 Capt stephen Gwynn, member of parliament for Galloway City, address ed large meeting in theA chamber Of commerce today. He said America was wondering why Ireland had gone cut of the way. Ulster had not re- fuesd conscription, but tine rest of Ire land, which had refused it, was all the more bound tD help voluntary re- cTuiting. How could Ireland, he asked he neutral 10 America or be an enemy of Americas closest ally?
 The recruiting council. continued Captain Gwynn, were anxious to get 50.000 men, to avoid cOnscription, but if they failed to do this there was the gravest danger of conscription and in military judgment the equivalent of 50 900 Irish volunteers would be 150,- 900 cOnscripts.

 The fact that there will be no change proves untrue the statement that Dr. Von Kuehlmann retired be- cause his policy suffered shipwreck. His policy was to assure the father land a speedy and honorable peace and this aim remains the immediate task of his successor. If the latter's policy should differ in detail from Dr. Non KuehImann's it cannot be called more patriotic or better"

spirit of liberty tearing down old walls of oppression forever As individuals these men were monsters, and viewed from the staring frightened eyes of their day, their acts were crimes But as a whole, these men were nothing more or less than the culmination of l700 years of oppression. cruelty and woe, and their acts, viewed by the ages that came after them, were as glorious and fine as that of the angel that led Peter from the walls of his Roman prison.
 The mob of Paris, led by wild and wolf ish leaders, had destroyed the Swiss guards and seized and sacked the palaces and killed the king and flushed the gutters with blood, but still the revolution was not an accomplished fact until the shadow cast by the walls of Bastile was no more. The kings prison was as mighty as the king.
 And so it was that on the Fourteenth of July over 100 years ago, one set ot Parisians stormed the Bastile, and then later, another set erected upon the site ot this famous monument to kingly power, a beautiful column, known as the Column of July, and this column means as much to France as ever the Bunker Hill monu- ment meant to America, or ever will mean. For those wild Frenchmen who razed prison for glory shaft had suffered almost as many centuries of oppression as the American colonies had years. It was not the spirit of independence that made the taking of the Bastile possible, 1t was the spirit of despair. Hence the natural vio- lence and terror and cruelty and crimes of the French revolution.
 But make no mistake about those Frenchmen of that day. They are not to be named with or compared with the Kus- sians of today. France of the revolution deserted no ally, for she had none. Every country of Europe had king then, and every king moved against France. And these Frenchmen, born again of the miracle breath of their revolution, went forth to battle on their own borders and beat the might of Prussia at Valny, immortal as one of the decisive battles of the world They settled their own affairs, these French. They killed their king and his nobles, 1t IS true, but they were willing to die before any foreign power should detlle their own land They kept their borders inviolate until they had worked out their own destiny of freedom. They even made Napoleon an emperor and followed him to the greatest glory any nation of the world ever knew. They voluntarily gave up their freedom once under the spell of the great Little Corporal, and they lost it again to others who came after him, and who were very small, but not for long; not for long. The Bastile was no more, hence no ruler could long keep the Parisian in bond age.
 And on the Fourteenth of July, soon to come this year, this column of July, radiant ly adorning the dismal ground where the blghting shadow of the Bastile fell, will iIlumine the entire world with the splendor of its glory, born of liberty burning bright CT every year, and tested now as no up reared column\of human liberty has ever been tested since Pharoah set the children of Israel free.
