meath the shadow of the Alps, won his
way as a soldier of fortune through
the warlike regions on both sides of
the silvery Rhine, on through the land
of the Angles brittany, where he saw
all about him the signs of the conquer
ing power of the legions of his own
masterful nation.
At last he crossed the seas and
reached an island of wondrous beauty,
an emerald set on the brow of the
sea, and here he saw no sign of the
Roman conqueror; nothing to remind
him of his native land. So here at
last Longinus rested from the dreary
journey, and here among the kindly
Gael he made his home and found hap
peiness. Here, too, the story runs, he
became the founder of the royal house
of Hy-Nial later O'Neil, of which the
kindly Neial of the Nine Hostages,
killed by lightning while leading his
armies at the foot of the Alps, was
scion, and whose crest emblazoned the
Red Hand of Ulster. Tradition also
has it that st. Longinus preached the
Gospel in several places in Europe,
thus disproving the Irish legend.
Another though in detail widely diff
fering, touches on the same subject,
and this is embalmed in A. M. Sulli-
vans story of Ireland. 1t tells of one
of Ireland's ancient kings, Connal Mac
Mesa, who in battle had been struck
in the head by a missile known as "the
death ball." 1t remained embedded in
his head, but did not produce death.
A Druid, however, told him that
wine or anger would cause instant
death. One day one of Patrick's mis-
sionaries told him the story of Christ,
and the fine old pagan kings ire broke
forth like torrent. Springing to his
feet, he drew his skien (short sword)
and waving it aloft, cried aloud, Had
been there would have struck thus
for that kindly Cod" And with blow
he smote limb from tree close
by. At the same moment the death
ball sprang from his forehead and
King Connal Mac Mesa was dead.

IRELAND'S FOOD
PROBLEM.

w HlAS lLC SllttuOW VI 1dlllAl1S
hangs over ireland the paternal
Government is doing everything
it can do for the Irish people.
In consultation, and at the re-
quest of the Food Comptroller,
they have decided that no one in
ireland can export potatoes with
out license, says The Leader.
In other words, while there is
a potato famine in Ireland, cer-
tain people will be licensed to ex-
port potatoes, and these will have
the power to fix the market price,
defy competition, and drain Ire
land of the last remnants of the
food supply.
There is no doubt about it that
the next few months will be the
most difficult that Ireland has
gone through since ~, and if
some steps are not taken to check
expectation of the food still re-
naming in the country, there will
be a famine.
There is no use in appealing to
the Government to do anything.
With the English population al
most on the verge of starvation,
it is too much to expect that they
will prohibit the importation of
supplies from Ireland, and the
Irish Party has neither the power
nor the will to compel Parliament
to do anything.
There is one, and only one, pol
icy for the Irish people to adopt,
and that is to hold the food in the
country at any price; even if lives
are lost in the attempt to hold it,
it would be on1y'a drop compared
to the number that would be lost
through starvation if the food is
allowed to leave the country.
The people are by no means
dispirited or disheartened; they
were never in better form to look
after their own interests, and they
only need proper guidance.
We trust that they will set
about making the best Of their
economic conditions, according to
their own lights, and that they
will let no Government rule bind
them.
They should make no sacrifice
to retain live stock which they
are unable to feed, in spite of any
law to the contrary, and they
should fight, if necessary, to pro-
tect food and forage from being
commandeercd by the British
Army.
If England is going to maintain
an army of occupation in Ireland
there is nothing so good as to
make that army as big as pos
sible, and the smashing of all
English laws in Ireland will be an
economic advantage as we'll as a
DO1itica1 one.

WAS 1T ALL FOR
HUMANITY'S SAKE?

HUMANITY'S SAKE?
The meeting Of January sixth
in the Minneapolis Auditorium
held to protest gainst the depor-
tation of Belgians, has created
considerable dissention among
the citizens of Minneapolis, who
believe that while there was d
wrong committed by Germany in
their action towards the Belgians,
there was more evidence that the
meeting was not prompted by the
sentiments of humanity but by
hatred of Germany by clique
of pro-English sympatlnizers, who
through the assistance of the To-
cal press worked up a sentiment
and a we'll advertised meeting.
That there we're many present
who were sincere, there is no
doubt and if the purpose of the
meeting had been carried out as
advertised, The Irish Standard
would not hesitate for moment
to assist it on its way to success.
But it was too evident from
some of the speeches and espc-
cially from the kilograms read
from prominent men from the
east, who, ever since the first gun
was fired, have been the princi-
pal agitators for American inter-
vention, and it seems that their
one desire has been to get Amer
lean manhood before the guns of
the German Entente, they them
selves, passed the middle age, will
do no fighting, but they want the
youth of America to fight for
England.
Under the name of American
Rights Committee or some other
disguise, the same men have used
the same methods to stir up trou-
bic. If they were actuated by
considerations of humanity, they
would long have protested
against the Russian rule of terror
in East Prussia. Girls were out
ragged by drunken Cossacks, thou
sands of civilians, old men, wom-
en- and children, were dragged in
to Siberia and abandoned to their
fate. Wanton destruction was
the rule. In their retreat the Rus
SLAMS burned everything in their
path and left trail of blood. .,
But where was Root, Roose-
welt, ct al, to protest then; no
pious eyes were uplifted to heav-
Ell and no appeal was made to
the spirit of humanity in the
American people. These patriot
ic leaders of humanity were busy
about that time under one pretext
or other in arousing public SYM
pathy against Germany OH the
plea that the Belgians who were
sniping Germans soldiers from
hedges and barns were the VIC
Tins OF fanatical persecution and
barbarian acts of retribution. 1t
required the evidence of men like
ex-Mayor Mcclellan, ex-senator
Beverage, Sven Hedin and i'm
partial American correspondents
to check the campaign of libel
and poisoned falsehood, to make
the American people come to
their senses, and to appraise their

will not reach us by cable. Here
is very significant statement
injected into the cablegram with
which we are dealing: Then fol-
lows a recital of the trials Greece
has suffered from the war which,
on account of the censorship, it
is useless to attempt to cable"
We have here a sample of the
way in which the British Govern
ment avails itself of its control
of the transatlantic cables.
1t would tell against England if
the details of her shameful treat
ment of Greece appeared in the
American press. Therefore the
part of King Constantine's mes
sage to the President dealing
with them has not been cabled to
this side of the Atlantic. Some
of them have reached this coun-
try by way of Paris. For in
stance, on the last day of the old
| year the Ministers of Great Brit
ain, France and Russia presented
to the Greek Government note
demanding certain guarantees
and reparation. A demand was
made that all Greek military forces
outside of the southern part
of Greece shall be reduced to Il
number strictly necessary for po-
lice duty. Remember that Greece
is an independent and sovereign
state. England and her Allies
have as much right to dictate to
the United States what DISPOSE
ton it must make of its military
forces as they have to tell little
Greece how many soldiers it must
have stationed near Athens.
A demand, also, was made for
the immediate release from prison
of all persons convicted of high
treason for having plotted against
the Greek Government. Let us
keep in mind that the release of
these prisoners is demanded by
foreigners. The dismissal Of the
commander of the first army
corps is required because the
troops under him fought the SOL
diers of the Allies in the streets
of Athens. Family, the Greek
Government is to make apologies
to the Allies Ministers and flags
at some public spot in Athens.
Until all these orders are COM
piled with the warships of the Al
lies will continue to blockade
the coast of Greece.
All this shameful treatment is
inflicted upon a weak nation be-
cause it desires to hold aloof from
a war that is devastating Europe.
England and her Allies who are
guilty of inflicting these wrongs
have the hardihood to pose be-
fore the world as champions of
the freedom of small nationali-
ties. One of the reasons they
give for rejecting Germany's
peace proposal is thus stated by
them:
"Once again the Allies declare
that no peace is possible so long
as they have not secured repara-
ton for violated rights and lib
critics, the recognition of the prin-
ciples of nationalities, and the
free existence of small States"
At the very moment these
words were penned, the national
rights of Greece were trampled
upon ruthlessly by England and
her Allies. Could we have a more
glazing sample of hypocrisy than
is furnished by the contrast be-
tween England's professions of
solicitude for small States and
her treatment of little Greece?

bilization of state troops in emergency cases.
 Carhart first preached the idea two years ago to the adjutant general of Oklahoma, who at that time did not believe it feasible on account of poor road conditions. However, Lindley M Garrison, then secretary of the war department, few days later recom- mended the plan to congress in his annual report and MT. Carhart went forward on his own initiative and or ganized Willys- owners into volunteer reserve corps companies in Oklahoma City, Nowata, Ardmore, Ada and other cities.
 The Oklahoma plan is to include, in each company, Willys- Overland own CTS and their cars, headed by a cap tain. When ten companies are formed a meeting of captains is held and fleet officers elected and rules adopted. In many cases the cruising radius of each company is confined to county bound aries, or from one county seat to an- other, in order to minimize the in- convenience of owners and the wear and tear on their cars.
 The Los Angeles plan is similar to that of Oklahoma eyce0t that the com pany is composed of Willys- Overland

GOODYEAR FIRM WILL ASSIST IN
 RAISING FOODS

Complying with the wartime call from Washington to protect the food supply" the Goodyear Tire and Rub Der company is already getting into intensive agriculture, in addition to it's many other activities. Every foot of ground the company owns and that is not needed immediately for building purposes will be placed under cultiva- tion at once. Fortunately the company has available many hundreds of acres of rich land right now. This land, which was acquired recently, surrounds a lake which is to. be used to form a big reservoir for supplying water to the factory.
 The Wingfoot Clan. GoOdyear's fac tory newspaper describes the patriotic venture thus:
 The work will be in charge of the labor department Goodyear men who wish outdoor work and who wish to undertake this patriotic worll for the growing season are requested to fill in the blank below and send it in.
 "The land at Fritch's Lake com prises farm land, orchard and wood land. Over one hundred acres can be cultivated immediately and we can quickly clear any additional land needed Between fifty and sixty acres is the finest muck and will grow huge crops of onions and like garden pro- duce. The principal crops will be po tatoes, navy beans, wheat, corn, peas, etc.
 Bunk houses will be erected at the lake to house the men at work on the farm"
 Goodyear offers this as a suggestion to other patriotic manufacturers who have tillable land now lying idle. In addition to becoming a farmer itself. the company advises every one of it's employees who has home to plant all the garden possible this year. The editor says in conclusion: Every bit of food which can be raised is needed to prevent a scarcity of foods and an even higher cost of living than we are now experiencing, during the coming year"

Chance to Get on
in Navy Good, Says
Secretary Daniels

GREAT LAKES, Ill, Oct. 22.-Never
in its history has the navy presented
to the enlisted personnel such remark
able opportunities for promotion. Sec
rotary Daniels declared today in an
address 10 $4,000 sailors at the Great
Lakes training station
The door of opportunity has been
opened wide to the enlisted men, said
the secretarrr. The chance for pro-
motion never was so good as it is to-
day. There was the time, not SO long
ago, when few men who entered the
navy could hope to attain commiss-
ion. From 1909 to 1912 only three
were appointed to commissioned rank.
Since the war began sos warrant
officers have been commissioned as
ensigns and 1,272 enlisted men have
been made warrant officers. believe
these officers who have been prom oted
from the ranks will prove their compe-
tencec and worth and l expect that
when the war is over those who have
made good can be continued in the
rank which they have attained and be
in line for steady promotion"
Secretary Daniels commended the
officers of the station for the system
they have evolved for fitting men for
active duty afloat at station located
thousand miles from tidewater.

Sen, HUSTINC is
SHOT BY BROTHER

MINIATURES. Oct 22.-The body
of Paul 0. Husting, Junior United
States senator from Wisconsin who
was killed accidentally yesterday by
his brother, Gustaye, while duck hunt
ing on Rush Lake. near Ripon, was
being prepared here today for burial,
which probably will be at Mayyille
his home.
Mingled with the grief over the SEN
ator's tragic death, there is wide
spread speculation throughout the
state concerning his successor. Tn
der the laws of Wisconsin,, Governor
Philip, a Republican, has the power
10 fill the vacancy until successor
TO Senator Husting, who was & Demo
crat. is elected at a special election.
which the governor has the power to
call, or a general election.
Senator Husting and his brother
were rowing in separate boats when
the tragedy occurred, the beat Of the
former being just ahead. The senator
saw flock of ducks and called to his
brother to shoot. Then he suddenly
rose from a STOPPING position, evident
ly thinking the shot would pass over
his head. His brother, aiming at the
ducks. pulled the trigger. Senator
Husting was in direct line with the
shot, and the full charge penetrated
his back at close range.
