U. S. CATHOLIC VIEW OF WAR MODEL FOR IRISH

Dublin, July 12.—The pro-con-scription newspapers in Ireland hold out the American cardinals’ war manifesto as an example to the Irish bishops who oppose conscription. “What is good for American Cotholics ought to be good for Irish Catholics,” is the keynote of comment. The Irish Times says: ( “How petty and sordid, compared io this grand confession of faith, is the Nationals’ attitude toward the war. Admit, for the sake of argument, that Ireland has a bitter grievance. England has a thousand times greater grievance than the imaginings of the most fanatical Sinn Fiener. “By what plea of hatred can the Nationalists hope to convince the world that Ireland is entitled to sulk in the most terrific war human history has known.”
