from lips which anly short time
ago were loud in blasphemy. Poems
to the Blessed Virgin have been COM
posed by men whose talents up to
the outbreak of the war were devoted
solely to the apotheosis of the flesh.
The Rosary has become the favorite
prayer, and even the English Protes-
tant soldiers are carrying Mary's
beads. The twenty-five thousand
French priests who are serving as
common soldiers in the ranks have
had a chance to tear away the band
ages placed over the eyes of their
countrymen by religious Indifference,
anti-clericalism and atheism. No one
will ever again be able to say that
the clergy is not manly, courageous,
patriotic body. The Sisters, by their
heroic services to the wounded on the
battlefield and in the hospitals, have
given the lie forever to those who have
called them parasites upon society.
And the women at home, who gather
the little children at night to pray
for the dear ones fighting at the front,
are sowing seeds whose golden fruit
we shall garner in the days to come.
Those who survive will return to their
homes when the war is over carrying
glorious memories of priestly valor,
and of the simple faith of peasants
whose patriotism was every whit as
ardent as that of the officers reared
in military schools rocking with i'm
morality and atheism
The war has brought thousands up
on thousands of men face to face with
death. And death is the great Re-
vealer. Shams fade away into thin
air in the light of eternity. 1t is this
SOLDERING experience which has brought
about the great religious change. And
this. contention is amply borne out by
the fact that it is precisely those men
who, by reason of the offices they hold
are not required to face death at the
front who are still ensouled with the
old anti-religious spirit, the old hatred
of the things of Christ. A State Min.
lister in France rails against prayers
to Christ-even prayers for victory
In England the safely housed legisla'
tors have recently given governmental
endorsement to atheism, which up to
the time of the Bowman bequest was
as Illegal on the statute books of Ca
tholicism. In Italy, the stay-at-home
patriots have tried to rouse popular
feeling against the priests by the cir.
culation of the most shameful cal
umnies, although every one knows that
hundreds of priests are fighting loyal
.1y. The Pope, who ordered prayers
for peace, is crossed at every turn by
men who have not shouldered, and will
not shoulder, gun in defense of their
country.
The religious revival has manifested
itself almost exclusively amongst the
soldiers and their wives and children.
And since the majority of the men be-
tween the ages of nineteen and forty.
five have come once more under the
salutary influence of religion while at
the front, it is pleasant to contem-
plate the day when, after the last
bomb has been thrown, they will re-
turn to their homes to put out of
power the men who, having failed to
incur the risks of true patriotism, have
thereby missed the grace of a reawak-
ening of the faith.

PENANcE NOT POPULAR.

Penance is not popular nowadays;
many persons do not know what the
word means, says America" MANY
more who know that it includes the
modification of the body, consider
fasting monkish and medieval, and by
consequence, unnecessary and absurd.
The chronology of these persons is as
faulty as their logic. The patriarchs
tasted Our Lord Himself tasted for
forty days in the desert st. Paul,
whom, for some occult reason, the
Protestant communities consider, or
once considered, peculiarly their own.
not only tasted, but actually chastised
his body, to bring it, as he said, into
subsection
The Christian tradition on the sub
ject of fasting is, therefore, plain.
Not so, however, the modern Christian
practice. 1t is true, that in this day
of tagging wills and weakened physi-
cal frames, still further harried by the
onset of efficiency methods urged in
the professions as well as in the fac
tories, the number of men and women
who can fast without notable injury.
is not great A wise mother, the
Church is accordingly liberal in her
dispensations, combinations and ex.
emptions. What in the twentieth
century her law allows, would seem
to the Christian of the early days,
when frames were strong as well as
faith. more like feast than a fast.
While no age has needed penance
more than ours, none, perhaps, has
loved it less.

GETS TERRIBLE BEATING
For years the Daily News, the rich
est and most powerful Of the loop
newspapers, has used Madison street
as part of their circulation room. A
group of huskies run back and forth
across the sidewalk all day with bun
dies Of papers, shouldering aside pc
destrians.
A small-sized riot occurred when
a Daily News husky was jostled by
William Sanders, negro, who was
walking down Madison with Clara
Anderson. George Maloney, the
driver, knocked Sanders down. In
stantly the sidewalk was in turmoil
A bunch of drivers and paper hust-
lers piled in and when the police ar
rived Sanders was lying unconscious
and Maloney was nursing a lacerated
ear.
Sanders told the police he lived at
223 n. Ada St, and that Maloney had
used q hammer on him. His face and
head gave fair evidence to this. Ma
loney claimed Sanders chewed part
OF MS ear OH III the lgnC. BOJQ men
are being held by the police.
At first Maloney refused to give
the police his name. When they found
it along with his address, 1881 W.
95th st., in his pocket he asked the
sergeant not to give it to the report
ers until his paper had fixed it up"
The police refused his request.
Sanders says he was pushed into
Maloney by the crowd and that he
was knocked down before he had a
chance to apologize.

this afternoon on the Sierra for De-
troit, Mich, where he will take po-
sition DIS manager of the J. L. Woods
Concert & Amusement Company. This
position is one of importance and car
ries with 1t large salary.
The j. l.. Woods Concert & Amuse-
ment Company is becoming one of the
big amusement concerns of America,
and Doyle was selected from a large
list of men prominent in the theatrical
and amusement world. Jesse l..
Woods, president OF the company, is
well known in Honolulu, having held
number of positions here. He wrote
for the Evening Bulletin and Adj
vertiser, and at one time had a sport.
ing goods store here. :.
Doyle met Woods some years ago
when they were responsible for bring.
ing Mique Fishers baseball team to
the islands. The venture was sue.
cess, and Woods left Hawaii for Sc.
attic, where he engaged in the amuse-
ment business, being associated with
Fisher in the dance hall business
They leased the Dreamland a large
dance hall, which gave them small
fortune. Woods then went East, where
his ventures MET with success, and he
now controls q number of playhouses
in the Middle West. ....s... -s.&
Woods at the present time owns Ar
cadia, large dance hall which has
been used for concerts in the City of
the Straits. This year he has planned
to give a series of concerts, featuring
the leading stars of America. Doyle
will take the management of the con.
cert and entertainment features. ~s
Doyle has been active for the past
few years in promoting theatrical and
amusement events here. With James
Dougherty he staged the first carni,
val ever held here 1t was then given
under the auspices of the Elks Lodge,
of which Doyle is a veteran member.
He was instrumental in making Roar.
ing Camp" a success for the Elks, and
last year was manager for the Ray.
mond Teal Company, which had a sue
cessful season. They came here for
an engagement of eight weeks and
played for nearly six months. Doyle
was in charge of the ticket conces'
sion at the last carnival. =.
at will be unnecessary for me to
say that will do all the boosting pos
sible FOR Hawaii" said Doyle today
Detroit has the automobile, Henry

Company, but Hawaii has things thai
Detroit will never have" Doyle did
not. say that the City Where Life is

"A decree dismissing the bill was

at Is now contended by the COM
plainant That notwithstanding it's ad-

the actual cost mentioned In section
81 OF the franchise act (R. l.. 1915,
Sec. 500, which will be dealt with
presently, means actual cost to the
company. It is argued that the Eek
tensions for the expense Of which
the income Of the railway may be
used under paragraph I Of section

they were so proper and necessary.
Assuming the fact to be as contend

that the general words OF the para

sirable railway system and open the
way for an efficient modern car sery-

which the bill of complaint in this
case evidently was drawn was the
correct one, and that the company
was entitled, upon increasing its cap
ital stock, to issue to its shareholders,
in addition to- shares of a par value
equal to the amount OF the actual cost
