A CALL FROM TRALEE.

We, in this land of plenty, must think
of dear Tralee,
We can't forget our mother town, in
that valley by the sea;
They are carrying on the struggle,
and the least that we can do
Is to send some help to show them
that we're with them through and
through.
Think of the friends you left behind,
your schoolmates young and gay,
In their bitter situation they call on
you today;
They call to you for succor, will you
listen to their plea?
Surely you won't unheed the call that
comes from sweet Tralee.
From Oakpark, out to Blennerville:
from Strand Road and the Rock,
The call comes out to us from those
who bear the battles shock;
From Ballyseedy to Ballyard, Ballo-
nagh, Boherbee,
Bridge street, The Mall, and Castle
street, they call us from Tralee.
Think of the hungry children, the
women lone and drear,
Their men are hunted on the hills, but
still they have no fear;
They are suffering for old Ireland
and though the sky looks black,
Tralee men keep on fighting, led by
gallant Austin Stack.
Tralee, we hear you calling, and you
will not call in vain,
From Columbia we will help you.
with all our might and main;
Your sons and daughters honor you,
though far across the sea,
Gods blessing on you, dear old town
we love you, sweet Tralee.
John p. Bradley.
4. Tralee men and women worthy of
the name are surely longing for spe
cial opportunity to prove their affec
tionate loyalty to their former fellow
townsmen in distress.
A list of the names of those who
contribute upwards of 81, and of those
who give less, if they request it, will
appear in the Tralee papers. The
money will be forwarded through
Mrs. McWhorter of Chicago.
Already we have met with very en-
couraging success, as one contribution
of $25, two Of $40 each, one for S.
and one for So have been received.
Please make your checks payable

lief Committee, and address them to

Stephano bids Caliban speak: "Moon

beest good moon-calf." Trinculor
had previously exclaimed: Servant
monster! The folly of this island!
They say there's but five upon this
isle: we are three of them: if tn

Mr.. Floyd Dell, in current number

THE ROSE TREE.

Maybe a breath of polite words
Has withered our Rose tree;
Or maybe but wind that blows

James Connolly replied,
ITO make the green come out again
And spread on every side,
And shake the blossom from the bud
To be the gardens pride"
"But where can we draw water

THE NUNS PORTRAIT.

In his studio an artist was intently
studying the photograph of a nun.
From time to time his earnest gaze
turned toward an easel on which
rested the unfinished picture of a
young girl mounted on a beautiful
gray horse. The face in the painting
was not finished, nor were the hands,
and the brow of the painter was
clouded in a fruitless endeavor to
catch some tangible expression to put
on canvas. The artists young wife
entered the studio quite unobserved;
he was in deepest thought when she
touched him lightly on the shoulder

He showed her the photograph of
the nun.

years old, has completed con1bina-

NEW YORK, May 1S.-''A rose is sweet only when it is called a rose"

America Should Take First Step For Disarmament Says
 International Alliance Man

CHICAGO, May 1S.-The initial step in reduction of armaments' should be taken by the United States. the Rev. William Pierson Merrill, chair man of the, American Branch of the World Alliance for International Friendship. declared tonight in an ad. dress before the congress on reduc- tion of armaments. He urged Amer ica to adopt a policy of reduction ra- ther than expansion even if other na- tions failed to agree to limitation of ornaments.
 The conference, which is being at tended by delegates from IS states, is being held in connection with the sixth annual meeting of the Alliance for International Friendship.
 International friendship will re- store business property and interna- tional law will be an effective sub- stitute for wars, Edward A. Filene, a business man of Boston. said.
 Road to Peace Hard
 "The road back to the plateau of peace IS ndTu, ne shlu. ITOsTeSS demands international friendship. Restoration of business after the war demands that we act and think na- tionally like good neighbors-not fight like bad neighbors.'

 For Reduction Policy
 If other nations refused to join the United States, he declared, he want ed America to announce a policy of reduction rather than expansion. but not to strip off its armaments while others remained fully equipped"
 He said he wanted the United States to limit armament expendi- lures to 90 per cent of the national income. He declared there was no reason for American naval expansion. adding that Japan could not compete with America in naval building and that a naval policy contemplating war with Great Britain was shameful"

WASHINGTON. May 1S.-EcOnomy advocates won the first bout in the senate today on the $500. 0.O00. .000 naval appropriation bin. After the agree ment yesterday by administration forces to support the Borah amend ment requesting the president to call disarmament conference, attack turned today on appropriation items and on the first test of strength, $1,- 00O,0O0 was pared from the bill.
 Through a combination of Repub- licans with Democrats. the senate by vote of 39 to 31, cut the apprSpria- tion of s3,500,000, recommended by the naval committee for transporta- ton and recruiting of men, to 2,50O.- 900. On the next vote, however, enough Republicans changed to sus- tain the committee increase from ST. 500,000 to $9,000,00O for navy yard and docks.
 Cuts Out Drydock
 Another economy move was in the adoption of amendments suspending the Charleston, s. c. drydock project until July l, 1924. By vote of 40 to 2S, the senate adopted a commit tee recommendation prohibiting the drydock expenditure.
 Thereafter, however, a number of the committee amendments were adopted. These included appropria. tions of a million and a half dollars for development of submarine and destroyer base at Guam; $S00,000 for the Sand Point, Wash, naval afr sta ton; $l,000,000 for development of a submarine base at San Pedro, Cal, and $15,OOO.00 toward the construc- tion of two airplane carriers.

LONDON, May 1S.-(By the Asso- ciated Press) - The freedom with which Premier Lloyd George and Premier Briand are debating the Si- lesian situation through newspapers and the strong words they are using is creating a great stir in England
 Heads of the two governments af- ter their numerous conferences were expected to understand each other. Apparently each has chosen the plan of campaign he considers the most effective against his opponent. NJ. Briand will have the next word in the French parliament tomorrow
 The premier's unexpected state ment today is popularly interpreted as a warning to NJ. Briand not to go too far in his pronouncement before the chamber
 Lloyd Georges reference to Great Britain's willingness to use her fleet, followed by the declaration that Brit ain cannot stand by while the treaty is trampled on, is taken as signifi- cant of future developments, depend ing chiefly on whether M Rriand to- morrow proclaims widening of the gulf between the policies of the two countries or pictures them as follow. ing the same principle.
 The government is anxious to have the supreme council meet during the week end, believing that delay in
