der the ultimate control of the elee
torate,
Make no doubt that the Irish vote
will be a hlock vote against Eng
land and all things Enklish as long
a 8 the Irish question I 8 allowed to
persist. It must be remembered also
that for 40 years the cause of lre
land has been pleaded unceasingly
in the United States by a host of
brilliant and persuasive personali
ties, with the result that,K a great
body of libergl sentiment is firm in
the bélief that Irish wrongs are
real and call for redress.
IRISH-AMERICAN'S SPIRIT,
Nor may it be forgotten that the
histary of the United States, written
in & spirit of bumptious national-
Ism, -has. pot been ealeulated to -
male for Anglo-American under
standing. The corgradeship of a
gna; adventure in humaniyy mere-
Vv anesthetized this feeling, ond any
definite anti-English camy®ign Wwill
stir It to ugly life.
These forces, askembled and fs-
Isernbleable, given unchanged condi
tions, will have power to %Meé‘t and
shape the foreign policies of the
United States. d
What, then, is to bé the attitude
of those Americans who are not of
Irish blood and who have no con
cern with the Irish question save
as it bears upon the destinies of the
United Stdtea? . :
It is idle to adopt a tone of heavy
reproof and talk of “Amariea,first.” .
America has always heen first with
the Irish-American, for while love
of Erin I 8 an unehanging passion,
his allegiance, once given, {8 never
divided by a hyphen,
* Men c¢f Ireland gave heart and
gtrengh to Washington; they died
by thousands that the UUnion might
endure, and of the agmy ralsed in
the U'nited States to war against
German absolutism fully 15 per eent
were of Irish birth or Irish de
scent.
It is with this record of love ¥nd
loyalty behind them that the lfl-‘}
call upon America to lend hope,
not aid, to their unhappy motihers
land. It is a call to which some
sort of answer must be given,
OTHERS FACE PROBLEMS,
Other nations, as well as this, are
confronted with the same problem,
for there is not a eivilized country
in the world In which the Irish ex
fles have not played important parts,
enriching and encouraging the na

pressed in their native country,
would have lifted Ireland to a high
place among the nationg.
Macauley, commenting in melan

men into exile, said:

1 FRANCE INDEBTED TO IRISH.
France, in particular, still rests
under huvr burden of gnmudo
1o the ;lhh. n 1641, in 1690 and in
1798 the French promised aid to
Ireland, but gave so -low‘l} and so
little that it was more & hurt
than a help,
Yet out of the friendships engen
dered by this sympathy, thousands
of Irishmen entered French service
to fight the battles of France. In
the 50 years that followed the
broken treaty of Limerick, fully
450,000 llrish died fighting under
Freneh banners, and countless oth
ers vitalized French industry and
enriched the French professions,

SERVICE OF EMPIRE.
The British Empire itself has not
scrupled to take the abilities of Irish
for use in other countries than Ire
land, or to wear laurels won by
Irish génius.
The great Duke of Wellington
was an Irishman, and: even while
England was danylnf the capacity
of the Claels to rule themselves,
four Irtshmen-~Richard Wellesley,
Franclg Hagtings, Rghard Bourke
and Frederick Blackwood —were
sent as governor generals to hold

Guy Carleton, the greatest gov
ernor general that Canada ever
knew, was an irishman; likewise
Lord Dufferin, Jonathan Swift, that
savagé satirist; Lawrence Sterne,
KEdmund Burke, Richard Brinsley
Sheridan and Goldsmith were all
Irish, and Goldsmith's “Deserted
Village” was no mere poetie vision
but a faithful pieture of an Irish
village dm&ullh\d by English law.
It is the United p&atel. however,
that has sustained the most inti
mate relations with Ireland, just as
it has received the most and the
best from the love and loyalty of
the Irish.
From the very earliest days there
was kinghip between Ireland and
the American colonies, for the same
kings were oppressing both coun
tries, the same cruel lawg bore
heavily \Ton both.
Benjamin Franklin, while in Eng
land on_ his iuuu errand of ap
peal to English justice, ‘er much
time and ught to pointing out
the sameness of Irish and Ameri- .
can wrongs and aspirations, and
one of the first acty of the (‘onll
nental Congress was to frame a
formal address to the pvotplo of Ire
land in which these significant par
agraphs appeared:
BRITISH GOVERNMENT CRUEL.
“We are desirous (as is natural
to injured innocence) of possessing
the good opinion of the virtuous
and humane, * * * We know
that you are not without your
grievances. We sympathize with
you in your distress, and are
pleased to find that the desi of
subjugating us has DQPIUIththO
administration to dispense te Ire
jand some vagrant rays of minis
terial sunshine. . ,
“Even the tender mercies of ‘the
British' Government have long been
cruel toward you. In the rich pase
tures of Ireland many hungry par
asites have fed and grown strong
to labor for itg destruction, We
hope the patient abiding of the
meek may not always be forgotten,
and God Jflm that the inquitous
schemes extirpating liberty may
soon be defeated. * * * For the
achievement of this happy event we
confide in the good offices of bur
sympathizers beyond the Atlantie
Of their friendly dispositions we do
not yet despair, aware ag they must
be, that they have nothmg more to
expect from the same common ene
my than the humble favor of being
last devoured.”
In every one of the thirteen eolo
nles were thousands of men and
women of Irish birth or descent,
exiled from their mother land by
the oppressions of English rule, and
it was largely their bitter hatred,
ag well as their passion for free
dom, that gave purpose and cour
age to the American complaint
against British tyranny.

PRAISED BY GENERAL.
Among the generals upon whom
Washington most depended, Rich
ard Montgomery, Walter Stewart,
William Thompson, Stephen Moy

Butler, were Irish exiles, while
among the generals of Irish par

The lrlsan only gave their

their money as well, When the
Bank of Pennsylvania was organ
ized to, supply funds for the support
of the American army, one-third of
the subscribers, representing more
than one-third the capital, were
members of the Friendly Sons of
St. Patrick, and this organization
later contributed outright the sum
of $517,500 of a total of $1,500,000,
Washington praised this soeiety
as “distinguished for the firm ad

the preservation of the Union,
General Thomas Francis Meagher,
an Irish rebel, deported for life by
the .English Government and es
caped from Van Dieman's Land to
the United States, was among the
first to offer his sword, and this
testimony, from a Britsh observer,
might well serve as a general de
scription of Irish conduct through
out the struggle:
“To the Irish division commanded
by General Meagher was principally
committed the desperate task of
bursting out of the town of Fred
ericksburg, and forming under the
withering fire of the Confederate
batteries, to attack Marye's Heights,
. lowering immediately in their front,
| “Never at Fontenoy, at Albuera
or #t Waterloo was more undoubted
courage displayed by the sons of
~ Erin than during those six frantic
. dashes which they directed against
the almost impregnable position of
thelr foe. The bodies, which lie in
dense masses within 40 vards of the
muzxzles of Colonel Walton's guns,
are the best evidence of what man
ner of mr&l they were who pressed
on to death with the dauntlessness
of a race whichy has gained glory
on a thousand battlefields.”
When the United States, drtven
to war by the outrages nd {ll-faith
of the Imperial German Govern
ment called for men to support the
ideals of democracy, the most in
stant and enthusiastic response was
from the so-ealled Irish- Americans.
Hatred of England, handed down
from generation to generation
through seven centuries, was put
aside out of devotion to the country
of their adoption, and the records of
the War Office are thick with Irish
names and instances of Irish valor.
WAIVED EXEMPTIONS.
Prior to the adoption of the
treaty arrangements, such unnatu
ralized residents of the United
States as were citizens of a co
belligerent country had the right to
clatm exemption when drafted. The
report of the provost marshal shows
that this class walved exemption in
the tollowing percentages:

Just as they have fought side by
side with pure native stock in every
American war for the preservation
of democracy and the triumph of
democratic ideals, so have the Irish
played heroic parts in the victories
of peace.
In the advancement of the fron
tier, the harnessing of streams, the
battle with mountain and plain, the
conqguest of desert and waste, men
of Irish blood have left records of

Committee to Discuss
Schoolbook Changes
The school committee of the Board
of Education will consider Tuesday
the proposal of Superintendent W, F,
Dykes that a partial adoption of text
books should be made now, deferring
full adoption until next year. Many
changes were contained in a list pre
sented to the school board at its last
session by Mr. Dykes.
Stiff opposition was encountered
from Mayor Key and Councilman
Orme. The Mayor held that no
changes in geography or history texts
should be made until after the pub
lication of authentic works dealing
with the war and its effects. Mr,
Orme chiefly was concerned with the,
added expense involved upon pa.remal
of sjudents.

Boys’ Shop Leases
Larger Floor Space
Five years ago Jacob Fox, who for
85 years has outfitted boys of Atlanta
and the South, was imbued with the
big idea that Atlanta needed an up
to-date store for boys exclusively.
This idea crystallized ‘into the Boys'
Shop, No. 6 Whitehall, which has
prospered and grown in public favor
and confidence continuously, to the
extent that for a long while the press
ing need for greater floor space has
been urgent. "
Fox & Co., owners of the Boys
Shop, have signed a lease for a long
terms of ‘years on the entire second
floors of Nos. 2, 4 and 6 Whitehall,
which gives them three times the
space of their present whitehall store.
This change goes into effect August
1, when, after extensive improve
ments, modern equipments, handsome
store fixtures, including added glass
cases for profecting the merchandise
from dust, at the same time display
ing it. This, together with every ar
rangement conducive to the comfort
and convenience of patrons, makes
the Boys' Shop not only the largest,
but the most beautiful and up-to-date
store of its kind outside of New
York's Jifth avenue specialty shops
for boys exclusively. The Boys' Shop
will celebrate its fifth anniversary
