Secretary of War Baker has an

In sections where the proportion

An appeal has been made to Sec

INTERLUDE.
Inc days grow shorter, the nights
grow longer,
The head stones thicken along the
way:
And life grows sadder, but love grows
stronger
For those who walk with us, day by
day.
The tear comes quicker, the laugh
grows slower.
The courage is less to do and to dare;
And the tide of Joy in the heart runs
lower
And seldom covers the reef of care.
But all true things in the world seem
truer,
And the better things of the earth
seem best;
And friends are dearer as friends are
fewer
And love Is all, as our sun dips west.
Then let us clasp hands as we walk
together,
And let us speak softly, in loves
sweet tone,
For no man knows on the morrow,
whether
We two pass by, or but one alone.
-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

trayal of Ireland. Mr.. Redmond and
sixty Of his followers rose abruptly
and marched out of the House of Com
mons. Enraged Nationalists said Sir.
Edward Carson had failed as secretary
Of the admiralty and would make a
better hangman in Ireland.
Mr.. Redmond, who is sick man,
threatened the government with the
growing power of the revolutionists
who are increasing. The Irish leader
closed by saying:
II warn the government that if the
result of that policy is to destroy the
constitutional movement in Ireland
you can only govern her by the naked
sword"
Lord Lonsdale said Ireland was
largely disloyal and had held back
from the war.
The government proposition to al
low a limited measure of Home Rule
outside of Ulster is regarded in Ire
land as the dismemberment of the an
cient country and meets with opposi-
ton from many classes and sections.
The Irish party is enraged again as
they were led to believe that the I'M
perial Colonial conference intended to
recommend settlement. Redmond
said he had sacrificed himself in Ire
land for England, thinking to save
Home Rule, and now " in the crisis he
had been let down and betrayed by

Street Lecturer on Birth-controI Fined
in New York-Young Lady Over
hears Contemplate Remarks
Daughter of Civil War Veteran and
an American.

Stephen Kerr was haranguing a
crowd in Madison Square park, New
York, recently on birth control, when
a young woman passed, listened and
stopped. When she caught the full
drift of Kerr's remarks, which included
an attack on the Catholic church for
it's opposition to birth control, she
could restrain her indignation no
longer.
She demanded if there was not a
good American citizen present to stop
Kerr. She was a daughter Of Civil
War veteran, she said, and Kerr ought
not to be allowed to talk like that.
Here is poor deluded woman"
shouted Kerr, in scornful tones, point
ing a finger of derision at the woman,
and the crowd cheered. The woman,
who was Miss L. M. Kenny of Brook
Ign, promptly called policeman and
had Kerr arrested.

Historic St. Patrick's Dav
On March IL, 1776, British Force.
Evacuated Boston.

Boston has large percentage of
Irish American residents, who have
double reason for celebrating the
18th of March. Not only is it the day
of the patron saint of Ireland, but it
is also the anniversary of the evacua-
tion of Boston by the British soldiers
in 1776.
Here is the story of the historic St.
Patrick's day as told in the diary of
Timothy Newell, salesman of
Boston:
9th, Lords day. This morning, at
3 o'clock, the British troops began to
move. They all embarked about 9
O'Clock, and the fleet came to sail.
Every vessel which they did not carry
off they rendered unfit for use. Not
even boat to cross the river left.
"Thus was this unhappy, distressed
town (through manifest interposition
of Providence) relieved from set of
men whose unparalleled wickedness,
profanity, debauchery and cruelty is
inexpressible, enduring siege from
10Th April 1775, to 18th March, 1776.''
The diary also says:
"The general Immediately ordered
a detachment of 1000 troops under
General Putnam to occupy the town,
and who the next day began their
works in fortifying Fort Hill.
"a number of loaded shells with
trains of powder, covered with straw,
were found in houses left by the reg
ulars near it's >fortification.
Had Howe's troops been fired upon
he would by this means have set fire
to Boston and left it smoking heap
of ruins"

who, with hands uplifted, in the midst
of shot and shell, gave final absolution

was correct. He offered to apologize,
but Miss Kenny said he would have
to apologize to the millions of Roman
Catholic men and women in America
and to the Stars and Stripes, which he
had insulted. A fine of S. was then
imposed, but Kerr said he would go
to Jail rather than pay the fine. Which
was Immediately ordered.

Close observers of Ireland in Amer
lea have known for two years that
the Home Rule act was dead, would
not be executed, and was passed only
to secure soldiers for the army in Ire
land and from the colonies. The Sim
Fein rebellion of last April showed the
spirit of the young men. The upris-
ing, it is now agreed, would have been
nationwide could arms and ammuni-
ton have been secured. The feelings
toward England have been intensified
during the past year.
The first contested election since
the rebellion took place in County
Roscommon where the Sim Fein reb-
els elected a member of Parliament
in the person of Count Plunkett, faith
er of Joseph Plunkett, who was exc
cuted in Dublin with the other Irish
Republican leaders. The new lord
mayor Of Dublin, recently installed,
was prisoner during the uprising and
his election is accepted as Sim Fem
triumph. There is practically no re-
cruiting in three-fourths of Ireland.
The landing of so many crews, on the
shores of Ireland from Summarized
ships has caused many to believe Eng
land is faring badly in the war. Ar
rests are common at present in all
parts of Ireland of political suspects.
Men are court-martialled and given
long sentences at hard, labor. The
breakdown of the Irish party is Ger.
tain to add to the prevailing chaos
and reign of terror.
