Orders, All to Be Mustered into Fed

Washington June 19.-Not since the

military activity as today.
| More than 100, 900 national guardsmen
in As states were under orders to mo-

Only drilling and recruiting will be in
order among militia organizations for
the present. All must be mustered into
| Federal service. Later they will be sent
to the border for patrol duty, releasing
about 10000 regulars for service in
Mexico if war actually develops.
Additional warships also were getting

You've seen this goof, Alonzo. You

wears his hat on his ear. Well, that's
all right, Carl, any place will do for
the hat. You couldn't exactly call it
a head, could'st one? Anyhow a soft
hat would be more appropriate to
match up with this head.
This is the simp who stands on the
corner with a crowd, or at the beach,
or park, and makes cute, clever re-
marks when the trails go by.
He stands with his hands in his
pockets, every move a picture, rat
ting what is supposed to be coins,
but in reality are stock-room keys.
He has his legs far apart like a
thoroughbred horse and when a doll
comes tripping along, he spills some
thing clever like this: ooh! how do
you do!-in a case like that George?"
Then he'll snap his fingers and do
some soft shoe dancing. Yes, Neil,

SALVATION ARMY LEADER TAKES

Colonel Charles Miles, principal of
the Salvation Army training school,
New York, is quoted in the Virginia
Pilot Norfolk, Va, as saying:
Il always take off my hat to Sis
ter of Mercy, that wonderful order of
Roman Catholic women, because
have had the opportunity to see them
at work. | have seen them in homes
of sickness and death. have seen
them in houses of infection and con
tagion, where their mere presence
must mean ultimate death. / have
seen them ministering to the poor in
quarters where only a brave: man
would dare to enter. have seen
them stay when ministers, laymen and
physicians ran for safety. have
never seen Sister OF Mercy fail to
do her duty in Its highest sense and
sacrifice every other motive to that

study of the nervous system.

irritation was a subject to which he
had devoted many years of study, and
it was Che tells) in the course of dis
secting a frog that, by an accident, he
discovered why the muscles of the
limbs were conyulsed violently when
the inner crural nerves Of the dead
frog were touched with certain met

customed to help us in our electrical
experiments thought that he observed,

Every time the muscles of the limbs

short as may be, he found that a fluid
very much the same as electricity
flows from the nerves to the muscles
under certain conditions. Nevertheless
his theory Of animal electricity did not
meet with general acceptance; al
though (says Bergin) it is considered
in harmony with modern theories.
Unfortunately the closing days of
Galvani were clouded by misfortune
domestic bereavement and physical in
trinity being the causes. He died in
1898. In regard to his religious views,
it is noteworthy that he refused to
take the oath of allegiance to the Cis-
alpine Republic Qtaly), because, as he
said, his faith and conscience forbade
him to do so. He thus forfeited val
uable professorship. "The great found
er of electrical science was" said a
great scientist of that age, deeply re-
ligious, and his piety clothed a heart
that was not less affectionate and SEN
sitive than it was intrepid and cour-
ageous. He never finished his
lectures without exhorting his pupils
to renewal of their faith" And Doc

associateship in the Third Order of
St. Francis more than the many hon

admitted that the removal of illiteracy
will be beneficial to Church, state and
society. We Catholics. know that the
more intelligent our faith, the better
Catholics we are bound to be. A re-
public will be such in name only so
long as its citizens remain too ignorant
to understand the obligations and the
rights of their citizenship. The same
people will remain inefficient indus
trially, and will continue listless and
unambitious, so long as they lack the
most elemental education. Mexico
needs, above all things, stable gov
ernment; with real patriots, not re-
morseless bandits, at its head; q
government that will itself have the
intelligence to recognize and the
honesty to admit, that the Catholic

Branch of the League of Prayer for the
Conversion of America. In this new
relation members of the League share
in the special privilege of the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass offered daily at
the Apostolic Mission House for all
members living and dead.
Who can estimate the growth of the
League under the auspices of this
band of missionaries whose life work
is the conversion of America. Over
one hundred thousand members now
keep the first Thursday as America s
day of prayer. Will you not join this
great band whose spiritual armament
is the powerful weapon of prayer, and
win America over to Christ?
The requirements are very simple:
1. Send your name for enrolment
to Apostolic Mission House,
Washington, D. c., Brookland
P. o.
2. Offer up your prayers and good
works on the First Thursday OF

ing the prayer of the League.
For God and America! Teach your
children this spiritual battle cry. Do
your part in spreading this great work
Let the little ones lisp prayer for its
success. Inflame the children with
this spiritual charity for souls and
they will inflame others. Help tC
make the first Thursday a great Ma.
tional day of prayer for the two
wishes so dear to every Catholic heart
God and America.
The Indulgence prayer of the League:
o my Redeemer, through the sor
rowful Heart of Mary, offer Thee
my thoughts, words, and actions OF
this First Thursday for the saliva
tion of souls, and the conversion oil
America, in union with Thy prayer
to the Eternal Father: THAT they
all may be one, as thou, Father, in

OLD BELL SAVED
STOLEN BY REVOLUTI0NISTS IN
MEXICO AND TAKEN FROM A
JUNK DEALER.

Texas, discovered in a carload of junk
an old bell which had been stolen from
an ancient cathedral in Mexico by the
Revolutionists and sold to a junk
dealer they filed protest against fur

it in Mexico surrendered the relic.

Cathedral since 1921, as is stated in
the inscription on the bell
