"After studying Ireland for
many years." said Augustine Bir-
rell, former chief secretary for
Ireland, "the main feeling left in
my mind is now, after all the
fighting and revolution and con-
fscation and menace, after all the
penal laws and famines and 1.-THE
wars and coercion acts, after the
destruction Of native industries
and the yearly drain on the popu-
lation by emigration, there are
still in Ireland four and a half
million people, and that the ma
jority Of them still adhere to their
old religion. Such tenacity to
faith is, l believe, almost mex
ampled in the history of the whole
world"

A CHALLENGE TO AMERICA.

There never was a time when
America needed her sober senses as
today-it is a time when selfishness
must be subordinated to the great
task of winning the war.
We are being told by those who
have come from the front that we in
this country haven't begun to feel
the pinch of the war. Except for an
occasional parade orr brass band, a
flag raising, a Red Cross or Liberty
Loan appeal, or something of the sort,
it doesn't look much like war in the
home town.
There are no ruined homes nor
torpedoed skyscrapers and churches.
Our streets are just as they were be-
fore, and we go out to our lunches
as we always did.
Most of us flatter ourselves that, if
we have bought a $50 bond, we have
made about all the sacrifice that, the
country has a right to ask of us.
But-once in a while when the boys
march down the street with flags
flashing in the sunlight and drums

throat and there's a moment when
the picture blurs.
Audience in a while as we read
an account of how the enemy outraged
unprotected women and children, there
wells up a feeling of anger and re-
sentiment which makes us feel, like
putting our fists through something.
Meanwhile, some of the finest fell
lows in this country are freely giving
themselves for service in the trenches
and on the sea and we honor them
because of their readiness to serve
their country. ~
Probably millions of u boys will
go to the front before the war ends,
to do their level best to stop the tide
of red ruin and outrageous killing.
But there's n fact that stands out
clear and sharp as we take a world
wide view of the War-namely, that
we've got to reckon not only with
Kaiser Bill Hohenzollern," but with
'Kaiser John Barleycorn."
Every great general in this war
every great strategist who has had the
courage to face all the facts has
pointed out the danger of drink.
Lloyd George put it this way:
"We are fighting Germany, Austria,
and drink, and as far as l can see, the
greatest of the three deadly foes is
drink"
Marshal Joffre said:
alcohol, by diminishing the moral
and material strength of the army, is
a crime against national defense in
the face of the enemy"
Men with drink in them don't fight
they brawl," said Vance Thompson.
ut is not boldness men get out of
drink. What they get is the fuddled
logic of the maniac"
The nations at wal very soon dis.
covered who their real enemy was. 1t
was not the Teuton and the Turk-it
was alcohol.

CHAPLAIN IS KILLED
FIRST NEW YORK CHAPLAIN
GIVES LIFE FOR AMERICA.

Chaplain Edward J. Wallace is the
first clergyman from New York City
to give his life for his country. Word
reached New York of his death in
France. He was formerly assistant
rector of st. Patrick's Church at Fort
Hamilton and assistant post chaplain
at that fort.
Word of his death came to his moth
er, Mrs. Mary Wallace, at her home in
Brooklyn, from the War Department.
The message said Father Wallace had
been gassed and died of pneumonia
that resulted from his weakened con-
dition.
Father Wallace was commissioned a
lieutenant a year ago and sent to
Camp Lee. From there he went to
France with a regular army unit last
April. He was born in Boston 81
years ago. He spoke eight languages,
was a skilled musician and composer
and popular among the priests in the
Brooklyn diocese.

der the guise of patriotism, relig-
ion or humanity in general, they
ever seek their own aggrandize-
ment. They attach themselves to
any cause that comes along, only
to make use of it as a bark to car
ry them forward into broader and
more pleasant seas Of self-lauda-
ton.
That time assuredly is not the
present. The needs of the fight
ing men-the men who Are uphold
ing the cause of protection and
safety for all-are imperative.
Grandoliquence and protestations
of loyalty are absolutely worthless
unless accompanied by material
assistance. Outbursts Of fulsome
bombast are an insult to the sol
der and sailor unless such ora
tory be but the outward symbol
of real concrete helpfulness,
The quest for funds for our pro-
tectors = for their welfare and
happiness-is about to begin. On
November IL the whole country
will unite in one patriotic effort
to prove to the world that we are
one in heart and soul with the
men who are bearing our burdens
in the world conflict. We are call
ed upon to back up these men to
the very limit. Every citizen, de-
serving the liberties Of a free
country, will promptly, generous
ly and cheerfully contribute his
share to the general cause.
That Catholics should lead in
this herculean task goes without
saying. Catholics are taking a
prominent part in all forms OF
actual work in the war: army,
navy, administrative forces, all
include vast numbers Of our faith.
Our percentage among the fight
ing forces is very high: our obi
cations to those alone would de-
mand great generosity. VT are
called upon, however, to admins
ter not to one class alone, but to
the whole military establishment.
We as Catholics are wont to
congratulate ourselves on the I'M
rivalled freedom we here enjoy.
| But the law of life exacts a return
for every favor: nothing is abso-
lutely free some one must pay for
every benefit in this world. If
gratitude be a virtue, now surely
is the time in which to practice
this golden principle. Besides, the
honor Of the Catholic Church in
this country is at stake. The hier-
archy has pledged itself to accom-
plish for the Church all that is
asked Of it as a Church and as an
organization. The hierarchy, how
ever, alone is poWerless: it needs
and demands cooperation on the
part Of every individual Catholic.
It's request amounts to a com
mand: a command to do ones
duty on a supremely momentous
occasion. Refusal or neglect to
comply with this solemn injunc-
ton will mark a man as unworthy
the name of Catholic as we'll as
citizen.

The Knights of Columbus Com
mission on Religious Prejudices
has just issued a report of its ac-
tivities in a handbook, comprising
many suggestions which, if fol-
lowed, will keep Catholics from
creating any intolerant waves
themselves and will do wonders
in breaking down waves that are
started outside the Church.

President Wilson says: I would
therefore urge that the people con-
tinue to give generous support to
their schools Of all grades, and
that the schools adjust themselves
as wisely as possible to the new
conditions, to the end that no boy
or girl shall have less opportunity
for education because of the war,
and that the nation may be
strengthened as it can only be
through the right education of all
its people.

To Help Sufferers

The appalling disaster which a
rendered countless persons homeless
in the northern part of this state has
served to arouse sympathy and a
spirit of helpfulness in all people. To
this end a collection will be taken
up in all the Catholic churches of the
Archdiocese next Sunday. In this
way an opportunity will be given to
all our people to extend whatever as
sistance is possible to the sufferers in
the north.

Whereas, His Grace, despite the
many momentous duties of his exalted
office, always found time to attend the
meetings of the Society, and by words
of encouragement and burning zeal
showed how near and dear to his
heart was the sacred cause of Gods

Whereas, In his death the members
of the Society feel an abiding sense
of grief and loss that is personal and

PUNISHMENT FOR THE DRUNK
ARD.

A writer in the Catholic Mind says:
The civil law, which views drunken
ness only in its relation to public
order regards it, when it becomes a
nuisance, as an offense against the
state and Furnishes it accordingly;
moreover, as a rule. it holds a man ac-
countable for the acts committed dur
ing that state. T~heologians, looking
rather to its moral side, see in it an
offense against God, for which, in the
words of Saint Paul, those guilty of it
will be punished by exclusion from the
Kingdom of Heaven q Cor. $40.

Note Reassuring to o. 9.
While our answer to the chancel-
lor's note will not be Forthcoming
until President Wilson's return here
today, and possibly not until tomor-
row, when he is expected to go be-
fore Congress, the German utter
ances, it was intimated in official
quarters, should be reassuring to the
American public and the peoples of
the entente nations.
They show the desperate straits in
which both Germany and Austria
have found themselves. II shows the
pressure which Austria undoubtedly
brought upon Germany in the formu-
Iation Of the reply. In short. 1t shows
that the central powers are defeated.
Who would have thought" said
one official last night, that Ger
many, which as late as April was
talking about the dinner Hindenburg
thought he was going TO eat in Paris,
would declare her acceptance Of the
Presidents principles?
who would have thought that Ger
many would agree TO the inde-
pendence Of Belgium and hat ma
tion's indemnification; the restora-
ton of Alsace-Lorraine and au-
tonomous government for the differ
ent nationalities Of Austria Hungary:
the abandonment OF Russian terri
tory, and for that matter everything
else that the President has demand
ed as a foundation OF peace!"
In diplomatic quarters last night
surprise was manifested when the
unofficial text of the German reply
was made known. The disposition of
every one, in both official and diplo-
matte Washington, however, is to let
the President attend TO the matter.
The same distrust over the third
answer. which was apparent II OH
cial quarters. was also expressed by
diplomats, who nevertheless declare
the entire message is one worthy of
the greatest care and caution as far
as the preparation OF a reply to it is
concerned.
