ENGLAND'S ACHILLES' HEEL.

Writing about Germany and Ireland in the 'Nineteenth Century,'' Mr. Walter Sichel, whose name is wellknown in the field of history and biograpny, says that all who would view Ire'and through German glao»os should turn to Professor Schumann's queer brochure, "England's AvhiKo-hecl."' It reflects and summarises through history, rhetoric and psychology, and tho subtle propaganda wliica ha* long been sappmg parts of Ireland. "In this war.'' remarks the professor, "Germany is not only fighting for existence, but for the freedom of the seas, and, in case of conquest, /or a liberated Ireland. Let every IrL-h heart and hand, each Ir sh penny., strike for Germany. American Irish, h"kl your»clvi» in readiness." frying his finger on the map, he single- cut Bi-rcharon as the te-'.-po : nt, and the emiih-^e«t coast as decisive of tho world's destiny.

Th it is another pa-sage from f>. professor's beck: and though v.e tuvc blind be-

fore, we can see clea'ly enough now bow the Germans fomen'od ihe Irish rising, and what " !1 important part in their plans for world-dom oaten it was intended to play.
