TRAGIC DEATH OF
MONAGHAN SOLICITOR
Wrong Prescri ption Sent to Chemist
Causes Young Mans Un-
timely Death.

A tremendous sensation was caused
in Clones OH Monday morning when it
became known that Mr. Frank P. J..
Mcguire, B. A., solr., had died in the
Lennard Arms Hotel as result of
having taken poison in mistake for
medicine during the night. The great
est regret was felt at the tragic oc-
currence by which young man of
such splendid physique and high at
tainments had been snatched away in
the early prime of his life. In Goote-
hill also, where deceased commanded
large professional practice and en-
joyed wide popularity, the news was
received with feelings of profound sor-
row.
1t appears that deceased, who had
been staying in the hotel for some
time, was suffering from insomnia,
and asked the attendant to fetch him
a prescription, with the result, as ap-
pears in the evidence given below.
The deceased was son of Mr..
Frank Mcguire, J. P, The Diamond
Clones, and was educated in Queens
University, Belfast, where he had a
brilliant course. He was aged 26, and
served his apprenticeship to the legal
profession with Mr.. Henry Murphy,
Crown Solicitor, Clones. At the time
of his death his parents were absent
from home, and only learned of the
tragic occurrence on their return that
night.

POPE OPPOSES AIR RAIDS.

Rome, March 16.-Explanation was
given today at the office of the Papal
secretary of state of the report that
Pope Benedict was attempting to in
duce the belligerents to cease the air
raids upon open cities. Msgr. Cerretti,
assistant Papal secretary of state,
said:
"The holy father has frequently
condemned such acts by whosoever
committed, having at various times
paved the way to joint agreement
on this subject, but both belligerents
apparently have so far been unable to
discover means for limiting lombard
ments to war zones. On one hand, the
Austro- Germans have claimed that air
raids were of direct military value in
that they lowered the morale in cities
which were attacked. On the other
hand. the allies insist on reprisals, also
attacking military factories and ware
houses near open cities
Msgr. Cerretti stated that the Holy
Father is daily engaged in studying
means, if not of ending the war, of
at least limiting its horrors, but so
far has not found arguments powerful
enough to influence the belligerents
to cease air raiding.

WHY THE ROBINS BREAST

The Saviour, bowed beneath His
Cross, climbed up the dreary hill
And from the agoniZing wreath ran
many crimson rill;
The cruel Roman thrust Him on with
unrelenting hand,
Till, staggering slowly mid the crowd
He fell upon the sand,
A little bird that warbled near, that
memorable day,
Fitted round and strove to wrench
one single thorn away;
The cruel spike impaled his breast
and thus tis sweetly said,
The robin has his silver vest incarna.

All, Jesus! Jesus! Son of man! my

despair,
Have plucked no thorns from Thy
dear brow, but planted thousands
there!

No clearer indication of the present state of mind and method of the German govern ment could be found than her official at titude expressed when the first word of the Bulgarian proposal for an armistice came to the world Official Germany lied then as she has always lied, with braven effront- cry and low cunning and extreme plausibil- ity. She declared that both Berlin and Vi enna were sending endorsements in great masses to aid the hard pressed Bulgars, and yet it was well known by every one who is keeping in close touch with the military situation that neither Berlin or Vienna had any troops to send. Every soldier that can be mustered by Berlin mandate from Ger many, Finland Russia Austria and Bull garia is being rushed to the western front to bolster the crumbling German lines. Again, German high officials declared that the Bulgarian peace move was opposed by the greater portion of official, civil and military Bulgaria, when the subsequent events proved that the move was practically unanimous. The German government
 therefore has proved to be consistent still in knavery, falsehood and deceit. The Prus- sian of Brest-Litovsk and Beauchrest IS the Prussian still Defeat has not changed this animal one jot or one little from its raven ing appetite of body and distemper of mind

I have just returned from South Am erica, and some of the ports at which we were are Rio de Janerio. Brazil; Mcntevideo. Manuex and a number of others. have been in tue war zone some six months, doing patrol duty off the coast of Norfolk, Va, and on the coast of New York, where l have been in close touch with few subs, but We get used to them and do not worry much until we spy one a few miles away from the ship, and then natural ly S, me of us become little shaSey. We sail for the other side within a few days, for duty over there only for a short period. The boys over there seem to be holding up just dandy. and you must hand it to some of them.

Some people seem to think that this last and largest Liberty loan bond issue Is more a rich man affair than any of the previous issues that have gone before. They seem to have absorbed the false logic that, hav- ing taken bond or two in the other loans, they have done all they can do and all that IS expected of them. It was even reported that there would be no fifty dollar bonds in this issue. Forget all this false, foolish and dan gerous stuff! Do you know that if every man in this country with an income of one hundred thousand dollars and over should give nearly all of his income that the total would not subscribe ten per cent of the fourth Liberty loanl Do you know that if every man in the nation with an income ot ten thousand dollars and over should give the greater part of his income that the total would not subscribe half of the giant loan! It is to the common people, to the buyers of a single fifty dollar bond or two one hun dred dollar bonds that the nation looks to in the matter of carrying this loan over the top. The average plug citizen Is depended upon to subscribe these bonds. Consider, if there are any slackers among the rich or the wealthy or the well-to-do in the War ren district. Were there any in the last loan drive? If so, how many? We wouldn't stand for it. We'll be sure that the same condition and the same public sentiment prevail in all communities in the union. This is a common cause participated in by all the people The fourth loan IS going greater than any of the other loans. It has to go better to go through, for it is so much larger than any of the others. All together, now, all the time, all the way

 beyond question will drop the triangle of towns into the laps of the allied armies without the necessity of costly frontal attacks. Roulers was reported in the hands of the Belgians and Menin about to fall to the British. The advance lines are therefore al- ready east of the triangle to the north and have severed the German com munication system on that side and brought the remaining lines under gun fire.
 This Lille sector is the most congest- ed region of the whole battle line.
 Situated in the famous coal region, the three towns almost merge into each other while before them Amentie- ries stands as an Outwork protected from the south particularly by roads, railroads and numerous canals and water lines which make the advance of troops against stubborn foe eX- tremely difficult.
 The maneuver executed by Marshal Foch appears to follow closely the one he has tried successfully on other fronts. Instead of hitting at the weak point, the Belgian thrust, masked by an attack over the whole line to the North sea and aided by the British fleet suddenly concentrated on per haps the strongest natural barrier north of -Houthulst forest.
 The wood was cleared in fierce fighting. then the Belgian line moved forward quickly and the British to the south began an oblique drive along the old Hindenburg line defenses which has taken them past the Lille triangle with a rush, leaving that northern pivot of the whole German defense system in a rapidly deepening pocket.
 Probably this explains the fact that tbe British line from southwest of Douai to the juncture with the second army somewhere west of Armentieres have been quieseent throughout the bitter fighting on both sides.

not vengeful or ruthless. The Bulgar is well out of it and will nurse his wounds and thank his lucky stars that he had not greater price to pay for his cut throat at tack upon Serbia and his hiring out as an assassin to the Hun And the allies, hav- ing passed stern, forceful, just sentence and protected the interests of their loyal allies, Greece and Serbia, may also be thankful that this stout and fire eating Bulgar is out of their way and that they may now press on without interference to strike across the defenseless Hungarian plains straight at the heart of Austria, that 'ramshackle empire and tool of Berlin in the greatest crime of all the ages of the world.
