course, for the Irish people to decide for themselves That they have natural right to be as free as they want to be goes without saying. So had the people of the South yet time has proved that the best interests of both North and South and the freedom of the world served by the suppression of seces- sion in America when the people of the major part of the United States, following the law that, among peoples individuals, self preservation comes first by force of arms compelled the South to remain in the Union
 It is unfortunate, indeed, that at this time some over -zealous Irish-Amercans, with whom Ireland's cause lies close that it sometimes shuts off the wider vision endeavorng to make the Irish ques- tion a political problem in America It is not well for Ireland for that very action their part has tendency to cause thousands in this country to grievance of the Irish people the natural and praiseworthy desire for political independence and freedom
 Whatever course Ireland may decide upon, and she should be permitted to decide without inter ference from without and should decide without asking interference from without, the American peo- pie who owe so much of their growth and genius and strength and so much of the color and zeal and enthusiasm and other pecuarites of their cvi- lization to the infusion of Irish blood will have hearts and good wishes for the sturdy sons of great St Patrick.
 The foregoing is from editorial by John w. Troy in the Empire of 20 years ago. God bless the Irish

MONDAY, MARCH Is

Benefic aspects appear to domin- ate today. The morning hours are fortunate for women and their in- terests. The sway stimulates intel lectual labors. It is fortunate flor educators and for lawmakers. The evening may be time when inn portant news is announced.
 Heart and Home: The morning should offer unusual opportunities to ambitious women. Intellectual contacts and journeys are indicat- ed. There is promising sign for marriage under this configurat Jon. Astrologers emphasize the need sof an increased birthrate among fAm lilies of education and stable char acter. Through the long period of depression, race deterioration has affected large numbers of persons. Patriotism means building up the public health and contributing well bred children to ones country r the SeeTS empIldSlZe.
 Business Affairs: This is not an suspicious date for starting new projects. It is favorable to plan ming and waiting for events soon | to occur in the world of interna- tional banking. Engineering should be pushed, for the stars presage remarkable feats in harbor im- provements and bridge construc- tion. The evening is important for men in high places. Announcement of a government policy of far reaching significance is forecast for this month.
 National Issues: Increase of crime will arouse public apprehen- sion. Responsibility for a reign of lawlessness will be attributed to Federal economies, but astrologers read in the stars causes that arise | in communities which ignore their duty to the citizens who expect good government. Waste and graft in local relief agencies are tc arouse indignation, but few re- forms.
 International Affairs: Pressure tc bring about aid to the Allies ir the European War will be strong as intricate secret pacts involve neutral nations abroad Large loans to Scandinavian countries are prog nosticated. British campaign poli- cies will be unfortunate as changes in the Ministry are proved made quate, in view of the far-flunf difficulties that multiply for the Empire.
 Persons whose birthdate it i, have the augury of year of gair by means of hard work. Happincs ss through family ties is indicated for many. Women may be inclined to seek pleasure which causes heavy expenses. They should avoid costly Inequalities. r ' ss

SUNDAY, MARCH IT

Conflicting aspects appear in the Horoscope today. Under this con- figuration reStiveneSS under direc- tion will be marked Persons in au- thority may be severely criticized Changes in government, military and naval leaders in the United States and Europe are prognosti- cated. Intensive power of Mars is indicated.
 Heart and Home: The Moon in Cancer which governs maternal functions and instincts gives prom ise of intensified interest in the family and it's aspirations, al- though there may be lack of har- mony in the domestic circle. This is a day favorable for release from material limitations and should be fortunate for the church and the clergy. Aged persons are well di- rected by the stars. Their counsel should be sought.
 Business Affairs: Experiments in providing cooperative jects among the unemployed will en- counter obstacles, but when well managed should be successful. Op- position to self-help should be overcome, since the burden of re- lief must become less if the na- tion is to avoid financial collapse. The stars have long warned that banking and established money channels will go through precari- ous experiences as world finan- cial systems change.
 National Issues: Despite the un- covering of widespread espionage in the United States, secrets will be transmitted to foreign countries. Inventions affecting communica- ton processes will be of amazing character In coming months mir acles will be performed by the aid of novel mechanisms never hither- to used Sabotage now will be prev alent in American manufacturing plants where secret foreign spy methods will be introduced.
 International Affairs: Island pos sessions will assume importance and will cause anxiety in Wash ington as enemy naval operations continue to be disastrous. There is a sign warning that the United States will require two strong na- vies. The seers seem to foreSee the need of small vessels in great num- bers. Diplomats will undergo su- preme tests in which American en- voys will prove their ability

IRELAND'S DAY

Tomorrow is St. Patricks Day, so named in honor of the saintly priest whose zeal and wisdom and patience and the greatness of whose devotion and faith freed Ireland from organism and laid the foundation for the fine Christian civilization that has been developed in that country The Irish have however, added to the significance attaching to the holiday originally dedicated to this great apostle of the religion of the Nazarene until it has become known and celebrated Irelands great holiday and now it stands for all that the Irish and Ireland are and hope to become. Someday, per haps Ireland will have her Fourth of July or Seven- teenth of May which to commemorate Irish political freedom and then, perhaps St. Patricks Day may again become of a religious occasion than National holiday, day for renewed sanctifi- cation and thanksgiving Until that time, however it is Ireland's day, National as well as religious
 On St Patrick's Day people everywhere think of Ireland and o think of Ireland is to think of her long struggle for home rule and political freedom At the present time and perhaps it will continue to be so in the future this struggle for home rule has become battle for complete National indepen- dence the establishment of a separate Nation. Ii Ireland persists in that frame of mind will surely come in the course of time-when through a League of Nations or some other way the peace of the world is reasonably assured when peace ceases to be an armed truce when Nations no longer have to live so closely to the old rule that "sefpreserva tion is the first law" Until that day comes, of course Great Britain would as Lloyd George said fight to the last before she would concede the com plete independence of Ireland. Great Britain will not the risk of international alliance against her with an indepedent Leland at her back door to become all ally of a hostile combination if she help 1t.

Rumania's New Danger
(NeW York Times)

tNeW 4Ork llIneSJ
 Rumania lives dangerously from crisis to the next, and each time the choice before her ap- pears more terrifying Authoritative quarters in neighboring Belgrade now announce that Germany has offered to guarantee RumaniaS frontiers in re- turn for virtual monopoly Rumanian oil and foreign trade The precious oil has not been reach ing Germany in sufficient quantities this winter the game of peaceful" intimidation has not been pro- ducng results. This time the implication seems to be "let us guarantee you-or else"
 In some ways such German guarantee might look tempting to King Carol, whose Government awaits next weeks visit of Dr. Karl Clodius, the chief German economic negotiator Germany at least has overwhelming force near at hand to en- force territorial guarantee the Allied troops, on the other hand are so far away in Syria and Turkey that they might not arrive in time in case Of a German invasion. At first sight frontier pledge, backed by the German Army, might relieve King Carols mind of such troublesome problems as Hun would assure market for Rumanian raw materials.
 But if experience is any guide, the first result CT German guarantee would be to make Rumania an economic dependency of the Reich. Would that be the end of the story? What would prevent Germany from revising" such a guarantee six months from now? Once German techncians and German spies had swarmed upon a guaranteed Rumania, 1t would need only a slight pretext for Germany to supple ment them with German troops. The German record is burned on King Carols mind and on that of his people They will probably conclude that Rumanias safest course is continuance of her present tight rope walking selling oil to both belligerents and re- sisting too deep an involvement with either
