Summing up the daily activities of
German and Austrian submarines in

rors have wrought havoc beyond the

readers.
Overseas there was the dash of the

base after being out tifty-three days
without taking on fuel and provisions.
One is almost tempted to predict
that Gordon of U.boats can starve
out England in three to six months.
If, as the English Minister of Agri-
culture recently was reported having
said, the war will be won on the corn
fields and the implanted acreage of
England, that experiment is likely to
prove beautiful chimera, for long
before she will be able to turn her
tennis courts and. cricket fields into
fruitful acres German submarines
might be able to close every port of
the island
1t would be just retribution for the
paper blockade now carried on against
Germany. The German mastery of
sub-sea boat building further showed
itself in the launching of the Deutsch-
land, which already had crossed the At
lantic four times. She will be Joined
by sister ships in the near future,
which will prove most important
means of carrying on commerce in
needed commodities, in addition to
carrying mails, which are now being

TOWARD RECONCILIATION.

Rome, Jan. 2.-Pope Benedict is fol-
lowing with deep interest the replies
to and the discussions of the peace
proposals that have been made by the
Central Empires and by President Will
son, but so far he has said nothing
officially about them. This, taken in
conjunction with the absence of any
reference to these proposals in the ad-
dress which he delivered to the cardi-
nails in reply to their congratulations
and good wishes on the occasion of
Christmas, confirms the opinion that
he deems it premature and unwise to
intervene without having first received
the consent of both sides.

cIared the Most Serious Economic

pondent N. Y. American.

Wilhelmshaven, Dec. 80 (via Berlin
and Sayville, Dec. 31).-While the
most spectacular naval episode of the
year just ending was the battle of the
Skagerrak, in which the German fleet
administered stinging blow to the
British, the outstanding feature of the
years naval activities is the cruiser
warfare carried on by the German u
boats.
Although actively inaugurated only
last Fall, it is now going on with a
speed which is not only striking terror
into the hearts of British shipowners,
but is already conjuring up the famine
spectre to the tight little island.
The November record of tonnage
sent to the bottom exceeds 100000
tons. bring the total of tonnage de.
stroyed since the beginning of the
war to beyond 3,50C,ooo tons.
Scrutiny Of the German naval &C.
tivities in the past year warrants the
assertion that the initiative at this
moment belongs TO them.
In spite of the fact that the proud
British fleet is given a free hand on
the high seas, an important check by
U-boat raids is going on in British
waters.
The year set in with the achieve
ments of the raider Moewe, which
after accounting for fifteen ships and
sending the Appam across the Atlantic
made dramatic dash for her home
port.
Then followed the rout of the Brit.
ish amanda of Jutlano on May 81.
which opened the eyes OF the world to
the efficiency of the German fleet. In
spite of the efforts to confuse the rec
ords Of that achievement, evidence Is
full and ample that the Germans more
than took the measure Of the tradi
tional lords Of the sea.
Since then the German feet has

IRISH. CANADIANS
Leaving DOMINION
Montreal, Que, Jan. /, 1917.

Montreal, Que, Jan. l, 1917.
More than 1900 Irish. Canadians of
military age have emigrated to the
United States fearing the possibility
of enforced military service through
out the Dominion. Others have left
for South American countries princi-
pally Argentina.
The casualty reports and the wound
ed coming home are having depress-
ing effect on army volunteers. The
war drags on heavily and so far as
the Irish elements of the Dominion
are considered there is no hope of
securing any large number of soldiers.
In Irish settlements the efforts at en-
listments are nearly abandoned. The
censored press do not admit the facts
but the campaign of Premier Bor-
don for "a million men" has lament
ably failed.
Not only among the French and
Irish is seen the growing feeling
against the government but out in Van:
couver where many of the inhabitants
have moved over the line to Seattle.
There is popular notion that Eng.
land has sacrificed the Canadians in
the first line trenches. The wastage
is not being repleted to overcome the
heavy sacrifices of life demanded.
Outside Of the military official classes
the sentiment is overwhelming that
President Wilson's peace plans will
prevail.

4. 0. H., IS DEAD
One Of the Early Presidents Of the

Promotion Of the Order-Was Be.
loved BY All Who Knew Him.

The following is taken from Still
water paper on the death of John Nc
Carthy, one Of the best and most be.
loved Hibernians of the state. The
deceased was state president of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians for two
terms. back in the early days of the
organization in this state. Everyone
who knew him had a kindly word for
him and all regretted his death, as
they felt that one of the pillars of
the order had been taken away from
them.
Word has been received in this
city from J.. H. Guerin of Hinckley of
the death Of John Mccarthy, which
occurred in Seattle, Wednesday, Jan
uary 8. The body will arrive in Still
water Saturday, and the funeral will
be held at date to be announced
later.
MI. Mccarthy went west with his
wife and son, Charles Mccarthy, last
fall to spend the winter with rela.
tives. He had been in failing health
during the summer, but was some.
what improved when he started west.
His wife, his daughter, Mrs. J. H.
Guerin, and his sons were with him
at the end.
John Mccarthy was born in the prov
ince Of Ontario seventy-one years ago
last August. He came to Saltwater
fifty years ago. He was united in
marriage with Miss McGoldrick, sis

of this city, now of Spokane. Wash.
His wife, and three children, Mrs. ].

ing OF Tablet Of Names That Will
Long Live In the Memory Of the
Knights Of Columbus Of This City.

To explain the above it is essential
for the reporter t. go back into his
tory for fearSof a-1aisinterpretation of
the above scare-head. 1t came to pass
that once upon time two brave
knights of the Hennepin Minneapolis
Council, No. 435, challenged each other
in the presence Of many other fearless
knights, at council, in their assembly
palace, to combat for membership,
which was duly accepted by each COM
batant right there and then. Immedi-
ately, chatting under the spirit of Prov
essness of the knights of old, fearless
and noble knights were chosen by each
challenger and date set for the end
of the battle. Well, it came to pass
that the Irish captain chose Irish
knights and it came to pass that the
German captain chose German knights
and it came to pass that the combat
was between the sons of Erin and the
sons of the Fatherland. But, it came
to pass, that here lies the real tragedy,
the Irish captain, as brave and true a
knight as ever lived, slipped one over
on his German opponent by naming
every fearless fighter in his mighty
band with a Teutonic name and title.
Last Monday at the regular meeting
of the council the tablet of names was
unveiled in the midst of every knight
present. The CONSERVATION on the part
Of the Germans we cannot report, as
all newspapermen were barred, but
our efficient reporters staff has been
able to get all the names, or rather the
new names, as tied to each Irish
knight by his brave captain, which are
as follows:

HOME RULE THROUGH
IMPERIAL CONFERENCE
By J. H. Donnelly.
Dublin, Dec. "a, 1916.

Dublin, Dec. "a, 1916.
l talked with an Irish member of
Parliament, home for the holidays, who
is convinced at last that Premier
Lloyd George will outline plan of
Home Rule for Ireland to be submitted
to the coming Imperial War Confer.
ence of Great Britain and her over
seas colonies which is to convene in
London in February. The British
Premier has been sounding by cable
the colonial premiers and is said to
be enthusiastic over the unanimous
responses from the colonies all of
which excepting Ireland and India
have Parliamentary governments. 1t
is true that the Imperial War Confer
ence of the Colonial delegates has
no authority over Irish questions but
the Premier believes the moral ef-
feet of the support of the self-gOvern-
ing colonies for an Irish Parliament
is bound to have a controlling effect
on English sentiment, on British feel
ing throughout the world, and to d.
minish Ulster opposition on the the
ory that the Irish Nationalists must be
placated If the Empire is to be saved.
The feeling of alarm and terror over
the dread fears of losing the war,
the probability of another revolution
in Ireland. il arms could be landed
are two controlling reasons for hast
Act. Then there is the desire to reach
the Irish in the United States, in Can
ada, in Australia and South America
where neutral sentiment has turned
against England, founded, In part, on
her failures in Ireland. Premier
Hughes of Australia, says this Irish
member of Parliament, goes so far
as to say that with the Irish question
settled, another referendum to decide
Conscription in Australia could be
safely ordered and carried through
which would add 25O,OO0 men to the
British army within year.
Surprising but correct is the state
ment that the Sim Fein section of
Ireland is to be taken into account
in the consideration of the proposed
Irish government measure. They are
known TO be separists but 1t is claimed
the Irish charter of freedom will be so
broad as to include policies advocated
by the revOlutiOnists. Imperial Union
to save the Empire Is the cry which
brings Home Rule near. The emer-
gencies, the dire need of England alone
may bring about an Irish Parliament
where century, OF agitation has
failed.
The views of Sir Edward Carson are
unknown at this writing yet it seems
certain as the chief supporter Of Prem.
Ter Lloyd George in the Cabinet he
will be brought around to some com.
promise measure. There may be
adopted a scheme for a plebiscite
throughout Ireland for proportional
representation in the Irish Parliament
under which the Unionists would sc.
cure satisfactory representation. A
number Of the large shipbuilders,
linen makers and bankers in the North
are understood as having been won
over to some such scheme by the
agents of Lloyd George. There is no
belief in Dublin that peace Is near
at hand. This feeling makes for
some settlement Of the Irish question
this coming Spring.
