SORROW is ruthless but it seldom comes with less regard of scope than, in the visit made to the Mr. and Mrs. dvard Phelan family yesterday. Thejoss of a son and brother after nineteen months in his country's service; not fallen on the battle lield; but returning home as if to die, here but a week, the victim of pneumonia contracted before his discharge, falls like the hand of fate. Add to this the accident of Sunday, incident to the rush of the family to be at the bedside of the dying son and brother, resulting in serious injuries to the young man's sister, indicts that fate of more cruelty still. The News-Times takes the double occurrence much at heart along with the Phelan household. Sergt. Walter A. Phelan is the first and only one of the twenty-seven from The News-Times force entering the world war, to surrender to the grim reaper. He had come back, his old job awaiting him, calculating after a week of rest, to return to work this morning. But no! He is taking a much longer rest; sleeping the sleep from which the sleeper awaketh not in the flesh. His star of blue has turned to gold; perhaps not of the hue that radiates from the battle field, but none the less gold ;hat was true in allegiance to the nation's cause. The sister, Miss Ethel, also of The News-Times staff since her brother joined the army, in her grief and pain again enhances our sympathy and enlarges our concern. No braver, more cheery little girl ever lived than she as she lay there on the operating table, undergoing the replacement of her fractured shoulder-bone, smilingly thoughtful, not of herself, but of mother and of brother. But why waste further words in an effort to express what the emotions alone can feel! Ethel will recover. Walter's trials arc over. He has joined the immortal millions; entered upon that future readjustment of life's forces the everlasting task of God's eternities.
The Encyclopaedia Britannica says about the manufacture of smoking tobacco, " ... on the Continent and in America certain 'sauces' are employed . the use of the 'sauces' is to improve the flavour and burning" qualities of the leaves." Your smoke-enjoyment depends as much upon the Quality and kind of flavoring used as upon the Quality and aging of the tobacco. Tuxedo tobacco uses the purest, most wholesome and delicious of all flavorings chocolate! That flavoring, added to the finest of carefully aged and blended burley tobacco, produces Tuxedo the perfect tobacco "Your Nose Knows."

Rev. J. N. Greene Declares Irish Catholic Church is Behind Policies of Sinn Fein.
Declaring that the Irish catholic church was body and soul behind the .Sinn Fein attitude. Rev. J. N. Greene, at the evening services of the First M. K. church last night attacked bitterly all sympathizers of the Sinn Fein movement, and declared himself against the dangerous policies of a self-seeking ecclesiastical regime. Before the sermon, a short musical program was given which was enjoyed ly a lare a.ttenda.ncs. His sermon follows in part: "Sinn Fein, while a political movement in Ireland aiming to disrupt the liritish empire and secure Ireland a separate existence, has in reality become a tool in the hands of the Iri.-h Catholic church to dislupt the British empire and place Ireland under control of the Irish Catholic church, in spite of the most vigorous protest made by the protectant clement of the island. Ireland is a little land divided into four provinces, Ulster, Lelnster, Munster and Connought. While Ireland as a whole is overwhelmingly Catholic, the Province of Ulster is overwhelmingly Protestant. It is from Ulster that the great protest comes against the Sinn Fein movement. Ulster contains forty per cent, of the area of Ireland and has about one-thiril of tho population. It is the moet progressive portion of the inland having vast manufacturing' interests. Its Protestant population is largely Episcopalian

Interests. And industrially she sees that under such a state her Industries would suffer from heavier taxation than is now required in her relations to the British empire. Hence Ulster is opposing Sinn Fein with all her power and believes that her interests industrially and religiously He in maintaining her present relation with the British empire. Accuses Secret Ielliigs. "What right has Sjnn Fein to ask any sympathy from America or from the allied wprld? Let her record be the answer. These arc the facts. Sinn Fein both before and during the world war had secret dealings with Germany looking to the betrayal of England to Germany. Bernhardl in urging Germany not to fear war with England paid England in case of way would have an enemy at home to keep her troops busy so that she could not send any great armies to fight Germany. He referred to the Sinn Fein element in Ireland. He was a prophet, for England, because of the treachery of Sin Fein has been compelled to keep a standing army in Ireland all through the war. Again, Sinn Fein bitterly fought England's policy of conscription, which policy when applied here in America was submitted to without protest from our loyal citizens. Sinn Fein pledged her followers to refist the conscription even unto blood. A typical utterance was this: If England attempted conscription tomorrow this we would say, we would sooner see every man In Ireland dead on the hillsides of Ireland, than dead on the hillsides of Flanders. Another appeal was that every means be used to prevent enlistment in the British forces, on the theory that this would reduce the fighting force and as one openly declared, 'make the path smooth for the approaching conquest of England by Germany. Sinn Fein stands convicted of treason against England and against the ailed cause. She fired on American sailors in the streets of Cork. Says Catholics Helped. "Moreover, the Irish Catholics church lined up solidly with the Sinn Felners in this attitude of treason. An appeal to the churches was sent out signed by every Catholic bishop in Ireland, asking the priests to instruct the people to re

four times as many men to the front as did Ireland and England on the same basis sent twenty eight times as many. "New we are asked by a propaganda being pressed in this country to choose between England and Sinn Fein with this record. I am not here to make an argument in favor of England, but .there are some rthings which we in hee gratitude must not forget. We must remember that England places a human will before the advancing gray tides of Huns, and helped France to stay the tide that would have engulfed not only France and England but America as well, thus saving civilization, and it did i$ through three long bloody staggering years before America could even hear the death cry for help. We must remember that England kept the powerful German fleet bottled up in th north as useless as a heap of old Junk and saved the coast nations of Europe and our own America from the ter rible devastation that would have been wrought, had the German navy dared to sail the seas. We should remember that despite our prejudices and her mistakes, England is a benefactor to the world in general and to America in particular. And as the blood her" sons shed will make the poppies grow redder on Flander's fields, so her sacrilices should cause our gratitude to grow brighter and fresher as we realize the greatness of her service to us and the world. Sinn Fein Proves Traitor." "When asked to take my choice between this England loyal to liberty and humanity, and Sinn Fein, the proven traitor in the tying hour of the world's need, I say 'give me England.' We should not forget in the midst of the Sinn Fein propaganda vhich confronts us, that when England was fighting with her back to the wall and the nations of Europe were bleeding to death, and all the rest of the civilized world was railing to the defense of civilization, this Sinn Fein stood off not only crying 'Ourselvers Alone,' tut actually plotting with the enemy for the ruin of the allied cause.
