WILL AMERICA
take IRELAND
BY. PURCHASE
A New York Herald Suggestion
D. N. T. in An Able Letter
Points to Its Possibility.

Last Sunday the New York Herald"
gave big display to letter signed
ID. M. IT," who we presume is an
1rishman, suggesting the purchase by
the United States of Ireland and plac-
ing it in the position of one of the
states of the Union. Following is Cd
M. T.'s' letter, which has smack of
practicability about it and is we'll
worth considerations:
To the Editor of the Herald:
In your issue of February 10 Pro-
lessor Usher, in his article entitled
"Will Victorious Nations Permit Am
erica to Join Their League" says the
Allies champion with ardor the cause
OF Belgium, Holland, Alsace-Lorraine,
Serbia, Roumania, of the Italians in
Austria, of the Poles in Russia, but
we do not find them as anxious to
free the Films in Finland, or the Jews
in Poland, or the Irish, the Persians,
the Egyptians and the Hindus. The
Central Powers are advocating the
claims of the Irish, the Poles, the Bull
garians, the Turks and the Greeks, but
they are silent about the rest. Neither
of them says anything for the Ruth
enes."
People of Irish birth and descent all
over the world are particularly anx-
ious to know what is in store for Ire
land as result of the war. From
newspaper reports it would appear that
the German Government is DESTROYS
that Ireland should be free and indie
pendent of England.
The British Government has already
passed a Home Rule Act, giving Ire
land a certain measure of freedom,
but has suspended its operation until
after the conclusion of the war, when
1t may be repealed or amended.
From the recent rebellion in Ireland
it may be reasonably inferred that at
least some Of the Irish are dissatisfied
with British rule, and students of his
tory need not be reminded that the
Sim Fein rebellion is only one of a
long series of "risings' that have &C.
CURED in Ireland during the last seven
hundred and odd years.
AS an independent nation Ireland
would appear to have little 'show,"
AS a British possession she is doomed
to oppression and poverty, and as a
German colony she would probably be
no better of than under English rule.
There is one other solution of the
Irish question that probably would be
more satisfactory to the majority of
the people concerned. and that is to

81 BRITISH SHIPS
DESTROYED IN MONTH.

New York, March 6.-Oficial fig
ures from the British admiralty made
public yesterday at the Office of the
consul general of Great Britain show
that during February "a British mer.
chant ships were destroyed by mines
or submarines.
OF this number, 81 ships were OF
1000 tons or over, and 80 were under
1000 tons. In addition to the mer.
chant ships, 20 fishing vessels of Brit.
ish register were sunk.
The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1917-03-10

The figures show that the number
of merchant vessels of all nationali-
ties over 100 tons each and exclusive
of local or fishing craft which arrived
at and departed from British ports
were as follows:
Vessels arriving, 9,463.
Vessels sailed, 1924.
Total, 1857.
The number of German submarines
captured or sunk, the admiralty says,
will not be made public.

THE JOURNAL FOR JUNE

June imports totaled 1907. 900. 900.
the record month in our trade history
and two and one-third times our i'm
ports for June. 1913 The average rate
of duty on all these imports was six
per cent, the lowest rate of duty in
our trade history. June imports paid
customs evenue in the sum of s18,-
$4,000. June. 1913, imports paid s2S,
SOS. 500, an average rate of Is per
cent. To put it another way, June.
1917, imports were 1876 per cent great
er than June, 1913, imports; while the
customs revenue was about 80 per
cent less. The Democrats gave us the
present tariff law with the promise
that imports would be so increased
by the cut in duties that customs reve-
nue. would show a marked increase.
See how it has worked OUT To have
equaled the June, 1913, customs reve-
nue. at the June, 1917, average rate OF
duty, we would have had to import
more than 1894, 900, 700 worth Of goods,
or at the rate of nearly s4,730. 000, 900
per annum. Isn't it about time we
began to realize a little more of our
taxes from the ports?

M FROM SOLDIERS

Within the last few days thousands
Of letters and postcards from Ameri-
can soldiers in France have reached
this country. and a majority Of the
postcards bear a picture Of a port in
France. with the name of the port
printed thereon, and the words, I'VE
landed here" written on the cards by
the senders. No newspaper in the
United States has printed the ngme
Of the port in France at which the
troops landed, and which. presumably.
is to be the landing place for all fu-
ture expeditions. The newspapers and
telegraph companies must say, "A
Port in France" instead Of giving the
name Of the port. At home we are
permitted to print An Atlantic Port
or "A Pacific Port but that is as
or "A Pasifc Port" but that is as
near as we dare signify. We have
not been informed what the penalty
might be for a violation of this rule
Of the censor's; but in the case of =
Republican newspaper like The Silver
state. it is safe 10 say it would b.
something fierce-considering a Dem
ocratic administration. We might BE-
hung. or court-martialed. or shot ri
daybreak-we don't know. But the
information is now in the hands Of
thousands of relatives and other
friends of the soldiers. and. doubtless.
has also reached Berlin. The incident
merely goes to show the mysterious
ways in which the censorship works.
its wonders to perform.

GO TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
By ERNEST O. SELLERS
Director of Sunday School Course
Moody Bible Institute
JOHN WANAMAKER AND THE
SUNDAY SCHOOL,.

\ MONG the friends and support
II ers of this movement no name
is more prominent than that of Mr..
Wanamaker, postmaster general in
President Harrison's cabinet, and
rlore widely known as the mer
chant prince of Philadelphia. Mr..
Wanamaker's devotion to the
monthly meeting Of the PennsyI-
vania state Sunday School associa-
ton is as regular and az rigid as
any time devoted to his personal
business affairs. He has been a
lifelong Sunday school teacher AND
officer and at the recent jubilee pa
rade of'27,000 Bible class men, Mr..
Wanamaker was at the head of his
own class of nearly 1000 men as
they paraded the streets of Phila-
delphia. The following letter has
just been received from Mr.. Wana-
maker and it Is for publication:
Il am often asked why l keep
up my interest in church and Sun
day school work. With the same
amount of reason l might be asked
why do l eat or why do l sleep?
Because l find one just as neces-
sary to my well-being as the other.
l could eat we'll and sleep we'll, and
yet be q very miserable man with
out the spiritual uplift that comes
only from an attendance upon d.
vine ordinances.
Il have grown up from young
manhood into mature life, along
with hundreds Of church and Sun
day school members, and I count it
one of the great privileges of my
life to touch shoulders with the
earnest Christian men who are dill
gent in business. fervent in spirit,
serving the Lord.
Il have made it the rule Of my
life to be In my regular place each
Lords day when in health and in
the country. Thus by example to
encourage every officer and mem

lance Of regular attendance and al
ways being on time.
