finds it necessary to decide on a
policy of general CONSUMPTION.
While brave, loyal France is daily
giving her life blood in her strug-
gle, England sits back and ref
erees the conflict. The fact Of the
matter is, whoever wins this war,
England is the victor, and she
alone, of all the belligerents, when
peace comes can be declared to
have gained anything after two
years or more of bitter strife. The
words Of that sterling warrior,
Admiral Nelson, have passed into

AN ULSTER PROTESTANT.

Sir Roger Easement is 81 years of
age. Although an Ulster Protestant,
he is heart and soul with the Irish
Nationalist in their struggle for Home
Rule. He entered the British con-
sular service in 1895. In 1908 and
1909 he was consul at Para, Brazil.
He became widely known through his
report on the terrible conditions which
prevailed among the Indians employed
in the rubber fields in the Putumayo
district investigations, and the report
was made when he was consul gen.
eral at Rio de Janeiro from 1908 to
1913.
He reported that in the Peruvian dis
trict, as a result of the methods en-
ployed, 10000 Indians had died, and
the rubber district resembled battle
field, strewn with the bones of the
slaves. He charged that the respon-
sibility lay with the British. He re-
signed from the British consular serv-
ice in June, 1913.
In July, 1914, only a few days be-
fore the outbreak of the war, Sir
Roger, who was in the United States,
denounced the attempt by the British
government to seize the rifles of the
Irish volunteers as lawless violence,
and pointed out that the Ulster volun-
teers, who openly announced that they
would resist the British by force if
Home Rule went into effect, were not
interfered with.
After the European war began he
addressed, on September II, an open
letter to the Irish press, in which he
advised Irishmen to remain neutral.
He went from here to Christiania in
October, and thence to Germany, with
the intention, it was said, to open ne
gotiations between the German gov
eminent and Ireland.

REBELS,

We have been hearing a great
deal recently about the Irish Re
bellion" and of the men who
dared to strike blow for the free
dom of their native land. These
men have been painted in the
blacklist terms by the Pro- British
press of this country and have
been denounced as agitators
against law and order. Less than
two centuries ago, a band of farm
sers dared to rise against the pow
er of the oppressor and history
tells us that "they fired the shot

This spot. on the Common OF
lexington, is now marked by a
monument, as fitting tribute to
those who fought and died there.
Later this same band was led
through many vicissitudes and to
ultimate victory by a man who
has since been called "the father

more correct knowledge of the char
acter and misdeeds of the present
chief ruler of Mexico, we quote a
passage from speech recently de-
livered in the United States Senate
by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts.
The Senator said, in part:
"Mr. Wilson was fully informed of
conditions. The character of Car
rama was fully explained to him be-
fore Mr.. Wilson recognized him as the
head of a de facto government. He
should have known that man of the
criminal character of Carranza, man
who aided and abetted the pillaging Of
churches and converts, the outraging
of nuns, the murder of priests and
religious, could not establish a decent
permanent government. For reasons
that he seems unwilling to give, Mr..
Wilson refused to listen. He de-
nounced as liar every one who
would not agree with him. BY in
ference he gave the lie to the whole
Catholic Hierarchy of this country.

Recently it has become quite
popular among the ultra fashion,
able women of every large city tc

sionary work among the poor. In

these young girls go about in the
poorer districts of the city minis

is quite a craze in some localities
and as one debutante expressed it,
1T is great fun" but there are
people who are hired to do that
sort of thing, who make it their
life work, and who are better
fitted and more capable of coping
with the problems than any
young girl without any worldly
experience. Much of this char
liable work is done hapl,azard,
spasmodically, and the benefits
accruing from it are very doubt
full. 1t would be far better and
more productive of lasting results
if the time and money that is
spent in this line of work was
spent in cooperation with some
recognized charitable institution
and at the same time, and what is
far more important, we would not
be exposing girls to the dangers of

is of this branch that Monsignor Lee
comes. His father was the youngest
son of Governor Lee of Maryland, and
his mother was Miss Carroll, grand
daughter of Charles Carroll of Car

Declaration of independence.

Monsignor Lee is the only living men,
Der of his class.
His first assignment was on Sept.
%, 1866, at st. Vincent de Paul's
Church in Baltimore, where he re-
NAMED until Sept. IL, 1860, when he
went to the Cathedral as Secretary
to Archbishop Spalding, succeeding
Cardinal Gibbons, who was consecrat-
ed Bishop and named Vicar Apostolic
OF North Carolina. In Sept, 1873, he
was appointed Rector of the Cathedral,
Baltimore, and in 1891, he came to
St. Matthews, Washington, as pastor.
On Aug. IL, 1908, Pope Plus x made
him Domestic Prelate.
The old st. Matthew's Church. or
ganized in 1888, which was located
on the northeast corner of Fifteenth
and H streets, northwest, now the
center of the commercial and bank
ing business of the city, was for many
years known as the religious home
of the Catholic members of the ex-
elusive diplomatic corps, and also
among it's parishioners were prom
inent officers of the Army and Navy
and their families, and men we'll
known in the official life at the ma

A MAD WORLD.
Easement is mad.

Wolfe Tone was mad.
George Washington was mad
We have had it all repeatedly
on the authority of England that
every man who ever took up arms
against England was mad.
The Kaiser is mad-thcre is no
doubt about it, for England has
said it. At the commencement of
the war England discussed
whether the Kaiser should be put
into a straight waistcoat or sent
to St. Helena.
Lincoln and Jefferson were
mad, as England has proved con-
clusively, just as she has proved
that Emmett and Mitchell were
mad. Sanity is monopolized by
England, and only those arc sane
who fight on the side of England
Every President of America
has been mad; all the Presidents
of France and the Cars Of Russia
up to five years ago were all can
didatcs for lunatic asylums.

dog; and the American tail wags

THE REVOLT IN IRELAND,

When the revolt broke out in
Dublin recently there were more
British troops in Ireland than the
entire country of the United
States ever boastcd prior to the
war with Spain. The ovcrwhelm-
ing odds which the Volunteer
leaders encountered made it inn
possible for them to Ion" hold out.
The uprising did not confront the
British government with scri-
GUS military problem. Politically
it is the opposite. The crisis can
not fail to convince even English
men that the Irish question is a
living, lasting, vital question. At
the beginning of the war with
Germany, Great Britain declared
herself the champion of smaller
nationalities, but Great Britain
failed to offer protection to Bel
giumif that was her intention. Ser
bia looked for aid from this much
advertised defender of small ma
tionalities, but looked in vain, while
in the meantime, England has
done all she could to destroy the
sovereignty of Greece and bring
about disturbances there. Eng

tionality of Ireland that she did

the world conflict? This is the
question which thousands OF
American citizens are asking
themselves. When the last note
was despatched to Germany it
was stated that reply was want
ed Immediately" This demand
was later modified to read with
in a reasonable time' and we
were assured by press reports
that the administration would
hold no further parley with the
Imperial German Government,
but that a full and complete dis
Iavowal, without delay, of all sub
marine warfare was the only
| thing that would satisfy WASH
ington.
We have been told that the
only way we can satisfy our ma
tional honor is to take up arms
against the Central Powers and
fight for our rights as neutrals.
Deep down in the heart every 10y
al American knows that this flow
of wonderful language, all these
honeyed phrases about the rights
of humanity are but subterfuge,
that back of it all lies desire to
draw America into the maelstrom
on behalf of England. Wall
Street wants it, because Wall
Street constitutes, at the present
time, the English treasury, and if
England loses, Wall Street stands
to lose, and it is willing to go to
any extremes to prevent such a
calamity. 1t has been said that
Wall Street rules this country
and that what is wanted by Wall
Street is wanted by Washington.
Our recent history seems to bear
out this assertion, and it is not
difficult to understand why our
demands have become so press
ing and why we have suddenly
| become a staunch upholder of
the rights OF humanity. We have
already said that Wall Street
wants war and we know that the
great mass OF American people
have no inclination to fight for
the money power. The next few
months will determine if this gov
eminent has ceased to be what it
was in the beginning, "a govern
ment Of the people, for the people
and by the people," or is now
ruled by that power which is said
to be all powerful, the power OF
the almighty dollar. Let us hope
and pray that this wonderful ma
ton of ours has not fallen away
from the ideals of it's founders
and that the spirit of democracy
instilled in our hearts by Wash
ington, Jefferson and Lincoln
will be a reality until the end Of
time.
