I'm soon be ready to 60 back and

RIGHT OR WRONG,
OUR COUNTRY

There comes time in the life of
nations, as OF individuals, when the
issue is life or death, honor or shame.
Such q time now exists. Old preju-
dices, old suspicious, ancient wrongs,
the memory Of injustice and the ira
ditions of defeat are swept away
in the supreme test of loyalty to the
institutions of the great republic. The
conditions that now confront the ma
ton are not to be changed by words.
They can only be ruled by the sword.
rhe opinions of citizens are puerile; (;
the fiat Of the government at Wash
ngton is vital. There is one law
instant and unquestioning obedience
to the voice of authority. The man
who bubbles is fool; the man who
hesitates is a coward; the man who
Iefies is a traitor. A citizen is eth
er for America or against her. The
lime of choosing has passed forev-
err; the debate has closed; the die is
last, and the armed hosts now go
streaming forth to achieve that VIC
tory which can only be won thru the
sacrifice of precious lives. To those
Americans of Irish blood the slow
process of events which brought out
beloved country into alliance with
England were distressing. With
voice and pen all Americans of Irish
race strove to avert the impending
alliance. But there was no turning
back the hand of fate. There could
be no referendum under our consti-
tuition. The power of declaring war
rests with the senate and congress.
They exercised their prerOgatives in a
solemn session after. reviewing the
facts and listening to the words of
the president. When the choice was
made by the American government it
was made for every man, woman
and child under the American flag.
There is no turning back. The flag
is raised amid perils more fateful
than ever threatened our lives and
our freedom. No man or woman of
the Irish race can sulk in the tent
of bitter memories in this hour. No
man who treasures the story of this
mighty nation, and who reflects upon
the innumerable host which poured
across the sea to enrich America
during the last two hundred years, to
live for her and to die for her-no
man who remembers with thrill of
pride the immortal Irish names on
the scroll of American history-can
hesitate single instant in deciding
the path of duty. 1t would be a
strange phenomenon, indeed, for
lrishmen to doubt their duty to the
land of which they have ever been
proud and which has ever been proud
of them. Since the earliset exiles of
the green isle pushed back the In
dian on the frontier. thru success
sion of toll and danger, thru war
and peace, the glorious tradition of
Irish loyalty has been among the
most splendid of our heritages.-The
National Hibernian.

FRENCH TRADESMEN STUDY
ENGLISH FOR SANiMIES

PARIS, Aug. 3.-(By Mail.)--
1t has been suggested by a state
functionary, who resides in the zone
where the American army has taken
up its quarters, that the tradesmen
and officials of this district be made
to take course in elementary Eng
lish. This idea was inspired by the
difficulties Sammy has in making
himself understood. The practical
means of realizing this, says the writ
er, would be wholesale distribu-
ton of pamphlet giving the sim
plest English American phrases and
their French equivalents. The pro-
posal is favorably commented upon
and may shortly be realized.
