GERMAN OPINION OF THE IRISH

Buffalo News: German love for the
Irish was born of expediency
The imperial government looked upon
Ireland as a desirable base of operations
and upon the Irish people as fitting
mediums for the advancement OF Ger
many's plans.
Bernstorff recommended intensive cul'
tivation OF the spirit Of unrest exhibited
by the Irish and TO that end urged that
money and influence be eXerted by Ger
man emissaries in this country as well
as in Ireland
Easement was gulled into taking ac'
ton that cost him his life and with the
exception OF rioting, led by that body
of irreconciliables which has ever ar
fiicted ireland. German plotting proved
abortive
German propaganda failed as regards
ireland, and no wonder.
The professions of friendship and COM
radeshlp expressed at that time FOR Ire
land by Germany was too palpably part
of the German game.
The true German opinion of the irish
may be gathered from the following ex'
tract culled from the great German en-
cyclopedia. the ConversationsLexicon OF
Meyer:
"The character OF the genuine Irish is
a singular mixture of opposite traits
many of them, no doubt. developed by
their unfortunate history. The main
feature a the Irish is inconsistency
and thoughtlessness. though they pos
sess such characters as the compatible
with these vices. The Irishman lacks
reasoning power perseverance and self
control. He possesses a poetical facul-
~ and a taste for art, music and rhet-
oric. He Is keen for knowledge, cum
ming. clever and witty. although Tor
the sake OF deception he often pretends
10 be stupidity naive. But with all ms
intellectual powers he lacks profund-
ity. Superficial in his actions ana
thoughts. untrustworthy as worker,
lacking perseverance and nckle, ne Is
not equal TO the performance OF any
great task in life a,.d il incapable OF
attaining results commensurate with his
spasmodic activity. Those who are not
his relations or friends dare not trust
him. The proverb seems true that when
an Irishman IL stabbed, announcer irish
man is always bound to drive the dagger
In. Treason has always been promi-
nent feature in all Irish risings. Con-
scientiousness is conspicuously lacking
in the Irishman, and he is not dis
tinguished for his love of truth. lrri-
table as he is and inclined TO quarrels
and violence, he is fond. too. of amuse-
ment Hospitable and extravagant. he
forgets to provide for the future. Though
often a victim of intemperance. he can
put up with dearth when necessary,
and is quite contented If he only has po-
tatoes to eke out his life"
That would make good reading at the
next meeting of professional German
Irish agitators who masquerade as
Friends of Irish Freedom.

HAS A MORAL FOR us.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
The story OF treason. bribery and cor
ruption by which Germany won those
redoubtable victories" against Russia
which made regulations for some OF
the most prominent German command
ers, which is coming out little by little
nv the secrets OF the old regime In Rus
sia are being revealed. contains a moral
that Americans can not for n moment
afford to overlook.
Enough has been revealed To show
that the German campaigns In the east
have been fought principally with
money. Intrigue and corruption on an
amazing scale have paved the way for
the defeats inflicted on the Russian for
ces. Men high In office In the Russian
government had no scruples about be-
traying Russia and her allies to the
Germans, for "a price. The traitors In
cluded such prominent figures az Boris
Steurmer. for time premier; Proto'
popoG. minister OF the interior: and
Soukhomlinoff. ex.minister OF war. now
on trial In Petrograd for treason.
The infamy of these men. and host
OF minor officials who conspired with
them. defeated the valor OF the indi'
vidual Russian soldier and made vain
the sacrifice OF life among the Russian
troops. Germany's campaign I'm the
United States will not. Of course. run
parallel TO that carried on In Russia, for
the reason that there Is no possibility
of actually corrupting officials of our
government. The obvious policy TO he
followed here involves corrupting pri'
vate agencies for the purpose Of ere
ating opposition to war measures.
Evidence that the government at
Washington is alive TO the possibilities
and determined TO cope with German
cunning is shown in the energy with
which traitors in the ranks of the l..
w. W. and the Socialist party are being
run down. Every individual who takes
n stand against the government in this
time Of war may not have German gold
In his pocket. but the exposure Of the
wide qualifications of corruption in Rus
sia makes il clear that for the time
being the person whose actions bring
him under suspicion of being friendly
to the enemy must be regarded as
party to German intrigue until he has
shown himself 10 be innocent

COAL OPERATORS WOES.

Black Diamond. the coal trade publ
cation, informs the world that "the coal
men are extremely bitter as a result OF
events In Washington" The editor
says ne has been familiar with coal de
yelopments in this country for twenty
Years. and never has he seen coal men
in such a state of mind. Some are IN
despair"
..The American government" he Ia
ments has fixed a price and said that
the coal problem is solved Hence the
coal business could go on rs usual and
everybody get a supply. But 1t hasnt
gone on. 1t cannot. because the min
ers are not there. and those who re-
main are In no mood to work. The cars
are not available to move coal, because
nobody this summer produced cars ana
engines to increase the supply. Also,
coal operators have been so often taken
from their business TO fight the govern
ment and to quarrel with politicians
that they have had little time to exer.
else that careful supervision which
alone can increase production under
difficulties"
In fairness II must be admitted that
the coal operators have faced a diff.
cult situation. The war has Increased
the demand for coal and at the same
time made it harder to produce coal.
Rut there is one important factor that
the writer ignores. And II is something
that the public would like very much
20 know about. Have the coal men
themselves done anything 10 improve
conditions?
Cars have been scarce. But the rail
roads and the government have better
I'd the freight situation. Have the OPP
orators themselves co-operated fully. in
an effort to use cars TO the best advan-
,age and thus increase the available
supply?
There has been trouble with miners.
Have the operators tried the obvious
plan of sharing their war profits and
improving working conditions?
The prices fixed by the government
may impose hardships in some cases.
But have the operators really tried to
make them workable?
The weakest part OF the arraignment
is the complaint that coal operators
have been SD often taken from their
business to fight the government
Isn't that the key to the whole situa'
ton?
Suppose the coal men had devoted all
that time and energy used in fighting
the government" simply to digging coal!
suppose they had shown spirit of
loyal cooperation with the government,
as the steel men. the copper men, the
sugar men, the automobile men and
many other industrial groups have
done.
They might not have made quite so
much money, though that is open to
question. But they would certainly not
be sunk now in such depths OF despair.
Their industry would not be in chaos.
And they would be free from tremen-
dous load Of unpopularity.
