dress before the reichstag by the for
eign secretary, DR.. Alfred thinner
mann, as quoted in a Reuter- dispatch
from Amsterdam. Replying to oblec-
tons raised by Socialist member to
the Mexican proposals, DR.. Zinmer-
mann said:
'We were looking out for all Of US,
in the event of there being a prospect
of war with America. II was a nat

Germany looked about for allies. In
The event OF the outbreak of war with
America is natural and justified fore
sight. l am not sorry that, through
its publication in America, it also be-
came known in Japan.
For the transmission OF this dis
patch the safest way was chosen
which was at our disposal at that
time. How the Americans came into
possession of the text which went to
America in special secret code we do
not know. That these instructions
should have fallen into. American
hands is misfortune, but that does
not alter the fact that the step was
necessary for our patriotic interests.
Least of all are they in America
justified in being excited about our
action. 1t would be erroneous to sup
pose that the step made a particular
ly deep impression abroad 1t is re-
garded as what it is-justifable de-
fensive action in the event of war"

II had conjectured that il should
be sought neas the Severn or the

three places named Banwen (Which
may represent Bannaventa) in Ola

the solution may possibly lie there"
The reader is now in possession of
the names Of the chief authorities
modern and ancient on the subject,
and he may weigh O'SuIlivan and
Lannigan against Doctor Healy and
Cardinal Moran, or lColgan and
O'Flaherty against Heating and
O'Hanlon- Or he may weigh Profess
sor Bury and Sir John Rhys against
them all Whatever the merits of
the question it cannot be dOgmatic
assertion on either side. But eyen
if st. Patrick had been born in what
is now called Scotland or Britain,
in neither case could il be claimed
that he was what is meant by either
of the modern terms, '-Scotchman"
or anglo Saxon" The word SeOtus
in those days meant Irishman pure
and simple, and was only given 10
Scotland owing TO the Irish colonies
which undertook civilizing work on
her west coast (Argyie means liter
ally Arergaedhal. the land OF the
Irish). As for the ~Angio-Saxon," I

is safe TO describe ST. Patrick as
a Romanized Celt. whether he was
born in Irish-ScotIand, Celtic Brit

touch and understanding with both ,
the Roman idea and GaeldOm- He

IT. PATRICK'S PLACE
OF BIRTH LONG
In DISPUTE

ROM Boston a bitter cry that
l. the mention of a Scotch birth
place for st. Patrick is not TO
be tolerated. The controversy
is an old one, and this is not place
for taking sides, so we will merely
present the rival views TO the inter-
ested reader. 1t would appear that,
like Homer, more than one spot is
prepared to do battle for the honor
of being Patrick's birthplace-Scot-
land, Wales and Brittany being all
contestants.
First let our well-read correspond
ent speak:
81 have read every author worth
reading on the question and with
only one desire, namely, to find out
the truth, and have no more doubt
on the question that he was born In
Brittany than I have that he was
real live human being. English and
Scotch desire to appropriate every
thing and everybody worth while, is
the cause of the error in the case.
For every line that can be said
about his French birth one hundred
are written on the British Qsland)
side, but such claimants have no
critical argument on their side. 1t
is all a part of the so-called anglo
Saxon" propaganda, and 1 hope that
when the paper again alludes TO the
question, it will go into the facts
of the case, which the Scotch claim
ants never do. See Heating, O'Han-
lon, Professor Moore (PrOtestant),
Lannigan, Don Philip O'Sullivan,
Father Morris, Canon Fleming, Miss
Cusack, Father O'Farrell and host
of others, for the full analysis OF
the case. Then read the best that
can be said on the Scotch side by
Archbishop Healy; read Professor
Bury for a complete disposal Of Doc

of his life. He was a centenarian wait

to his eyes the career OF the Apostle
OF Ireland was a blend of human
worthlessness made capable of lofty
achievement by the call of God. 1t Is
a great mans humble estimate of his

It'll correct as to the humble beginning,
and the mighty accomplishment, and
the abiding of humility in the bosom

Not without reason has the name of
ST. Patrick been held In veneration
through these many generations.
There is nowhere a teacher whose
services for learning exerted so wide
an influence In time SO critical for
ali culture. There is nowhere a states
man whose activity SO completely
reformed the character of any people
There is nowhere such national hero
whose fame is sounded across fifteen
centuries and can still stir emotions of
ardent enthusiasm far beyond bis

WHEAT PRICES SENT

chiefly the result Of government ac-
ton which made millions Of bushels
of Canadian wheat in the United
states free Of duty and which opened
the door for importing without limit
wheat into this country from Can
ada. After a day Of tumult, the
market closed unsettled, z IL to ~

provisions AZ to $1.02.
Violently contrasting conditions
faced the wheat trade at the opening
as compared with the bullish outlook
Of the day before. Instead Of a
dearth of wheat for immediate de-
livery and to fill May contracts, the
prospect had altered SO radically
over night that Indications pointed to
a possibility Of large shipments to
Minneapolis and Chicago from Win

should prove insufficient to remove
any existing stringency. In conse-
quence, it was nearly as difficult to
