SIGNIFICANCE
That Is Inseparably Associated
With the Evacuation of
Boston.
st. Patrick the Password and Gen.
Sullivan Officer of the
Day.
Large Number of Irish Helped Com
pei British to Leave the
City.

Each year the demand is mad.
to have March II declared holi-

it makes precious little difference
whether official ukase has so sane.
toned 1t or not, but there is some
thing fascinating in the setting aside
of day and labelling 1t in honor
of some event. In Boston, more
especially than elsewhere, this day
would seem to deserve such recog-
milton.
In. the first place Boston is today
the Irish-American city OF the coun-
try. Some claim that distinction
for New York; figures show that in
proper proportion OF Irish to the
whole population Boston has the
point of saturation; the greatest
density. Hence March II is primal
in Importance to Boston's majority
population as the birthday of the
saint who means so much to the
Irish people-St. Patrick. But
those Irish people are also American
citizens, and today they are much
interested in the fact that an event
in American history is being made
memorable-and what is of interest
to Americans is. of interest to them
as American citizens. Hence the
double aspect of the day to the Irish
element in Boston's population.
First as to the historical aspect
because 1t is proper to speak about
ourselves last. You will recall the
occasion for Evacuation day. 1t
was Just after the battle of Bunker
Hill. when with Washington on hand
to direct things, 1t was determined
to drive the British out of Boston.
Dorchester Heights was fortified,
and in the army before Boston dur
ing the nine long months OF the
seige were many of the greatest
soldiers of whom the Continental
army could boast. Washington was
in command. but at the head of an
important division was Gen. Will
lam Sullivan. He had brought to
the army the force of Irishmen re-
cruited from among the Irish emf
grant settlers at the South Atlantic
coast-men who responded to the
call of the Continental Congress
with a devotion and an enthusiasm
not even bettered by followers of
Mahommed. Besides Sullivan, the
most prominent Irish officer was
probably Stephen Moylan, Colonel
of "Moylan's Dragons" an effective
force which aided consid-
erably in the work of investing the
regular British troops.
Col. Moylan was a man of great
experience. He was born in Cork,
where he was educated and where
also his brother was the. Roman
Catholic Bishop. Amid all the
worry and trouble Of those awful
days of sieging Col. Moylan re-
tanned his good humor. and the
sallies he made TO encourage his
men were famous in their day. You
have heard of HIS laconic message
written in January. 1776. Every
thing thaws here" he said. Except
old Put (referring TO Gen. Put
nam). He is still as hard as ever

DON'T sCOID.

For the sake Of your children
don't do It. 1t is a great misfortune
TO have children reared in the pres
ence and under the influences Of
a scold. The effect of the ever
lasting complaining and fault-find-
ing of such persons is to make the
young who hear it become unamia-
Bile, malicious. callous-hearted, and
they often learn to take pleasure
In doing the very thing for which
they receive much tongue Iashings.
AS they are always getting the blame
for doing wrong they think they
might as well do wrong as right.
They lose all ambition to strive
for the favorable opinion of the
since they see they al
ways strive in vain. Thus a scold
Is not only a nuisance but q de-
stroyer OF the morals OF children.
IF these unbeloved dreaded people
could only see themselves as others
see them, they would flee to the
in very shame.

soldiers marched out of Boston, and
this section OF the country was free
from theip NNrries during the re
manning years of the war.
Gen. Sullivan, who commanded
a division at the siege, was the son
of an Irish immigrant and was him
self born in Berwick, Maine, whithe.
his father. John Sullivan, had set
tied in 1896. The General was but
thirty-five years of age at the siege
of Boston, having been born in
1741. AS soon as the Revolutionary
war began he volunteered his serv-
ices and all through the war he
worked diligently and with result
for Colonial success. He erected
Qualifications, constructed forts and
hattlements and everywhere wrote
his name large in the history of the
times. At Germantown, and later
at Brandywine, he won spurs, retir-
ing from the field only when dis
abled. After The war he was re
warded with a seat in Congress, and
was a Judge for the New Hampshire
court.
There is a pretty story connected
with Gen. Sullivan and with the
-
too, how Washington paid a pretty
compliment to Gen. Sullivan's race.
Things had been looking up for the
Continental troops for days. Ethan
Allen had sent on guns from Ticon-
deroga, and though they had to be
dragged on sleds over snow and ice
they finally reached their destina-
tion and Washington had them
placed in position on the Heights.
Thus strengthened, he was COM
plete master Of the situation and
could dictate terms as he saw At.
With the British it was simply q
question of how many days they
would delay their surrender. They
knew now that defense was hope
less. So on March 16, when 1t be
gan to look to the watchers on the
heights that the British were ready
to move their jubilation knew no
bounds.
Among the officers at the camp of
the COmmander-in-C Chief the rejoic-
ing was similarly great, and some
Dne proposed that the morrow, be-
ing March II, IL would be eminently
proper to make Gen. Sullivan the
Officer OF the day" The suggestion
At once met with approval, and on
March IL Gen. Sullivan officiated
rs master of ceremonies and gave
word that the password for the day
be st Patrick, SO things were
arranged. by Gen. Washington's own
order. 1t was the spirit of the day
the day that proved to be the
moving day for the hirelings of the
British Kings.

REVELATION
War Brings Out Faith in Rosary
Among Non-Catholics With
Forces.
Would Go Into Rattle on Same
Plane With Their Real
Buddies.
In Hard Days of Fighting Beads
Meant Token of
Safety.
SEEK THE PRIESTS BLESSING.

at has taken a war TO bring out
the faith in the Rosary among non
Catholics" said a knights of Colum.
lbus Secretary in discussing the spir-
itual side of life in the battles on
the French front. 1t has been a
revelation, not only to me, but to
others who HAYES been close to the
men during the trying hours.
zone morning in the Verdun sec
tor, when the troops were prepar-
ing to go over the top six young
men came to me and asked for the
blessed beads. l talked with the
boys-asked them their names and
gave them a cheering message. Two
of the young men had Hebrew
names and | was astonished when
they asked for the Rosary.
"The two young men OF the jew
ish faith stood apart from the others
and reluctantly asked me for the
blessed beads. Our buddies here
have been through many battle
with us, and If you don't mind we'd
like to go into the battle on the
same plane with our Catholic friends
who have been real buddies TO us,
said one of the Hebrew soldiers.
st gave them the beads and
wished them all the best of luck in
the battle to come. Two days later
the Jewish boys returned with the
beads, and ! shall not soon forget
the manner in which they thanked
me. They had carried the Rosary
through two hard days of~-hghting,
and to them it meant a token of
safety.
"On another occasion I was billet
ed with a number of American sol
diers near the lines. The Boche had
shelled a little French church which
was partially destroyed. The troops
were stationed in the church one
evening when a priest passed among
the sleeping boys and gave Catholic
and non-Catholic a blessing. One
young soldier awakened as the priest
made the sign of the Cross on his
forehead. He was not a Catholic.
but he had learned to love the lit
Tie French church which had been
his home.
"A few weeks later the same
troops were occupying one OF the
Rhine towns in Germany. The young
soldier, who had been one of the
men blessed by the priest before
sums thtO bdtIhc, BdiHtIcu some OF
his friends together and planned to
sack one of the German churches
and carry back the beautiful treas
ures to the little French church
which had been sacked by the Ger
mans. Wiser minds prevailed and
the plan failed to go through, but
1t did show the feeling OF non
Catholic who had been thankful for
the blessing, and who had learned
TO love the little French Cathedral
among the ruins of France
"One evening Catholic soldier
walked miles into little French |
village where an American priest |
was stationed. He had said his con- |
fession in French to the cure but
was not satisfied. He again said
his confession ia English and then |
asked the priest IL mass sould be

days later a mass was said in a lit |

Catholic soldier was present at holy |

SCRANTON, Pa, Jan. 25@The cx-
tremely mild weather during the last
few months, together with Fuel Admin
istrator Gartield's action in ordering
the shipment Of bituminous coal into
territory where it never had come into
competition. with anthracite, has great
ly demoralzed the hard coal business
Announcement that the anthracite
operators are to curtai their output
! by running the mines on short time
may be expected any day.
Hundreds of dealers throughout the
country have cancelled orders during
the last few weeks, presumably for
fear that untitled orders would not
reach them until after April l, when
there is usually "a cut in price of so
cents q ton.
All the mining companies are desr-
GUS of working only part time, but no
one wants to take the initiative, fear
full of earning the i'll will of Admin
istrator Garfield. And when the break
comes the excuse probably will be given
that the collieries are much in need
of repair. And there will be more
than modicum of truth in the asser-
ton, for they have been worked at top
speed LOT nearly TWO years.
But the real reason is that there
is dearth of orders and that mining
under present conditions is unproht-
able
Never before have miners earned as
much money as they have during The
last eighteen months. A sudden shut
down of operations might spell trouble
throughout the region. A large per
centage Of the miners. and laborers is
foreign born. With work brisk and
their semi-nionthly' pay envelopes con-
tanning from. SIS to. 500, the entrcat-,
les Of the l. W. W. and other agita-
tors have fallen on deaf ears.
But under present conditions, the
possibility of trouble looms large, par
ticularly with tens of thousands Of
men suddenly thrown into dleness.
But, regardless of the results, the
announcement may be expected soon
that the mines will cease to work six
