One in Ulster and One for the Rest OF

System-A Modified Form of Parti-
ton of Ulster - Report Based on
Message to Brooklyn EasIe-Dissat-
isfaction Already Expressed.

Rumors began to spread in the mid
die of last week that a certain New
York man had received cablegram
from Sir Horace Plunkett stating that
the Convention" had agreed on its re-
port; that it recommended separate
Parliament for Ulster, another for the
other three provinces of Ireland, with
a sort of superior" Parliament over
both, but with restricted powers over
the Ulster one. If rumor stated cor
rectly the contents OF the cablegraln
from Sir Horace, Ulster was to be Civ

ed to Quebec in the Constitution of the
Canadian Dominion-of which mos,

little Or nothing--and that the char
acter of the "Home Rule" scheme was
to be almost Canadian" Nothing at
all could be cleaned as to the powers
to be conferred on the superior" Par
lament, or what functions were to be
exercised by the two "subordinate'
ones, but the word almost certainly
suggested limitations of authority,
such, for instance, as the denial of the
right to levy import duties, without
which the industries destroyed by Eng
lish legislation can never be rebuilt or
restored. AS it is England's settled
policy to keep Ireland from growing
industrially and to have her economic
life controlled from London, it is safe
to hazard the guess that such a prohi-
bition will be cont2ined in the new
measure. In the discussion of the
worthless Bill adopted and then laid on
the shelf in 1914, all suggestions that
the Dublin Parliament might raise
revenue by levying 2 duty on tea, sugasy1
or such commodities were squelched
by the reminder that such duties would

of ST. Paul's Seminary, Warns
Against Over-confidence.
War Will End When We Win 1t, He
Says-No Compromise With
Military Autocracy, No Pen
atty Too Severe for the
German Rulers.

If the United States had not entered
this war it would have been dishon
ored forever.
Germany said the United States
was afraid to fight-to make sacrifices
and it was up to this country to show
the world that it could and would
fight to make the world safe for democ
racy.
"Now, the United States must raise
an army of at least 100000 men, 2,
and keep this army in fit condition as
long as any other nation has stand
ing army
Thus declared Lieut.. Paul Perigord
cf Syracuse, N. Y, who left his duties
as Catholic priest at the outbreak OF
the war to join the French army

ago. Since the outbreak of the wal
he has been in the trenches continu
ously, and has been decorated six
times. French priests are not exempt
ed from service in the French army
trenches, the same as laymen.
Before joining the French army he
was professor of ethics in St. Paul
Seminary, st. Paul, Mimi. On his re-
turn to the United States he was de.
tailed for duty at Camp Devens, Mass,
a cantonment of the National Army.
Later he was given the further de-
tail of touring the West to lecture on
the war.
"The United States entered this war
Just in time to save it's honor and free
DOM" he said.
"But the United States is not pre-
pared for war; The people of your
country have to learn to fight in this
war in an entirely different manner
than heretofore.
'The American soldiers, before be-
coming successful in this conflict, must
get the killing spirit.
America with all it's preparations
has not reached a point where it's
weight is being seriously felt in the
waging of the war.
Marshal Joffre told me to deliver a
message to the American boys. He
said to tell the boys of this country to
be a little bit afraid. Tell them not to
be overconfident. They do not realize
the dangers of war. They should be
brave, but their bravery should be tenn
pered with prudence.
"They must not be rash. They will
want to rush the Germans and have it
out, but this will be folly and will re-
suit in instant death to them.'
The lieutenant then told of how he
received his commission.
'In February, 1916" he said, "our
battalion was in little French vii

and we received orders to advance and

Louis XIV. Of France, who said: The
throne of a king is not the throne of
a man, but the throne OF God himself"
They are Gods. and partake in some
fashion of the divine independence"
It was Filmer, an old English
writer. who said: Whatever Is nat
uraI to man exists by divine right;
kingship is natural to man: there
fore, kingship exists by divine right"
1T is unnatural for the multitude to
choose their governors, or to govern,
or to partake in the government"
Thus, by a process of what seemed
to them plausible reasoning, were the
people led to believe the doctrine Of
divine right" until they became as
submissive TO the king as sheep to
their shepherds. they led them whith-
ersoever they would, even into con-
flict with other nations, for no other
reason than to satisfy some selfish
ambition of their king. 1t was Louis
XIV. himself who said: self agrand-
izement is at once the noblest and at
the same time the most agreeable oc-
cupation of the kings" Wars may be
necessary at times, in fact, under
present conditions 1 think they are.

ARKANSAS DIOCESE FIRST
To ELECT NEGRO STFFRAGAN

The small diocese of Arkansas has
just led the Episcopal church OF the
country in electing a negro a suffra-
gan bishop, and also In electing two
suffragans, the limit allowed by law,
for one diocese It is stated that the
leadership OF Arkansas was taken
only after consultation with other
Episcopal dioceseS in the south. and
gan bishops are to be chosen One
OF the two suffragans elected by
Arkansas is g white man. The negro
suffragan is Rev James E Russell,
long head of the Industrial school at
LaWrenceviile. Virginia, on lines Of
Hampton Institute. Of which the new
suffragan bishop elect is a graduate.
The white Arkansas suffra gan. the
first to reach the limit allowed in
point OF numbers in any one diocese,
is Rev. DR.. z. W Saphore, long arch
deacon of Arkansas, but earlier rec
tor of a large parish in WATERFOWL,
New York.
This step OF Arkansas IS the one
decided upon by the Episcopal church
to meet its needs in relation to the
negro. It means. not a separate
Episcopal church for the negro. but a
different administration for him. The
aim is 10 get a superintendent OF
negro work that is more in touch with
negro people than a white bishop can
be. Other southern dioceses are TO
choose suffragans. IL is said. but pend
ing their action the Arkansas suffra-
gan may 20 into other dioceses than
his own, 10 assist in negro work.
