"The Irish people," Mr. Redmond continues “know and'apprecinte the fact fully that at last after centur- ies of misundersflanding, the demo- cmcy of Great Britain has finally and irrevocably decided to trust them and give them back their na~ tional liberties. “During the long discussion on the Irish problem in Parliament and on the platform we promised the Brit- ish people that a concession of liberâ€" ty would have the same effect in Ireland as in every other part oi_ the Empire, notably in recent years in South Africa; that dissatisfaction would give way to friendship and good-will, and that Ireland would become a strength instead of a weakness to the Empire.” A JUST WAR Mr. Redmond then goes on to speak of the war, saying: “It is a inst war, provoked by the intoler- able military despotism of Germany.

' A SEPARATE IRISH BRIGADE “We have a. right to claim that Irish recruits for an expeditionary force should be kept together as a u-nit, and oflicered, as far as possible by Irishmenâ€"to form, in fact, an Irish brigade, so that Ireland may gain national credit for their deeds and reel, like the other communities of the Empire, that she, too, has contributed an army bearmg her name in this great struggle." With the formation of an Irish bri- vzade for service, Mr. Redmond asks that the Irish volunteers be put in a state of efficiency as speedily as possible for the defence of the coun- try.

Ser- The following article on the Ger- man Emperor from a phrenological po-int.ot view is particularly striking ,in view of the fact that the descrip- ‘tiou of the weaknesses and charac- ‘teristics of ~the Kaiser" ,‘which TMr.‘ Stackpool "O’fiell' the well kn'own thdpp“ bhne‘dqlogist gives, ,was writ- ’ten elghte’edgéars‘ ago, when he made 1ins first study of the Emperor’s lhead. Since then the conclusions at lwhich Mr. 0’ Dell. arrived haVe been ‘aniply borne out by the Kaiser' 3 acts. The head of the German Emperor is below the average in sxze. Conse- quently the strength of mind mani- fested does notgoriginate in the size of.His Majesty‘s head. The strength comes more from the activity of his brain, in conjunction with the m0- tive temperament. The direction that the activity takes is in accord- ance with the predominating facul- ties. One of these to be observed is that of self-esteem. READING BUMPS [IN KAISEH’S HEM] I should infer that this faculty is not alone strong, but active; in fact in such a state of activity‘ as. to prevent the other faculties from ‘hav- ing their due share in thecouncils of the mind. When this faculty _becomes unduly excited, even a small head and inferior abilities can make a good appearanceâ€"can even at times deceive the ordinary observer, and lead him to believe in the existence of much where there is but little. From the formation of the Emper- or's head, I should conclude that the possessor would honestly believe that he had special powers, that he was in a special manner an ambas- sador,from Heaven; and if he should ever take it honestly into his head that his mission is to subdue the world to his rule, and authority, he will endea VOX‘, regardless of conse- quences, to obtain the submission of even the strongest nations, feeling confidence in has Drvine authority. 'I‘q suggest such ideas and to help him in their turtherance the whole line of Hohenzollerns will be constantly at his elbow. HAD A BRAIN STORM His excessive self- -esteem, while it may be a danger to other nationali- ties, is also asafeguard for it may lead him beyond his natural powers. The supernatural, like the Witches in “Macbeth,” may laugh at him when his calamity comes. The siza of his head is also opposed to any deeds of greatness. Apart from his position as Emperor, he may be recognized 'by those who pay him sufficient hom- age as a kindly, sociable man. E E E E E I To this phrenological study of the German Emperor’s head, made eighâ€" teen years ago. Mr. O’Dell has added the following remarks, apropos of the present war: The quarter of a'million brain cells of which he is in possession, 1 should suppose were in a constant state of friction, fear and ambition. Being opposed to each other, they would be likely to produce inflammaâ€" tion in the regions of self-esteem nd cautiousness. For years his mind‘vhas been in a onstant state of fear from many causes, especially in the direction of Socialistic progress and Socialistic political power; also the denuncia- tion of war and many demonstrao ti0ns for International Peace. It is now recognized that great crimes are committed under the stress of what is known as brain storm. The brain of the German Em- peror is exceedingly sensitive and emotional. This has been noticed in his various speecnes, addresses, ser- mons. and other communications. The feeling of brotherhood is exâ€" tending over the army of Germany. and he knows it. It is a source of Year, causing him to conclude that the soldiers are not to be trusted to fight as ‘in olden times. If we are correct in our estimate, this state of the psychological con- dition of the German people and sol- diery suggests the probaliility of a revolution, the fear oflwhich may be one of the chief factors in bringing this war to an end.
