ireland, America and Britain.
From the Spectator, London.

The interest of Americans in the status and condition of Ireland
is proverblal. Ever since the early days of the 10Th century, the Irish
element in the United States has regularly organized sympathy with
Ireland and collected money for the cause of Irish nationaism. 1t is
not to be wondered at that from the first stages of this movement
Americans, who of course after the war of independence retained
bitter feelings about the oppressive faculties of the British nation,
were inclined, without going very deeply if at all into the evidence. to
believe that Ireland was a garing example of the small oppressed
nationality. This quite Ineligible, and i'm a way crednable If rather
loose, sentiment has prevailed up to the time of the present war. ANY
time during the past three years it was possible to trace the sentiment
still at work in the many hints and suggestions and invocations from
America to the effect that Anglo American cooperation would be
made all the easier if only Great Britain would consent to 'treat
Ireland fairly.
Soon after the United States declared war on Germany a great
many intelligent American soldiers anne over here and made ue of
their opportunities to inform themselves about Ireland, and they
learned a great da THAT surprised them. They discovered that
Ireland, instead of being in distress and requiring funds from the
United States-far from being the dstressful country of their
vlslon-was never more prosperous. They found that the farmers
Were receiving the whole advantage of the great rise i'm apricultural
prices, and that they had no shortage of labor, from which every
other part of the united kingdom was suffering. They found that
military compulsNn was not applied to Ireland. They also discovered
that Ireland, instread Of being held down by oppressive laws, was al,
lowed to do as she pleased in a manner absolutely unheard of i'm any
other part of the united kingdom. They discovered, again, that the
Irish people received very light sentences in the courts when convict
ed OF otfenses, it indeed they were convicted at all that they paid less
IN taxation; that they were grossly overrepresented in parliament:
and that they held their land on secure and easy terms which re the
envy OF farmers in other parts of the kingdom. Our only concern now
is not that the revelation of the facts to all Americans may not be
complete, but that Americans, when they have found out all that there
is to know, may suffer such ca violent revusion that they may think
too harshly of Ireland as a whole. They may be inclined to speak and
act in the manner of people who have been sold"

The Fighting Y. M. C. A.
William Allen White.

They know no creed or denomination.
OFTEN the army chaplain, who is some-
times a Catholic. Is the moving spirit in
the Y. NJ. c. A. In some cases, of course,
the Catholics have their own places of
recreation, but in several cases Catholic
priests in the regular army service. Off
ciate In the Y. M. c. A. as leaders of
sports. These Catholic priests. many of
whom are Irish. with the natural Irish
talent for leadership, are great sources
OF help to the organization n in war
times Catholic. Protestant, Jew and Cen
tile. Mormon and Christian Scientist are
all striving for the same American end.
Naturally. while creeds are losing their
Importance. the pietistic end OF the Y. NJ.
=. a. takes a secondary place. When a
soldier has brought himself to that exalted
spiritual state where he is willing to give
up his life for his country. and for an
IDEAL OF human progress, 1t Is rather
superfluous to bother him with any ques-
tons about the state of his soul. The
state OF his soul Is all right or he wouldn't
be on the job. Religious services are held
In the Y. NJ. c. A. Sundays and perhaps
one night In the week for those who care
for them. and these religious services
generally are crowded to the utmost. But
the religious end of the work of the Y. NJ.
G.. A. In Europe Is not over emphasized,
and the chief end Of the association is to
keep the men morally and physically fit
for the big work before them.

1t may interest American mothers to
know that the physicians and surgeons
or the American army camps are just as
Keen that their sons shall be physically
and morally fit as the mothers themselves
can be. Nothing d~isintegrates an army so
quickly as those conditions that existed in
Europe during the first year of the war.
And every medical rule OF the army Is
made in accordance with the ideals of the
Y. NJ. c. A. Tn American soldier who
contracts a social disease in disobedience
OF the rules for the prevention of infec-
ton Is given three months at hard labor
and loses three months pay. This rule
does not exist in any other army of the
allies. 1t is a hard rule but 1t is intended
to keep the American soldier a we'll man
and a decent man. But with those rules
alone. and without the American Y. NJ.
c. A., our splendid record in Europe
would not be possible. Late in September,
thanks to the cooperation Of the doctors
and of the Y. M. c. A., the number OF
cases Of social diseases in the American
army contracted in violation of the rules
OF the army physicians were less thar !
per cent, n other armies in France
have had as high as Is per cent. Partly
this result 10 due 10 the American home

grained in the American boy in his child
hood. and partly this was due-and it
seems to many observers. largely thi. was
due-to the work OF the American Y. NJ.

SECRET DIPLOMACY.
From The Gazette de HoIIands.

i'm these revelations or into the denials
and counter denia which have followed
In their wake. One lesson stands out
clearly, however, and that is gigantic and
secret power for evil in the hands of a
few men. This factor appears clearly in
each one OF the revelations whether
directed against the entente or against
the centrals. The German crown council
OF July 8. 1914. is a typical instance. Both
according to the recent Times version and
according to the version published in the
Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant three
years ago.. decisions were adopted at that
meeting which affected the fate of the
whole OF Europe. Yet the meeting was
held In all secrecy and was attended My
by men who had no mandate, no author
ity whatever from the people over whose
fate they decided. The same extraordi.
nary fact comes out In the "~revelations'
concerning Lord IIaldaine's mission to
Berlin. In the negotiations between czar
ana kaiser. and in the proceedings which
accompanied the Russian mobilization.
Why should 1t De necessary for negotia-
tons between two great nations like
Britain and Germany to be carried out in
secrecy? Why should not the people have
something to say in q matter which cOn-
Germs their very lives? Why should two
persons such as the. czar and the kaiser
be able to discuss In equal secrecy matters
which concern not only their own nations
Of 700. GO0.NN of people. but ali Europe?
Why should individuals possess this igaIi-
tic power over the fate II their fellow
countrymen?
