U. 5. HAILED AS mighty
ALLY" BY IRISH BISHOP
Mgr. Fegarty, of Killaloe, Lauds
Senate Action in Voting
Freedom" Reservation.

MENAH, Ireland, April 29.-The i'm
portance of the action of the United
States Senate in voting the reserva-
ton indorsing the Irish struggle for
freedom "could not be, overstated."
declared Mgr. Michael Fogarty, bishop
of Killaloe. in a sermon here. He said
it registered the death OF tyranny in
Ireland" and he hailed the United
States as a mighty ally for free-
dom.
III Ireland had had one days rest
from the reign of terror she suffer-
ed" he declared, "she would have
celebrated with solemn services in
every church throughout the land
that declaration OF America. But in
her manacles, from dungeons and
from above the graves OF her martyr
ed dead. she saluted the great people
Of America for this declaration of
sympathy and hope in her national
struggle
"She rejoiced," he continued, mot
only for her own sake. but for the
sake of justice and honest truth. She
rejoiced there was still one nation
whose war flag was not interlaced
with vile hypocrisy. With such a
mighty ally, Ireland can afford to
bide her time in calm confidence.
United, resolute and determined, 1t Is
only a matter of a short time until
tyranny is overthrown and national
justice is made triumphant
"There is a fissure already visible
in Dublin Castle, and cement cannot
be made that will close it again. In
few years Dublin Castle will be,
with the Bastile of Paris, in the limbo
of time"

WASHINGTON HAS A
DOUCHNUT MYSTERY

There used to be a time when
stage folks were unable to get a
good nights rest unless they had a
glass or two OF champagne and a bit
of chicken before retiring. but now
days plebeian kitchen made dough-
nuts are supplanting the prohibitive
liquor and the sky-priced bird.
At least it would so appear from
advertisements in all the Washing
ton newspapers asking for BIDS for
1000 doughnuts daily to be deliver
ed to Polls Theater when John Henry
Mears presents the Century Midnight
Whirl there from Tuesday, May 4, to
Sunday. May 8. When asked the rea-
son for all these doughnuts, the rep
resentative OF Mr.. Mears, said that
each member of the company had
stipulated in his or her contract that
certain number of doughnuts be
provided daily. 1t all seems a bit of
a mystery, and the solver should be
literally rewarded-poss bly, by
doughnuts. which are retailing for a
nickel apiece in the lunch rooms. The
company claims the champion dough-
nut eaters Of the world, and we pre-
sumo these ladies and gentlemen
have generous nature and when
ordering the doughnuts. they asked
for 1000 so that the audience could
also participate in the feast of this
American del'cacy.
It Is the intention. according to
statement from the management of
the Century Midnight Whirl, to give
a real midnight 'uch to this noctur-
nal show by having seats placed on
the stage. There are to be limited
number " seats at tables on the
stage, which 1t is expected will be
auctioned off at the beginning of
each performance.

IMPORTANT PROBLEMS.

/. 1nasmuch as the industry Is going
through one OF the most critical
periods in its history, the next an
nual meeting is expected to surpass
all others in Importance. BY then
the consumer will have had his first
Introduction to the seal. for by that
time canned foods bearing the seal
will have made their appearance on
grocers shelves.
Held at Atlantic City. the annual
meeting will be made accessible to
the greatest number of Gamers, and
It's proceedings should come under the
general observation of the largest
number of distributors of canned
foods. Distinctly in favor OF Atlantic
City is the fact that II has the reaui-
site number OF hotels and that It can
adequately take care OF the machin-
cry exhibit and the food show which
has been suggested in connection
with the exhibit.
Young's Million-D Dollar Pier has
been secured for the machinery ex-
hibit, and arrangements have been
made for adequate heating facilities.
One OF the possible features in con-
nection with the machinery exhibit is
a model cannery to be shown under
actual working conditions!
This time there will be no conven-
tion hotel, but meetings will be hell
in all boardwalk hotels. The opening
session viii probably take place on
the Steel Pier.

WHITE HOUSE BIRDS AT
WAR; DEAD COVER LAWN
Owls Drive off Martins in Sanguary
Battles Witnessed by President
and Mrs. Wilson,

Nightly visits of the great flock of
martins to the big elms in front of
the White House have ceased, pre-
sumably as a result of terrific raids
by the owls which have their habitat
in the south grounds.
The first onslaught of the owls was
made several nights ago and created
havoc among the thousands of mar
tins roosting in the trees. Wild
screeches continued throughout the
might, and next morning the lawn was
literally covered with dead birds.
The blackbirds failed to rout the
Visitors, and just at dusk each even
hing a great cloud of the martins
|swooped down into the trees and set
tiled there after short aerial battles
with feathered fighters having nests
lin the vicinity.
The President and Mrs. Wilson had
watched the visits and gyrations of
the martins with great interest, sew
eral evenings going to the front por-
tico to watch the spectacle.
