DEATH REVEALS SOLDIER
O'BRIEN WAS A GIRL

Mary O'Brien, still in her teens, quit
her class in school, cut off her hair, put
on mems attire and ran off to join The
| Republican foces when "the Irish Re
public" came into being.
1t was only when she was wounded
that her sex was discovered. She
couldn't shoulder rifle again but they
let her stay as nurse.
The "Black and Tans" tho were on
her trail. She fled to America and
Philadelphia, to her uncle's house. Still
thirsting for adventure, she determin-
ed to be a movie actress, put on boys
clothes and started for Hollywood by
riding the blind baggage. 1t was mid
winter and when the train pulled in
to. Cleveland yards she was nearly
frozen. She decided to wait until the
weather grew warmer before resum-
ing he1 journey and had no trouble in
landing a job at the Huron Road hos
pital. But the cold she caught on the
"blinds" had done its work. After 3
days illness she died of pneumonia.
To the last she refused to tell the
names of any relatives. So they bur
led her in Potter's field.
BY chance her uncle, George Moran,
learned Of her death, had the body ex-
humed and sent to Philadelphia. There

Tories Are Optimistic.
Considerable luminosity was shown
by voters appearing early at the
polls. AS precautionary measure
all police leaves have been can
celIed for the day.
Posters were torn down in mild
persistence of the spirit which has
broken out in riots at campaign
meetings every day Of the last two
weeks.
In last minute predictions tho
Tories were optimistic, claiming
they would win 81 seats, the La.

The Liberals predicted 291 Liberal,

The fate of the first British La.

The election was called for by
the Labor party on October Q.

OF charges of sedition against John

vania-
While our country is first of
all interested in, its domestic af-
fairs, it realizes that its foreign
relations are also of great inn
portance. In that field it pursues
the principle first of all Of in
dependence, then of peace, then
of service. It was mainly from
desire to be independent of pos
sible foreign interference that the
Monroe Doctrine was adopted.
It has no dynasty to maintain,
no imperialistic policy, but only
the welfare Of the people to con.
slider. Service comes from the
natural instinct of religious and
humane people seeking to be true
to themselves by meeting these
obligations which flow from the
brotherhood of man.
Another Example.
Another example of the policy
Of independence has been the care
full avoidance Of political alliances.
We have sought to treat all ma
tons on the plane Of equality,
and require all nations by so doing
to maintain the open door. We
have neither sought for friends to
reward nor enemies to punish. We
act when our own interests are
involved, in accordance with our
own judgment, for the protection
of our own people.
For these reasons we have not
become a member of the League
Of Nations, though we hope it
may be helpful to those who are
In 1t. We seek independence with.
out indifference and cooperation
without entanglements. We pro-
pose to maintain within ourselves
complete jurisdiction over our own
internal and domestic affairs. We
cannot submit to the discussion or
determination of others what laws
we shall make In settling our own
affairs, what persons we shall adj
init, what persons we shall exclude.
We must at all times be the
sovereigns of our own territory and
the complete masters of our own
destiny.
Settled by Treaties.
The present Administration has
made a separate peace with the
Central powers. 1t has settles.
with Columbia. It has negotiated
treaty with Turkey. 1t has come
to an amicable agreement with
Mexico for the adjustment of mu.
tual claims and the resumption of
friendly relations. 1t has helped to
adjust differences between Latin
American Republics and secured
the most satisfactory relations be-
tween our Government and all of
South America that have existed
for many years.
