Chaplin 0'connor Refutes
SIanderous Charges
Continued from page y

All the chaplains, no matter what
the denomination, are zealously work
ing for the men under their charge
and they all insist that whatever a
mans religion is he should attend to
that form of worship every Sunday. In
our regiment, all the men leave quar-
tiers at certain time, the band lead
ing, and half the number goes to serv-
ice in one church and the other half
marches to second church not far
distant. While the Catholic services
are being held at both churches at the
same hour, Chaplain Rollins holds SER
vice for the non-Catholics in chapel
of one of these churches. Thus all
the men are provided for, while the
men in our other camps are cared for
in similar manner. Confessions are
heard every Saturday afternoon and
evening, and it is safe to say that
these boys scarcely ever were so faith
full at home regarding the visitation of
the sacraments.
Knights Of Columbus.
l want to say word about the work
of the Knights of Columbus. The
order sent Mr.. Walter N. Herman to
Paris as it's accredited representative.
Few can realize the work that de-
volved upon him and the difficulties he
had to contend with in the setting to
work to lay the foundation for what
was to be accomplished. l had my
own little say couple of months ago.
and expressed my wonder if anything
was going to be DONE
was not in a position to know any
thing about the arrangements that
were being made, and l wrote to the
officials in America asking many ques-
lions. Il had occasion to make a bust
ness trip to Paris in the interest of
the regiment, and there I found Mr..
Herman patiently working to get all
the wires moving in the proper direc-
tion. He presented his credentials to
the proper authorities at the A. E. F.
headquarters and was most cordially
received and his work approved. He
was assured that every facility would
be accorded him to promote the work
which the Knights of Columbus have
undertaken to do along the same lines
as the Y. M. c. A. and the Red Cross.
Priests Assist chapIains.
I was particularly anxious to get
some priests to work among the men,
to work with them along recreational
lines, and at the same time to minister
to them, if necessary, in religious
way. l had been up to this time
"Fording" it around three or four days

Conner, and we found in all the New

Shame Makes One Forget.

Forgetting is strange phenomenon.
According to the modern psychologists,
we are most apt to forget those things
that we do not want to remember-es-
pecially those of which we are
ashamed.
In an address on criminals who are
on the border line of insanity, 1eliv-
cred recently before the Clinical So
ciety of st. Elizabeth's Hospital, Wash
ington, DR.. Leon Emile Duval told of
many mentally unbalanced men who in
their normal state could not remember
disgraceful deeds they had done, and
said this was to be explained on the
basis that ut is the thing of which we
are ashamed and which conflicts with
the customs Of society which is soonest
relegated to the realm Of the uncon.
scious."

constituted as the convention n.
at least 80 of it's 80 members womb
have jumped at such an agreement
only that the tremendous majorities
against the Redmondites at the q.
Clare and Kilkenny elections struck
terror into the hearts of the shakv
mayor and county councillors who
form three-fourths of the Redmondite
majority in the convention.

which the Redmondites accepted it IS

upon.

Sim Fein and anarchy"
THAT is the kind of cry that NAV
suit Mr.. T. p. O'Connor with innocent
American audiences; but it does not
impose upon anybody in Ireland. Tho
claim that the Redmondites represent
the only possible constitutional move
ment is disposed of by the fact that
the Redmondites had nothing whatever
to DO with suggesting the convention
but, on the contrary, spent Is years
IN bitterly opposing the policy of an
Irish settlement by consent, though
they are now clinging to it as to their
last plank in the wreck they have
made of their own policy of subseryi-
ence to the English Liberals"
But surely the Sim Feiners are
not 'constitutionalists?'
Every Irish movement is called
unconstitutional until it succeeds.
There is not reproach levelled
against Parnell's movement in far

do you, then, believe Sim Fein has
any practical alternative program?"
THAT remains to be seen. Sim
Fem has saved the country from par
tition, from conscription, and from
parliamentary corruption of very
horrible kind. Sim Fein was the only
force of public opinion left on Ireland
that could have done it, Three such
services are in themselves sufficient
to make 1t duty for all patriotic Irish
Nationalists to give the Sim Fein
leaders perfectly fair field to show
the stuff they are made of.

their reign will be short one. If
they do prove themselves possessed of
these qualities, they must have the
same fair play that Parnell got.
The government that called con.
vention with the protested object of
giving Ireland home rule will have to
call a more representative one, if they
don't want home rule to haunt them
at the peace conference. And the Irish
people who would joyfully accept do

offered it, will sit tight and make short

1T is war measure, and in that

Will lead, or is intended to lead, to an
adequate measure of Irish freedom is
another question. If the convention
should agree to dominion home rule
its success will be instant. Dominion

before it on referendum; but nothing
else will satisfy Ireland"
What are the chances of such an

But may they not agree upon some

The one project on which the Red
mondites and Carsonites could, and,
were it not for the g. Glare and Kill

have agreed, was the revival of their
