Founded here in 1898, it has ex-

| few members in Ely to twenty
seven states of the Union embrac-
| ing every city where enough of the
Slavonic nationality and religious
belief can be gotten together to
form local branch of the order.
From humble beginning with a
membership of about 400, its benz
fcent influences are felt by about
10000 members and their i'm
mediate loved ones. placing thous
ands of people under its direct
jurisdiction and benefits. This is
an honor not usually vouched as
the smaller cities and our people
are Justly proud of the organiza-
ton, feeling for which much
reason exists.
In the year above mentioned, a
few Slavonic citizens of this city
met at the old Catholic church
building and organized the St.
Cyril & Method and Sacred Heart
Societies with membership of
nearly four hundred. From this
small beginning has grown the
present organization, with a mem
bership of over 10, 900. After the
organization, the growth of the
membership was so rapid and the
society so successful that in 1900
| it was incorporated under the laws
of the state of Minnesota and today
stands as one of the most solid
beneficial societies in the country
doing an immense amount of good
to it's members both in a pecuniary
and fraternal manner. The or
ganization is now known as the
South Slavonic Catholic Union and
embraces many Catholic Slavonic

The Union has as it's fundamen-

benefits for it's members, and both

Both life and accident insurance
are handled. Life insurance is
given members in the.sums of $500
| and $1,000; accident cestihcates for
$500 and sick benefits of $500.
The annual business of the or
ganization now totals $120, 900.

The assessments are based on the

Who Are the Wise Men?

Editor kennebec Journal:
| Let them come forward and inter-
| pref these times that are making his
| tory so rapidly the mind is lost that
| attempts to grasp and fathom the
| meaning, or TO pierce the near future
| and reveal what it has in store for the
| human race. Man being so shortsight-
ed of himself why shall we not at
tempt 70 read the signs of the times
from the prophecies of scripture !?
Have the scriptures become SO diluted,
with mems doctrines and traditions,
with the religious commercialism of
the age, that our faith in the prophe-
cies is smaller than the mustard seed?
Daniel declares in the 18th chapter
that in the last DAYS the wise Cor
teachers) shall understand the times
reading the tranSpirinG events from
the faith and knowledge acquired from
a correct reading and Interpretation of
the scriptures of Truth. We would ln-
quire where are the wise of this day
who are to understand? They must
be righteous" for tho same prophecy
declares that the wicked shall not uu-
derstand. Christ himself declares and
advises all to watch" i'll these DAYS.
He says, What | say unto you | say
unto all, watch. Wherefore should We
watch" unless there are to be unusual
events marking the times? He also
says, when we see these things. you
may know the time is at hand, even
at the doors"

In Face of Peace. War Preparations

In the face of the American Presi-
dents activity in the work of bring
ing about world peace, we see such
evidences of the warlike spirit and
preparation as might cause the most
optimistic to falter. Italy and Tur-
key at it. hammer and tongs; China
in the throes of revolution, and rum
blings of possible conflicts in other
quarters. The war budgets of the
great powers will provide multiple mill
lions for offense and defense.

All q naval expansion scheme provid-
ing for the expenditure of 500, 100000
Is being considered The seven year
program is again to the fore. An Of
fetal report of the hundreds of mill
lions the greatest taxpayers of the
world will have to find in the future
to supply the country with ships and
guns places the amount at 500 ,000-
900 The admiralty has mind TO add
to the navy seven 90,00e-ton dread
noughts and two dreadnought cruisers,
and desires the Diet to appropriate
270,0oO 600 ven, or s1S5, o00,O 600, therefor.
Another huge sum will be appropriated
for minor cruisers and small ships.
Baron Salto. minister of the navy,
brought before the cabinet council last
year the necessity of charging the
naval program and intimated his de-
cision to relinquish his portfolio if this
we're not done. The proposal was not re-
jected, but laid aside. This attitude
has now been abandoned, and recent
~ the authorities have shown a unan-
imous determination to increase the
amount annually spent on naval ex-
pansion. It has been decided in cab
met council 10 supplement the amount
