have come to the support of the Unit
ed States since its entry into the
world war. This was to have been
expected, for it has always been IN
this country's wars, but there is a
small group of professional lrishmen
in America who continue to be
trial to their more sensible fellow
cuuntrymen. Sound advise fer ali
slch is contained in a manifesto is
s1ed by the Lowell branch of the Unit
ed Irish League.
The signers begin by saying that
as loyal American citizens they are.
utterly and irrevocably opposed to
any policy that might injure the Unit
ed States or her allies" They scorn
promises of independence for Ireland
coming from Germany. deeming them
hypocritical ind insincere, but eqaul-
ly to be spurned if they were sincere.
"Never in her history" it is declared,
"has Ireland been arrayed against
human freedom, and she would be
unworthy of freedom if she lined up
with the modern Atilla." That voices
tie true Irish spirit as it is displayed
by the men Of that race who are fight
ing at the front or have gone into
camp in this country.
No more incongruCus alliance could
he thought of than that between some
who profess themselves friends OF
Ireland and a people who for three
years and more have been trampline
upon the most sacred of human rights.
Such a presentation of the matter
should avail for the conversion of the
most bitter haters Of England. Ever
the most rabid are obliged to speak
softly at d time when the market for
their views has been SO greatly re-
alced.

True Thanksgiving.

Viewed in the light of personal am
l,itjon. seen from psychology OF be-
far,e- -tFe-war day, considered hastily
md superficially, the Thanksgiving OF
this year may appear as am aiionha-'
l,,ns and hollow observance IN the face
Of the struggle that faces the United
States.
If such view is taken of Thanks
giving this year, it is because Thanks
giving has become, in the years OF
the nations growth, meaningless
and hollow observance, by people
that have forgotten the spirit IN when
our Thanksgiving day was conceived,
in the early years of our nations HE,
when, in sacrifice for ideals, the Pill
grims, in want and poverty, gave
thanks that freedom and human, God
and life were their inheritance, even
at the cost of their personal comforts.
True, indeed, is many a home
throughout the nation today saddened
by the absence Of loyal sons, but in
the sadness is there not a silent burst
of pride that we, as a nation, can col
iect cur resources, organize our pow
cr, employ our men, to fight for the
same God-giyen ideals for which the
Pilgrims made their sacrifice? Is
there any influence that viii develop
the noble spark Of sacrifice in every
heart, greater than that of offering
what we are able to offer for the
maintenance Of humanity, freedom and
peace on earth?
Thanksgiving today is not jas we
have known Thanksgiving, because TO-
day II is q feeling. consciousness, &
awning understanding, and not a
aame. We may confuse our emotions
5 this day. We may doubt if We
