THE NEW COLUMBUS.

Vilhjalmar Stefansson, the report Of
whose recent discovery of new land
in the Arctic regions has now been
officially confirmed, is native OF
Manitoba, Canada. Like many an
other famous man he was brought
up on a farm, and while lad in his
teens he enjoyed for four years all
the excitement that comes from he
ing a cowboy. But great as was his
liking for outdoor sports he also had
a great desire for academic know
ledge, and after spending some time
at the state university of North Da-
kota, he continued his education at
the state university of Iowa, where
he took his A. b. degree in 1903.
The next few years he spent in
Cambridge, Mass, first as a student
at the Harvard divinity school, then
at the graduate school. In recogni-
ton of his scholarship along certain
lines young Stefansson was made as
sistant instructor in anthropoogy at
Harvard university. and it was under
the auspices of that institution that
he undertook an archaeological rX-
pedition to Iceland in 1905 This
followed a private expedition to the
same island made the previous year.
From that time on the Canadian
has been known to the world as an
explorer First came his 1906 eth
biological expedition to northern A,as.

B0UQUETSFOR
ARDM0RE|TE
AND F|REMEN
BOTH DID THEIR DUTY TO THE
PUBLIC, SAYS DR.. J. F. YOUNG
AUTHENTIC STATEMENT O=
FACTS.

81 never have been what might be
termed a very warm admirer OF Tne
Ardmoreite," stated DR.. j. f. Young
this morning, but my hat is off to
The Ardmoreite and everyone con-
nected with it for the manner N
which the news of the greatest dis
aster in the history of the state has
been handled Everything one read
in The Ardmoreite regarding the dis
aster was absolutely correct, so far
as it was possible for human beings
to get the facts, but so much can
not be said of other papers who at
tempted to cover the story.
THE people of the city owe debt
of gratitude to The Ardmoreite and
the men who compose the force. The
story has been most admirably han
died, and the question of authentic.
ity cannot be even remotely ques-
toned. The Ardmoreite and | are
friends from now on, and | feel that
this is the sentiment of the general
public.
Continuing further, DR.. Young
said: The people OF the city should
feel proud of the fire department.
With flames roaring all about them
and the danger of another big tank
exploding at any moment, not a man
faltered. but stuck to his post. Every
one a hero. OF course it is the duty
of a fireman to stay where duty calls,
but how many persons are there who
could hold their nerve in the face of
impending disaster, and with one
chance in a thousand for their lives?
Had the second tank exploded not
fireman would be alive today. Know
ing this, they did not falter,-taey
took that one chance in a thousand
and won.
"Ardmore has fire department to
be proud of"

the four-year Arctic expedition made
under the auspices of the American
Museum of Natural History, and geo.

this expedition that Stefansson re
ported his discovery of the so-cal|ed
blonde Eskimo, tribes of whom he
found on both sides OF Dolphin and
Union straits and in the neighborhood
of Coronation gulf.
In June, 1913, Stefansson sailed
from Victoria, British Columbia, as
commander of the Canadian Arctic
expedition, for four years explora-

IBERIA and the north pole.
While not engaged in making dis
coveries on land and sea this enter
prising young man-for he is only
35-has given considerable time to
delivering public lectures and writing
magazine articles particularly for
journals of folklore, philology and
geography. And in his earlier days 1t
is recorded of him that he was at
different times a school teacher,
newspaper reporter and city editor.

GERMAN FLOWER GROWERS
HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTIES

Berlin, Sept. 29-The war has
brought great difficulties to the flower
growers og Germany-but also great
opportunities. For years France and
Italy have been the chief markets for
cut flowers, and even the duties i'm
posed by Germany have not protected
the native merchants.
At the recent annual meeting of the
various gardening associations all
through the empire, it was resolved to
ask the government to make special
efforts to keep out of Germany during
the coming winter any cut flowers that
might otherwise find their way in, via
Switzerland, from either France or
Italy.
Belgium, however also grows flow
ers in great quantities. The flower
growers therefore decided to urge on
the government duty to protect them
against competition from this quarter,
after agreeing that it was urgently
necessary.
The members of the associations
represented agreed to undertake to
decorate the graves of fallen soldiers
through volunteer donations of flow
ers.

HER VICTORY.
CBy A. Dunlap

Torn by the breath of disaster
Shattered by cruelest fate
Scorched by the merciless fre-iend,
Stunned and laid low at the gate.
Death walked abroad-and destruction
ton
Ruthlessly winged through the air,
Sorrow and tears were her portion,
Horror, and walls of despair.
But when the terror had passed her
Leaving her wreck-strewn and prone
Brave hearts. ana hands more than
willing
Came forth to her left alone.
Out Of the gloom and the darkness
Hope everlasting was born,
Healing the ones who must suffer,
Comforting those who must mourn
Out Of her tear and her anguish
Up from her terror and pain
once more her brave heart shal
triumph.
Ardmore shall rise up again.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY OBSERVED
Rev. D. J. Mountain Heard in Eloquent Address-The Faith Inled by St. Patrick the Foundation of the National Characteristics of the Irish Race-rsh Brains and Irish Brawn Have Added Strength to Every Free Country.

Rev. David J. Mountain of New York
 who is one of the two assistants to Rt. Rev. Mgr. John E. Burke, director general of the Catholic board for mis- sion work among the colored people, was the St. Patrick's day orator at the service held Wednesday evening
 at St. Patrick's church where the con- gregation that completely filled the body of the church listened with close attention and great pleasure to the eloquent address upon the theme of the evening.
 Members of the First division. An
 cient Order of Hibernians and of the two ladies' auXiliaries, had seats re-
 served for them at the front, having
 met in the basement of the church and marched in a body just before the beginning of the service
 Deep down in the hearts of every one of us, said Rev. Father Mountain
 in his opening words. is a feeling that we all know, but that baffles all
 description. It is found alike in child hood and in old age. We cannot de- fine it, but we call it love, and love is the strongest motive power in the world. Next to love of God, is the love of country, the love of the land of our birth, and for this the Irish race Is singularly distinguished.
 He spoke of the antiquity of Irish history, running back till it is lost in fable. yet no matter how far back TunS- at no period IS SnOWn IIldJ the Irish were savages or barbarians. They were always an intellectual peo- pie, great even in their organism, be- fore the coming to them of St. Pat rick, but it is the faith that he in
 stilled into their lives that has been
 the foundation of their individual and national character.
 It was the thought of the thousands
 of souls dying in India that inspired
 Francis Xavier, and it was the thought
 of pagan Ireland that inspired Pat rick to devote his life to missionary labor for that people. It was a mighty moment in his life when he was able,
 after many years of study, to step upon that islands shores to bring the light of Jesus to Ireland.
 The preacher vividly described the
 success which attended the preaching
 of St Patrick, making his passage through Ireland one of triumph and
 giving him to see what no other mis-
 sionary has ever seen, the conversion of an entire people without the she'd
 ding of a drop of blood. For 30 years he labored until the land was studded with churches schools and convents. Wonderful as the Irish had been in their organism, they were still more wonderful under Christianity, and Ireland became the land of wealth and Irish men went forth as mission | aries, her priests carrying the light o1 Jesus to other people.
