DRIVEN FROM THEIR COUNTRY
8arbsrcus Penal Code Was the Cause
of Many lrishren Forsaking
Their Own Soil.

Some writer has said that during
the eighteenth century in Ireland the
chief social feature was political op-
preston and emigration" The treaty
OF Limerick was signed October 3,
1891. but despite the protests Of King
William. who was apparently brave
soldier and an able statesman. the
treaty was soon ignored as a mere
scrap of paper. The Odious. barbarous,
preScriptive legislation known as the
penal code was IN full swing shortly
after 100. and large eontingents. rep
resenting the flower of Irish manhood
and ehivalry. began 10 fly 70 the con-
tinent Of Europe and the shores Of
America. These unhappy children of
10. maddened by the English gadfty,
fed into all lands, carrying with them
memory that enabled them 10 recog-
nize the gadfiy wherever encountered.
and spirit that prompted them to
swat il remorselessy whenever it
crossed their path.

IRISH LOVE OF EQUALITY
In Some Ways IT Has Tended to Pre-
vent a Closer unification of
the Great Race.

The art and literature of the Celt
naturally is pure. noble, moral, re-
fined and idealistic. Besides. his love
of equality has leveling effect. and
a tendency TO uniformity of social and
economic ideals. This love of equal
ity has, however. prevented closer
unification of the Irish race in matters
vital to its independence as separ-
ate and distinct people Their sensi-
tiveness, it must be admitted, is the
real reason why, Notwithstanding their
acknowledged valor. they lost their in
dependence; and mainly because OF
this natural instinct, they cannot and
never could accept conquerors or mas
tiers with that humility that would
have lulled suspicion and created a
new starting point for a successful
dash and break for independence
This sensitiveness absolutely prevents
forgetfulness, and the hatred engen-
dered by centuries of persecution can
not be dulled or dispelled by promises
made in extremes. You may clothe
the Irish in rags. as Curran said, but
they will not wear chains.

Disappointed Over Failure of Senate
to Pass Armed Neutrality Bill.
characterization Wilson ex-
pressed in forceful language his dis
appointment over the senate's failure
to pass his armed neutrality bill, and
discussed at length his conception Of
the underlying basis of permanent
peace, in an informal talk Tuesday
at White House luncheon to the
members of the Democratic national
committee.
The president declared he was
mad" over the attitude of the little
group of senators who held up the
armed neutrality bill and indicated
that he hoped for better results il he
tried again to secure its passage. The
present, he said, is no time for parti-
san or fractional consideration in in
ternational affairs, because the need
that America prove united in efforts
to safeguard its interests is impera-
tive. He decried bitterness in public
discussion of the situation.

tor Healy's theories, and then ask
yourself If there is a shadow of the
Scotch claim left. Yet we are con-
tinuaIly dinned with the dogmatic
assertion that "St. Patrick was born
in Scotland"
On the other hand, TO quote from
Archbishop Healy of Tuam:
Phillip oSullivan Beare, a man
of learning and authority, declared
that Patrick was born in Breragne-
He was the first writer of note who
put forward that opinion, for no an
cient writer known to US ever adj
vanced it" The difficulty has been
to settle where exactly Bonnavem
Taberniae is, which is the town Pat
rick mentions in his Confession"
as his home.
Lannigan believed in French but
not a Breton birthplace. Doctor
Healy states that his view was
modification of O'Sullivan's. He
says that the Bonnavem Taberniae
OF the confession was the same town
as Boulogne-sur-mer, in Picardy and
was the birthplace of our saint. But
the confession does not state that
Bonnavem Taberniae was Patrick's
birthplace, but that it was the place
where his father had a villa from
which he himself was carried of a
captive"
Doctor Healy himself states: at
appears to US to be quite clear from
the account the saint gives of him
self that he was a native of the Ro-
man province OF Britain. and in all
probability was born on the banks
of the Clyde in Scotland"
To turn now to Professor Bury.
he writes as follows in his st. Pat
rick :" IN the absence Of any trace
of a Bannaventa in north British
regions, we must. 1 think, give deci-
sive weight TO the general probabili-
ties of the case and suppose that
Bannaventa was south of the Wall
of Hadrian somewhere in western
Britain, not far from the coast"
After his book was in press he
received a communication from Pro-
fessor Rhys, which led him TO add
