A Plea for Ireland

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
The cries OF Ireland are resounding
across the sea. VIII America turn a
deaf ear to a people who are seeking
the same freedom for which she
fought and gained during the years
OF 1878 to 17S1% VIII Ireland's arms
be stretched forth in vain to a nation
OF liberty loving people? Surely this
cannot be possible. America cannot
so soon forget what IT means to be
dominated by another nation. II is
not in the hearts OF the American
people to stand with folded arms and
watch a weaker sister struggle for
freedom.

Another Plan To Raise Bonus

To the Editor OF THE TINES
Much has been said about the in
debtedness of the country, and why
no further bonus should be given to
the boys. This may be good for
those who are wearing fur-collared
overcosts. but let's get down to
brass tacks. Some say 1t will be
necessary to noat another loan. This
Is quite unnecessary, as a plan pro-
posed by a former member OF the Y.
N. c. A. Overseas Theatrical League
solves the problem: Raise the price
OF all postage stamps 81 cent" taking
the extra revenue to make up the re-
quired amount for the bonus. This
would not put heavy tax upon the
shoulders OF our already heavily
taxed population, and II would not
take long to make up the amount nee
essary. The people will recall that
not so long ago stamps sold for q
cent more than they do today.

enues, they were not allowed TO go
the way that every other concern
would have to go. I fail to see any
reason or Justice in attempting to
bolster up fares to keep this concern
alive, when, through Encouragement
and graft in manipulation of their
stock they cry for greater returns on
what they claim to have invested. II
they are so weak financially, and II
their financial affairs must be guarded
by Congress and the Utilities Com
mission, let them fall. as they should
Then. perhaps, some one will take
hold of the affair and administer it
in buslness-like way, and give us
at'least a pretense at service. Very

Needy and Helpless Need Aid
Before Animals.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
A day set aside for kindness TO
animals and a collection taken for the
care of dogs and cats shows a Christ
ian spirit by the same misguided
charity that sent ships sailing away
with food and clothes for the suffer
ing people of Europe before we pro-
vided for the sick, starving babies and
the homeless old people and the de-
vastated regions OF our own slums.
While there Is a sick baby needing
milk and warmth and care or the
broken-hearted poverty-stricken old
people needing unselfish sympathy
and help, we have lost all moral per-
spective II we look over and beyond
human suffering TO grow sentimen-
tai over a lesser thing than baby's
hungry cry and tn, ,sobs in the hearts
OF the old.
Furthermore, abuse OF animals is
not a characteristic trait OF American
nature
