CLAUDE,
THE HONOR OF ERIN
(By Norreys Jephson O'Conor Of the
Vigilantes)


Last evening about $50 Austrian
and German civilians who had been
interned at Old castle, County Meath,
since the beginning of the war were
conveyed to Dublin and shipped
thence for interment elsewhere. At
the quays they were the subject Of a
remarkable demonstration. i. A
crowd of Sim Feiners on the oppo-
site side of the river sang the SOL
diers' song and cheered the departing
aliens.-New York Tribune.
o the sharp pang of shame, when the
honor of Erin
Is furnished, her heroes disgraced in
the grave,
When Austrians, Prussians, and Ger
mans from Schwerin
March past while Sim Feiners frater-
nally wave!
There is mist on her hills, and a mist
in her valleys;
The night wind means loud round the
shrines Of her past;
The host of her saints to her altar
light rallies;-
The lamp of her freedom Is dimming
at last.
Shall her sons shout in praise of the
slayers of wounded,
OF ravagers worse than the terrible
Dane?
Is the cross Of Clontarf, by no foeman
confounded,
The emblem of learning which looted
Louvain?
No! Her true sons go forth to the
trenches of Flanders;
The light of her Freedom glows once
more in France;
Her Honor is safe from the plotting
of panders,
Where the soul of free nations cries
"Fremen, advanced"

MOTHERS OF SOLDIERS
(By Francis Rogers Of The
Vigilantes.)

General impressions, as we'll as
available statistics. 60 to show that
our soldiers in France are behaving
themselves remarkably we'll. Among
5000 men who landed recently in a
French seaport only two bottles of
liquor were found; not single case
Of drunkenness was reported during
the month of March in Paris by our
military police. The percentage of
venereal disease is less than that in
civil life at home.
One of our generals was asked to
what he attributed such excellent con-
duct. He replied, ITO the boys rev,
erence for their mothers" He was
right, am certain, and it will solace
the tens of thousands of mothers who
have ungrudgingly sent their sons t.
fight for their country to know that
their boys are establishing record
for decent living probably never be-
fore equalled in the history of war
They may be confident, too, that they
are constantly in their boys thoughts
anybody that has talked to the boys
will testify to that.
Two or three stories from love,
there" will illustrate different phases
of the attitude of the soldiers toward;
their mothers. One man had to run
away from home sixteen years agJ
and long ago ceased to write to his
family. When he got to France hi
found that all the others had homes
and mothers; he alone had none Il
talk about. So one day he sat dowr
and wrote his mother for the frs,
time in many years. A few weeks
later he received a joyous letter from
her, saying she had hung out a serv.
ice flag in his honor. Thenceforth hi
felt on equal terms with his com
rades.
A young woman-worker in a Y. M
G. A. hut, noticed the disconsolatt
appearance of soldier standing neal
her canteen and asked If she coult
serve him in any way. After a little
hesitation he said he should like t,
have few minutes talk with he,

NOT FIRST IN GERMANY
(By Leroy Huron Kelsey OF The
Vigilantes)

The blatant claim is often made, WIN
brazen arrogance,
That German wisdom and research
has made the world advance;
But when we start to itemize the
things Of greatest worth,
That benefit and comfort bring to
people Of the arth,
We do not find them emanating from
Teutonic brains,
Although they quickly utilize what
e'er another gains.
The telegraph, the telephone, the en-
CINE run by steam;
Acetylene and kerosene, electric
lights that CLEAN;
The ocean cable, and the wireless,
and the photograph;
The motion picture, and in fact the
common Photograph
All these would still be hidden from
the races of mankind,
II there disclosure had depended on
the German mind.
The telescope, the microscope, the
antiseptic gauze;
, The anaesthetic for relief Of pain
from any cause |;
The principle of vaccination to pre-
vent disease;
The decimal and metric system
which we use with easel
All these were given to the world by
| nations now at war
Against Teutonic doctrines, which we
heartily abhor.
Our aniline for dyeing, and our rub
Der vulcanized;
Our automobiles and pianos, both SC
|
highly priced;
Electric cars and air-brakes, and thu
soft pneumatic tire;
The plate-glass in our windows ant
our fences of barbed wire;
All these were ne'r discovered in tn;
| land of braggard Hun.
Although they try to fool us as t,
what they've really done.
Machines for reaping harvest and ma
chimes for threshing grain;
The cotton-gin, the submarine, tn
bird.like aeroplane;
Machines for sewing clothing, an
machines to count our cash;
Machines to write our letters, all $
neatly, in FASH
These also might have never come t
blest the human race,
If other folks had waited for tn
= Huns to set the pace.
Fen implements of warfare are nc
born Of Prussian hands,
But hey employ inventions that hay
come from other lands:
Percussion caps, torpedoes, smok
less powder, dynamite,
. And nitroglycerh or shrapnel, all s
deadly in a fight;
The rife or revolver, or the quic
breach-loading gun,
While widely used, were none
them
The Germans are mechanics, and al
J skillful in that line;
They copy someone else's work, an
often do 1t fine;-
But when it comes to doing thint
, that never had been done,
They simply are not in it, and no la
rels have they won;
, They talk of German "kultur" an
they boast and strut about,
But yet their big achievements al

ficiently sincere in the desire to learn
such a trade will organize into a class,
that they will be willing to furnish in
struetors to teach the women the mech
anism.
Owners Of cars haxe said that on the
