Sir e. Carson's Responsibility.

National News. What is the
good of Ulster holding out for it's po-
sition in the British Empire and the
British Constitution were swept away
by the victorious march of Germanys
troops over the devastated and con-
quered Europe? We are told that the
Ulster Covenant still exists, and exer-
cises a binding force upon all who
subscribe to it, No one knows better
than Sir Carson that the Ulster Cove
nant was ever an illegal and, on
strictly ethical grounds, an immoral
document. 1t was wrong and sinful
aye, even we might almost say
criminal--ever to have conceived this
Covenant. The crime now is in at
tempting to keep it and to maintain
it as a righteous act.
1--WE understand that the position of
Ulster both inside the Convention and
outside of it, is one of no surrender
A splendid motto in a worthy cause,
but when obstinately applied to sit
uation such as now exists it is moth
ing but sublimated madness. Should
the Convention fail, the Government
must step in and impose it's settle
ment. Otherwise we see evil coun-
sells availing in Ireland, and troublous
times in store for the causes for which
we are fighting.
Vital Decisions Before Tuesday.
Irish unity there must be. Old
landmarks of racial strife and sect bit
'"rness must be swept away if Ireland
is to be saved for great and noble
causes. If Ireland is to have self-gov-
eminent, grant it to her, and don't
make it a question of foolish bargains
about receiving her support in the field
in return. Bargaining will do no
good"
Convention Personages.
The Dublin correspondent of the
National News" remarks that "the
tension of anxiety in Ireland with re-
gard to the fate Sof the Convention
has reached stage that is almost
painful. 1t is an open secret that the
parties to the deliberations will have
to make up their minds to vital de-
cisions before the Convention reassem-
bles'
The National News says-"To the
general surprise Lord Middleton be-
came prominent parsonage in the
Convention and has earned for himself
reputation for craftsmanship which
those who recollect his career in the
House of Commons when he was Mr..
St. John Brodrick would hardly have
guessed at.
another leading force is Most Rev.
DR.. O'Donnell, who prominently led the

by an Ulster man of business, Mr..
Pollock. Sir Horace Plunkett has
proved most assiduous in the chair"

An American public schoolboy,

While it is tragically sad, there is
nevertheless certain humor about
catholicism; at least, it frequently
gives expression to unerotic fatalities
which cannot but evoke smile. Re-
call the story of the railroad accident
in Ireland (Carson's north), when a
dear old Soggarths going from one to
another of the dying to give the con-
solutions of the Church, came to Casey
and, not knowing whether he was a
Catholic or Protestant, asked him to
make sign or say word to show the
priest he wanted absolution. Thus
admonished to show his religion-the
whole of it-Casey with great effort
raised himself to sitting posture, and
as he fell back, gasped with his last
breath, ITO hell with the Pope!"
Another instance: There are in the
army, says the Catholic Universe"
many men who are willing to discuss
religion when conversation on every
other subject has been exhausted. One
of them asked Catholic soldier to
tell him something about his church.
The Catholic replied in mock earnest
ness: "Of course, we don't believe in
the Bible; we pray to Our Lady much
more than to God; we pay sixpence or
more for every sin we commit; we buy
indulgences; we worship idols; we -
Eyes, know all that" interrupted the
inquirer seriously; "but tell me some
thing else about it,.
A priest conducting a mission for
Mrs. Calvin's friends was answering
the queries dropped into the question
box. He came to this one: II can
agree with good deal you say, but l
can't go with you to Purgatory" The
phraseology tickled the missioner's
Gaelic sense of humor. Lowering the
paper, and assuming very solemn air,
Father D. said Look out. my friend;
you may go farther and. fare worse"

81 MEN ARRESTED nv
THIS CITY ON CHARGE
OF BEING SLACKERS

Although some men are being
picked up on the streets by the vari-
GUS police officers a majority of the
arrests have come as the result OF
trips made to the large industries
where hundreds of men are employ
ed. The first of the series of these
raids was conducted early Wednesday
morning and others continued We'd
nesday afternoon and yesterday In
order that the men working in the
various shifts might be approached
and questioned as to their standing in
the draft.
A raid on slackers has been going
on in New York City for long time.
but the first wholesale roundup OF
alleged slackers occurred here last
week. Outside detectives came here
and took into custody eighteen men.
Up to that time local police officers
had been picking up men charged
with evading the draft at the rate of
one or two a day. Determined to
show the federal authorities that tho
Perth Amboy police could round up
the slackers without the aid of out
of-town detectives the Amboy officers
Immediately began systematic drive
against slackers.
County Detective Richard Peltier
has been named by Adjutant General
Gilkyson as his representative in
Middlesex county to arrest slackers.
Two men who endeavored to smug-
gle bottles OF beer into the fail where
some OF their friends were being held
as slackers. were arrested yesterday by
Patrolmen Morgan and Underhill, who
were on duty in the police station.
The men endeavored to hide the bot
I ties under their coats. Both were
fined $50 by Recorder Piokersgill this
morning. Tho men were Basso Broch,
forty-eight years old. of 799 Central
avenue. and Joseph Silva, thirty-seven
years old, of III Hall avenue.

flled to capacity and CROWDS OF
friends and relatives have visited the
fail several times q day during the
time the men have been detainea.
More than 100 men have been
caught In the net which Is being
woven about the men, most OF whom
are foreigners who evaded the oratt
nv either failing to register or pro-
perly filling out their questionnaire
and securing their Identification cara.
The offer of the government OF Se9

am Incentive to the local police. The
noliceman making the arrest musl
pay out of the $50 the expenses OF
getting his man TO camp. The money
given by the government is taken
from the salary of the Stacker. In
this way the government does not
lose any money and the policemen's
work is made worth while.
