FOOTPRINTS OF THE COLLEEN
BAWN.

Peter O'Connell was man of whom
1rishmen, and especially Claremen,
may well feel proud. He was buried
close to his native place, in the church
yard of Burrane, Killimer, County
Clare. 1t may be of interest to remark
that he was buried in the same grave
in which the body of the unfortunate
colleen Bawn" (Ellen Hanley had
been inferred, after being washed
ashore at T. b. Calf Gamble, who
wrote an article entitled footprints
of the Colleen Bawn' in the New Ire
land Review Of September, 1896, the
Colleen Bawn's body was found by two
fishermen, named Patrick Cornell and
John Driscoll, the former being Peter
O'Connell's brother, Patrick, of whom
O'Curry speaks.

The VITAL SUBSTANCE.

When fall asleep, time and place
cease to exist for me. Days, weeks
and years are alike-are neither short
nor long. With the loss of conscious
I lose the stars, the mountains, the
oceans, men and their cities. My own
joys and sorrows, my successes and
failures sink into nothingness. Naught
that concerned me concerns me any
longer. Thus shall it be, If I regard
this life alone, when am dead. And
since life is' but day, the evening
comes apace, the shadows lengthen, the
tapers are lit, and it is time to draw
the curtains and fall asleep. But il
there be anything of me which death
cannot touch, it is to this / should
look, since what he can take, he will
take quickly, and it is light and un-
misunderstanding.

THE MAN WITH A HOBBY.

hobby. It may be that the very hobby
will be the means of the world getting
something of great good All people
that have contributed to the sum of
human knowledge had a hobby. The
man who ranks as an inventor had a
hobby once; the preacher who gets up
in his pulpit has his hobby; the man

have-a hobby. You may call it by

The Judge addressed himself also
to those who, through the accident Of
birth, are not native Americans. If
they are naturalized citizens, they
must contribute their full support to
America-offer their lives if need be,
to prove their Americanism-sta
out sedition with an iron heel, and
prove that they are worthy of the pro-
lection and comfort that the Stars and
Stripes have given them. If they are
enemy aliens, they are to keep their
mouths tightly shut, and do all they
can to help America in this just cause,
by contributing their every dollar. If
they are to enjoy the freedom and
the opportunities that the United
States offers to them, they must fur
nish indisputable evidence of their
good intentions.

the need for investment in Liberty
Bonds to t9e limit of our capacities;

need for our answering support of
our Government, was forcibly brought
out Pinal County, and Ray in parti-
cular, is glad indeed to acknowledge
its gratitude to Judge Baughn for the
services he is rendering. We doubt
very much if we have ever welcomed
a speaker of such power and force;

.BREEN, JAYNES,
ARE ARRESTED ON
HUNTS COMPLAINT

Phoenix, May 2-Allan B. Jaynes,
editor of the Tucson Citizen, and Col.
F. S. Breen of Flagstaff, editor of the
Coconino Sun, will appear here Satur-
day morning for preliminary hearing
on charges of criminal libel preferred
by Governor Hunt following the pub
LEGATION in both papers Of articles at
tributing to Governor Hunt remarks
reprecating prosecution of the war.
Jaynes was released on $1,000 bail.
Breen was released on his own re-
cognizance. Col Breen was formerly
federal disbursing officer for Arizona
and at one time was a member of the
Arizona legislature. Both editors have
engaged the best legal counsel in the
state to defend them.
The arrest of the two editors was
the result of the publication of an
article in the Coconino Sun, which
was in part copied by the Tucson Cit
izen. Jaynes happened to be in Phoe-
nix when he heard of the issuance of
the warrant, went Immediately to the
office of the justice, accompanied by a
number of republican leaders, and sur
rendered himself. He was bailed, with
former Governor Thomas E. Campbell
and Mrs. Charles e. Arnold as surety.
Jaynes was accompanied to the Of
flee of the justice by his counsel,
Judge R. E. Sloan. Judge John H.
Campbell of Tucson will also appear
for Jaynes. Advice from Flagstaff is
that Judge E. M. Doe will represent
Breen.
Jaynes and Breen are two of the
most prominent republicans in Ari-
zona Jaynes is at present republi-
can national committeeman. Breen is
a former member of the state legis-
lature and was disbursing officer for
the draft, having been named on the
recommendation of Governor Camp
bell. He resigned last December when
notified that owing to Arizona having
population of less than 100000, his
commission would be that of captain.

STIRRING ADDRESS
BY JUDGE BAUGHN
TREAT FOR RAY|TES

Ray was treated to one of the most
stirring patriotic addresses it has ever
heard when, on Tuesday night, Judge
Baughn of the Superior court for
Pinal county, delivered a speech at
the Red Cross pavilion.
Judge Baughn dealt principally with
the underlying causes of the war and
with the duties of Americans wheth-
er of foreign birth or native. He
proved conclusively that this world
wide conflagration is directly the re-
suit of carefully planned Vaccinations
of the German government; that war
like teachings have been instilled into
the minds of the German people for
many years; that they have been
taught war is noble; that right or
wrong is only myth, which-as the
Judge so aptly stated-proves they
have no conscience.
Judge E. w. French introduced Mas
ter Herman Cowen, who won the
prize offered in the school competi-
ton for the best four minute speech.
Master Cowen delivered an address
which gave evidence of careful prep
aration and which was cordially re
ceived.
Judge French then introduced
Judge Baughn. AS a matter of fact,
Judge Baughn needed no introduction
He is personally known to many Ray
ties as an able judge, a good neighbor
and a conscientious worker in the
caues for freedom. While Indictment
weather threatened abruptly to ter
inmate the lecture, it did not dampen
the ardor of the judge or of his audi
ence
The Declaration of independence
was touched upon first AS the
judges lecture is primarily intended
to acquaint the naturalized American
with his duties toward the land of his
adoption, short excerpts from the
Declaration of independence and from
the constitution were cited that our
national character might be the more
readily understood The high ideals
of our forefathers, so ably shown in
these documents, conveyed to the au
dience the fact that this glorious land
of ours considers every man born free
and equal-this in contrast with Prus
sianism.
In a thoroughly convincing manner
the judge conclusively proved that
pan-Germanism found an outlet in the
instigation of this war by Germany
The Potsdam conference, held in the
early part of July, 1914, wherein the
kaiser was told by every group OF
prominent men, excepting the bank
ers, that they were ready for war
was one of the significant points es
tablished. The bankers requested
two weeks delay, that they could ar
range for the recall of their foreign
paper Nothing was done regarding
The Arizona copper camp. [volume] (Ray, Ariz.) 1910-1920, 1918-05-04


But let us not forget that German
soldiers, in 1914 with no restraint,
raped the women of Belgium and
France in the first advance; that they
placed screens of children before
them; that they executed, as a warn
ing against a feared Belgian rising,
fifty innocent Catholic priests and
thousands of innocent citizens; that
they gave themselves up Gin hun
dred different places, to plundering,
incendiarism, Imprisonment, massa-
cres, and sacrileges"8 Cardinal Mer-
cier); that in France they have de-
| liberately made desert of territory
in retreat, with an object, not of this
war, but of destroying productivity
for at least a generation to come;
that Germany openly applauded Tur-
key upon the massacre of nearly one
half the population of Armenia; that
Germany, by the cruel starvation and
deportation of conquered populations
is attempting to "Germanize" the
lands of Poland and Russia; that she
torpedoes hospital ships with ode
fenseless beings, wounded or mutt
| lated in war, and women who are de-
voting themselves to the work of re-
lief and charity"9 (protest of the In
ternational Red Cross Committee at
Geneva; that no other government,
in the worlds history, ever ordered
or approved a Lusitania.
This war is lost, and a greater will
follow it, unless it is fought to the
point where Germany knows for all
time that such acts are, in the end,
fatal to the government that commits
them.

Extracts from literature, from as
far back as 1897, proved beyond a
doubt that the spirit of conquest had
been instilled in the minds of the Ger
man people for many years; frag-

man-born Americans were read-na-

ed and admired-who, because of
their thorough knowledge of the in
side workings of the German mind,
and even by reason of the fact that
it is their fatherland, cannot sanction,
believe in, or countenance the course
of the German government.
An incident further to illustrate the
horrible brutality encouraged by the
militaristic caste in Germany was
cited: A young man had written to
his parents in Germany (before war
had been declared by the United
States), asking their advice whether
they wanted him to return to Ger
many, leave his wife and family here,
and fight for his fatherland, or remain
here. After silence of several
months, his parents wrote stating that
they believed he owed it to his fam
lily to remain here When the letter
reached him, on it was written: "This
couple were shot this morning." and
underneath, in purple ink, appeared
the signature. of German general,
with his official seal This brutal
demonstration of Hun barbarity gave
further proof-if any be needed-of
their educated savagery. Ray has
heard of many instances of brutality,

High-Speed Biography.

A seven-league stridA has recently
been made in high-speed telegraphy.
An apparatus which in actual tests
has proved its ability to transmit over
a single grounded wire 5000 words a
minute has been evolved The real
significance of this escapes one until it
is realized that 6,000 words set in
type will fill seven and half stand
ard magazine pages. Details of what
appears to be an epoch-making achieve
ment must he withheld for military
reasons. 1t is war invention, and
has for its chief purpose the liberation
of hundreds of expert operators for
the signal corps without disorganizing
our much needed commercial lines.
No secret is dlvulged, however, when
the apparatus is described as print
ing telegraph system, depending upon
a universally used recording instru-
ment that has never before been assO-
ciated with telegraphy. Messages are
handled in any language or cipher with
equal facility and rapidity.-Popular
