All of His Own Race.

One enthusiastic writer tells US that
"in New York today an Irishman may
rise in the morning and bathe in the
water from Croton dam, built by Irish
james Coleman; breakfast on Cudahy
bacon, then take the subway, planned
by John Mcdonald, past the College
of the City Of New York, built by
Thomas Dwyer, to his office in sky
scraper built by John d. CrimminS.
Arrived at his office, he may cable to
Alaska over telegraph line laid by
David Lynch, order certain freight
sent by James J. Hills Great North
ern railway, and then may rest and
read William Laftins New York Sun,
delivered by the American News COM
pany, founded by Patrick Farrelly.
Then, If it happens to be springtime,
he may lean from his window and toss
Il coin to the hurdy-gurdy man who
plays st. Patrick's Day."

Four or Five.Leaved Shamrock

Some say the four-leaf shamrock Is
the shamrock Of luck, and others that
1t Is the five leaved one that holds the
magic touch. This latter Is rare and
priced and is said to grow from a de-
caying body, as the 'nettle is said to
spring from buried human remains.
The shamrock of luck must be found
without searching, without seeking"
When thus discovered, 1t should be

1T WAS the foundation of st. Pat
rick's greatness that his renova-
ton of Ireland was not a revolu
ton. He left old institutions and
traditions untouched, wherever they
could be purged Of taint of super
stition. There were septs and clans,
laws and judges, bards and kings be-
fore him, and they continued after
him. He built his church carefully.
To disarm political opposition he ap-
pealed straight to the heads of the
clans. He aimed at the creation of
a native clergy. He tried to give ev-
cry community n place Of worship. At
his death 1865 churches lay along the
routes his journeys had taken; 365
bishops were distributed throughout
the land, 5000 priests ministered to
the spiritual wants Of the nation. He
attempted to throw into the church
thus suddenly created a strong element
of stability by systematizing it on the
models of the canons and making &C.
clesiastical law effective In every de-
partment.
He did not believe In sanctity un-
associated with education. Under him
religion created great monasteries, and
monasteries created great schools. BY
those schools st. Patrick is u factor
in the history of Europe. Even be-
fore he went to Ireland he had seen the
days when Ostrogoths established
themselves in Pannonia and Thrace,
when the Visigoths sacked the Italian
peninsula from end to end and carved
out Spanish kingdom within the do
mains of great Rome, when the Huns
rode their blazing course up the Dan
ube and the Rhine almost to the
ocean; when the Vandals terrorized
Spain and crushed the power Of the
empire in northern Africa, when the
Salian Franks took flrm grip of north
ern Gaul. His long life stretches over
period during which the whirlwind
Of barbaric invasions swept away all
but remnant of the ancient learn
ings. But now the world went to
school to Ireland, and the Irish brought
their school to the world. Religion,
the ancient classics, law, history, nat
ural science, agriculture, manual
training, the use of implements and
the forge, all came within the scope
of these intense and practical schol-
ars.
Not without reason has the name of
St. Patrick been held in veneration
through these many generations.
There is nowhere teacher whose
services for learning exerted so wide
an influence in time so critical for
nll culture. There is nowhere n states
man whose activity so completely re-
formed the character Of any people.
There Is nowhere such n national hero
whose fame As sounded across fifteen
centuries and can still stir emotions
of enthusiasm far beyond his nations
shores. There Is nowhere saint
whose teachings are blended like his
with the destinies of his nation.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Oct. 26.-However great may
be the praise bestowed on the French
troops for the brillisney of their VIC
tory over the Germans north of the
Aisne this week, it is too small an
appreciation Of their Herculean efforts
in the face of one of the most difficult
tasks of the war. Fronting them were
the finest divisions of the German
Crown Princes army. occupying posi-
tions that were strongly fortified.
The French line now runs along the
southeastern side of the AisneOise
Canal without break from westward
of Vauxaillon TO Pargny-Filain, while
the town of Filain has been completely
dominated. The correspondent to-day
watched the French infantry men who,
after four days of almost uninterrupted
fighting. were busily employed digging
themselves in along the new front.
Notwithstanding privations and suffer
ing from weather conditions. with icy
cold transforms drenching them at in
tervals, they worked with pick and
shovel as energetically as they had
done with rife and grenade during the
furious battle.
The German artillery, which showed
activity last evening, was quieter to-
day because the French batteries had
mastered it. The French superiority
in this arm is demononstrated by the

Officer Who Injured Colo.

AT my age, birthdays do not matter

welt yesterday, in explaining why to-
day, his ffty-ninth birthday, will be
passed at his Oyster Bay home, much
as is any other Saturday. Some OF
his grandchildren may spend the day
with him, but otherwise there will be
nothing to alter the routine OF AN
elderly gentleman OF quiet literary
tastes"
"As a matter Of fact" said Mr..
Roosevelt yesterday, Il had quite 1or-
gotten that tomorrow Is my birthday
until somebody called my attention
to IT,"
When the ColonePs attention was
called to the admission by Colonel Dan
T. Morgan. of the 310th Coast Artil-
lery. that he must have been the ofhcer
whose blow cost him the sight OF MS
left eye, he said this was the case.
As Colonel Morgan tells the story, ne

the blow until he saw a report OF tne
Colonel's talk with his newspaper
friends at Jack Cooper's Stamford
place last Sunday. :.

Only three men were wounded by she'll

The French guns now are able TO en-

and along the valley to Laon and
through the Ailette Valley, menacing

saw utter defeat staring them in the

Of Italy has strengthened in both
Latin countries complete confidence
that they will cooperate together Tor
their mutual interest and for the good
of humanity. The traditional friend
ship of the two nations will certainly
bring about the triumph Of the Latin
genius. The visit Of the King of Italy
to the King Of Belgium has been an
other witness of the feelings of the
Italian people toward the heroic people
who have stood the severest trial OF
the war"
Turning to the Papal peace note.
Baron Sonnino said; $50 far as the
Pontiff expresses the opinion that peace
must be maintained and means devised
whereby no nation can break the peace
of the world, his appeal finds complete
echo in all the civilized world, but when
one reads the Papal note carefully one
finds that it lays precision just as
much as the notes Of our enemies.
Zone needs only to read the latest
speeches of the German and Austrian
ministers" he continued, "to realize
that it is absolutely impossible to enter
into any negotiations with the Central
Powers-who have carefully avoided to
express any clear basis for an under
standing and have avoided TO engage
their word on any point whatsoever"

The explosions are believed 70 have

Minister Sonnino reviewing the inter-

Pope's peace proposal pro-German and
declaring the intention of Italy and her
Allies to fight until victory is won.
All references to the Allies were
greeted with enthusiasm, and when the
Foreign Minister spoke of the visit
Of the King Of Italy to the King OF
Belgium, the entire chamber rose to
applaud. The minister also expressed
his belief in the ability of the new
Russian democracy to settle It's IN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Approval
has been given by the War Department
to Ignace Paderewski's project Of rails
ing Polish legion of 100000 men in
this country for service in Europe. In
announcing this to-day Secretary Baker
explained that the force will mot be

1t is against the policy OF the de-
partment to admit such special organ

army. Aid in the way Of equipment
and training, however, probably will be
given the Poles,
1t is not known here whether it is
proposed to use the legion in France
or on the Eastern front.
