AT BRINKLEY

The great Red Cross Rally at the Brinkley School Auditorium on Wednesday night was the most wonderful meeting of the kind ever held in Monroe coun- ty. Scores of prominent citizens were present from Clarendon, Holly Grove. Pine Ridge and other parts of the county and patriotic enthusiasm was at fever heat.
 J. B. Moore of Clarendon pre- sided and Mayor c. F. Greenlee, Ex-Senator John P. Lee, Rev. H. c. Hoy spoke in consecutive order, all delivering strong and eloquent messages. Following this Pros. Atty c. Otis Bogle began the taking of subscriptions to the Red Cross fund.
 The first four subscriptions of $500 each were cheered loudly and then the smaller subscrip- tions came so fast that it requir- ed several expert accountants to get them down. In B minutes from the time the first subscrip- tion was given, sum aggregat- ing more than 5000 was sub scribed with many other Brink ley citizens yet to be seen and not counting the several hun dred subscriptions of the Brink ley colored citizens which will easily put the amount of the Brinkley subscriptions in excess of Sl0, 900.

 New York City rose in mighty tribute to Billy Sunday yesterday his last day in the now historic Tabernacle on. w hin gton Heights.

 Sixty thousand persons heard Billy Sunday in his three sermons.

THE FIRST BLOW
By Dt. Franke Crane

(Copyright, 1917, by Frank Crane)
 If you find you have to fight, and. there's no getting out of it. the thing to do is to get in the first blow, and to hit hard:
 This is a recognized principle In military tactics. The advantage Is always with the courageous offensive. Germany, by her sudden tremendous drive across Belgium toward Paris, came very close to being successful Tt took the Allies many long month to overcome the advantage the enc my had gained by it's vigorous tnitia- tive. ssa-c sns a51s inissss sszess
 The United States has been very slow about coming into this war; to the threatened people of France and England 1t seemed very slow. We did mot enter until the conflict had changed it's form from that of Eur opean quarrel to that of a contest between autocracy and democracy.
 But we're in at last. And having !! joined the fray it befooves us to strike with the fuu force of our arm. Half measures will not do. If we are to fight gently we had better far have ! stayed out
 Naturally the first aid America could bring to her allies was finan- ! cial. None of our development has been military; all our energy, all our sap and lustihood has fruited in busi- | meas; ours has been a constructive, lcreative civilization of which the con { tcrete expression was wealth. And wealth is just as essential in ] war as cannon. To come with gold lis of quite as much aid to our allies as to come with arms and men. ' It is of the utmost importance, therefore. that the Liberty Bonds, Representing America's first blow in the world war, be an enthusiastic, funqualified, overwhelming success. \ A11d it win not be a success unless }fhe wage earner, the man of Nmoder- ate means, takes hold.
 { The great wealth units, like the | United States Steel Cooperation, the tF1rst National Bank, and so on, have kresponded quickly and splendidly. II iss refreshing to see that big business lis patriotic, whatever else you may fHay of 1t.
 And the comman man win respond lJust as periodically and liberally provided he sees clearly that his lit ttle sum of money is needed as vel ias the great sums of corporations.
 This writing is to let you know, C ,con1man man, that you are needed
 The loan will not be a triumphant splendid deed without you,
 Every man, woman and child who can raise $50 at once, or by partia. tpayments, has a distinct, plain duty tto buy a liberty Bond.
 Have you got yours?
 Ruttonhole your friend, fellow lworkman. and ask him if he hal Fbought his bond.
 Let every woman in her club Lchurch or society start the sam, fquery.
 Let not one of us be found wanting bnk this, Uncle Earnss first call.
 It is the first blow.
 Let us strike hard.

 Budapest Correspondents of the Ber-

Did Ireland ever have a parliament of it's own7> x
 An Irish parliament, so called, exist ed long before the 1udors, but 1t had no representative character. Henry VIII. was the first to summon chiefs of the native Irish to a parliament in Dublin, but it was not until the reign of George III. that the Irish parlia- ment exercised any authority of it's own. Ireland's opportunity came in the course of the American war of independence. In 17s2 Grattan sue ceeded, with the aid of Flood and Ma lone, in securing the independence of the Irish parliament. At first no Irish Catholic could sit as a member or even vote for one. The right to vote was at last conceded, but bill en- titling Catholics to become members was vetoed by the king, who also re- fused to sanction the removal of many other disabilities Irish discontent led to the rebellion of 179S. When this had been suppressed Pitt induced the Irish parliament to pass the act of union which came in force 1901.

1t was also asserted that the two
Magyar factions, represented on one
side by Tisza and on the other by An
diassy, Karoiyi and Apponyi, were
uuited in their purpose to maintain
the Magyar hegemony in Hungary.
