To the Editor of The Evening World
As a daily reader of your paper,
wish to enlig'hten your correspondent
Hattie Bruch in regard to why Ire
land (part Of it) refused to be con-
Scripted into the English army. | am
afraid she did not read the records OF
Irish soldiers in the World War.
While the Irish and colonial troops
were in the firing pits the English
troops were held in reserve in the
rear.
Where do you read the news that
Ireland wants this nation to fight for
her freedom? Ireland's fight for lib
erty has been going on for 700 years
against tyrannical, oppressive ma
ton who can only fight women and
children Irelands cause is as sacred
as that OF the thirteen original colon
les that sent Benjamin Franklin to
France TO obtain her support in the
American Revolution.
Ireland is slurred by fanatical hypo-
| critics who talk glibly about the free
dom OF small nations" Ireland never
recognized English rule and never

have fought for the liberty Of every

lOld Glory since its birth and made

TO uphold its honor. The United
States has made the world safe for
England. With the Germans on the
way to Paris, the English fell back
lbeaten until the United States Ma
rines stopped their advance at the
Marne and Chateau Thierry
Why do certain Americans boast so

VEHICLES OF PROGRESS.

WHATEVER Skepticim we may have about
w moral progress, there can be no doubt
whatever Of the material progress which has fol-
lowed the discovery and application of steam and
electricity.
After long periods Of pedestrian progress men
invented social institutions as vehceS-the school,
the factory the state, political parties.
Sometimes one or another gets stalled or has
blowout. Now and again reckless drivers get in
control, see red, and start on joy ride TO Utopia.
The mad dreamerS Of Moscow furnish a striking
Illustration.
But Just because we do not believe in allowing
BosbeHsts 10 smash the social and political ma
chine is no reason why in the year 1921 we should
be content to jog along with model suited 10 the
needs of 1921.
Something very much like this is what Mr..
Thomas L. Chadburne, formerly a member of the
Presidents Industrial Conference and now the Pres
hent of the American Association of Labor DegiS-
iation seems to have had in mind when addressing
the members Of that body, he said:
q do not know how we can educate the
workers and the employers unless Of our
great parties-for this is twO-party Nation
determines that It will invite into It's coun-
lieves in changing the governmental struc-
ture by peaceful, by construetional methods
but is determined that It must be changed"
In America and elsewhere there has been some
fling of slump in the idealism inspired by the
war. Political evangeistS, taking advantage of
this tendency to slip back to lower levels, have
preached with sancthmoniouS accent return to nor
mahy.
But to retrace our steps is as impossible as Il is
undesirable To 90 back now would be not
normally, but abnormalcy.
All the surface Indications Of the election returns
TO the contrary notwithstanding, the people-and
particularly the people who toll with their hands
will not 20 back. They are determined to con-
sodate the gains made during the war.
Writers who interpret "what the workers want
and whats on the workers mind" agree that the
hboring man is tired of living in daily dread Of I'M
employment illness and want in old age.
They must be insured against these Triple Fates.
Unrest will continue until they are. Moreover,
they want some share in the control OF the industry
TO which they contribute so large a share Of their
waking hours
Mr. Chadburne is impatient with the compacency
of contemporary politicians and recommends that
one of the parties-obvousy meaning the Demo-
Gratis Party-welcome the more liberal elements in
the Nation and with their aid enter upon a career
Of hHnanizing socializing and democratzing in
dustry.
These are dynamic days, Static craftsmanship
cannot meet the demands Of the hour. We are
about push on from 1920 to 1921. The pol-
cal party that is moving forward in modern
motor-driveH vehicle of progress viii carry the pas
sengers and really get somewhere: Those who
prefer may loitsr along in a horse-drawn coach

Evening World Readers Helped
Tenement Children.
rs the BdtOr q Ths ESsninE World:
A few weeks ago you kindly pub
lished for us a letter asking your read
to help the A. I. C. p. nurses and wish
tors in their Christmas red stocking
work. You win be glad to know that
the response to that appeal by your
readers was most generous. The
nurses and visitors were enabled to
realize their ideal-of seeing that
every child in their families was re-
membered with one OF these stockings
on Christmas morning Approx
mately 1900 were received and put
into the hands OF these tenement
house children. It made a happy
Christmas for them, and am sure
it added Joy to the many who helped
in the filling of the stockings.
We have tried to acknowledge by
letter all that came to us. Perhaps in
the rush OF the Christmas week a few
were overlooked. II we could thank
them through your columns we should
be glad-thanks from our nurses and
visitors, and no less from all the
mothers and children for whom this
was done. And OF course we are
grateful to The Evening World for
making the needs of these children
known. BAILEY b. BURRlTT,

Your editorial advocating disArma

There Is no earthly reason why one
half the people OF the world should
be compelled TO support the other half
in UNIFORM and idleness, Disarma-
ment will only come, however, when
every taxpayer, both here and in
Europe positively refuses to pay one
dollar in taxes for the support OF
armies and navies.
II there were no armies or nnvies
there would be no wars Armies and

are local or State organizations 10

BrNnch hickey recently issued a
statement in order to make it plain
that there is not a remote chance of

Stories Not New.
Rickey's statement. in part. follows ::
Papers have been printing stories
about the sale of Rogers Hornsby.
This is not new or unexpected. as
Hornsby has been sold on several pre-
vious occasions. However. rumors are
so persistent that even one club pres
ident is quoted as having become quite
exercised about the sale Cf Hornsby.
In order to make il unnecessary for
any one to devote his attention fur

serve the further purpose of again
identifying Rogers H6rnsby as reg
uar member of the Cardinal club,
will say once more that Hornsby is
not for sale.
Obligations Met Promptly.
Two or three stories have been print
ed to the effect that the St. Louis club
has very heavy obligations to meet in
the payment to Mrs. Britton for the
club. All of these obligations have
been met fully and promptly. There
is an erroneous impression back of
such stories regarding the financial
backing of the st. Louis club.
Now, as to the sale of Hornsby. We
have been offered 100000 in cash and
two players for Hornsby. Our renly
was that if you change the two to five
our answer is the same. Not inter
