THE CALL FROM IRELAND.

WALL nSVU tn..UNOs
Amid the thuhdrous roar of battle,
A voice rings DER the sea;
IT'S the call from Old Ireland
To this Land of Liberty.
Asking us, as men of honor,
When the war draws to an end,
Will we stand up for her cause,
Will we then her wrongs amend?
Asking us if we remember
How her sons came DER the sea,
And fought the foreign foemen
Who would curb our liberty.
Asking us if we remember
Fredericksburg and Bunker Hill,
Where her sons, in countless numbers,
Their hearts red blood did spill.
How they proved their worth at New
Orleans
And made the foemen rue
The day he ever challenged
The Red, the White, and Blue.
How they fought for our freedom
AS could boast no other land.
Shall we then refuse to listen,
Or hold back helping hand?
Too long we've watched you suffering,
Land of Emmett and of Pearse;
How you fought the foreign yoke
For seven hundred years.
Speak up, then, fair Columbia,
Let not Junkers mar you way;
And prove to Old Ireland
That the debt you will repay;
That you'll place the Green Flag
Ger Ireland, proud and free;
That you will right her wrongs
And defend her liberty.

YOUNG AMERICA AND THE
LOAN

The publicity bureau of the treas
uTy department has been sending out
some information about the Liberty
Loan and included in it is reference
to President Wilson's idea of enlist
ing the boys and girls in the work of
negotiating the loan. He has muster
ed into the army of workers for the
third loan the Boy Scouts Of America
and Girl Scouts. The bureau says the
work of the Boy Scouts in the two
previous Liberty Loan campaigns was
an inspiring feature. In the second
campaign they obtained 533, 900 SUBJ
scriptions for over 500, 900 900 worth
of bonds. The work of the Boy Scouts
and the Girl Scouts in this great ma
tional effort will be not only of great
practical service to the country, but
Of good educational value to the boys
and girls in preparing them for pa
triotic useful citizenship. The pa.

means good citizens and good Ameri-
cans in the making. They are the

THOSE NTERNED GERMANS

One of the anomalies Of the war IS
the treatment accorded the informed
Germans in this country. Believed to
be dangerous to the government they
are well housed, well fed and well car
ed for in other ways by the govern
men- which opened it's doors to them
and whose confidence and trust and
opportuntries they have abused They
owe everything they have to the nA-
ton which they would destroy The
laws Of the country have protected
them. The opportunities have Ell
abIed them to- accumulate wealth.

beretactor and have sought TO stab

While American fathers are sending
their so1s TO the battle line to destroy
the CURSE Of Germanism and are
bending their backs more TO the task
Of feeding those boys and the people
who are fighting with chemr these
alien enemies are being fed on the
best Of the land and are neither pro-
ducing nor laboring. There is no rea-
son why everyone Of these Germans
should not be put to work producing
for the people If they are dangerous
put ball and chain on the ankle Of
each and make them work under the

for sugary words and honeved meth
DDS in dealing with the Germans is
past. Those who are not for US are
agsingt us. II German in the Unit
ed States is for the government he
has had ample opportunity to prove
it and the American people will &C
cept at full value his acts as bond
for his Ar1ericanism- Il ne is not
for us he should receive no advantages
and profit by no considerations OF
mercy. He should be made to do his
part under conditions which will not
leave him any opportunity to do harm.
When the war is over these Germans
will insist on resuming their occupa-
ages victory will bring to this Re
public, without having suffered any Of
the ilconve niences. We are in favor
Of a law requiring their deportation
just as soon as they can be sent out
Of the country without carrying with
them dangerous information. The
German character is revealed in all
its hideousness by the war. None OF
the real German made brand of the
present is desired in this country.
These alien enemies are the same
people with the same ideals as those
who tranpled Belgium into bloody
wsllow; who spared neither age nor
sex; who outraged little girls and
disenbowled babies; who bombed hos
pitals ard murdered Red Cross nurs-
es; who turned over to the brutal
Turks million Armenian people of
all ages Of both sexes to be butcher
ed in cold blood; who struck medals
to celebrate the murder of women

rights have these people in a land
where humanity and justice and lib
erty are TIE cornerstones of the struc-
lure of government? Away with
