was to find the right person, and for
period that actually extended itself

SsPs ars beiRs taken to ~eFssAisa in this STATE Is
slsAWAeRe the movement far tbs relief Of the destitute
in IyNlAAa. Such an enest at once appeals to every hu-
mAAat1RaA sentiHnsat. The world has learned much Of
desttt30en in these recent days. and many appeals for
the aid Of the suffering have besn made. Those APP
pAal& have in alHost all ca4ee net with prompt and gen
eTou$ response from the American people. As a rule
thsy have been made or behalf of these in Europe who
have suffered frem the results of the war, or of these in
Asia vhs are in privation because Of famine conditions.
The appeal for the relief Of distress in Ireland will
come With peculiar force in this country. because those
on whsse behalf it is made seeak the languages eomueply
spoken in our own land, and are connected by ties of
zens These facts constitute a special bond of sympathy
between our people and those in Ireland. ami will un-
undoubtedly aid in the labors of those who have devoted
Themselves to this cause.
The Heralds understanding Of the Irish relief move
meRt is that it is non ssctarian and non-pelitical. In
In the prosecution of that work there has been no re-
gard for national boundaries, for divisions of faith. race
or language, and none for the POLITICAL ambitions Of the
cnmpatriots Of those for whom relief has been planned
The movement has been based on broad considerations
of humanity, and has been directed toward the relief OF
human suffering wherever that relief could enectivel,
be given. And in arransing fer aid for those who are
in dire need in Ireland, and whose needs cannet be rae
by local agencies, NO proper consideration can be gives
to any fac, except that of human distress.
Those Of our people who feel a special interest il
the political future Of Ireland have a perfect right t
take any steps consistent with their Obligations as Amer

THE GERMAN Ex.EMPREss.

The copaeetion Of the former kaiser with the war
which brought such devastation upon the world is such
as to involve in public condemnation ali who were In any
way associated With him, and this feeling has undoubtedly
tended to blunt the sympathy which would otherwise have
besn felt for his wife in her exile from her .home and
friends, and in being compelled to spend the closing days
of her life not only in illness, but under a dark cloud
which has overshsdowed her entire family. Slight bits
Of Information have come from time to time from the res-
the frasility Of the former Empress of Germany, and the
aaanes& Of her life. So far as the world knows. she was
kept in ignorance of the suicide of one of her sons. The
others apparently have kept IN touch with her, and what
aver spspieions she may have entertained concerning the
fate of the missing one, have not been made known to the
putAte.
The former enapress had probably less to do with the
politics Of her nation than had the female members Of al
most any a&her ruling family of Europe. There has been
published enough concerning the personal character and
domestic life of the kaiser during the days of his prosper
lity to indicate that in the domestic circle, as in court. he
played the 6rant whenever opportunity presented itself.
His wife VA apparently satisfied that 1t should be SO. A
woman, domestic in her tastes, trained in the belief that
her husband was her lieEe lord, before whom ali other
Wills must bow. Such a life as hers was at Pottsdan,
was probably as consenial to her as it could have been
to any reFpon. Her life was passed in a round OF domestic
tasks and she possessed neither the ability nor the will to
minsle in the great political game which has absorbed
the attention of 50 many other brilliant women who. oc-
eupy places on or near . throne.
Domestic as she was, and conferred as her life had been
in the family circle and in the charitable work to which
she was Devoted, 1t Is impossible. nevertheless to conceive
Of her ~ being iusensiblc to the miatortuntcs which had
~ovextaken her family. Her loyalty to that family and its
head, and the uisfortunes which have attended them had
created in her the conviction that suffering was being
poured upon them unjustly through some mysterious dis
pensaton Of Providence. Two years and more of exile
from her country where she and her husband have prac-
tieally been prisoners. xavst have weighed heavily on her
spirit. While there seems to have been nothing in her
chasacter to indicate eonspicuous ability in any direction
and while those who have suffered so grievouely at the
hand Of the Hohenzollern family are not likely to be very
liberal in their sympathies toward any Of its members
the death Of this woman who once occupied such a con.
spieuous position, who fell 80 sadly from her high state
and whose closing days we're passed in sorrow and mis-
fortune. must prompt some feeling Of sympathy, even
among thoss who regard with the severest condemnation
the ae4s Of her husband in seeking to make himself lord
Of the earth.
