British Chaplain
Charmed With
italian People
Piety Of the People and Industry of
Both the Women and
Children.

Travellers in Italy have frequently
dwelt upon the sterling qualities of
the people, as shown in their piety,
their love of art and literature, and
their strict adherence to the essen
tials of faith in spite of frequent laps
es in non-essential matters. The trav-
eller who tells of plain fishermen re-
citing their Dante and Torquato Tasso
vouches for the living union between
the people and their art and literature.
Now comes chaplain, to whom the
Italian people seem ever so strange,
but who needs must admire the basic
religious convictions and the piety of
the Italian peasants.
A British chaplain, writing from the
Italian front to the London Tablet,
thinks that "Italy is rather nice
place." though not then seen at its
best. He then proceeds to give the
following observations on the people:

are very religious-from every little

Happiest and Most Prosperous coun-

vous of People From Other Lands
II This Would Only Be True?

Writing in the Evening Sun of We'd
nesday the Marquis De Fontenoy says:
To most people on this side of the
Atlantic Ireland passes for a country
torn asunder by strife akin to civil
war, where every mans hand is
against his fellow man and where all
are against the Government, and
where discomfort, poverty, even star
walton, stalks through the land.
This impression is scarcely in keep
ing with the real state of affairs. In
deed conditions are so infinitely SUI
perior in Ireland to what they are in
other portions of the British Isles
that every one who can afford it is
flocking from England, Scotland and
Wales, even from France, to Erin for
amusement, relief from the severity
of state regulations, and above all
for square meal.

of Lords at Westminster the other

various necessities and luxuries of life
which are so vigorously restricted, ra
toned out or entirely forbidden in
England, Scotland and Wales, remain
entirely uncontrolled in Ireland.
1t is only quite recently that the rule
of rationing sugar-more honored in
the breach than in the observance
has been introduced. That indeed is
the only article rationed.
Elsewhere in the British Isles it is
impossible to obtain "gas" for auto.

constantly becoming more and more
rare. In Ireland people, even those
at odds with the Government, can

declaration by George Sylvester
Viereck, alleged pro-German publicist,
in testimony given at the inquiry here
into the Teuton activities in the
United States.
Viereck, who, as editor of the for
mer Fatherland, attended a conference
of German officials and propaganda
representatives in this city, favored
purchase of important newspapers in
all large American cities, according to
statement today by Attorney Gen.
eral Becker.
Planned to Control Press.
As a witness in the investigation be-
ing conducted by the attorney gener-
ais Office at the request of the de-
partment of Justice, Viereck declared
that if string of influential newspa-
pers had been bought with German
money, I'VE could have arranged that
America would never have entered the

From federal officials it was learned
today that the grand jury will report

obtain all the gasolene they want,
sometimes actually for the purpose of
motoring to take part in prohibited
meetings. In England horseracing has
been reduced to less than half doz-
en- small meetings at Newmarket.
In Ireland horseracing is fourishing
as never before, largely because all
the stables and the sporting concerns
have migrated from England to the
Emerald Isle. Fox hunting, coursing,
whippet racing, even the old ancient
sport of cockfghting, are booming
without restriction, and junketing is
going on just as if there were no war.
Farmers Obtain Big Prices for Thier
Products.
The Irish farmer is able to obtain
far bigger prices for his cattle, his
sheep and his pigs than the Govern
ment allows in England, Scotland or
Wales, and horse shows, more num-
erous in Erin than in time of peace,
offer opportunities for merry gather
ings. In England even the King and
Queen have to content themselves
with oleomargarine in lieu of butter
But in Ireland the tourist or the resi-
dent can have all the butter he wants
So it is with bacon, etc., with other
farm produce.
No wonder the English and the
Scotch are looking with jealous and
envious eyes toward Ireland, to which
they have given the name of "the
Isle of Sanctuary" since there is nc
CONSUMPTION or forced draft there and
man need not give his service tc
the state, or rather l should say tc
the nation, unless he feels so inclined
Slackers from England, Scotland and
Wales endeavor to escape to Ireland
to avoid the draft, regarding it as
an island of refuge. 1t is now the
land of milk and honey, the land of
joy and of junketing, instead of the
Niobe among nations.

MEN WHO
ARE DOING THINGS

At seventeen, John D. Ryan was
selling calico in one of the chain of
general merchandise stores run by his
uncle in the mining districts of Mich,
igan.
At twenty-five he was selling lubri
eating oil through the Rocky Noun.
and at thirty-tive he was in charge of
the affairs of the Amalgamated Cop
per Company and engaged in battle
royal with one Fritz Augustus Heinze,
who then occupied the copper throne.
Ryan joggled him off and today at
flfty-three he controls the Anaconda
Copper Company, Of which he is pres
ident, and which contributed $1,000
600 to the war fund of the national
Red Cross, of which Ryan is a mem.
Der.
But this is only one of Ryan's
achievements. Without money, tech
nical education or financial training he
had won his way before reaching mid
die age to the part ownership of a
string of banks, had built the most re-
markable electric power enterprise in
the land, and was a director in many
big financial and industrial organiza
tons of the country
That's Ryan, the man selected to
speed up the construction of Uncle
Sans air fleet. AS chairman of the
cooperative committee on copper OF
the National Council of Defense he is
we'll known in Washington.
Ryan comes of good old mining
stock. His father discovered what are
now known as the Copper Range
mines of the Lake Superior district
OF the career of the copper king, Les,
lies says:
Shortly after John was born at Han
cock, Mich, on October 10, 1865, the
family moved to the Calumet & Hecla
mine. Mining, however, had no par
ticular attraction for the boy. His
parents desired him to go to college,
but he preferred to begin work. When
seventeen he entered one Of num-
Der of general merchandise stores in
the copper district of Michigan which
were owned by an uncle. For eight
years the future copper magnate
weighed sugar, measured calico and
wrapped up parcels behind the coun-
ter, working, as was the custom, a full
round of the clock daily. From this
uncle, who was the leading merchant
in that part of the country, he picked
up more or less business information
and insight, but he had no ambitions
