Won TIRPITZ ACCUSED OF
LACK OF FORESIGHT

Amsterdam, April 30.-(Corre-
spondence of The Associated Press)-
In the scurrent number of the Prus-
sische Jahrbucher, Professor Hans
Delbruck, German historian accuses
Admiral Won Tirpitz of lack of fore
sight during his term of office in the
matter of construction of submarines.
"Von Tirpitz was fascinated with
dreadnaughts," he says, "and even
during the war hindered the construc-
tion of new submarines, in the belief
that the few he had consented to
build were sufficient to beat England
in few months"
Delbruck calls upon the Reichstag
to order an investigation into Won Tir-
PITTS naval policy.

CARDINAL GIBBONS MESSAGE

There is in these times a veritable
ocean of sorrow and suffering engulf-
ing millions of souls, and a society
with the membership and resources
of the Red Cross, actuated as it is by
Christian principles, can best under
take the tremendous burden of ex-
tend intelligent and efficient relief.
In particular approve of the Red
Cross activities as they are directed
towards supporting the courage and
caring for the injuries Of our young
soldiers and sailors. 1t is my earnest
hope that all of our people will cheer
fully and generously cooperate with
the Red Cross committee in their eff
forts towards reaping the fullest
measure Of charity that it may be
possible for the society to attain.

Archbishop of Baltimore.

One of Our Best.

John Purroy Mitchell was grandson
of the exiled Irish editor-revolution-
list of the same first and last names,
and son of a captain of the Confed-
eracy. He won his spurs by uncover
ing and fighting bad city government.
He succeeded Gaynor-most pictur-
esQue of all New York's burgomas-
tiers and the supreme letter writer
among all mayors anywhere-and at
thlrty-five himself became the best as
well as the youngest of that city's
chief executives. Mitchell was defeat
ed for reelection last fall in spite of
all his services; not partisan preju-
dice alone, and foiled craftsmanship,
and organized little-mindedness de-
feated him, but also the hatred and
untruth of that section of the New
York press which seemed disloyal to
the nation. Without the can't and
pretenses of the typical reformer,'
Mitchell enjoyed life; was a liberal
interpreter of the city's pettier laws;
frankly enjoyed ice skating and the
one-step, and rifle shooting at his
camp in the hills. Mitchell gave the
greatest city in America a business
like administration wherein experts
Il. e., the best men he could find }
played a prominent role; but to ex-
pertness was added common sense
nothing grimly academic about Mitch.
ell, in spite of Columbia University
John Mitchell believed in the justice
and necessity of our war against Ger
many; he fitted himself at Plattsburg
for an citizenship even while he was
still mayor; later he made his convic-
tons good by going into the most
dangerous and most attractive branch
of the army-service in the air. II
was a soldiers death that Mitchell
died, early this month, on a flying
field in Louisiana, and who shall say
that his death does not crown a ca.
reer which every American, and
especially every American of the Irish
breed, may envy him? Mitchell rose
to real heights; and now he is above

Ex-Governor Noel and Congress-
mar Pat Harrison, the other two
candidates for the Senate, are men
whose political past have been above
reproach, and either n of them will
represent the best that there is in
Mississippi politics. Noel has been
more or less interested in public at
fairs all of his life. He served as
State governor from 19OS-1912, his
administration being singular and
free from scandal or criticism. At
the end of his term he retired to pri-
vate life and his law practice and
never re-entered public life until the
present crisis.
Congressman Harrison is a young
man, being less than 40 years old. He
was elected to Congress from the sea-
coast district about eight years ago
and has actively and effectively sup
ported the President in all matters,
and by so doing has made the State
a brilliant representative. q

A Refrain Without Rhyme OF
Reason.

On the occasion of Senator Var.
daman's speech at New Albany
last week the audience was asked
to sing America" after which a
minister was requested to offer
prayer. We wonder if this could
have been the way that song was
rendered:
Ny country tits Of thee
Sweet lard of liberty,
OF thee ! sing.
Land where my fathers died
Land Of the pilgrims pride
From every mountain SIDE
Let freedom ring.
Refrain
If we have war with Germany it will
be after Germany has made every pos
sible concession to avoid it.
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free
Thy name | love,
| love thy rocks and rills
Thy woods and tempted hills
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
Refrain:
Germany has always been more OBJ
servant of international law than have
the Allies, Down went the Lusitania
to the bottom of the sea.
Let music swell the breeze
And bring from all the trees
Sweet freedom song.
Let mortal tongues awake
Let all that breathe partake
Let rocks their silence break
The sound prolong.
Refrain:
Then again it was proposed that il we
did not fight Germany now stab her in
the back while England and France
have her down-that we would have to
fight her alone.
Our fathers God, to Thee,
Author of liberty
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright
With freedoms holy light
Protect US by thy might
Great God, our King.
Refrain:
have always thought that tets war
was purely a matter of pecuniary ploft
and | THINK SO STILL. Anyone who
says | am not patriotic is a damned liar.
Brother Smith lead us in prayer!
