The latest group of documents selected by the United States Government from the von Igel papers for publication bear heavily vpon Irish societies and individuals shown to have been actively en- gaged before last April in pro-German conspiracies that violated the spirit of American neutrality, It is only natura) to infer that in pyblishing this part of the von Igel collection, particularly in connection with the von Bernstorff communication which so pointedly recommended the Irish in America to the kind offices of the Imperial German Government, the Gov- ernment of the United States is preparing the way for a formidable indictment of Irish pro-Germanism, the activities of which, since April, have been contributing aid and comfort to the nation’s enemizs, In such event, the true American Irish ought to be the first to come forward and demand a separation of the sheep from the goats, It should be made clear that the overwhelming majority of Americans of Irish birth or descent are NOT represented by Daniel ¥. Cohalan, too long, it now appears, a Justice of the New York State Supreme Court; or by Jeremiah O'Leary, of the American Truth Society (so-called), who publishes a periodical too seditious to be admitted to the mails; or by John Devoy, editor of the Gaclic American, and paid agent of the German Government in securing support for Sir Roger Casement and his revolution. In his effort to escape the damning finger of that “very secret” telegram to be transmitted to Berlin, Cohalan ra\ the ery that “a grave error of judgment is being made by thoso who attack the loyalty of citizens of Irish blood.” Who attacks such loyalty? On the contrary, what is the Government doing but seeking to clear true Irish loyalty of suspicion cast upon it by Irish plotters and conspirators whose professed feelings for the honor and safety of the nation did not deter them from outraging its neu- trality, and who show themselves only too ready to let their sym- pathies pérsuade them to sedition. Loyal American citizens of Irish blood; or Pro-German Irish, plotting and scheming under cover of the Stars and Stripes? Let the former themselves take up the Cohalan challenge. Let them demand a line-up and a test.

She smiled as though she spoke in Jest, but Mrs. Jarr real- ized tt was @ dig. Anyway, Mrs. Rangle wanted Mrs. Jurr to under- stand that even tf Mrs. Jarr did toady to the codfish aristocracy, such as Clara Mudridge-Smith and Mrs, Stryver, who were always cold to Mrs. Rangle, the Rangles were just as good as the Jarrs, for, after all, Mr. Jarr was only a man on salary ind Mr. Rangle was that much, at ‘east. Mrs. Jarr affected not to perceive the dig, Really, as she afterward told Mr. Jarr, the only way to keep such people as Mra, Rangle in their jplace 1s to igngre their ill-bred tn- nuendoes, “Never make the mistake of get- | ting into an argument with your’so- jelal inferiors,” Mrs. Jarr would often ‘say, “If you raise your voice at them | they raise theirs back all the high | But raise @ calm, inquiring eyebrow }and they falter, bewildered,” So Mrs, Jarr raised a calm, inquir- tng eyebrow, and, sure enough, Mra. | Rangle faltered, bewildered, The cul- |tured eyebrow 1s the chief asset of | supertority of the caste of Vere de Vere. Mrs. Jarr had been born a |Grimshaw, one of tho old Flatbusn | families, but the Grimshaws were of the caste of Vere de Vere, Ask any- body in Brooklyn. fo, after the cultured eyebrow had Jeubdued the now faltering Mrs, Rangle, Mrs, Jarr remarked tn well modulated accents: “Oh, Mr. Jarr gan stay with that firm. He couldn't very well refuse to do so—that {s, in honor, after'—— But here she discreetly paused, And, although Mrs. Rangle, now | curious as well as overawed by the superior polse and savoir faire of Mra.

But Mrs. Jarr remained silent and serenely aloof. Hence Mra, Rangle could hardly wait to rush away to tell old Mrs, Dusenberry that Mr, Jarr had had his salary doubled and had been taken into the firm, al- though she, Mrs. Rangle, had prom- ised not to tell, Old Mrs, Dusenberry, who had no caste prejudices, told It to the trades- men, where it had a most substantial effect, A word in season ts most effective, but silence In season 19 doubly s0, For, as Mrs, Jarr said when she learned of all this, “Even if it isn't fo, one gets the credit for it!” Which is true in more ways than lone. on Sept. 24, 1870, it was an- that the negotiations for peace between Julva Favre, repre- senting France, and Count Bisinarck, Frotn cent. 24 years ago to-day, nounced spokesman for Prussia, had failed, and the Provistonal Government of National Defense at Tours issued a note of defiance calling upon the peo- ple to rise and "fight to the bittor end: When the news of Sedan resched Paris and Was wunvunced in the dae : _ sembly, Jules Favre declared for \\ the establishment of a republic.
