AN EXAMPLE OF LOYALTY.

The writer in his communication yesterday gave Us strong example of loyalty that one should have for ones adopted country; and there is no doubt his voice is the true echo of all his compatriots. For the last two years an attempt has been made to create an impression that the Trish-Americans were divided as to the right of the combatants across the water. On this sub iect we have nothing to say, but when America ia involved, whether entirely or only partly right none need question what side the Irish h-Americans shall be from the beginning to the finish and should an occasional traitor be found; point him out. they'll attend to him. That is the kind of citizen America is proud of---men with hearts in the right place.

A GRATIFYING RESULT.

The result of the charity ball, the proceeds of which went to the Belgian Relief fund, may be said to have been exceedingly gratifying. Had the same result been obtained year or so ago. there would have been no special reason to be elated but today when we are at war and every thing has increased to the extent of threatening us with starvation. the result by reason thereof is remarable and we may well be all puffed up over it. Everybody took part; not only in pur
 chasing tickets but in boosting the affair. The people realized that even though it was risky to send anything to the poor little children, due to the barbarous warfare that is being carried
 the water. They took the view that the attempt to relieve suffering humanity was equal to re- lief morally since the viii was there. The people did their duty and should the sufferers be ore vented from receiving the relief, it shall not be said that the ary of hunror was heard by Ketch- il5an people but received no response. And as much as we wish that the poor little children mey receive our offering we are helpless to do any more unless it be to hope that the gift that came from the heart shall reach its destination
