forcing that or any system of law and
What Dr. Mahaffy now writes has
been said with growing emphasis by
the more extreme and unshakably anti
Home Rule Ulstermen for two or
three weeks past. At best Ulster gave
but reluctant and grudging consent
to share in the work of the Conven-
ton, but now that the time has come
for clear issue to be faced the old OBJ
stinate, unreasoning opposition has re-
asserted itself.
"UIster's" Attitude.
Ulster makes no secret of it's atti-
tude or obstructive purpose, and this
as matter of fact, is the only thing
which can kill the Convention. The
pretext that Sim Fein activities have
altered the situation will not bear eX-
animation. The widest of the Sim
Fein speeches were made during the
East Clare election, when the Con-
vention was only just beginning it's
work.
Since then the prestige of the eX-
treme physical force advocates has
suffered a heavy blow, and it is q
fair inference from MIR. de Valera's
most recent speeches that he is play
ing for the highest bargain he can
possibly get out of the Convention.
Dr.. Mahaffey's letter, coming as it
does from one of the most prominent
members of the Convention, is bound
to accentuate differences at critical
moment when supreme need is con-
centration of conciliatory influences.

ULSTER FEARS
THE CONVENTION
IrreconciIabIe Province Doing Its
Utmost To Prevent An
Agreement.

Characterizing letter which DR..
Mahaffy published in the London
Times on the government of Ireland's
effect on the Convention as slash
ing attack on Lord Wimborne and
Mr.. Duke for their action three weeks
ago in relation to Sim Feiners, the
Dublin correspondent of the London
Daily News, says:
It may be recalled that the Lord
Lieutenant in his speech in the Lords
dealt with the baseless suggestion that
a rising was imminent, and in justi-
fication of Mr.. Dukes refusal to ac-
cept certain advice the Lord-Lieuten-
ant used these significant words, Had
preventative action been taken it
would inevitably, as was perhaps in
tended, have killed the Convention" !"
Lord Wimborne spoke with full knowl-
edge of all the facts. This comment
amply confirms my statement of three
weeks ago that powerful influences
were at work against the Convention
Now DR.. Mahaffy lifts the veil just
a trif1e higher. Writing presumably
without the Lord-Lieutenant's knoWl-
edge of State affairs, but with an
intimate knowledge of what is going
on in the Convention, he roundly con-
troverts Lord Wimborne's explicit as
sertion that ireland was not out OF
hand.

The Provost outdoes Lord Chaplin

inaction of the Government in face
of "insoience and jubilation among the
herd of disloyal and rebellious people
who openly advocate the setting up

asks, is there in framing a new con-

437 900 CATHOLICS IN Na-~..--
IN ARMY AND NAVY

Rev. Louis ]. O'Hern, G. S. P, re-
Gently gave some striking figures re-
garding the number of Catholic young
men to date in the service of the
country. There are, he declared, at
the present time, more than 100000
Catholics under arms in the United
States, and out of the draft probably
$4,000 will be Catholics.
Among the marines, who are called
"the most efficient fighting force in
the world" more than fifty per cent
are Catholics, and the navy has a
slightly higher percentage.
Hence there viii be 437,000 Catholics
in the first national army.

SAUCE FOR GOOSE
NOT FOR GANDER
Treason in Great Britain Only for
Some People.

Mr.. Lloyd-George said very emphat-
ically that no British Government
could tolerate preparation for rebel
lion. BY which he might lie supposed
to have meant that no British Govern
ment ever did SO; and yet it is only
three years and some months since he
himself was member of Govern
ment which did tolerate such prepar-
alton, says The Antigonish of Nova
Scotia.
And since then Mr.. Lloyd-George
has sat in Cabinet with Sir Edward
Carson, the leader in that prepara-
ton for rebellion; the first signer of
"the Covenant; the founder of
Provisional Government" And Mr..
Lloyd George knew when he took him
as a colleague that the same Carson
had publicly proclaimed that that re-
bellion was to go on after the war
should be over, If Home Rule were
enforced.
And Mr.. Lloyd-George is now in the
same cabinet with Mr.. Balfour and
Mr. Bonar Law who openly advocated
rebellion in the Northeast counties of
Ulster; openly advocated it on the
floor of the House of Commons.
And Mr.. LloydGeorge is Premier
of the Government which has chosen
for it's representative in the United
States, Lord Northcliffe, whose papers
did all they could for two years to in
flame the Orangemen of Ireland to re-
bellion; who sent his reporters to
Ulster to write violent and seditious
articles for his papers; describe Car
sons armies; it's leaders; it's rifles;
it's reviews; it's intentions: it's grim
resolve to die in the last ditch; all to
inflame and arouse Professionalism in
England for political purposes, and in
cidentally. if not principally, to sell
Lord Northcliffe's papers and to 'ad
vertise the noble Lord himself.
From all of which and much more
Mr.. Lloyd George has probably come
to the conclusion that what is sauce
for the goose is not necessarily sauce
for the gander; that there are rebel
lions and rebellions; and that trea-
son is not an offence that can be COM
mitted by all erring humanity, but
only by some people.

Saving Stamps has given us an ex-
cellent medium with which to start
this training. Instead Of the pen
ny box, which can be made to dis
gorge, try the book of twenty-five
cent stamps. A child of seven or
eight could understand this, that it
represented an investment of his
pennies, to return to him eventually
increased in value. 1t would start
a process in his mind, inaugurate an
interest, which would be kept alive
by the desire to save for another
stamp. It has the value of a pro-
erosion Of an advancement toward
goal. As a game it offers the
great notwithstanding to be
won; as a training it establishes an
idea and nourishes the faculties that
make for its accomplishment. It
teaches something that in our easy
going, hap-hazard way we left to
chance or trusted to natural inclina-
ton.

~NE July afternoon, when the
world outdoors was empty OF
~ everything except hot sunshine,
Penrod Schofield, in the saw
dust box Of his fathers stable, was as
silently busy as dlligent young worm
in the heart of q nut.
Favoring this comparison, the saw
dust box was naturally almost as dark
as the inside of nut is believed to be;
but Penrod worked by the light Of
lantern. which raised the temperature
of the box to degree that would have
frightened a stoker, but subtracted
nothing from the fever Of composition.
Penrod was writing.
He was writing CHAPTER TENTH

THE NECESSITY OF MA
TIONAL THRIFT

Prize composition won by Master
Louis Daigle, 9Th grade, Franklin,
lin, La follows:
thrift" is small word, yet it
means something very, very great,
and should be in every home.
BY buying a thrift stamp, you do
not only help your country in max
ing small loan but you also are
helping yourself. You are teaching
yourself. You are teaching others
to save by your example, and the
word "save" is the only thing that
will win the war. If we don't win
it, Germany will, so let's get to
work.
The word thrift" does not only
mean to buy thrift stamps, but to
save in every possible way.
Save food. Don't waste a par
ticle. It is valuable.
Save labor. To save labor, have
your old shoes resoled instead Of
buying a new pair. Do with less
clothes. Wear them out before you
throw them away. Buy less cake
and candy and all other foods that
are not needed for our bodies.
Save fuel. Fuel at the present
time is very much needed. We can
not build our ships, submarines, tor
pedoes, and indeed nothing can be
made without fuel. Now to do this,
