Regarding Questionnaires.

Scores of letters are being re.
Ceived at the Office of the State
Draft Administration at Madison
and at the Office of Local Boards,
asking why questionnaires are sent
to boys who have already enlisted
and who have been inducted into
the military service.
Parents of some of these boys
have expressed a fear that their
sons might be subjected to incon.
venience by the publication of their
names as delinquents, even though
they are now in the military ser
vice.
In a recent statement Major Ed
ward A. Fitzpatrick pointed out
that local boards having know
ledge that person is already in
the service can prevent any in
justice.
He also pointed out, however,
that the government must protect
itself by sending the QUESTIONABLE
to all persons not inducted into
service by means of the draft. The
board cannot presume a condition
to be true as basis of action. Nor
can it assume that condition that
was true two months ago is true
today.
Numerous inquiries have been
received from parents, said Major
Fitzgerald, asking what should be
done with the QUESTIONABLE.
1t is absolutely essential that the
questionnaire should be forwarded
Immediately to the individual to
whom it is addressed, and the 10
cal board advised by mail that this
has been done.

RED CROSS CAMPAIGN
EXTENDED ANOTHER WEEK
Work Of Soliciting Members Will Be
Continued in Iron County Until
New Years Eve.

I Excellent results have b e n
achieved in Iron county since the
opening of the campaign for more
Red Cross members, and, while
the campaign was scheduled to
close Christmas Eve, so much work
remained to be done that it was de-
Cided to Continne the drive through
Christmas week and up until New
Years Eve, when the final an
nounCement will be made of the
result of the campaign in the coun-
ty. Figures showing the new men,
bers enrolled or the total member
ship to date were not available on
account of all the reports not being
in. Returns from outside towns in
the county show that the workers
have been busy with the result that
many new members have been add
ed and many who were already
members renewed their member
ship for another year or until next
Christmas. The result of the cam
paign in the village of Hurley so
far is gratifying but not up TO ex-
pectations. During the remaining
few days before the close of the
campaign it is expected that the
total membership i'll Hurley will be
considerably increased.

The new exemption of 81 600

practically every farmer, merchant,

The law makes it the duty of the
taxpayer to seek out the collector.
Many people assume that if an in.

are relieved from making report.
This is decidedly in error. 1t is the
other way around. The taxpayer
has to go to the government and if
he doesn't within the time pre-

There is no reason, therefore, why our
irish Members should not indulge in
plain speaking, and there is certainly
no lack of material. No doubt, they
will, at an early date, be faced with
the consumption issue, and self-pre-
servation alone will compel them to
fight this matter with all the resources
at their command, for there is not a

not at once raised in the House of

demanded. They have now been de-
prived of their liberty for more than
five months, and it would almost ap-
pear as if they were being forgotten.
We believe that the Irish Party can
compel their release but even if they
fail in doing that they can expose
the scandal which deprives men of
their liberty against whom no charge
has been made. We have read elo-
quent protests against the forcible de-
pOrtation of some of the inhabitants
of Lille, and we shall be willing to be-
lieve in the honesty of these protests
when justice has been done to the
large number of lrishmen who were
dragged from their homes and are
still forcibly detained in strange
country. We trust there will be no
delay on the part of the Irish Mem
bers in pressing home this question
and challenging the Government which
countenances such a gross invasion of
the liberty of the subject.-Freeman

THE IRISH PARTY
and THE RISING

Dealing with Mr. billions recent ex-
preston of respect for those who took
part in the rebellion of Easter Week,
the Catholic Bulletin, Dublin, writes:
If these are Mr.. Dillon's convictions
now, it may be asked why he did not
protest against the references by his
colleague, Mr.. Stephen Gwynn, at Gal
way, to "the men who shot down every
man in khaki in the streets of Dublin
whether he was able to de-
fend himself or whether he was hob.
bling down the street on a crutch.
It may be asked further how far Mr..
Dillon has acquiesced in the equally
cowardly Misrepresentation of the
Irish Volunteers by T. p. O'Connor
and Shane Leslie and similar party
conduits and mouthpieces and scribes.
Mr.. Dillon and his colleagues had
naught but taunts for the Irish Vol
unteers; when, a year ago, we sought,
and all responsible people desired, ma
tional cooperation for Eoin MacNeill
in maintaining the discipline that was
vital, and no response for honest criti-
cism but to call the critics offensive
names. They can no more evade re.
sponsibility for the rising than they
can obliterate the statements by "the
Irish leader" and the Orange leader"
distinctly revealed himself the poorer
Irishman of the two. We feel sure
there must have been laughter when
Mr.. Dillon declared: II never set
foot on recruiting platform and l
never would" Such equivocation is
no more calculated to enhance the rep
utation of public man than is Mr..
billions strange weakness for the Tenn
pie of New Theology in London, while
affecting at Swinford desire that
the priests and the people should trust
each other, as Mr.. T. P. O'Connor, not
unknown at the Temple, sometimes
affects a desire to consult "the leaders
of religious thought" about the cinema.
We thought Mr.. Dillon was on Mr..
Asquith's recruiting platform in Dub.

quoted him in our Christmas number
as having said in Whitefield's Taber.
nacle in November that he and his
leader" offered Lord Kitchener 10000
of the Volunteers as a stimulus to
recruiting; and we know further, on
the authority of Mr.. Redmond, that
when Kitchener turned their every
proposal down, the leader and his lieu
tenant fastened to Dublin to prefer
their services to General Friend. Now
according to the universal interpreta
ton of his words, Mr.. Dillon repudi
ates the recruiting activities Of his
colleagues, and even of his leader.

In a lengthy article, the Washing
ton Post pays the New York senator
high compliment, says he was "a lead.

the senate, possessed of a high order
of craftsmanship and admired by all
for his courage, and beloved for his

Senator O'Gorman did not seek the
senatorship. He left what was a life
position on the Supreme Bench of
New York to accept the nomination,
when the New York Democrats could
not agree on any other candidates.
He was a member Of the foreign af.
fairs committee for six years, and was
easily the ablest senator on that body.
He declined denomination, which was
rendered him, and refused to run,
though strongly urged to do so. In
the last exciting struggle over the
armed-ship bill, Senator O'Gorman ia,
vored arming ordinary merchant yes

ton carriers. He stood with Senator
Stone, chairman of the foreign affairs
committee, and Senator Cummins, al
so an eminent international lawyer
and held that to arm munitfon car
riers would be wrong.
He is succeeded by William M. Cal
der, Republican, of Brooklyn.
