Thirty-eight scouts marched in the
Memorial day parade yesterday. They
were nearly all in uniform, and
showed good discipline. The favorable
comments passed on the boys by
those who saw the parade would indi-
cate that the people were pleased
with the scouts appearance.
A very impressive Memorial day
church service was attended last
Sunday morning. at the Baptist
church, by over 100 boy scouts and
scout cadets. The boys formed in
line at Eighth and Main streets and
marched in double column to the
door of the church, where they halted,
opened ranks and stood at attention,
uncovered heads, while the G. A. r.
and Relief Corps passed between the
lines of scouts, large number of
whom were in uniform. Following the,
old soldiers. the boys marched In
to take their place in the section re-
served for them and thus paid their
respects to the heroes whom they
honor.
The entire service was most ap-
propriate and was carefully planned
and every boy present appreciated it
and left with a deeper interest in his
religious duties, undoubtedly.
Next Service June 10.

have already arrived and the Keokuk
boys will entertain them at this
special service for their convenience.
Rev. Neil. who will deliver the SER
mon, says that a patriotic service will
be arranged for.

WASHINGTON, June president
Wilson today suggested the advisable
ity OF withholding comment upon the
German situation for the present. Now
that he has the complete Official text
Of the German reply before him and
might be dangerous to make too wide
conjectures as to the exact nature of
the reply, he said. The president told
his callers that he was very hopeful
the reply could be completed so as to
go forward to Berlin very soon. It
was later understood that the re-
joinder would be enroute to Berlin
probably by Thursday, certainly not
later than Friday
Because the reply Is to be complet-
ed without delay, the president be-
lieves officials should refrain entirely
from commenting on 1t or outlining its
contents, as conjectunes regarding it
are cabled abroad Immediately and in
yariably cause trouble for the United
States.
The president said the cabinet today
discussed the note in its various
phases. The discussion was a liberal
one, he said, and each member gave
his views on the best manner of re-
plying
It is understood there has been no
real change In the situation as re-
suit Of the presidents conference. He
has in effect made up his mind as to
the general tone Of this countrys' re-
joinder. The questions raised by Ger
positive evidence that the administra-
ton has gathered, through the depart
iment of commerce and the collector
of the port of New York showing con-
clusively that the Lusitania was I'M
armed, win be presented to Germany
1T is expected that the president will
explain this to Count Won Bernstorf,
the German ambassador, when he re-
ceives him Wednesday in the white
house. The president never looked
better than when he received the
newspaper representatives today. His
color was excellent, showing the ef-
feet of his long outdoor rides and
exercise, which his physician, Dr.
Cary T. Grayson, has insisted upon.
1t is understood that be Is still
hopeful that way will yet be found
to secure German cooperation in the
plan to safeguard non-combatants and
Americans traversing the submarine
war zone.
The president said he has received
from every section Of the country
telegrams and letters endorsing his
original position on the German sub
marine situation. The general charac
ter Of these has already been made

Lay the jest about the julep in the camphor balls at last, For the miracle has happened, and the olden days are past! That which made Milwaukee famous does not foam in Tennessee, And the lid in old Missouri is as tight locked as can be: And the comic paper Colonel nnd his cronies we'll may sigh, For the mint is waving gsily, and the South is going dry! By the still-side on the hillside in Ken lucky all is still, And the only damp refreshment must be dipped from the Till. Nawth Ca'lina's s stately ruler gives his soda glass a shove, And discusses local option with the So'th Ca'lina guy. It is useless at the fountain to be wink full of the eye, For the cocktail glass is dusty, and the South is going dry! It is "water, water everywhere, and not drop to drinkl' We no longer hear the music of the mellow crystal clink; When the Colonel, and the Major, and the Gen 'ral, and the Jedge Meet to have little nip, to give their appetites an edge; For the eggnog how is nogless, and the rye has gone awry, And the punch bowl holds carnations, for the South is going dry! All the nightcaps now have tassels, and are worn upon the head! Not the nlghtcaps that were taken when nobody went to bed; And the breeze above the blue grass is as solemn as is death, For it bears no pungent clove tang on its odorific breath; And each man can walk the chalk line when the stars are in the sky, For the fizz glass now is fizzless and the South is going dry! Lay the jest about the julep meath the chestnut tree at last, For there's but one kind of moonshine, and the older days are past, The water wagon rumbles through the South land on its trip, And it helps no one to drop off to pick up the drivers whip; For the mint beds now are pastures, and the corkscrews hangeth high; All is still along the still.side, and the South is going dry!

the Knights of Columbus; they have passed it to others, circulated it, ap- proved it.
 Some honest men have read it and been sorely troubled in consequence. It seems unlike the Knights of Colum- bus they knew as honest men-yet would men dare publish such thing if it were untrue: if untrue would not the Knights of Columbus prosecute their defamers?
 What, then was the duty of the so- ciety to itself, to its members, to the host of men who were in doubt?
 Oral denial was necessarily limited; written denial was not received l y tho public press; submission of the cele- monies to non-Catholic committees in several cities did not reach the multi tude.
 Criminal prosecutions were then in- stituted, but alas, the public press gave but scant, if any, notice to such prose- cutions, although the libels were against the Catholic church and primarily against the Knights of Columbus 330, 900 men.

Refuting a Libel.

A pamphlet issued from the office of Supreme Secretary William J. McGin- ley of New Haven, will be distributed in Connecticut through the medium of the lecture bureau, under the direction of State Lecturer Rev. William A. Keefe, of Plainfield.
 The pamphlet is entitled Knights of Columbus vs Criminal Libel and Malicious Bigotry;" the introductory part is as follows:
 "Criminal libel and malicious bigotry as committed and practiced to injure the Catholic church and its members particularly the Knights of Columbus.
 "The truth and its proof regarding the spurious K. of c. oath of Fourth Degree oath"
 The Knights of Columbus was in- corporated in 1882 under a special charter granted by the general assem- bly, of Connecticut. It is a fraternal benefit society composed of Catholic men who under said charter in addition to providing an insurance system which is scientifically sound and admittedly the best, endeavor ito promote such social and intellectual intercourse among its members as shall be desirable and proper"
 Catholic men love their faith and would have all men at least respect it. The Knights of Columbus have worked to spread the knowledge of Catholic Truth and thus secure for their religion the regard of all honest men.
 The Knights of Columbus has now about 330,00 members, comprising men highest in public esteem, and respected by all who know them.
 They have the esteem and encourage ment of the hierarchy, cardinals, arch bishops and priests. They hold the regard of all non Catholic men who re- spect decent living and good citizen ship.
 And yet-there are those who would defame the Knights of Columbus, who would malign the men who compose it, who would libel in foulest charge this great society and its adherents.
 A most heinous, ungodly and un- Christian, yes, a murlerous and illegal oath has been widely circulated as the one required by the Knights of Colum- bus from its members. It is an attack against the Catholic church, a creation of Know-Nothings, A. F. As and their allies and successors.
 Bigots have read this foul libel and gloated over its expected destruction of

Letters From the People
School Conditions.
ditOT of The Nawc.

To the Editor of The News:
 Through your columns I wish to make known to the public the school situation in our center school. There have been more than 27O pupils reg istered in our school thus far this school year. The High school department has been inadequate for seating all of our High school pupils. In all of the other rooms with one exception there are from fl to AS registered. At this time our sch"ol is so cOngested that it is impossible to accept beginners at the opening of the Spring term. The school, which has the largest registra- tion at the present time will have con- siderably more next year on account of promotion made from the lower grades. It may be so large number that an- other teacher may have to be employed and another room secured.
 The nonresident tuition from the pupils from other towns will amount to four or five hundred dollars more this year than was received last year. This was due to the increasing of the tuition as we'll as an increase in the number of pupils.
 Some have suggested that the non- resident pupils be refused and thereby provide room for our own pupils. That method l consider impractical for several reasons: CD These pupils can be taught without any increase in the teaching corps; (2) The seating space thus provided would just make con- gested room for one more year, as we have worked under the past year; (3) The following year additional room will have to be provided and by that time the refused non resident pupils will have found accommodations else where and we will be out that tuition which at this time amounts to ten or eleven hundred dollars. should also like you to know that all of our nonresident pupils come unsoli- cited. By having additional space we could have more nonresident pupils and consequently a larger income, make our school better, and give our own pupils better advantages. Would a larger and better High school not be an addition to our town?
 think if two additional rooms were provided now, in the course of several years it will have proved a good invest ment, not only educationally but financially as well.
 I am writing this to parents es- peciallv to have them consider and de- eide what they consider best for their own children. Surely the best that can be provided will not be too good for them. Are you willing to have them attend schools congested more than at this time if you can prevent it !?
 In case more room is not provided some such arrangement as the following will have to be made: One room will have to be used for two classes, the first coming for a four or five hour morning session and the other for an afternoon session of the same length think that every parent should con- sider the matter carefully and decide what is best. Will every one do his part to help the School Committee to solve the problem
