The black stone, which measures
about six inches by eight, is believed
to have fallen from Paradise, to have
been guarded during the deluge and
handed to Abraham by Gabriel when
the Ka'aba was built. Certain parts
of the ceremonial-the throwing of
stones at the devil, and the imitation
of Hagar's distracted wanderings in
the desert, are supposed to have had
significance for the pre-Mohammedan
times as well as for Islam.

Meaning Of "America."

What does the word America"
mean? Few know. 1t is derived from
the word Amabric, a proper name
which represented the old Germanic
ideal of heroism and leadership. Then
the Norman French softened it to
Amaury. Then in Italy they changed
1t to Amelrigo. But the juxtaposition
OF the 81" and the "r' bothered the
Italians, and it became Amerrigo, and
finally with one ''r." Thus it became

They also represented Arthur James
Balfour, head of the British mission,
who sent message of greeting and
his regrets at being unable to be pres

There was no formal discussion of
any matter during the visit, which
lasted nearly three hours, but the sub.
ject of Home Rule for Ireland, the
cardinal said, was informally dis
cussed. Most Of the conversation, he
added, was devoted to personal topics.

the Holy Places.

Through Church sources it has been
learned from London that the British
Government has given strict orders
to General Sir Archibald Murray, in
command of the armies now fighting
in Palestine, on no account to injure
any of the Holy Places, or in any way
interfere with any OF the Shrines. In
the case of Jerusalem, which may be
captured at any time if the Allies
plans succeed, Sir Archibald has been
eEjoined to take particular care

the Irish situation, according to in
formation from high Vatican authori-

Official expression was unobtainable
but it was reiterated that the holy fa-
ther "emphatically endorses the rights
of small nations" This expression
was given significance as applying to
Ireland by announcement of the i'm
pending selection of Monsignor Coretti,
long student of Irish and American
affairs, as papal secretary of state for
extraordinary ecclesiastical affairs.
The new post does not affect Cardi-
nal Gasparri's work as papal secre~

IRELAND NOW SEES
war IN A LARGER
ANDCLEARERLIGHT
Anti-recruiting Propaganda Is Under
mined as U. S. Entry Broadens
Vision.

London. May 5.--That the entry of
the United States into the war may
influence a settlement of the Irish
problem -selfgovernment for Ireland
is now not only the subject of COM
ment in the Irish newspapers but is
forming an absorbing topic for etlitori-
ais and special articles in the North
cliffe press. notably the London Times.
1t is even suggested that America may
have direct hand in the settlement;
its influence in Irish affairs is said to
be shown in increased recruiting in
Ireland.
The Freeman's Journal, official Or
gan OF the nationalist party, says: "It
is quite true that nobody would expect
America to interfere in England's do
mestic differences, but as time goes on
it is unthinkable that America, fight
ing for the principle laid down by
President Wilson and having such a
large population OF lrisNmen in her
states, will not point out to England
the necessity of acting in accordance
with her own principles"
Should Visit ireland.
The Times suggests that il an Amer
lean contingent is sent to Europe il
should visit Ireland on it's way to
France. "The Irish people," it says,
are bewildered and almost paralyzed
by the new turn of events There is
an end to all talk OF 'England's war
and of sympathy with Germany.

cruiting propaganda is undermined.

PvRlEANs Invoke
! STRANGE DEITY
Preacher Petitions the God Of Ply
mouth Rock at Loyalty Meeting
The UnspeakabIe Cromwell as the
Prince Of Peace-BIasphemy on the
Almighty and Insult to Lovers of
Political and Religious Freedom.

There is irony in the proposition to
have a Worlds Fair in Boston in 1920
to commemorate the landing of the
Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock 1t is said
the promoters hope that the fair will
incidentally celebrate world peace
It may be that peace will have arrived
by the time of the fair. and that
would no doubt lend a spirit of JOY to
any public festivity. TO associate
peace with the landing of the Pilgrims
is grim humor.
At a recent loyalty meeting in one
of our large cities preacher invoked
the god of Plymouth Rock 1t was a
blasphemy on the Almighty and an in
suit to any one who has respect for
political or religious freedom. The
founder Of Puritanisln. the god of Ply
mouth Rock, was Oliver Cromwell. the
the earth since the days of Nero. He
and his soldiers ru:hlessly burned in
nocent women and children in their
llcmes, and with fiendish delight tossed
Irish babies into the air. to catch them
on their spears as they fell.
Coming to America. the Purtans
continued the Worship of their god
Cromwell. Their treatment Of all dis
senters copied after the pattern their
patron gave them in Ireland. They
knew neither charity nor mercy for
those who would not subscribe to their
fanaticisin. They established odious
religious tests and prosecuted or ban
ished all those who ventured to wor-
ship God in a different manner from
their own. One of the most pitiable
stories of the early days of America
is the story of young Roger Williams
wandering for more than three months
in the depths of New England win
ter through the wilderness until he
was received and saved by kindly
Indian When some Quakers came
into Massachusetts the Puritans
passed most severe and cruel laws
against them. Those who dared to en-.
ter the colony were condemned to lose
ders. to have their tongues burned
with hot irons, and on second offense
they we're hanged. The rack, the
thumb.screw and the gibbet were ia.
miliar furniture in those days.
There is little left of the old Puri
tan stock in New England. If they
wish to celebrate the landing at Ply.
mouth Rock no one can reasonably OBJ
ject. But It would be flying in the
face of history to associate it with any.
thing that savors Of political or re-
ligious freedom.
