SMITH BROS. : McHENRY, ILLINOIS I • Lloyd George does not agree with | George Washington in his comparisons j for Lloyd says "Rebels of Ireland your cause is identical with that of the South against the North in the United States." However, Lloyd does not enjoy the reputation that the father of Our country possessed in that no one ever said of the former "he could not tell a lie." "The United Kingdom 'of Great Britain and Ireland" always was a joke, for the strong arm of England was the only binding force that held Ireland to a blustering scoundrel that she always detested and with the best of reasons. The so-called Act of Union in the year , 1800, which deprived^ Ireland of her own parliament, was brought about by England's usual methods of bribery, fraud and intimidation. The famous Dr. Johnson, speaking to a friend before the union came into being, said: "Do not unite with us; we would unite with you only to rob you." JohnsOn proved himself a prophet for not even the man on his way to Jerijcho, who fell among robbers and was J stripped and wounded, was left in a | more pitiable plight than Ireland after a hundred years of "union" with England. Even English statesmen like Gladstone, who said "I know of no blacker or fouler transaction in the history of man than the making of the union between England and Ireland," and Fox, who characterized th^ union "as atrocious in its principle and abominable in its means," make plain the utter absurdity of comparing the union of the North and the South with that of England and Ireland. Even more difficult than the proverbial problem of a camel passing thru the eye of a needle is the process of finding honesty in an English statesman. Yet strange to say many people seem to believe whatever stupidity that would seem to justify England in her treatment of Ireland. Dr. Mahoney, in the Current Issue of America, divides people of his nature into the following classes: 1. A pro-English, anti-IriBh class, the lineal descendants of the Tories and Federalists, derived from social, financial and bureaucratic circles; 2. An American imperialist class, centered mainly in the great industries which uphold legitimacy in imperial exploitation, and 3 those who sincerely fear that intervention on behalf of the Irish Republic might be made a pretext for war by England. Continuing Dr. Mahoney says: "These pro- English interventionists complacently read of the daily arrival of fresh troops and more artillery in Ireland; they see parliamentary reports of alleged impending risings in Ireland, and they permit these British preparations and anticipatory excuses for the massacre of the unarmed Irish citizenry to pass without protest, while they clamor for intervention in Armenia and Mexico, lan^s rich in oil and minerals. When the supremacy of England, not even her independence, was menaced by Germany, these same pro-English interventionists demanded that the United States should fight to save England. They freely taunted this nation with cowardice. They required as a right that the common bond of American citizenship should sanction their racial appeal for aid in the name of liberty. When this right was contitutionally conceded to the Anglo-American, the Irish-American loyally responded with his life, but when congress, in the name of liberty, by recognizing the Irish Republic, constitutionally conceded this same right to the Irish-American, the Anglo-American responded with pro English intervention." What this pro-English intervention is Dr. Mahoney previously stated as follows: "It denies the existence of the Irish Republic before the Ameri can people. It ignores or conceals British atrocities in Ireland. It apposes or decries the voluntary loan subscribed by the American people to the Irish Republic. And by the neu jtrality laws it shuts off American mil itary supplies from the citizens of the Irish Republic,' to whom geographic isolation and industrial conditions have denied the weapons to defend themselves and their cause. But it leaves England free to obtain here on credit all the food, clothing and munitions which her army in Ireland may re quire. It excuses England from pay ment of the 500,000,000 now due as accumulated interest on the United States 4,000,000,000 loan to her. "In brief," adds Dr. Mahoney, "even with out the sanction of article X, the United States is now preserving the territorial integrity of the British Em pire by all the material strength of America, short of actual participation with American forces in the subjuga tion of the Irish Republic which con gress recognized." t--AtM thurscA*, aprii, e , dadys Brockwell -INMUTT & JEFF ^SATURDAY.

Schreiner, a hero of the late war, lies buried. The letter as well as the pictures were sent here from the national headquarters of the American Red Cross society at Washington, D. ,C.f and will be kept as sacred memories of the fallen soldier. The grave in which the former McHenry young man lies buried is marked with a cross bearing the number of grave, name of deceased and the outfit to which he was attached at the time of his death. The number of his grave is twenty-eight and the balance of the information contained on the cross reads as follows: George P. Schreiner, WagvCo. D, 139th Inf., U. S. A. The body lies buried at Ancemont, District of Meuse, plot No. This is near the vicinity of Verdun. Mrs. Christina Schreiner of this village, mother of the young man who gave his life, has expressed her desire of having the body taken up and brought home for burial. She signed card sent to this effect, which was sent to her from Washington, D. C., some time ago. We have not learned whether any more of the pictures were received by McHenry relatives of young men who died on the battle fields of France. However, if they have not it is only natural to presume that others will be similarly informed as were the near relatives of Mr. Schreiner.
