In tho harbor in which have anchored
so many millions OF men and women
seeking now homes in land where all
human beings arc free and equal ana
possessed Of the same inalienabie rights
there - a statue dedicated 10 liberty,
and there is an arm raised high into
the heavens and in the hand is grasped
the blazing torch Of liberty.
Most Delawareans have seen it, All
Delawareans have seen pictures OF II.
Many Dclawareans have climbed TO the
top Of It and viewed New York harbor.
Il is the far-famed statue of Liberty,
by Bartholdi.
Coming within sight Of that statue
exiles and refugees have fallen upon
their knees in steerage and cabins, TO
thank their God that the light OF liberty
east fits humanizing glow over them.
And the rest Of US who never have
known any other land as home, have
come 10 regard that light Of liberty as
thing fixed and permanent as the sun
itself. II is hard for US TO believe that
this most wonderful Of all man-made
lights may be darkened-and by enemy
Of our country. and our liberty. We
have long seen that light Frightening
the whole OF our land, from Atlantic 10
Pacific, and we have seen Il eneourag-
ing the growth Of liberty In other lands.
And so we see II as light everlasting.
But there Is an enemy of liberty-Our
enemy-whO would sacrifice millions Ol
lives Of German workmen to eStinguish
forever this light Of liberty. That enemy
IS the war party Of Germany, led by
Wilhelm Hohenzollern.

Pope Neutral In Irish
Draft Controversy
ops-CardinaI Logue Supreme in
Such Matters in ireland.

Rome, Sunday.-The Courier dItal-
ia, a semi-official Vatican organ speak
ing with reference to the attitude of
Cardinal Logue concerning co1iscrip-
tion in Ireland, says:
"The Holy See always has left the
episcopacy of each country free to
take the attitude they think best in
the internal affairs of their country.
Thus whatever Cardinal Logue may
consider expedient to deal with con-
scription in Ireland cannot affect the
impartiality and neutrality of the Va
tican in this war, nor be considered as
a violation of the policy constantly
followed by the Holy See since the
war began.
Cardinal Logue presided over the
Irish Catholic Bishops Committee at
meeting recently held in Dublin, at
which a resolution was unanimously
passed protesting against conscription
in Ireland and declaring that to en-
force conscription without the consent
of the Irish people would inevitably
end in defeating it's own purpose.
