been maintained at 900 pounds of grain to the acre
as against the French total of $50 pounds.
About one-thrd of the total output of German
potash purchased in the United States prior to
the war, and the American farmers were seriously.
handicapped by its scarcity since 1914. Many new
sources OF supply have been opened up however, in
America to meet the de6ciency-among these being
the manufacture of potash from sea-weed, now be-
ing successfully conducted large and profitable
commodities on which have been dependent on
Germany in the past we have found effective ways
and means to supply the deficiency caused by the
war status, so that in short time we can manage
to get along without German imports of either raw
materials or manufactured articles.
The changed conditions in ce-Lorraine have
now brought to light the interesting and important
fact that Germany has during the, past ten years
kept concealed the existence of rich deposit of
potash in the Wettersheim forest near Muhouse in
Alsace. This discovered in 1904 by an Alsa-
tan named Gogh, who though poor caused AZ shafts
to be SUNK with the view of developing it. But the
Prussan protiteers fearing a breakdown of their
monopoly succeeded in getting control of the Alsa-
tan property, and it has remained undevel-
Ioped. 1t passes into French control and it is
believed, will yield not only an ample supply for
France, but also a considerable surplus for the
American trade; and the quality of the potash is
said to be superior to that of Germany
The liberation of these two provinces will thus
prove contribution not only to the moral but to
the material advancement of mankind. This unfore-
seen resultant may have it's parallel in many other
lands whose development has been choked or re-
tarded under the domination of alien control-as
tor example the spacious and we'll protected natur-
al harbors of Ireland which have been shut off from
the commerce of the world by British greed and
jealousy:

with him is almost closed that line of American

LOYAL ULSTER.

Belfast considered in England the home of all
that is loyal and and peaceable is in the hands
of a mob Imperial and municipal officers have been
superseded by sort of Bolsheviki Soviet which
produces veritable reign of terror.
The situation must be very embarrassing to the
English government. Even before the war the Brit
ish army refused to enforce the laws of parliament
against the loyal subjects of the Crown in Ulster,
and Sir John French now Lieutenant Governor of
Ireland is one of the officers who resigned his COM
mission in the army rather than direct his forces
to compel obedience to law against the ~loyal
Orangemen of Ulster ~
So the English government is perforce obliged to
acquiesce in Socialist in ireland, such as
Berlin experienced after the destruction of the I'm
perial Government-Catholic Messenger.

BOTH MR. HILAIRE BELLOC AND MR.
WATTS OWE AN APOLOGY TO
THE IRISH PEOPLE,

Tn relation to the articles of Hilaire Belloc pub
lished in many Catholic newspapers of America last
fall, Mr. H. c. Watts of the Catholic News Service
offers the following concerning the origin of the
same:
"The Irish article by Mr.. Hilaire Belloc was not
written at the request of the British Foreign Office
nor was it handed by the Foreign Office either
to Messrs. MAR and Benz jamin or to the Catholic
War News Service. 1t obtained by per
sonally from Mr.. Beloc in the Offices of Land and
Water publication to which Mr.. Beoc is con-
tributor. The article represents Mr.. Beoc's own
opinions and nothing more"
The Belloc article was made the subject of a
somewhat extended editorial comment in the Stand
ard as our readers will recall 1t bore all the
marks of a Bristol brief against the whole Irish
race inasmuch as it charged all people of that
with being in sympathy with the Germans and at
least hoping for victory of the Kaiser So far as
the people of Irish birth descent in America is
concerned Mr. Belloc's statement, everyone
knows is grotesque in its untruth; and there is no
substantial ground to warrant the truth of the
charge in relation to the Irish people of other lands
By reason of his high standing military writer
Mr.. Belloc's writing, command universal reading
clientele, and he is himself Catholic. All the
more therefore are his "views" calculated to dam
age the cause of and delay the day of justice for
Ireland. In our comment on the article at the time
of its publication suggested that Mr. Belloc owes
apology to the Irish people for his spuriog and
baseless indictment of them in his art; = We
would now further suggest that Mr.. Wat an in
that apology an accessory before the fact.

"A-E" KNOCKS K1PL1NG'S COPYRIGHTED
SCRIPTURAL POEM INTO SMITH
GREENS

For Prostituting his literary talents in the interest
OF the British propaganda against Ireland Rudyard
klpllng the famous English writer has been the re-
cpent OF sound epistolary thrashing at the hands
OF tine celebrated AZ, the Irish writer and pub
hcist, George w. Russell. Kipling has written a
poem with the British hypocritical and traditional
biblical text at its head in which he rants volubly
about the religious dissensions in Ireland, "of the
faith IN peril and patriotism betrayed" all of which
is commercialized by the author by a copvrght of
the poem.
Now "A-E" is an Ulster Protestant who has lived
in Ireland all his life, and is thoroughly well-in-
formed on every phase of its public life and spirit
lhe klPhng verses, which are of mediocre quail
ty even from purely literary standpoint therefore,
aroused in him sort of soul-nausea which he has
very forcibly expressed in an open letter to the
author of the commercialized effuson He sets I'D
his own knowledge, the knowledge of lifetime
against Kiplings ignorance and accuses him of
using his genius to do Ireland and it's people a
wrong.
After making adequate mention of the copyright
and scriptural features of the screed, which he
characterlzes as lacking in power vision and beau
V a newspaper article made to rhyme "A-E'
makes this convincing aluson to the religious ques-
ton OF Ulster which should be read by all Ameri-
cans and in particular by our American editors, who
perhaps still remain wilfully blind to the truth:
Il have lived all my life i'll Ireland holding differ
ent faith from that held by the majority / know
Ireland as few lrishmen know it, county by county,
ol dill over lIednQ years. and Ulster
man as | am, and proud of the Ulster people, re-
sent the crownng OF Ulster with all the virtues and
the dismissal Of other Irishmen as thieves and
robbers" | resent the cruelty with which you, a
stranger, speak of the most lovable and kindly
people know.

blaze at the thought of oppression of fath and yet

tolerant than those who hold the faith 1 was born
in. am hereto judged by their standards, a
hereto who has written and made public his here
sizes, and l have never suffered in friendship, or
| found my heresies an obstacle in life" ~ g..
In the light Of Mr. Russells testimony as to reli-
fgous conditions how hollow, farcical and hypocri-
teal appear the Carson pretense of the fear of re-
igious oppression at the hands of Catholic major
lity! Of course, it is but the use of the cloak of
religion as mask for political chcanery and cam
outage, and the able letter of "A. E'' should suf-
flee to drive that fact home even to the minds of
some of Our American editors who persistenty keep
up discussing the religious question in Ireland,
thing that does not exist.

naming eight are of mixed blood All have given
the very best evidence of their genuine Americanism
when subjected to the acid test of stalking their
lives in action for the Stars and Stripes From this
record it will be that the Irish race is still run
ming true to form" wherever American interests
are concerned It was the same in the Revolution
ary war, the of 1872, and the Civil War. There
is no more dependable output of the American melt
ing pot than that which is of Irish origin
1t is but fair that this oftproved fact of history
should be kept in mind at this time when Ireland
is urgently appealing that the American weight
shall be thrown into their scale" as BENJAMIN
Franklin promised on the occasion of Americas
appeal to the Irish Parliament in 1775 There have
been convictions of Irshmen men of the Irish
race among the large number of individuals who
have been recently indicted and tried under our
sedton laws, and the very few that were at all in
volved under these statutes were subjected to
charges because of hostility to England rather than
to America.
With clean record of devotion to the American
cause, therefore, the people of the Irish race may
ask that America shall now make good" on the
pledge of the lustrious Franklin.

A POTENTIAL CAUSE OF DISTURBANCE
OF WORLD PEACE.

Amnesty meetings are being held in all parts of
ireland in protest of the continued internment of
the Sim Fein leaders. There are several hundred
OF these men and women who are restrained of their
liberty and denied their fundamental rights guar
anteed under the British laws-that of trial by
Jury; Among them are many of the guiding spirits
OF the Sim Fein party such as De Valera and Ar
thur Griffiths. No charges have been preferred
against these prisoners, who would be glad of an
opportunity to appear in court and of even assun-
ing the burden of proving their innocence of any
crime whatsoever. The myth of supposed Ger
man Conspiracy" having been exploded what pos
slble excuse can be offered for their further deten-
ton?
These prisoners" declares Bishop Fogarty, "are
no criminals. They are refined and enlightened
men and women of stainless honor. Their arrest,
ized government! 1t is not ordained for the con-
servation of public peace, but a callous provoca-
ton to violence 1t must not be possible for brute
force to isolate Just one people in Europe from the
protection of Gods eternal law
The Bishop alludes to President Wilson's dictum
that the moral mind of right justice and goodwill
is passing the world, but says it has not yet
struck Dublin Castle Every day adds to the poten-
tialites of danger in the Irish situation. Only the
admirable discipline and sef-restrant of the people
counseed by the Sim Fein leaders themselves from
their prison cells, has thus far served to check out
bursts of violence and demonstrations from the
forces of labor. British stodity and stupidity in the
premises may supply the spark that will relndle the
flame OF war in the world. There is deep-seated un-
rest and turbulence in all parts of Great Britain as is
evidenced by the serious labor difficulties in the
great industrial centers. Even "loyap Belfast has

WHAT WOULD WASHINGTON DO?

If the ustrous spirit of the Father of His Coun-
try is cognizant of the goings-on' in this mundane
sphere and takes occasion to glimpse the situation
in the land of his parentage he will find many things
transpiring that may disturb his equaninlity and
disappoint his original plans for it's growth and de-
velopment. He will find President Wilson just re-
turning from world conference of nations in Paris,
with full -fedged Constitution for League of Ma
tions in his pocket. A Constitution that bears
striking family resemblance to that great document
formulated at the convention in Philadelphia over
which he himself presided. Little did he and his
noble band of compatriots think that the great
charter of American liberty which they so wisely
framed should be used as the basis of universal
plan for the conduct of the affairs of all mankind
