John R.ximond is apparently .sa
tisfied that tlit* so-called Irish con
vention is to lie i* failure. And
John Redmond is a professional
politician so he is not going to stand
by and accept the hurth n of that
failure himself, at least not willing
ly. He wants to pass it along.
It is an ancient custom in Ire
land to blame eve-ything on 'lie
unionists. They wt re held respons
ible for the evil? of landlordism,
for the evictions, for the several
things that might be used as stapp
ing stone- for a rise to national
confidence upon the part of the
aspiring parlianuntary party.
Things are different now That
difference is mainly brought about
by Sein Finn. And the chief differ
ence is due not to the unionist or
nationalist individualv or collective
ly, but to the general disrepute of
parliamentary politi- s and noliti
ri-.ns.
The convention was doomed to
failure. Only in a country whore
the most implicit confidence was
retained in the professional politi
cians could it have been successful.
It was not meant to be what it was
held out to be front the start. John
Kedmtnd knew it; Lloyd George
knew it. But they do not appear
to have known that the Irish people
unionist, nationalist, Sein Finn all
of them knew it as well.
It was meant to fool the people
tr a majority ot the people. But
the fact is that they could not get
by with. Hence the Redmond fret
fulness against the unionists.
It lias been one of the longest of
long suits of nationalist politics to
maintain in Ireland a deep, lasting
distrust between unionists and na
tionalist. Thereby th" fervor of
both was strengthened for the bene
fit of politicians. But the Sein Finn
organization, it it has done no other
good has compelled a realization
that they are all one people, with
different viewpoints, it may be, but
.-ill Irish just the same.
The United Irishmen attempted
the same thing: the Young Ireland
movement also endeavored to bring
this atiout — out toe clever manipu
lation of religious antagonisms
kept the two still apart. The Sein
Pinners however are more success
ful and their success, remarkably
enough has been brought about not
by exposing the error of unionist
ways, hut the cheap farce of the
nationalist party politicians.

News now indicates that in tier
many the masses are beginning to
revolt. There are signs not want
ing that they feel that they have
-mitered enough. The mutiny of the
•sailors and insubordination of sold
iers as well ns the complaints of
.the union laborites that their orga
•nizations arcbeing suppressed Indt
•eate that there is turmoil within, j
Germany has been like a solid
rock up to this to all her foes. The
lowest peasant and the highest
noble supported the Kaiser with a
unanimity of loyal sentiment that
was little short of amazing.
Within England, within France
and even within Russia there were
discordant voices. But within Ger
many everything was unity and na
tional solidarity. Germany's ene
mies affected to despise them fot
•this; the truth is that it compelled
reluctant admiration. It was marv
ellous although if its cause is to be
sought out there is hardly anything
admirable lo be found in it.
Most of the other nations in the
war were from a military point of
view unprepared. And they turned
with amazed and terrified eyes to
Germany as a rate of supermen.
American. Knglisli and French
newspaper writers with the super
ficiality of their class made un
friendly comment upon the German
marvels in industry, militarist orga
nization and technical conceptions
which helped to further the gen
eral notions that these were indeed
a race 01 exceptional people.
There was not one that recog
nized the fact that these things
were brought about by an intense
discipline. an intense education
along spe< itic lines, and an intense
energy that was tireless and per
sistent in its desperation of hard
work extending over a number of
years with one sole purpose in view
and one Day when the results of
that labor would be ultimately re
alized in the Sun of German great
ness and world supremacy.
Any man. community or nation
that sets out witli a distinct pur
pose of accomplishing one thing,
with that end and aim always in
view, at work, and at play, wita
that ■ end and aim the reason for
tireless labor that knows no remitt
ing, that man, nation or community
will do as Germany has done and
achieve as Germany lias aschieved.
The labor of those vears, the dis
cipline of those years, the roncentra
tion of those years bore fruit in tlie
success of Germany and in no single
instance was its overwhelming ’•enl*
more definitely to be seen than in
the national solidarity that German
displayed to an amazed and. be it
admitted, to a terrified world.
Vow when the war is preving
somewhat changeful and uncertain,
the discipline of the years begins
to wear off and things may lie about
the point when disintegration be
gins. The year 1917 has not been
replete with the striking victories
that marked tlie campaigns of 1916
The Verdun battle may have
brought the Germans nowhere, but
ft centered attention upon the de
termination, the vigor of purpose
and the gallantry of soldiers that
had before been everywhere victor
ious. The Rumanian conquest was
however glittering with the sheen
of brightest victory. Brilliant in
conception ant^ masterful hi its me
thod, the drive of Mackenzen’s
forces brought a year of victory to
a dose with unusual eclat.
This year it is different. There
j has been r.o Rumania. The small
gains in the Verdun sector were
not repeated on any field. Slowly
and almost insensibly the hosts
were driven bfAk by the Entente.
But they were driven back; they
t wore obliged to admit that they
were not invincible.
The promise of submarine victory
spaedily had to be postponed and
again p'stpor.cd. And in the mean
time within the confines of the
German empire insufficient food,
with strenuous effort gnawed
uneessassingly through the
armor of solidarity that
the years of discipline had en
cased the German people, high and
low rich and poor.
Even the Frankfurter Zeitung
is constrained to bemoan the soar
ing war cor-ts and to denounce the
fac t that lie soaring costs are acconi
panied by soaring prices and soar
ing profits that are crushing the \i
tals of the poor.
Willingly f r love of the Father
lard has Germany felt “against the
pai ns of h*r feet the heart of her
people's heart beating harder for
pleasure to feel h> t tread it to dust
and to death". But that required
an ecstasy of feeling could only be
c reated by a discipline of years and
with the ultimrte confidence of
undalloyed victory and unquestioned
future greatness.
As the war proceeds comes doubl
and with d ubt hesitation and win
hesitation the evanishing of discip
line and po.'ibly di-.integration
it is not unlikely.
It is not improbable that
when this war comes to an end it
will come from disintegration
amr-ng the nations parti -ipating in
it. It is a matter of profound his
torcal fact that no nation victorious
■ r vanquished but cried let-fore the
end “How leng. O. I-md How
. Loi’g!" Not even when those wars |
I were one of great and glorious and !
■ lasting achievements but did the j
peiple achieving them cry for peace j
j with the lunging that could not be j
suppressed.
We are tin refore fully justified
in expecting it among the nations
in this war also, for there has never
been a war so calculated to arouse
every sentiment of revolt against
the continuance of its barDar'.snj
- nd its inhumanity. Certainly in
dications are now clear that this
stage has at last bean reached by
not a few of the German people. It
is therefore only a matter of time
when it will be the dominan' force
within the nation and exert its; If
effectively upon the situation which
the German people have got to real
ize and to face in ‘he end.
