IRELAND'S ENEMY.
Times:

The Irish situation is well put by the New York
Times:
If Irishrcen demand Justice. they
ask be privileged from the imperious duty
which Of their blood and name here and in
Canada and Great Britain have shrunk
from. Above all, ii Ireland, this critical point
in war, shirks. malingers. resists. continues
to stand apart from the last stand of free in
stitutions. hat friends what hopes, what flu
ture not inglorious and despsed. can it look
for?
IF lrishmeh Ireland expect any help, any
good offices. from America. they must help
America If they worthy of freedom,
they sight for it. If they choose he
effect allies Of Germany, they enemies,
and they deserve the German tyranny they
vite."
This plain speech but ;he sort Of speech needed
in Ireland today. And there signs that the Irish
people hearing little of such wholesome truth az
home, and beginning to heed IT,
They have been offered home rule and conscriptiou
together. The sober-minded among them realize
that freedom and military service natural
partners They know that Ireland may have freedom
whenever Irelaod herself agrees on the method They
must that whatever Of freedom they may
gain will slip their hands unless they fight for it.
and that the enemy for them fight is not England
but Germany.

may twice as long as that. and
it may be only half as long. More

STORY OF A FAMOUS STATUE
Bronze Piece, Work Of Leopard,

Being Badly olshgured.

Another statue that has been con-
veyed by sea and landed safely in
Rome Is the great equestrian one of
the famous General Colleoni, which
stood on Its lofty pedestal In the Cam
po Of IS. Giovanni Paolo. Ruskin
says Of It: 81 do not believe there is
a more glorious work Of sculpture ex-
Isting In the world" This statue is,
Of course, OF bronze. and was mod
eled by the Florentine sculptor and
painter Andrea Verrocchio in 1881, as
sisted by his more famous pupil, Leon.
ardo da Vinci, Rev. Alexander Rob
ertson writes In the Christian Herald.
After Verrocchio's death, Il was cast
in bronze by Leopard.
There is story told to the effect
that when Leopard had finished his
work, he quarreled with the republic
over II. As he could not come to a
settlement. he knocked of the horses
head and escaped to Florence. The
republic ordered him to return, but
he refused. saying: II have knocked
OF the horses head, II is true, but
can put II on again; but II ! come
to Venice md you take off my head
you could not put II on again" The
republic forgave him, assured him of
his life and reward. and he returned
and finished his work.

No, Easy to "oet on the Earth"

that man Is practically prisoner upon
the earth's surface, even the aviator

100000 tons.
The muzzle velocity of a shell from
the most powerful cannon is about s.
900 feet per second. but this projectile
will fall to the ground after traverslng
a few miles. so its speed would have
to be greatly exceeded by the lndividu-
al desiring to penetrate into space.
