ireland has done England no
wrong, and surely America, claiming
so long and for so many reasons to
be her friend, will not now by am
alliance with her enemy, betray her.
1t is not so difficult for US Ameri-
cans to bark back to the war days
Ito the years 1915 and 1915, when
the appeal came to us as haters of
oppression and lovers of justice and
right, to come to the rescue of OPP
pressed Belgium. We were told then
that the German army of invasion
had set itself upon Belgium's sacred
Soil-had added brutality to oppres-
sion-held the people in bondage
and under martial law, and shot or
deported those who failed to obey 1T.
We answered with the mastering of
all the forces of our nation, and
sent our men to die that Belgium
might be free. We fought side by
side with the English and the
French. We struggled ON until the
goal was reached-until Belgium at
last was freed from her oppressors.
In 1918 we fought with England to
free Belgium. In 1920 we are in
yited to fight with England to
crush Ireland.
There can be, l think. but one
answer to this appeal, and that an
swer should be that not for finan-
cial gain, nor for the wealth and
commerce of all the world, will
America, the friend of humanity,
voluntarily share in a nations de-
struction. But if the promoters
would say that an alliance does not
include cooperation or approval of
this act of oppression, 1t will be so
interpreted by the world, and right
ly, too. We approve of those we
ally ourselves with, and in this par
ticular instance we are responding
to an invitation to join the bias
phemous chorus that today stands
applauding a nations crucifixion.
Had England acted wisely how diff
ferent things might be today! When
Irish-American Representatives went
to the Peace Conference at Yer
sailles a year ago / sent them greet
ing to this effect: "A noble mission
is yours, for when you ask for Ire
lands freedom you have the oppor-
tunity to offer to those assembled
at Versailles the support of Ireland.
Christian and free-the best sup
port to tottering civilization But
the conference ignored the delegates
and refused even to listen to their
claim. Before such an august body
the fate of a civilized nation like
Ireland was negligible. 1t might
hurt the feelings of some of the del
egates to even grant them a hearing
before a subcommittee. The thou
sand years that Ireland has fought
FOR ciyilization,- lwere-s then. Ignored;
Now the conference is over, and
they who rejected the claims OF Ire
land and the help of Ireland, while
their spiked heel is driven through
her heart, stand amidst the ruins or
their own creation, appealing to the
Almighty to save their civilization
from the terrors of Bolshevism."

two persons anxious to feel aerial
thrills. The most avid for said thrills
was L. NJ. Redding Mr.. Redding
having gone up and found himself on
earth again after a much easier jour-
ney than in an auto, asked why he
hadn't been shown any stunts. Mr..
Keightley said, 81 didn't know you
wanted any,"
"Take me up again and hand me a
few stunts" said Mr.. Redding, hand
ing over another ten-spot; whereupon
the aviator spun him aloft and caused
the plane to give a correct imitation
of bucking broncho, with a few
side-shys and rearups and fallovers to
loot. Mr.. Redding came near drop
ping his lungs out of his mouth a
time or two. but came to earth safe
and happy.

Masks Worn to Represent
Supposed Faces OF Gods

Masks have religious origin. Away
back in prehistoric times they were
doubtless worn by priests and others
who took part in religious ceremonies;
and this is the case today among
primitive peoples all over the world.
The masks are supposed TO represent
the faces of gods. whose parts are
taken in the ceremonial by individuals
assuming the character of divinities.
In Polynesia the native deities are nat
urally oceanic, and many Of the masks
In that region represent astonishing
fishes and monsters of the sea such
as no human eye ever beheld.

TROTZKY'S TACTICS

New York, March 22-How an army
of $4,000 Kolchak troops melted

following a speech made to prisoners
of war by Leon Trotzky, in Omsk, ST.

uation by the All-Russian forces, was
told here today by Major General /.

Trotzky, he said. addressing the
prisoners as Comrades" said they
would be welcomed by the red army
if they cared to join. Captive officers,
he said. who wanted to return to Kol-
chak would be given safe escort and
1000 rubles each. A number of the
prisoners accepted the offer and, re-
turning to thei rown lines, told what
Trotzky had done. Within two weeks,
Geenral Thord-Gray said, Kolchak
had practically no army and few
months later was executed
General Thord-Gray went to ST.

Business Men of Ocala Want Our Sec
tiOn to Support Florida Devel-
Opment Board

Efforts to put this section of Flor
ida behind the new Florida Develop
n.ent Board were given considerable
impetus at the meeting of business
men of the city and county In the
Board of Trade room Saturday night.
Thi ssection of the state has been
asked to subscribe $1,000 of total of
$4,000 to be raised throughout Flor
ida as condition to the obtaining of
a charter for the new statewide or
ganization, and the committee ap-
pointed for the purpose will continue
the efforts to obtain the funds this
week.
The great need of an organization
ment Board was pointed out at the
meeting by Mr.. c. S. Ucker, of Balti-
more, executive vice president of the
Southern Settlement and Development
Organization, and Mr.. A. A. Coult of
Jacksonville, temporary secretary of
the Florida Development Board. They
called attention, among other things,
TO the need of a statewide organiza-
tion that would be In position to de-
fend Florida and the South against
such misinformation as is contained in
two articles appearing in the Country
Gentleman, March and 2Oth These
articles dealing with the soils of the
South give the impression that they
are all worn out and worthless except
with the application of large quanti-
ties of commercial fertilizer.
eff there is any aged or worn out
land in the United States the South
has it," says John r. Mcmahon in an
article of the current issue of the
Country Gentleman. Among the nine
groups of soil in this country graded
in the order of their natural fertility
the South stands at the very bottom.
This does not apply to the alluvial
land along the Mississippi river nor
to strips of agricultural pay dirt thru
out Texas. 1t does include most eve
rything south of Kentucky and West
Virginia. The main area which fol-
lows the Atlantic coast from Mary
land around to the Mississippi and
across Louisiana to eastern Texas is
described as light colored. sandy,
thoroughly leached and thoroughly de-
composed Soils"
Another paragraph in the article by
Mcmahon states that "the peninsula
Part of Florida seems to be ignored as
if it was composed simply of pure
sand and winter resorts"
Still another paragraph states that
FLORIDA with its pure sand in the
peninsula seems to have reached the
extreme and indeed. the final phase in
the ageing of SOIL. however, crops are
still grown-specialties like citrus
fruits and pineapples-as they might
be grown in medium of small marble
or broken glass, by artificial addition
of plant food"
Mr.. Coult informed the business
men at the meeting that as soon as
the article had come to his attention
he had taken the matter up directly
with the editor of the Country Gen
tleman and with the bureau of soils in
Washington. Mr.. Mcmahon seems to
have taken information from the
bureau of soils and misinterpreted
and misused it.

MORE AND BETTER BABIES
ASSOCIATED Pressl

Paris, March 22.-France is at last
arousing itself to the danger of dying
out. The privately conducted, uphill
fight for higher birthdate has been
taken over by the government thru
the creation of Higher Council of
Natality. This council of thirty. ap-
pointed by JIL. Breton, minister of
gygiese, was asked to act Immediately.
Mr.. Breton, father of five children, is
known as a strong friend of large
families. Three others of the new
cabinet are advocates of measures to
increase the French birthrate.
War cost France roughly 10000
lives. A low birthrate, during the war
years, cost France 1,272,735 loss of
population. These statistics. made
into striking pictures to illustrate
their effect on the nation, industry
and war danger are being used in a
vigorous campaign by the National
Alliance, for the increase of the
French population. This campaign is
being conducted by letters to members
of parliaemnt, posters, a magazine,
The Woman and the Child, and thru
the many socially and politically pow
erful persons interested in the move
ment.
The plainest sorts of truths are told
the French about the decreasing
birthrate. The National Alliance and
government officials hold that fam
