The Irish whose ancestor settted the persons who settled the United States and other Innds today ore celebrating the anniversary of the Patron Saint of Krln, PAlrlck, Apostle of Irelnntl. No one knows In just what year he wns born; some say 'twas 372, but then nobody careo, for nowhere in oil Ireland will yoU find h, shnake, which Is due proof that St. 1'aOick lived and nourished years ago. Today all over tho world the shamrock Is being drowned by those Irishmen who have not Joined the pro'nlbltlonlsts. Drowning tho shamrock Is a simple pro cedure. It consists In ono Irishman buy. lng a dhrlnk, d'ye molnd, for another Irishman, and perhaps banging him on the hack and telling him phwat a folne thing It Is, now. t'be Irish. Various celebrations of a more formal character "have been planned for the day by the numerous Irish societies In this city. Nearly every son of Krln In Phila delphia will forefather somewhere to night with his fellows, whero there will be tales of proud and heroic Irishmen who 'nave gone before, of victories ana defeat that were as glorloUB as victories for the Irish, of the glowing green hills ( ON ST.

Ireland Ib practically united on this Issue, By T. r. O'CONNOR LONDON, March 17 -Ireland has defin itely turned to prosperity and to liberty, and neither Is more welcomo nor more beneficent than tho splendid unanimity with which Ireland has taken her shr.ro In tho present great struggle for tho -lilies and for human civilization. By JEREMIAH McVEAGH of the ould countree and the blue ces Member of Parliament for South Down. Of tho larsles and thf hluc sklen nbnvc LONDON. March 17.-Tho Dolltlcal truce TRADITIONS GLOWING TALKS Tradition will be taken out of lta hon ored shrine In the heart of every true Irishman tonight and hold up for ven eration. Rich Iilshmen and poor Irish men will rub shoulders, and many a wealthy son of Krln will discard his ex pensive cigar and snatch back the years In memory by tho magic of an ould clay polpe, blackened vilrt the aire av it but swate as honey, d'yo molnd. It la a saying of many races that the Dutch settled this country and the Irish settled the Dutch. However that may be, more than the Irish pay tribute to the memory of St. Patrick today and to the fine and noble things that have been dfne by Ireland nnd her sori3. You will see In the Chestnut street crowds shamrocks on many n mnn and womar without a drop of Irish blood In their Veins. You will see them wearing green tics and green socks, and some of tho K women will be artner carrying green P, , pfftnsols, all In honor of the great little .utneraia isie. T. A. Daly, an honored Phlladelphlan and one of the most widely known and widely read Irishmen In the world, a poet of whom Irishmen are Justly proud, Is the nuthor of the following quaint little rhyme: "Who says the Irish are flKhtora be birth? Say little Inn Crone Talxw thpre'a not a niore peaceable race on earth, it yr lave mem aione, 8jj little Dnn Crone " This tells the story of the Irishman's love for a good scrap hetther thun manny more wurrds cud do ut. If ye lave thlni alone, orhone, they re peacable, and If ye don't, be ready. Up In Port Richmond today, where llvo some of the best Irishmen In the city, the celebration of St. Patrick's Day Is taking various forms. In the park squuron and on the corner., where wise store keepers provide Heats, yon may tlnd .the older Sons of Kiln, and there the tales are being spun rapidly. McTAMMANY'S DONKKY HAPPY. McTammany's donkey, about the most popular baste In Richmond, Is having the tolme of his life today. This Is the ono day of the year he does not have to forage for his carrots, and the other things he likes. The chllder who have been cured of whooping cough by run ning under him threo times and the par ents of tho chllder nnd McTammany himself are seeing thut the donkey has a feaBt. Reverting to the Idea of a fight, If you want to start one, look up, first, the history of St. Patrick. You will learn that Scntlnnd, L'ngland. France and Wales all ilalm him as a native son. Now Ireland also claims him. Therefoie. to start a tight, walk up to some brawnv Irishman with a oprlg of green on his chlst and shlnppln' him on the shoulder, tell him St. Patrick was born In Scot land or In Wales or In Jerusalem.

Ireland, however. Is still what Sir Kd wnrd Grey described at the beginning of the war as "tho ono bright spot In the empire." Tho placing of the homo rule bill on the statute book has already worked marvelous chnngos, for Ireland now haB strength Instead of weakness, nnd she has given generously of hnr blood nnd treasure In tho gloat stniggle against Prussian militarism and despot ism. The country, moreover, Is In a most prosperous state, for the farmers are get ting good prices and most of tho manu fncturers are working at high pressure; added to which, tho faith of the peoplo In the future of their little nation was never so high. By DR. ARTHUR LYNCH Member of Parliament fotf "Vest Clare LONDON, March 17.-ThVs war has a good side in the sense that It has brought together Irishmen of tho vnrlotis classes, hut II has nlso produced deop fissures of disunion among those who wore for merly more closely united In tho national caiiKo.

Ill short, 1 am one of these who always hold before my eyes the clear Ideal of republicanism, .and I behold on eveiy side swirling cuncnts tending In the opposite dliecllon, the Impulsion being actively glen by reactionary statesmen for their own motives. This war will bring about a wave of reaction through ttvery stage of thought and polltlcnl activity in Europe, and It behooves the lovers of freedom to be extremely watchful and valiant to re sist that reactionary tide, nnd form plans so thut after the war they may carry on u Rill n the ptogress low aid a higher and freer civilization BIG LEGAL GUNS BATTLE IN OVERCOAT DISPUTE The Case Does Not Involve Millions Corporation Inter ests Are Not Concerned, But the Attorneys Are George W.

Her Failure to Appear Disappoints Loyal Sons of Erin. St. Patrick did not get to Philadelphia this morning, Many loyal sons of Old Erin wero disappointed. For many days they had planned a royal reception But when no St. Patrick appeared the yards of green buutlng which were to have been used In decorations were sorrowfully stowed away. This St. Patrick, strange to tay, Is not an Irishman; stranger still Is the fact that this St. Patrick is spoken of us "she." Just to remove all doubts, the St, Pat rick referred to Is the steamship St. Pat rick. Many faithful native of the Emerald Isle who had expected the arrival of the steamship were In a quandary. They hon ored the name of their patron saint, but they did not have any too much love for the English flag, This question was set tled when It was announced that Captain Mayo, of the St. Patrick, was going to have a green flag with a harp of gold in the centie Hying Instead of the British emblem. The St. Patrick la bound here from Rangoon, India. She is carrying a full cargo of valuable East Indian products. She left Rangoon cm January ?8.

"This Is an Influence which woiks for good and evil.

"That human respect Is responsible for many sins la evident to anv one who re flects. How often does not tho fenr of being considered too pious deter a young man or woman from practicing various devotions, public or prlvato? Roys nc tiulre the habit of using bad language, not becuuse It Is attractive In Itself, but to bo llko the rest of their associates." LIFE AND PRAYER Tho noonday service In old St. Peter's, 3d and Pino streets, wns conducted by the Rev. J. W. H Stewart, assistant rector of the church, who took for his theme, "Christian Life In Action nnd Player." "It Is easy enough to lilt tho trail," he suld, "but prayer Is needed to keep us on It. "The will Is the dynnmo of all human netlon. Hofore nny notion can begin, tho will muBt give Its consent. It must direct the mind, which sends on the message to the motor centres of action. In order to act llko Christians we must Christian ize our will. We must bring our will Into union with God's will. Wo must pray, 'Thy will be dune.' Prayer, then, la the expression of the purest Christian life lit action. It is not selfish. It Is tho Inspiration to do our life's work better." Letters Granted for J. R.
