The Fighting Irish

By NoRREYs JEPHsoH o'coNoR
Of The ViSNonsss

Where are the fighting Irishf This
question has often been asked In the
past few months by those who have
continually wondered that Irishmen
could traffic with Germans and. under
the name of Sim Fein, endanger civil
lizatlon. Those who complain thus
have forgotten that noble band of
lrishmen and IrlshwOmen which has
been supporting the war since August,
1914. Officers and men Of the Irish
Guards, the Connaught Rangers. the
Munster and Dublin Fuslliers, and Of
other Irish regiments. have contrib
uted some Of the most distinguished
pages of the history Of the war by
their deeds Of valor, not to speak of
the achievements Of men Of Irtsh
birth and traditions In other regiments
from Great Britain and from overseas.

 DECEMBER DECEMBER 16TH
Supreme Court of the United States Refuses to Review the Famous
 Preparedness Day Case.

WASHINGTON, D. G. After many delays, during the course of which many keenly contested legal battles were fought, the supreme court of the United States has fin ally refused to review the Mooney case, and the condemned man will have to pay the extreme penalty of the law on December 18th.
 Mooney is now confined in a cell in death row, in the San Quentin Cal. prison, awaiting execution. His attorneys stated that the supreme court had, by it's action, knocked the last prop from Mooney, who will give up his life on the 18th of next month unless pardoned. Urgent appeals have been forwarded to the governor of California, who has the power to pardon Mooney. This is the only chance he has for his life.
 Mooney was accused of placing a suitcase containing a bomb on the street in San Francisco during the big Preparedness Day parade, the exploding of which caused the death of many partaking in the parade. He was tried and convicted of the crime at San Francisco and sen fenced to death. On technical grounds and alleging purjured testi- mony, Mooney's lawyers asked for stay of sentence and new trial, and in the meantime the labor unions throughout the country took up Mooney's cause and, for time, a big strike was threatened.
 Governor Stephens of California refused to grant a pardon, even though President Wilson had inter fered in Mooney's behalf.
 After many delays and legal bick- erings, the case was sent up for re- view by the supreme court of the United States, and the judges form ing this court have refused to re- view it.

WITH THE AMERICANS.-Yes- terday the American troops advanced into German territory on their way to occupy the Rhine cities, in terms of the armistice.
 The advance was made without a hitch and in deep silence over an area covered by several villages which were found to be almost de- serted by the German people.
 The German people, at first ap- peared to be very timid and were awed by the spectacle of foreign soldiers marching through their streets, and consequently fought shy of our lads, but when they found that the Americans were friendly, they immediately changed their tao tics and gave our boys a rousing welcome.

FORMER KAISER
 MAY RETURN ID
 GERMANY AGAIN
Former Monarch Fears Disturbance In Holland and May Seek
 Safety In Germany.

acknowledgements received in this city today from Copenhagen indicate that the former German kaiser intends to return to Germany on account of the danger of serious disturbance in Holland. He feels that the Hollanders do not like the idea of playing host to him, and be- lieves that longer stay may have disasterous results for him.
 The Berlin Lokal Anseiger says that it is quite likely that the Sol diers and Workmen's Council, whose permission has been requested and who are now considering the matter, may permit him to return to Ger many and go into seclusion in one of the remotely situated castles owned by him.
 As soon as the necessary permis- sion has been obtained, the former German kaiser will leave Holland for Germany.
