FLEET TO GO VIA CANAL

Secretary of the Navy Daniels has
reiterated, without qualification, that
the Atlantic fleet would pass through
the Panama Canal next July, on its
way to San Francisco. Some doubt
has been expressed as to whether
earth movements would have ceased
by that time and sufficient dredging
had been done to make the canal chan.
mel of sufficient depth.
"We are making all our plans to go
through, and we will be in the canal
July 4. We will 60 through, and we
will go through in good shape" said
Secretary Daniels.
Plans for the great naval process
sion will be taken up with Admiral
Fletcher, commander-in-chief of the
Atlantic feet, when the secretary goes
to New York.

n enthusiastic meeting for the pur-

for the benefit of the Catholic Orphan
Asylum was held on Tuesday evening
of this week in the Pro-Cathedral
school house. The gathering was
made up of the clergy and represen-
tative laymen from all the city par
ishes. The Most Rev. Archbishop pre-
sided. After general expression of
views on the details it was decided
to make it grand affair with each
parish as a unit participating in it
through its pastor and a committee
who will severally in their own way
contribute by means of booths and
tables to the grand result, large sum
of money sufficient to clear off the in
debtedness on the asylum.
This indebtedness was created
through the necessity of erecting a
building to take the place of the old
structure condemned by the state
board. The sum to be collected on
July is not for the support of the
orphans but for the building. The
orphans are not dependent wholly on
others, they contribute to their own
support in various ways suited to their
age and strength. They are given
practical education that brings in
practical results now and prepares
them for a self-supporting and self
respecting life after they have left the

free labor; we have done more to
bring nearer the universal brother
hood of man, with our faith and our
patriotism, than all the social econo-
mists and politicians that ever vo-
ciferated from rostrum or published
platform of principles.
AS an Order we can exercise our
influence in social life, in public life
and in politics against those who de-
sire to secularize the most sacred of
human relations. AS individuals we
can instruct our own children in those
courtesies and moralities which have
made the Irish family the model and
the admiration of observers of other
nationalities.
We do right to inculcate Irish his
tory, with it's glorious instances of
heroism, it's tragedy and its pathos.
The character of all of us will be i'm
proved by reading of Particular, of
Scotia, of Heber and Heremon, of the
Tailtean games, of Mall of the Nine
Hostages, of st. Patrick and ST.
Brigid, of Conn of the Hundred Bat
ties, of Finn McCool, of the National

of the unending struggle for freedom,
of the wars with the Danes, and the

FORM IRISH FELLOWSHIP CLUB

Welshman and other nationalities, all
seeking with the aid of effective CO.
operation to play their part i'm the
work of civic and state betterment.
Last year there was but this thought
rearing it's head in single blessedness
in the minds of many as to the pos
sibilities of such an organization. But
last year few men caught up this
idea, crystallized it into being and or
ganized the Irish Good Fellowship
club. Tonight, a period less than a
year since its inception, this club gives
evidence of it's spirit and this assem-
blage proves the wisdom of it's organ
ization.
But what are it's purposes? What
is it's object? Who is it's beneficiaries?
It's constitution states that its object
shall be the promotion of good fellow
ship among men of Irish birth, par.
entage or lineage, Irish ideals and
sympathies. On Jan. 25 of each year
brother Scotsmen celebrate the an
niversary of the birth of the immortal
Burns; on May II, Norwegians meet
to celebrate their day; on June "a, our
Swedish people revere the memory
of their heroes; on other days other
nationalities fittingly observe their
natal occasion; all in their own sphere
observe their ancestral ideals, yet keep
before them the realization of their
highest duty, that of their American
| citizenship.
Elm this club American citizenship
reigns supreme-this it's highest obli-
gation-no one who is not citizen Of
this republic or who has not indicated
his intention of so becoming can have
membership in our club. While we
seek to promote good fellowship
among Irishmen, we charge our mem.
bers to keep before them always this
primary thought that the effectiveness
of our club can only be made secure
by our loyalty to the ideals of Ameri
can citizenship"

Mission of the AnciiS>>*
Order of Hibernia1llSs Is

Among the missions of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians is the inculcation
of Irish ideals of happiness. The mere
pagan idea of attaining happiness is
gain of wealth. The Irish people have
higher and nobler conceptions of hap
piness. Irish Catholic civilization has
always maintained that popular hap
pfness can alone be sustained upon
the domestic life of the family. Good
women and good men have been the
rule in all our history.
1t is vain to hope for a happy ma
.tion, or happy community, unless
honor and purity find habitation and
welcome in the home. 1t is not with
out pride that we read the encomiums
of even anti-Irish publicists upon the
love and peace of Irish homes.
The Catholic Church has set the
seal of sanctity upon the family, and
there has never in all the long CEN
turies been any deviation from the
benediction which has consecrated the
abiding place of her children.
We must preserve our homes in the
purity of our Irish ancestors. We can
not hope to reorganize the Industrial
system; but we can refuse to permit
the industrial system to reorganize
our family life. We can determine
that-come what may-the Irish fam
lily shall continue to exist and be
happy.
We, in this country, are Americans,
with every pride in our patriotism
and in the exalted status of our citi-
zenship. We can do no greater service
to America than to hold fast to the
charm and honor of Irish family life.
This is the vital factor in our contri-
button to America.
We have poured out our blood on
fields of battle; we have given our
labor to workshop and factory; we
have carried our religion wherever
our people have settled; we have been
