery, not by trusting to the
shifting and unstable interests" Of
youth or the uncertain and even more
unreliable selections Of the modern
pedagogical expert" And, curiously,
some Of these misguided souls are just
foolish enough to believe that possibly
possibly their sons will be bit big
ger and better business men and en-
gineers and men of affairs because
they will have built upon this broader
foundation.-Alfred e. Stearns, In the

Despite the artillery, despite the ma

fire, the apparently ineXhaustible regi-
ments Of Russians swept on over the
dead, over the barbed-wire barriers be-
fore the German line, over the first
trenches and routed the German sol
diers, who were half frozen in the mud
of their shattered shelters. A terrific
hand-tO-hand conflict followed. Hand
grenades tore down scores Of defend
ers and assailants alike. The men
fought like maniacs with spades, bay
onets, knives and clubbed guns.
Within 100 Feet of Victory.
But the Russians won at a fearful
price for so slight a gain 1t might
have been worth more had the Rus
sian deluge swept farther but it did
not. The Russians stopped within a

been lack of discipline, lack Of officers
or lack Of reserves; no one knows.
The Russians seemed helpless in
the German trench; instead of sweep
ing on into the second lines they tried
to intrench themselves in the wrecked
German first line Immediately Ger
man artillery hurled shells of the
heaviest caliber into these lines, and
tore them into fragments.
Then came the German reserves, and
by nightfall the Russians had again

Attack Without Drum Fire.

On the eighth day reports reached
the German lines that the Russians In
tended to make a surprise attack that
night without any drum fire. The Ger
man artillery therefore shelled the
Russian woods at a terrific rate at
hourly intervals through the night, All
the troops remained on duty without
minute Of sleep, but no Russians
came. The next day was quiet.
That night again II was feared there
might be a surprise attack and so
again the German artillery shelled the
Russian lines until morning. But there
was no attack until the following noon,
when, without any artillery prepara-
ton, the Russian onslaught was re-
peated. A German officer told me the
story of that attack He said that If
he had not seen it himself he would
never have believed II possible that
an attack would come out of the Rus
sian woods, where the lines were al
most / 100 yards apart.
Suddenly without any warning, a
mud-colored wave began to pour forth
from the forest. 1t was line of Rus
slams three ranks deep, containing
more than 1000 men. They marched
step by step, and did not run. Be-
hind this was a second wave like the
first, and then a third, the intervals
between them being about l50 yards.
The German srtillery tore holes in
the ranks, which merely closed up
again, marched on and made an at
tempt to fire. They marched, as
though on parade. 1T was magnifi-
cent, but criminal" said the German
officer.
Then came a fourth line like the
other three. The first line was less
than 1000 yards from the German
trenches It came so slowly that it
was possible for the Germans to
make plans with cruel precision to
meet II.
Caught Between Walls Of Fire.
When the fourth line emerged from
the Russian wood the German artil-
lery dropped a curtain of fire behind
il and then a similar wall of shells
ahead of those in front. They then
moved these two walls closer togeth-
er with a hail Of shrapnel between
them, while at the same time they cut
loose with the machine guns.
The splendid formation of Russians,
trapped between the walls of fire, scat
tered heedlessly in every direction,
but in vain. Shells gouged deep holes
in the dissolving ranks. The air was
filed with clamor and frantic shrieks
were sometimes heard above the in
cessant roar and cracking or explodh g
projectiles.
Deafened men sought to dig them
selves into the ground in the foolish
belief thatNthey could fad safety there
from this deluge of shells. Others
raced madly for the rear and some es-
capped in this way as if by miracle
Still others ran toward the German
lines. only to be cut down by the Ger
man machine-gun fire.
In less than twenty minutes the ter
rible drama was over. The attack had
cost the Russians 1000 lives, and yet
not a Russian soldier had come within
500 yards of the German lines. 1T
