SHOWN BRITISH POINT.

We have heard little from Irelan1
since the proclamation of independ-
ence by the Sim Fem Parliament.
Apparently there has been NO
Gorcible opposition to the British
Government as yet, but what may
come within the next few weeks
can not be foreseen. Probably much
will depend on the action of the
peace conference in Paris. If Ire
lands claims are ignored-as they
probably will be-then the situation
is one that may become serious at
any time.
Writing of the right of Ireland
to self-determinatlon, the Chicago
Tribune says that the international
rights of the Irish, their rights to
complete independence, their rights
to their land, their lives, habits and
customs, language and legislation
are undeniable in pure equity-but
the Irish republic will not be. The
one reason is the British navy. Our
programme demanded by various
nationalities within the United
States is to save the Aland Islands
for Sweden, the Dalmatian coast
for the Jugo-Slavs, Dantzig for tlE
Poles, the Hedjas for the Arabs,
Palestine for the Jews. Then why
not Ireland for the Irish? Tbsfe
is no reason except that, no matter
what we do or say, there is only
one way of establishing an Iri6h
republic in fact and that is by sink
ing the British navy.
We believe that puts the situation
in nutshell. Every reason that
can be brought forward on behalf
of the independence of Belgium,
Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo.
Slovakia and Finland applies with
equal force to Ireland. There is
one obstacle. however, and that IS
England. We were told that the
war was waged to have small ma
tionalities-but Ireland was to be
an exception. President Wilson de-
clared for elf-determination for all
peoples-but his principle is not to
be applied to Ireland If British
diplomacy can prevent it. And
though we have been told that the
President will bring up Ireland S
case at the conference. we shall be-
lieve it when it has come to pass
not before. We suspect that he
has long ago been shown the British
point of view.

ORIGIN OF FORTY HOURS.

The Alteration of the Quarantore
or Forty Hours Exposition of the
Blessed Sacrament, in commenora.
ton of the forty hours during which
our Lords body lay in the tomb
was first instituted in Milan about
the year 1884.
Somewhat later it happened that
a troupe of actors came to Loretto
at the carnival time, with the pur.
pose of performing a highly OBJ
jectionable play. A pious Jesuit
father who was there did his utmost
to prevent the acting of this play,
but he failed in his object. He then
determined to offer a counter at
traction to the people, to present
them with a spectacle of very fine
character, one calculated to raise
the heart and soul to God. Having
obtained permission from the
Bishop, he caused the church of his
college to be most beautifully dec
GRATED, the high altar lighted up
with countless tapers and the
Blessed Sacrament exposed during
forty hours. Meanwhile at inter-
walls hymns and anthems were sung;
there were spiritual readings and
two or three short sermons each
day. The people were moreover ex-
horted to approach the sacraments.
This plan proved most successful;
the sacred entertainment. If it may
be so called, found more favor with
the inhabitants of Loretto than the
performance of the comedians. AL
most the whole population repaired
to the church and the gain to souls
was immense. From Loretto this
devotion spread to the whole
church; 1t was approved by the
Holy See, and enriched with in
dulgences by several Popes. pre-
eminently by Paul v.

UNwIsE MOVE.

The State Employment Directo:
has placed a working employment
bureau for boys in the Y. M. G. A.,
and Director with Government
salary of $500 a year. The wide
spread criticism against the Y. NJ.
c. A. for its treatment of our sol
der boys and the fact that the
bureau would only serve as an adj
junct to that institution seems bad
policy on the part of a Government
representative at this time.

Mrs. McElliott was a sufferer from
rheumatism and bore her illness
with Christian fortitude and resig-
nation, supported by the sacraments
and ministrations of her holy re-
ligion. She was a devoted member
of the Third Order of st. Dominic.
which paid a marked tribute Mon
day evening when they visited the

Heenan recited the prayers for the
dead. She also took a prominent
part in the social affairs given for
church and charity purposes and
was an untiring worker. Besides
her husband she leaves one brother,
p. c. Nolan, with the Louisville &

of friends extend their sympathy
The funeral was held Tuesday
morning from st. Louis Bertrand's

her soul, with Rev. r. G.. Lyons as
celebrant, Rev. B. A. Ennis as deacon

BRING THEM HOME.

All agree with the sentiments ex-
pressed in Congress and the Senate
that no stone should be left un'
turned in adopting measures that
will bring our soldier and sailor
boys home at once. American boys
should not be used for police duty
in any part of Europe and the idea
is repugnant in every way.

CONVINCING FIGURES.

In the recent elections in ireland
there were twenty-five districts
where Sim Fein candidates were
elected without opposition, while on
the other hand there were no Car
son candidates chosen without a
contest. On the assumption that
contests were held in every district
in Ireland the vote for self-de-
termination would be 1,012,221 and
only 289,025 against; In other
words a majority Of 723.196 for
Sim Fem. Yet the Carsonites and
Tory press in this country want
one-fifth of Ireland to dictate its
policies.
