About the Irish Question.

Omaha, Dec. Ito the Editor
of The Bee: I read with pleasure
the letter from Michael O'Connor of
Greeley. His question is logical when
he asks, could it be possible to en-
barrass England by asking it to give
to Ireland what it demands for Ser
bia and Belgium" And his reason
Ing is likewise sound when he says,
Self determination will apply to
Ireland as much as to Poland or BO-
hernia, or any of the small states Of
Europe" Mr. OCOnnor mentions.

some resolutions in congress looking

IN MEMORY OF OUR FALLEN
SOLDIER BOYS

He Is not dead; tbs but the shell
That lieth here so cold and still;
He who but yesterday
Did greet US with a smile
Hath but preceded US
Across the bridge
You and | must cross
In the afterwhile.
And in that land where God hath decreed
All strife and tunult cease.
Our soldier boy today
Doth dwell in peace,
Mayhap with him who,
By the irony of fate,
Became his foe.
Who 'mong US all
Doth dare TO say.
1T Is not So"
