IRISH VOLUNTEERS. IN SEA OF BLOOD
 AND DESTRUCTION
Sim Fein Disorders Continue With Increased Violence
 Throughout Country. ' KILLED AT TRALEE
Volunteers Slaughtered by Military 5 Policemen
 Shot Tn Londonderry.

DUBLIN, Ireland, Nov. S.-The moral miracle" which Bishop Foley recently declared would be neces- sary if parts of Ireland are not to be plunged into a sea of bloOdshed and slaughter" apparently has fail ed to materialize.
 Seven volunteers were reported killed in a fight with British mili- tary at a causeway near Tralee Saturday, "A arrests were made in Cork during the curfew hours Sat urday night, and wild scenes were witnessed in Londonderry the same night as a sequel to a sudden attack on policemen there. Five policemen were shot, two of whom are not ex- pected to recover. Two shops were burned and several others wrecked
 Destruction of life and property throughout Ireland on such a scale as would fall little short of that which befell Northern France at the hands of the Germans is threat ened, many say.
 The huge property losses are causing almost as much indignation and anxiety as the loss of life. With taxpayers already agitated over the question of who is to pay for the damages resulting from reprisals committed by the Black and Tans" or semi military force employed by the British Government to suppress Sim Feiner disorders, the total, a month ago estimated at nearly 10,- 900, 0,000, daily grows larger. Already awards amounting to 5,000.000 pounds have been assessed against the Irish taxpayers.
 Taxpayers Held.
 The law prescribes that the tax payer shall pay for all willful dam age to property or life maliciously conflicted The county judges who pass upon claims arising from dam ages in Black and Tan reprisals have granted awards to the claim ants and attempted to make them the charge against the local author ities. They have, however, indicated in their judgments that they be- lieve the government should make good the losses caused by it's own servants.
 The principal taxpayers in Ireland are for the most part Unionists who are the largest property hold CTS and would be hardest hit if the taxpayers were compelled to pay these damage claims While they are anxious to help the government put down disorder. many disapprove of the Black and Tan reprisals and are unwilling to pay for the con sequences of them.
 Statement Asked.
 The Irish Times, the principal Unionist newspaper, demands that the government shall make clear public statement that the obliga ton to compensate for murder. arson and robbery committed by the ser wants of the government is ac- knowledged by the government and will be promptly met"
 The government paid the bill of about 5000. .0OO pounds for the damage suffered by the city of Dub lin in the Easter week rebellion and this is pointed to as a preced- ent for similar action in the matter of Black and Tan reprisais.
 It is expected that the govern ment will also be asked to pay for the damage inflicted by the Sim Feiners. Besides there is a bill for the damage done by orangemen in TfIster towns

She is not only one of the foremost

unquestionably one Of the most popu

Rotary influence is Practical''
Says President of Rotary

Effectiveness Of Doctrine Can Be
Carried Into Home, Office and Fac.
tery-Rotary Spirit Means Cheer
fuiness as Well as Realization Of
Service.
(By Albert S. Adams. President inter-
national Association Of Rotary Clubs.)
What is Rotary? 1t is Just an active
everyday Misunderstanding that can
he taken into the office or shop or fac
tory-and that impels a man who has
become a Rotarian to greet his en-
ployes with smile and a CHEEKY good
morning '-something he can take home
to the wife and kids-something that
makes him more considerable to every
one with whom, he comes in contact.
Il is an influence that is bringing men
out OF the shadows" and making them
unashamed to tell the other fellow how
they value his friendship-to 60 to him
IN his troubles with help and encour-
agement-to rejoice with him in his sue
cess and to cry openly in their sympa-
thy and love when the shadows fall
about him.
II has reminded men, full grown and
successful. how to play again-for es
--lhert Hubbard has said. Rotary is to
help others and TO make two laughs
grow where but one crouch grew be.
! fore"
II IS making men realize that the boy
IS the stuff out Of which men are
made and that 'it is better to put I'D
hand rail- and save the boy than to
run dead wagon for fallen men,"
; Its influence is teaching men tina, tho
Using and not the making of monav ia
! the real JOY in life-and that every man
owes civic debt to the town in which
ne lives. which can only be paid by CIV

! ing.
IL Is making men see that the Golden
Ruie is not only the best policy. but the
| only policy in business; and that there
IS something finer in business than mere

1t has taught US that there is a vas.
difference between Succeeding" and
winning" To win some mus, los.
But we can all SUCCEED and at the
same time help others up the ladder OF

IL IS making men recognize that "busi-
ness wherf honorably conducted, and
! the making Of money, when it is proper
; " used. are the things that are making
the world better place in which to
live.
Rotary's influence touches men Of all
ages. Of all kinds. of all stations in life.
OF many occupations and professions; It
makes them all seek for the Ideal Of
Service, binding them together in an
association devoted to "organized un-
selfishness." and filled with the Rotary
spirit that believes in and practices:
Red roses for the living and hand
clasp warm and true,
A heart that's tuned to giving, and
strength to dare and do:
The sound Of honest laughter. the ioy
Of honest toll
For those that follow after to leave
a finer soil
All this has been and ever will be the
Rotary plan.
A mans sincere endeavor to serve his
fellow man"
