for wsr with Bervla, and when Russia
arrayed herself on the side of Scrvla
and declared war against Austria, Ger
many In honor bound came to tha aid
of Austria. England, Jealous of Ger
many'a great mercantile navy, and
France rankling and sore from tbe
sound thrashing aha got from Germany
In 1870, thought they saw their oppor
tunity to humiliate the German empire
and allied themselves with Russia and
Uolglum, taking advantage of the situ
ation , did likewise."
Hs paid a tribute of honor to tbe
Irish people at home and In this coun
try for the stand they have taken In
refusing to take up arms agnlnat Ger
many to fight for a country that rob
bed them of their kingdom and has
held them In bondage for nine cen
lurles and scored the Rrltish govern
ment In suppressing newspapers In
Ireland which showed sympathy with
the Germans. He also severely criti
cized President Wilson In permitting
arms, ammunition and the muultlons
of war to be shipped from here to Eng
bind, and prohibition shipments of
same to Germany. "Mr. Wilson." he
said, "claims to be descended from the
urdy IrUh Presbyterians who came
to his section of the country before the
revolution, on account of English ty
ranny, and who afterward were In the
an of Washington's army, but his con
duct in this war makes him untrue to
Is blood. His present policy Is to
aid England, the nation that during the
civil war here upheld the men who
hold their knives to the throat of this
glorious republic, while the blood of
German soldiers ran In the rivulets
on southern battlefields that this na
tion might llvo." Tbe German cause
Is Just and Germany Is bound to win."
At the close of the program Santa

fruits of tbe Christmas tree, and then
refreshments were served, after which
a social hour was passed In music,

Freight Beats Mail In
The Molalla Country
There has been much complaint dur
ing the last few months concerning
mall service in the Molalla district.
The Molalla Pioneer has found it nec
essary to advance its publication date
one day so that the papers may be
delivered the same week they are
printed.
In the last issue the Molalla Pioneer,
commenting on the situation says:
'A man living a few miles from Mo
lalla had two letters mailed to himself,
one from Chicago, the other from Mo
lalla, the two got to him the same day.
Shipping bills mailed In Portland when
freight is shipped, do not reach us un
til after the freight Is delivered. When
In a hurry we can send a letter by
freight to Portland and beat the mall.
Papers mailed here Friday get to the
Aurora routes on Monday. Some have
told us they do not get it until Wed
nesday sometimes. We will be com
pelled to try it a day earlier. Every
body help us.
"We believe that some mail changes
will be made which will remedy the
present rotten condition."
