HOME RULE FIRST

Americas participation in the war
is the trump card used by the Irish
Recruiting Council formed to put into
effect the governments offer 20 accept
go 900 voluntary recruits from Ireland
in place of three or four times that
number of conscripts.
They are publishing widely the dec
arations of American Cardinals,
Archbishops and Bishop an evidence
of cordial participation in the war
by Irish Catholic Americans. They
point out thai the war is as much
Americas and Frances as it is Eng
lands and urge freshmen to take fair
share in it,
So far they seem to have made only
a slight impression. Nationalist de
clare that if Ireland is to take an ac-
live part in the war it must first have
home rule.
The Ulster party is willing to ac-
cept conscripdon.
According to the latest announce

suit may be three months hence. the
forcible application Of conscription OF
everywhere in Ireland out
side Northwest Ulster 1t has been de
3ided to divide ireland into ten acres
and apportion to each the share ofthe
10000 recruits il ought to furnish. Any
area which furnishes its quota will be
held to have satisfied the claim upon
t. and will be thenceforth free form
the application Of CONSUMPTION. It
is regarded as certain that Belfast
and the Northwest area will readily
provide its share Of the voluntary re-
crui;s, and doubted whether any other
part of Ireland will do so.
The result would be that the only
part of ireland which now decalres its
Willingness to accept conscription
would be the only part free from it.
The rest of Ireland would be a chaos
of violent opposition and resistance.

LAFAYETTE DAY

New York, Aug. 1S.-For the proper
celebration throughout the United
States on September 6, Of the 1G1st an
niversary of the birth of Lafayette, the
Great French hero and friend OF the
American colonies, the American De-
Tense Society has issued call to the
people of the United States emphasizing
the national debt American owes La
fayette and urging Americans'to repay
part of this debt by annually honoring
his name and memory
This is also the anniversary Of the
inst battle Of the Marine in 1914, and
through the cooperation of the two
hundred and seyenty-six branches Of
The Society, and of many civic and
patriotic organizations who have al.
ready volunteered to help in making
lafayette Day a great success it Is ex-
}ected that it will be fittingly observed
n every city in the United Etates. The
call which is signed byCharles Stew
art DAWSON, Chairman Of the Socety's
Board of Trustees, Says:
at seems very right and fitting that
Americans should honor the name
md memory Of Lafayette or september
9Th out of the gratitude that is
trong that will never wither or die
in the heart of Americans and I
urgeall patriotic Americans TO dotheir
art toward seeing that this day is
fittingly observed throughout the cou
ry. Through Lafayette and his devo-
ion to our cause, France and the Uni
ted States fought shoulder to shoulder
1T Yorktown, and through their co-ope-
ration the independece of the struggl-
ing colonies was realized and the IL
5erty Of a whole continent assured.
To-day as we plan to celebrate the
birth of Lafayette his country is tax
ng part once more in war of in3epen-
dence. a war which will save, and has
already saved civilization and freeing
stitutions from the menace Of autocr-
lcy and militarism. The Battle of the
Marine fought and won by Lafayette's
countryman, Joffre, makes of the 9th
day of september a date memorable
not only in the history of our coun-
try but the annals of civilizationIn
this year we are preparing in some
;nod:cum to pay the Unreasonable
debt we owe to France and French
men.
at is the hope of the American
Defense Society that every man,wo-
man and child in the United States
will become interested in perpetual
ing Lafayette's memory We urge
that statues of Lafayette be decorat-
ed throughout the nation on Sepem-
Der 6.
For nearly a century and half our
speech in America has evinced our
gratitude to Lafayette and what he
he stands for Now let our acts on
September attest the sincerity of
our words.'

THEY ARE BUSY NOW

American soldiers during their
brief leisure moments, are wander
ing through ruins and over fields made
familiar to students of history by
centuries of wars and revblnt.onE.
Some of them have already fought
on the scene of some of Napoleon's
operations in the region of the Marine.
Some are training over ground where
the Normans fought the French and
where the French fought the Span

iards. Later, they will, perhaps, be
marching in line of battle over the
country where the French and the
Germans have fought again and again
and where they will help the French
and he British in the last Of the wars
to devastate the smiling valleys OF
France for centuries to come.
Nearly the entire history of France
is pictured all over the areas occu-
pied by the Americans in ancient
churches which, along with object les
sons in history will give the attentive
soldier an enlarged appreciation Of art
and architecture.
Asked to what extent the men were
profting, an officer of the American
force said that after getting located
the soldier takes the first opportunity
to explore the neighborhood. To use
one of the British terms that is Ia
ing root among the over seas men
they push off" into all the hooks ard
corners. If their conceptions of what
they see is often vague at first they
soon get the habit of observation which
developes into taste an ina goodly
number of cases becomes study.

The people of Mississippi took the
scalp of James X Vardaman in the
primary this week when he asked
to be reelected to the United States
senate He lost because he had
shcwn a yellow streak in his support

NEW JAPANESE DEMOCRACY

DR., Inaza Nitobe, who is we'll
known in the United States through
his lectures in that country, warns
Japhnese bureaucratic statesmen
that there is a new movement of de-
m0cracy among the japanese people
and that a high-handed policy will
precipitate an Cutburst Of dangerous
thoughts. In an article in a Japan
csc publication which has attracted
considerable aftention he says the
bureaucratic statesmen are treading
the path to ruin which was followed
by the Toiugawa Shoguhate states
men before the revolution of 1868
TIE bureaucrats he asserts regard
socialism as a dangerous though, but
they do not realize that there is a
beneficial monarchical socialism
when 1.-The King is the faithful ser
want of the people" In this sense,
DR.. Nitobe thinks, Japan is the fore
most champion of socialism i'll the
world.
bureaucratic statesmen, he
writes denounce socialism as darf
gerous thoughts introduced from Eu
rope and America, but most Europ-
country are surprised at the prevail
ence of socialism here to an extent
such as can be seen nowhere else
Dr. Nitobe declares that Japanese
attitude towal!ls democracy the
same mistake they have committed
towards the beneficial form of socia-
lism. There is a sane democracy. he
argues, just as there is a dangerous
democracy, but the bureaucrats, be-
contends, do not differentiate be-
tween the two. He criticizes them
for shuddering at the mere idea Of
democracy as if it imperilled the gov
eminent and the Imperial family,
Everything appeared calm now. he
continued, but it was well to notice
that democratic sentiments are ra-
pidly disseminating throughout the
various strata of society.
D. Nitobe concluded" Bureaucra-
tic statesmen in Japan are too blind
to, and too ignorant of, the new
thoughts which are sure to spring
from among the people who have
awakened either with the advanced
times or through their impulses OF
life. In consequence, they are call
ing forth still more dangerous
thoughts. They think of nothing but
repression and exptirp3tion in deal
ing with the new thoughts. They may
be dreaming Of sitting on their usua
safety-valve forever but they will
be able to hold the political safety
waive only so long as the populacC
whose mEermost hearts are seething
with new sentiments. remains silent.
