"Go on a diet becauso they aro fighting In Europe? When wo was running off the Spanish war, Zapp, tho Leutc In Europe oscr felt bad enough over It to go without so much os one caraway seed In their ryo bread." "AVer what was tho Spanish war, Birsky?" Zapp protested. "A skirmish, that's nil." "Never mind," Birsky said. "The Spanish war was pretty good for Its day." "Sure, I know," Zapp said, "for Its day, Birsky, but you tako the Spanish war today, Birsky, and they would print It In tho newspapers under tho head of Amusement Notes.' " "That's what I am driving at," Bir sky said. "Things like tho Irish revo lution and the Spanish war has got too much competition nowadays. Tako all them poor people, ncblch, which lost their lives In tho Iroquois fire, the Ti tanic, tho Grand Republic and tho East land, Zapp, and if the same number pf French and Germans is wiped out in front of Verdun between 9 and 12 In tho ovenlng, 'understand, tho next morning tho German War Office sends out a statement that to tho east of tho Mouse and In the Woevre things havo been comparatively quiet. That's tho reason why tho Irish revolution was taken off so quick. It was like a fairly good Bhow which Is put on whllo there aro too many attractions in town, Zapp. Nobody rends tho notices, and tho conse quences Is It closes" Saturday night." "Well, of course, if you can talk like that about tho Irish revolution, Birsky," Zapp commented, "you wouldn't of con sidered It out of $10 way If, instead of fiddling when Rome was burning, tho Emperor Negro would of conducted ono of them Europe's orchestras with a drummer ringing cow bolls and blowing a steamboat whistle. To my mind, Bir sky, of all the tzurts that happened In this war, the Irish revolution is the worst." "Listen, Zapp," Birsky said, "I am go ing now on every kind of theaytcr for years already English, Yiddish and vaudeville and one thing I learned it, Zapp, that if there is anything more tragical than a comedy which ain't funny, y'understand, it'B a tragedy that tho audience couldn't help laughing nt. And you couldn't blamo them people for laughing at It, Zapp, any more than you could blamo mo Jtor eating paprika chicken tnU Knockerl whllo them poor Irish is getting killed by tho thousands, because what would happen ma If I did otherwise, Zapp? Let us say, for exam ple, that I would go out now Into tho streets and alt n tho gutter and beat my chest, and a policeman an Irish policeman at that comes along and asks what Is tho matter with mo, Zapp, and I toll him I am carrying on that way becauso tho revolution gets put down in Ireland. Tho chances is ho would tako me before a magistrate and an Irish magistrate at that and the first thing you know my relations Is paying hundreds of dollars to a lawyer ho should got mo out of tho asylum with a man damus or an aveous corpus, whlchevor tho lawyer thinks ho could charge tho most for. Am t right or wrong?" "You aro right about the policeman and tho magistrate, Birsky," Zapp said, "but you're wrong about your relations. As a general thing, Birsky, It don't make no difference to a feller's relations whether a magistrate sends you to Jail or an asylum, y'understand, It only con firms what they've been thinking about you for years already." "Might your relations would act that way, Zapp," Birsky said, severely, "but my relations would figure that blood Is redder than water and from a feller In Jail or an asylum thoy couldn't get no accommodation notes or stick him with a post-dated check. And, anyhow, Zapp, so far as my relations is concerned, I glvo thorn suckers leavo to lot mo alt In an asylum' tho rest of my days if I would mako such an exhibition of my self In the public streets." "Well, you couldn't expect no better, Birsky," Zapp said, "and them poor Irishmen, ncblch, couldn't expect no better, neither, because you could bo so sorry for Ireland that you could cry tears In tho streets for her, y'under stand, and you could bo so anxious to seo Ireland Independent of England that you could shoot off guns in the streets for her, understand me, and Just so long as you only TALK about doing It and WRITE about doing It, you would be O. K. For Instance, you tako these hore Irishmen and they says months ago al ready; 'England's tzurts is Ireland's slmcha,' and when Mr. Asqulth reports It tho English Government only smiles and say's they should tell their troubles to Blrrcll and that Asqulth should plcaso ask Kitchener has tho expressman de livered them 1,681,352 khaki uniforms yet. A Uttlo later these hero Irishmen ,goes to work and Incorporates under tho style of Sinn, Fein & Co , Max J. Sinn, prcsldont; Louis Fein, vice presi dent and treasurer, and oven with them German names for officers tho English Government savs what Is the difference: if thoy want to, let 'em organize under the name of the Dubllner Aufruhrerlscher Oesellschaftsvereln and by printing only one proclamation In a union shop they would exhaust their funds for composi tion alone. Then they turned around nnd got up ON 1'APEU tho Irish Repub lic, and the English Government figures that the Henry Gcorgo Junior Republic was ALSO a republic, nnd lot It go at that, and so you see, Birsky, as long as them poor fellers' revolution was on pa pen Birsky, or Just a matter of talk, y'un dorstand, the worst that could of hap pened to 'cm was writer's cramp otfer laryngitis, which Is two diseases you couldn't die of, no matter If you hired a specialist to treat you at a hundred dollars a visit. But thorn poor revolu tionists felt so strong about Ireland, Bir sky, that thcyhad to glvo vent to It." "Well, their feelings done 'cm credit," Birsky said. "Suro, I know," Zapp agreed, "but feelings which are a credit to a man, Birsky, remains a credit to him only so long as ho keeps 'cm to hlmsolf, and after that thoy become a debit, Birsky. A feller must always pay for showing his feelings, Birsky. If he shows 'cm by making for somebody a bluo oyc, he's got to pay a flno to a magistrate, and If ho shows 'em by Joining a revolution, no's got to pay with his life to tho Government ho is re belling against, and you could no mora blamo the maglstrata for collecting tho fino as you could blamo tho (English Gov ernment for collecting tho feller's life, which If you claim otherwise, Birsky, you aro noting llko a poor sport." "I don't claim nothing about tho Irish revolution becauso I don't know nothing about It," Birsky said, "but I was born and raised In Russland, Zapp, and If n feller is a revolutionist, ncblch, he has got my best wishes up to and Including the funeral." "Well, I'll tell you," Zapp explained, "a Russian revolutionist la ono thing, and nn Irish revolutionist is somothlng elso ngqln. What a Russian revolutionist wants is that ho Bhould be able to ltvo in Russia under government conditions a quarter as good as they aro In Ireland, but as ho couldn't expect miracles exactly, he would bo satisfied if ho could get one-tenth tho liberty tho Irishman has got." "Then what Is the Irishman a revolu tionist for?" Birsky asked. "Ho is a revolutionist for old times' sako," Zapp continued. "A hundred and twenty years ago, English soldiers killed and worse than killed his relations by the thousands; seventy years ago tho Eng lish Government allowed his poor Gross mutter olav hasholom to starve,and down to twenty years ago English landlords gavo him a dispossess for not paying rent on property which wasn't worth no rent at all till ho grow potatoes and raised pigs and cows on It; which whijo It is true, Birsky, that them things Is now vorbel for years already, hard feelings ain't llko promissory notes. You couldn't bar them by, a statue of limitations, and If you murder a man's great-grandfather, starvo his grandmother nnd tako away his ropf from over tho man's own head, "Let bygones bo bygones." you nln't going to make him lovo you ex actly If you say to him: 'A'u, let bygones bo bygones.' And so for LahocMos only, Birsky, tho Irishman Is making a revolu tion " "I think you aro fooling yourself, Zapp," Birsky said. "I think you would find that England has got things fixed that nn Irishman must got to live n a pate of Irish settlement nnd couldn't own no real estate, tho samo like our people In Russland, nnd also nn Irishman couldn't uso the Irish language the snmc like tho Poles couldn't use no Polish In their busi ness with Russians." "Oscr a Btuckl" Zapp declared. "An Irishman could llvo whero ho wants to, ote, own real estate and act in Ireland tho samo llko he nets In the United States, and as for tho Irish language, Birsky, tho averago Irishman knows just ns much about it as you do about Loschen llakodcshf, Birsky." "To my sorrow, Zapp, I never had the time to learn It," Birsky said. "Well If ever you do havo tho time," Zapp retorted, "learn Instead to play as good as Paderowskl on tho piano, Bir sky. It's a whole lot easier, Birsky, and you'll get moro enjoyment out of It, which you could take It from mo, Birsky, if the English Government insisted that overy Irishman must go to learn Irish, y'understand, then with reason there would be an Irish revolution, and tho Kalsor wouldn't got to finance It neither." "Did tho Knlsor finance tho Irish rev olution?" Birsky asked. I "A question!" Zapp exclaimed. "Didn't tho revolution fall? Honestly, Birsky 1 could find It In my heart to pity wiat feller the way ho keeps throwing good money after bad. Millions of dollars that poor ncblch has advanced people for pull ing off explosions of canals nnd brlatoe, y'understand, and overy tlmo the oJjr thing'' which haa blown up was ttm plans," "Seemingly his money Is tainted," &Ir sky said. "Tainted ain't no word for it," Zap declared. "The best a feller cotlld ex? pect that finances n scheme through thai Kaiser Is an undetermlnate sentence, Bir sky, Ho is particularly schlcmaxcldlch In the revolutions he's been backing. With tho accommodation paper he jnad and Indorsed for tho South African revolu tion he could of floated a chain of depart ment stores, any ono of which would make Marshall Field nnd B. Altman look llko new beginners already, and for ail thi good It dono down In South Africa, Birsky, ho might Just bo well of Invested tho money In Anglo-French Gs. Egypt nrtd India was tho samo way, Birsky, and now that the Irish revolution went mechultah on him for several million dol lars money loaned, Birsky, if ho figures on financing any more revolutions against England, y'understand, ho would do n whole lot better by advising the revolu tionist president to tako out llto insur ance and put up tho policies with th llclchsbnnk as security for n loan. Th way revolutions fins been going recently, Birsky, tho RelchBbank would realize en tho policies within five days aftor tho revolution starts nnd It would keep the Kaiser's name out of tho affair." "Abcr how do you know tho Germans was behind the Irish revolution!" Birsky Insisted. "In tho first place bvorybody says eo," Zapp explained, "and In tho second place It sounds nwful German to tno. Every thing was figured out In advance, Birsky, In tho regular German way. They had coins coined, postage stamps printed, a President, a Vice President, n Cabinet; and, In fact. It was tho last word In what a republic should ought to be, according to tho opinion of Professor von Splnnge webc, of tho Dopartmont of History of tho University of Berlin. No pains was spared in working out tho dotails, Birsky, and nothing was overlooked absolutely nothing, except a couple million English troops about six hours away In England and several warships of the English navy. Yes, Birsky, the wholo thing seems llko tho gen-wlne brand of German efficiency the samo as Verdun and tho Battlo of tho Marne. It reminds you of ono of them surgical operations by a $2000 pro fessor, where ho diagnoses the case suc cessfully, opens tho patient successfully, removes most everything ho sees success fully, closes the patient successfully and brings him out of the ether successfully, nnd tho patient gets along splendidly up Jo two or three days before his funeral." "But by your own showing, tho Ger mans did succeed In bringing about the Irish revolution, Zapp," Birsky said, "Yes." Zapp commented. "The opera tion was successful," Birsky, but tho pa tient died."
