PoNTlFF ESCAPES ILLNESS.
BY Brisk Daily Walks in the Sunshine.

Brisk daily walks in the sunshine in
the beautiful Vatican gardens proved
a successful influenza preventive for
Pope Benedict XV, although the Papal
physician had advised medical meas
ures, says Rome dispatch of
March IA.
During the influenza epidemic, which
is virtually at an end, the disease
spread to the Vatican and several
prelates of the Papal court had to take
to their beds. Members of the famous
Swiss guards and the gendarmie were
also stricken. After the death of
Cardinal Rinaldini, the Papal physi-
clan strongly advised Pope Benedict
XIV to take a complete rest and sus-
pend all audiences as the Pontiff be-
gan to suffer from slight chills and it
was feared that the chills would lead
to influenza. But the Pontiff refused,
saying that he was too busy to alter
his program. However. he agreed to
lengthen his daily sunshine walks in
the Vatican gardens, which he con.
siders the best means of warding off
sickness.

ting upon the British empire. With.
out principles, without conscience,
without pride, bereft of everything
which makes government respected,
English statesmen are today playing
the game of opportunism to meet the
various crises, internal and external,
which threaten their country's IN
tegrity. Today they tell Soviet Russia
that they will encircle her with wall
of steel, and tomorrow they open ne
gotiations with her for a treaty of
commerce. They offer Ireland a mon.
grel measure of so-called self-govern-
ment, on the point OF a sword, and at
the same time act the part of toad
eaters to Uncle Sam; they massacre
the effeminate Hindus, and cajole the
virile South Africans, using in turn
all the tactics of a rutfianly and con-
scienceless desperado, as occasion re-
quires.
The kings writ no longer runs in
Ireland. 1t is in open, if unarmed,
rebellion. The Sim Fein republic can
accomplish with a wave of it's hand
what England cannot do with its army
of 100000 men. Egypt has declared
it's independence. The South African
Union is dissolving, and a republican
movement backed by the Beers and
the Labor party, is openly under way.
India is in revolt, and like Ireland,
is only kept in subsection by force of
arms. Australia and New Zealand
are defiant; and the rumblings of
republic are heard in Canada. 1t
looks as if the heterogeneous and dis
jointed thing known as the British
empire could not long hold together
under the new spirit of democracy
which clamors for liberty and self-ex-
preston. All this bodies we'll for Ire
land for England's difficulty is always
lreland's opportunity. In the words of
one of her most patriotic sons:
The night of her grief is closing, and
the Sky in the East is red,
Her children watch from the mountain
tops for the sun to kiss thy head;
free for their test for freedom
born;
Thy vacant place in the nations race
awaits but the coming MORN"

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

The management of the Irish Stand
ard has undergone a change during
the past week. Robert M. Reichel,
former general manager, has turned
over his interests in the Irish Stand
ard to John F. Ryan of 3146 Fourth
Street S. f., and Francis j. Kelly, 1881
Third Avenue S. Messrs. Ryan and
Kelly are well-known young men in
Minneapolis, having been associated
with advertising work in the Twin
Cities for number of years. Both
are ex-service men in the recent world
war.
The new managers of the Irish
Standard will devote all of their time
and energy to the work of building
up the Irish Standard to make it a
a far wider field from an editorial
news and advertising standpoint. J.
Thirty-fve years ago the Irish
Standard was founded by Edward and
John O'Brien and was successfully
conducted by them over 27 years, or
from November, 1885, to March, 1918,
when they disposed of the property
into other hands. The paper has been
a continual. influence of good during
all these years, notwithstanding the
number of obstacles and difficulties
that ofttimes beset its path. The fu-
ture of the Irish Standard is bright
indeed for there never was a time in
its history when the weekly visit of
The Irish Standard was more welconl-
ed than at the present. Thousands
and thousands of young Irishmen have
immigrated to the Northwest during
recent years and sons of the Irish
Pioneer Emigrant are taking an ac-
tive interest in the social and civic
welfare of their state and union.
The policy of the Irish Standard in
the future will be one of service to its
readers. It's news-gathering facilities
will endeavor to get all the news of
this country, in Ireland, and in fact,
all over the world. It's purpose is TO
strengthen and enlighten it's readers,
combining them into more perfect
unison Of strength.
The cooperation of friends and
readers of the Irish Standard is solicit
ed by the new management. Sugges-
tions and criticisms are also welcome
1t is the desire of the new manage
ment to keep in close communication
with one and all of its many friends.
The new Irish Republic that is now
watched by every lover of freedom
throughout the civilized world will be
dealt with to great extent through
the columns of the Irish Standard in
the future

A PLEA FOR IRISH BONDS.

BY John J. Mcintyre.
Do something for the Irish now,
They've done lot for you.
The battles brunt found them in front
For our Red, White and Blue.
About the way they fought our wars
We often like to brag-
They never disobeyed commands;
They never lost flag.
Do something for the Irishmen
Who helped to keep you free;
They're asking now that you buy bonds
To bring them liberty.
No large donation do they ask
A crisp ten dollar bill
Will be a welcome mite of it
But carries your good will.
Do something for your Irish friends
Who always did for you;
They got behind your ev'ry drive
And helped to put it through.
And now they have little drive
The invaders power to stem,
And they ask you to do your bit
To put it through for them.
Oh, help to spread sweet liberty!
To Ireland give start.
Great Britain holds her body
But Columbia holds her heart.
And when shall dawn that cloudless
sky
OF Erin's liberty
H,,w fortunate, if you can say

A WORLD WITHOUT

~ WO0eO W.T. t1OOI
THE IRISH RACE
Conceive, If you can, of world in
which there should be no Irish.
Its like banishing the sunshine and
the laughter with the sunshine.
"It's like censoring the smile of
pretty, rosy-cheeked young girl, bub.
bling over with health and life and
merriment. It's like deleting the ba-
bies from world too gray by half, or
making of the calendar an unbroken
series of penitential days, or taking
the color and the scent from flowers,
or the song from the birds, or the
poet&y from lovers.
We do not propose to enter into
the controversial questions that bristle
arou3 3d the. name and fame of St.
Patrick We: have met people who
denil ID that he was an Irishman, and
proved it to their own satisfaction.
But we have also met people who
were skeptical as to every 1rishman
being descended from race of kings,
and from them we knew there was no
hope at ALL. What can you do with
those who have so much Ego in their
Kosmos that there is no room in it
for an idea? What are you to do with
such as think that human life means
as much in New York or Chicago as
it does in Ballyshannon?
1T has been the way of the Irish
man the world over to dream, but
never to doubt, or to despair. He has
always thought nobly of the soul. He
has never been brutal cynic. He has
never preached the gospel of animal
ism. He has, on the other hand, held
steady to the tenet that the individual
is everything the race nothing.
And so he is never tired of life. He
has loved beauty because it is beauti-
full and delighted in delight for it's
own sake. He has never minimized
the sublime idea that life endures for.

There are, we have heard, very
few millionaires in Ireland, but we
have never heard an Irishman regret
it. There are, on the other hand,
plenty Of poets, definitely emotional
and infinitely spiritual; men, and
women, too, who know the Importance

strangeness Of living, the mystic beau

THE MORlBUND EMPIRE

All the great empires of antiquity
have passed away. The Roman EN-
pire, which owned England for over
four hundred years, has disappeared,
and the British empire risen on it's
ashes is in it's turn about to vanish.
All signs now point to the fact that
the processes of decay and dissolution
have already made much progress.
Once upon time John Bulls island
was known as Merry England" 1t
is no longer Merry England; it is
dismal England today. While John
Bull, with his ripened capacity for
diplomatic chicanery, and political
over-reaching, pulled the wool over
the eyes of our once redoubted presi-
dent, and got away with the swag, at
the Peace Conference, neither the po-
litical advantages nor territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT thus acquired brought
with them internal peace or external
security. Today John Bulls condition
is by no means an enviable one. True
it is, that he still makes specious
showing of power and stability, but,
as the "bankrupt's profusion his ruin
would hide" so John Bull makes those
outward pretenses Of strength to hide
the decrepitude and disintegration
which are fast dissolving him and his
empire into the elemental dust of all
things earthly.
Torn by internal dissensions, bur-
dened by a public debt that taxes its
almost resources, and consigns it's
people to perpetual penury, trying to
. placate an angry democracy at home,
which, in it's innermost heart, it fears,
and bullying subject nations abroad
of whom it is equally afraid, England
presents to the observer who looks
. below the surface, condition of ir-
remediable impotency and vulner-
/ ability, which are the unmistakable
signs of impending doom.
@ It is the proud boast of England
that the sun never sets upon the Brit
ish dominions. To the Englishman
I who thinks today there must come the
sad reflection that the sun is fast set
