would have kept all true Americans l from such utterances against the ! Mother Country. Iloyd-George, and Clemenceau as have disgraccd the meetings of the Irish propasandists.
 We cannot forget that the chief leaders in this movement belong to the group of Irishnen who, while their own countrymen were fighting loyalty with England against Ger many, sought German victory, con- nived with German Imperialists. used German submarines. and. at a critical time in the war, were willing to en- danger the success of the great world cause for their own selfish purposes. Whether this particular Irish campaign is fathered by Ger many or not, it is certain that nOth- ing would please Germany better to- day than to put the United States and England at swords points by means of an agitation of the Irish question in this country. Yet only yesterday General Pershing said, All discussion of ways and means to pre- vent war and of plans for combined nations must be based on a union in thought and heart of the Anglo Saxon peoples"
 "NarroN and DisloyaI'
 III b4iC, DdTTO" ana UiSiOy3l spirit the Irish campaign meetings lately held in New York, Chicago and other cities, have missed and jeered at the President of the United States This they did for the sole reason that he could not and would not secure a seat at the Peace Conference for a group of people that had no existence as a separate nation except on paper, but was and for over a hundred years had been an integral part of the ter ritory of one of our Allies. Such men, who are evidently more Irish than American, are today denounctng the Peace Treaty with the League of Ma tions covenant, which, however il , may need amendment, is yet the hope of the worlds peace and progress. Such denunciation is purely for the sake of their own smaller and so self ish purposes, just exactly the ma jority of their colleagues in Ireland l stayed at home and refused to fight | for the sake of world righteousness and world liberty when the men from all other parts of the Empire were | offering their lives by the hundreds of thousands. What own sons and brothers b1ed and died for, they | refused to help and still antagonize.
 American citizens will subscribe to the proposed Irish fund or not as they 1 personally see fit. We have no wish | to advise them in that matter. But no one should be deceived by the | pu bHshed statement that this fund Is for the purposes of educating the | people in an unbiased way.
 If the report Is correct that 1t Is proposed to fly the flag of the so- called Irish Republic beside the Stars and Stripes from the City Hall. we most earnestly protest Agais,st that !

 According to the reports issued by ago. wholesale prices on potatoes. onions, and cabbage were lower than at present Potatoes sold about a dollar barrel under present prices, local onions showed a difference of about a dollar a bushel, or 2c d pound, and cabbage was quoted at 50 to 75c a barrel below today's quota tions.
 The season was evidently more ad- vanced. however, as many products such as sweet corn, tomatoes. cucum- bers and peppers, which are as yet only beginning to arrive on the mar ket in quantities, were fairly plenti- full by July 20th last year. This may account for the fact that these pro- ducts were somewhat lower than now, although beets, lettuce, car rots and summer squash were also a bit cheaper. Raspberries and black berries sold at about the same prices, but a comparison of blueber-J prices show a difference of to Sc a at. In the consumers favor a year ago.

SUFFRAGE CAMPAIGN ID
 PREPARE WOMEN FOR VOTE
Drive Started This Morning and Will Until 16- To Raise S100,000 for Education of Women ThrouqhOut State In Preparation for Enfranchisemen-Mrs Samuel Russell, MiddletOWn, Chairman of Fund Committee.

Mrs. Russell announced that mes- sages of encoura cement and support of the campaign are still pouring into state headquarters, at 55 Pratt street, Hartford, and that even many men who have. never been known as suf- frage advocates have, sInce the pas sage of the Federal Suffrage amend- ment, come out in favor of the Citi- zenship program of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage association.
 These men," Mrs. Russell said, are too practical not to see and ad- init the need for a program of edu- cation among our women. It looks now as if the ratification of the amendment will be effected at a com
 paratively early date, and we feel that this campaign is starting none too soon. When our 35O,o00 women go to the polls, we want them to be
 thinking citizens. cons cious of the duty and responsibility to the state.
 The association is partisan just as-i it is nonsect1-12a. Its mem bers may belong to any political party, just as they may belong to any denomination. Also it's methods have always been constructive and or derly."
 The fund campaign should receive the hearty support of every person in the state, according to Harrison B. Freeman, a lawyer, of 5o State street, Hartford, Conn. NTr. Freeman said: The campaign Of the Connecticut oWman Suffrage Asso ociatio1 to raise S100.0nO for educational work in pre- Iparing women for the ballot and in convincing the men of this state. of the necessity for woman suffra ge should receive the hearty encoura ge- ment of every man and woman in the state.
 'tWoman's suffrage is assured. In all probability it will come before the next Presidential election. Many wo- men, through their failure to receive the ballot, have hitherto taken little interest in politics or in government Iether municipal, state, or national. Women must therefore he prepared for the ballot through an educational campaign on political problems and questions. This campaign must be in- tensive ,as the time Is short and the necessity great.
 'To a5d hundreds of thousands of voters to- the electorate without pre- pairing them in any way for the ballot would be a serious mistake It takes money and plenty of it to do this work. It will be money well spent for the object is righteous and the cause la. great one"

Much attention has been attracted by the opening of the exhibition of Connecticut church silver held at the Morgan Memorial, Hartford. Visit ors from nearby towns from whose churches silver has been lent come to the exhibition every day to view the old historical objects and aDpre- clate their value. The articles col lected there represent the work of some of the earliest American crafts men. and it Is the purpose of the Connecticut Society of Colonial Dam es of America and the Wadsworth Athe- neum to arouse a greater interest in the public for the preservation of these interesting historical souvenirs.
 The exhibition Is open to the pub lie week days from 10 in the morn ing until in the afternoon, and on Sunday from until in the after noon, throughout the month of June.

 "Of course everyone knows that sil- yer Is manufactured in our nearby neighbor Merideu: and wares bear ing the name of Gorham and Tiffany are found in nearly every home. But how many. I wonder. own n spoon or tankard made by Paul Revere; or a caudle cup by John Dixwell son of Colonel John Dixwell the regicide. who lived in New Haven! Who knows that Thomas Howard of Nir ginia was the first silversrnith to be registered In the colonies in 1920, that Job Prince came to Connecticut from Massachusetts before 17OO; and that John Hull, the cotneT of the pine tree shilling in 1852. and his partner, Robert Sanderson, in Massa chusetts, made tho earliest Arperican silver so far Identified!
 "Ali those interested in colonial arts and crafts should not fail to visit the exhibition of church silver now being held at the Morgan Memorial, 624 Main street. For 1t iVciudes the work of many of the most famous makers of the late 17th ard early 18th centuries. such as Hull. Dunn mer. Winslow, Tyler. D!xwell. Ed wards, Hurd and Rouse of Boston; Vernon of Newport; and Kierstead cf New York. who came to New Haven in 1722. and was one of the earliest workers in Connecticut, where the craft was later in starting than in Massa chusetts. This accounts for the face that the first churches 10 be found in the state were obliged to send outside for their communion silver. as did also those of the carly settlers who could afford a silver tankard from which to drink their h home-brewed ale and cider; or caudle cup for the spiced wine which was taken before retiring.

could never be replaced at any price. In the same way the churches had their old fashioned chaHces, cups, and especially, tankards made over into newer and more convenient shapes; or later gifts were used in preference to the fine old pewter and silver services which sometimes lay hidden away in attics for years and, having become discolored and cor roded, were sold for junk. It is to guard against such happenings in the future, that museums are endeavoring to get the churches to consent to the deposit of their unused silver where it will also be always accessible to stu dents and lovers of all that is beau tiful and historic.
 Tn Massachusetts many services have been given outright or deposited indefinitely in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston: and a. beginning has been made in Connecticut by the First Church of Christ, Windharn, which placed its two fiagons and eight beakers dn the Morgan Memor- ial over a year ago. It. is confi- dently hoped that before the present exhibition closes, other churches will signify their willingness to do like wise, and thus permanently safeguard some of the. most Interesting relics that our colonial ancestors have left tD uG
