Two or three times, the Star has
remarked on: the inconsistency of
Americans becoming angry to hear
music written by such famous Ger German
man German composers as Handel, Beethoven
and Wagner played in public. Now,
we wish to say we think it would be
mighty good policy, and also show
good taste, if not patriotism, for
Americans who like to hear German
music, to refrain from having it
played in public until the war is over.
It makes a good many people angry
to hear it to them it seems a bad
accompaniment to the crash of ex exploding
ploding exploding shells and torpedoes that kill
our" soldiers or sailors every day.
When one loyal American does some something
thing something that hurts or angers another
loyal American, he hurts our common
country and makes its enemies glad.

her crippled son Walter, was a pathe pathetic

Mrs. Ford and her son were in bed
at the time of the raid in adjoining
rooms of the second floor of a four four-story
story four-story house in a long block of sub substantial

appears to have hit the room close to
the partition wall dividing the Ford
house from the adjoining building. It
shattered the roof and upper floors,
which gradually collapsed with part
of the wall.
The heavy beams and brick wall
fell through the building, enveloping

and her son. They were thus impris imprisoned

second floor collapsed under the

St. Patrick's Blessing
The following blessing is found in
the life of St. Patrick. The words are
particularly beautiful and are said to
have been imparted by St. Patrick to
his chosen people from the hills if
Tipperary, as he bid them farewell
after his seven years of preaching on
the banks of Suir, the Blackwater,
and the Lee:
A blessing on the Munster people
Men, youths and women;
A blessing on the land
That yields them fruit.
A blessing on every treasure
That shall be produced on their
plains,
Without any one being in want of
help;
God's blessing be on Munster.
A blessing be on their peaks,
On their bare flagstones,
A blessing on their glens,
A blessing on their ridges.
Like the sand of the sea under ships,
Be the number of their hearths;
On slopes,' on plains,
On mountains, on hills, a blessing.
