Mothers Day.

Mothers Day will be observed all
over America on Sunday, May 14th, by
special services in the Churches and
Sunday Schools, by wearing white
flower, and by many who are separated
from their mothers by the sending of
letters, kilograms and other remem-
brances for the mothers. tits suggest
ed and hoped by many that this day
which has been so widely observed,
may become known as Parents Day"
in the future. When the splendid ex-
amples of many noble, self-sacrificing
fathers are considered, it seems just
and right that both parents should be
considered as many will do by wearing
two white flowers, one for the mother
and one for the father.

throughout the New England states
yesterday, had subsidized today.
In the metropolitan district, the
storm left a toll of three dead and

six deaths were reported.

ing their kits and equipment and en-
training for Queenstown and Dublin.
enroute to England. reports received
from many quarters Of Ireland de-
clared.
Half dozen huge vans backed In
front of the chief secretary's offices
in Dublin Castle Wednesday after
noon and removed stacks of official
documents and effects, of the secre-
tarial and police departments, thus
beginning the evacuation OF the
castle--the symbol Of Irishmen for
centuries of British control.
Eamonn Devalera informed the
correspondents he believed his party
ignore the Saturday meeting of the
parliament and declared he intended
to continue to fight for independ-
ence; he supposed elections would
be held within six or nine months.
Such elections, added Mr.. DeVal-
era, like the signing of the treaty In
London, would be held under British
threat of renewal of warfare and
therefore he would not accept the
verdict as the uncoerced will OF the
people.
Never, he said, would he take the
oath of allegiance contained in the
treaty. Alluding to the Irish repub-
lican bonds, he declared they would
be redeemed by whatever govern
ment was eventually established and
added that meeting of the leaders
of the Sim Fein party would be held
to consider the general position.
