erent nations can be brought into con ference. time for investigation of all disputes Is the means by which future wars can be averted. and the cultiva- tion of international friendship is the means by which the desire for war can be rooted out
 In elaborating his plan for restora- tion of peace. MT. Bryan urges:
 ''That neutral nations in advocating peace crystalline sentiment in favor of peace into a coercive force. and offer mediation jointly. or severally, that the warning nations join in treaty to pro- vide for investigation by permanent international commission of every ais pute that may arise, no matter what it's conversational character or nature and that a worldwide educational movement. to cultivate spirit of broth erhood among the nations, he under taken as the final task of the advo ]. cates of peace.'
 Cannot Be Exterminated
 "Great nations cannot be eNtermi- nated," confines Mir. Bryan. Predictions made at the beginning Of the war have not been fulfilled. The British did not destroy the German fleet in a month; Germany did not take Paris in. two months, and the Russian army did not bite into Christmas dinner in Berlin. But even if exterminauon were possi- ble it would be a crime against civil ization, which no nation or group of na- tions could afford to commit -
 When can peace be restored? Any time now, if the participants are really weary of this war and ready for it to end If any nation is not ready, let it's ruler state in clear. distinct and defi- nite terms the conditions upon which it | is willing to agree to peace; then if an agreement is not reached, blame fol continuance of the war will be upon those who make unusual demands" In proposing mediation, the former secretary points out that The Hague convention expressly declares an offer of media ton shall not be considered ar unfriendly act. and adds:
 Rests Largely on U. S. The duty of offering mediation may seem to rest primarily upon the United States. the largest of the neutral na- tons and the one most intimately
 bound by ties of blood to all belllg erents. The United States did make al offer Immediately after the war began but why not again, and again, until oul offer. or some other offer Is accepted But our action or failure to act neec not deter any other neutral nation iron acting. This is not time to stand CT ceremony; if any other country, for any reason-no matter what the reason may be--is in a better position than we tC | tender its good offices, it should no delay a moment"
 To assure permanent peace, MT Rry
 an urges that his plan of investigation
 treaties be adopted by the warning ma. lions.
 "A treaty such as those which now | protect the peace of the United States | he continues, would give a years tim, | Tor investigation, and report, and wh, coubts that years time would be suf | f1cient to reach an amicable solution O

sacred vestment and the symbOlical
meaning of every ceremony, vest
ment and sacred vessel used during
this divine service. All are most
cordially invited, especially non-Cath-
olics to hear this sermon in particu
lar, On account of tie fact that so
many erroneous no iors exist and so
much ignorance concerning these
beautiful and wonderful ceremonies
OF the Catholic church. On Good Fri
day morning at eight O'Clock, the
procession of tie chiloren will again
take place, and the Mass of the Pre-
ceremonies carried out. AT three
O'Clock on Good Friday afternoon

day night, the stations of tie cross
will again be read and sermon ap-
propriate for the occasion on the pas
sion of Our Lord will be preached.
On Holy Saturday morning at 8

gin, consisting of the blessing of the

and the paschal candle. On Holy Sat
urdy afternoon and evening and also
Easter Sunday morning before the
I Masses, two visiting Italian speak
ing priests will hear the confessions
of the faithful, giving everyone an
opportunity of making their Easter
duty. 1t is to be Hoped that as many
as possible at this time will receive.
holy communion on Easter morning
On Easter Sunday morning at 10
o'clock solemn high Mass will be
sung and a splendid musical program
has been arranged by the choir, hav-
! ing many special features for this
occasion. The cfo;r has for sever
al weeks past been in very serious
and earnest rehearsal for the cele-
bration of this great feast day. A
special sermon appropriate for the
occasion, on the resurrection of
Christ will be preached by Father
by Rev. Father Minot, S. j., of the
/ Sacred Heart College, Denver. Per-
sonally / wish to extend the most
cordial invitation to everyone Catholic
and nonCatholic alike to attend any
and all of these deyotions. and i sin
cerely hope that a splendid, large
congregation wil be present, espec-
tally on Holy Thursday night, at 7:30
o'clock and Easter Sunday morning
at 10 o'clock to witness these two
beautiful and interesting services of
the Catholic church.
