THE IRISHMAN'S ANSWER.

Remember what England has done to your race
In Erin for many year!
Recall all the horrors your folks had to face"
A German yelled, "Now let her fear!"
The woes of poor Ireland then flashed in nv mind
But soon they blotted away,
Recalling how Germany murdered our kind -
In prison camps under her sway
And now she's fighting in desperate straits.
Don't help her to tighten the load
Poor Erin, he said, was pawn of the fates
So England now reaps what she sowedl"
My heart for moment then counseed no aid
Till into my mind flashed the end -.
Of Easement, and poor Dublin rebels BETRAYED
By Germany posing as friend.
1t Dewey had fought with the big German fleet,
When calling Won Diederich's bluff
Though Uncle Sam might not have suffered defeat.
Our death list would have been enough,
And reading we'd find ,as we scanned that war tale
The Keleys, the Burkes and the Shays"
All victims of Cermanys love for the Gael,
Way back in those Spanish war days
With lads from Our State now far over the seas
And thousands from other States. too:
Who might IT they cared trace their ancestral trees

And brand traitor the man

Prosperity in Alexandra.

Alexandria, our baby sister city across the Po-
tomac another acquisition the era of pros
pery that has been attending it for the past year. The
United States Steamship Company according to plans
made public yesterday, is going to locate plant in
the Virginia city.
This will mean the purchase of land to the extent
of about sixty acres upon which will be built shops
to enable the company to take of immense war
contracts. Contracts of the company aggregate a
total of $36oooooo to be spent in the construction of
steel and wooden vessels
The location of the plant in Alexandria will bring
hundreds of mechanics that city. The news of the
prosperity attending Alexandria is particularly pleas
ant, both to that city and to Washington where the
people have always had intimate interest in the
affairs across the river.

real large casualty list that reaches this country will
have the desired effect.
But until that there is hardly more effective
method of rousng spirit in this country than through
the stories of those who have first hand the horror
OF "over there" Splendid pictures of this have been
painted by Sergt Guy Empey of "Over the Top" fame
man who has experienced and who is gifted enough
to retain mentally pictures of those experiences. In
his books newspaper articles and lectures it is proba-
bic that Empey has aroused enthusiasm than any
other man who has come from the front.
1t is these sort of stories that will bring to us the
realization Of duty and place in the worlds events
Along this line Chamberlin's Magazine in a recent
ISSUE prints article entitled "An Ambulance Drivers
Story"
"He is nineteen as years counted-this fair
haired slender youth who back from over there
the other day and told things we did not know
Less than year ago his father and friends had equip
ped ambulance and the boy and his companions,
eager, enthusiastic laughing started for France Now
save one-he gave his life for ideai-they back
again. The boy told something of his service the other
day in the dning-room of the Iroquos Club of Chi
cago, told it simply directly intellsenty.
'compeingly, that 400 men who listened were moved
by emotions that aroused but rarely.
Robert Redfeld, jr, did his part in bringing
out of the hell that is vaguely known the front and
his recital of conditions is that should be heard by
every American. The unaffected eloquence of the lad
his choice of language his straightforward story should
be utilized bringing to the attention of the people at
home the necessity for such resistless effort that the
great world tragedy be ended and the Hun stripped of
his power fer further evil"

One afternoon the minister in small town was

strengthening the hands and serving
the cause Of the most brutal mill

Lord Lansdowne's recent demand
Tor consideration by the allies of
terms for peace and for a restatement
OF thelr conditions is ill-timed and its
only result has been 70 give satisfac-
ton and hope to Berlin. Lansdowne
forgets that an explicit statement OF
the things for which the allies are
fighting has already been made, and
that the conditions have been restated
with admirable clearness and force by
President Wilson. lie forgets that
no statement Of terms has ever been
received from Germany. The status
of the war for the maintenance OF
civilization against the assaults of
organized barbarism is at this point
very similar to that in June, 1858. Of
the war for the Republic.
The enemy has been checked, but
not overcome. His resources in men
and in material are coming nearer 10
exhaustion. but he is still able on the
fighting line TO make a show of
strength.
The decision rests upon stay wing
power. upon will and nerves.
Civilization cannot endure with the
states Of the world half slave and half
free. The will power and the nerve
power Of the voters for freedom must
show themselves patient enough and
strong enough to overcome the mill
taristic barbarism Of the Hun.

Helping the Turks.

Peace made by any sort of Russian government
with Turkey not only would violate treaties with the
allies, but it would release great Ottoman armies in
the Caucasus and Persia to crush the British in Paes-
tine and Mesopotamia. Such violation would in effect
be declaration of laid and comfort for the allies
enemies.
Unless We are TO waste blood and money by dis
regarding the vital effects and clnging the theories
and the nceties only, how afford to continue
helping Russia?
Japan is of the allies, bound by the solemn
and special treaty with Great Britain She has already
killed Germans and taken German territory, as Great
Brtains ally. If Russ-Turco treaty of peace is
made, why should not Japan be urged to raid Russia
for all she's worth?
The date is close at hand when if Russia doesn't
find herself, she must be found by others.
