RELIGION ON THE BATTLE
FIELD.-As an instance Of the wave
Of religious unity that is sweeping
over the world, let US record this lit
tie incident of the battlefield, taken
from the London Nation:
A dying soldier, a Roman Catholic,
called on a nonconfoTmist>~ minister
to hear his confession.
81 am not priest of your church"
was the reply, "nOn6theiess, / will be
glad to hear your confession if can
help you" ..
AS the confession was completed
a Catholic chaplain arrived.
The minister explained what had
occurred. will you, now, hear his
confession?" he asked.
NO" replied the priest; 'if he has
confessed to you am content. I viii
give him absolution."

1T MAY COME.-This country is
again confronted with the prospect
of a great railroad strike. The four
powerful brotherhoods declare that,
in case the S-hour day law is not
generally recognized on Jan. 1 next,
the strike will be called. This time
neither President Wilson nor con-
gress, nor anyone nor anything else,
will be permitted to interfere.
In the event the brotherhoods
carry out their threat, which no sane
man doubts, and a nationwide strike
is called, there will remain but one
remedy. The United States govern
ment will be forced to take over and
operate the roads. This country then
will be well upon the way to govern
ment ownership of all its railways,
And it will have been brought
about by the arrogance, the stub
bornness and the utter disregard Of
law and public opinion of the rail-
road chiefs alone. ~. .

Carranza Reiterates Demand

Brought to Border.

A new note from Gen. Car
rama asking for a definite ex'
PLANTATION of the continued pres
ence of American troops in Mexi-
CO and renewing his previous re-
quest for their withdrawal, was
presented to the State Depart
ment today by Elesio Arredondo,
the Carranza ambassador.
Gen. Carranza new note re-
fers to the repeated declarations
that the United States wants no
war with Mexico and argues that
the withdrawal of the troops
would be the best proof of that
attitude on the part of the Ameri
can government.
Wants Troops Withdrawn.
The continued presence of the puni-
tive expedition, the note says, Is hav-
ing a contrary effect. 1t goes on to
say that Carranza troops are now able
both in numbers and position to control
outlawry in northern Mexico and tnat
cooperation by the American troops
in preventing incursions into the Unit
ed States can best be carried on by
having the forces on the American side
of the border. 1t declares that had the
American troops now in Mexico been
the Glen Springs and Boqu1llas ralds
could have been prevented.
State Department officirals regard the
note not as an .ultimatum. but as a
continuance of the negotiations with
the Carranza government.
