IRISH LEADER PLEADS
FOR BOUNDARY UNITY
Devlin Declares National Problems
Transcend Sectional Dispute
Now Dividing Nation.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
DUNDALk, County Louth, Ireland,
August 16-AddresSing a Nationalist
meeting here yesterday, Joseph Dew
lin said the protests constantly made
against the attempt to force Ulster
to consent to surrender of territory
were rather ridiculous, inasmuch as
1t was by force that $4,000 Catholics
and Nationalists were robbed of their
right to be citizens of a self-governed
Ireland.
Let us have done with force" ex-
horted the Nationalist leader. Let
us approach the problem in the spirit
of Irishmen who, although failing to
see eye to eye with each other, never
theless are sincerely anxious for the
prosperity of Ireland.
While differences are dividing
them they are losing sight of the
great needs of the nation. Ireland
is too small for fantastic boundary
makers. The bonds which are draw
ing North and South together will
prove too strong for bisots and re-
actionaries'
He declared he would not be sur
prised if demand for a cessation of
feuds and reunion of all sections of
1rishmen eventually came from the

ADDRESS by Lieut.. Col. Fred B. Ryons,
secretary of the Reserve officers As

1T fs probable that the economic
advantages of our defense test, which
Is to take place September IL. have
not been considered by a great many

purchase of supplies for any great
organization the first step is to as
certain the requirements. In all of
the wars in which our country has
participated no adequate estimate as
to necessary requirements has been
available at the commencement, Of

important element is being thorough

THE finance department Is compi-

have ready an estimate as to the
amount of money which will be re-

These requirements are further sub
divided so that the Quartermaster
Corps will be informed as to the re-
auirements for each specific item
which goes into the equipment of an
army.
Errors in PnfckAainE.
You can readily visualize the i'm
portance of this work. during the

criticism upon the fact that much
more harness was purchased than

tremendous waste was caused oy the
fact that no figures were available
to direct the purchase.
The plans which are now being
developed Will obviate all of this un-

when we will be called upon to mobi-

Iconoclasts of 726 A. D.
From the Kansas City Times.

The Iconoclasts lhmage breakers)
were a party Of rengious enthusiasts
who in 726 A. D., at the instigation of
the Byzantine emperor. Leo Isanrus,
destroyed the images, pictures,
statues and other emblems in the
churches of Constantinople.
This movement spread to Italy, but
was stoutly resisted by the Latin
church and the people generally.
Leo, although condemned by the
council at Rome, under Pope Gregory
III, persevered in his opposition to
the use of images, and this policy
was continued by his successor,
Constantine, surnamed Capronymus.
The council of Constantinople, held
in 754, forbade the use of all images,
except that Of Christ in the euchar-
ist; but this decision was revoked at
the council of Nicaca in 1877, during
the reign of Irene, widow of Leo.
Subsequent emperors, however, re-
turned to the policy of iconoclasm,
which finally led to the separation of
the eastern and western churches.
The eastern church at the present
day permits the use of pictures, but
rejects all sculptured or craven
images Of sacred objects.
