German-Austria has 150,000 of her sons there in captivity, whose only wish and thought is to return home. Why do not the prisoners return? Is it our poverty or our helplessness? Or is it the indifference of the human heart that has caused all the misery in the world? - You women of the world; think if it were your son, your brother, away out there among these unhappy men. Could you wait quietly until the peace is ratified? Could you be silent and let the time slip by? No, you could not do it, and you would not do it. Every one of you is guilty of this injustice if you do not do all that lies in your power to release the prisoners. Fill the world with your protests. Do not cease to compel, to demand, to plead, to warn ! ___ \ —Helene Scheu-Riess. ..

The sold has no pillow on which to repose so soft and sweet as a good conscience.—St. Gregory the Great. “So long as the, penal code remains we can never be a great nation. I would not keep two millions of my fellow-countrymen in a state of slavery. I desire not a Protestant settlement, but an Irish nation.” —Grattan.
