At the south end of the church is a magnificent rose window re- presenting the Promise of the Mes siah in Paradise"
 Another feature of the furnishings of the church worthy of special men ton is the stations of the cross which extend around the walls be- tween the upper windows. These are not paintings acording to the general usage but are casts in high relief on q gold background which. especially when the church is ar tificially lighted, cause the figures to stand out prominently. These statioN and the panel in relief are from the studios of the Andrew Calette company of St Louis. | All the woodwork of the furnish
 rgs and pews as well as the fix lures in the vestries are of solid oak in an antique finish. The en- tire contract for the woodwork was i placed with one firm, that of Theo- dore Kuntz of Cleveland, Ohio, and 1 the wisdom of this plan is evi- denced by the pleasing uniformity of the finish of every piece and the essential and artistic harmony of design.
 | At the south end is built a largo gallery in the center of which is 2 raised platform for the accommo- cation of choir and organ. This gallery. like the rest of the church | is finished in solid oak
 The stained glass is all from the studios of the Emil Frei Art Glass company of St. Louis, and taker | together or as individual specimens 1 the windows are of surpassing beau ty and of the most exquisite har- mony of design.
 It is safe to say that the most critical eye will not find a single note of discord in the entire church | inside or out. The fabric itself, its 1 furnishings and decorations form : { Harmonious whole which makes the i structure a fit vehicle for the wor- | ship of God and a striking testi- 1 monial to the skill and artistry o1 it's designers.
 The heating, cooling and ventilat- ! ing of the building have received al proper attention. The heating ant cooling are done from vents in tho floor and all the ventilators ar; controlled from a station in the wes tower. This arrangement is due to the skill of William Houdak
 Heat is supplied from a large banl of oil burning furnaces in the base ment and the cooling is done by means of a large motor driven far which forces cooled and washed ail through the cooling ducts. The en tire system was installed by Trin cano and Harrington.
 Particular attention has been paid 10 the lighting of the church whicf is all indirect. the light being re- flected downward All electric cir cults are controlled from a single switchboard in the priests vestrA and the wiring is in strict accord ance with the rules of the Nationa 1 Underwriters Association. The wir irg was done by the New Stat, Electric Supply and Fixture com rany and the fixtures made by F, Thoma. The subdued and yet bril- liant effects obtained by the re flected lights are pleasing in the ex treme
 At the rear a clostered porticC extends along the entire face of th' building and affords access to botl the Fathers house, to the basement
 and to the vestries. The choir an, altar boys entrance is also on thi. Dortico.

and ideals of Father Novatus were made real. To MT. Houdak must bo given no small credit for the ex- cellence of the workmanship. lie gave the work his closest atten- tion and brought to this work the wonderful ability which long expert ence in similar work had given him He at ali times in perfect harmony with Father NoVatus who offered many suggestions. and the com pleted edifice stands as monument to the perseverance,, attention to duty and excellent workmanship of Hou- dak.
 To NJ. J. Foley, John T. Dunlap, Edward O'Malley, J. r. Whitney and NJ. J. Ryan the building committee of the congregation the thanks of the congregation are-due. Their as sistance to the pastor lessened the load very materially. and it was T source of pride to them that the magniAcent structure was dedicated free from debt or obligation of any kind.
 In the raising of funds for the erection of the church no fairs or similar methods have been employed. and thls is an added source of pleas ure and pride to the pastor and con gregation
 The church has seating capacity of aoout 1000 including balcony which seats about 160. The base ment which has been used for many years will still be used as q place of worship. This has seating capacity of several hundred, and is well furnished.
 One of the results of the plans | drawn by Father Leonard is the
 magnificent porch with entrance at both ends. It is thing of beauty and adds greatly to the charm of the building as a whole Between

How The Orduna Escaped

II is not at all unlikely as Captain

Pitfalls for American Business
(From the New York SUM

II Or. p. r. Pratt, chief of the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com

TO part of a speech made before the
West Virginia Bankers Association,
his remarks prove that all the learn
ed nonsense in the country Is not ut

faculties. According to published re-
ports he said among other things:
I'm lending money TO European ma
tions we are enabling them merely to
keep up their wasteful warfare, and II
we continue to lend money to Europe
for reconstruction purposes after the
war is over we shall simply be build
ing up our most active competitor II.
however, this mouey Is lent to other
countries of the world, countries
which are not our competitors, but
which are our customers. and also
customers Of European nations, we
shall be strengthening them, and we
shall be strengthening the ties be-
tween them and ourselves.
There is no problem confronting
American finance which It is more de-
sirable TO solve tban the problem Of
making the most productive foreign
trade use, now ami IN the future, OF
the resources of credit and capital
which are accumulating in this coun-
try. War born commerce has been
stimulating a revival of cur industry
and general business. and the vast
accident Of the greatest war in his
tory is furnishing our bankers, mer-
chants and manufacturers with won
derful opportunity for the establish

basis OF enduring prosperity through
the promotion and maintenance of an
expanded international trade. The
problem is one OF so employing our

the war, that other nations shall be

The theory of Mr. Bryan that there
is no occasion for this country TO
worry over its unpreparedness for
war. that the United States could put
millions of men" in the field when
ever the necessity should arise, could
hardly find more conclusive refutation
than is contained in the statement of
the Marquis Of Lansdowne, made in
Parliament a few days ago, that Great
Britain today has only about 45U,000
soldiers" IN the European theatre OF
conflict, though the number Of men
under arms eXcosds three millions.
