flesh and blood-to this country. In
revolutionary days they gave their
sons to fight for American freedom
knowing that even if successful they
could never return to Ireland again
In peace time they have given OF the
sturdiest of their children to the up
building of this country. In the last
sixty years 4,399,390 persons of Irish
blood emigrated from that unhappy
land. and the overwhelming proper
ton came to this country; more emf
grated than remain in Ireland today.
Well might Begbie, the English writ
er, declare that something of the very
fiber of the desolate old Irish mothers
he saw in Ireland was inwoven into
the destinies of America"
1t is a debt of honor the women of
America are paying today, and they
who are not reused to the justice and
needs of this work for Irish freedom
fail both in womanly honor, in graft
tude and traditions of American po-
litical life.

Irish National Bureau.

What can American women do to
help Ireland?"
This question. coming from every
section of the United States to me as
secretary of the Irish National Bureau
at Washington. evidences a keener
and wider interest in the Irish cause
than this country experienced even in
the days of Parnell and his gifted
sister, Fanny Parnel1.
1t is apparent that while large
part of Americas womanhood is
moved by personal kinship with the
men and women struggling so vail
antly for Irish freedom. all of
America is conscious now Of the debt
this greatest of republics owes to Ire
land. Americas debt to France has
been paid in blood and treasure; her
debt to Ireland is unpaid. and at the
greatest moment in Ireland's century
long struggle against 4 foreign power
it now seems that America is destined
to play the part of liberator to her
first friend.
Multitude Now at Work.
While many women are still asking
in what way they can help to make
ireland free. hundreds of thousands
of women have already entered upon
the movement for Irish Freedom.
Their action is historic in this-that
while France had her Joan of Arc.
Prussia her Queen Louise and Ireland
in, q
world has ever before shown an array
of women in times of peace directing
their energies toward the freedom of
another country than their own.
Many men have gone to battle for
the freedom OF another country than
their own; La Fayette. Dillon and
Barry came to America; O'Higgins to
Chile: Byron to Greece-but it is
Americas President that this army of
women enlisted for Irish freedom
should be fighting for liberty only
with the weapons of peace.

Rhine. Naturally the men we're dis
satisfied, having been caused much
extra labor and marching.
Small Observation-Disclosures.
The French apparently thought the
Americans should enforce regulations
when the French themselves, put
them into effect. For instance, when
the French regiment marched through
Coblenz, several French officers cir
culated through the crowds knocking
off the hats of German civilians as the
colors passed and when the American
anthem was played. The Americans
had promulgated no regulation re-
garding civilians removing their hats
when the colors passed.
Feeling Soon Subsidies.
Some of the third army officers dis
of the procedure. Then,
humanli<e, American soldiers recalled
some petty personal incident in
France such as overcharging, and
other inevitable small affairs and
other incidents cropped out. Mostly

sided and there is little of it now.

BY FRED FERGUSON

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)
PARIS, Jan. 24.-A warning was is-
sued today by American officials that
Germany is planning big commercial
campaign. particularly in the United
States and France. They point out
that Germany always has been keen
commercially and that for the last
quarter of century she has devoted
half her energy to the commerce in
dustry and the other half to building
her war machine.
All Energy on Trade.
Now the war machine is eliminated
and her industrial organization can
direct vastly more energy to trade.
When Edward Hurley addresses q
meeting of French business men to-
morrow night he is expected to outline
the American attitude toward extend
ing aid to French commerce in an eff
fort to combat the German menace.
Peace Basis Essential.
1t is understood Hurley will urge all
nations to return to the peace basis as
quickly as possible so as TO stabilize
the worlds commerce. He believes
that general rehabilitation of French
and Italian armies, as well as of AM
erican and British is essential to the
revival of international trade
