HaPPY GREETING
Of NEW YEAR

Celebration Of the new year in Pen
sacoIa was probably on a less pre-
tentious scale last night than has
heon known here in the past, and
there were several good reasons Civ
en- for this soft pedal welcome. Wits
tics shrieked. bells rang out, auto
horns disco-dantlv disturbed the
ni~ht air. and fireworks threw brT-
liant flare through space at inter
walls, but it was not .ceable that the
demonstration was less noisome.
Steam fuel conservation and other
arguments were used to keep down
the 3iu, but the spirit was just as
enthusiastic.
At the several dances. which were
given last night, the midnight hour
was danced through, and it was not
until we'll into the new 1918 that

THRILLING SITUATIONS
Photoplay In Which Jewel Carmen
Stars Has Good Story.

Have you ever been faced by a
debt that to you is tremendous and
where there seems to he no possible
way of paving 1t? Have you ever
faced ruin and moral slavery because
OF your WILLINGNESS to save allothe'
md contract financial difficulties +"
Fave you ever been willing to give
away all that your profession and
your life has stood for by assuming
m obligation that means slavery to
you?
Hardlv anyone In the world has
faced such a situation. But it is
exactly just the conditions that the
young clergyman in William Fox's
new phot1piay, '"The Kingdom OF
Love-, which shows at the Bonita
today, finds himself. 1t is necessary
for him to buy the woman whom he
loves in order that she may be saw
ed from degradation.
She is moved by the highest mo-
tive, that Of saving mothers life.
But this will not help her
when her soul has been sold. The
clergyman who is penniless, offers his
position, his profession, his career
end his life to prevent this WON
ans tremendous sacrifice

stantly attending his efforts and those
of his ill-omened helpers, the Turks.
The Germans, who certainly never
miss a point in their efforts to under
mine their opponents morale, seized
on the legend. Varying it to suit
their purpose, they spread the story
far and wide that when the statue fell
France would lose the war. Now, the
town of Albert possesses a most pa
triotic and efficient parish priest. No
sooner did the Hun version Of the
story reach his ears than he sought
out skilled blacksmith. The two
ascended the half-ruined tower, sur
veyed the broken base, and so braced
and riveted the statue in it's recum-
bent position that fall it could not un-
til the tower itself gave way. So, for
many day, every British Tommy
who marched to the front along the
road to Bapaume raised his wonder
ing eyes to the Madonna high above
his head, and few there were of any
denomination who failed to find in it's
strange attitude a species of benign
benediction. At last, during those
black days of last March and April,
the seemingly impossible happened.
The British line bent before the fury
of a German assault. aided, as it was,
by long-continued fog, and the Hun
was once again in Albert. When the
British retired the statue was still in
tact, but, whether by accident or de-
sign is not yet known, the Germans
brought down the tower, and with it
fell the, Virgin and Child. And here
comes the strange part of the story,
to which latest development public at.
tention is now directed for the first
time. Hardly a yard farther did the
German advance progress. From that
day to this the gray-green hordes have

Address at .E'ag-Raising
by Prof. Michael G. Rohan
The Following Patriotic and Interesting Address Was Delivered
at FagRaising in Merrill Park Milwaukee, on October
2eth by Prof. Michael 6. Rohan.

After all that has been so we'll and
eloquently said this afternoon, to at
tempt to elaborate on it, by an elev-
enth hour speaker, would be like try
ing to add glory to the American Flag,
and that flag, my friends, irradiated
with brighter radiance during the
last eighteen months, needs no en-
cOmiast.
You have listened with interest to
the analytic and patriotic speech of
our great citizen and eminent jurist,
Judge Backus; you have hung with
bated breath ON the words of a great
American, Mr.. Kershaw, who has por-
trayed for us with the descriptive
powers of John Bunyan and the
grasp of the mighty Edmund Burke
the cause for which we are assem-
bled; and last, but not least, we have
the unique, the distinguished honor
of having for our chairman gentle
man who, i'm youths roseate morn,
when this country was in the throes
of a mighty conflict, fought by gal
liant soldiers on both sides, barred his
young breast to Southern steel, thus
rewriting with his blood the newborn
American independence.
What then, fellow citizens, is there
for me to add? Nothing! My vision
as to what to say is not as keen as
was that of fellow 1rishman, who
was pitted in a wager of ten dollars
against an Englishman and German
as to how far they could see with the
naked eye. The Englishman said that
on clear day he could see distance
of one hundred miles from his porch;
the calculating German claimed that
he could see one hundred and twenty
miles from his porch; and the Irish
man, who did not have any porch
claimed that he could stand on the
levelest field in ireland and with the
naked eye see the sun, 95,O00,0O0 miles
away. Could Judge Backus or my
friend Kershaw or any jury deny the
prize to this versatile son of Erin?
And as to throwing my voice as fal
as the speakers who have preceded
me-there is some excuse for man
who, in one year recovered from three
major operations, and who was give1
but six hours to live on two occasions

The world war has wrought strange
phenomena in the history Of the Irish
race. While Irish swords CLEAN in the
world Of arms the Irish tongue is
tied, both by the fats of governments
and by the hands entrusted with the
defense If Irish principles.
For, While in Ireland the Defense
of the Realm Act" and in the United
States the Espionage Act, have dealt
blow Of death to many Irish news
papers and magazines, the amazing
spectacle has been offered of the sup
preston of Irish periodicals by men
whose patriotic and religious duty it
was to publish them.
The exigencies of war, creating cir
cumstances of repression in action and
censorship of utterance, seem to have
established fashion-a most extra
ordinary and perilous fashion-of arbi-
trary exercise of power by those who
supervise the liberties of the press" I"
This fashion has stimulated the imi-
tative faculty even in the executive
and legislative bodies entrusted with
the guidance of beneficial, fraternal
and social organizations. These bod
les seem to have been inoculated with
some mysterious obsession that they
| had been constituted by the world war
into little governments. Unable to
! WELD military power or to establish a
diplomatic corps, they proceeded to
where all governments we're killing
their enemies, at least one of these lit
tie initiative governments proposed to
kill its friends. 1t Is thus that the Ma
tfonal Board of the Ancient Order OF
Hibernians suppressed its own maga.

An Irish Revival Of the Penal Laws
History repeats itself. But what
dreamer would foretell that Hiber
mans would revive the Penal Laws
The Penal Laws were imposed by the
enemies of the Irish race to perpetu
ate ignorance, yet infatuated mem
bers of that race pursue the same
policy today; and it will inevitably Sc
cure the same result.
