Fighting, Digging, Praying" Is the caption of a feature story fin the current issue of the Irish Herald Leader. official paper of the Irish Veterans of the United States. The author is none other than Major Thomas J. Bannigan, manager the United States Vet erans' hospital at Newington.
 A year ago Major Bannigan gave St. Patrick's day address before the Irish American club of Waterbury. It evoked statewide comment for its el0quence as well as for its historical quality. His latest literary effort also indicates the majors versatility and his deep knowledge of Irish history, Irish heroes and Irsih spirit. The article reads as follows:
 Living examples are better than descriptive words and, my friends, we have had demonstrated here living examples of Irish patriot. ism. This patriotic demonstra- ton by the Irish people of this fair New England and its neigh bors, is demonstration of emphasis; of recollection; of prophecy. The patriotism of the Irish throughout the United States, is a self-evident proposition. It needs no demonstration: no sub- stantiating evidence; no mathe- lnatical proof. It is written on ecery page of this country's his- tory, and no mans hand can take 1t out.
 Irish Patriotism
 Irish patriotism ploughs the At lantic with Columbus, and with Balboa 1t looks upon the Pacific from the peak of Darien. With Ericson, 1t skirts the shores of Vineland and with Sebastian Cabot, sees the snows of Labrador. With DeCoto and Marquette, 1t discovers the Mississippi; with Champlain, 1t finds the lake that bears his name; with Cartier, 1t sails the picturesque St. Lawrence; and with Ponce De Leon 1t seeks the fountain 0: everlasting youth. With its early missionaries, 1t blazes the trails of our primeval forests, the Cross of Christ in one hand, and the banner of civiliza- ton in the other. With Verendye, 1t first scales the Rocky Noun tains, with Menendez 1t founds St. Augustine, and with Onate starts old Santa Fe upon it's way. It drew the first map of the great lakes, and writes the first de- scription of Niagara Falls. With

 God and Country"
 And as 1t was in the beginning so 1t is now, and ever will be.
 God and Country" was the pillar of cloud y day; the pillar of fire by night, of the early Irish Cath olics and Protestants alike of this country; and God and Country, Faith and Flag" is the precept and law of them today.
 Their patriotism began in 1492, and 1t will last.
 "Wil'st the earth bears a plant And the sea rolls wave"
 We, the Irish, believe that we can live for no better purpose, we can die for no better purpose, than the ashes of our fathers and the altars of our God" We, the Irish, believe that if we sink to rest in the calm of peace, or the hurricane of war, with our coun- try's best wishes blast "by fairy hands our knell is Wrung; by forms unseen our dirge is sung" We believe that this country has been a haven of liberty; 8 bull wark of protection; a treasury of opportunity, to our fathers and to us; and believing such, 1t will continue to be to our children and our children's children.
 And, my friends, our patriotism Is no mere lip service. It is prac- tical, as well as ideal; industrial, as well as militaristic; physical, as well as militaristic; physical, as well as vocal. It calls upon man, woman and child alike. It finds illustration in a boy digging pota- toes, in a New England garden, in Civil War times. When asked by a stranger. what his family was doing for the country's cause the boy replied: Well, father is fight ing, and I am digging, and mother is praying"
 "-And Praying"
 Fighting, digging and pray Ing" = that b the stuff real pa- tSiotism l. made of.
