Rome, Sunday. March list. Pat
riCk's day was celebrated at the Nati-
can by the reading by Pope Benedict
of a decree for the Identification of
Oliver Plunket. Monsignor O'Rior-
dan, rector of the Irish College, de-
livered an address, in which he said
Ireland was to-day paying to Plum
ket a debt owed to him for more
than two centuries.
The Irish in the end obtained
religious liberty for their brethren in
Britain as we'll as for themselves"
he said, although the struggle lasted
until time within the memory of
some who are still living. 1t involved
many sacrifices and the loss of life,
while for Ireland itself it meant mar
trydom of the nation"
Oliver Plunket, appointed by Pope
Clement IN to the archbishopric of
Armagh and primacy of Ireland in
1869, was accused of completely in
the Irish branch of the ''popish
plot" He was taken to London, and
in 1851 tried on the charge of hav-I
ing conspired TO bring a French army
to Ireland. Accounts of the trial by
English historians say that the evil
dence against him was flimsy, but he
was convicted and was hanged,
drawn and quartered.

Russian Prince Turns
Bandit to Make Living

Amsterdam. March 19.-The fol-
lowing story is told by the Cologne
Gazette's special commissioner in
Petrograd. He says: An automo-
bile taking a rich Finnish family
home was stopped in a Petersburg
street by another auto whose armed
occupant stripped the clothes from
the travellers and stole half a mil
lion rubles' worth of property. y
private detective ran the robber band
to earth and found it consisted of q
Russian prince and his body serv-
ants.
that he had been living on the pro-
ceeds of highway robbery for a
month. This he asserted was his
only means of existence because he
had been completely despoiled and
ruined by the Bolsheviki."

If Congress determines to continue

said the other day, the guard will
have to be constituted. from the
ground up. liberalization of the
guard for war service, the War De-
partment has held, on the opinion OF
Brig. Gen. Samuel T. Ansell, acting
judge advocate general, will wipe out
the existence of the federalized regi-

they will return to civilian life with
out any obligation either to the Fed
eral or State governments to continue
in national guard service.
Mr.. Baker expressed belief that
the program Of the national guard
is bound up closely with the question
of what Congress may do later in
establishing permanent military
policy. Existing law provides for the
regulars and the national guard
Should some system Of universal mil
itary training be worked out, how
ever, officers said, the national guard
possibly may cease to exist.

voca1Ion' 1ouf years ago, signal
lied the entrance Of great music
house into the field of phonograph
manufacture. Before that time,
phonograph development had been
in other hands. Resourceful in
ventors and skilfur mechanics had
done wonders-had brought the
phonograph from an ingenious toy
to a mechanical marvel.
But wonderful as it unquestion-
ably was mechanically, there was
left much to be done in the way
of developing its musical possibil-
tiles. Originally designed as

MENT could only be accomplish
ed by skilful mechanics, who were
also trained musicians.
The staff of the Aeolian includ-
ed such men-men possessed of
this unusual combination of musi-
cal knowledge and mechanical tai
ent and experience. It is these
men who have produced such in
struments as the Aeolian Resi-
dence Pipe -Organ-the most am
bilious and costly instrument ever
made-the marvellous Pianola, the
superb Steinway Duo-Art Piano
la and many others.
In the Aeolian- Vocation, prod
uct of the Aeolian staff, the musi-
cal world was introduced to new
and superior phonograph, which
was true musical instrument.
This instrument corrected defects
of tonal reproduction, and sub
stituted for the slightly metallic
tone, which has always been a
characteristic of the phonograph,
a clearer tone of great richness,
depth and beauty.
In addition, it added to the
phonograph the Graduola, an en-
tirely new device for controlling
tone, thus giving individuality to
the phonograph and enabling the
performer to participate, when he
desired, in the actual playing Of
records
