Coming rine.
Contestants are getting busy.
New subscriptions are coming in
fast.
2l, 100 is the number of votes cast
this week. Considering this is early
in the work the contest surely shows
the proper signs of lively bit good
natured rivalry from the very be-
ginning.
No belittling the fact, things have
happened in the contest during the
past week which have been very
pleasing. Contestants and their
friends have shown the proper dis
position to secure businessmen sub
scribers, old subscribers to renew,
and advertising contracts. This is
just what makes it encouraging for
this paper to offer such liberal prizes.
The record we have had in the
past in running contests has made
all pleased, giving a square deal, and
makes it possible in this contest to
have the largest and best list of par
ticipants of any yet held.
Several new nominations this week
means business. Miss Humphrey
still leads but no one can tell who
will be ahead next week.
Next week the announcement of
the extra offer will be made. 1t will
please the hustlers and will be one
of the biggest inducements ever in
troduced.
Below is the list of candidates and
the number of votes:

Protest Against
Term, Protestant
The Church Of England Regards Such
Designation as Obnoxious
"R. |. p" Inscription on
Crosses on Graves Of Sol
diers Not Objectionable.

London, October 20.-A British gen.
eral on the western front finds his
men so imbued by the Catholic tradi-
tion which is all. around them that
those in charge of the cemetery have
been carving "R. l. F." (Requiescat
in Pace) on all the wooden crosses
of the military cemeteries in the vi
cinity, regardless of the religion of
the soldier who rests beneath.
The general, thinking this might
shock the feelings of Protestant rela-
tives, has issued an order that r. l. P.
is only to be put on the crosses of
Catholic soldiers. The Anglican
Church Times is so angry o&er this
order that it gives itself away unwit-
tingly. First it launches out against
the deprivation of an appeal for eter-
nal rest suffered by Anglican dead,
and then it RACES that Anglicans and
Nonconformists should be grouped In
the same category.
Abandoning all pretense, 1t says that
"The Church of England refuses to
be Protestant" If this is the case
the sooner she makes her submission
to the Holy See the better.

DIVISION NO. 4, A. o. H., INVESTS
$500 IN LIBERTY BONDS
Many Individual Members Also Sub
scribe for Uncle Sans Securities.

At largely attended meeting of
Division No. 4, Ancient Order of Hi
bernians, held or Tuesday evening
last at their hall, Plymouth avenue
and Third street north, a motion was
adopted providing for the purchase
of five hundred dollars of the new
Liberty bond issue. The meeting was
also canvassed for individual sub.
scrptions and nearly every man pres.
ent signed an application for fifty
dollars or more of the new national
securities. The $500 subscription will
be paid for out of funds now in the
treasury. 1t did not require much
urging to secure this action, either on
the part of the division or the indi-
sidual membership, for the organiza.
tion yields to no other in the quality
of its American loyalty. The division
is the largest of the ten Hennepin
county divisions and has roster of
about 500. James McConville, the
president, is we'll known in the Twin
Cities, by reason of his connection
with the Hibernians ard other frater-
nal organizations.

will pay much attention to the warn
ing of Premier Lloyd George. The
newspaper believes the warning may
have to be enforced unless at this late
hour some scheme can be devised to
make Irishmen themselves RESPONSE
BILE for the preservation of law and
order. The Daily Mail, accordingly,
suggests the following:
THAT the convention be invited to
take upon itself the responsibility for
nominating small body of Irishmen
to carry on the government in Ireland
until the convention has either reached
an agreement or adjourned indefi.
nitely. The great need of the moment
is to get management of Irish af-
fairs into Irish hands as whatever is
done by English authority is sure to
be misunderstood and resented"

London, Oct. 25-The seriousness
of the situation in Ireland is insisted
upon by correspondent of the Daily
Mail, who has been following the Sim
Fein doings for several weeks. He
says the whole of West Ireland is on
the verge of armed rebellion, and that
the question of conscription is causing
the trouble, and continues:
"The young priests in Professor De
Valeras train have suddenly awakened
to the danger of the spark they helped
to kindle; and are now trying to quench
it, but fear it has gone too far. The
militant Sim Feiners are at the top
of their stride. They have been al
lowed to carry their program to pitch
which it seems almost hopeless to
break by pacific means.
"The Sim Feiners are sublime)y
confident, and say that Tuesdays de.
bate in parliament shows plainly the
government is afraid Of them"

arrangements are being made for
arms to be landed again and we know
that it is partly done by Won Bern
storff. Second, a thing no government
can permit is organization for rebel
lion"
After referring to the drilling and
the marching going on in Ireland and
the expectations of De Valera, the
premier declared that what was going
on in Ireland was a deliberate at
tempt to enroll and drill thousands of
young men-who in England would
have been compulsory enlisted-in
preparation for rebellion.
The third point was that there was
q deal of talk in Ireland among the
Sim Feins leaders. which, said the
premier, did not mean home rule or
self-government, but separation or se-
cession. There was demand for the
sovereign independence of Ireland,
and, declared the premier: I'VE had
better say at once that under no con-
,ditjons will Great Britain permit any
thing of that kind"

Duke that the convention was on the

announced that while the constitution

the highest interests of Ireland and
the empire demand the creation of am

question:
The secretary did not complain of
the motion or of Mr.. Redmonds criti-
cisms, but felt that all the action
taken by the administration in Ireland
was justified.
The Irish convention, he declared,
was a working demonstration of the
fact that, if given a fair chance, Irish
men could administer their own af-
fairs.
Government Policy Defended.
He defended the Irish policy gener-
