Within year the order Of Sons of
Veterans in Wisconsin has taken on
much new life. Camps have been
started in score of cities, including
Kenosha, Racine and Green Bay, and
the Milwaukee camp, organized more
than twenty years ago, is rapidly adj

bers in Wisconsin AS there are more
sons than soldier fathers in Wisconsin
it will be seen that there is plenty of
opportunities for expansion of the or

fathers should have deep interest and
the most kindly feelings for the order,
and that the Grand Army of the Re

REBELLION VS.. THE CHURCH IN
MEXICO.

Each day it has become more and
more evident and more and more pro-
nounced that the trouble in Mexico is
not SO anti-Catholic as it is anarchis-
tic; not so political as it is adventur-
GUS, and not as anti-religious and
adventurous as it is purely selfish. The
leaders of the different factions have
in turn waged war on each other with
momentary success. The traditional
method Of becoming president of Mex.
leo has been by usurpation and the
measure of violence used to effect this
usurpation has always been in proper
tion to the resistance offered. AS the
days go by exposures of the political
situation give evidence that no party
IN Mexico is supporting or supported
by the Catholic church or Catholic
party. The leaders have disagreed
among themselves and parties that
have accused one another Of soliciting
the support Of the United States. have

WHY CATHOLIC WoRkMEN
SHOULD NOT BE SOCIALISTS.
Timely Treatise Published in Pamph.
let Form by Central Bureau.

Catholics, especially Catholic work
men, are frequently approached by
Socialists with the sophistical plea
that, since the Catholic religion is no,
at variance with some of the aims of
Socialists, there is no valid reason
why Catholics should not join the So
cialist party. The absurdity of the
contention is often hidden under a
mass of seemingly plausible arguments
which are apt to appeal to some who
are not we'll informed.
For their benefit, as we'll as for the
many who are interested in a study of
this question, the Central Bureau of
the Central Verein (Temple Bldg, St.
Louis, Mo-, has prepared a brief

100000 RESERVES FOR TEu-
TONIC ALLIES.
Resources of Fighting Men They Can
Draw Upon, According to a Ger
man Newspaper.

Misunderstanding to the COLOGNE
Gazette the combined strength of
German and Austrian reserves is 49,.
100000 men. There are 1900, 900 vol.
unteers in Germany and 100000 in
Austria, and recruits of the 1914 con-
scription of both countries 1000 900
each. This makes a total of 4,25O, 900
but, according to the Rhenish paper.
this estimate is altogether incomplete.
IN Germany, as in Austria, that por-
ton of the Landstrum which has not
yet seen any service is almost as good
as untouched, and, according to the
best authorities, this untouched Land
strum amounts for Germany to T.
100000 men. They are between the
ages of 20 and As. Already the vast
majority of these men have been reg
istered by the military authorities as
suitable. Only very small percent
age may be regarded as hardly fit for
the front, but they. are capable of
other military duties.
In Austria this untouched Land
strum is placed at 100000, making
100000 for both countries. If we
deduct 100000 from this total for
volunteers who have already been
counted We get total of 14,25O,OOO
as still available for active military
service, and if the age limit is raised
from As to so years and the limit at
the other end be reduced from 20 to
1S years, we obtain an additional g.
100000, which, added to 14,25O,OOO-
makes the grand total 100000.

DEATHS FROM WAR WOUNDS.

In the Crimean War, out of every
1000 of French troops 236 died by
disease and only Ga from wounds.
Among the English troops the CORE
spending figures were 179 and AZ, says
the Scientific American" Napoleon,
in the march to Moscow, lost two
thirds of his army, though he fought
only one general engagement. The
Russian armies operating against him
lost in the course of five months four.
fifths of their strength. The losses of
the Federal armies in the Civil War
in two years amounted to 53.2 deaths
in two thousand, of which only sc
were caused by wounds, the re.
mainder, 44.6, being by sickness.
In the Franco-Prussian war the loss.
es Of the Germans were 34.7 thou.
sand from wounds and only 30 a
thousand from sickness. This is ex.
planned partly by the shortness Of the
campaign (seven months) and partly
by the fact that the Germans were
able to send their sick home. In the
Russo-Japanese war the ratio of
death by sickness to death from
wounds was to 1 among the Rus.
slams and 2 to 1 among the Japanese.
AS for the present war in Europe, Sir
William Osler has made the following
observations:
II think this war will set new rec.
ord for low mortality among the
wounded. Formerly, with the best
first aid and hospital work, a mortal.
ity record of or 6 per cent of those
who reached the base hospitals was
considered creditable. Up to date
there has been but one fatality out of
more than 700 wounded who have
reached the base hospital at Oxford.

tional factor is being grievously
sinned against when such filthy and
dangerous publications are placed in
the reading room merely because a
few individuals request them, prob
ably with the very intention of aid
ing in the obnoxious agitation carried
on by that paper. 1t seems that sim
cere condemnation of such sheets
would better beft a Librarian than
weakened pandering to the wishes
of few persons with distorted imag-
nations.
Any Librarian desiring to take an
intelligent stand in an event such as
the one referred to could appeal to the
good judgment of the. right thinking
element of the population of any city.
Thus, for instance only four DAYS aft
er the letter quoted above was writ
ten, another letter was sent to the
Menace by the Postmaster in a
town in the same state. In this let
ter we find the following:
Editor of Menace,
Aurora, Mo.
Sir: You will do me the favor of
stopping your paper addressed to me

your publication is, but l think it is

and could not say more for one than
tor the other. Your paper is the
vilest sheet that have seen in print;
cannot imagine why such a sheet is
allowed to pass through the mails, and
in my opinion it should be barred
from the mails at once"
Can one imagine a more glaring
contrast than the action of the Lii
brarian and that of this Postmaster
as illustrated in these two letters.
which, as far as we know, have not
been published in the Menace?

ed people will side with the author of
the second letter.

The Catholic Fair and Supper.
If anyone imagines there is a
semblance of religious bigotry in
Princeton he should have attended the
supper and fair given by the Catholic
lens hall Saturday evening, Nov. IA,
and there he would have witnessed
scores of Methodists, Congregational
lists, Episcopalians and Lutherans, and
men and women who affiliate with no
church, sitting side by side with their
Catholic neighbors at tables that fair
ly groaned under the load of good
things for the inner man, laughing and
joking with each other and having a
genuine good time. The supper was
one of the best ever given on like
occasion in this village. The spacious
ladies of St. Edwards church at AL
hall was crowded with jolly throng
of people for hours, and the tables,
were set half dozen times. The
booths, where beautiful specimens Of
ladies' handiwork were on sale, were
also literally patronlzed.
One of the busiest and harpiest in
dividuals in the hall was genial Faith
er Willenbrink; he was here, there
and everywhere with a smile and
pleasant word for everybody.

in their efforts to serve and please all,

synonymous with religious strife and

Educational Mission Of Librarian Sad
ly Misunderstood.

A remarkable instance of lament
able lack III discrimination on the part
of the Librarian of Public Library is
evidenced in a letter now in the pos
session of the Central Bureau of the
Central Verein. The mission of the
Librarian is, if anything, that of a
teacher and guide, whose object it
must be not only to provide good
reading but also to judiciously pre-
vent the fostering, through reading,
of what is evil and dangerous. In
view of the sordid contents of the
Menace and the danger to good NOR.
ais and to civic peace which its con.
tents represent, that paper most as.
suredly comes under the head Of such
reading as a Librarian should either
discriminate against, or at least not
encourage. The letter referred to,
however, shows an entirely different
spirit. 1t is written by the Librarian
of the Public Library in city in one
of the States in the Middle West, and
reads as follows:
