of the most neglected class, Slavs and
Syrfans. Shipman, early in life,
evinced an interest in the people of
these races, learned the Czech tongue
from an acquaintance, and, while en-
ployed by the w. P. Rend & Co., in
Hooking Valley, o., the languages of
the Slavs working under him in order
the better to fulfill his duty to his
employers and also to safeguard the
interests Of the men; thus both pur-
poses were served by him by the set
tling of a strike which had arisen
thru a misunderstanding of tongues.
But Shipman evinced live interest
not only in the language of these peo-
pies but also in their history, rites and
customs, and likewise in their reli-
gious belief and practises. His SYM
pathy was wider and deeper than
mere interest in languages" says his
biographer, Conde B. Pallen. HE

to help them and went about his task
in thorough manner. For the last
fifteen years of his life," says Pallen,
'he spent nearly all his vacations
among the Slavic people in Europe.
He studied their languages, their rites
and their history at first hand. He
came into intimate touch with their
clergy in Europe, acquainted them
with the needs of their people in the
United States, urged their interest
and their cooperation and conducted
a voluminous correspondence with
them. He also took up the matter

War Against the
Republic of Ireland

That the onslaught which seeks to
crush out the Irish Republic by use
of the only means in which Great
Britain can hope to show any supe-
riority over the Irish people-that of
brute force-has already reached the
stage where there can be no further
advance except toward actual mass
acre, is indicated in the reports that
reach this country from Ireland.
BY means of wholesale raids, ar
rests, Courts-martial and general dis
order caused, among other things, by
the forcible inhibition of many of the
ordinary activities of life, it is evident
that the British militarists hope to
arouse the people of Ireland to such a
pitch Of rage that the slaughter which
English imperialists hope for may be
precipitated.
On this page we publish news items,
all taken from few issues Of Irish
newspapers, telling of some Of the &C.
tiyities and outrages by which the
British Occupying Forces hope to
bring about the desired result.
The policy of the British is called
Q war against Ireland in the London
Nation of September ~, which says:
1T was recently suggested by an
Orange brave that the Irish police
should be armed with hand grenades,
and that they should not be in two
minds about using them If they heard
a suspicious rustling behind a hedge.
Most civilized people, on coming upon
q suggestion, would conclude that a
criminal lunatic was doing his best
to be funny. But there is nothing
either too criminal or too funny for
Dublin Castle, which, in putting this
promiscuous death-dealer in the hands
of its agents, suggests that it is pre-
pairing for q campaign of atrocities
unknown in these islands since the
time Of Lake and Castlereagh. The
week just past has also seen the sup
preston of all the most representative
Irish papers on account Of an adver-
tisement of the Sinn Fein loan. Fairs
continue to be prohibited over large

and in a hundred ways. in the name of
peace and order is committing acts
against the people that would be ex-
treme and radical If they were done
under martial law, and under cover
Of an invasion.
"The. truth is that the governing
class in England is determined to
stamp out the movement for Irish in
dependence and to break down, II they
can, the spirit of the people. They
are doing everything in their power
to goad the people by policy of saw
age repression into acts that would
justify the government in turning the
soldiers loose upon the country. They
are trying once again, as they have
tried so often in the past, to extermin-
ate and wipe out the Irish people,
Realizing that they can only sue.
ceed, If at all, by the policy of secrecy,
they are doing their best to keep pub
lie opinion throughout the world from
being informed as to their actions.
They know that publicity means defeat
for them. They recognize that the
public opinion of the world which has
just seen the gigantic war fought in
the name of liberty and self-determin.
alton, would not permit any power
no matter how strong-to wipe out a
nation of people struggling to be free
Cali that is asked by the friends OF
Ireland is that the real state of affairs
in that country should be made known
to America. We who won the war in
the name Of liberty will insist that
there must be an end to tyranny in
all lands. We will insist that the
English governing class cannot in Ire
land or in any other country = re-
establish the doctrine that might

of people that are determined to be
free"

Authoritative Statements.

AS this suggestion appeared in some
American Catholic papers, your cor
respondent sought some authoritative
statement from Sir Henry Howard,
and was able to telegraph that the Le-
cation to the Holy See had nothing to
do with Irish politics. Again, when
the Hierarchy in Ireland took a very
decided line at the time of the move
ment against conscription, and an en-
deavor was made to drag Rome into
it, an authoritative statement was OBJ
tanned from the Vatican that the Holy
See did not interfere with Irish Bish-
ops in their views and conduct on
purely political matters.
Reason for Bishops Action.
1t was clearly recognized here at
the time that the action of the Bish-
ops was taken in order that their
authority might prevent any political
action going beyond due bounds, en-
tirely in keeping with the age-long
relations between Bishops, clergy and
people in Ireland.
Only a Couple Of Lines.
The only utterance of the Holy See
on the subject was contained in a
couple of lines in the Holy Fathers
letter to Cardinal Logue and the Irish
Bishops. The letters referred mainly
to the coming Beatification of Ven.
Oliver Plunkett with, in the two lines
mentioned, quiet allusion to the ne
cessity of prudence and moderation.
especially in difficult times. That is not
to say that His Holiness and the Vati-
can generally do not follow with in
terest, and occasionally with anxiety,
Irish political matters; but they have
complete confidence in the Bishops
taking the prudent and moderate at
titude, which need not in the least
clash with the most patriotic senti-
ments.
First Hand information.
Nor does the Holy See go to the
British Legation for its information.
There is no institution in the. world
better informed about the Irish, as
about other affairs, than the Holy
See; and It gets its information from
first hand sources.
There is plenty Of trouble in ire
land a. elsewhere, but there is NO
reason to drag the Holy See into Il.

(Catholic Press Association.)

(CathOlic Press AssOciatiOn.)
Rome, Oct. 1.-THE "Osservatore
Romanio" of yesterday contained the
following:
Under the heading, The Pope
of Dublin, of September 25, published
the following correspondence from
Paris:
Misleading Telegram.
"'A telegram from Rome to the
Echo de Paris says that Vatican cir
cles are particularly interested in the
present situation in Ireland. The
Department of the Secretariate of
State is in frequent contact with the
British Ambassador to the Holy See
and also in continual correspondence
with the Church in Ireland. Rigor-
GUS measures have been taken by the
ecclesiastical authorities, directed
towards the condemnation of acts of
rebellion and crimes, which no son
of the Church could justify or excuse.
The Vatican desires to preserve COM
plete neutrality as regards Irish af-
fairs; but at the same time the Pope
continues to give counsel to the Arch
bishop of Armagh and to the other
Irish Archbishops and Bishops"
1--WE can state" says the 'Osserva-
tore, "in the most absolute manner
that the above notice, in so far as it
regards the Holy See, is destitute of
any foundation whatever"
Inaccuracies.
Even in his nomenclature, the cor.
respondent of the echo de Paris"
might have been more careful. There
is no British Ambassador to the
Holy See"; and His Eminence, Car
dinal Logue, is not usually called just
the Archbishop of Armagh" More
over, If he had made inquiries in prop
er quarters, he would have found that
neither the British Legation to the
Holy See nor the Holy See itself
busted itself with the political affairs
of Ireland.
Long ago, Just after the arrival of
Sir Henry Howard, the first British
Minister, who presented his creden-
tial letters in December, 1914, the sug-
gestion was made that Irish politics
and the relations Of the Holy See
thereto were matters with which the
British Legation would occupy itself.

Where is Armenia and who are th< Armenians and why should Americs give to an Armenian and Syrlan Re lief Fund?
 One of the oldest of all the Chris tian peoples of the earth. That is the Armenians. They live in province that lies to the eastward of Asia Minor, west of Persia and to the sout!l of the Black Sea-
 It is. or would be, a beautiful coun try, ore of earth's oldest regions. 1, has been under the domination of the Turk for very long time and wha, the Turk touches he pollutes and de stroys. Despite the Turkish rule and the constantly recurring massacres and prosecutions Armenia was one oi the fairest parts of the Turkish Elm pire. The Armenians made of it a wonderful agricultural country, gar den of the Near East. The land waa fertile and the sheltered valleys have wonderful climate.
 Armenians have been hated by the Turks from the beginning. The Mos lem hated them because they were industrious and prosperous and he hated with 8 hatred that occasionally famed into murder, loot and rape When the Great War came and Tur- key threw in her lot with the Ger. mans, the Turk saw chance to Tor ever rid his empire of the Armen. fans.
 It was an order that 1.SO0.000 Ar 1nenians be deported. Of these 6O0,- 900 escaped in one way and another. The remaining 1.2c0,000 were driven into the deserts of Mesopotamia and Syria. As they went they were killed by bayonet, rifle, club, knife and dag ger. Some were driven over noun tain preoipices, thousands of others were driven into deep rivers, others were driven into the heart of the des- ert to die. With the Syrians, the Greeks, and the Jews of Western Asia the Turks followed the same plan. Millions of people died.
 The campaign for the relief of these stricken people begins in Ar kansas, February and in week 75 counties in Arkansas will be asked to contribute $150000 as her share of this fund. Pulaski county will be expected to contribute $30,000, or one-fifth of the total for the state. Thirty million dollars is the fund to be raised in America.

 Mr. Wilson warned that labor has reserve of money to resist any at tempt to force down wages unduly He said that eff we have any large period of industrial unrest, there is no telling where the social upheaval will lead us. It would be hard to say whether it would lead to revolution such as that of the French or of the Bolsheviki in Russia.
 Democracy is slow to remedy in- ternal evils," he said, slow to move forward along new lines. Yet, unless the principle of accepting the will of the majority is taken, the same condi- tion that brought about our war with Germany will exist. That condition is autocracy. So my appeal to all peo- pie is get your business going and keep it going

 Referring to the need of tiding over a brief period of readjustment, MT Wilson said:
 We now have to turn our attan- tion to the task of demobolization and establishing ourselves on stable basis.

TONGUES OF CHILDREN
 HANG OUT LIKE DOGS
Letter Received By St. Louisian From a kinsman in Syria Describes the
 Awful Conditions That Exist.

Evidence as to the horrible condi- tions that exist in the Near East is supplied ina letter that has recently been received by Josef R. Slay, 1105 Chouteau avenue, St. Louis, from his orother-in-law, a teacher in the schools at Hadchet, Mt. Lebanon, Syria.
 This letter was moro than two months en route, and was the first that had been received since Turkey entered the World War, and practi- cally closed Syria to intercourse with the outside world.
 We have had no help from the outside" writes the Syrian, "and what little we received from the crops was seized by the Turks. There are no doctors or nurses and if you do not die of starvation you die of dis ease.
 "The tongues of my children and those of my neighbors hang out ike those of dogs. I feed them little bite at time in an effort to sus- tain them.
 'In our little village of GOO, 13D men from 16 to 26 died in one day. There is no one to bury the dead. We lay the bodies on boards and the dogs drag them to graveyards.
 Money is scarce. If you borrow $6 you pay 10 cents per day interest, and for one bushel of wheat you re- turn five bushels. Wheat flour is sell ing at 50 cents per pound, and is scarce at that"
 This letter, written without view to it's publication, in small way shows the conditions in the far-off Holy Land, conditions that the Ar menian and Syrian Relief Campaign is designed to relieve Already much has been done to provide relief. But the work is so large, and the distress so great, that America is called on to contribute $30Oo0,0O0 to save these peoples.
 The campaign to raise this fnhd has been fixed to begin February $ and end February 10. Arkansas has quota of $150.000 to raise and in each county an organization has been effected under the leadership of M. L. Althsimer, merchant and capitalist of Little Rock, and there is no doubt that Arkansas will do It's share in the great work.
