NOTHING DOING.

AS was anticipated, President Will
sons reply to the Pope's peace pro-
posals is a polite but firm :declination
to enter into negotiations, tending
towards cessation of i1ostilities, with
the present German government, for
the reason that no dependence what
ever could be placed upon any pledges
or agreements it might make. The
President again makes it clear that
this country has no quarrel with the
German people and will welcome a
just and lasting peace, but that peace
is impossible as long as Germany is
dominated by it's arrogant autocratic
kaiser and his swashbuckling junkers,
who have no regard for solemn treat
les or the law Of nations and know
only the law Of might.

/ BRYAN R. HIMSELF AGAIN

William Jennings Bryan, the origi-
nal pacifst, realizes this is no time for
quibbling OF faltering. In an address
at Chicago he set his audience wild
when he said:
No one can say how long this war
will last, but one fact more important
than guess is that no matter whether
long or short, the quickest way out of
it is straight through it.
And the more anxious a person is
for peace, the more Loyalty he should
support this government of ours. F,v..
cry person who is praying for peace
should be giving of every aid he or
she is capable in support of the United
States, for we shall have peace when
this nation has triumphed and not be-
fore. ill.,
Any division here in America as to
the prosecution of the war will .have
a tendency to prolong the war and
make it more costly both in money and
men, The more prominent a man is
the more important that he should
avoid anything that can be construed
as a violation of a citizens loyalty TO
his country,

Those Canadian regiments engaged
in battle are certainly remarkable
fghters-"retreat" or "defeat" are
words unknown to their vocabulary.
Hammering away, day and night, in
the bloodiest conflict in history, they
are ever gaining ground, moving down
the enemy by thousands and captur
ing whole battalions besides. We do
not seek to convey the impression that
the armies Of England, France and
Italy are not doing their share in the
fierce struggle, for they are-they are
battering the Teutonic forces right and
crushing them into pulp. The
Canadians, however, from their great
bravery and comparatively small nu-
merical strength, are entitled to MUCH
credit for the heroic deeds which they
have performed. :~,.t

arise. While those anarchistic black
guards, the I. w. w., are giving some

them-the aliens among them will
probably be deported and the remain

ization is crushed to earth the better
it will be for the country at large.

The conservation" social is the
latest fad in the large cities. A con-
'servation social is function at which
madams and nademoiselles "dolledup'
in silk dresses, patriotic silk stockings
and other luxurious raiment gather to
vie with one another in devouring ice
cream and drinking frappe with a
stick in it. The function usually ter
inmates with a game Of bridge or
rubber of whist played for stakes.
Where the conservation comes in we
are unable to conjecture, but there is
invariably a superabundance of con-
versation, or should we say gossipy
chit-chat?

The peace proposition put forth by
the Pope of Rome will not meet with
any success for two reasons. First, it
was the Pope, and second, it would
mean peace and end the war, and that
is not NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. News.
Piffle! The peace proposals of the
Pope will be rejected by the allies
simply and solely because they have
everything that they have SO bravely
fought for to lose and nothing to gain
by accepting the same. Nor would
the acceptance Of the Pope's proposals
mean the end of the war for any
length of time. Treaties, by the pres
ent ruling powers of Germany, are re-
garded as mere scraps of paper. I'm
doubtedly the Pope means we'll, but
his peace proposals are generally re-
garded as having been inspired by
Austrian and German influences.

There is a. splendid article in the
North American Review for August by
it's talented editor, George Harvey, en-
titled democrats on Trial." from
which this excerpt is taken: eve
must understand, too, that all such
service to the state must be, like the
services of the state to the individual,
impartially universal. If Jefferson
did not mean that, he meant nothing
at all, with his declaration that all
men were created equal. If it be true
that all men are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable
rights, it is equally true, and equally
pertinent for US to remember, that
they are also charged by Him with
certain unavoidable duties. We need
to realize that for the fulflment of
those duties, for the performance Of
that service of the individual to the
state, preparedness is essential"

A splendid specimen of an ex-United
States senator is J. D. Works of Los
Angeles. At meeting called by
Works and others of his ilk, at Orange,
to organize a branch Of the so-called
peoples council he denounced the gov
ernment's war program in a speech
filled with reasonable utterances.
Several loyal persons in the audience
arose and the word "Traitor!" sounded
through the hall, but the police (more
shame to the trucklers) permitted
Works to proceed with his anarchistic
remarks. The time is approaching
and approaching fast-when every
despicable cur of the traitor. stripe
will be given the penalty he de-
serves.

Brave Sons of Old Erin.

Brave Sons of Old Erin.
British Front in France and Bel
GUM, Aug. 22.-The story of. the va
lent fight waged by Irish battalions,
both Ulstermen and South Of Ireland
men, in the latest British offensive
north Of Ypres, will make their names
immortal in Irish annals.
The ground over which the Irish
troops fought Thursday may roughly
be placed as lying between Fortuin on
the north and Frezenburg on the
south. Before them lay strong Ba-
varian positions scattered over ter
rain which made an advance seem i'm
possible. Stretching out from the
acknowledgements road across
the center of the battlefield was a
ridge which dominated all surround
ing ground and from myriad of ma
chine guns on the crest could be
poured a deluge of bullets into the
advancing ranks.
Through the southern portion Of the
sector the swollen Zonnebeke river
poured it's muddy water and scattered
along both banks Of the stream were
many steel and concrete redoubts hold
ing from 20 to 100 Germans, all we'll
armed: Immediately in front Of the
Irish was undulating ground. Every
knoll was strong Bavarian position.
The Ulstermen were on the left of
this battlefield and the men of the
south on the right. Shoulder to
shoulder they moved out among the
heartbreaking obstacles at the break
of day, begging at every step. They
first encountered the customary thinly
held line of German outposts.
These Bavarians fell back and al
most Immediately the Irishmen found
themselves facing fire from every ma
chine gun before them, a vicious, steady
stream of lead breast-high across the
whole battlefield.
Amidst this hail of bullets the Irish
men pushed doggediy forward. The
Ulstermen first struck a position
called Pound farm below F ortuin. They
plunged into the gun pits and fierce
struggle followed. They fought until
the last German lay crumpled beside
his gun. A small garrison was left to
hold this place and the Irishmen
pushed on. There was bitter fighting
at every step.
North of Franzenburg was a re-
doubt called Berry farm, holding from
sixty to eighty Bavarians with ma
chine guns. The position was too
strong for the infantry to take. The
Irishmen battled on until the" troops
which assayed an attack on the forti-
fcation lay dead or wounded before
it. But, others pushed forward to hill
IS, as the ridge which dominated the
surrounding ground was known, and
for a time that eminence was actually
in Irish hands. But it was too i'm
portant a position for the Germans
to relinquish. They massed great
numbers of men behind it and hurled
them against the Irish. The latter
met the onslaught with bayonets and
dubbed rifles and fought fiercely and
determinedly.
They were greatly outnumbered and
gradually were forced to fall back,
but no more heroic effort has been
made since the war began than this.
