More British
Propaganda
ny MARYBoYLE o,REILLY

To supplement your i'm
portant exposures of Eng
ish propaganda, I send the
following:
Colonel Repington, Eng
lish war correspondent and
propaganda, has published
two large volumes Of his
diary in which he proves
that while Irishmen. Scotch
men, Canadians. Austria
ians, ETC., were dying for
the empire. English junk
ers were winning and dining
quite as they did before
the war.
In Volume II, page 4s2,
Repington, who claims to
be in the inner councils of
the English government.
outlines what pro-English
propaganda should be in
augurated in the Catholic
colleges of Catholic coun-
tries that are SUPPORTED
BY CATHOLICS for train
ing young Catholic priests.
I quote from Repington's
book.
ROME. Oct, 1851

at the British Embassy.
Bogey says that II Is no
good for the Pope to pull

Vol. H., p. 40; 81 think
that It would be better for
us q. e., the English Gov
ernment) to watch and
foster the Irish college
here Tin Rome) than to
boom Maynooth. At tho
latter place, though TIE
education In good, the
young priesthood brood
too much over Irish grew
ances, and they have Sim
Feiners.
Here in Rome they find
themselves In q larger
world, rub shoulders with
Englishmen, Scots and for
eigners of all races and
regain q sense Of proper
ton.
"It would be best to
close Maynooth. But we
should keep an eye on the
training stan OF the Irish
college here tRome) and
see that proper men ar,
appointed to teach. There
are anti-British infiuenc 81
here (Rome), too, and they

I shall not attempt TO dim
this gem Of English propa.
ganda by comment.

For People
Who Think

IELOH TWO e<dCIS are Idhell
from the news columns of the
u New York Times of October 3:
"CALICUT, India, Oct. g.
The situation in Melattur is be-
coming very serious y In the
fighting at. Nyalla last week 600
tribesmen were killed. The Brit
ISL, had fifty one casualties"
p. LONDON, Oct. IA situation
Of the utmost gravity is develop
ing in India, in consequence of
the declaration of Mahatma Gand-
hi X = that it is sinful for any
Mussulman or Hindu to serve the
existing government, whether as a
soldier or in any capacity what
soever."
These dispatches convey no news
to readers of this paper, but they do
show our readers how much easier
they get trustworthy information
about affairs in those parts of the
world still shrouded in censorship
than do readers of other papers.
For weeks past The Washington
Times, more especially in it's edi-
torial columns, has told its readers
that all India was in mutiny against
English rule; that among the Hindus
the mutiny took the form of boy
cotting everything English, from the
government down to the drink shops
and opium dens; that among the
Mohammedans the mutiny took the
shape of armed resistance, since the
Mohammedans could obtain arms;
that England would have to patch
mp peace in Ireland and an under
standing with the Turks in order
to have any hope of retaining mill
tary rule over India; and, finally,
that India babe fair to gain her free
dom no matter what England did.
Our readers have been told how
boycotted British goods, to the value
Of millions of dollars, are lying un-
claimed and rotting on wharves in
India; how thousands of natives
have returned in scorn the titles
with which the British administra-
ton sought to appease them; how
not even the incoming of great num-
bers of airplanes and tanks and the
massing and training of innumer-
able troops have sufficed to quell the
rising spirit of native independence,
which, is sweeping through all
castles like a prairie fire when the
grass is dry.
Now begin to come the tardy and
reluctant combinations of the
truth of all we have said for months
past about conditions in India, in
Afghanistan, in Turkey and the
Near East.
Readers Of this paper can be GER
tain that they are better informed
as to the real truth of affairs abroad,
which censorship. is interested in
hiding, than are readers of any other
newspaper in this city.
We make ga paper for people who
think" and we conceive it to be
our first obligation to give them
true news to think about.

Youth
in Death
NKANY words have been written
W on how to live a hundred

I'LL vi hoW W iNO nuhuAOo
Ava years, on how to keep
wrinkles, gray hairs and other indi-
cations of age from showing, and
on every other conceivable phase
of the eternal struggle against in
evitable death.
But Prof. j. Arthur Thomson, of
Aberdeen University, in an article
on "The Control of Life" ap-
proaches the problem in a sensible
way.
He tells Chow To Be Young
When You Die"
The trouble with years is that
they pillage the soul.
1t is not only that they stiffen the
joints, harden the arteries, loosen
the teeth and thin the hair, but
that they destroy our illusions, drain
our pep, rub out our rainbows and
assassinate our hopes. Thus is made
gray our golden West.
There is no use trying to keep
from growing old; that were to
struggle against the stars in their
courses. The thing to do is so to
adjust ourselves to it as to preserve
the maximum of joy in life.
Physiologically nothing can stop
the bones from becoming lighter and
more brittle, the muscles from weak
ening SO that we take on the in
evitable stoop, the nervous tele-
graphic service from slowing up, the
arteries from becoming less elastic,
the various parts of the body from
failing in co-ordination-and so
from hour to hour we rot and rot.
This being the case, the art of life,
according to Professor Thomson, is
to be young when you die.
And the best recipe for this, he
says, is Love.
Love is the climax of adolescence.
And this is not a mere crisis of the
flesh. 1t is "a reaching out of the
whole being, impulsively rather
than deliberately, intuitively rather
than nationally"
And in this outpouring and self
giving the spirit finds its surest
fountain of perpetual youth.
Aging is simply, in its spiritual
essence, a dropping off of resources,
a slackening of interests, failure
to react to beauty, a lessening of
ones courage to accept. the chal-
lenges of life and fate.
And the one source of energy to
prevent this is Love.
Love is continuously creative.
Doubt and disillusion are continu-
ously destructive.
Love-all kinds-sex love, love of
children, love of friends, love of
humanity, love of God, whatever
label may be on the bottle, it con-
tains the liquor of life.
1t is the loveless who are lonely.
not the solitary. 1t is the loveless.
not the widowed, who are bereft.
It is the loveless who are the
Philistines in art, the cynics in let
ters, the pessimists in politics, and
they are "dead, moist, unpleasant
bodies"
1t is the loveless who are the
apostles of death.
1t is only Love can say: "The
world is full of beauty-love, color
the note of bird, a child's laugh,
the good brown earth freshly turned,
a summer evening when the world.
as Francis Thompson says, is like
a great, fragrant, smoking thurible
