TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER-CoST OF
THE WAR IN MEN AND MONEY
DEADLY EFFECT OF MODERN
GUNS-CHIVALRY ON SEA.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Cecil UnderWood)

The great European war has now
lasted about six weeks, and during
that. time the awful destruction Of
lives and property more than justi-
ties the pessimistic forecast of those
prophets who said it would be the
most costly as we'll as the most bloody
war SO far Waged in the history of
the world. 1t is asserted in London
and in Paris that up to the present
time fully one-half million of Ger
mans have fallen. And the reports
from Berlin indicate than an equal
nun' ber of Russian, Belgian, French,
Austrian and English victims is in
clu1ed among the slain Such is the
appalling figure-a million of men in
six weeks! The youth, the very flower
of all those lands flung under the
wheels of military Juggernaut! /
Monetary Cost.
A Belgian refugee now in England
informs me that a billion dollars
worth of property has been destroyed
in Belgium alone. In fact he is of
the opinion that even such a colossal
sum would hardly replace the ruined
property, for, aside from the destruc-
tion of farms, mills, factories, bridges,
tunnels, railroad stock, etc., whole
towns and villages have been given
to the flames. If we make similar
estimate for France land the destruc-
tion there is quite as great, if not
greater), we have two billion dollars
worth wiped out in the western theatre
OF war. Military operations in the
east have not as yet reached the same
destructive stage, yet it is safe to
say that Austrian Poland, known as
Galicia, repeats the loss in Belgium
So that three billion dollars will re-
main conservative estimate Add
to this the cost of maintaining the
various armies in the field Quite re-
Gently report came from Berlin that
it was costing Germany fifteen million
dollars per day to maintain her armies.
At this rate, If the scale be applied
to all the nations engaged, we must
add another billion. Nor is this all:
the naval account must be reckoned
with. For although no decisive naval
battle, has yet occurred, nevertheless
large number of ships went to the
bottom during the past six weeks
Hence it is probably a correct count
of the cost to place the figure in round
numbers at five billions of dollars.
Now let us suppose that Lord Kitch-
ener is right in his conjecture that the

The cornerstone of the old Cathe-
dral of st. Paul, which was blessed
by Bishop Timon of Buffalo on July
27, 1856, and placed in position in
presence Of the Right Reverend Bish-
Op Cretin, the priests of the diocese,
the pioneer Catholics and residents of
the then village of st. Paul, was re-
moved from its place on Friday, Octo,
ber 2. 1t is seven and one-half feet
long, two feet nine inches wide and
eight inches thick On the previous
day a stone of equal dimensions
which rested directly on it, was un,
covered and removed. A copper box
twelve inches long, six inches wide
and three inches deep, was found EN-
bedded in a cavity in the cornerstone
about two feet and half from one
end. In the upper stone there was
similar cavity which fitted over a
portion of the box that protruded
from the cornerstone itself. The box
was removed from it's place by Jere-
miah G. Prendergast of st. Paul, the
man who made it, sealed it and
placed it in the cornerstone fifty-eight
years ago. In addition to Mr. Prender-
CAST, Mr.. William O'Gorman of
st. Paul, who also witnessed the lay
ing Of the cornerstone, Mr.. John p.
O'Connor and Mr.. F. G. Norlander, the
contractor in charge of the wrecking
crew, were present when the box was
removed. When the upper stone was
taken out, the copper box was placed
in the cavity which it contained and
photograph was then taken with
Mr.. Prendergast and Mr.. O'Gorman
standing behind the stone. The real
cornerstone, as we have already
stated, was removed the following
day. These stones were the largest
in the building.

The Real Foundation Stone.

Many of those who witnessed the
laying of the cornerstone nearly three
score years ago thought that it rested
on the watertable of the southeastern
corner Of the old Cathedral and when
it was not found in that place it was
concluded that the cornerstone was, in
reality, what the Church's ritual for
the laying of cornerstone presup-
poses it to be, the first, the founda-
ton stone of the building. This prov
ed to be the case. The cornerstone
was the first stone of the old Cathe-
dral laid on the solid rock foundation.
Both stones have been taken to the
residence of the Most Reverend Arch
bishop and later the final disposition
will be made of them. 1t is not i'm
probable that they will be placed
either in the sanctuary or in one of the
chapeIs of the new Cathedral.

Greater Courage

The American marines who sac rifced their lives at Vera Cruz have been appropriately praised and honored for their noble sacrifice. We would not detract one whit from the well earned praise accorded them by their fellow countrymen. It is well, however, for us to re- member that not all the deeds of valor, not all the sacrifices for coun- try are made on the battle field.
 President Wilson gave expression to like thought at the ceremonies held over the bodies of the marines killed at Vera Cruz. For what he said he has been severely criticized by some. It may be that his form of expression for the thought was not the most happy possible, but if we look for the meaning really intended we can find little to criti- cize.
 It does frequently take greater courage to live for a cause or for one's country than to die for it. The man who stands for the high principles upon which our country was founded is often forced to stand with the few and to endure the scoffs and scorn of many of his fel- low countrymen, frequently harder to face than the bullets of foreign foe.
 After all the enemies who most threaten American Institutions and the welfare of the American nation are not to be found in foreign lands but within our own borders. The chiefest of these enemies are to be found at the head of our great in- dustrial combinations of to day. These great combines threaten the very life of the American nation. To face these and the other cor ruptors of our government often re- quires higher courage and a far superior generalship than is needed to defeat an armed foe.
 While honoring the brave sol dier defenders of our nations hon or let us not fqrget to honor the brave defenders of our land who
 meet those foes, of our country, who can never be entitled to com- bat on the bloody field.

Only Liberty May Bring Perma-
 nent Peace

Liberty, alone, can bring perma
 nent peace in Mexico. Any peace which may be established there without freeing the peons, can be but temporary. Before the peon can be secure in freedom, the land and the natural resources of the country must be wrested from the constituencies overlords and the special Interests of our country and other nations foreign to Mexico, and opened to the common people. History presents no instance where such a thing has been done except thru the uprising Of the common people. After the civil war in Colorado, even we Americans can not consistently claim to be able to establish peace so just az to make an end of rebellions. We have yet to complete the establish ment as equal justice to all, within our own nation. Let us ask for no peace in Mexico that fails to secure perpetual freedom 10 the peons.

establish peace there and ther

establish peace there and then turn the government over to the old ruling class of Mexico he would thereby merely have assist ed this class in re-subjecting the eighty-five per cent of the popula- tion of Mexico to their virtual slavery of old. He would assist in reinstating despotism and crushing liberty and human rights again to earth. Peace would be restored, it is true-to the sorrow of the mass es. We Americans claim to be the true friends of freedom but if we aid the old ruling class to regain control of Mexico we prove our selves its enemies instead.

Where War is to be Preferred
 to Peace

A good many people who have been contending that Uncle Sam should take hand in Mexico and peace have not stopped to hink whether it was peace for the ruling class or for the peons that they desire. Strange as it may seem revolution is preferable to peace-the old peace-to the Mex ican peon. If Uncle Sam should use the strong hand in Mexico and

Claw Enforcement Without
 Fear or Favor"

The above is the first plank which appears in the platform up- on which Dr. Hughes of Phoenix is making his campaign for the democratic nomination for gover- nor, against Governor Hunt. This is also almost the only plank which MT. Hughes is using in the campaign which he is waging. At least such is the impression being given out and the manner of cam7 paign work being done by MT. Stewart who was in Williams last Saturday working for Dr. Hughes. In talking to Mir. Hughes we >tried to pin him down to statistical evil dence with the results indicated below.
 MT Stewart stated that the Doc tor took up the race chiefly because of governor Hunts mistaken crim- inal policy towards state prisoners He objected in the first place to the governors putting prisoners to work on the roads on their hon or without over gaurds and thus permitting them to escape. We asked him just how many prisoners had escaped in this way without being recaptured and he admitted that he did not know as a single one had. Is it fair for MT. Stew art to go about blaming the gover- nor for letting prisoners escape when he does not know that such has happened in single case? Is 1t right for MT. Hughes to permit him to do so?
 | MT. Stewart stated that statistics showed that Arizona has larger criminal population in proportion to its population than any other state in the United States or than any other nation in the world. This condition, by inference he would lay at governor Hunts door. He was unpropared to say, however, that single prisoner pardened by governor Hunt had proved a re- =yeater." Neither was he able to deny that criminality in this state has decreased since governor Hunt took office, nor that most of the present prisoners had committed their crimes under territorial gover- ment. It is hardly fair for such man to go about blaming governor Hunts prison policy when he has no statistics to back up his state ments.
 MT. Hughes also favors capital punishment, according to MT. Stewart, for some crimes he knew l
 not just what crimes.
 If MT. Hughes wishes to make a fair and square fight it is up to him to show the facts and not per unit of his campaigners to go about makin g rash statements which they cannot support. If this cam paign is to consist merely in an appeal to peoples prejudice against new things, in this case against new system of correction for prisoners, he does not d.serve the support of any intelligent peo- pie. What the people want to know is what results the new sys- tenn is getting. If it is getting bet ter results than the old, then, i, should be continued. If not it would probably be better to go back to the old until a yet better can be worked out. MT. Stewart had absolutely no evidence to prove Governor Hunts policy any thing but successful. Such work as he is doing ought to act as a boomerang and strengthen gover- nor Hunt with the people.
