MiIwaukee's Oldest Soldier, Hale and
Hearty-A Native of Roscommon,
IreIand-Sailed Across Ocean.

The oldest veteran at the Soldiers
home in Milwaukee is Sergeant Thom-
as Kelly, who has just rounded out
his 102nd year. He is a native of
County Roscommon, Ireland, and came
to this country when nineteen years
old-the voyage across the Atlantic
taking over seven weeks time. At the
start of the Civil war, Mr. Kelly was
in st. Louis, and joined Company A..
Seventh Missouri Infantry, and served
under General Mcpherson. After be-
ing wounded in the blockade at Jack
son, Miss, he was raised to the rank
of sergeant. Mr. Kelly celebrated
Christmas day by helping to serve din
ner to his comrades. Despite his ad-
vanced age, he is active daily, reads
his prayerbook and still enjoys his
pipe.

bigotry Cropping Out
In North ireland
Judge Law Smith Severely Condemns
Method at Limerick Sessions.

ut is the most terrible case of Sec
tartan bigotry have ever experienced,
and, coming from the North, l know
what that is," said Judge Law Smith
at Limerick Sessions, one day last
month. Mrs. Mcnamara obtained de-
cree of s pounds, against Rev. Canon
Robertson and Joseph Stewart, being
the Select Vestry Committee of st.
Munchin's Protestant Church, for OBJ
structing her in visiting a grave, and
a further decree for two pounds, ten
shillings, money paid in mistake for
the purchase of a grave. The Vestry
had objected to tombstone with an
Inscription asking for mercy on the
souls of the plaintiffs parents, on the
ground that it was contrary to Prot
estantism to pray for the dead, and
the tombstone had to be removed; and
Mrs. Mcnamara alleged that she was
obstructed while visiting the grave and
while praying. She stated that Cath.
olics and Protestants were buried in
the graveyard.

Let Schooner Rot or
Allow Allies to Use It
Master of Matte Newman Tells of
Refusal to Permit Repairs of DAM
aged Vessel at Liverpool Except on
Condition.

Washington, March 7.-Great Bri
tain is now impressing American
ships into the munitioning service of
the Allies.
The extreme shortage of ships to
handle the business of the British ad-
miralty is illustrated by the case of
the American schooner Matte New
man, which is lying in the harbor of
Liverpool in a badly damaged condi-
tion, unable to leave because the min
lister of munitions refuses permit
for repairs unless it's owner will con-
sent to the use of the vessel in the
French coal trade or on similar busi-
ness for the Allies.
This is one of many cases pending
before the federal government, any
one of which would result in serious
issue between the United States and
Great Britain but for the grave SUBJ
marine issue with Germany.
The Matte Newman sailed from a
New England port late last summer
for Liverpool with cargo of lumber.
1t was partially wrecked in a heavy
storm. A portion of the cargo was
jettisoned, and the schooner, which
is not a large craft, finally limped into
Liverpool in September.
After much delay the minister of
munitions announced his willingness
to permit the schooner to be repaired,
but on condition that it enter the
coal trade between British and French
ports, or engage in some other form
of trade for the Entente powers. He
also demanded that the vessel accept
blue book rates, about one-third of
the "going rates.
Despairing of getting any action in
England, the master spurned this offer
and took passage for home with his
crew. .....
The case was laid before the ship.
ping board by officials of the Cham
ber of Commerce of the United States.
The board has advised the owners of
the Matte Newman to hold on to
their ship as matter of patriotism,
despite the fact that they are losing
money on it every day and the British
admiralty has signifed a willingness
to purchase the craft "at it's own
price,"

0yer-T axation Of
ireland by England
ireland Has Paid Over $1,5oo, o,ooo, 900
In Excess Of Her Right Proportion
Of Taxation. Royal Commission
Over Twenty Years Ago Brought In
This Verdict, But No Portion Of
Money Paid In Returned.

The over-taxation of Ireland has
been again discussed in the press and
on the platform. The discussion was
started by Mr.. John Dillon who said
that England owed Ireland $1,50O, ,OOO,-
900 which has been paid into the Eng
lish treasury since the union in excess
of lrelands right proportion of taxa
tion. Mr.. Dillon did not suggest any
means by which Ireland should be re-
imbursed or even a remedy for the
discontinuance of this enormous drain
on the resources of poor country.
In 1895 the British Royal Commission
brought in as their verdict that since
the Union in 1900 England had wrong
fully taken from Ireland $1,575, 1000, 900
in over-taXation, and that the wrong
still continued at the rate of $15, ,OOO,-
600 per year.
Over twenty years have elapsed
since the findings of the Royal Com
mission, yet no attempt has been made
by England to reimburse Ireland or
even to stop the drain on Ireland
which has continued for over a CEN
tury. Instead Of adjusting the long
standing wrongs imposed on Ireland,
inequalities proved by their own en-
perts, the English government not
only has refused to tighten Ireland's
burden, but actually has tried to
create the impression at home and
abroad that Ireland is not self-sup-
porting and that she is constantly in
need of grants from the English treas
ury-that this grievance has not been
remedied after generation of Parlia-
mentarism has turned even conserva-
7s i n1sada against constitutional
methods.

IRELAND IN GRIP a.
OF MARTIAL Law
Lloyd Georges Administration Tight
ems the Grip Of Martial Law in Ire
land. Men Recently Released From
the Detention Camps Are Hounded
BY the Police Day and Night.

The Lloyd George regime has not
softened the rigors of martial law in
Ireland. In fact, arrests, trials and i'm
prisonments have largely increased
since the beginning of the New Year.
The men who have recently been re-
leased from the English detention
camps are followed around and hound
ed by police and detectives. Several
of the men who had been officers in
the Irish Volunteers, have been rear
rested this week and are detained in
Jail without having been informed of
the charges against them. Sean Mil
roy, prominent Nationalist is one
of the victims and Mr. O'Doherty of
Derry City has also been rearrested.
Tadg Barry a prominent Cork Gaelic
Lacquer, has been sentenced to two
years Imprisonment for speech de-
livered at meeting Of Cork citizens.
The language was far from being in
temperate or seditious. 1t was mere
ly guarded criticism of the govern
ment. Men are sent to Jail for six
weeks or two months for singing Irish
National songs-"Who Fears to Speak
of Easter Week" and ga Soldiers
Song" are specially prohibited and
anybody who sings them in public is
arrested and arrest means imprison-
ment. For the singing of those ma
tional hymns hundreds of young men
are at present serving terms of i'm
prisonment. Ireland is more than
ever in the grip of martial law and
the great Radical, Lloyd George, is
head of the Government that is behind
this tyranny and militarism. All Eng
lish parties; Tories, Liberals and La
borites, treat ireland as conquered
country.

Irish Freedom
ArOuSeS Interest

London, March THE prospect
that David Lloyd George would take
part in today's debate in the house
of commons on the Irish question and
outline the governments position
toward Ireland, aroused deep interest
in the proceedings. The debate
hinges on a resolution which will be
moved by T. P. O'Connor on behalf
of the nationalists. The resolution
reads as follows:
''That, with view to Strengthening
the hands of the Allies in achieving
recognition of equal rights for small
nations and the principle of nation
ality against the opposite German
principle of military domination and
government without the consent of
the governed, it is essential without
further delay to confer upon Ireland
the free institutions long promised to
her."
It is expected that an amendment
recording the desire of the house for
settlement without coercion of any
section of Irish opinion will be moved
from the government benches and
adopted as the official view. John
Redmond, who has been ill, hoped to
be we'll enough to speak, and Sir John
Lonsdale was prepared to explain
the views of the Irish unionists.

One Of the most enthusiastic meet
ings recorded in long while by Di.
vision No. 1, Ancient Order of Hiber.
mans, was held last Sunday evening
at their hall. Many visiting brothers
were present and business of import-
ance was transacted. One of the
most interesting matters that came
before the meeting was the challenge
issued by John Mason, vice president
of No. 2, to President p. " O'Donnell
of Division No. 1, to contest for
membership. After explaining the
matter in scholarly way Mr.. Mason
flung the challenge at Mr.. O'Donnell
in spirit that showed the real fight
ing quality of the ancient Gael. But
not to be outdone, Mr.. O'Donnell said.
''Lay on, John, we're off," and ac-
cepted the challenge without a mo.
ments hesitation, for he knew the
glory Of his clan was at stake. But
the fighting clans did not reckon with
Martin Crahen, county vice president
and member of Division 6, who sat
silently by and listened to the panning
of the two leaders until his grand Gel
tic blood began to tinkle for fight.
Not being able to suppress his feelings
longer. he got the floor and CHALLENGED
both divisions, qualifying his challenge
with the statement that Division
would have more new members than
the two named divisions would dare to
feed. OF course, it is needless to saw
that the challenge was accepted. The
result is rather complicated, but Mr.
Crahen VOWS that No. and all the

of Nos. l and 2. Now the battle ia

of the most unselfish, talented and
noble spirits that ever lived. 1t is

liberty-loving friends that over one

The Meaning Of the
Roscommon Election
Election Stunned Redmond and His
FoIIowers-Death-kneII to Constitu-
tonai Movement Count Plunkett
the Hero Of the Hour-Redmonites
Badly Defeated Despite All the
Trickery Of Smooth Politicians.

The defeat of the Irish Party candi-
date in the North Roscommon election
has stunned Redmond and his follow
ers. according to Irish Press News. It
is considered the death-knell of the
Constitutional movement which has
for so long deluded the Irish people.
Count Plunkett the successful candi-
date, after his son Joseph was MUIR
dered in cold blood by the Government
and two of his sons imprisoned for
long terms, was himself with his wife
deported to England. The Plunketts
are much loved in Ireland, and they
belong to family of patriots and mar
tyrs. Bishop Plunkett, who was put
to death under the Penal Laws, was
great-grand uncle of the successful
candidate for North Roscommon. The
vote was as follows:
Plunkett (Nationalist) ..... 1922
Devine (Redmonite) ...... 1,708
Tully independently ....... 67S
The Redmonites made strenuous ef-
forts to hold the seat made vacant by
the death Of J. J, O'Kelly. Sixteen
M. P.'s and forty organizers were sent
into the constituency to whoop it up
for the Irish Party candidate. The
overwhelming defeat of Redmond's
nominee has disappointed the English
Government officials who believed that
Redmond's hold on the Irish people
could not be successfully challenged.
North Roscommon is the writing on
the wall for the Irish Imperialists who
have supported recruiting and who
have divided their allegiance to Ire.
land with the British Empire. The
question now is, "Wil Redmond ef-
face himself or turn a right-about-
face?" The rebellion of Easter Week
has entirely changed the current of
Irish thought and blind reliance on
England for the redress of Irish griev-
ances has been tried and found want.

Without Trial. Catholic Editor
Taken.

Dublin. Feb 26. (By Irish Press and
News Agency to New York The
wholesale arrests and deportation of
prominent men during the past two
weeks throughout the country is due
to the effort of the Irish people to
keep the foodstuffs in Ireland, which
are being forcibly taken from the
people by the British military authori-
ties and shipped to England to feed
the English military and the English
civilians. Editor J. J. OKelly, of the

London, Feb. 27-(Associated press)
The recent arrests in Ireland have
left the situation there in an extreme.
ly serious condition, John Dillon, one
of the Nationalist leaders, declared in

These arrests, Mr.. Dillon said, showed
a sign of a change of policy in Ireland;
the men were being banished without
any reason being assigned
Unless the government was pre-
pared to put them on trial and formu-
late charges against them it has no
right to ask for blank check for it's
policy. Ireland, Mr. Dillon asserted,
in reality now was living under mar
tial law.
