S0CIAL-PATRI0TlC
RALLY AT PRO-
CATHEDRAL
Something Unique in the Social Ac-
tivity-Program Of Tableaux En-
semble Singing, Orchestra Num-
bers and Patriotic Speeches.

Next Monday evenings social and
sub-auditorium is attracting city-wide
attention for it's uniqueness and nov
city. The central theme is to be
patriotism, but this is to be garnished
with genuine socialibility, with par
ticular reference to the enlisted
soldiers of this parish. There will be
an address of greeting for the soldier
boys and others by the pastor, Rev.
T. e. Cullen, which will prove bene-
fetal to all, touching as it will many
OF the most interesting questions OF
the hour in relation to patriotic sup
port of the nations policies.
! Among the tableaux to feature the
entertained will be "The Spirit of
'76," The Spirit OF '61.' and The
Spirit OF 1917" all of which have been
rehearsed with care and are sure to
please. The orchestra and the Glee
Club of the Pro-Cathedral School will
render special musical numbers, and
the orchestra will provide an accom-
paniment for the ensemble singing Of

general singing is feature which the
hostesses of the evening, the ladies
of the Rosary Society, are desirous of
emphasizing, and hope that all will
come with vocal organs ready for
action.
1t is quite likely that the enthusiasm
of the gathering will evoke a few i'm
promptu speeches from the assem-
blage. There is to be no admittance
fee, no collection and no direct or in
direct solicitation of funds, and moth
ing to be sold. Pocket books can be
left at home, unless for car fare. The
purpose OF the ladies who have Or
ganized the affair is to make it as
purely social as family or a chill
dren's party. Its scope is to be GAIL

that the auditorium will be we'll filled
for this generous kind of social work
is truly unique in these days of "bene
fits of every variety. The ladies' o.
the Holy Rosary Society are to be
heartily congratulated on this de

manner of social activities. The at
tendance and enthusiasm of Monday
evening will register the general ap
probation of their efforts.

I The most remarkable manifesto ever
issued in ireland has just made it's ap'
pearance. On May 9, the morning pa
pers of London gave conspicuous
place to a protest against the mutila-
ton of Ireland signed by eighteen
Catholic Bishops and three Protestant
Bishops. The signatories appeal to
the Irish people to repudiate the policy
which would divide their country into
two political divisions. For the first
time Irish Catholic and Irish PrOtes-
tant Bishops have united in joint ad-
dress to the Irish people urging them
not to permit their country to be be-
trayed into consenting to the partition
proposal advocated at the demand OF a
small minority of anti Catholic bigots.
Two Irish counties would block the
make-shift and wholly inadequate set
tlement of the Irish question offered
by the Home Rule Act on the Statute
Books. Fermanagh and Tyrone are
the two Ulster counties that are hold
ing up this settlement.
These two counties have a popula-
tion of some three hundred thousand.
Suppose every one in these counties to
be unalterably opposed to Home Rule,
which is far from being the fact, it
would then be case of 100000 placing
their veto on the wishes of more than
four millions of their fellow-country-
men. Outside of Ireland there is no
civilized country in which that species
of tyranny would be tolerated for
single moment Yet, in Difference to
this insignificant minority, the English
Government has been hesitating to
grant to the Irish people the miserable
instalment of justice embodied in the
Home Rule Act on the Statute Book,
Twenty-four hours after these lines
will appear in print Lloyd George will
announce to the world whether or not
the. English Government will bow in
humble submission to the handful Of
Orange bigots, who have presented
their ultimatum to it.
1t is surmised that the English Gov
ernment has already determined to
make this disgraceful submission.
one of the signatories of the protesting
manifesto, hints as much in letter
addressed to the Irish newspapers. In
it he says that some persons might be
surprised that he affixed his signature
to the manifesto, inasmuch as the par
tition policy was generally regarded
as good as dead. He makes it clear
that he has good reason to doubt
whether the partitionists have been
thoroughly defeated, as is generally
supposed. On the contrary, he believes
that they have carried the day. He
asserts that the partition plan holds
a place in today's practical politics.
He then adds:
Il think it my duty to write this al
though, from information which has
Just reached me, I am fairly satisfied
that the mischief is already done ant
the country practically SOLD"
1t may be asked, who have done th'
selling? The only persons in posi-

tends to confirm this belief, since we
perceive many of them in sad plight
from intestine disorders, and not one
of them entirely exempt. But should
those leagued together in wickedness

step in this program is the conquest
and annexation of Belgium. But as two

sphere, neither can ONE England brook

lasts England will never tolerate the
existence of rival naval base in the
North Sea, for therein rumbles the

Twentieth Century war, which is in

Stunned, convulsed and dumbfound-

their long cherished idols dashed in

untold ard indescribable woes Of hun

The end is in view. A new constella-

GOOD BUSINESS

John Wanamaker, sage Of Pnila
delphia, is sending out a little book
let which contains some real good
common sense. After reciting the
fact, well known to all students, that
war brings period Of business &C.
tfvity to a nation. he urges that the
United States maintain its fighting
efficiency by backing 1t up with an
energetic business activity.
War never causes business de-
preston. On the contrary It in
creases all business enormously
Sometimes fear or a false sense OF
economy makes local communities
unprosperous, through a mistaken
policy. Billions Of dollars will be
put into active circulation. Patrio-
tism dictates that they should be
kept in use that all our people may
be able to bear their share OF bur-
den OF war taxes.
A psychological feeling OF panic at
this time would be the worst thing
that could happen to the nation. Pa
triotic economy means the elimina-
tion OF waste and extravaganza; the
conservation Of food. public health;
development OF coordinate efficiency.
But II does not mean the lowering
OF moderate standard OF living; nor
the stoppage OF ordinary public ac-
tivities. Road building and public
works should proceed. Railroads
should continue their construction
work and upbuilding OF equipment.
Factories should be kept going.
There is an increased demand for all
produce.
Little demands will be placed upon
all OF us In the way OF increased
taxes. The people should be better
enabled to pay these by Increased
business activity. And this is not
only entirely possible but the natural
outcome OF the war. The vast war
debt means money Is being spent
now. among our own people, which
coming generations will have to pay.
A trifling part Of that increased ex-
penditure among the people should
go back to the public treasury by
way OF increased taxes.
Business today Is very good. Last
months increase was enormous. II
requires only proper sense of the
