Home Rule Fo, ireland

Editor Daily Tribune: Dear Sir:
Will you allow me few words about
Home Rule for Ireland? / am led to
make this request because Of the fact
that It has become q live question just
now in the United States, and because
an Injustice should be done none of the
people concerned.
The Hon. j., p. O'Connor, now In
the U. s. A., in the Tribune May 18th
save, give Ireland Home Rule now
and then give to an Irish parliament
the question of CONSUMPTION" or words
to that effect. s5. \,
| Now let me hasten to second, this
question. Provided the agreement Is
carried out that was entered into by
the British government at the begin
ming of this war.
When this war began the whole
question Of Home Rule for Ireland as
it then stood, whatever the agreement
as to terms were, was to 3hemain with
out action Sor enforcement until after
this war. With that understanding
the matter SO far as an international
question is concerned was considered
settled. -5ssa
The recent determination to force
CONSUMPTION and Home Rule at one
and the same timeo on all Ireland
has reopened the whole question. Just
now the distinct impression has been
made on the public mind In this coun-
try that, in all likelihood an Irish par
Lament would pass a CONSUMPTION
bill for Ireland IL given Home Rule,
and second that, the Ulster factions
alone by opposing Home Rule are
standing in the way of CONSUMPTION.
It happens, as we sometimes say that
nobody in the United States SO far as
l can observe, has q word to say In
defense of the attitude Of the people
of Ulster in this matter. Instead OF
Ulster being opposed to Home Rule
they are perfectly willing that all the
rest of Ireland except the counties
claimed, shall have Home Rule. They
are not now and have not been OPP
posing Home Rule for the other 26
or q counties of ireland. In the Sec
ond place the Sc0tch-1rish people and
leaders in Ireland are now and have
from the beginning been In favor OF
conscription for all Of Ireland. That
the same laws apply to Ireland as to
the rest of the British Isles.
This new cry for Home Rule first
and then CONSUMPTION while it may not
be SO intended would force Home Rule
upon the people Of Ulster not as 1t was
agreed upon but now while the war
is on. Let the war be settled and
then let this question be taken up.
Just word. more, President Wilson

Speaking of the editorial war conference, tt
Amidon Press man, Nonpartisan, says:
It was rare pleasure to meet the state
officials at the capitol. Efficiency is
stamped on every person and act. There is
not so much hilarity about call at the
capitol as in the old time days, but one is
given to understand by everyone about the
building from janitor to governor that they
are there for business and nothing is too
trivial to get proper consideration, and the
democratic spirit prevalent makes fellow
feel as if he had stake in the welfare of
the state.
We enjoyed meeting again former neigh
bors from Pierce and McHenry counties in
the persons Of State Treasurer Steen and
Justice "A. M. Christianson Of the supreme
court. They seem to be the same kindly
men they always have been in spite of their
exalted positions We neglected to bor-
row money from them, but believe it could
have been done if we had thought Of it in

Thus, by giving up the hills, which
they could not mine, the Indians would
still have far more land than an equal
number Of white men could possess BY

Kidder reminded congress that the In

The story is not one of aggression

copy of the Popleton map of the city. 1t
is excessively rare, not more than two copies
being known. 1t is said the city, the New
York Public Library and the Library of
Congress all lack it in their collections.
Popleton was engaged to make the map
at the time he was serving as engineer Of
the city water supply, having been brought
from Baltimore, his home city, for that
work. A sound copy of the map turned up
in one of the sales of storage effects some
years ago, but it was 80 badly soiled it
brought only a small price. The pur-
chaser had it cleaned up and properly
mounted so that it was in very fine con
dition. 1t is improbable this copy can be
purchased. Map experts place value of
$50 on it.

1t is quite remarkable thar Of all the men
who signed the famous document Lynch
is the only one of whom this can be said.
The only form in which specimens of his
writing appear is his signature, usually
found in books that were formerly his.

Taffrail Falls Short
in His New Book

THE success achieved by the British
writer of naval tales who styles
himself "Taffrail," in describing the life
of an enlisted man in the British Senior
service in the story called Pincher Mar
tin, o. d., has not been duplicated in The
Sub: Being the Autobiography Of DGrid
Munro, Sub Ljrutenant, RouaI Ndry As
the purpose of the previous book was TO
give complete picture in narrative form
of the life of the Clover deck" in the
British navy previous 10 and during the
present war, so in The Sub we have a
similar effort TO portray the career of a
junior officer from the time he enters the
Royal Navy colleges at Osborne or Dart
mouth until he endures his baptism of fire
in actual battle
Possibly for the self-cortessed reason
that "Taffrail' did not work his way
through the naval colleges there is an
artificial "boy's book" atmosphere about
the beginnings of this tale. That is no
excuse, however, for the unusually dull
piece of padding TO be found in the whole
chapter devoted TO an unseemly row in a
cheap auction room.
The chapters on routine training of
Young officers are pretty dull reading; in
fact the only parts of the book that ap-
proach the wholesome and spirited reali-
ties of Pincher Martin are those devoted
TO the Subs life on the DESTROYER II. NJ. S.
Lictor. The descriptions of the battles of
IIeligoland Blight and the Dogger Bank
do not approach the Admiraltys official
account for completeness or spirit.

"IIe has not Gomez He has been mobil-
lied. And he has not had any leave"
The necessities OF war are an old story
with French children. 1t is good to know
that their Christmas was made less lonely
by the trees and gifts provided by the
unit.
The illustrations are peculiarly French
in spirit and the most charming that We
have seen in any volume of this sort, and
of such As the one of child who is "as
old as the war" it is hard to find words
which convey its pnthos and humor
What Miss Gaines says of the French
soldiers on leave we quote as being par
ticulariy impressive:
They were never boaStful, these sol
diers; they had just estimate of the
German strength of organization; they
had no illusions as to their own personal
fate. Each one expected to die at his
post. Patient, sturdy, intelligent, they
gave one confidence that, however heavy
the dawn bOmbardmentS, our lines would
hold. And if our lines, then all the lines
manned by them with such spiritual as
well as physical courage. The morale of
the poiu, unninching, will yet win the
war

ID UTH GAINES in 4 Village IN Pic
IN Grdy tells the story of SIX months
work behind the French front, especially
in the village of Canizy. the best loved of
all the villages by the Smith College Re
lief Unit, of which she was a member.
When the Germans retreated the last time
they went so rapidly that they did not
quite complete their destruction, but they
left behind "a silence of industry, of ag
riculturc, of all the normal ways of life;
silence which has given the plain of Pie
ardy the name of 'the Land Of Death" 1t
was this that the American girls in the
Smith unit faced and overcamc in part.
This chronicle was begun when the road
TO Canizv, the well loved, had seen three
momentous troop movements, and since
then has come the fourth, the advance of
the Germans in March, 1918, when mem
bers of the unit carried on their work of
rescue under actual enemy fire during
great offensive, thus winning Il distin-
guished place among relief workers.
Miss Gaines's story is Of noble tasks
well and modestly accomplished in the
face of the greatest difficulties, and she
has told it with much pa.hos and a saving
grace of humor refreshing 10 our harassed
minds. In 1914 Canizy had AS inhabl-
tants and at the time this book was writ
ten 100 An appendix TO the volume
gives the histories Of forty-scven inhabl-
tants and what happened TO them. 1t Is
a narrowing recital, and one does not
wonder that one of the villagers in show
ing a picture Of her daughter said
"Thank God, she was happy. She died
before the war;
1t is the children alone who are gay, and
Miss Gaines speaks of them often. MY
memory of Robert she says, ''is Of tire
less feet that twinkled almost as merrily
as his eyes. 1t vas no hardship for him
to walk the eight miles back and forth to
the chateau of morning for his quart
can Of milk" The attitude Of the parents
and other older villagers was suspicious
at the start toward these American women
who walked about alone in the mud and
did things very much out of accord with
French ideas of propriety. There was
NJ. Touret who regarded Miss Gaines
doubtfully during a call and finally said,
"As for you, l 10 not know what you
NAV be, but as for me, am a Christian"
Later the inhabitants grew TO regard the
women as tools of Providence, but in the
end there came a real sense of gratitude
for the great kindness that they had
shown.

Flashes From the Front. Linn county,

This is a garden, Linn county must know,

Gen Pershing's don't worry policy is
part of philosophy that he has worked

He believes in difficulty as the very staff
of opportunity. Gen. Pershing has right
to his view of the relation between diff
Guilty and opportunity. If he should be-
come a great General, a co-deliverer of

ism, history would put him alongside Lin
