ed.
"They are told that the Lord Lieu
tenant, the Chief Secretary, and the
British Government are engaged in
an abominable conspiracy to blacken
the fair name of Ireland by accusing
some Irishmen of plotting with Ger
many AS the Irish are a gullible PEG
pie, at least In some respects, and
nurtured on hatred Of England, they
believe it.
German money has well spent, and
with its aid many of the Irish people
have been convinced Germany will
win the war They believed it at the
time OF the Easter rebellion of 1916,
and they believe it now.
But in every heart there is more
than a spark of manhood, and If the
true facts are brought home to the
Irish people, that spark will become
blaze CT Indignation against the in
humanity of the German nation When
once aroused, there will be no falter-
ing. But it is not just to blame the
Irish people until the facts have been
put before them
Our object in forming this com
mttee is to put the facts before them.
1t is useless to expect their political
leaders or the newspapers controlle
by those political leaders 70 tell them.
there is too much jealousy between
tie different sections. Bur cannot we
fathers, whose hearts are in The battle
fields where our sons are corving,
place in the hands of every Irish
householder extracts from the news
papers of other nations?"

JAPAN AS A GUIDE.

Belief that Japan has right to
guide the Entente Allies in the far
East according to her own judgment
was expressed at a resent mass meet
ing of the Kenseikai political party
by Cotaro Mochizuki, prominent
member of the Japanese Diet. DR..
Mochizuki was a member Of the mis-
sion composed of Japanese statesr =
which recently visited the United
States.
"If the United States refuses to
agree to the dispatch of Japanese
troops to Russia Internationally it
must be said to be due to her lack of
the proper estimation of the capabolo-
ties of Germans misunderstanding,
added the speaker.
Germany, he said, was looking with
covetous eyes toward Siberia and the
unlimited millions Of wealth there,
and steadily is extending her influ-
ence eastward.
at would be no exaggeration to
say" continued Mr. Mochizuki, that
today japan stands in the most mon
ent0us period in her history and a
false step would plunge her into an
irratreivable predicament. The Rus
sian collapse has caused Germany to
devote her attention toward the West
ern front but even surprising that Ger
many succeeded in breaking through
the Allies line it will not mean a fatal
blow to the British as they command
the supremacy of the sea and the same
may be said of the United Safes
The speaker predicted that it would
yet be q long time before the Allies
would win the war.

There was some nerve in that Fin.
nish general who called on American
Minister Morris the other day and
asked what chance there would be of
getting food supplies for the Firms
from the Entente Allies. Morris gave
him the swift kick in terms somewhat
polite, but the Finn got the meaning
The American minister assured the
Finn leader that there would be mo
body home" so long as the German
government directed the affairs of
Finland. And this is the government
which jumped up with a threat of
war less than a week ago. The Fin
nish. general might have thought he
could get food from us on which to
conduct his campaign ia the interest

WHY IRISH DELAY?

One of the best moves yet in Ire
land is that of the Irish Publication
Committee whose duty is to get the
Irish to lay aside their quarrel with
England and go to the war as have
the Americans. Frederick w. Meri-
dith. leading Dublin business man.
who has three sons in the war. heads
this movement. His first utterance
strikes to the point and explains
much:
81 cannot help feeling that, if the
opinions of other nations were brought
before my countrymen, they would
cease from sulking and skulking, and
take their proper place in the great
fight
Neither the Nationalist leaders
nor their newspapers have told the
Irish people what other nations are
saying about them. On the contrary.
they are letting them believe that all
the nations will consider them the
bravest of the brave if they stay at
home and keep on shouting Death
Before Conscription.' Not only is the
ruth about what other nations think

One of the best of present session
measures to pass the legislature was
the school tax law that went through
the house on Wednesday, This will
enable any county or municipality on
a majority vote to levy a school tax.
Heretofore it has required two-thirds
OF those voting Many county and

The measure was made constitu-
uonal amendment and was proposed
by Representative Davis of Laurens

KEEP THE RosRER DOWN.

Germany must not be allowed to
prepare for another var by growi4 &
rich in competition VIII nations whose
industries she has all but destroyed in
this war. That would be permitting
the robber to set UP business in the
store he has robbed" says Herbert
S. Houston, a New York published.
Mr.. Houston, who is former pres
ident of the Associated Advertisers
Clubs, urged the business men Of The
allied nations to get ready to meet
the German comercial drive, which, he
declared, would come after the war.
After the tragedy of being UMPIRE!
pared for Germany's military fist
despite it's menacing jabs and thrusts
for forty years." he said, Let us not
be unprepared for the blow of Ger
many's commercial fist They are
both war-like fists, right and left arms
of Prussia's autocratic and ruthless
power.
when this war for freedom is won,
when the great day Of reckoning com
es, then will come the day when pat
riotic business in al tho free nations
must smite the mailed fist 1t must be
driven home that German business
cannot be allowed to rise and pros
per on the ruined industries Of Bel
GUM, of France, of Italy yes, and of
Observation-Disclosures ruined by the mailed
fist Of Germany The monstrous in
Justice which such result would
mean for our brave allies must be
made so clear that way faring man,
though pro-German, would under
stand and heed.
Within a month have seen an able
and exhaustive plan prepared by
Great German engineer and business
man recently published in German in
which the most suble and indirect way
are outlined for gaining a strangle
hold on the business of the world |
And bear in mind that not German
factory has been injured during the
war Every one of them is ready to
begin production the minute the war |
ends and is prepared to push produc-
ton at top speed in order to get a
running start in the worlds markets |
against the countries whose factories
have been destroyed by German guns.
But as business men we must not
be satisfied with the feeling that we
want to strike-instead, We must per
sistently, designedly, unitedly pre-
pare-to strike and determine to strike, |
not merely for fundamental CONNER
cial freedom but for the permanence
of the Fundamental political freedom
we are going to gain in the present
war Business must be used as an in
ternational commercial force, just as
our army and the amy of each of our
Allies is today used as an information
al military force. The only way that
can be done to through League of
Nations that will hold them. Surely
no one can be alive in the free ma
tions today, if his eyes are but half
open, who does not clearly see that if
the present League of Nations now
for civilization should dis
band when victory is won. Germany
would defeat them Independently and
when she had organized
her next war. The only sane. strong
way to prevent that catastrophe is to
organize the present League of Free
Nations. Then organized business in
the League of Nations could go for
ward and rebuild the waste of war |
and become a mighty agency in pre-
venting future wars"
