her of his love and his devotion.
He was ardent. He was generous.
How she thrilled over his love Of heR,
so reckless and so wonderful.
: And Johnny chuckled to himself.
For he had typed the telegram blanks
before Ethel had yer left New York
and had addressed them to be de-
livered at the places the timetable
showed were stopping places Of
Ethel's train.
And a dollar to the porter had done
the restl
The porter had brought in the tele-
grams, one by one, at the right mo-
ment, without a mistake.
Johnny wasn't going to let a south-

she was the only one in the world he
really loved.

A captive youth; a slave; a swine

The slave escapes and begins the

the appeal that lies in the story of

Of peace and reconciliation.
1t is not merely an Irish event; It

Proud Record Made
by Irish Soldiers
in the World Wor

If the heart of Ireland was missing
from the great conflict, her fists were
sure there and did double duty.
1t has been said and resaid that you
can't keep an IrIshman out Of a fight,
and we know that In all the wars that
have taken place since Ireland has
been on the map her son have taken
a big part and have often been the
biggest scrappers In the scrap. But
during the past few years-during the
fighting Of the biggest fight of all-it
has been said by many that the Irish
we're doing nothing. And a few went
so far as to say that Ireland was pro-
German and was helping the central
powers.
But, in going behind the scenes and
getting at the true facts, we find that,
although the heart of Ireland was
missing from the great conflict, her
fists were sure there and did double
duty, Mrs. Katherine Edelman asserts,
In the Philadelphia Press. From a
careful pursuance of English, Irish
and American misrepresentation the
statements made by many allied Off
GERS and men returned from the front
from statistics compiled by many Of
from England's own list of regiments
and men In the war also from the
writer's own personal knowledge (be-
ing In Ireland al the outbreak of the
war and seeing thousands of Irish sol
diers marching away to join the con-
fict)-we find the following facts to
be about the true situation:
At the outbreak of the war with
Germany there were thousands of
Irlshmen soldiers in the British army,
and the thin red line Of British heroes
that wonsAuch glory at the beginning
Of the waHsRnd most of whom are now
lying under the soil Of Belgium and
France, numbered among them thou
sands OF Irishmen. In saying this, we
are not trying to take n bit of glory
from those noble British heroes. Their
bravery. was superb, but not greater
than that of their Irish comrades. Ask
any English Tommy and he will tell
you Whit. the Irish Guards, the Royal
Irish, Dublin and Munster Fusi-
liers, the Connaught Rangers and other
Irish regiments did in the wal. The
Irish Guards composed of men Of
splendid ~physiQue) showed exceptional
bravery. In the first years Of the war
the regiments mentioned above were
almost wiped out, but at the signing
of the armistice nearly every regiment
had man-power than at the be-
ginning Of hostilities. And every man
that Joined was a volunteer. Think
of thatl In Dublin alone, since the
outbreak Of the war. between 10000
and $4,000 Irishmen enlisted, and that

Ethel was going south for six weeks
before the wedding-which johnny
had persuaded her to have take place
on the good old Irish saints day.
Ethel had been born In the South.
She had lived her childhood and girl
hood there.
AS the time for her departure
drew near Johnny lost much of his
confidence. She was a firt and at
tractive and she would be admired.
And southern girls were tickle. He
had known that from hearsay and ex-
perience. And with Ethel such a
thing must not happen. He loved her
too devotedly. Without her, life
would be so dull and uninspiring-
now that he had glimpsed what life
with her would be like.
He saw her of at the train. His
worries had somewhat diminished. At
least he had put up a good fight.
