Neutchateau was sent to prison. where he

Dunois. the bastard of Orleans, appeared
as a cousin of the king; while his wife

the monarch from bigamy. Until 1912

something of which the strikers did not

evening. He also remarked on the friend

"You know" he said, chat our bows

months ago. They interfered with some
OF our girls, and our boys fought them

Evidently the beginning of perfect
friendship.

Edifying details of the Communistic
Congress at Moscow are communicated to
The London Daily Telegraph" by it's cor
respondent at Stockholm. We read:
"In the Swedish paper 'Nya Dagligt
Allenhanda a correspondent from Russia
speaks of the latest events in Russia and
the present situation there. Regarding the
last Communistc Congress in Moscow he
says it attended by 4O3 delegates.
about 305 of whom information was Oh
tainabe. Only 100 were Russians, and
there 40 Jews, 81 Let's IL Ukraintans.
10 Poles and q from the frontier states,
besides one German and one Frenchman.
Their ages varied from sixty-one to
sixteen.
"Of the 305 delegates referred to 1874
had been imprisoned for a total period of
315 years, 19 had had penal servitude for
a total period of 96 years, while 104 had
been banished to Siberia. SO that scarcely
anybody had been unpunished in this IL
lustrious assembly. According to the code
of honor of the Bolsheviks, representatives
OF communism can only by penal servtude
obtain the necessary conservation. For the
whole of Russia only $4,000 communists
were represented, and for Petrograd there
were only 10000, against As, 1000 in july
1917.
"a political rapprocnement between the
Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks is now i'm
possible. The Mensheviks had prepared
revolt in March, but were discovered and
punished. Chinese and Let's were the
executioners. great many Menshevik
leaders have been arrested during the last
Few days. Russia being an agrarian coun
y, the Bolsheviks have to look for their
support to those peasants who have re-

only confines his prisoner, but safe
guards him.
But it is said if Germany is shackled
in military way that she will mediate
and carry through dark revenges. Those
who thus argue that Germany should
not be made dangerously ugly are
seemingly blind to what is coiled in their
premise. Do they not see they are in
citing Germany to be ugly-that they
are telling her she is the victim of in
justice and that renewal of the con-
fict is warrantable? Here, indeed, is
propaganda carried on by alleged
paclfists which is not pacifst. Not by
saying to an unrepentant burglar that
the jury should have acquitted him, or
by giving back his kit bag, with keys to
reformed.
The lessons sought to be drawn
from AlsaceLorraine, the partitions of
Poland, etc, and the bitterness they left
are misleading. The seizures of Posen
and the French provinces did not leave
bad consequences because one flag went
up and another came down, but because
the substitution was wrongful.
The pacifst who argues for Germany
is commonly in the grip of funda-
mentally false postulate. This postulate
is that the responsibility for the war
is jolnt-that Germany was no more to
blame than her adversaries. This is
seldom openly said. On the contrary
the alleged pacifist, when forced to con-
slider how the war came, generally
acknowledges Germany was to blame,
but as soon as the tension is relaxed
flies back to the familiar business of
exploiting conclusions which have little
pertinence except on the hypothesis of
community of guilt.

marked man for life, even if nothing worse
happened to me-"
The strikers were no respecters of per-
sons. AT the beginning one of their chief
supporters was DR.. Hallinan, the Catholic
Bishop of Limerick. few days before
the strike ended he sent one of his SER
wants into Limerick to make the usual food
purchases for the household. But the
strikers intervened
"Tell the Bishop" said the picket in
charge of the shop, that if he wants food
he must come and fetch it for himself,
like every one else"
And the Bishop Vent
And the Bishop, much to his ANNOYANCE
had to go. 1t was obvious after that that
his enthusiasm for the strike waued
visibly.
The younger priests, to a man, were
rabid supporters of the strike. Thew
preached sermons upholding the justice Of
the movement; they exhorted their hearers
against any form of violence and warned
them especially against allowing the chill
dren to offer any provocation to the SOL
dlers or police. They served on the vari-
Gus committees appointed to superintend
food supplies, etc, and one or two were
even appointed ministers in charge of
departments" Sim Fein will never
die while these young priests are its
principal propagandists.
The people, and especially the lower
classes, regarded the strike as kind Of
holy war, and were filled with a fanatical
zeal for the cause. A young English Of
Ger came into a hotel one day and asked
for drink. The waitress muttered some
thing about foreigner" under her breath
and turned fiercely upon him.
care you a Sim Feiner?" she asked.
"Of course" said the officer, jokingly.
Would you lead your men against the
strikers?" she insisted.
Il should have to obey my orders" was
the reply.
Then you get no drink from me-" said
the waitress

The prohibitory law whose repeal with
respect to wine and beer is recommended
by the President says:
"After June 80, 1919, until the conclu-
sion of the present war and thereafter
until the termination of demoblization,
the date Of which shall be determined
and proclaimed by the President of the
full to sell for beverage purposes any dis
titled spirits"
AS to beers and wines, the prohibition
seems only against manufacture, not
against sale. So one school Of interpre-
ters holds the sale of beers and light
wines will be legal without action either
by President or Congress, though new
supplies may not be manufactured.
In any event it would seem the Presi-
dent may do as he pleases. If he de-
clares the period Of demobilization is
over it is over. BY June so our domestic
military forces will be down to peace
basis, while those on the other side are
IN regions where intoxicants are in
abundant supply, and on arriving on this
side are promptly discharged.
But the President holds he lacks dis
cretlon, assumes that the prohibition at
taches to the sale as we'll as to the manu-
facture of wines and beers, and ventures
no opinion as to when the demobilization
period Will be ended by proclamation
from him. 1t is not easy to follow the
argument.
1t is difficult to resist the conclusion
that the prohibitory question is in poll
tics, and that on both sides exists a de-
sire to lodge responsibility on the other.
Reports from Congress are that it pro-
poses to hand back the package deHv-
cred to it. There is q common desire to
please the "wets" and not to offend the
"drys."

We went back, and shortly after the
town clerk arrived at the hotel. We asked
him what was the matter. He explained
that the strikers had called on him a little
time before and told him to close the door
of his Offices. He refused, explaining that
the law compelled him to keep open the
door between the hours of II and 4.

the strike.

Li111erick;s s Soviet
By F. A. Wray

r MERCK, April 26.--The most amaz-
ing feature of the strike at Limerick
was not that it lasted only twelve
days, but that it should ever have held
out as long as it did. 1t was entirely I'M
premeditated; there was not an atom of
preparation. Resolved upon by small
group of labor men at II p. m on April
IL, by O'Clock next morning it had been
accepted and acted upon by the entire CITY.
From the start the citizens realized that
the strike could only injure themselves.
nevertheless, they held out until ordered
back to work by their chiefs, and showed
a power of endurance that many had pre-
viously never suspected
Another extraordinary feature was that
once the strike committee took upon them
selves the power to run the city nobody
ever questioned their authority. Thew
placed their pic!lets where they pleased:
they issued proclamatons and orders and
pasted them up in any place they chose
but none, police, military or civilians ever
thought of objecting. The only opposition
that occurred at all was to their action in
deprlvlng the city of all artificial light
Here public opinion agreed that this was
against the common safety, and the COM
mlttee promptly withdrew its edict Other
wise, If shops were ordered to remain
closed the order was strictly complied
with; if ordered to open within certain
hours the utmost punctuality was observed
IN opening and shutting
At the Drug Store
To any one not actually present it is
difficult to convey the seriousness with
which the position was regarded. I went
into drug store one day to buy several
things. The proprietor asked immediately
II l had permit from the committee. I
answered that the soviet, as it was gen.
orally termed, had not yet sat that day,
but if he would let me have the things
which I needed I would get him the per-
nit later on.
'You will do nothing Of the kind he
replied, II am a member of the soviet
myself, and it is my duty to see that the
law is obeyed"
And it was best not to question the au
thority of the strikers. One dav the
town clerk telephoned to myself and two
other newspaper men to call up and see
him at his office. We were approachinp
the door when a whistle suddenly blew
and twenty strike pickets appeared from
the clouds and surrounded US
"You can't go in there" said one of
them.
