Only Facts Known Of
Saint Patrick Are
His Life and Works

Patrick, the patron saint Of Ireland,
has been q prominent figure In story
and legend for many centuries Some
have maintained that his existence has
always been a myth. while others have
held that the accounts that are asso-
ciated With the name have a basis In
facE Those who stnnehiy support the
theory that such a mai has lived dis
agree as to his birthplace and nation
alify. One authority states with a
RhoE Of certainty that ST. Patrick was
born near Dumbarton, On the Clyde.
IN Britain Another states that the
saint first saw the light Of day In
France No precise locality Is named.
II was not until 1882 that many
points concerning the man and bis
works could be settled with any de-
gree Of 6naIffy, and even yet many
phases are az much discussed as ever.
At that time q student deiyfng among
the mnsfy manuscripts Of many g for
gotten writer, found a parchment in
the Royal library Of Brussels, on which
was written an account Of the life Of
81. Patrick, missionary to Ireland IN
the Fifth century This manuscript.
the Book Of Armagh, as II Is called,
was written In the Ninth century and
was copied from sti1 older writings
that are very probably lost Among
other interesting items, the Book Of
Armagh contains q copy Of the "Con,
fesgsons Of st. Patrick" A partial
picture Of the man may be obtained
from the opening paragraph.
81 Patrick, q sinner, the modest and
least Of all the faithful, and con-
temptfbie to very many, had for my
father, Caipornius, q deacon, the son
q Potitius, a priest, who lived Ia Ban
maven Taberniae, for he had a small
country house close By, where I was
taken captive when / was nearly six
teen years Of age I knew not the
true God, and / was brought captive
to Ireland, with many thousand men,
as we deserved, for we had forsaken
God, ana had not kept His command
ments, and were disobedient to our
priests, who admoniShed us for our
salvation
During the first centuries Of the Chris
tian era Ireland was a powerful ma
tion, divided into four Kingdoms. At
that time II was the practice Of the
irish to raid the coast towns Of Britain
and France and return with captiyes
whom they sold Into slavery. The fn-
ture st. Patrick was caught In such q
raid and taken to Ireland, where he
was sold to a farmer, who compelled
him to look after his cattle. No n
knows precisely how long he remained
In slavery, but in his confessions he
states that be spent nearly all Of his
time In prayer. Finally he escaped
and made his way to the coast, where
he found a ship about to sail for
Britain. He was taken aboard and At
last reached the home Of relatives

That Prehistoric Mamnoths Died
Of Natural Causes.

Minneapolis, MINI. Mamfnoths
and msstOdons, numbering thousands.
which once rOamed the western plains
Of America, penetrating to Alaska
and as far east az New York, died
under the blight Of some mysterious
power Of nature, something that the
science ~ man has not yet been able
10 discover, according to Prof. Gin
ton r.. staufer, geologIst at the Uni
versfty Of Minnesota.
Not only the elephants Of North
America. but the horse and the fierce
saber-toOfhed tiger, hts early contem-
poraries, died and vanished In a way
that has not been explained.
1nree natural assumptions, that
they died because Of climatic changes;
that their proper food vanished, or
that man slew them must al be aban-
doned, Doctor staufTer declares.
AT least some Of these creatures
lived into post-glaciaI times when the
climate was much what It ID now, and
all could stand temperatures even
colder than those Of the modern age"
says Doctor stauffer. In the stomach
Of a mammoth found frozen In ST.
IBERIA, where he had died, was a meal
Of vegetation such as still grows. He
was the same type Of animal that
lived In North America.
Primitive man lived when these
creatures did, but with his small num-
bers and crude weapons, he stood as
much In danger Of them as they did
Of him. He did not slaughter them
as his Successors did the bison.
-The only modern parallel for such
a disappearance In North America ID
that Of the passenger pigeons. Man
slaughtered these by the million, but
1t has never been established that this
carnage alone caused their final ex-
tinckion.v
Doctor Stauner incIines to the be-
lief that a p~sstiIence caused the dis
appearance Of the mammoth. tiger and
horse. although he sees no reason why
nA should have succumbed to the same
ldseeaes. nor does he think they all

man, Mr. Loree is credited with eX-
ecuting a play, reminiscent of the
days of this great railroad builder,
in the east. where he has sponsored
a plan for a fifth trunk line in OPP
position to the "four-power" group
ing proposed by the New York Cen
trail. Pennsylvania, Baltimore &
Ohio and Nickel Plate systems. Fur
thermore, the president of the Della
ware & Hudson recently obtained q
lease of the Buffalo, Rochester &
Pittsburgh Railway, a small but
prosperous soft coal carrier, highly
important to any plan of regrouping
the eastern railroads. The road
originally had been allotted to the
New York Central under the "big
four" proposals outlined to the In
terState Commerce Commission.
Mr.. Loree's quiet and unexpected
acquisition of the line, Wall Street
agreed had circumvented the 'rbig
four" consolidation scheme. The
Wabash Railway, controlled largely
by the same banking interests, it
was believed would be available to
the Delaware & Hudson as a route
to Chicago and could be tied up cas-
lily with the Buffalo. Rochester &
Pittsburgh at Buffalo.
Only the acquisition of some such
road as the Lackawana or Lehigh
Valley, to provide the double func-
ton of connecting the Delaware e.
Hudson with its new leased line and
serving as an entry to the Port of
New York, would be needed to round

would establish a network of lines,
linking Montreal. Buffalo, New York,
Pittsburgh, Detroit and Chicago.
The Lehigh Valley. Wall Street be-
lieves, is already virtually controlled
by the New York Central and event.
ually will be included in that system.
There is a possibility, however, that
the Lackawanna, on which the Van
SweringenS and the Pennsylvania
covetous eyes, may go to the highest
bidder. and if any contest for con-
troll develops, Mr.. Loree is certain to
be in the fight.
Whether or not the Delaware &
Hudson executive is successful in
carrying out his conception for a
NTH trunk line. he will command a
favorable bargaining position. If the
Delaware & Hudson fails to become
the nucleus of greater railroad, it
Will at least be fitted into a "big
four" grouping only on its own terms.
In the southwest, the Kansas City
Southern has obtained a strong foot
mold and perhaps working control of
the Missouri Kansas Texas Railroad
much larger system. No direct
negotiations for a merger have yet
been preached, but when the time
comes for linking up the small
southwestern lines, Mr.. Loree and
his associates, with two railroads
under their control. probably will be
able to dictate the terms and layout
of the merger, which is expected to
embrace the st. Louis-San Francis

Notwithstanding the conjectural
elements surrounding the ultimate
development of the two systems,
Wall Streets impagination has not
been slow to grasp the possibilities
of sympathetic traffic relations which
might be effected between a Loree
railroad in the southwest and a fifth
eastern trunk line, which through the
Wabash. would extend to st. Louis.
Associates of Mr.. Loree recall that
it was only a short time ago that he
was violently opposing what he
termed "grandiose consolidation"
In his merger plans they insist that
he will remain consistent to this
principle, and attempt to build new
systems as compactly as possible.
