Late Making Christi
ania, First Stop
PLEA TO WILSON
MADE BY WIRELESS
Leader Warns Against Inac.
curate Accounts Of Trip
Peace Plans Complete.

From somewhere in the middle Of the
belligerent Atlantic the overworked
wireless operator Of the good and
peace-fled ship Oscar II found time
yesterday. between the sending out Of
salvos Of "Out OF the trenches By
Christmas. boys-never 20 return!" TO
fash back to Cape Race tidings Of the
storm tossed peace pilgrims.
All of these communications bore the
signature Of Ford. Briefly, they stated
that the Oscar II was still making
Roadway against the rough seas, but
would be at least four days late IN
reaching Christisnia; that Judge Ben
Lindsey had just made another speech
but had not quoted the ocean. and That
the plans for the complete smotheTng
of war in Europe we're all drawn up
and ready.
President Wilsoa also received
Fordigram, begging that he disregard
inaccurate newspaper accounts OF pro
ceedngs on the Oscar H." Mr.. Ford
did not discriminate as TO which press
reports were accurate and which were
not, but promised the Chief Executive
to send him dispatches from time 10
time as Mars became groggier and
groggier.
No information as to how the SPUR
rels are enduring the ordeal was con.
tanned in the dovelike twitterings Of
the wireless.
According to Mr.. Ford's personal re-
porting Of Judge Lindsey's address,
that worthy opined that love was more
effective in international politics than
military force. Since criminals had
always responded best to kindness, in
the judges experience, he believed that
this same sentiment would work Won
ders on warlike nations.
Bismarckian plans for the conquest
Of Europe have already been drafted.
These provide for a stay in Christiania
while special trains hired by Mr. Ford
bring those natives Of Denmark and
Sweden who desire a free trip to The
Hague, TO the feet of the peace apostle
When all of these have foregathered

Vermont Priest Accuses Admin
istration of Chicanery.
rBy Telegraph to The Tribun. J

Burlington, VT. Dec. 9.--At banquet
of the state branch of the Knights OF
Columbus, held at Rutland last night,
tn, Rev. W. n. Lonergan, rector OF the
Church of the Holy lnnocents, OF that
city. severely arraigned the admlnlstra-
ton for outrages committed in MeXlco'
He was vigorously applauded.
al call on all honorable men, ire
spective Of class or creed, to protest
agains. the chicanery, intrigue and
double dealings of those high in the
councils of the administration, Father
Lonergan said. Mexican questions " !
never be settled until they are settled
right. We demand for our coreligion-
ists in Mexico freedom of conscience
and freedom of suffrage, the same lib
erty we enjoy in the Republic. Moth
ing less will satisfy US, and we ask
nothing more.
This cannot be reasonably expected
from Carranza and his brutal cohorts
The murder of priests and the violation
of nuns is a poor guarantee OF either
civic or religious liberty. That these
outrages were perpetrated is verihed
and substantiated by the solemn oathss
Of archbishops, Monsignor Kelley and
Father Tier.,ey, two American citizens,
who spent weeks investigating the cruel
tortures and base abuses OF CHRISTIAN
men and women. Knighthood is yet IN
flower. and non-Catholic American
manhood will never permit the weak
and holy to be polluted by ferocious
fiends in human form"

HOW WOUNDS HEAL.
Natures Processes Play Large Part
In the Operation.

Natures Processes Play a Large Part
In the Operation.
Few people have any idea Of the
wonderful process by which wounds
heal. Stitching. dressing. ETC., are Inn
portant operations, but none Of them
can make good the damage or replace
the loss Of tissue in wound. This Is
the work Of our good friends in the
blood, the white corpuscles, the "scav-
engers," so called because they destroy
disease germs.
When a wound is made, a bone
broken, a nerve torn, etc, it is chiefly
by these corpuscles finding their way
out Of the blood vessels into the sur
rounding tissues that the injuries by
bullet or bayonet are repaired. The
union Of broken bones, nerves, skin,
ETC.. is effected by the corpuscles find
ing their way into the coagulated
blood which surrounds the injured
parts.
They throw ont what are called
processes" become fixed and join
each other. A new tissue is thus form
ed, which becomes endowed with blood
vessels. Fibers follow, and these serve
to keep the torn tissues Of the wound
In what is surgically called "opposi-
tion."
In this tissue, in the case Of broken
bone, bone salts are deposited; where
nerves have been torn by bullet nerve
1iberS grow, and SO on. These flberS
in the course Of healing contract, and
It is by that power of contraction that
the edges Of wound are brought to-
gether and united. .-P Parsons Weekly
