leader one hundred dollars in appre-
citation. The invitation to the Arion
coming rs years after the dedica-
ton of the Cemetery, was prompted
by memories of the Arion singers
appearance when Lincoln made the
place and the day immortal by his
great address.
On November 2, 1941, the Arion
again received an invitation from
Gettysburg Camp No. liz, Sons of
Union Veterans to sing at their
Lincoln Gettysburg Address Ami
versary Exercises in the National
Cemetery. The invitation was
gladly accepted. The Arion sang
three numbers.
Honoring the tradition of past
events, the Arion looks forward
with confidence to the future.
Ninety years of service in song and
Americanism, is an achievement
worthy of respect and support.

De Valera's Protest
About A.E.F. in Ireland
Report from Dublin about Note
to Washington

From Hugh Curran, a news cor
respondent in Dublin, has come a
report about the tenor of an Irish
diplomatic note recently handed to
Under Secretary Welles of our
State Department by Minister Ro-
bert Brennan, the Irish envoy here.
The correspondent cabled::
The comments of United States
newspapers on the document mis-
interpret the Irish attitude, over
looking the fundamental governing
factor, that all Irish territory is
part Of the Irish nation and that
northern Ireland (Ulster) was
separated against the will of an
Overwhelming majority of the
population.
A parallel case cited here is, if
Abraham Lincoln had failed and

nounced"

At his latest press conference in
the White House, retorting to a
suggestion that the United Ma
tons might lose the war, Presi-
dent Roosevelt said emphatically
this was unthinkable, since there
was to be no break through by
our enemies.
On January 18th, six weeks after
the japanese surprise attack on
Pearl Harbor, so it was lately re-
ported officially, a japanese sub
marine broke through the Pearl
Harbor defense patrol and sank
an American vessel in the harbor.
Now it is reported from the
Far East that the japanese have
broken through the British defenses
of Singapore and are occupying
hat strongly fortified island.
From the Philippines army order
100 reported that the japanese
forces on Bataan peninsula broke
through several places in General
Macarthur defense lines, basing on
Corregidor Island.

Death of George A. Schreiner

George Abel Schreiner, who died
at Daytona Beach, Fla, January
Fl, was a well-known correspondent
and writer, who had many friends
in Washington and elsewhere, He
came to the United States from the
Boer republics, in whose armed
forces during the South African
war he fought against the British
to the end. He was a trained SOL
der and held the commission of a
captain of field artillery under Gen
eral Joubert.
A cousin of Olive Schreiner,
authoress of the well-known novel
The Story Of an African Farm,
he was himself the author of sew
eral books, among them "'The Iron
Ration translated into French)
and The Craft Sinister, (trans-
lated into Germany, in which he
exposed the diplomatic intrigues of
European statesmen.
Born IN AlSace-Lorra1ne, Schrel-
ner spoke French, German and
Dutch. He learned to write Eng
fish after his arrival in the United
States by copying a complete novel
of Sir Walter Scott several times.
His own books were based on his
experience as an Associated Press
correspondent in Mexico and with
the Central Powers armies in the
first World War. In that capacity
he vas present at the British
French bombardment of Gallipoli
in 1915. His dispatches from there
and elsewhere in Europe showed a
remarkable understanding of the
true meaning of the events he wit
messed.
Schreiner's newspaper experience
covered a wide field, including an
editorship in San Antonio, Texas,
and war correspondence from Chi
huahua with the armies of Caranza

The Baltimore Arion
Sang at Gettysburg
A Highlight in a German Singing
Society's History

A proud tradition of the Arion
Gesangverein of Baltimore, one Of
the Oldest singing societies in our
country, connects that society with
one of the outstanding events in
American history, the dedication Of
the National Cemetery at Gettys-
burg by President Abraham Lin
coin on November 19, 1868.
AT the dedication of the National
Cemetery at Gettysburg, when Pre-
sident Lincoln made his immortal
address, IN anthem was sung by
singers of the Arion Singing So
ciety of Baltimore.
DR.. c. B. Stouffer, a member,
knew that a flag had been placed
in the First Presbyterian Church of
Gettysburg, with an inscription that
it had been used as a baton by Mr..
Wilson G.. Horner in directing the
"Arion." This flag later came into
his possession. At the last Gettys-
burg Reunion he presented it to
Horner's descendant, Mrs. Hugh
McIlhenny. 1t is now her property.
The flag with the inscription was a
part of the historical exhibit Of
Pennsylvania in its State House at
the Worlds Fair in New York. A
little card placed under the glass
with the flag read:
This Flag Was Used By
Mr.. Wilson G. Horner
In Directing The Arion Musical ASH
OF Baltimore
Which Sang At The Dedication OF The
Gettysburg National Cemetery
Thursday, November 10, 1868
The well preserved flag is Of silk,

of a fve-pointed star with four
larger stars in the corners.

gram of the dedication ceremonies F.:

Loss of American Prestige
Apprehended

Such recognition altogether con-
tradicts the Irish understanding of
the American ideals in the present
war and informed circles apprehend
a loss of American prestige there
by.
The De Valera protest must be
read in relation to the facts exist
ing here, coupled with the desire
to maintain cordial relationships
between Ireland and America.
The coming to Irish soil of the
troops of another country, nc
matter how highly it is regarded,
does not make for cordially, par
ticularly without previous consent.
Washington Journal., 1942-02-13

the Southern States had been oc-
cupied by an outside government,
would the American people have
accepted the fat accompli? This
is the essence of the Irish position.
Ireland's Partition Resented
While there is no hostility to-
ward America. there is deep anx-
iety lest the advent of the United
States troops entangle America in
the most complicated territorial dis
prlte in Europe, involving its recog-
milton of what the Irish throughout
the world regard as a crime of
partition.

postal patrons should mail their
gifts by December / if they wish
to insure that their friends will
not be disappointed at Christ
