few miles of the desired goal he fell,
exhausted, and Art and he said their
prayers for death.
In the meantime the Chief O'Byrne
had sent party to meet them at
Glenmalure Not finding the princes
at the appointed place, the men
sought them. They found them lying
like dead men under the shelter of
rock, half buried by the Christmas
snow.
Unhappy and miserable was the
condition of the young chiefs. Their
bodies were covered over with white
bordered shrouds of hailstones freez
ing around them, and their light
clothes and fine shirts adhered to
their skin, and their shoes to their
feet, so that, covered as they were
with snow, it did not appear to the
rescuers that they were human beings
at all, for they found no life in their
members, but just as if they were
dead" say the Four Masters.
The grieving friends raised the un-
conscious boys from the ground,
chafed their frozen limbs and poured
wine between their lips. But they
were too far gone to swallow food or
drink Art O'Neill was weakened
hopelessly by the wound in his head;
he opened his great blue eyes, gazed
from one to another in mute gratitude

rescuers. They buried him there I'M

of the great rock which to this day is
called Arts Rock.

house of his friends. But that terri

upon him forever. His feet had been
frozen and had to be partly amputat-
ed. After the five long years of hard
ship and Imprisonment the young
prince at last reached his fathers cas-
tie. And this great enemy, this ter
ror of the English, this priceless cap
tive, was then nineteen years of age.
The following year, when he was
twenty, his father, being old and fee
BILE, resigned the craftsmanship. Hugh
Roe ODonnell was elected Prince of
Tyrconnell, chief of his race and I'm
augurated amid the acclamations of
his people"
A brave boy, a great patriot? Yes,
And surely he must have become a
man to be feared by the usurpers?
Yes, he was terrible avenger of the
wrongs done to his people. His very
name, Red Hugh" was enough to
turn the coat of Sassenach pale with
fear" He made it a crime punishable
by death to speak English, in retalia-
ton for the reverse order by the Eng
lish for the speaking of Irish. The
two Great Hughs" worked together
Hugh O'Neill, Prince Of Tyrone and
Hugh Roe O'Donnell, Prince of Tyr
connell, the two Mighty Champions"
of the Irish race. Against these two
indomitable ones the English sent
their best bravest, only to be routed
again and again. The battle of the
Yellow Ford was one of the most dis
astrous defeats in the history of Eng
lish warfare. The Irish under The
O'Neill and The O'Donnell lost only
200 men. The English, with twice the
number of soldiers and far better
weapons, were sent flying after more
than two thousand of their best fight
ers had been slain.
Again, with handful of Irish
mountaineers The O'Donnell held the
Yellow Pass in the Curlieu hills
against ten times the number of Eng
lish and was not satisfied until he had
scattered far and wide every one of
the invaders whom he could neither
kill nor capture. But for the treason
of lesser Irish lords O'Donnell and
O'Neill would have driven every "Sas-
senach' out of Ireland. But, sad to
relate, two of their own kinsmen jeal-
Gus of their influence and ambitious
to gain their titles, went over to the
English, who promised to make the
traitors princes of Ireland. The plans
of the champions were betrayed and
they met with SO many reverses that,
after a council held between The
cided that the latter should go to
Spain to cement the alliance offered
to the Irish princes by the Spanish
king.
This new move terrified the Eng

fish, for Spain was then at the height
of her power. They determined to get
rid of O'Donnell by means even fouler
than they had used when they alb
Quoted him, a lad of fifteen. They
sent after him a ruffian named Blake,
who followed the prince everywhere,
watching his opportunity to fulfill the
orders received from the English dep
uty... The Prince of Tyrconnell was
treated by the grandees of Spain with
all the honor due to his rank; the
king gladly confirmed the alliance
and plans for Spanish army headed
by The O'Donnell were under way,
when the emissary Of the English
found his chance. He made his way
into the princes house and secretly
poisoned the water in his glass.
Within an hour the young hero was
dead, basely assassinated by those
who could not conquer him in fair
fight. The whole evidence of this
hideous crime is found in the papers
of the English deputy, published dur
ing the past century by an impartial
English historian.
Thus persisted at the age of twenty
nine Hugh Roe O'Donnell, Prince of
Tyrconnell. BY command of the King
of Spain, the Irish prince was buried
with royal honors at Valladolid. To
this day his descendants are grandees
of Spain-the O'Donnells, Dukes of
Tetuan.
1t is just three hundred years since
Hugh Roe was murdered, and this
Christmas is exactly two hundred
and ninety years since that dreadful
Christmas night when the gallant
boys escaped from their English cap
tors. All honor to the memory of
the Princes of Fire!

ITALIAN SCOUTS IGNORED

On the very site where once Chris tians were offered as the prey of wild beasts to amuse the Roman populace, in the Roman coliseum, when Caesar sacrificed the faithful to satisfy a. pagan lust, a Christian service has at last been held. It was celebrated re- gently in memory of the boy scouts of the Italian army who had done mes~ senger service at the front and were killed in action.
 The altar used for the service was one which had been carried by the Italian armies through many cam~ paigns in the Alps and was placed in, the west end of the coliseum. The service was presided over by Monsig- nor Bertolomasi, who held the rank of general in the Italian army, being the chief chaplain to the Italian forces.
 The immense ruin of pagan days was filled with people. Detachments of hoy scouts occupied the central part of the building, place in pagan days used for the arena.
 After the mass Monsignor Bertolo- masi delivered a stirring sermon in which he drew attention to the change in human thought which was able to convert this pagan amphitheater into e Christian temple.

In France and Great Britain on the other hand paper money is still legally at par with gold, although the difficulties of effecttng conversion are serious.

AS soon as this regulation comes into effect-that is as soon as the in voices that are now being certified by our consuls come up for entry-the statistical values reported will be the actual value of foreign moneys as shown by the prevailing exchange rate. But for the past the values re- corded for many foreign countries have been too high by the difference between the current exchange rates and the par value of foreign coins.

38DOY6 SCOUTS (Conducted by National Council of the
 Boy Scouts of America)
LEGION BACKS BOY SCOUTS

The war work of the boy scouts has been commended by President Wilson, General Pershing, MT. McAdoo and a number of others, but the praise they appreciate the most is perhaps the praise of the soldiers and sailors who served in the ranks. and for whose sakes the boys expended their eff forts.
 It was with knowledge of this fact, and with the desire to assist in re- cruiting additional scoutmasters that Post 61, Philadelphia, of the American Legion, went to the Pennsylvania state convention in Harrisburg with the de sire to have the boy scouts work off, cialIy indorsed by the great soldiers and sailors organization.
 The following resolution, introduced by Post 61, was formally adopted by the state cantonment:
 "Whereas, The Boy Scouts of Amer lea have deserved the commendation of the country at large for their activ- ities in the numerous loan drives, War Chest campaigns, and all patriotic ac- tivities, without exception, and have proved themselves to be 100 per cent Americans by every test, be it there fore,
 Resolved, That the first Pennsyl- vania state cantonment of the Amer ican Legion extend the unanimous ap- preciation of its organization of the Boy Scouts of America and pledge to them it's most hearty cooperation In every way whatsoever"

SCOUT SAVES INJURED BOY.

While 55 scouts from Council Bluffs, Ta., were on a hike a boy came run ming into camp crying out that he had shot his companion, Loren Davidson.
 Five scouts were detailed, and left on run for the scene of the accident, mile away. They used first aid, two of them applying a tourniquet and dressing his back, while two others. made a stretcher and the fifth sped away to bring doctor to the camp.
 The trip with the wounded boy or the stretcher was made in 35 minutes, At the camp bed had been made of blankets. Another scout had tele- phoned the hospital to have the oper- ating room ready. When the doctor came he said that if the scouts had been 15 minutes later in finding the injured boy and giving him aid he would have died.
 The scouts sent bouquet of flowers to the patient, and on hearing how very serious the case was, they asked permission to hire a trained nurse for 8 week.

Eight thousand five hundred feet above Puuokeokeo, the scene of the 1916 outbreak, and seven hours ride from Waiohinu, according to the story told by eyewitnesses who discov- cred the sources of the new lava flow and who have been within a mile of the blistering white and red fountain.
 Miss Louis MacMillan of Honolulu, who has just returned from a first hand inspection of the eruption of Mauna Loa, tells the following eye witness story of the spectacle:
 '"The still hot rock under our feet commenced to scorch our shoe soles after five minutes or so of standing on it. A foot back of where l was standing, a red-hot bed of lava with a few cool stones scattered over it, like d bed of cOals with a few small clink- CTS on top, glowed constantly. Six feet away on the other side a gas flame several feet high played con- tinually over a patch of bare red-hOt rock, and anywhere we looked into the cracks, the fiery, uncooled core could be seen evilly gleaming. Every step had to be taken with care not to put the foot down into any of these cracks.
 "As night came on, we expected darkness, but instead a bright, rosy glow suffused the whole country roundabout. It was reflected from the clouds overhead, which were bril- liantly lit up by the glowing lava"

large, although it does exaggerate somewhat the apparent increase in imports and cOrrespOndingly it un- derstates the export trade balance. The big gains in imports for Septem- Der, which have aroused so much pub lie comment, have been in the main from nOn-European countries, and are accordingly not affected by the cur rency situation. The total gain for the month is $128OOO,OOO. One-third of this was reported in the imports from Asia, chiefly Japan and India. There were also large gains from South America, chiefly from Ar gentina and Brazil, and from North America, chiefly Cuba. The reported gain of $23, 3,OOO0OO from Europe played comparatively minor part in the total increase, and even if allowance is made for Overvaluation the figure would be reduced only three or four millions"

PRINCE HEADS ITALY SCOUTS

In the Quirinal at Rome. the official town residence of the Italian royal family, there was family celebration in honor of the fifteenth birthday of the Prince of Piedmont, the only son of King Victor Emmanuel, and the fu- ture king of Italy. Brought up in a tolerant manner by his father, the young prince is said to be all boy, through and through.
 For a youth of his age he has had some remarkable adventures. He is the head of the GiOvani Esploratori, or Young Explorers of Italy, a body that corresponds to the boy scouts in Eng land and America, and he has done a lot that any boy would like to do.
 He has gone up in afrplanes, down in submarines, steere1 ships of war, sailed boats, shot at wild bears and ridden cavalry horses.

GREETS HIS "DEAD" BUDDY
Had Thought Killed on Battlefield.

NOrwalk, O.-Benj jamin Robinson. former lieutenant in old Company H, Cleveland, thought for a time that cOmrade whom he believed dead had come back from the grave.
 While walking on Main street Robin son stared hard at a man in military uniform. Brown, is that you? he gasped. "Why, the last time I saw you, old buddy, I thought you were dead with bullet through your brain," said Robinson.
 Dudley Brown, the man who came back to life, was top sergeant of Rob- inson's company. He was shot through the brain during the Argonne dive on October 31, 1918, and given up as dead.
 Later the surgeons saved his life. Brown was here with the war-trophy train. Robinson also received a severe wound while fighting in the Argonne.
