Irish In the War.


Omaha. De, 5.-To the Editor Of
The Bee; Ii is possible, perhaps prob
able, but not certain, that the critics
or traduCers of the Irish race can
be convinced that the Irish will
fight. The charge is preposterous,
nevertheless the assertion has been
made that the fighting race did not
participate to any extent in the war
True, there were no Irish in the
German and Austrian armies, al
though it was an old Fenian, John C.
Holland, who invented the submar-
inc. The accusation is not made
against the Irish American. The late
unpleasantness added another star
to his credit-an even half dozen,
towit: the Revolution. the War of
1872. Mexican war, Civil war, Span
ish-American, European war.
There is much in common between
the labor class and the Irish strug-
Cling for freedom, therefore, will
cite a few extracts from statements
made to a writer in the Chicago
Labor News by CAPTAIN Thomas +.
Mcmahon of the Irish Guards, who
has been through the hell of war
fare As a memento of one of the
battles a piece of his skull was torn
away. Recently he was with the
British and Canadian recruiting
mission at Chicago. He said:
ITS a pity some of YOU Ameri-
can newspaper men were not with
the forces in the first couple of years
of the war, close up. where you

not after they had filtered through.
There would be something worth
writing about
when the war began Ireland sent
into the fighting zone some fifteen
regiments distinctively Irish from all
the four provinces. And as the war
developed there were the London
Irish, Liverpool Irish. Tyneside Irish
and in the Scoth, Welsh and Eng
fish regiments were many more
Irishmen."
"Then there came from overseas
some regiments like the Vancouver
Irish fusleers, the Quebec Irish, q
South African Irish regiment, anG
from Australia came others, some

may accomplish in the interest of his
nation and State. in fact, he Is entitled
TO full credit for everything he has tried
to do, whether successfully or not. But

to Senator Salisbury for securing the
passage of the act authorizing the opening

CAUSES OF WAR.
Discussed by DIR. Jastrow at Ethical
Society Meeting Yesterday.

An audience that filled the Rose Room
of the Hotel du Pont yesterday afternoon
listened with interest to lecture by
Professor Morris Jastrow eminent as
syrioligost and librarian of the University
OF Pennsylvania.
He touched on the underlying causes OF
the world-war, and traced them by
analogy with the teachings of history, to q
violation of the fundamental moral law,
that the use of power for purposes of
political aggression always reacts on the
nation so employing it, and is essentially
immoral
The Nineteenth Century has n record of

were along the only promising lines that
will lead To permanent peace, rs they
sought to curb and limit war through the
agreement OF the nations, and thus ut
