Ireland, Brooding Injustice,
Pictured as Unforgiving
and Unreasonable.
English, in urn, Remember
COlluSiOn of Irish With
Germans in 1916.

through ghastly winter when
the Germans held all the good po-
sitions against US on the ridges
in Flanders. while we We're in the
flats and swamps at a time when
we were still weak in artillery, so
that they pounded our men with
shell fire and we could answer
back but feebly. Day after day.
night after night, our men were
blown to bits. our casualty lists
heightened with the names of our
noble youths. and We knew that
the Germans were hardly touched
in strength, while on other fronts
they were winning stupendous
victories and England's life was
menaced.
At that very time the Irish tried
to stab US in the back-did stab
US in the back. Young officers of
ours. and of theirs, on leave in
Dublin. were shot down, some
times without arms in their hands.
Young Irish boys sniped English
soldiers from the roofs. though
some of our officers would not give
the word of command to fire back
on them. as 1 know, because of
the youth Of those lads. There
was proof since, admitted without
shame, that the Irish leaders were
in negotiation with the Germans
for active help. They expected
German ships to arrive with arms
and ammunition. and with fight
Ing men. They were willing to get
any kind of German help in order
to defeat England in her time of
peril. Count Plunkett, / am told,
went in disguise to Germany to
negotiate this aid. Easement in
Germany was acting on his own
initiative, tortured by his con-
science and by his fears.
When that news came to us it
seemed at FIRST Incredible, and
then unforgivable. 1t is still hard
to forget or forgive by any En-
glishman. and by some Irishmen.

Evil In Scarcity Of Homes.

Much OF the unrest OF the country
IS due to the scarcity of homes, ac-
cording 20 f. Roger Miller, secretary
of the chamber of commerce, Macon,
Ga, who addressed the convention OF
the National Association OF CONNER
cial Organization Secretaries at their
meeting in Chicago.
Marriages have continued at the
rate of 100000 yearly in the United
States" he said. But in 1918 only
20 900 new homes were erected, while
i'm 1919 the number of new homes was
only 10000.
"Ths home shortage Is not due TO
the war, hat TO a neglect of the prin-
ciples and ideals of our fOrefathers.
Out of every 100 Americans % are dis
contented."
Mr. Miller suggested placing the
housing problem upon community
basis, with opportunity fer every man
to buy n home suitable TO his income,
and enactment of bills to provide fed
erul aid for home builders.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
By c. N. LURE
Common Errors In English and
How 10 Avoid Them
AGGRAVATED AND 'PRovokED'.

IlT WAS so aggravated that | almost
4 became ILL.," said woman to
whom something vexatiOus had hap
pened. She was guilty Of an error Of
speech which Is quite common, and
which is condemned by all authorities
on English. The word "aggravate" Is
derived from Latin word meaning
ITO increase In weight" and In English
usage should be employed only TO mean
TO Increase in gravity or severity, to
become worse" Therefore, II Is cor
rect to say that a disease or misfor-
tune may be aggravated. but not the
person who has the disease or is sub
ject TO the misfortune.
But this Is drifting somewhat from
our subject. 1t Is TO be borne In mind
that aggravated" does not mean and
should never be used In the sense OF
angry" ''veXed," "exasperated." "irri-
tated." etc. In the sentence with which
thiS article began any of these four
words, or word OF similar meaning
should be substituted for aggravated. .

nelghbOr as we do Ourself, we have to
know him pretty well, and there is
nothing like these neighbOrly reunions
as a means of getting acquainted.
1t may be that some of us will have
to do little mental and spiritual
housecleaning before Christmas day
dawns. We shall have to rid ourselves
Of all the old rubbish OF grudges, dis
