CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING OCT. 25th, 1919 10,309 THE STEEL STRIKE. Evidence has been accumulating for some time that the strike of the steel workers was losing ground, that the men were going back to the work and the steel plants were steadily inereas- ing their production. Thus when Leader Fitzpatrick declares “There is mo use in pretending. The men are going back to work, The strike is lost -and the army is responsible,” it is an admission that is significant. i Try as they would Fitzpatrick and Foster have not succeeded in making the steel strike a success. They dis- regarded advice in the beginning and they have attempted to pretend that everything was going smoothly and that the steel industry was when as a matter of fact were bpening and prodt eonstantiy ning. The crippled plants b new adm nothing is to be gained by mi ntation, shows where a certain placed to help’ win the men going back ere is ble evidence that they are e leaders, remaining out for of ks and that they are anx- to get back to work.

In view of the agitations among the farmers by the I. W. W, the ef- forts to launch a farmere’ party in the northwest and the desire to have the farmers organize and affillate with la- bor organizations, it is interesting to note the attitude that has been taken by the Farmers’ National congress held in Maryland this week with an attendance of 1500 delegates in the adoption of resolutions dealing with the prevailing conditions in the coun- try today. X Pledding support to the president and the government agencies in the orderly conduct of national affairs and in the fearless administration of mna- I tional laws this resolution was passed: “We believe that the present crisis calls for calm, sane and deliberate ac- tion from all citizens, without regard to class or occupation. We believe that the conservatism of the American farmer should continue to be on guard to prevent the development and spread of radical theories and the tendency of certain elements to vitiate the funda- mental principles.of American insti- tutions, for which untold treasure has been spent and the sacred blood of America’s sons has been sacrificed.” That doesn’t have any ring of radi- calism. That doesn't indicate that the agricultyralists are going to join hands with any element that threatens na- tional security but it does show, if we can judge by the sentiment of that convention, that the farmers are go- ing to be found, right where they al- ways have been, among the staunch- est supporters of the country, justice. the maintenance of law and order and Americanism. It is quite natural that they, Mke; other people, are crying loudly for the elimination of the profiteer and waste but when it comes to getting them back of a Jot of dangerous doctrines they can be relied upon to resist them to the limit. REDUCE THE MENACE. From Cleveiand comes the latest re- port of revelations surrounding the uncovering of another anarchistic homb plot which was intended to ter- rorize the country during the winter. Some time ago it was indicated that the capture of certain ones who were involved in the sending of death- dealing explosives through the mall to prominent individuals throughout the country. This latest affair, however, appears to have been nipped in the| bud since agrests have already been made and several held for trial None too drastic action can be taken in dealing with such individuals as are willing to take life and destroy property in this manner, vet it seems as if encouragement was being lent to | such activities by the failure to prop- affairs. : ‘What séemsio bé needed here is the Aetermination®ta let those who'are in- clined to such radical practices that there is no place in this country for them. - What js needed is a wholesale deportation of '‘a small array of trouble makers who dre teady to do anything in support of” anarchistic principles. Where there are a few cases of de- portation there shouid be many. There is a aisposition to show to much le- niency to these who have absolutely no respect. for' the country in which they live or the government that ex- ts. Their whole purpose is to de- stroy and it is most unfortunate that so much time is required in getiing certain of the leaders started on their trip baek across the ocean. There is every Teason to believe that sufficient luws prevail for dealing with these people if they are but sanely employ- interests than to those who haveeno regard whatever for laws or country. The reduction in the number of these people would relieve the menace here.

Others as well re- alize that this situation ought to have been adjusted before this time or at ieast,a plan decided- upon for dealing h it. But nothing in the way of a decision has been reached and to a -ertain extent this is blamed upon the United States sinee it is attributed to the fact that this country’s decision regarding the acceptance of a mandate in that region was awaited. Either the impression must have been given that this country would undertake such a task as if is desired it should, er cise the idea has prevailed that it ¢ould be shouidered off upon us, but sentiment here has not changed from the first. This country wants no part in directing the government of Turkey or any portion thereof. We are anxious to aveid jast what is being asked in foreign diplomatic eircles relative to the #Fiume affair, gamely: Why should this country or the president continue to hold itself or himseif up as the judge (of the rights of the nations of Furope? It seems incomprehensible that Europe had not understood the attitiide of this céurtry long ‘ago. .

In the time of the Revolution three members of Wash- ington’s siaff were Jews—Colonels Tranks and Nones and Major Noah, A Jew gave Washington $658,000 to carry on the war.and he never asked to have a dollar returned. In our Civil war the Jews were a great help, and in. the Spanish-American war were many Jews. Some of thém were with Roosevelt'’s Rough Riders. In 1654 they first came to Amer- ica and on April 25, 1665, they were given the legal right to make, it their country. Now, when eighteén mil- lion boys and girls stand up In our public schools and say: “I pledge allegiance to our flag and to the Re- public for which it stands,” three hua- dred_thousand of these little patriots are Jews. lic schools in New York city found 64,605 children, and of 61,106 were Jew: The Jewish jidren honor their parents. In the poor houses.in your county or state you will not find a Jewish father or mother. They. are treated like a king and queen when they grow old and feeble. A Jow in New York organized the pure milk supply for babies. which reduced the death rate among little were these children from ninety-six to sixty-three| in_every thousand. -2 = Few of us know, perhaps, that a Jew gave the money to Columbus to make his discovery possible. This was Luis de Sanlangel. - A Jew 0 drew the maps which Columbus One of his officers was a_ Je . was his doctor and also his interpreter. The latter was the first’ to set foot on American 'soil.

Mr. Editor: As a native of Ulster, but a friend of Irish freedom, I ask space in your valuable paper. to- prove to Mr. Ringland and . ‘“Plain ts” that the land of the O'Neils and- the O'Donnells the Orris and the Mec- Crackins, is_a.part, and_anintegral part of the Emeral Isle. Rr. Ringland says Ireland is demanding not.equal- ity, but demipation over Ulster, a dis- tinet race. Now let us see what ds Ulster, and who_ is this distinct race over whom the Irish want to domin- ate? Ulster is the northern province of Ireland, consisting of nine coun- ties, Donegal, Derry, Antrim, Down, Armagh, Monaghar, Tyrone, Ferma- and Cavan. 1607 James T of England con- Ulster and In fiscated six counties of drove the Irish inhabitants therefrom, and parceled out the land to ‘Scotch! and English colonists known in the records of the transaction by the omin ous title of “Undertakers.” This flagi- tious piece of land plracy and robbery and extermination is kmewn i his- tory as the plantation of Ulster. The imported temants were obliged to swear that “they would not employ an Irish Catholic,” or let them come near them,” but the real Irish -came back and today out of a_total population in the province of Ulster of 1,500,696, 690,816 are Catholics. Yt must not be assumed that the Catholics alone are in favor of a free Ireland, for many thousands of Protestants are not only nationalists, but Sinn Fein. The names of Wolf Tone, Henry Joé MeCrack- en and Roger’ Casement, all ~Ulster Protestants, dre enshrined = ih “the hearts of all Trishmen. “Plain Facts” states that Ulster. re- mained loval to the allied cause. and volunteerd 80 per cent. of the Irish troops and but few volunteers came from the rest of Ireland.” Well let us see what the official (English) reports say. According to Lorn Wimbone's report to Lord Kitchener of January 14, 1916, there’ were 51,046 "Irishmen serving as regulars and reseryists in the British army in August, 1914. Ac- cording to Sir FEric Geddes, in. the house of commons, thére were up to 1918, 170,000 enlistments in Ireland. According to the statment of T. P. O’- Connor, M. P., after a statistical-sur- vey of conditions:there. were over 35~ 000 Irish boys ‘temperarily employed away from home who enlisted in Eng- lish and Scotch regiments, in 1914-15. According to _Lord Wimborne's report there were 8546 Jrishmen: in the Eng- lish mnavy. 7,000 eniistments. in ireland-.and -ao- cording to a most conservative esti- mate of the enlistments .

General Yudenich, who has so sud- denly come into the limelight as the man who may release Petrograd from Bolshevik rule, is one of the least known Russian commanders, though he- has long been murked as a soldier of note. Not long ago an acguaint- ance declared that Yudenich was en- | dowed with a tremendous strength of character and a will of iron. | “"He rendered signal service to his country while Russia was numbered among the allies, especially in the Caucasus during one of the critical pe- riods of 1914..

The wind blows spirally around and towards the region where the barometer is lowest, and at times the whole storm system ad- vances at between 40 and 50 miles an hour. They are beyond doubt the most dangerous of all the atmospheric dis- turbances the coming of which is sure- ly ferecasted by a rapidly falling barometer.

IN THE DAY’S NEWS Gretna Green. “Gretna Green seems about to revert once more to a figure of speech,” says a bulletin of the National Geographic society, commenting upon the London despatches which tell of the closing down of the vast cordite plants built there early in the world war. “To most Americans the words may never have meant much more than a nickname for any rendezvous of elop- ing cople, but there is a real Gretna Green. Twice has it been conspicuous among English towns, once when its chief industry was matrimony and again when, ‘as a wag remarked, it ytarted making a new kind of high ex- plosive. “Now like Hopewell, Va., it is about to sink into obscurity, with the end of its war contracts, which represented an investment of some $50,000,000 in our money and the employment of more than 6.000 workers. “Gretna Green is a village in Scot- land, tiny except for its munitions boom, less than a mile from the River Sark, which marks the England-Scot- land’ boundary Mne in that vicinity, near the Solway Firth, and about nine miles northwest of Carlisle. Upon its pramixity to the border line rests its first claim to fame; for the English marriage laws sent eloping couple to Scotland just as the divorce laws of some 47 of our states make Reno de- sirable for would-be divorcees. “Refore 1754 ¥ieet Prison was the figurative ‘Gretna Green’ of Engfand. Until that time the English law recog- nized marriages as valid so long as they were performed by clergymen of any denomination, but it imposed a fine upon clergymen who would per- form the ceremony for couples who had not proclaimed their intentions either by banns or license. “Such fines had no terrors, of course, for clergymen imprisoned in Fleet for debt, and some of them undertook to marry couples who wished to avoid the expense of the customary public cere- mony. Less scrupulous persons soon took advantage of this example, and tavern keepers fitted up_ places where they brought couples to be married by the ‘Fleet parsons,’ and in some cases young women of means were brought there forcibly by soldiers of fortune, and women of the underworld lured men there for marriage as an_ easy WITH.

Many famous Englishmen were married at Gretna Green, among them Lord Eldon and Lord Brougham, both of whom later became Lord Chanccll'e = and Lord Erskine, while he ‘#.s chancelld: Charles Manners Sutton, who after- ward was archbishop of Canterbury, and Lord Westmoreland and _Miss Child, the latter a daughter of the man who founded Child’s bank. “During the three decades when Gretna Green flourished, there were more than 7,000 marriages recorded there, nearly $00 of which were per- formed in 1855. the year before Scot- land enacted a law which made a three weecks’ residence a requisite to marriage. “Marriage by declaratw. still is le- gal in Scotland, and it is inicresting to note that our own marriage laws devi- ate from the English common law in respect to marriage, and the provis- ions of most states follow more close- ly the Scotch law in this respect. As in Scotland, every ‘state has made some provision for previous residence, obtaining a license, or registration, but there is the widest leeway permit ted for the form of the actual cere- mony. “Only seven years ago publicity was given the marriage of two young peo- ple at Cambridge, Mass.. who wrote their own marriage service and had it repeated to them by a justice of the peace, whereupon that official pro- nounced them man and wife thus, ‘Since you wish to unite in marriage, and have notified each other of the same before me and these witnesses, ! I now, by virtue of the authority vest- ed in me, pronounce you man and wife.” " STORIES OF THE WAR Fate Endangering Northern Russi; (By The, Associated Press.) A distressing picture of the fate awaiting the population of northern Russia at the hands of the bolsheviki, once all.allied troops are withdrawn, is painted by the delegation from the municipal and zemstovo organizations of the Archangel district now in 'En- gland. “The northern territory has done all it can” said P. Mamontoff, who heads the delegation, “to form its own army, but in spite of straining -every nerve, we have not the military force to ensure our safety. To leave. the territory at such a time, without as- sistance, means that the allies would be giving over the defenders of the territory, together with all its democ- racy, to fire and sword. As soon as we lose the allied support, the Bolshe- viki will bring up reinforcements for a strong offensive and we shall be crushed, “The Bolsheviki are well aware that we have supplies of foodstuffs which they are vitally iff need of. We have had a good harvest for the peasants, starved themselves to sow their fields, using garden grain for seed that they needea for food. They will not sur- render their déarly-won harvest with- out a struggle and that means a mas- sacre of the resisting peasants by the Bolsheviki. “Doubtless half of the peasantry will be wiped out. All of| political op~ ponents of Bolshevis 1l be destroy- ed, along with their women and chil- dren. That is why we.have come to means of compelling their husband- victims to pay their debts. “These abuses were checked by the famous Hardwicke act of 1754, which | U made unauthorized marriages voida- ble, and thereupon Gretna Green be- came the romance snot of the British Isles. All the Scotch was that two persons should declare their intention to be married in the presence of witnesses; and the British law then, as now, recognized mar- riages as legal €0 long as they con- formed to the laws in the places they were consummated. “At Gretna Green, as in Fleet Pris- on, were persons who exercised cupid- ity at the expense of Cupid; and inn- keepers, ferrymen, and tollhouse tend- ers exploited the couples who fled to Gretna Green. Any witnesses would have served, but the ‘professional wit- nesgses’ there, like the ‘marrying par- sons’ of some American towns, en- gaged ‘touts’ to bring couples to them, and_ when the railroad from Glasgow to Carlisle started running the station platform at Grean Green thronged with these obnoxious ‘commission men.’ “A pioneer of this unique industry as John Linton, formerly a valet to Sir John Gresham. described as a ‘man_of fine presence and manners,’ and another, a Mr. Beattie, was a per- sonable adventurer.
