BERLIN, March 22.-(By wireless
to The United Press)-Russia is in
confusion Anarchistic agitation
against continuance of the war is
growing. The workingmen have re-
fused to respond to appeals that they
resume work.
This information reached here to-
day via Stockholm. 1t indicated the
provisional government is far from
being in control of the situation
that discipline in the army has relax.
ed and that various factional differ
ences now smouldering may again
break out.
According to the Stockholm infor-
nation, the streets Of Petrograd are
filled with speakers spreading social
ist propaganda and working against
the present provisional government.
Anar2histic pamphlets have wide
spread circulation Some Of the old
officials are aiding in this
distribution.
The Petrcgrad police have been re-
placed by students. whose authority
is not respected by the masses OF
the people, the reports state.
The behavior OF the soldiers on the
streets Of the Russian capital shows
utter laxity. Men refuse TO salute
officers and seem to lack control. The
populace has been moved to pitch
of excitement where there is no telling
what they may do. Travellers arrfv-
ing in Stockholm declare that four
thousand persons have been killed in
rioting in Petrograd and 1000 wound
ed.
Particular significances attaches to
the above story in view of the fact
that it was Berlin that gave first word
of the revolution by which the czar's
regime was overthrown. Various
stories from Petrograi have indicated
only slight differences of opinion
among revolution leaders. but the new
is in control of the cen
sorship and presumably has made use
of the elaborate censorship machinery
left hy the cid regime.
The fact that the allied govern
ments have so far withheld recogni-
tion OF the new Russian government,
coupled with disinclination OF British
statesmen to comment on the sftua-
ton. may be further indications that
conditions in Russia are still very
ser:ous.]

DRIVEN FROM THEIR COUNTRY
Barbarous Penal Code Was the Cause
Of Many freshmen Forsaklng
Their Own Soil.

Some writer has said "that during
the eighteenth century in Ireland the
chief social feature was political OPP
preston and emigration" The treaty
of Limerick was signed October 8,
1891, but despite the protests Of King
William, who was apparently brave
soldier and an able statesman, the
treaty was soon ignored as a mere
scrap Of paper. The odious, barbarous,
prescriptiye legislation known as the
penal code was in full swing shortly
after 100, and large contingents, rep
resenting the flower of Irish manhood
and chiyalry, began to fly to the con-
tinent of Europe and the shores Of
America. These unhappy children of
10, maddened by the English gadfy,
fled into all lands, carrying with them
a memory that enabled them to recog-
nize the gadfy wherever encountered,
and spirit that prompted them to
swat it remorselessy whenever it
crossed their path.

IRISH LOVE OF EQUALITY
In Some Ways II Has Tended to Pre-
vent a Closer Unlfication of
the Great Race.

The art and literature Of the Celt
naturally is pure, noble, moral, re-
fined and idealistic Besides, his love
of equality has a leveling effect, and
a tendency to uniformity Of social and
economic ideals. This love of equal
ity has, however, prevented closer
unifcation of the Irish race in matters
vital to it's independence as a separ-
ate and distinct people. Their sensi-
tiveness, it must be admitted, is the
real reason why, Notwithstanding their
acknowledged valor, they lost their in
dependence; and mainly because OF
this natural instinct, they cannot and
never could accept conquerors or mas
tiers with that humility that would
have lulled suspicion and created
new starting point for successful
dash and break for independence.
This sensitiveness absolutely prevents
forgetfulness, and the hatred engen-
dered by centuries of persecution can
not be dulled or dispelled by promises
made in extremes. You may ,clothe
the Irish in rags, as Curran said, but
thev will not wear chains.

tor Healy's theories, and then ask
yourself If there is shadow Of the
Scotch claim left. Yet we are con-
tinually dlnned with the dogmatic
assertion that "St. Patrick was born
In Scotland"
On the other hand, to quote from
Archbishop Healy Of Tuam:
"Philip O'Sullivan Beare, a man
of learning and authority, declared
that Patrick was born in Bretagne.
He was the first writer of note who
put forward that opinion, for no an
cient writer known to us ever adj
vanced it." The difficulty has been
to settle where exactly Bonnavem
Taberniae is, which is the town Pat
rick mentions In his Confession"
as his home.
Lannigan believed in a French but
not a Breton birthplace. Doctor
Healy states that his view was a
modification of O'Sullivan's. HE
says that the Bonnavem Taberniae
of the confession was the same town
as Boul0gne-sur-mer, In Picardy and
was the birthplace of our saint. But
the confession does not state that
Bonnavem Taberniae was Patrick's
birthplace, but that it was the place
where his father had a villa from
which he himself was carried OFF a
captive"
Doctor Healy himself states: ut
appears to us to be quite clear from
the account the saint gives Of him
self that he was native of the Ro-
man province of Britain, and in all
probability was born on the banks
of the Clyde in Scotland"
To turn now to Professor Bury.
He writes as follows in his "St. Pat
rick" "In the absence of any trace
of Bannaventa In north British
regions, we must, think, give deci-
sive weight to the general probabili-
ties of the case and suppose that
Bannaventa was south of the Wall
of Hadrian somewhere in western
Britain, not far from the coast"
After his book was in press he
received communication from Pro-
fessor Rhys, which led him to add

known as the anti-picketing bill. This
measure has the endorsement of the

states, as well as individual cities,
have law of this kind, and wherever
an anti-picketing law has been en-
forced the industries. of that particu.

Governor Rye as soon as 1t reached
him, Fred Johnson, J. Parks Worley
and others we're present when the
governor affixed his signature. This
charter for the East Tennessee city,
which has grown from 200 to 5000 in
the short space of three years, is the
very latest thing in modern munich

Always Of Lofty ideals.

The Celt undoubtedly was the most
purely moral and religious of all the
barbaric races, and this necessarily
grew out of his lofty ideals and lively
imagination, which demanded pleas
ures of mind rather than thought of
future food and raiment. This made
for improvidence, but who will say the
gain is not greater than the lossI

semI.MonthIy Pay Day.

A bill which has met the universal
approval of the workingmen of Ten.
nessee is the semi-monthly pay day
measure, which passed the lower
house by a large majority. The bill
provides for the semi-monthly pay
ment of employees and Is expected to
bring some relief, especially among
railroad employees in Tennessee. The
present high cost of living and the
fact that most business among labor
ing men is done on a cash basis have
accentuated the need OF more equal
ly divide dperiod of pay, and the bill
was the partial outgrowth of that
necessity,
