triots that II they talked In this
country as they talk In Dublin they
would get into q Federal peni-
tentiary. Some of these pollti-
clans are said to be nursing the mad
notion that the people OF the United
States sympathize with Irish slack
ers and Germanophils. There was
talk last week Of sending the Lord
Mayor OF Dublin over here TO solicit
Mr.. Wilson's good Offices in regard
TO Irish conscription- Il may be
doubted IL the Seamen's and Fire
mems Union would permit any such
emissary to travel on a steamer. II
is not Mr.. Wilson's business TO ap-
prove or veto legislation in the
British Parliament Moreover. this
Irish rebellion finds no friends here
save among the now quiet soapbox
sedItionaries- The Lord Mayor OF
Dublin coming on the errand pro-
posed would be in effect a German
agent. 1t would be impossible for
Mr.. Wilson to receive. him II is
likely enough that he wouldn't be

gomaster of Berlin would be exactly

Schwab. shipbuiiding head, offers to re-

the management tells him that it isn't ncces-

There never yet inaugurated big public
undertaking that hadn't prospect of graft in
it, save once, and that in the case of building
Noah's Ark. If Mr.. Schwab wants to throw con-
tracts other favors to his steel company he
do it, with without formal authority. To
tell Mr.. Schwab that he would be straight because
ne wouldn't have the chance to be crooked. which
practically the to his proposition to
resign Bethlehem's boss was neither within

Mr.. Schwab, entrusted with the greatest job in
his war, must be taken at his face value which is

VERBOTEN.

So runs the German in his rut,
His mind and mouth keeps closely shut;
He'd like to be half-human, but
les ist verboten."
Long have the people longed to quit,
To rest, to play, to eat bit
Why don't they? Sh! don't speak OF it!
"Es ist verboten."
In Reichstag sit the Socialists
And gnaw their tongues and crack their fists;
They'd like to slap the Kaiser's wristsl
"Es ist verboten."
And when she shoots her final bolt,
Still must she keep the Prussian dolt
Upon her neck. She can't revolt;
"Es ist verboten."
I'll of her own insane desire,
Soul-fouled by him she calls her sire,
She may not struggle from-the mire;
"Es ist verboten."
Her purposes no longer vague,
Far would she spread her own foul plaques,
But grimly. from the lips of Haig,
"Es ist verboten."
Flouting all laws, both Gods and mans,
To rend the world she hurls her clans,
But General Foch has other plans!
"Es ist verboten."
Drunken with blood, she sings the day
The nations shall become her prey
But now stands Pershing in the wayl

Resistance to Law IN Ireland.

At the Catholic Club, Sunday night.
DR.. Maurice Francis Egan. q dis
tinguished man Of letters and our
Minister at Copenhagen. said that
the greatest enemy OF the Catholic
Church and Of Christianity in Eu-
rope IL the German Emperor" To
the murderers Of priests, TO the raw
ishers Of nuns, to the destroyers
OF churches and cathedrals. TO the
slayers of Catholics on Good Friday
at the mass in Paris, the Irish Cath
ole hierarchy now turns in friend
ship. By what monstrous delusion
obsessed, plunged in what unhappy
remoteness from the agony of Bel
gilm and the world. does the Irish
Church tie at last to the Sim Fein-
ers. the open friends of the Kaiser?
These sermons and pledges against
conscription, this union or attempt
at union against conscription, this
Sunday devoted to organizing resist
ance. this combination of priest and
politician. this aid and comfort TO
the enemy-all this is a page Of his
tory that cannot be read hereafter
without sorrow and shame.
It is q strange attitude of the Cath
ole Church of Ireland or anywhere
else to counsel resistance to lawful
authority and government, to advise
Irishmen to ally themselves with
public enemies. The Bishop of Cloyne
tells a public meeting OF Queenstown
ers that the Irish have a powerful
and interruptions adversary who is
without heart or sympathy for long
suffering Ireland" For a generation
England has diligently striven to
satisfy the desire Of ireland, to make
ireland prosperous. She has been
treated in this war like a spoiled
child. The long-suffering has been
on the part of England.
What sacred privilege attaches
to an Irishman in Ireland that he
shall not be made TO fight against
Germany as Irishmen of Wales, or
Scotland. or Canada are made to
fight against Germany? Not in this
country. not in any country that is
fighting Germany. will "the audaci-
GUS preposterosity" be swallowed
that an Irishman of Ireland may
sulk and skulk. may hate England
more than he loves freedom, NAV
join hands with it's inexorabIe foes.
whether the opposition to conscrip-
ton comes from cardinal, arch
pienop' pisnop, priest, or from
those Sim Fein ruffians who insult
ed American sailors and the Amer
lean flag. Americans and all the
other nations banded against Ger
many regard the enemies of Irish
conscription as their enemies. Ven
cradle ecclesiastical titles cannot
shelter them. Whether from learned
bishops or from frothing poIitic-
ians. this resistance to conscription
Is stab at freedom.
The digresion of the Irish
Catholic hierarchy into pro-Ger-
manism is the more curious in that

disappointment and regret of the
vatican at the backsliding of the
German Catholics. the center par

1t is certain that the government can get your
$50.
Here are three certainties which you cannot
set aside in order to your $50 be ye paciist,
pro-German unpatriotic misery. or just the ordi-
nary indifferent
If the cost of this is not raised by your
investing your money in bond at Ia per cent
interest," payable to you, it will be raised by taxing
you, without any return to you. Therefore, it is
certain that the government can get your money,
as aforesaid. Finally, those who don't volunteer
to pay will be compelled to pay. This applies to
the $50 man not less than to the $4,000 man. If
the bond-salesman doesn't call you successfully,
the tax-collector will. The former wears a Ia
per cent profit smile; the latter calls with threat
of penalty. Finally, your $50 has got to fight,
though, perhaps, through indirect taxation. Vol
unteer it. and your sleep will be sweeter. Wait
until the government takes it from you, and you'll
have an everlasting crouch.
1t is safe to say that 90 per cent OF the un-
married men in this country average better than
81 per day of income. A dollar day saved means
bond in fifty days. Please observe how many
of the single men among your acquaintances never
wear the bond button. There are only two reasons
why they shouldn't be wearing it. One reason
is that they haven't bought it; the other that they're
not patriotic enough to wear it.

German Newspaper.

German newspapers in this country arc printed
for German readers-in other words, for Germans
whose interests centered more in their father
land than in their adopted country.
German newspapers are menace to the proper
conduct of the war. They may preserve semb-
lance of patriotism but in many instances the news
is given a twist that is not favorable to this
country. This has been demonstrated SO often that
the wonder grows that permit their publication.
Why not stop it?

upon. That price which had been set
by Fred Lobitz. was 40 cents hun
dred for delivery OH the second floor,
and So cents for the first floor. Then
it ran down to $3.50 ton for the
users of 1000 pounds or more a day.
This was thought too high later, and
