NEW IRISH LEADER
John Dillon, the newly-chosen Irish
leader, whose friends sometimes said
that he dictated the policies of John
Redmond, first entered Parliament in
1880, from Tipperary, at the age of
-9 years. He was a physician by
training but abandoned the medical
profession for a political career in
which he was closely associated with
Mr. Redmond during the closing years
of the latter’s life.
Retiring from Parliament in 1883,
he spent two years in California, re
turning in 1885 to be defeated as
member for North Tyrone, but being
elected in the same year from East
Mayo, which he has since represented.
Possessed of height and long limbs to
a degree to make him a conspicuous
figure, and presenting an air which
his associates have described as one
of melancholy, Mr. Dillon has often
stood forth as a spectacular orator
in his activities in the house of com
mons.
Early during the second year of the
•war he bitterly opposed the British
government's plan to raise an addi
tional 1,000,000 troops. He attacked
•conscription but finally agreed to con
form to the wishes of John Redmond
in not further opposing the military
service bill. Early in 1916 he de
ifbunced the government’s methods of
dealing with the Irish revolt and con
demned the executions. He made
motions in the house of commons
urging the government to disclose its
plans for the administration of Ire
land, declaring Ireland would welcome
elections on the home rule question.
On several occasions Mr. Dillon has
publicily criticized the British war pol.
icies, notably in connection with Ru
mania, Greece and the censorship. In
zn address in Dublin last December
he condemned the Sinn Feiners, de
claring they had alienated sympathy
in the United States for the Irish
eause. During the session of parliament
last year he was described as one of
the most voluminous talkers.

j GERMAN PROPAGANDA
Recent advices from Washington
P C., set forth the following facts:
An especially subtle type of Ger
man propaganda is in circulation.
On the Pacific coast it is aimed t<
stir up trouble between America am
Japan. On the southwestern bordei
between Mexican residents and ou
own people. In the South, betwee:
the negroes and the whites.
Above all, the continual attemt
is being made to work through th
churches in such fashion as to sf
j Protestant against Catholic. The at
. tempt is being made to show that the
' Catholics are obtaining control of the
government in Protestant territory,
in sections where Catholics predom
) inate, stories are going out that Cath
® olics are being discriminated against.
) Troubles between capital and labor
are being increased by the same
method.

' JAPAN SHOULD BE TRUSTED i
r -
f i
Should Germany get a foothold in 1
) Siberia either before or after the war i
every one of the present allies would
* be concerned. The time to prevent a
- calamity of that magnitude is now.
The Siberian revolutionists should be
given aid to set up a firm government
that will bo In sympathy with the
democratic states fighting Germany.
This government would be in a posi
tion to unite with Russia when an
archy dies down in what is left of that
empire. The Russians, unable to es
tablish a government at home, should
not object if Siberia were preserved
for them by the nations combatting!
Germany.
| The allied nations seem to be agreed
j that it is necessary to intervene in
I Siberia, but they are not united on
I the method to be pursued. There is a
j feeling in some quarters that the inter.
| vention should be participated in by
forces from each allied country. Those
who believe this course should be fol-i
lowed are led to it by the fear that.
! Japan can not be trusted to intervene ■
alone.
That is a wrong attitude to take to
ward Japan. The Japanese, so far as
pointed out, have never yet failed to
keep a treaty obligation. They arc
bound by an agreement with England
to keep order in the Orient. IE en- .
trusted hv the allies to go ahead and I
see that Siberia does not become a
German satellite there is no> reason
to think that they would break their -
trust and use the advantage to absorb 1
a part of Siberia into the Japanese em
pire.
The Japanese are a proud /ace.
They will greatly resent it if the al
lies show apprehension in tailing them’ J
to go ahead in Siberia. Conversely
they will be full of gratitude if the, .
other nations engaged in the war with 1
them display full confidence In the
Japanese and give them the mission
of intervening alone in Siberia.
The task of checkmating possible
German Siberian activities is pecul
iarly one for Japan to take up. None •
of the allies, not even the United
States, ean spare the men. ships, mun
itions and food that would be required -
to send a body of troops to eastern
Asia. All of the force of the allies
should be exerted in Europe.
All Americans who have faith in ,
the good feeling between Japan and
the United States will desire to see -
this government cement that friend- '
ship by a display of full confidence
in the integrity of the Japanese state.

HEROES SHOULD BE NAMED
_
Some news from France is exasper
ating, and proves that there are some
people giving out news in the war de
partment who have no idea of what |
the people want in the way of war j
l
news.
A dispatch from the front recently
told of the death of the first member
of the 1917 class at West Point. He I
died bravely, in the midst of the men i
over whom he served as captain, and j
he did deadly execution before the
■ Huns got him.
All of this was interesting, highly
» interesting.
I The trouble was it ended too soon.
, The people were only whetted up to
r know that brave man’s name. And
t for some reason that is inscrutable
this name was not sent. The people
t do not yet know who this man was,
b whether he hailed from Washington
t or from Florida. _
An American soldier was ontangle<
in the ibarbcd wire in front of thi
German lines, lixposed to the enetn;
and unable to escape, he proceded t<
right to the end. He had only twi
shells left when he was finally killed
He, too, is an unnamed hero.
When a man does brave deeds am
lives he stands a chance to be decor
ated.
Are these heroes who die to rcmaii
anonymous so that the American peo
pie cannot even reverence* their mem
ories after they have made the su
pre'me sacrifice?

Mayor Thompson’s wife lost a *5,001
diamond on a train. This is ofd stuff
but Chicago's executive can he ex

The Colonge Gazette says that Ger
mans in America who are not loyal t(
Germany are “dirty pigs.” It is bet
ter to be called a dirty pig in Ger
many than to be pronounced by t
judge a traitor here at home—and
safer for the neck, too.
