FOR AID TO CONTINUE
Contributions and Donations Needed

main Open.
Children Of Poor Mothers Compelled
to Go Out for Days Work
Are Cared For.

That the numerous and heavy de-
mands made on Washingtonians by
reason of the urgent necessity for re-
lief work in Europe have caused such a
falling off in contributions and dona-
tons for the support of the day nur-
sery conducted by the Alley Improve
ment Association that the trustees are
confronted with the impending neces-
sity of closing the nursery, is the
statement of Rev. J. Milton Waldron,
president of the association.
The expenses of the day nursery,
Rev. Mr.. Waldron stated. are betrayed
out Of voluntary contributions, the in
stitution having no other means of sup
port. Receipts have been SO small since
the outbreak of the war in Europe, he
said, that unless the public comes to
the aid Of the association and con-
tributes for the support Of the day nur
sery it will be impossible to keep the
nursery open much longer.

a block or two of the nursery are a
number of alleys and courts that can
not be surpassed by any in the city for
crime and disease. While no child is
taken into the day nursery over seven
time and it frequently happens that
children are turned away for want of
room.

those old enough are sent to the pubic

Bishop o'connell's Discourse.

Taking for his text the gospel of st.
Peter on respect for the authority of
God and earthly rulers, Bishop O'Con-
nell in his discourse declared that the
God of peace is likewise the GOD of the
army and navy of the United States.
land when men and nations rise against
His will and power they are certain to
be crushed. no matter what the cost in
blood"
Bishop O'Connell declared that though
the ceremony was being held in a clus-
ter of Stars and Stripes and with troops
assisting. it was not an official serv-
ice." saying. in this connection:
There is no conflict between patriot
ism and religion: on the contrary. they
aid and complete each other. Patriot
ism is but a part of religion"
Bishop O'Connell then declared that
some people have a narrow view of
patriotism. They think" he said. Ito
love ones country Is to hate every
other country. This is a relic of pagan
days. Christian patriotism must be
wider than that; it must embrace the
world and respect the rights Of all
mankind"
