A WAR CLOUD IN EUROPE.

1t look as if European powers may
now have chance to try their hands
lat mediation. This time the United
States may sit in the audience.
London, July 26.-Sunday's devel-
opments appear to furnish new proof
that Austria is determined to make
war on Servia The possibilities of
"a general European war seem greater
than ever have confronted the present
generation.
The Serv.an reply to the ,Austro-
Hungarian ult:matum was an accept
ance of almost all the imperious de-
mands except that Austrian officials
shall participate in the investigation
and fix the responsibility for the anti
Austrian propaganda. Servla pro-
posed an appeal to the powers at The
Hague for settlement of that feature.
Notwithstanding this humiliating
surrender, which was more than
Europe expected of the little nation,
the Austrian government to-day gave
the Servian minister his passports,
which may be construed as virtual
declaration of war
Washington. July 27-Dispatches
from the American embassies at Rer-
lin and st. Petersburg tonight say
prospects for peace in Europe are
brighter than at any previous time
since rupture of diplomatic relations
between Austria and Servia.
Developments late to-day in the
German and Russian capitals, the dis
patches announced, were decidedly
favorable to an adjustment of the diff
ferences without hostilities. De-
tails were given.
President Wilson said to-day, in an
-swer to inquiries whether the United
States would try to bring about peace
in Europe, that he had not considered
the subject, but that the traditiona
policy of the United States was moi
to mix in European affairs. He in
tfmated that in the present crisis the
United States could do nothing.
LONDON, july 2S.-Announce
ment Of the declaration of war By
Austria Hungary on Servia came to
day almost Immediately after Ger
many and Austria had notified Sil
Edward Grey. the British foreign
minister, of the refusal to JOIN in 9
mediation conference.
It is assumed here that the efforts
of the European nations will now be
directed toward localizing the ares
Of hostilities.
Preparations for war proceeded

FOR WINTER In THE
COUNTRY

With the country preparing for the
| winter as the little ant and as the bee
we think it timely to say something
about it that others might fall in line
land enjoy some of the feast next win
ter that is always to be had after use
| mig a canning machine during the
vii one day not long ago and assisted
Mrs. Hood to get started with her
new canning machine. We canned
beans and some other things and
peaches as big as tea cups were can
ned, just the peeling taken off and
cut in halves, placed in the can and
the syrup added and processed. Gee!
but don't this make your mouth
water? Mrs. Hood has now on the
pantry shelves most every thing in
the fruit and vegetable line that will
grow in this country.
l was requested to go out to Gallo
way not long ago to get the people
interested in canning, and upon my
arrivals at Mr.. Henry Taylor's /
found half the people in the neighbor-
hood waiting to see and lend help
ing hand in the blessed work of learn
the canning machine. We canned
tomatoes, peaches and figs. All
were so carried away with the haste
that can be made in saving the many
good things that would go to waste
that all wanted to use the machine
at their homes at one time, and as
that was impossible ! think several
machines will be bought next year in
this neighborhood.
Miss Lena kahl out at Bush is do
ing good work with the canning
machine, having put up nearly 200
cans of tomatoes, corn and figs,
The people in the Bush ne:ghborhood
have good soil for fruit and vege-
table growing and l feel sure Miss
Kahl will cause the canning business
to spread out and be taken up up on
all farms.
| Mr.. Will. Galloway is doing good
work in the northern part of the par
lish with home canning machine
He goes from place to place and cans
up the fruit and vegetables on shares
and at this time Mr.. Galloway has
put up all told several hundred cans
lon tn little homef Gamer. He will
make a report this fall and every one
will know what can be done for a
little of nothing with canning mac
hine costing few dollars.
A machine will be placed at Floren-
willie in a short while and some good
work will be done down there.
This work of canning at home is
lone Of the best branches of work on
the farm, for the reason 1t saves,
what would otherwise go to waste,
for time when good eatables are
scarce.

POLICE MINSTRELS.

One of the most unique musical
organizations in the United States,
in fact the entire world, is the Police
Minstrels of New Orleans which gives
a minstrel performance entirely by
mem bers of the New Orleans Police
Department. Through the efforts
of this department, sum in excess
of $14, 900, has been given to charity.
Five years ago, when it was an
nounced that the bluecoats of New
Orleans would give minstrel show,
there was a great deal of the shak-
ing of. heads by the so called wise
once a mediocre performance VISA
looked for, but on the rise of the cur
tain the audience was literally carried
away by the talent of the policemen.
Not only were the costumes in keep
ing with a first class minstel troupe,
overlooked. From that time on, the
reputation Of the police minstrels was
made. 1t was shown that they were
not only first class policemen, but
entertainers of merit. The police
minstrels are now an annual event.
Each year the performance is gwen
for some charitable i,-titution or
cause.
Last year the police minstrels
branched out by going in for comic
opera. Superintendent of Police
James w. Reynolds at first was very
reluctennt in giving his consent to the
comic opera end of the performance,
but after some persuasion he finally
consented in putting on what was
termed burlesque of Gilbert and
Sullivan's tuneful opera "Pinaforc".
To say that the performance of Pima
fore was success would be putting
it mild. The men not only showed
that they possessed vocal ability of
more than passing merit, but could
act as well. The putting on OF
"Pinafore', brought out the talents
of Patrolman James A. 'Buttercup"
Burns, one of the largest men in the
police department. "Buttercup
Burns to-day is the best known police
officer in the United States. The
Pathe Freres Co. thought enough of
this tainted officer to send one OF the
operators to New Orleans and snap
the big policeman in some OF the
duIlCS. lO-udy Iulo A-AAA 40 oSAAAS .
flashed on the movie screen through
out the country, not only bringing
"Buttercup" Burns into prominence,
but causing number of flatter.ng
offers to be made for his service.
Superintendent Reynolds, is now
busy arranging monster perform
ance for this year, the proceeds to go
to the Louisiana AntiTuberculosis
Hospital for the maintenance OF
Camp Hygeia. In st. Tammany
Parish. It is safe to say that tie
Anti-Tuberculosis League VIII be able
to erect three or more cottages WITH
the money derived from the Police
Minstrel benefit. 1t is the ambition
Of Superintendent Reynolds to make
this one of the biggest events ever
pulled off for Charity. Arrange
ments will be made with the railroads
to run excursions into New Orleans
for the performance.
It IS expected by those in charge
of the Police Minstrels that large
delegation will attend the show from
st. Tammany Parish. The date OF
the performance will be announced
later. when tickets from cities and
towns outside Of New Orleans may be
purchs esed by mail, thus securing a
reserved seat

Handsomest Boat and
Best Accommoda-
tions Ever In
Lake Trade.
EXCURSIONS ON
WEDNESDAY, SAT-, sun.
Over Five Hundred On
Excursion Last
Wednesday,.

The Steamer Hanover made her
first schedule trip from New Orleans
Wednesday morning, carrying a pas
senger list of about 500 people. Cap
tain Hanover fo- whom RI. boat is
named, was in charge. with the ever
courteous purser, Mr. Willis, making
it pleasant for every one.
The Hanover is most delightful for
travel and is admirably adapted
for excursion purposes, being safe,
roomy and comfortable, handsome
ly furnished, and perfectly aawless
deck for dancing. On this trip there
were two bands that furnished ex-
5cellent music, one on the dancing
deck and one on the top or prom
enade deck, If a land-lubber may be
excused for naming these decks. All
on board expressed themselves as de-
lighted with the boat, and the seventy
orphans who were in the charge OF
Father Roth seemed pleased with
their trip.
The Hanover is now regularly in
the passenger trnde between Mande-
vile and New Orleans and will make
the "Wednesday, Saturday and Sun
day excursions special feture. The
low rate of SO cents for adults and
25 cents for children for the round
trip from Vaudeville to New Orleans
furnishes a great deal OF pleasure at
a moderate cost. Parties that are
usually accompanied with consider:
able expense on shore, il a band is
furnished, would be much more en-
joyable on the boat, at a per capita
cost of much less. It is not improb-
able that the young society folks will
give some of their paries or dances
on the Hanover. There would be
four hours to dance in during the
round trip between Vaudeville and
New Orleans, with good music, at an
expense of fifty cents each.
The Hanover will bring over fifteen
hundred of the Retail Grocers' AS
sociation ON August s, when they viii
give their picnic at Vaudeville.

Gets Damages,
but is 0usted from
Building by Owner

Whether or not Mrs. Myrtle southard
Silkett should sell candy, cigars and
tobacco in her store at Twenty-fourth
and Fort streets became such a lively
question between her and the landlord,
Jacob Gross, that the matter finally re-
suited in two suits in district court, after
Gross had attempted to oust the woman.
He alleged that when he rented the
store room to Mrs. Silkett, who was then
Miss Southland, Gross told her that she
should not sell confectionery or tobacco
as another tenant in the Gross building
had a business In those lines. When the
woman started selling such goods, Gross
remonstrances resulted in the filing of a
suit for $4,000 damages for alleged as
sault by the woman against the landlord.
She got verdict for S51.
Then Gross replied with suit to oust
Mrs, Southard from the building. A jury
found that she had been wrongfully de-
tanning the premises and she has been
forced to move out.

GIVES CHILDREN FREEDOM
Montessori System Does Not Harness
Youngsters to Conventionality.
PROF. W. N. HALSEY SPEAKS
University of Omaha Educator Be-
lieves students should he Given
Freedom TO Develop Natural
Propensities.

Mothers crowded The large home Of
Mrs. a. ID. Dunn Thursday afternoon TO
learn something Of the Montessori system
OF child training, as eNpcunded by Prof
Walter N, Halsey of the University of
Omaha and Miss Frances Todd. who
spent nlne months at the New York
Montessori school
Prof. Halsey said that the Montessori
system was opposed to anything that
savored Of method, discipline or conven-
tionality and advocated absolute freedom
for the child. The mechanical method
or study, the system of grading and the
fact that children are required to sit in
straight-backed chairs for a set space of
time. these things are all opposed to Dr.
Montessori's idea" he said. Adults
have a habit of expecting children to act
as they do, forgetting that they have
vista which children do not begin to
comprehend. God put certain instincts
and abilities into each child and sur
rounded him with certain environments.
These things will do more, for the child
than anything else"
Prof. Halsey advocated the self-activity
OF the Montessori system as opposed TO
the group activity Of the Froebel system,
and laid special emphasis on the neces-
sity of divorcng the child from social
environments. He said that Madame
Montessori gave the world new princi-
pie of education. Miss Todd, who is h
teacher in the public schools, gave @
demonstration of the didactic apparatus
in use in the New York school of this
method Among them are buttoning
frames. cylinders. blocks and discs, all
designed to teach something that may
be practically applied and to encourage
training of the senses.
An additional meeting will be called to
discuss the possibility of bringing di-
rectress, who has been trained under
Madame Montessori in Rome to take
charge of school in Omaha. Mrs Dunn
said that applications for thirteen chill
dren had been received already, only
children between the ages OF 21s and
being eligible. DIR. Grace Wightman pre-
sided at the meeting.

The Irish standard., 1914-05-30

this country, the attitude of the lay
man is more important than ever be-
fore. He is in position to deter
mine for himself the vast majority
of the questions which confront him
during life. In matters of govern
ment, politics and business, his
knowledge and experience with the
practical affairs of life make him
the superior of the theologian, who
is necessarily something of recluse
The Church authorities fully recog-
nize this and are the first to insist
that outside the domain of faith and
morals they have no jurisdiction.
The Catholic layman realizes this,
and appreciates the mutual respect
which can exist between learned
and pious clergy and a vigorous and
Independent laity, each acting within
it's own sphere, and each being of
benefit and assistance to the other.
Those outside of the Church, how
ever, seem to fail to understand or
grasp this situation, and this puts
upon the laymen of our time pc
culiar responsibility.
If we wish to keep pace with the
progress of the world, we must rely
upon our own efforts. The Church
has brought humanity to a point
where individual realization of con-
ditions, and individual effort is in
dispensable. We must take our part
as independent individual citizens,
devoted to the best interests Of our
country, in developing culture, edu-
cation, and the civic pride of all the
people. The Catholic Church is no
longer, and will not in the future be,
judged solely by the culture, learn
ing and piety of it's clergy. In this
material age, it will BIZ Judged princi-
pally by the accomplishments of the
laity, and there is thus placed upon
the laity much of the responsibility
for the final verdict.
