THROW OFF THE MASK.


The proclamation for the suppress
sion of the Irish Parliament and
raids on Sim Fem societies in Ire
land indicate clearly enough that the
British Government means to goad
the Irish people into armed resist
ance if that is possible. We do not
believe that the plan will succeed.
In spite of provocation, we believe,
the Irish people will persist in their
policy of passive resistance to mill
tary tyranny. 1t is what their lead
ers advise. and we believe that the
lessons of the past have not been
forgotten. Cardinal Logue, the other
day. declared that the Irishman who
broke the peace at this time is a
worse enemy OF Ireland than even
Sir Edward Carson or Lloyd George.
That epitomizes the situation in Ire
land.
II is unlikely that the proclaimed
suppression of Sim Fein will have
any real effect on the movement for
irish independence. The Irish Par
lament was illegal from the first
day OF its existence. in the opinion
of the True Voice, but the proclama-
ton does not make IL any more so.
The Sim Fein organizations
throughout ireland are not revolu-
tionary in the sense that they are
for the purpose of creating an
armed rebellion against the British
military rule under which Ireland
has lived for the past three years.
Irishmen know well enough how
futile that would be. The only
difference in the situation now and
month ago is that Sim Fem meet
ings will now be held in out of the
way places and at times when the
military Officials are least expecting
them. The work will be done just
the same. But the proclamation OF
suppression does inform the world
that the methods used in Belgium
for four years are now to be en-
ployed in ireland. There is a differ
ence of masters, that is all. The
situation otherwise is parallel. We
know what the world and Americans
in particular thought of the martyr
dom of Belgium. What can it think
Of the attempt to suppress by force
all aspirations to liberty in Ireland /?
The proclamation puts the situation
in Ireland before the world in its
true light. There Is a people held
| IN subsection by military autocracy
and by force alone. 1t is well for
the world to understand this. Eng
| land has at last thrown off the
mask. Nv. III i

Praise From Commanding
Officer.
or GREAT VALUE TO soLDrERs.


Daniel J. Callahan, of Washing
ton, D. c., General Manager of the
Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company and Supreme Treasurer of
the knights of Columbus, has
handled more real war cash perhaps
than any other man in the country
outside of the mint men and the
gentlemen who print and count the
greenbacks. AS Supreme Treasurer
of the X. of c. 1T has been Mr..
Callahan's task to hold stewardship
OF the many millions which knights
have received from the American
public. He has held the purse
strings of the original X. of G. war
fund, amounting to over a million
dollars collected from the members
of the organization. of the X. of G.
independent drive fund, amounting
to over $14,000,000, and finally of
the X of G. portion of the United
War Fund drive amounting to over
$40, 00O, 000-$25,0 100000 when il
is all collected.
Dan Galatians efficiency becomes
self-evident when it is known that
he has given executive attention to
the greatest purely fraternal bust
ness which the X of c. have had
during their existence and main
tanned his large private business
throughout his intensive work as a

appreciation of the vocational work
which is being carried on in the
army by the Knights of Columbus
To Major James f. Houlihan, army
chaplain, Gen. Bailey wrote:
