I cannot beheve that the President

But whether Ireland be heard or

stand forth as the most conspicuous
failures in history or not-tEe duty Of

that oversight cannot be pleaded as
an excuse.
Battling In LIbeFty's Name.
England tries to bind and gag
Ireland, to throw her into obscurity
as of a dungeon. It is our duty 20
support all who would lend a hand
at loosing her. We must strive at
least to let in the purifying light, 10
show Ireland as she is, struggling
ever against the slavery in which
England would confine her, fighting
through centuries, maintaining in
blood and tears communion with al;
who fight for liberty everywhere
battling for it as she ever is with the
foe upon her own hearth at home
Ireland seeks nothing from Eng

is the fundamental right to live ner

the necessity of respecting the equal

Tex, who recently came into the re-

made sergeant of his company and took
the boy along as company mascot. For
three years he served in this capacity.
At fifteen years of age he joined, as
private, a Texas regiment and for the
past three years has been patrolling the
Mexican border In skirmish at Lobo,
Tex, he was shot through the foot by
Mexican.
Young Williams time in Uncle Sans
Army expired February IS, and he en-
listed the other day at Camp Bowie for
three years overseas service, and is now
anxiously awaiting orders to move to-
ward a seaport.
His brother, fourteen years old, has

.tYSO, PRISONER,
TAKES ANOTHER HITCH

John Lyso, nineteen-year-old lad
of Baltimore, enlisted, after being
prisoner in a German prison camp for
twenty-three months.
At the time Lyso was taken pris-
oner he was a third engineer in the
merchant marine. He was one of the
crew on the Norwegian ship Bergen.
The Bergen was torpedoed and sunk
by a German submarine shout $50
miles from Glasgow, OF the coast of
Scotland.
Lyso states that he was one of the
two survivors out of the crew of
sixty-five who were picked up by the
submarine. The other survivor was
later accidentally killed by a falling
timber.
While a prisoner Lyso lived for
seven months on stale bread and raw
vegetables. During the rest of his
stay as a prisoner, he states. the
Red Cross did much to alleviate his
sufferings.
He tried three times to escape.
Each time he was foiled in his at
tempt and received wounds. On one
occasion a bayonet was thrust
through his neck. Lyso now hopes
to set hack to Germany again.

every assistance was given by de-
tails and otherwise in the reorgan-
ization of soldiers entertainment

companies have been organized and
placed on tour, not including a con-
siderable number of additional COM
panies playing locally.
Full advantage has been taken of

ice during hostilities and which now
not only furnishes professional enter
tainments, but Is used as a training
