Front child- hood I " Cot the Irish-Americad slantk on Enßland and itä Im- ceriahstic fipirit, and fts I trrew up I carried the same attitude to the judging pf all othtr coun- tnes. Very early I saw the sordid meanness of Frenchttien, as clearly as the selfish wiliness of the ltahans, or the pedantry and sentimentality ö the Ger- mansj or the shittless ideaham ot thi $lav. but I came to recard the (jefmart on the whole as the ttronßest taan in Europe, the feureSt ßuide id the future, and began to love the Rüssian be- cause ht had so müch love in htm for others, All the tohile at the bottom of rny heart I cherished the superstition that the American ivas the pick of the bunch,' for he ac'ded a love of equality and justice to the Enjjlish strenßth, and a Geman love of abstract truth of original thought and frank Speech to the conven tional Anglo-Saxon ideal, and throiigli all like a golden strand in the weaving went the Irish sympathy with revolt and Keltic understanding of the daemonic in man. In fact I made an ideal of the American as we are all apt to do with our own people. I earned tlie hatred of th; English in the Venezuelan dis pute by declaring that Dick Ulney would make my Lord öf Salisbury back down and eat dirt and when thd crisia came and English papers preached war rather than disgräced Submis sion, I chortled in "The Saturday Review" warning Grcat Britai that in a fight vith these States she would pay for all her crimes against humanity and disappear from among the great Nation? falling to her true place as an other Holland. America, I cried, could whip the world in arms; she will yet be the Con science of the free Peoples - and the Avenger of secular: in justice. At the beginning of the Great War I came to America bopinif. praying that neither sids might win ä decisive victory but pre dicti'ng that in the drawn battle the Gerrnans "would be easy inner ort points." I had no idea, no faintest fear or hops that America would tahe a band in tbs war. It had noth ing to lo with herz we werc not involved in any way nor even threalened. I deplored the ac ceptance of the British block ade; like the American-govern-ment I knew it was "illegal." 1 hated the shipping of munitions to Great Britain and the Aliies. I took Waiihington's yiew of the matcr and prayed for strictost justice and absolute non-intcr-screnre. Evcryone knows hov the United St3tes was gradually drawn in; how we sirst providd th6 .Allies with munitions and then - with monies to büy the ftiunitions; how we accepted the "illegal" blockade which we had denounced and permitted the British to search American ships and confiscate as contraband milk for' the starving children and rubber gloves for the Red Gross hospitals in Germany. Babies and wounded rnen werc put outsid our pity and my soul sickened. Had we kept our strict neu trality inviolate, we should have had an immense m'oral inlluence, not only with the Allies, but with Germany, and it is beyonJ doudt that at the crucial rnoment iri the first days of 1917 we ehould have been able to impose just peacs pn thd warring na lions, the peace of the Status quo ante with the reparation 6f Bei gium and the i eturn to Francs of the French parts of Alsace Lorraine. But our moral power was weakened by our partisan ship and the partisanship became sö flagrant that many ill-informed Gcrmans thought our declared enmity prcfcrable to the uncon cealed aid we were giving to the Allies j consequcntly, desperate mei5ures were adopted by, Ger many. After we entered the" war we rengthened the blockade ai much as we could, and cöntinued it alter the armistice was signed. For i eight long months alter President Wilson had declared the War was ended we fielpcd to fctarve Gerrrran children and nothers. BrockdorfT-Rantzau asserted at the Paris Conference that over a miüion GeryiZa ffiotheri . and the war was "ended and over," to use President Wilson's words. But no on listened to him; it was tossed aside as a peace plea and when Dr. Renner, the head, of th Austriari Mission, said that the blockade after thö armistice had been Signed was responsible for rnore innocent sufferine than the whole war. ordinarily intelligent Arnericans merely sneered. None of the scribes in the' kept capitalist press of America or England paid the slightest attention to the horrible indictrnent. This, in my opinion, marks the lowcst point to which so-called civilized humanity hasN evet sunk, the absolute nadir of brutal savägery, and I should think myself unworthy of my Position, as a journalist and recorder of passing events did I not Protest in the plainest language against uns outrage upon the conscience of rntn. For it has ' been oer petrated by Enclishmen and Americarts whose language ' is mine, whose Iitcrature is rnine, wiiose Ideals I have hitherto re- pected and whose sharne I am compelled to sharö . If anyone had told me at the beginning of the war the Eng lish would so misuse tlieir powet I should have protested; Pd have said that in the strcs3 of a struggle the English were cap able of almost anything. I had witnessed their savasrerv more than once. The Concentration camps in the Boct war proved what they would do even to wotnen and children in ordef to win or Tat least avoid plain defeat. But once the fight tvas over, th English, I'd have sworn,"were generous foes, magnanimous even to the helplcss among the defeated. 'But the English gov emment cöntinued the blockade of Germany after the German soldiers had laid . down their arms, after all possible armed resistance was at an end, when evcryone knew that there was rothing. to kill but womeri and utle babies. To their honor be it said the first open protests came from the British oßiccrs in. tbs arriiy of öccupatioh. Gen eral. Plumer declared that bis olücers and men would not stand by and see German women and children starved to dcath. But ho hotice was täken even of Plumcr's report by the gov ernment of Lloyd George or the governrhent öf Wilson; for three hofnwe months more the star-vatiori-blockade was cöntinued and mors and more ruthlessly (.-iiiorceu u one recanea ishake peare's awful line : "the power to do ill deeds rnakes ill deeds done." One word, or.s fact to rnake truth manifest and burn the knowledge of it into the soul of our great but ignorant people: In May and June, hundreds of women in Berlin and thousands in Germany had carried unborn babes ten and eleven months in stead of nine. Blind nature was a thousand times more pitiful than man ; Nature "red in tooth and claw" aecording to Tenny son, Nature "without conscience and without a touch of the Divine" aecording to Darwinist, kinder thast American men -and women. I did what I could to ävvaken my countrymen to the foul atrocitics perpetrated in- their fiame and by their powef iri peace-time. All in, vaih ; the savagery cöntinued. And now peace is signed; the Massacre of the Innocents is ended, though the Allied govern ments take" care that their suffer ings shall be prolonged, and I want to register this sölemn Protest.

Evcryone can see now how close it was; how long the scalcs trcmbled in the balance. Amer ica and Wilson saved her, saved her to do worse than ever; to he!p her in the most appalling crime of which history holds a Memory ; but the end is snre and already her sentence is hasten ing to fulfillrncnt.

Mathias Erzberger, Minister ok Finance, speaking at Weimar be fore the ' National Assembly, boldly outlines a taxation policy to meet Germany's . own debt änd the bill for reparation. "It is the duty of propestied people," he said, in speaking of the enor mous taxes that would have to be raised, "not only to bow to a state of compulsion, but to achieve an inward coiiviction as to the necessity of givirig up all rlches and all that is super fluous." , Details of the tey taxes have not been subm'itted.

There äre Certain self-stvled'fxnmrinafinn unApt rmmntn liberals vvho always solemnly precate any violent criticism of existing conditions. They preach patience and moderation at all times and at all costs. They pre fer to cornpromise with injustice, rather than to figlit it to a finish. They are more shocked by tne txposure of an outrageous evil in burning language thart by thepelled the American colonies to actual , existence of the evil. Ireiand has suffered much from the vell-meant efforts of such tepid liberals. They, more than any one eise, are responsible for confusing a plain moral issue by introducing artificial compli Cations. The tory who believeä that , Ireiand was creatcd to be politically oppressed and econo mically exploited by England is at least an open and avowed ene my. But the "liberal," be he English or Anglo-American, who professes the utmost sympathy with Irish grievanecs, but who cherishes all sorts of cautious doubts about Ulster, and about the capacity of the Irish people for self-government, and about British , security he is the friend from whorn Ireiand may well pray to be delivered. In considering the Irish prob lern nothing should Obscure the fundamental fact that the Eng lish doMination of the neighbor ing island is a putely arbitrary despotism, establlshed and main täined only by süperior fpree. At no time in their history have the Irish yielded even nominal acquiescence täf the foreign tyranny. Tinte after time they have protested against the häte ful allen regime by desperate, futile revolts, foredoomed to fail ure by the overwhelming power arrayed against them. The last öf these revolts, the mad, heroic venture of a few young ideal ists, was crushed by the British military authorities in 191 ö with a savagery worthy ot the Ger rnans in Belgium. In the par liamentäry election last Decem ber the independence party, the Sinn Feiners, operating under the greatest obstacles in the shape of repression and martial law, swept the island by an enormous majority. Eamonn de Valera's title as President of the Irish Rcpublic rests upon a larger Pro portion of votes than were gkven to Woodrow Wilson in 1916. This clear and unmfstakable desire of the Irish people for freedom is a sufficient answer to the Statement that Ireiand Is satissied with the many benefits which she has reeeived under English rulc. These benefits exist largely in the mlnd ot British Propagandist any way; and they are far outweighed by corresponding injuries. It is not ftecessäry for t Irishmen to go back into history for their wrongs, to recall the wholcsale free press all these bfafnles brutalities sill me with sick fear.

The assertion that the Irish are incapable of self-government is the familiär äccusa tion of tyrants against peoples they oppress. The M'ere fae't that Irish national feeling has survived in the face öf the bis tetest repression is an adequate proof öf its genuine character and its right to free' exnression. English and Anglo-American Tories profess great solicitude about the täte ol Ulster iri an indepehdeht Ireiand.

In this connectiott it should be itoied that the Ulster mittority is considerably maller than the German arid Magyaf minorities in several öf the hew" states which thö Peace Conference has created ir Eastern Europe. More- over, Ulster is far front a re h'gious and tacial tmit. -There is a large Gatholic: rninörity in the province; and the general strike in Belfast last spring showed quite conclusively that the Ulster workrnen .regardlesS öf race ör creed, are closer in sympathy to the radical Sinn Feiners than to the Ulr.ter capitalists. In any event it is an intolerable viola tion of dernoeratie principles that a srnall rninörity öf alien in truders should indefinitely thwart the aspirations of the great rnass of the Irish people for independ ence. The argurnent is often ased that a free Ireiand would con stitute a grave menace to Eng lish security. The fact that such a distinctly Prussian and Machia vellian reason should be advanoed even by a liberal ergan like "The Manchester Guardian" is a mclancholv Illustration of th cynicisrn which still dorninates international relatiofts. It eerns almost superfluous to point out that, if it be admitted that any great power has i tight tö con trol ft neighboring sifiall gtate 'against its will for reason öf "Strategie advantage," every mora! isSue supposedly involved in the late war is thoronghly and finally vitlated. By an identical process of reasoning GermSny could juskify thj öccupation of Lelgium, Austria the öppression of the Czechs and Jfugo-Slavl, Turkey the Arrnenian rnassacreS. Aecording to the viewpeint which firtds expressäiöh in "The Newr York Evenin Post'" and "The Review." the Lcaui of Nations despite thd shofteohr ings of the Peace Treaty, is a real guarantee of & tttvr otdtt in which brüte force will be sup planted by justice.

P. SAYS MONOPOLISTS HERE ARE CAUSE OF MEXICAN TROUBLE. , Aecording to ä special cable to The New York Times, C W. Lowther, M. P., in a letter to The London Mofning Post, rnakes a plea on behalf of Mexico "threatened with United States itttervention." Mr. Lowther feels encouraged to do this, "as soms few years ago I was at tached to His Britannic Mäjesty's Legation in Mexico City, trav eled extensively through the country, and have many Mexican friends." The letter gocä oni ven duringf the Presidency öf Diäz the Mexican Government had, despite its cordial relätions with other countries, an anxious time. Its powerful tteighbor to the north seemed always ready to devour it. , Capitalists from the United States wörked unceasing ly to lay hold of any Mexican industry, and following the usual American business strategy aimed at a monopoly. The American monopolist was balked of bis object, but did not hesitate to take bis revenge. "The sal years of civil strife which followed General Diaz's fall were by no means entirely the fault vt the Mexican tem perament The money, the arms, and possibly even the Motive came from citizens of the great n Orthern neighbor.

So Ireiand may fairly be considered typical öf the rnany instances of injustice which must be rectified before the "riew ' order" can bc regarded as anything but a badly camotiflaged edition of thö olJ. When the League pf Nations is honest enough and strong enough to induce or cornpel England to settle the Irish question in ac- cördance with the Clearly ex- pfessed will of the Irish people, then progressive thinkers will hot withhold their Support from it. Until that time they are cer tainly justified iri maintaining their present attitude of critical reserve. - INFLUENZA RETURNS. away. 3.
