St. Francis Church Has Interesting
 History.

St. Francis church of New Haven, erected in 1867, has an interesting his- tory. which was reviewed in g. New Haven paper Friday afternoon and people as Rev. James J. Smith, former pastor of St Mary's church, is pas tor of the St. Francis church and has achieved much since he has been in New Haven. Following is a clip ping from a New Haven paper:
 Rev. James J. Smith, the present pastor of St. Francis, assumed charge in May, 1911. Father Smith came to St. Francis after most successful pastorate of 13 years in St. Mary's, Norwich, and he immediately entered upon the work of his predecessors with great zeal and enthusiasm. Since his advent to St. Francis Father Smith has endeared himself to his people and eXerts a most powerful influence for good not only in the parish over which he presides, but throughout the entire community. Through his efforts the rectory has been thoroughly renovated throug ghout, the church beautified and equipped with electricity, the large parochia1 school remodeled, a notable improvement being the addition of fire escapes also the erection of a large beautiful convent, up-to-date in every respect, and one of the finest of its kind in the city.
 Shortly after Father Smiths arrival at St. Francis several church societies were organized, a branch of church work to which the pastor has espe- ciaily devoted himself. Probably the most prominent and largest society or eanized during Father Smiths time is the Holy Name, the senior having a membership of 325, and the junior total of 300. The Immaculate Concep- tfon, though organized previous to Father Smiths advent, is very active, having a membership of 275, as is the Children of Mary with 220 members. The Ladies Sodality also figures prom inently and St. Anthony's guild, which is the means of an immeasurable amount of good throughout the parish has 40 members, all of whom are en- thusiastic and active workers,

more than 40e* pages and every phase
of the strike is considered.
Neither the, mine owners nor the
strikers are held EHsponsible for con-
ditions. Both. are held Jointly respon-
sible and are urgedsto "get together"
and settle, all the differences.
The president's action in sending
rfederaE troops intossthe strike region
is heartily commended.

HIGH FEVER AND DELlRIllN ON WAR PROBLEM

spite Of the fact that we have had
more wars with her than with any
other nation, no sane man will saw
that there is now any danger Of at
tack from her. Public opinion rules
IN the British Empire, and it has
been growing more and more friendly
for a generation. It cannot be con-
-ceiVed that this public opinion will
call for aggression against us for a
generation to come. If the growing
sympathies between our peoples were
not sufficient safeguard, the ex-
haustion of the war against GERMANY
and Austria will force Britain to seek
the ways of peace for a: long time
