THE PROBLEM OF PEACE
Bishop McGolrick of Duluth Speaks
Upon the Futility of Peace
Plans on Present Basis,

Speaking of the great internation-
al war crisis and the peace move
ment Rt. Rev. James McGolrick de-
31-Standard 8-5 L d M
clared that a peace movement must
be founded on religion and not ma
tionality.
"When we have movement for
universal peace that is founded on
union of religions instead of on
union of nationalities, it will not
meet with failure as now seems
probable in the face of developments
toward a general European wal"
declared Rev. McGolrick.
ga peace movement with religious
understanding for it's foundation
would bring with it the hearts of all
the people and blot out this so-called
spirit of nationalism to a degree that
men would refuse to obey their rul-
ers to gather by millions to fight, and
kill and butcher other men whom
they never saw.
"Patriotism that calls upon men
to fight to the last in defense of their
own homes and countries is COM
mendable and much to be desired,
but this spirit of racial hatred that
brings millions of men together to
kill and destroy is against the logic
of all our civilization.
"There are many of great religious
conviction in the present peace
movement, but what we want is a
peace movement actuated by the
spirit of religion and with religion
for its foundation.
''The great mistake of those be-
hind the present movement was
made when they refused representa-
ton to the pope, thereby knocking
out the very cornerstone of peace
and good will in these times Of
Christian teachings.
In saying it was mistake to ex-
clude the pope, am contending that
such representation should be given
to the leaders of all faith and upon
this basis the world will find it's
only successful peace movement.
'"This very war that now seems
about to come upon us, is the one
thing against which peace advocates
have been working for years. Those
heads of nations who are calling
their countrymen together for whole
sale butchery in a quarrel that is
actuated by selfish motives and not
for preservation are invoking an i'm
measurable responsibility"

rank, and it's one aim is an effort to
induce all French women to practice
their religion in face of the attacks
leveled at it and to encourage them
to be faithful to their duties as
Christians. 1t is primarily an asso-
citation of prayer, of devotion to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus, of reparation,
and of the propagation of the King
dom of Christ. The members are ex-
horted to take Goods side" in their
daily life and to be mindful of His
interests-in one word, to be apos-
ties. The league is also to be one of
United Catholic action, but resting
on the supernatural basis Of prayer.

WHITE HATS FOR SPRING.

One of the leading Partisan millincTs
is making a speciality of little hats COM
posed of pure white velvet or white
moire. These hats are deIiciOusIy dainty
and becoming. They have. as rule
narrow brims and these brims are quite
fiat. The crowns are supple and in
some cases domel exactly like the crown
of a mans bowler nat.
For trimming these little hats have
jaunty mount in fiamingO pink tipped
with black or a similar mount in tete de
negre held in place by an enamel clasp.
Or again. n white mOire shape will be
trimmed simply with a Elittcring butter

poised on supple wffes so that it may

hat carried out in soft white felt, but
this is more ordinary than white velvet
or moire.
With simple tailored suits OF navy
serge white moirc hats give a charming
effect and the white note may be con-
tinued in the chamois gloves and on the
rsiters of the little patent leather shoes.
English women are very fond of wearing
whit, chamois gloves which have i'm
portant looking gauntlets. Such gloves
are distinctly decorative. but the Pa

suitable for street wear. even at the

by JOHN n. OsKIsON.

Long time ago. In the late evenings
when the thunder rolled behind the
mountains and the Indians who lived on
the plains piled stones on the edges Of
their tepees to keep them from being
wind, the little boys and girls would
gather close to the old men and ask:
Why do the black clouds shout so?'
Then one Of the old men would say:
I'm not sure that 1t is the clouds talk
ing: perhaps Little Rabbit and the great
giant are about to fight
Tell us, tell u.s." the little ones would
cry; and then:
II anybody had wonderful magic in the
old days, 1t was certainly Little Rabbit
who lived with his grandmother in =
house just at the edge of the desert and
the forest. He could make himself into
anything he wanted to be at any time;
oh, he had good magic!
One day. Little Rabbit was walking in
the forest when he saw a tall giant. with
the thinnest waist you ever thought of;
and this tall giant was using a tree for q
walking stick.
'Ha!" cried the tall giant as he saw
Little Rabbit bobbing among the trees
just a tiny white speck. 'Ha! l must
see what that funny little white thing
is?" and he flung the tree he used as a
walking stick so that it fell across Little
Rabbit.
Now. Little Rabbit didn't have time to
use his magic just then, and the giants
walking stick killed him. When the tall
giant came up and saw how very small
Little Rabbit was, he didn't care even
to touch him; 20 he went on through the
forest.
That night. Little Rabbit did not come
home to his grandmother. and in the
morning she set out to find him. Far into
the woods she went, and at last she
came upon Little Rabbit lying crushed
The Washington herald., 1914-04-10

by the tree which the tall giant had
thrown at him.
"Oh. my poor Little Rabbit said the
grandmother. and she lifted him up by
! the ears.
As soon as Little Rabbits ears were
pinched by his grandmother. he came
back to life and sprang up as sound as
ever
And now" said Little Rabbit, 81
must go and get even with that tall
giant" So he started out by going to
the tallest tree in the world and saying to
that tree:
"win you please let me take you for
walking stick for a little while? ]
will bring you back and plant you just
as you We're" So the tree said yes, and
Little Rabbit plucked it up by the roots.
Far and far went Little Rabbit, who
had turned himself into a very great
giant, and at last he saw the tall gian,
at the other end OF a mountain. Loud
as thunder shouted Little Rabbit. and
the other giant answered: fast went Little
Rabbit, and as he ran he thumped on
the ground with the tallest tree in the
world which he used for a walking stick;
so hard he stamped and thumped that the
other giant could hardly stay on his feet,
and in the middle of the great mountain
they two met and fought such p fight as
was never seen before.
Terrible roared the voices of the tall
giant and of Little Rabbit! The earth
shook with the humping of their feet:
but at last, so good was the magic of
Little Rabbit. he was able to strike down
the tall giant and kill him. And II was
from the tiny bits of this tall giant with
the very thin waist that the ants were
made.
Afterwards. Little Rabbit took back to
its proper place the tallest tree in the
world and then ne went home to his
grandmother.
