numbers Of the boys that were siezed,
given to dervishes and carried off to
be brought up as Mussulmans.
Futhurmore, one should remember,
he says, the great numbers of re-
fugees that fled across the Russian
frontier from the Northern Armenian
provinces, and who have not ventured
to return owing to the fear of en-
countering rowing bands of demobiliz-'

In the opinion of Viscount James

Syria under Turkish rule would ex.

been extremely great and has been
evinced by the enormous contribu.

relief of the Armenian refugees.
Can anybody in this country be
found who thinks that after the three
hideous massacres which the Turks
have perpetrated in Armenia since 49,
95 eliminating in the worst massacre
all in 1915, when 10000 Christians
persisted, it would be possible for
any Christian power, or indeed any
power Of human feeling to leave the
Turk free to begin expressions afresh

THE HUN MUST PAY.

This war can never end in a just
peace. writes William Roscoe Thayer
in the North American Review, until
the German shall be forced to pay for
everything which can be paid for.~ He
has sunk fourteen million tons of the
worlds shipping. and he exults in this
enormous crime; but justice will not
be placated until he HAS paid back ton
for ton. He has ravaged thousands of
square miles of French and Belgian
Polish and Serbian territory: he has
laid Armenia waste, he has damaged
Italy. So far as material devastation
and losses can be paid for and re-
stored, he shall pay for them. The
great spiritual calamities which he
has brought upon the world, the doc
trines of inhumanity and nendacity
which he has shed over it like a poi
sonous gas, the innumerable ~Aereave-
ments. the blighting and shattering of
millions of families, the heartaches
and sufferings of the myriads who
survive to lead crippled lives, these
concerns of the spirit cannot be COM
pensated in money. These things we
leave TO the vengeance of God.
The German army has already been
driven back. and unless some incred-
IDLE disaster to the allies should SUI
pervene, the Teutons are inevitably
beaten in the field. That the German
despots understand this is proved by
their frantic efforts to obtain peace by
chicane. Only by listening to their
guile. and by being duped into &C.
cepting part today, when they could
have the whole tomorrow, could the
allies lose the certain victory which
awaits them.
We must not slacken our prepara-
ton; we must push on with larger
and larger forces, and never allow the
willy Huns to imagine that we are war;
weary or down-hearted or willing to
compromise

Thousands Attend Ireland Funeral In
Chicago Today.

ireland was buried today in Calvary
cemetery. The ceremony in the Ro-
man Catholic cathedral and the fu-
neral procession were solemnly i'm
pressive.
Hundreds of military men attended
the services Archbishop ireland was
a chaplain in the Civil war and it had
been said that his ,untiring efforts to
assist his country after war was de-
clared on Germany caused his physi-
cal breakdown. Nearly one thousand
Catholic clergymen participated In the
ceremony. When the body was car
ried from the church business activi-
ties in the twin cities were stopped for
five minutes.
The sermon, preached by Archbish-
op Keatie of Dubuque. Ia, was a Sim
pie recital of the life Of the dead
prelate.
Thousands of persons crowded the
cathedral lawn before the doors were
opened at 9:30 o'clock. The solemn
high requiem mass was said by Bish-
op Thomas O'Gornan of Sioux Falls,

op. Absolutions were pronounced by
