the very ones that need friends and succor; and if any man in Germany thinks we are going to sacrifice any body for our own sake, I tell them now they are mistaken. For the glory of this war, my fellow citizens, in so far as we are concerned is that 1t is, perhaps, for the first time in history an unselfish war I could not be proud to fight for a selfish purpose. but I can be proud to fight for mankind. If they wish peace let them come forward through accredit- ed representatives and lay their terms on the table We have laid ours and they know what they are.
 .'But behind all this grim purpose, my friends. lies the opportunity to demon strate not only force which will be dem onstrated to the utmost, but the oppor- tunity to demonstrate character and t is that opportunity that we have most conspicuously in the work of the Red Cross.

More Than 800 Are Rounded Up in Dragnet of Police and Soldiers, and Many Prominent Dis- lOyalists Are Among Number Prisoners
 Are Placed on Board Ships for Safety

the complicated Irish situation has sur prised the whole of Britain as completely as it did it's victims. Only a few weeks ago Lloyd Georges war cabinet proposed to settle the Irish question by coupling home rule with conscription. It seemed for time that both factions would be placated by thna plat, but after short agitation it appeared that both were ex- cited to greater antagonism than had ex- isted before

Dublin, May 1S.-John Dillon, head of the Irish nationalists has summoned q special meeting of the Irish party to dis cuss the situation.
 London, May 1S-The government has adopted the pollcy of the iron hand in dealing with sedition in Ireland. All the leaders of the Sim Fein society, have been arrested by a swift. comprehensive dragnet drawn by the police and soldiers during the night and early hours of the morning. The movement was apparently complete surprise, and most of those arrested were quickly and quietly placed aboard ships.
 The dragnet swept all over the country and there was no possibility of resist ance. The majority of those arrested were taken from their homes while abed and only few scuffles and little re- volver play took place. According to latest reports, hundreds of arrests were made
 GROUND FOR ARRESTS
 The proclamation by the new viceroy states that the arrests were made be- cause plot With Germany was being fostered. This gives the government ground for justification. The Sim Fein movement has been for long time con ducted in defiance of all civil laws and war prohibitions. but the Sim Fein ead- CTS, except in the case of oratorical out bursts. have not identified themselves with the Germans and so long as the Sim Fein appeared to be a purely Irish movement a considerable section of the English people have been disposed to think that the government might turn a blind eye toward it and trust to the soldier elements in Ireland to maintain a balance.
 DE VALERA IS HELD
 The prisoners rounded up today in- c1ude Professor DeValera, who was the oratorical soul of the Sim Feinn; Arthur Griffith. who. through his newspaper. or ganized the society If years ago. Countess Markievicz who figured dramatically in the Easter instruction in 1916; the small group of Sim Feners who recently won their parliamentary election from the nationalsts and refused to take their seats at Westminster, with various lead CTS of the local branches.

WOMEN OF NATION ARE
 BUSY IN GREAT WORK

It fills my imagination, ladies and gentlemen, to think of the women all over this country who are busy tonight and are busy every night and every day ooing the work of the Red Cross, busy Wlth a great eagerness to find out the most servieeable thing to do, busy with iorgetfulness Of all the old frivolties of their social relationships ready to cur- tail the duties of the household in order that they may contribute to this com
 nor work that all their hearts are en- sased in, and in doing which their hearts become acquainted with each other
 When you think of this, you realize now the people of the United States are pelng drawn together into great in- timate family whose heart is being used TOT the service of the soldiers not only, but Tor the service of civilians, where they suffered and are lost in a maze of dIStreSSeS and distractions

this intimate contact of the Red Cross with the peoples who are suffering the terrors and deprivations of this war, IS eoinr to be one of the greatest in- strumentalities of friendship that the world ever knew. and the center of the heart of it all, if we sustain 1t prop erly. will be this land that we so dearly love.

And one of the deepest stains that rests upon the repu tation of the German army is that they have not respected the Red Cross
 That goes to the root of the mat ter. They have not respected the in strumentality they themselves parti cipated in setting up as the thing which no man was to touch, because it was the expression of common humanity.

JUSTICE AND MERCY ARE
 TWO SERVANTS OF LIBERTY

And you have, then, this noble nic- ture Of justice and mercy as the two servants of liberty. For only where men are Tree do they think the thoughts of comradeship: only where they are free do they think the thoughts of sympathy: only where they are free are they mu- tually helpful; only where they are free oo they realize their dependence upon one another and their comradeship in a common interest and common necessity

THIS WAR IS A WAR TO
 SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLD

May I say this is the duty that
 faces us all now-to serve one another,
 and no man can afford to make for tune out of this war. There are men
 amongst us who have forgotten that,
 if they ever saw it. Some of you are
 old enough am old enough-to re-
 member men who made fortunes out
 of sthe Civil war, and you know how
 they were regarded by their fellow
 citizens That was war to save one
 country-ths is a war to save the
 world.
 And your relation to the Red Cross is one of the relations which will re- lieve you of the stigma. You can't give anything to the government of the United States; it won't accept IL. There is a law of Congress against accepting even services without pay The only thing that the government will accept is a loan, and duties per | formed, but it is a great deal better l to give than to lend or pay and your grea. channel for giving is the Amerl- 1 can Red Cross.
 Down in your hearts you cant take very much satisfaction, in the las
 analysis, in lending money to the gov
 ernment of the United States. because
 the interest which you draw will burr your pockets; it is a commercial trans faction, and some men have even dared | to cavil at the rate of interest, no Knowing the incidental commentar, Ithat results from their attitude.

WHEN YOU GIVE, LET TT BE
 A GIFT FROM THE HEART

'But when you give, something of 1 your heart, something of your soul, something of yourself goes with the gift, particularly when it is given in such form that it never can come back | by way of direct benefit to yourself. You know there is the old cynical definition of gratitude, as the lively expectation of favors to come.'
 Well, there is no expectation of fa- lvors to come in this kind of giving. These things are bestowed in order that the world may be a filter place to live | in that men may be succored; that homes may be restored, that suffering may be relieved; that the face of the | e Ith may have the blight of destruc- 1 tion taken away from it, and that wherever force goes, there shall go
 mercy and helpfulness.
 And when you give, give absolutely | all that you can spare, and don't con slider yourself liberal in the giving. If l you give with elf-adulation, you are 1 not giving at all, you are giving to your
 Town vanity; but if you give until it
 hurts. then your heart blood goes in 1 to it.
