CUT OFF WITH $1,
 MAY CONTEST WILL
Lawyer for Robert Cabin of Detroit Here and Hearing on Paul Ga-
 bins Will Is Continued.

Robert Cabin of Detroit, Mich., is expected to contest the will of his brother, Paul Cabin, who died a short time ago at his home on Cherry street, this city.
 Paul Ritsze, of the firm of RitsZe & Armstrong, attorneys, of Detroit, ap- peared at the court of probate here this morning at a hearing on the ad- mission of the will to probate. He asked for continuance of two weeks and this was granted by Judge B. F. Gaffney.
 Attorney Ritsze did not state that his client would contest the admission of the will but this is surmised by those interested. When Paul Cabins will was offered for probate last week it was found that he had cut his brother, Robert, off with $1 and that the bulk of his estate was given for life to Mrs. Anna Kohler, who lived in one of Paul Cabins houses. The will stated that this bequest was made because of Mrs. Kohler's kindness to the testator during his illness.

 While in New York the president is understood to, have discussed the outlook for peace in Europe with Colonel E. M. House, who went abroad several months ago to investigate the situation for the president.

ALLIES MAKE GAINS
 IN WEST AFRICA
British Penetrate Puge River and French Occupy Ma
 kOndO in Kamerun.

London, Nov. 29, 12:40 D. m.-The new campaign of the Franco-British forces in the German colony of Kam- erun, western Africa, has resulted in further advances, following the cap ture of Tibati, announced last week. An official statement of today says that the Puge river has been reached and that the French have taken Ma kondo.
 The announcement follows:
 Since November 23 there has been considerable fighting west of Jaunde, where the Franco-British ex- peditionary forces, under Major Gen. eral Dobelle, are advancing success fully along the road and railway from Edea.
 "The British contingent has pene- trated to the Puge river and, further to the south, the French contingent has occupied Makondo Heavy losses have been inflicted on the German troops whose center of resistance is in the comparatively elevated area about Jaunde, where the government of the colony has been established.
 "In northern Kamerun organized forces of the enemy have been beaten and broke up. Small parties of fugi- tives are being pursued energeticaliy by the allied columns directed by Brigadier General Cunliffe.
 "The important French forces which accomplished a remarkable feat in African warfare by fighting their way across the German colony of Kamerun from French Equatorial Africa, also are approaching Jaunde from the east and south east"
 Jaunde is an island station of the Kamerun, 150 miles east of the Gulf of Guinea and 100 miles north of the border of the French Congo. Earlier official despatches said the German governo or general had concentrated a strong force with abundant artillery at that point and had erected a for midable defense works

GERMAN FEDERATION
MEETING.

On Sunday, August s, as an
nounced elsewhere in this issue,
the sixtieth annual convention Of
the National Federation of Ger
man-American Catholics will be
called to order in the city of St.
Paul. This will be a most impor-
tant gathering from every view
point. The Catholics Of German
ancestry in this country have ever
remained faithful and loyal to
their religion. They early began
to organize into societies, and the
great Central Verein is now
recognized as one of the most
powerful and influential organiza-
tions in the country. In 1895 it
numbered 548 local societies, with
an aggregate membership Of 49,
989 members. A reorganization
took place in 1901, and the local
branches were united in a state
society, and these "Staatsver-
bande" were then Incorporated
as a whole. The membership is
now well above the one hundred
thousand mark.
The Central Verein has ever
been the fearless champion of
Catholic principles, and especially
of Catholic education. The spirit
of faith and of loyalty has
always been conspicuous in their
work. As the former Apostolic
Delegate, Monsig. Falconio, said !:
What your society has done in
the interest Of Christian educa-
ton is truly admirable and an
example worthy of imitation for
all Catholics. =
With the .thoroughness char
acteristic Of the German people
these societies have ever aimed at
efficiency, and an uncompromis-
ing attachment to the Catholic
faith. Conspicuous among the
works of the Central Verein may
be mentioned the establishment,
in conjunction with the st. Raph-
Iael's Society, of the Leo House,
for the use of Catholic immigrants
in New York; the care of immi-
grants at the great ports; the
founding of the Teachers Semi
nary at st. Francis, Wisconsin
the promotion of Catholic educa-
ton throughout the country; and
the establishment Of a most eff
cient and up-to-date press service
that keeps in constant touch with
all events of Importance to Cath
olics.
We extend to all the visitors at
this convention most cordial
welcome, and a hope for still
greater achievements in their
chosen. field.

the world have been quoting the
Protestant bishop of Litchfeld,
England, who recently said in
reference to the anniversary of
Magma Charta, that he supposed
they all knew that the Church
played a great and noble part in
the drawing of the Magma Charta.
The undoubted leader of the
nation at that time was Stephen
Langton, Archbishop of Canter-
bury.
Does the good prelate think
that the Church that played the
great and noble part was the same
as the one in which he is playing
his part? Langton might well
have said: Arian / know, and

and on the other, budding pas
sions, desires, proclivities, and
general inclinations are all based
more upon sentiment, egotism,
and: love of pleasure, than upon
sound reason and common sense.
1t may not be too broad a state
ment to assert that in the average
family of today the boys and
girls assume practically all re-
sponsibility for their actions,
without relation to the parental
desires or mandates. The result
is that later on propriety and con-
vention take the place of moral
standard an action is wrong not
in itself, but because it is bad
form to be caught at it.

along such lines it typifes lack
OF argument.
Let us say once for all that
there is no such thing as Chris
tianity moratorium: a period
when Christian principles become
imperative. Christ lives and
must be followed today, yester-
day, and for all time. War and
the right of war rest on principles
OF the natural law. The fact that
one side may be wrong does not
abrogate the right Of war itself.
For a lengthy discussion of this
subject we would recommend our
readers to the article, War, in the
Catholic Encyclopedia, or to the
article, Is Christianity Failure I?
in the Catholic Bulletin, of Feb.
~, 1915.

DRESS AND DELINQUENCY.

Among social workers the past
few years the question frequently
has been raised as to whether i'm
proper dress has anything to do
with delinquency. Some persons
fail to see any logical connection
between dress and morals. There
is, however, a very close, even
if indirect, connection. The mat
ter has been summed up neatly by
Mrs. Long, head of the probation
division of the Juvenile Court of
Chicago.
Some one has asked she
says, eff the present mode of
dress has a bearing on delinque ncy
among girls. 1 believe it has
much to do with it. y = =
The great trouble of today is that
our girls are jumping from the
kindergarten out into the world.
"Where is the old-fashioned
school girl of yesterday, the girl
with the long braid and white
pinafore, the girl with the old
fashioned mother who consid-
cred her little girl a school girl

Parental discipline is very much
on the wane, as any one familiar
with school or college work can
easily attest. Many parents have
the idea, and act upon it, that the
child or youth is. fully able to

Watchwords Dangerous.

WatchWords torn from their sur
roundings easily give rise to error.
Because of color-blindness two indi-
Viduals call the same flower dark and
red, because of watchwords, they call
dark and red flowers by the same
name. Watchwords should always
be translated into their equivalents.
When the Catholics of Minnesota
had carried over Gov. Austin's
veto the Liberty of conscience
bill, they were amazed to hear that
Piux TX had condemned liberty of con
science in Europe. 1t took some time
to explain that while liberty of con-
science" was the watchWord here for
the right of the wards of the State to
receive the comforts of their religion,
in Europe liberty of conscience"
meant the grave error that man is
bound by no moral law. Now in the
letters of st. Paul works" or works
of the Law" or ito work" or mot to
work. is a Watchword. 1t stands for
those punctilious observances, prompt
ed by human endeavor, of the Mosaic
Law as interpreted by the traditions
of the Pharisees, which traditions not
only made it new law in extent, but
made it consist altogether in externals.
Works" therefore, or works of the
Law" stands for Pharasaism, and has
nothing to do with the spiritual or
corporal works of mercy, nay more, it

as Joseph and Mary performed them.
The whitening blight of works" in
Paul's mind was that they were con-
ceived as being able to wiring from
heaven blessings on wicked man to
justify him. (Rom. x. 81. Faith is
just the opposite. 1t stands for all
kinds of works prompted by the Holy
Ghost with firm belief in Gods truth
AS Abraham worked obediently, hop
ing against hope, because he believed
that God would be true to His word,
so the Christian offers his works to
God in the Holy Ghost holding firmly
that God, Who gave the pledge of His
Holy Spirit, guarantees the truth of
the whole story of the Redemption.
Moreover, the works of Faith are con-
ceived to get all their value from
Gods goodwill propitiated by Christ,
and that goodwill is guaranteed by
God, since He gives His Spirit to
enable the Christian to perform the
works. All this St Paul compressed
into that famous sentence (Rom. iii,
28): I'VE account man to be JUS
titled by faith, without the works Of
the Law"
