peace in Ireland without another period

EUROPE REBORN IN THE
TPAVAtr, nr wa
AM IMPRESSION prevails In Congress
and elsewhere that tho warring na
tions will bo like the two farmers In the
story who quarreled about their lino fence.
They took their case into court and
fought with suob persistence that whon
the final decision was handed down tho
lawyers owned the farms and tho litigants
went to the poorhouse.
Those who are aware of what Is going
on In Europe know that this Is a mistaken
view. If tho lawyers had been tho sons
of tho farmers the analogy would bo about
as complete as such things Usually are.
There would havo been a chango In tho
ownership of the farms, but the property
would still have beeh In tho family.
As a matter of fact, all tho obtainable
ovldenco supports tho assumption that
tho belligerents, with tho posslblo excep
tion of Belgium and Serbia, will find them
selves economically In about tho same
shape as boforo tho war bogan. Some
students of tho situation Insist that they
will bo in better shape. It may bo truo
that the nations BOO years hence W11 still
bo paying Interest on the war debts, but
It Is certainly truo If liquidation Is not
accomplished sooner that tho men living
500 years hence will bo receiving tho In
terest and using it In their business as
the men who lont tho monoy In tho first
placo aro now receiving It. Tho Immense
loons are really llttlo moro than a capi
talization of tho labor and production
as tho war goes on. That Ir, tho nations
are producing tho commodities used and
tho producers aro accepting pnymont In
bondi! and tho money to meet tho Interest
Instalments is raised by a tax on tho
profits of the producers. Tho financing
of tho war Is merely a problem In tho
organization of Industry.'
Enormous quantities of ammunition
and guns and automobiles and horses and
such things aro being destroyed without
any productive return. This Is what tho
economists call wasto, Just as money
spent on needless luxuries is wasted. But
there aro compensations. Tho war has
produced an Industrial revolution, old
methods havo had to glvo placo to new
and moro efficient processes, Invention
has been stimulated. Tho economic wasto
of tlmos of peaco Is being curtailed, and
tho workers aro being schooled so thor
oughly In tho arts of efficiency that thoy
will not forgot what they havo learned
when tho armies lay down their arms.
Lloyd-Georgo, who has given as much
thought to tho subject as any other living
man, is responslblo for tho statement
that theso Improvements In Industrial
methods, whon combined with tho saving
resulting from tho effecttvo control of tho
liquor traffic, will fully componsato Great
Britain for all the destruction of property
in battle.
But even if necessity had not compelled
a speeding up of manufacturing processos,
tho stimulus to trade arising from tho
expenditure of vast Bums for war would
havo gono a long way to save tho na
tions from bankruptcy. Wo know what
tho war has done to the United States.
When It began business was stagnant, but
war orders havo saved us from disaster.
There Is a Job for every man willing to
work. Great fortunes have beon mads
by tho munitions manufacturers and all
metal workers havo prospered. The Wil
mington powder fortunes and tho phenom
enal rise In price of Bethlehem Steel
shares are examples of what has hap
pened here. Yet only a small fraction
of the money spent for war supplies has
come to tho United States. What has
been happening In Wilmington on a
small scale has been happening in Eng
land and France and Germany at whole
sale. British trade has recovered from
the first shock of the war so splendidly
that the valuo of the exports for May of
this year Is much greater than the value
of the exports for the same month In 1914.
All tho English Industrial plants are In
tact and in better jshapa for production
when peace comes than when the war
started. The same Is true of the German
plants. Only a small part of Franco has
been put out of Industrial commission by
the Invasion of German troops.
Tho United States has more than a
mere kindly Interest in the fact that war
is not pauperizing Europe, We must
compete in the markets of the world and
in our own markets with the new (ndus.
trial efficiency produced out of the neces
sities of tho struggle for eelf-pretierva-tlon
that Is going on. The Allies have al
ready entered into an agreement to pro
tect their own trado against the Centra
Empires when peace comes. We shall
be subject to the fiercest commercial rival
ry ever known, not only for tho neutral
markets but for our own trade here at
home. The moral of all this is so obvious
that every one but the unmitigated and
irreconcilable free trader can see It as
plainly as though It were written in let
ters of fire on the sky,

TIIE SIXTn DAY
THE sixth day of the Entente offensive
on the western front proceeded as pre
dicted with a heavy artillery bombard
ment of the Inner lines of German
trenches. So far have the valorous
French pushed their advance that the
possibility of a flank attack upon them
begins to be foreseen unless the British
advance hastens to make straight the
line. Enormqua reinforcements of the
German lines in Picardy are reported.
and the obvious necessity now is for a
show of offense further north by the Brit
ish. In that respect the new Russian direc

"YaTHEX that Prlnco of Wales who
VV bocame King Charles II of England
was a lad barely 18 he enjoyed a romance
upon that garden spot, tho Isle of Jersoy.
Some authorities state that a secret mor
ganatic marrlago resulted, others that tho
affair was a mere advonturo. Whatever
Its status, a child resulted a son, who
assumed the name James do la Cloche.
There were persistent rumors that tho
lad's mother was Marguerite do Cartaret,
who, with her brother, Sir Goorgo Car
taret, dwelt In tho beautiful old Manolr
do la Trlnlto, in the islo abovo mentioned.
Tho young prince and his brother, the
Duko of York, were entertained thero by
Sir Georgo, to whom Charles, whon King,
gavo what Is now our Stato, New Jersey,
named in honor of that Eden which had
such a wnrm place In the royal memory.
In any ovent, James do la Clocho is
known to havo been rocognlzed by
Charles II as his son. His royal father
had him educated In Franco and granted
him a pension of 500 a year, which was
to continue so long as ho remained a
Protestant this proviso being moro on
account of Its political effect than any
aversion borne by the King to the Cath
olio faith, for His Majesty was at heart a
Catholic.
In several letters Charles II expressed
his purpose to ono day puollcly recognize
his son. Ho further hinted that he
might deolare that youth his rightful
heir to tho throne, for Charles II and
his Queen had no Issue; and neither did
the Duke of York, at that time. King
Charles stipulated to James de la Clocho
that he must not reveal his parentage
until his recognition should be openly
made, but the young man disobeyed this
command by confiding in Queen Chris
tina, of Sweden, whom he met at Ham
burg. Subsequently ho proceeded to
Rome bearing with him a letter written
by Her Majesty In Latin and attesting
that Charles II had privately acknowl
edged him to be his son.
Charles Called Hint "Our Honored Son"
In Rome James de la Cloche chose to
further disobey his royal sire and to for
feit his comfortable pension by Joining
the Jesuit order and entering one of its
monasteries when he was 22 years old.
But King Charles, Instead of seeking to
punish his offspring for this defiance,
either forgav? him forthwith or affected
so to do, for not long afterward he sent
a Becret message to Olivia, general of
tho Jesuits, confessing that his heart
oraysd Catholicism and asking- that the
young Jesuit, James de la Cloche, be
sent to him to instruct him In the faith.
About the same time James rocelved from
his father a letter addressing him us:
''Our Honored Son, the Prince Stuart,
dwelling under the name of Blgnor de la
Cloche."
So, in the autumn ef 1608, de la Cloche,
In disguise and under an assumed name,
proceeded to London to see tha King,
bearing with him tha belief that he
might one day bit upon the British throne,
should he see fit to leave the militant
order of tho Church of Rome. But King
Charle3 was not yet ready to acclaim him
to the multitude aa hU eon and heir, In
stead he wished to make use of him- as
a Becret messenger between him and his
ally, the Pope.
The message which de ia Cloche was
to bear gave assurances to the Hojy See
that Charles II, his aJstervDuchess Hen-
By JOHN ELFRETH WATKINS
rletto of Orleans, and Louis XIV of
Franco had conspired to wage var
against Holland and rcstoro Roman
Catholicism In England.
Tho month following that of his ro
turn to England, James left London with
this confidence, whoso betrayal would
havo wrecked his father's throne and
his own chances of succession thereto.
While proceeding back to Rome ho bo
camo lost to history, nd today no ono
knows what becamo of him.
All that has accounted for his fate
after ho took leavo. of his father, at the
British court, has been mero theory and
speculation. Somo authorities believed
that ho was followed and murdered by
somo ono whoso black heart fostered
Jealousy over tho royal favor shown to
him while ho was being entertained at
court; others that ono of his servants
assassinated him.
WnB Ho "Tho Man in the Iron Mask"?
Shortly after his strange disappearance
thero appeared at Naples a dissolute
swindler and Impostor, who masqueraded
under tho namo of Glacopo Studardo, and
there was a story that this adventuror
was do la Clocho. But Inasmuch as that
young man was a pious youth who had
overy reason to servo his masters well,
who might look to the west for a throne,
or to the cast for ecclesiastical honors,
this theory was absurd. Another was
that the adventurer Studardo was not de
la Cloche, after all, but tho servant who
had assassinated him and had proceeded
for part of his Journey under his dead
master's name.
Some have advanced the belief that
James de la Cloche was disposed of by
no less a porsonago than his own royal
fathor; that while beawng back to Rome
tha news of the conspiracy to recatholl
clze England he had somewhere com
mitted the Indiscretion of confiding this
confidence to some one, as he had con
fided his parentage to'the Queen of Swe
den. According to this theory, King Charles,
on hearing of hla son's betrayal of his
confidence, trembled with the fear that
the story might get abroad, that the
Protestants in England might again rise
in their bloody wrath, and that his head,
like his father's, might fall by the ox.
Consequently he gave tha alarm to his
"great and good friend," Louis XXV, who
had James de la Clocho arrested and
placed in prison, where he became that
mysterious personage, "The Man In the
Iron Mask."

correctly ; but as all Americans have studied
formal grammar, Including newspaper re

The answer to all three is that the course

the English fleet at the beginning of the

English subjects. Some Joined the Ger

Boers to their conquerors, Also, it la pos

"GOD BLESS YOU"
An American In Mexico has been moved
to verse by tho situation there. He has
Bent his poem to a friend in New York,
who In turn sent It to the Sun, which
printed It. The author called hla verses
"God Bless You," because that la tho name
which the American civilians and soldiers
In Mexico apply to the American bullets
that the Mexicans nre using. The poem
follows:
Tho slim little bullet that lays people low
Arrives by the shipload In old Mexico,
It's American made nnd American sold,
It's bought by the barter of foodstuffs for
gold
And stamped on Its face as It drops from
the mold
Is "Bless you, God bless you, God bless
you."
Carranza receives It on board, Vera Crus,
And sends It wherever he thinks Itts of use.
It's issued to patriots, aye there's the rub,
Whose sweet soldaderas go out with a tub
And swop with Zapata and Villa for grub ,
aod bless ypu, Ood bless you, God bless
you.
Zapata and Villa and I. Salazar
Pack them up to the border, It Isn't so far,
Thoy strike In the night when it's dark aa
tno grave,
And they shoot up with Winchesters (though
we may rave)
The Land of tho Free and the Home of the
Brave,
God bless you, God bless you, God bless
you.
Whereat Df. Wilson, A. B LL. D.,
Beconies Just as crobs as a teacher can be.
He "views with alarm" and he "places the
blame"
On ''Blnlster Interests" that Is his claim,
But he is the one who Is back of the game,
(5od bless you, God bless you, God bless
you.
On September the eighth, Nineteen Hun
dred Fourteen, '
He lifted the ltd of the bullet machine
Then September the ninth of the very same
year
He summoned to prayer the good folk far
and near
For the peace of the world that he claims
to hold dear,
God bless you, God bless you, God blesa
you.
That made it all right, though It's hard tot
to see.
fe'or he could havo stopped the whole mess.
by decree.
Now mothers and children and soldiers,
the best.
Are going by scores to their very long rest,
There Is war la the lUtit, but there's hell
In the West
God blesa you, our Wilson, God bjesa you.
