The following account Of the hiring
of the first shot is taken from the

forces:
The first American artillery shot
OF the war was fired at five minutes
after 8 o'clock the morning OF oct
%, 1917. from a position about 400
meters east of Bathlemont, in the
Luneville sector.

Says the distinguished English writer w. S. Lilly

Property is but liberty realized; property lib

place all the of producing property in collec-
tive ownership is to make man the slave of the
collective owner and so to rob- him of essential
attribute of his manhood. 4. 49, Will not the

SAN FRANCISCO SETS THE PACE IN THE
IRISH CAMPAIGN

n With hourly increasing momentum the cause of
Irish freedom is steadily marching Erin is soon
to face her day of destiny, and that day ap
proaches she is continually gaining the sympathy
and goodwill of the people of the world in her
struggle for recognition distinct and indepen-
dent nation. Fair-minded men and women in every
land and cline acknowledge the justice and fairness
of her claim to the right of sef-determlnatlon OF
her sovereignty set forth under the numerous
announcements of President Wilson and as &C
cepted and Endorsed by the several allied govern
ernments during the war.
Messages of good cheer and confidence in the
success of the movement are constantly coming
from all parts of the civilized world-from Aus
tralia and New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and
the more remote corners of the globe-encircing
British Empire. In America the campaign for Irish
emancipation is going forward under full steam;
Y and the indications are that within a few weeks
millions of American citizens in addition to those
\ of Irish ancestry, will join in giving their moral
and material support to the movement

A FUTILE MISSION.

u #Creedless churches seem to be the demand Of
the day in certain circles of spiritual unrest De-
mocracy in religion is the slogan borrowed by these
rainbow chasers to popularize their efforts to start
something revolutionary in the spiritual realm
If democracy is an excellent thing in the political
world, why not also introduce it into spiritual
matters? The creeds then can be formulated to
suit the desires Of the masses Of the people regard
less of the commissions given in the Scriptures or
the creeds formulated upon the authority of the
gospels, Or Of the inhibitions Of the ailments
ButsSt Paul says, ifhe IS not repndiated ASIAN au-

THE DAY" OF THE NEW D1spENsAr1oN

In our opinion it is the rising surge of democracy
among the English masses which will accomplish
the freedom of Ireland. The common spirit and
ideals and aims of the workingmen of England and
Ireland will make Ireland free. The Justice of the
masses will extinguish the injustice of the classes
But if not, then the cateclysm will come when the
world will turn on the dominant imperialism Of
England even as the world flung itself against the
rising imperialism of Germany. Hypocrisy cannot
forever cloak greed and the lust of empire.

WILSON'S GRANDFATHER AN IRISH
~ 1872 PATRIOT.S

A speaker at amnesty meeting fn the town OF
Roscommon, Ireland suggested that President Viii
som should be elected for of THE two seats
Thy DeValera at the general election. He said he
was present in New York when President Wilson
was canvassing the votes of the Irishmen there.
The president told them that his grandfather had
fought with Wolfe Tone in the Rebellion of Ninety
eight: President Wilson'S grandfather was jour-
neyman printer at Strabane in the county of Tyrone
before he emigrated to. the United States. His,
mother was native of Carlisle, England.
To render America immune from the possibility
of British subsection, Justice Howard therefore adj
vises that 1--WE should start today to build navy
las vast and swift and strong all the ships COM
rnanded by the Masters; of the Seven Seas"
l. 1t cannot be denied that these facts we'll cal
culated to give pause before accepting the con-
stitution of the proposed league. It must always
be borne in mind that that instrument was framed
by English statesmen and it's several articles were
Eshaped primarily in the interests of Britain It is
pertinent to ask of those who sought to have
America sacrifice the Monroe doctrine in the inter
ests of the general welfare Of mankind and uni
versal peace "What sacrifice are yott making on
that same altar? Will you yield up ever sozsmafl

NO RELIGIOUS ISSUE INVOLVED IN THE
IRISH QUESTION.

No far-minded and intelligent person can hon
estly maintain that the line Of cleavage in the Irish
political situation is based upon religion. Such is
not the fact today, nor has it been so in the
history of lrelands struggle for her independence
Wherever and whenever the attempt has been made
to give color to this statement it will be found to
have originated in England or among the trans
planted colonies of settlers among whom were di-
vided the con6scated lands of the Irish owners, in
Ulster and some other sections of Ireland. Some
of these grated residents have in the past and
now setting up religious howl, because they know
that this is the easiest and way to the
sympathy and stir the passions of the outside world
in their behalf But taken by and large the politi
cal movements and agitations that have assumed
national proportions were never and are not now
predcated upon religious differences as the claimant
Orange factionists and their sympathizers would
have the world believe.
The veriest tyro in Irish history knows this to be
true, yet find pretentious journals and magazines
doubtless wilfully and malicously) seeking to
create such an impression among the public, despite
the plain and papable facts Catholics and non
Catholics have always stood shoulder to shoulder
in lrelands and desperate battles for lib
erty, from the days of Robert Emmett in 1903 to
Patrick Pearce in 1916. And they stood so long
before the martyrdOm OF Emmett VINO was a
Protestant and are now in line with Arthur Griffith,
the founder of Sim Fem, who is also Protestant.
Darrell Figgis the secretary of the Sim Fem execu
tive is also Protestant and so is Thomas Hunter,
M. P. al three of these have, been in British ails
during the past year because of their patriotic activ
ties for their native land.
The United Irishmen Society of 1898, which con-
Quoted hard fight for Erin's freedom originated in
Po1f, md of Ire PrOte slant
and Presbyterians and twothirds of its supporters
were Of the same religious persuasion, though no
thought of religious distinction in their minds in
the movement-only the ever-bazing flame OF. pa
triotism Thirty three of its directory were Pres
byterians thirty-hve were Episcopalians, and
twenty-nine were Catholics Conspicuous among
the Episcopalians are Thomas Adds Emmett Lord
Edward Fitzgerald, James Napier Tandy, and
| Theobald Wolf Tone. And can it be said that the
Catholics Of Ireland at any time in the history OF
the campaigns wherein they have marched behind
their non Catholic leaders have been dsloyal to
them or to the common cause? Did they not rally
in the same force and with the same zeal undel
Catholic O'Connell as they fell in line under Par
nell nome Catholic? Do they not pay the same
tributes of affection and veneraon for the heroic
martyrs in the cause of their country, regardless
church or creed affiliations?

BRITAIN BEsrR1DEs THE WORLD.

Before committing America to certain features of
the proposed League of Nations it is we'll for all to
apprehend the colossal proportions of the British
Empire as it would be constituted under the provi-
sons of the world charter Before the war
its total population estimated at 45OOOOOO0
and with the inclusion of the population of the
several territories occupied as result of the war
upheaval that total will approximate 5OOOOOOOO or
about one-third of the entire population of the
world (Which is l,5O00OOO0O), or about five times
the population of the United States The land
areas that, in one way another will be added to
the British dominions comprise 100000 square
miles, making the total of British control 49,
100000 square miles Of the 52sW,OW square miles
of the whole land surface of the earth -
In addition to this overwhelming preponderance
of population and land possessions as compared
with any OF the other great powers, Britain also is
supreme on the sea and in the air. Her tremendous
naval power is such that it capable of cutting off
the food supply Of any of the other European ma
tions, big or little, and might possibly be used to
bring the United States into subsection
through system of blockades.
These facts are brought out in an article by
Justice W. o. Howard published in the New York
Herald, entitled "The Overshadowing Empire. :"
Justice Howard says:
Colonel Churchill exclaims: Naval supremacy
is vital to England So military supremacy
vital to Germany. But if there is to be disarn1a-
ment provided by Article VIII of the League of
Nations, and freedom of the seas there must be no
armed supremacy anywhere.
"How are vast naval ornaments less threatening
to the independence of small nations than huge
military establishments? Far less menacing to
American liberty is military supremacy than naval
supremacy. In addition to the commodioMs Ca
