John O'Connor, pastor of Holy Name church, addressed to the editor of the Evening Post and ap pearing m that paper Saturday, will prove interesting to many readers FATHER J T. O'CONNOR who are watching events In Ireland: Editor Eonlng Post In your Issue of yesterday you furnish your readcis with an editorial entitled "In Ireland," and give It as your opinion that It will be well for President Wilson and thesllfeaco Commissioners to keep hands off 6t Ireland and its present movement for some recognition by England of Its right to self-determination. With this you go on to tell us why the Tory, Gen. French, Is not acceptable to the Irish people as Lord Lieuten ant, giving no semblance of reasons why jou hold the above opinion Now since the most of your read ers know little or nothing about Irish affairs, not troubling them selves to study the situation, are of course proud to accept your state ment without question, It occurs to mo that In all fairness you should for their light guidance give the reasons why you arrive -at such a conclusion. I myself am puzzled at it, and can't see why If President Wilson, pressing home this one of his fourteen points "that small na tions should have the right of self determination as to their form of government" should Include Ire land, any consequences hurtful to Ireland or the United States or any other nation -could occur. Why Is It that there is a readi ness on the part of all to see to It that Poland, Czecho-Slovia, Jugo- Slovla, etc., shall have the right of self-determination, shall be organ ized into separate nations, but at the mention of Ireland their hands go up and solemn warnings are given, touch it not? And yet Ire land Is a moro homogeneous nation than any one of the above men tioned, and has not ceased for time out of mind to strive for manage ment of her own national affairs, that her people shall determine their own self-government. Indeed how can President Wilson, If he be conlsstent with the principle he has enunciated, omit Ireland from con sideration? He must include Ire land or abandon ithis point alto gether. If as you say that the Irish ques tion bo settled by England and Scotland, then with i;qual force and aptness may it be said that the Polish question be settled by Russia and Germany, the Czecho-Slovak by Austria, tho Jugo-Slovak by Italy and Greece. Would suoh settlement be deemed just? Of course not. It could not be entertained for a mo ment, and yet tho past proves that you can look for Justice in Ireland's case in a settlement by England just as much as could bo lookod for in tho instances mentioned. Can this be denied? Has Eng land ever shown any sincere pur- Irish and of bringing about a satis factory settlement of tho Irish question, though nothing moro has been demanded than the President now says the new small nations of Europo shall have. We need to look no larther bacic than England's recent dealings with Ireland. Twice within the last five years has a home rule bill been passed by the British Parliament and signed by the King, and yet home Tule is now farther off than ever. What stands in the way? The opposition of a faction In only six counties of Ireland, and this com posed not of Irishmen, but those of English and Scotch descent or birth. In the face of the opposi tion to home xule of this small but powerful minority, England appears Impotent to establish and enforce her aets of Parliament in Ireland, sut can readily set in motion means SPHaalaaBlalalalalalalalalalalallalalafl KrV Jal 'alasalaH Wm"'m alalsalalaH of coercion for tho vastly major part of the country when any disaf fection on the part of the people manifests itself with laws that are not to their liking. And this can be whether during peace or war, as for instance in 1914 England was unwilling to enforce the home rule bill In the face of Orange opposi tion several months before the war began, must have It suspended be cause of tho war, but instantly ready In 191C with machine gun, rifle and the gallows to suppress the Pearse rebellion in Dublin. Coercion must not be employed to suppress rebellion among the Eng lish and Scotch in Belfast and 'ad jacent places, but meted out un hesitatingly and unscrupulously to the Irish at the slightest sign of disturbance. Now why this courso of piocedure? And you know I am not overdi awing the picture. It shows to any fair, unprejudiced mind England's bad faith In tho whole matter; that there Is no sin cere desire to do Justice to Ireland. This Is further shown now by the whole matter being tossed aside with contemptible sophistry by Prime Minister Lloyd George, say ing, "The Irish question will be settled when the Irish agree." Never has any nation of people so completely agreed a3 do tho Irish people as to self-governmet, but for the- first time in all history It must be an absolute agreement on their part to please England, not tho agreement of nine-tenths of the people This whole double-dealing courso of England toward Ireland shows the matter will never be set tled If left to England. There will always be the humble subserviency to a handful of Orangemen In the North and brutal coercion for the Irish nation, brutal, irritating In-' suits nice tho appointment of the unspeakable French as Lord Lieu tenant, which you disapprove of, but mildly dismiss as a mistake on thq. part of England. If the Irish question Is not considered In this peace convention, then the Piesident's points are but cant and hypocrisy, and will, more than the future of any other one, cause him to return home a thoroughly dis credited man in tho minds of all fair-minded men at any rate, In ejes of all persons who have a drop of Irish blood in their veins. ' President Wilson, for his -courso so far, deserves the highest ad miration of all for fearless courago and strict justice, and I can't be lieve for a moment that he will follow the course In this matter that you advocate. The one as tounding feature that presents Itself In our dally papers of today is tho wave of anglomanla that appears to have overwhelmed them. They all seem to wear the Northcllffe collar and are more intent on furthering English than American Interests. The niuch-talked-of German prop aganda of the past pales into In significance by the side of the John Bull propaganda of the present. John O'Connor. WILL TIIEV FJND WORK. When the civil war ended the country was confronted by a new trouble, the trouble of findlnc something to restore a balance of sanity after a war crazed people had divided against one another ana whoso homecoming was met by wasted homes and scattered fam ilies. It was rumored at the tlmo that certain Government officials were glad to throw these men Into tho war In the West about Texas, and ever since Texans Is a tltlo applied to men of brave deeds. We have heard, too, old wise headed men advancing the Idea that tho earth becomes too crowded and that God permits wars, even sets tho stage for them In order that the overplus may fall on tho fields of battle. If we were pushed to find a means of safety for our home coming soldiers in 1866, tho situa tion should be more complicated now. Many men have been prom ised situations where they formerly were omployed and of courso tho death list was heavy, and however sad we may feel in thinking of It we must consider that these empty situations will help to give morale to another discouraged and work less 'soldier. And the farms should not be forgotten when work is be ing considered for our brave men. There are few people, men or women, who will not find fiiat itho roots of their hearts are fastened to the earth with a substantial love. The Government could furnish these soldiers out and guide them to self-reliant years and thus foster Independence and self-respect. An idler usually becomes more or lees criminal, but a worker holds a Jewel, an honorable bond witfi the world. may savh nan. The Catholic ofeuroh may save Germany from her worst efiemles the reds.

Williams, of the 167th Infantry, a (Methodist minister of Besemer, Ala., returned to this country Saturday and when questioned about the Y. M. C.

I saw them sell cigarettes that were Intended for free distribution for a franc a package, and tho boxes were marked For Distribution To Bo Given Away.' " Edwin L James, the newspaper correspondent, writes as follows In tho Literary Digest: "But let us take an Instance I witnessed of four doughboys who walked five and a half kilometers in the rain to buy some cigarettes from a Y. m. U. a. canteen ana got there ten minutes after 6 o'clock, 6 being closing time for tho Y. M. C. A. man. He refused to sell them cigarettes because it was after hours and they had to walk back five and a half kilometers eleven kllome'teis (seven miles) in all In tho rain and without their cigar ettes. Those lads were sore and their comrades to whom they re ported were sore, "I have seen dozens of times a Y. M. C. A. man refuse to sell matches to soldiers because they did not have the right change and he did not have It. I once asked a Y. M. C. A. man why he not give some soldiers three cents' worth of matches. He replied that if he did he would have to make It up out of his salary, and he could not do that. "There was another instance of a battalion marching back from the front line, and because it was raining and dark the men did not reach their billeting area until 11 o'clock. Now the Y. M. C. A. man closed up at 10 o'clock, and when soldiers, wet and tlerd and cold, asked for some hot coffee this Y. M C A. man refused to get up and serve It." WILL BE HEARD. Although no official notice has been received that the committee named by the Irish Parliament in Dublin on Tuesday, comprising Count Tlunkett, Prof Edward de Valera and Arthur Griffith, was coming to Paris to present the claims or Ireland to self-determination to the Peace Conference, It ha3 already been determined that If the delegation secures passports Its application for admission to the conference to represent Ireland as an independent nationality will be passed upon by the Committee on Credentials under the rules This committee Is the sole judge In itially on all applications Tor ad mission to the conference, although possibly an appeal might lie to the full conference In certain circum stances. Thus far the Credentials Committee has held no meetings, but as It Is expected that there will be a flood of applications from minor nationalities or races, it Is the Intention of the committee to hold a meeting shortly for the pur pose of adopting a code of rules to be followed.
