Channel. This trip was a regular
nightmare. We were packed like
sardines and the only conversation
was yelling such as "get your hoof
out of my face" and many other
expressions along the same line but
we all managed to live through it
and were not much the worse when
we landed in LIE Harve, France, at
about 3 o'clock a. M, April 9th. 1t
was raining quite hard when we
landed and we had to hike about 5
miles to another ..srest camp" We
stayed there just that one night,
which was sure enough. We were
billeted in squad tents" which are
made to accommodate eight men, but
as there was a shortage Of them we
had to double up sixteen to a tent
and to make matters worse it rain
ed all night, half of us were sleep
ing with our feet outside and woke
up soaked to the skin and sore at

place and hiked to a railroad yard.

Of ours with the 9TH Engineers.
We left Camp Merritt March 10th
and boarded the r. M. S. Orduna.
Our trip across the big drink was
happy one, very few Of us were sick
and every day there was something
doing. We had all kinds Of sports
and concerts on board, also a lot Of
life boat drills. Every time that we
moved, even tho it was only a foot
we had to wear our life preservers.
This soon became monotonous, yet
there was no doubt Of the necessity
Of it. Our ships crew were all Eng
lsh and could not understand our
way. They said we acted as though
there was no such a thing as SUBJ
marine. We landed in Liverpool,
England, March 18th and unloaded
in the morning. The same day we
boarded an English train, which is
just about the size Of those we have
in the amusement parks at home
and it took about a mile of cars to
carry our outfit. The speed Of the
trains tho were surprising as we
crossed England in about six hours,
arriving in Winchester early in the
evening. From the station we liked
about six miles all up hill, the packs
we carried weighed about 80 lbs. so
you can imagine how we felt when
we reached camp. This camp was,
known as Wimbledon camp" but
we renamed it starvation Hill"
which was very appropriate and re-
collections of our stay there are
anything but pleasant. We had an
opportunity, however to visit Win
chester Castle and the Cathedral,
both Of which we're really wonder
full and well worth seeing. We left

BISHOP CARROLL ON
The CATHOLIC PRESS
The Home Catholic Paper Should Be
in Every Home In the
Diocese.

Speaking at the late Mass at the
Cathedral in Portland, Ore, last Sun
day, the Right Rev. Bishop Carroll
of Helena devoted his sermon to the
subject of the Catholic press. "The
work of the Catholic press" he de-
clared, must necessarily be both Of
fensive and defensive' 1t was not un-
til the allies took the offensive in the
late war, that they attained victory,
and so it is with our Catholic press. f"
The Bishop quoted the words of
Pope Leo KILL: "A Catholic paper
is a perpetual mission" and those
of Pope Plus x: "In vain will you
build churches, give missions, found
schools-an your work, all your ef-
forts will be destroyed If you are not
able to WELD the defensive and often
sive weapon of a loyal and sincere
Catholic press"
He impressed upon his audience the
advisability of bringing this constant
and certain influence toward spiritual
upliftment and sustenance into their
homes by subscribing to the Catholic
Sentinel.

TO Plead For Erin

or diplomatic etiquette,
The Irish Race convention in Phil.
adelphia, selected the committee which
is to go to Paris next week. This con-
vention was attended by over 5000
delegates representing every state in
the Union, and their names have just
been announced by Judge Daniel Co.
halon, justice of the supreme court of
convention. The convention unani-
mously adopted resolutions presented
by Cardinal Gibbons approving Ire
lands right to self-determination.
Mr.. Walsh and Mr.. Ryan were at
the State department yesterday and
presented written request for pass
ports, stating as their purpose Ito OBJ
tain hearing at the Peace conference,
and to place before the conference, If
not granted hearing, the case of Ire
land, her insistance upon her right to
self-determination, and international
recognition of the republican form of
government established by her people"
Going as Americans.
The State department has informed
the committee that the passports will
be issued not later than next Monday.
"The committee is going to France
as American citizens" said Mr.. Walsh,
holding no allegiance, actual or spir-
itual, to any other nation on earth, but
imbued with the necessity of extend
ing the principles Of free government
to Ireland, which is the typical small
nation of the earth being deprived of
the right to determine for itself the
form or government under which it
shall exist. Naturally men and women
of Irish blood and ancestry everywhere
have deep sentimental attachment to
the land which gave birth to their
race, and at this crucial moment of
new world concepts desire to render
all of the assistance in their power to
the representatives of the people of
Ireland delegated to attend the Peace
conference. The committee expects to
remain in France until 1reland's case
is fully determined by the conference"

The English usurpers have at pres
ent in their jails 600 Irish men and
women whose only crime was their
effort to secure for this, the oldest of
all small nations, self-determinatio
and free institutions. In addition to
this shameless total, proclamations
have been issued in Ireland declaring
as dangerous" the Irish language
movement, the Cumann Bann, or
Woman's League, the Sim Fein
League, Sim Fein clubs and the Irish
Volunteers, organizations embracing
probably a million persons; and ma
tional games have been broken up by
the baton of the police and bayonets
of foreign military.
And, finally, during the past year
of ruthlessness, when something like
one thousand Irishmen have passed
through, or remained in, the prisons
of the English usurpers, when ten
men have been murdered by the Eng
lish military and police, and none of
the murderers have been brought to
Justice; when approximately ten
thousand Irish men and women have
been injured in bayonet and baton
charges, when Ireland has to submit
to the tyranny of 250,OOO troops quar-
tered upon its people-when those in

The Militarists and"Crime'

(Extracts from an article by Editor
Rook of the Pittsburgh Dispatch
after his trip to Ireland as the guest
of the British .Government)
During the last three months there
have been 220-odd arrests, not includ-
ing the 100 deportations. These men
were innocent of any crime. They
were charged before eourts-martial
and English-appointed magistrates,
and were deemed criminals for speak
ing Irish, for singing Irish songs, for
drilling, for being suspected to be
about to drill, for carrying documents
which If published might cause dis
affection, for demanding the right of
free speech, for. publicly stating that
there never was a German plot. For
these and hundreds of similar "offen-
ses," Irishmen have received senten-
ces of weeks, months and years at
hard labor.
A man who was asked by a police
man for his name and gave it in Irish
was given IA days in Jail for endan-
gering the safety of the British en-
pire. A man who sang well-known
song, "The Felons of Our Land"
written seventy years ago, was given
the savage sentence of two years at
hard labor. Men in possession of
shotguns for the preservation of their
crops from the ravages of birds were
tried by courts-martial and got SEN
tences ranging from six months to
two years at hard labor. Men, who
in protest against a proclamation de-
claring public meetings all over Ire
land unlawful, read Sim Fein state
ment declaring the nations right to
free speech, were sent to prison for
two years as criminals.

IRELAND LOSES A
valuable FRIEND

London-The death of Colonel Sir
Mark Sykes, Bart, from pneumonia
following on Influenza, whilst attend
ing the Peace Conference at Paris,
brings to sudden end the brilliant
career of a devout Catholic, an honest
politician and sincere friend of the
Irish people.
Sir Mark Sykes understanding Of
the Irish question was empnatically
clear and sane. He was private Sec
retary to the late Mr.. Wyndham dur
ing his term of Office as Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland, and his sympathies,
both political and religious, were for
the Irish people, Amid the discord-
ant voices that were raised in debate
in the British House of Commons dur
ing the stormy time that followed on
the introduction for the Irish Con.
scription Bill last year, the strong
voice of Sir Mark Sykes rose above
the clamor and demanded that right
and justice should be done to Ireland.
Not even among the merbers of the
Nationalist Party in the House Of
Commons was there to be found a
stauncher friend of Ireland than Sir
Mark Sykes, and had his counsels
prevailed a great wrong would have
been righted.

So Says U. S. Senator-Eleet Walsh Of
Massachusetts,.
Powerful Statement Of Popular States
man From Bay State.

The dominant political question con-
fronting America today concerns the
issue of self-determination for Ireland.
The issue overshadows all others
and will continue to hold first place
until definite steps toward the eman-
cipation of Ireland are taken.
This is the opinion of David 1.
Walsh, Senator-elect of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Walsh addressed big meeting in
the Academy Of Music, Philadelphia,
Tuesday evening, March 1S. 1.-The
Irish Heritage" was his subject and
Wednesday he amplifed Tuesday
nights address,
"Since the elections" said Mr..
Walsh, Il have made addresses in var
ious sections of the country and have
had an excellent opportunity to gauge
public sentiment on the Irish question.
ITO be frank I am astounded to
find such deep-rooted sentiment for
Ireland. Men and women of Irish
blood, regardless of their social and
political affiliations, are simply i'm
bued with the idea that Ireland must
be given its freedom. The idea has
taken such definite form that the issue
actually overshadows our own domes-
tic questions and won't be tempered
until England takes definite steps to
extend justice to Ireland. That coun.
try must be given the rights now en-.
joyed by Canada, Australia and South
Africa. The Irish are determined and
England must face the issue.
When asked what action he consid.
cred should be taken by President
Wilson the Senatorelect said:
"The American representatives
should present at the Peace Confer
ence the overwhelming sentiment OF
the United States in favor of self
determination for Ireland. They
