YOUNG MIR. CARPLE'S ERROR

norance. I'd like to see a little more hopping up on the part of most of
 the boys who play around here! Most of them are lazy young boors!" like the way grown up people act! Why, when Ted and Norm are telling me about important things like a ball suppose they can be jumping up and down when mother or you appear? You ought to see the way Ted drives
 his car. He can go around a corner did you ever see Norm roll cigar cite with one hand?
 Why, Mir. Garple is so polite he won't drive fast for fear of blowing promised his father not to! He is SO polite he makes you imagine you're in d book or something like that. You feel you have to sit up straight and use perfect grammar. and that if you happened to~L1eet his mother she'd see right away your ha ir was out of place, and there. was button off the very bottom of your waist, where it doesn't show anyhow!
 He's that kind! Why. you can't be just comfortable and natural with MT. Garple at all! And he has an himself, and all over! And he can tell you all about the places you just read about in history, and it's awful It makes you feel as if it's school or something! Nobody but a nut could be that way!
 Why, I'd no more think of whist ling on two fingers whenNI went by the Garple house the way we all do when we go by Ted's or Norm's than anything! He's as polite as that! didn't ask him to come again, and if he docs. just won't see him! Why the girls nearly died when they found out he had called! You ought-a see Ted and Norm take him off when the crowd is together! I nearly die, the way they do it. perfectly sol emn! Now you aren't going to ask Tim here. are you?'' she ended dis tracted1y. Why, I'll just die!'
 Can you beat it?" murmured the father of the family to Caroline's mother.
 ''No." she agreed, its perfectly hopeless! They ought to have bread and water for a week. And we can't | do one thing about it."

sion was the scattered unionist and Protestant community outside of Ulster whose position would be still further weakened by the political separation of Ulster. The exclusion of Ulster from the form of government prevailing in Ireland, no matter what kind, is i'm possible.
 The maintenance of Irish independ- ence and of the inviola bility of Irish territory would be of especial interest to Great Britain and the United States Only from Britain would Ireland be lia ble to a sudden invasion in force and we need hardly doubt that. having once arrived at friendly relations with Ireland on the most secure basis, Great Britain would rot desire to make Ire land again her enemy. Ireland can not be conquered. Paptial conquests have been effected again and again, and the attempt may still be meditat- ed. Now. then. the basis of the notion Of interdependence-as against inde- pendence-among states and nations should be. I imagine. a recognition of the principle that obtains in civilized free communities, namely, that each unit, whether weak or strong, for it's own protection. is regarded as equal to each other unit "in the eye of the law" the weak the same consideration as the strong. The nations themselves must have the right to define their own liberty, that is, their claim to among the rest.

Some People Will Hang Themselves if
 Given Sufficient Rope

Mir. Editor: It is said that some peo- pie will hang themselves if given suf1- cient rope, and we shall have to place J. H. Cummings in that class,
 In his latest effusion he states that the British were whipped at Concord and Lexington by Irish n1inutemen
 This is certainly amusing. Every good student of New England history knows that the population of Massa- chusetts at that time was almost ex- clusively of English ancestry.
 For MT. Cummings. enlightenment I would refer him to The Beginning of New England" by John Fiske, page Al.
 In view of these facts it may be said that there is not a county in England of which the population is more purely English than the popula- ton of New England at the close of the eighteenth century. From a long ard careful research Mir. Savage, the highest authority on this subject. con- cludes that more than 9S in 100 of the New England people at that time could trace their origin to England in the narrowest sense, excluding even Wales.
 Possibly Mfr. Cummings is ready to historian as himself.
 Furthermore, I would refer him to the names of the killed and wounded On that memorable day. He can find them in Lossing's "Field Book of the Celtic names appear in that list.
 This is not written in any attempt to belittle the Irish people or what they actually did do in the Revolution.
 It is to show "J. H." that he should become better acquainted with the actual facts before he sets himself up as an oracle of American history.
 By the way. why has he said noth- ing about the execution of Edith Cavell? We have had an abundance from him regarding the fate of Case ment and his band of cowardly con- spirators. but never a word of the brutal execution of that noble woman.
 Respectfully,

RAILROAD NEERS

From the reply which has been re-
 ceived by the representatives of the
 railroads, who recently asked for a
 reopenfng of the rate increase aues-
 ton in order that they may have the
 privilege of endeavoring to get what
 they consider they need in the way
 of greater revenue for the operation
 of the transportation lines on which
 so much dependence is being placed
 at the present time, it would seem
 that the Interstate Commerce Com mission was giving heed to the de- mands and the situation with keener interest than it has in the past. This is to be gathered from the fact that. while the roads were willing to have the hearing on the matter delayed for couple of months, in order not to seem to be unduly pushing the mat ter. the commission has given notice that what amounts practically to an immediate hearing will be held and the date has been fixed for the fifth of November
 That the commission has sensed the situation is to be gathered from its statement to the effect that if the railroads are entitled to relief it ought to be granted promptly. They we'll understand the transportation needs and .hey know what deiAands are be- ing made upon the railroad systems from all directions and they indicate that existing conditions are going to be taken into consideration in dealing w!ch the new demands. It is of course 70 be expected that the railroads will prove their case. that they will pro- duce the facts and show where they are being forced to do business on an lnprofitable basis. That is to be an Licipated by the roads even though they may feel that they have furnish ed the same in the past without get ing proper results. It cannot help 9eing felt however that the early 'earing and the granting of deserved increases are justified.

BUtGARIA'S MOVE,

Just what sort of a game Bulgaria
 is attempting to play, whether it is
 sincerely destrous of concluding a
 separate peace or whether it is play
 ing the game of peace for the purpose
 of calling off the operations of the entente powers in the Macedonian sec tion, are questions which the allies have got t6 decide.
 Bulgaria would of courSe like to get out of the war if it could retain possession of the territory which it now holds. Such an agreement can
 hardly be expected from the allies, and {. separate peace would be more distasteful to Germany and Austria fecause it would not only withdraw an ally needed in the pan-German plan but it would also mean the with drawing of the Bulgarian forces from the war and the releasing of the al- lied troops on certain fronts for other service. That the increased talk about peace. including the statemsnt by the minister here upon the subject, shoufas come following the visit Of the kaiser in Sofia means cne Of two things. either Bulgaria has awakened to the situation which faces the central powers and has determined to get out from under under the most favorable conditions, and at the same lime curry favor with the allies by go- ing against Germany, or else it is attempting to play & desperate game for the purpose of halting the allied preparations in that region, where Greece is about to put it's army in the field. until it can catch them by surprise
 The allies have had dealings with Bulgaria which they are not likely to forget soon. It played fast and loose with them just before it's entrance into the war and they are not likely to be taught in another such trick

 Italy has been coxnizant of the im- portafice of the flying machine. It has put forth it's best effort In it's devel- opment and it must be agreed that it has been highly successful This is a lesson which this country not only can but will take fully to heart We have had the same opportunity but it has not been until recently that we have awakened to the necessity of giv- ing more attention to the airpianes, or the possibilities connected there with.
 When Italy shows to us q machine that is capable Of carrying forty per- sons, or the equivalent of their weight, and do for long distances and at high speed. it can be appreciated that the advantages which are thus Of fered are great Even with it's smaller machines there is the same stability and effectiveness demonstrated. This does not mean that American made machines cannot be made to do as well. for great hopes are placed in the product of the American factories but 1t ought nevertheless to impress upon this country the necessity of striving for the. supremacy which is bound to come through the air. Italy is therefore doing much with its ma chimes to bring us to this real;zat tion, If in fact we have not already reached

 MT. Editor:,I I desire to put the case Or Ireland before you, as far as space allows. In recent elections the people Of Ireland have shown that their true claim is to obtain q national liberty rot less than that possessed by any elections has been between tho maxi mum and some diminished grade of national liberty. The elections have teen fought and won for the maximum on a state register and under a re- StFicted franchise. A fresh register would have given Increased :najorities and adult suffrage would have shown practical unanifnity of public opinion In the eighteenth and nineteenth cen- turies many IriShmen were sentenced te be hanged, drawn and quartered for advocating the same program that has been approved by the votes of the majority in Roscommon, Longford, Clare and Kilkenny.

Independence is in the blood of Ulstern1en. Cambrensis bore witness to it seven centuries ago. Mill ten found the "blocl1ish Presbyterians' or Belfast unSubmiSSive to the Crom- we'll regime.

RECREATION IN TRAINING CAMPS

Many movements have been set on foot since this country entered the war for the purpose of contributing g to the needs of those who are at the front or those who are in training in anticipation Of going there These efforts may seem numerous and in some cases incoEsequenfia1 but if that is the case it is because we have not been called upon in the past to deal with such matters. War is soniethine which this country had believed would never occur on any such scale as that which is now being fought. If con ' fronts us, however, and it remains for us to deal properly with all the problems that are connected there with.
 We have got to see that the men are properly equipped, that they are provided with proper shelter, that they get the necessary training, focd clothing and care and at the same time that they are taught to drill and fight. There are many details which must be given careful attention in these directions and there are good reasons for believing that these are being carefully and thoroughly attend ed to. Much hard work is to be found by the young men who are giving their all to their country, but there are times when they are not thus en- gagged. There are times when they are not engaged in study or in sleep and it is only proper that due con- l siderati should be given to the recreation which they have a right to expect in their camps even as they did in their homes
 It is therefore proper that the eff forts which are being put forth in be- | half Of recreation for the men in the | training camps should be made. It | will not take the place of the pleas l ures at home but it will go a long way in that direction, and certainly | the men are entitled to all they get 1 n the way of such attentions

AIRPLANE DEMONSTRATIONS

There cannot help being much grat ification felt at the result of the dem onstrations of machines and aero- oautics made in the past few days in this country by the vis- ting Italian aviators. It has been conclusively shown that the avi- ators of Italy are required to attain a high standard before they are per- mitted to engage in the perfious un- dertakings which they are relied upon to accomplish. and at the same time It has been shown that they are pro- vided with modern and finely equip ped machines for the particular kind
