IRELAND M0URNS PR|MATE'S DEATH
Armagh Is City of Gloom as
 Funeral Is Held

Armagh, Ireland, Oct. 2S IP -- Armagh today was a city of sorrow and gloom. Rain fell heavily from the early morning hours but the streets were crowded with people for Cardinal O'Donnell's funeral which has drawn mourncrs from places as wide about as Chicago and West Australia.
 From the latter came Rt. Rcv. Patrick Joseph Clune. Archbishop ot Perth. Australia, while Chicago was represented by it's municipal commissioner headed by Michael j. Flaherty, now in Ireland. President CosSravc also was represented.
 Among the mourners were seven Irish bishops who came from Rome. 14 archbishops and bishops and hundreds of priests.
 Every business place and dwelling in Armagh, which is Ireland's cc- clesiastical capital, was shuttcred or had its blinds drawn.
 Cardinal O'Donnell died last week at his summer residence at Carling- ford after several weeks illness from double pneumonia. He was nrimate Of Ireland.

SUBWAY SLEEPER
 INTERESTS JUDGE
Phenomenal Thrift Commended
 Rather Than Questioned

New York, Oct. 2S P-A l9- year-old youth who worked two jobs d day and one on Sunday and who slept in subway stations to save the price of lodgings today was aided by an investigation of the chief city magistrate and a lawyer furnished by anonymous influential friends in his fight to escape a Workhousc sell tenCe imposed after he was arrested on charge of disorderly conduct for sleeping on a subway bench.
 A plea before the court of special sessions today was set by Attorney | T. A. Eager as the first move fin the fight for the release of James Moore, l9, of Lawrence. Mass, after Chief Magistrate McAdoo announced he had been told the boy would be released in custody of counsel pend ing review of his case.
 After receiving the report of q probation officer whom he had or dcrod to investigate the case, Chief Magistrate McAdoo said the boy was of 'questionahle mentality" al though of 'unusual and phenomenal thrift"
 Attorney Eager denied the boy was of Questionable montalty," and explained that no one could be more sane than this lad" Eager said he would ask for certificate of doubt so that the hoy could be re leased on bail. Eager asserted hc had been retained by public spirited citizens who had become interested in the case.
 At the time of his arraignment Moore said he had been working as a cement mixer during the week and q golf caddy on Sunday H. earned his meals, he asserted, hy washing dishes in restaurants. and further saved money by getting his hair cut at q barbcr's college.

THOMPSON LOOKS
 TO WHITE HOUSE
Press Sees Ambition in Mayors
 Heroic Crusade"

Chicago, Oct, cs.-CP)-Mayor William Hale Thompson leaned his lance in the corner and took off his armor for rest today as a Hull ap- peared Tn the jousting lists, but U. J Herman, known among his cronies as sport" worked tirelessly on. He read a book.
 The heroic crusade to dethrone King George from the British dragon, or make the lion and the unicorn lie down together (there is come confusion over exactly what inc crusade is for, but there must be T metaphor in 1t somewhere) seemed 10 have reached a momentary calm. Only three press statements were is sued yesterday. and today seemed certain to see the number reduced still more.
 Political observers, taking a turn about the joustng pavilion today and examining the oorpses, detached bits Of armor and miscellaneous debris resulting from the tourney so lar, began to speculate on the re- suits and wonder if 1t was just DOS sihle that somebody had missed a bet.
 For Mayor Thompson, who wears cowboy hat as iauntily as q visorcd helmet and battles gangsters who 'aii to behave according to his lights, with ferocity as vigorous as that he displays toward tho besmirchers of George Washington, is, among other things. a political leader. And he probably has ambitions.
 It has been intimated, from time 70 time. that the mayor might be candidate for the republican presi- ""ntlal nomlnation-perha only in 1lllnols for the sake of holding the state delegation away from former GoVernor Lowden; and then again, P"fhaps on a more pretentious scale.
 And Mayor Thompson. 1t vas not 'd ny the observers. has accomplisl 'n one thing in the last few weeks mat all the other host of candidates nave failed to do: He has kept his name consistently before the public rom one end of the colonies-beg pardon, of the United States of America to the other.
 It was recalled that the mayor re- gently informed the public at large that the republicans must nominate wet If they hope to defeat Al Smith.

dangers and hazards Of old-fashioned
warfare were not great. Efficiency in
killing was not alarming. The result
was that a war was like a junket.
y y X
To-day all Of this is altered. War
is no longer glorious. One thing 1
have noticed as very signiflcant-few
of the heroes Of the late war are will
ing to talk about their triumphs-
many who went to the last war are
even loath to discuss it. This shows
that the utility Of war as means of
achieving glory has changed. The
Civil War was a mark of adornment
ever after for its participants. But
not so with the late struggle. People
seem to want to forget all about it.
And war today offers very little OPP
for personal glory like old
fashioned war did.
present day war is collective
triumph. Wars of yesterday used to
be shot through with individual ex-
ploits. Today modern science has put
the man with the leakiest heart on an
equal footing with any hercules in
War has grown impersonal
and hence has lost its power to con-
fer individual glory on participants.
Today generals are behind the lines
using telephones, pushing buttons,
pulling switches. The Black Prince
fought in the front line-in fact, led
the charge. The machine-like char
acter of modern war has deprived 1t
Of it's old personal feats and achieve
ments. Achievements in modern war
fare are conferred on boards of STRAIT
egg, corps and brigades. 1t is no
longer zestful to go to war. One is
lost in the shuttle, endures incredible
and runs great risk Of being
killed.
War is no longer play. 1t Is mass
War today is tedious in the
extreme. In medieval times warriors
had times to rest. War was intermit-
tent. The Truce of God gave every
body three days in the week to rest
up from their exertions. But today
war is a yearly affair with no letting
up. There Is no rest about modern
war. It becomes an ordeal Of the most
nature. It Is hardship
without an atom OF zest
In it. Napoleon could fight three days
at Austerlitz and then his soldiers got
a rest. Today one battle Is followed
on the very next day by sniping trench
warfare. There Is no let-up.
WAR today Is no longer job for
soldiers. 1t has becomV
the Job of youth. People formerly
went to war for fun. Today they are
and it is youth-not ma.

known or generally believed. Many
employers have experimental with il
and pronounced II n success, while
many thousands OF employees have
been greatly benefited through its
operation and use.
1t has been charged by some In
fluential manufacturers that the
shorter work-week will tend to In
crease the cost of manufactured ar
ticles and that such increased cost
will burden the consuming public and
greatly handicap American industries
In foreign markets. Labor denies
this charge and In reply asserts ia

can be brought about without addlnS
to this cost of manufactured con-
modities.
Reduced Costs Seen.
Under the stimulating influence Of
the economic and social benefits re
sulting from the establishment Of the
shorter work-week management, the
workers will develop plans AMI
methods which will result in expand
ing productivity so that the cost of
manufactured articles will be reduced
instead of increased. The field Of In
austrian efnclency and productivity
has not been fully explored or it's limi
tations clearly defined. Thus far We
have not reached the limit OF Amer

In rejecting over these tremendous

power has enabled the workers to
raise their standard of efficiency ana
productivity until America has estab-

throughout all the nations OF the
world. 1t Is clearly evident that cleo
trio power will be utilized and applied
In an ever-increasing way in all lines
of industry. AS the amount OF cleo

In industry is increased, in like pro

since the earliest beginnings. Wars
have been getting more and more ter
rible, instead of waning. Why do you
think, with this progress in wars and
war technique, that war will be cut
short so suddenly? If war were really
dying, I should expect to see wars
getting smaller and smaller and finally
vanishing-not disappearing suddenly
after the greatest triumph Mars has
enjoyed since the dawn of civiliza-
ton" / said.
Recall" said DR.. Robinson, that
there have been other social institu-
tions that have been Just as deeply
rooted in the history of mankind as
the institution of war which, never
theless, have been destroyed in a very
short time. Judging from such Illus
trations, I see no reason why war
cannot be destroyed just as quickly.
I refer to the institutions Of slavery,
witchcraft and religious persecution.
Slavery lasted perhaps as long as
war-was with the human race from
it's earliest history-and yet it disap-
peared in three decades when the con-
ditions for its perpetuation became I'M
favorable. The same fate befell witch
craft, which during the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries took the lives
of from 100000 to 1000, 900 people. In
the same way religious persecution
persisted"
"You say when the conditions be-
came unfavorable for the perpetuation
Of these institutions. Do you mean
that conditions today are unfavorable
for the possible continuance of war?
If so, how" I queried.
well, for instance, witchcraft
fiourished because people thought
that witches caused sickness. When
it was found out that bacteria caused
sickness, witchcraft could not be re-
vived. In the same way, the old basis
Of war has disappeared. We today
have war as an old name for a new
thing. War today is entirely different
from what it used to be. 1t serves en-
tirely different purposes and those
purposes today are entirely calami-
tous.
For instance, war used to be zest-
full, glorious. a means for achieving a
reputation. an agency for amusement
comparatively undestructive. In other
words, 1t used to be used to crafty
the desires Of man. War used to be
on the plane with modern foot ball
games. It was an outlet for vitality,
for the desire to achieve and get rec
ognition. Wars were comparatively
isolated and they We're fought by
hardened warriors-professio SOL
diers with liking for fighting. The
