TO MY BOOKS
Eloise Pc eb'es

Today as I entered the class room
and opened my accustomed desk, a
sad and weary feeling crept DER me !:
leaning my head on my hand. I could
have wept at the thought that soon 1t
will be mine no more, the tick OF the
old clock seemed to re-echo the plain
tive stra in-"no more glanced
around and 1otted down on Memory 8
page each familiar object, and as l
did so. each in turn whispered to my
heart some message of love.
For years. have looked forward to
this day when could close my books
and go forth into the world, but now,
alas, there runs through the strains OF
toy the keynote of regret, and as I
handle each textbook 1t is with the
caress of friend.
This Ia the last advice that seemed
to come from these old pages: Let
the elements OF knowledge which We
have instilled into your minds be-
come incorporated with the realities
of life and our principles Of rectitude
become your guide, until you go hith-
er,
To foin the !nnumerable caravan.
That moves through the pale realms
of shade"
Dear Sisters, to you we are ex-
ceedinsly grateful. During our years
at St Peters each in turn has not
ONLY patiently tried to fmpaTt the
knowledge contained in the text book

VISIONS OF THE PAST
Rosemary Finisan

We see in the past sweet visions
OF our school and classmates dear,
And the many happy hours
We've spent together here.
On that day some years ago
When first we came to school,
We all resolved to study hard,
And never break rule.
And for a while, you all remember
Everything was grand,
But, then, we found it different
When real work began.
First we learned to pray and sign,
And thought ourselves quite smart
When first we said our A, B, C's
And read them from the chart.
Next we learned to count from one,
And say OUT tables, too,
Then to solve the little sums
Our teachers gave to do.
And when the bell for recess
Rang out so loud and gay.
We all would hurry to the yard
Our childish games to play.
From First to Second Reader
On through the grades we went,
Until we entered High School
Where four glad years we spent.
So that today as Seniors,
In looking DER the past,
A sadness now comes DER us
Which though it will not last
Well miss our Alma Mater,
In the years that are to come,
But visions of her precepts
Will rise Up one by one.
Then. Classmates, let us all be gla'
On this our Senior day,
Well bless St Vincent's everywhere
AS each parts a different way.

Sympatfzer Questions About the WAR

IT would be hard task to change the mind
of anybody who takes sides with the
Pope and the two Kaisers in the present
European war.
IF the Servian fanatic had shot an Aus
trian peasant, we wouldn't have had any
Armageddon; but as he killed the Divine
Right heir to a throne, the Pope and the two
Kaisers plunged Europe into the savagest
conflict known to history.
Now, when a man is unable to see that the
cause Of the war was dyr10stic, he is blind to
actual facts.
There isn't German on earth who can
figure out any advantage to be gained by the
German people, in return for the three mil
lion Germans who have already been killed
or wounded, in fighting for the Pope and the
Kaisers
Dynastic advantages to the Hohenzollern
family, the Hapsburg family, and the papal
empire were e@pected, and that's why the
Pope never whined "Peace Peace!" until
the Kaisers had begun to lose.
A German sympathizer at "Falkville, Ala
bama, r. L." asks some fair questions, and
will try to answer them fairly.
(1) "Whot Is the difference betaOeen BEL
gi0a, and Gaecia7, neutr0zity?"
There is no difference in neutrality, any
where. Germany, England, and France were
parties to treaty safeguarding the neu-
trality of Belgium.
To get at France, before France was ready
for the blow, the German Kaiser threw his
army into Belgium, destroying cities, butcher

fenced her to term of years in the laundry.
know the name of the girl, and know that
brave lady made it so hot for the Police
Matron and Judge Davis, also Romanist,
that they pretended to release the girl; but the
probability is, she was transferred at night
to another slave pen.
AS to that imprisoned widow, I do not
know her name, and she is still shaving in the
laundry.
Can't you see what wrongs can be done,
where the State does not inspect these places?
Your own daughter may go the way of poor
Laura Stone, and there may be no fearless
Mrs. Bannister to fight for her release.
Once your boy or your girl, or your you1eg
eoife is entrapped by the Romish providers, it
is an almost hopeless case.
You will find the courts and the police on
the side of Rome, and you will plead in vain,
very often, for the redress promised by the
highest laws of our land.

ing unarmed non-combatants, ravishing wom-
en-, and mutilating little children.
For defending themselves, the Belgians
have been treated worse than dogs, their
women shot as ''spies," their remaining cities
subjected to ruinous fines, their civilians put
under rigorous martial law and thousands of
them enslaved, other thousands being kept
alive by the food of England and the charity
of America
Cardinal MERCER is the only Belgian who
says, writes and acts as he pleases, defiant of
Won Kissing, the Weyler of Belgium, the
c0td-6loOded assassin of Mss CaUeI, who had
tenderly nursed German soldiers, and whose
only offense was that she had connived at
the escape of three or four wounded English
men and Frenchmen.
MERCER defes Kissing and Kissing is afraid
to touch him-aUhy?
Because MERCER is under the personal pro-
lection of the Papa.
Greece was not neutral, for she was bound
by treaty to aid Servia, and she broke her
word.
Moreover, the Venizelos Cabinet-the then
Greek government-gave formal permission
for the Allies to enter, just as Carranza gave
permission for our troops to enter Mexico.
The Allies, accordingly occupied Salonica,
and fortified it; but not Greek town was
injured, nor Greek life lost.
It was dynastic sympathy of King Con-
stantine and his wife that caused Greece to
violate her treaty, for the King naturally
sides with his queen, and his queen is the

sister of William Hohenzollern, Kaiser of
Germany.
To compare the atrocious treatment of Bel
GUM with the permitted occupation of Sa-
lonica, is frivolous.
(2) "What does England irish for most,
Serbia and Belgium es'0red or the destruc-
tiOn Of Geam1any's cOnanoerce?'
If England had been as eager to destroy
Germany's commerce, as Germany was to
destroy Englands, the presumption is that
England would have been training soldiers as
long and as feverishly as the Kaiser had been
doing.
The evidence that will forever carry con-
viction to unprecedented minds is this
England 2cas Wnprepored for q great acar,

Every man in the Kaiser's empire had
been made a soldier, by the harshest treat
ment ever known in this world; and at the
same time he finally gave Austria the signal
to 90 ahead, there were 10000 Germans suf-
fering from the bodily injuries inflicted by
brutal officers
One of those wretched peasants died from
kick on his genitals, few weeks before the
war began; and all of us remember the
Zabern shoemaker, a cripple, who was slashed
with a sworn, because he had laughed at the
"goose-step" of some soldiers.
For years and years, the toast of the Ger
man officers had been "The Day. and as the
