IRISH AMBUSCADE BRINGS REPRISAL

Seven Homes Near Cork Burned After Attack on
 Military-Three Killed. POLICE RAIDS CONTINUE

 For Suspected Men.

CORK, Jan. 3-Military headquar homes in nearby towns and theii contents had been burned by Crown forces in reprisals for recent ani- buscade of military police near Mid dleton when one policeman was kill! ed and eight wounded Two of the latter have since died Inmates of the homes burned are declared to have had guilty knowledge of the ambuscade.
 A great deal of military and police activity in Cork. Dublin and other Irish cities in raiding all sorts of houses is explained by the fact that the Government has rounded into the cities many suspected men.
 Many "On the Run"
 There were men in most districts Of Ireland who were sought by the Police. They were. in the Irish phrase "on the keeping" and it is q tradition in Ireland that any man lon the run from the Government is entitled to sanctuary. Many persons. even those who disapprove of out rages. share this feeling and would be willing to harbor shch men with out inquiry.

The early pioneers many from foreign
lands, learned that lesson and be-
came new evangels of the faith that
built Americas firm foundations. They
were God-fearing and kept their rec
ords clean. If we need anytb;ng today
it is to revive their virtues and march
on with their vision of our countrys
destiny. America is not Europe.
MIR. Garland was born at West Sa-
lem, sixty-ene years ago and still re-
turns every summer to the old home
stead near West Salem. His wife is a
sister of dorado Taft, the sculptor,
and by the way, cousin of our ex-
President Taft.
Mr.. Garland is also poet but even
in verse he sings the songs and dreams
the dreams of the pioneer days with
out touch of the deeadent drumming
that marks some modern verse.

" These express so clearly the opin-
ion held of the association, that The
pilot has obtained several for publ
cation.
One of the best is that written by
Miss Marion Stone, in English Nv, I'M
der Miss Baker:
"If YOU will notice, in this town
everything is done for the boys and
is given to the boys. OF course, the
bows have shown the town that they
can work and that the money that is
given to them will go into good
cause" writes Miss Stone.
Want Fun
cOf the<girls, on the other hand, 1t
has always been thought, oh, they
can't do anything. They have to stay
at home and do the homework. Well,
this is true in some homes, but all
girls want to have some fun. The
Y. w. G. A. was given to the girls for
all the fun that they want to have
in it. but the question is Where is
the room for them to have the fun
Outside they have not big yard to
play in Inside, they have to be lit
tie quieter than they wish to be be-
-
where in one of the rooms.
What the Y. W. c. A. really needs
is to have large playground or park
where in the summer they could play
tennis, have exercises, and do every
thing they wanted to. In the winter
it could be frozen for skating grounds.
up at the high school a few weeks
ago a picture was shown of girls
h..fx Of a
the time, building up their strength.
First of all they were examined to
see what they nedede to build up and
then they were advised how" Miss
Stone concluded her paper by writ
ing 'If money is not given to our
Y. w. C. A. you will see more girls
walking the streets, more girls not
having anything to do and having no
place to go. Girls from out of the
city will be looking for some place
to go and rest or, needing help, will
not know where to go. Therefore,
when people come after money from
you, do not turn them down. Give as
much as you can, so that the Y w.
C. A. can be kept home-like for the
girls
And to show that the boys entertain
a spirit of helpfulness, William Paffs
paper in English III follows:
Lets all join hands and help the
girls!
"Have you heard of the campaign
which was started this week? 1t is
to help the girls obtain pleasant
place to spend their idle moments in
clean and wholesome sport and en-
joyment.
Easily Answered
"You ask Why should we be called
on particularly to help the girls@ Stop
to consider for a moment. The men
have their clubs; the women, their
card clubs and societies;
the boys, their Y. M. G. A. and Scout
troops; but the girls, until the APP
pearance of the Y. w. c. A., could
boast only two campfire organizations
in Wausau.
"Since the appearance of the Y. w.
G. A., few girls have been able to en-
joy dancing, reading, hiking, camp
ing and general good time. How
ever, because of meager funds, these

sion. One day when he was in a
deep sea of gloom he walked into the
drug store without saying a word. Mr..

a fash and wrote it in less than half
an hour. He handed the words to
Webster and two friends that had

in ten minutes the four men were sing

were singing the song. With tears in
his eyes, he said Gentlemen, that
hymn is immortal. In two weeks the
children were singing it in the streets.
You will be pleased to learn that

For You, were written by woman
claimed for Wisconsin, Carrie Jacobs
Bond 1t is also fitting at this time
to mention the new state song written
by Elizabeth Mott of Neenah.
Others to Discuss
"There remains to discuss the litera-
ry writer's, the story tellers, the poets
and essayists of Wisconsin. Among
these writer's first place is usually ac-
corded Hamlin Garland, whose stories
give one a truer picture of pioneer
life in Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and
Dakota than any other novels written.
His writings show much study, an evil
dent effort to portray only what is
tr..1a to 70 md in mir
ing days, and the picture is one of
which we may be proud. 1t is life just
as it was endured and enjoyed by our
own Wausau pioneers whose numbers
today are dwindling away. The long
struggle he made to become a writer
and how he came to write on western
life as he aud his family understood
it, is wildly told in his recent vol
ume The Son of the Middle Border.
He owes his style to the influence
of Edward Everett Hale, Oliver Wendell
Holmes, William Dean Howells, Edwin
Booth and Moses True Brown, group
of men with whom he was associated
while studying at Boston in his early
manhood.
"In reading Hamlin Garland's pio-
neer stories, one is reminded of that
great Norwegian story of Knut Ham
sun, The Growth of the Soil, an epic
of man as pioneer, seen through con-
tinental eyes. You have feeling in
reading Garland's stories that he is
faithfully depicting farm life, school
and church life, political activity,
sports and games, the bitter fight
against the soil and the forests, the
inevitable hardShinS and heartacheS
that were the daily portion of the
hardy pioneer. Through it all runs
that leaven of Puritanism that thus
far has saved our land from the pessi-
mism and sensuality which mark The
Growth of the Soil. Puritanism held
that God alone rules the world, that
the individual is saved and can only
become what God intended through
freedom, a free conscience, free
press, free speech and free schools.

Some wise gink has hired big
loft room in a building down by the
stock yards. He puts a big stove
in the center of the room and then
marks off spaces on the floor with
chalk. For a nickle you can rent
one of these spaces and flop (sleep)
on 1t for a night. We got wise to
this joint and sticks there for three
nights. We would have stayed

Cumberland, Md. That was another

We drifts out of Cumberland last
Monday evening and arrives here
in the cold grey dusk of the next
morning. Just outside Union Sta

and asks us IL we wanted to see
Shorty. 1t kind Of puzzled us at
first and then Slim guessed that
Shorty must be connected with
Foch's staff. He tells the colored
gent to lead us to him. He does.
He takes us up dark alley and
then produces a bottle Of something
he calls whiskey and wants two dol
lars and a half. Slim knocks him
down, grabs the bottle and we runs.
We stops in a park to take a drink
and that is the first time I ever

Professor says that it's only proper
that we should get a front first.
We were getting mighty hungry
