Wars COMPARED.

Castor ROupnel, in London EveTyman,
makes some comparisons between the
American war for secession and the pres
ent war. He says: Every day Germany
lin this war of attrition) loses more men
than she lost in the most terrible battle
IN 1870. Every month her effective force
diminishes. it is said, by about 100000
men. To this total must be added an
other number of men more or less per-
manently wounded. Now, the American
war has taught US that the capacity of
resistance is completely exhausted when
the nominal effective force is reduced by
30 per cent. Illness is much more
common among their troops than in the
American armies made up of war-hard-
ened rustiCs. These facts restrict the
limits of German resistance and bring US
nearer those limits than We think at
present Moreover, in the war Of seces-
sion the human usury was not regular.
1t was progressive and increased cruelty,
reaching its maximum in 1854 and 1855 In
the last year Lees army decreased by
half. Out OF 52.626 men it was reduced
to 5000 men. The last months OF a war
of attrition are of a deadliness whose
bloody violence none can foresee."

CASTS NO REFLECTION
ON ARMY PERSONNEL
Miss Richards Reads Letter from Gen.
Scott Praising Americas
Fighting Men.

Miss Janet Richards yesterday morning
LOthrop's asserted that she had been
misunderstood and misquoted in her re-
cent discussion of the United States army
in reference to enIistments. She denied
that she had said that the enlisted per-
sonnet was composed in the majority of
former convicts, OF made any assertion
rejecting upon the character of the pri-
vate soldier
Miss Richards quoted herself as having
said: We often read and hear that a
certain number of the enlisted men are
former cOnvicts who manage to enlist
under an assumed hame. and in some
cases we know that fool magistrates
have even offered petty offenders the al
Tentative of a Jail sentence or enlistment
in the United states army"
The speaker read the following letter
from Maj. Gen. Hugh l. Scott: Il have
Known the enlisted men of the United
States army for forty years and have
found them faithful and trustworthy be-
yOnd the men OF their class in civil life
In no emergency have I ever known them
20 fail on account of hunger. cold or wet.
but they have by their boldness, energy
and fearlessness overcome great obstacles
in every instance"
Following the address of Miss Richards,
Mrs. Nina Duryea, of Dinard and Paris
gave an account Of the relief work being
done in Europe with the assistance Of a
group Of American women. and made an
appeal for discarded wearing apparel OF
every kind and other odds and ends to
be found in every household.

CLOAK STRIKERS GAIN
SYMPATHY FOR FIGHT
Cause Praised at Church of the

the striking garment workers in their

terms of the protocol; second, to ac-
cept the ruling of the Mayors council
Of arbitration before the State Depart
ment of Labor, and. third, TO respond
TO tho Mayors invitation TO a confer
ence."
Schelsinger reiterated his statement
that every one of the workers In the
400 association shops would be on hand
this morning to resist An attempt to
reopen them.
At meeting in the Church OF the
Ascension last night, the Rev. Percy
Stickney Grant presiding, Robert w.
Bruere outlined the positions of each
side in the controversy.
at is nothing less than wonderful"
he said, "to consider the way tho
strikers have acted in this situation.
Their self-control of the workers must
be put down as nothing short of
extraordinary. This alone should win
them public sympathy"
At a meeting in the Ascension Forum
after the church meeting George Cor
don Battle presided. Mr.. Bruere said
the workers were trying to anticipate
the coming busy season and bring the
strike to an amicable end.

PRIEST SAYS JOHN DIS
FUND IS CHURCH FOE
Warns Catholics of Tyranny Of
Big Foundations.

Charges that the Sage, Rockefeller
and Carnegie foundations were in a
conspiracy TO ruin the Catholic Church
were made yesterday by the Rev. Jo-
scph II. Rockwell, preaching in the
Church OF ST. ignatius, Brooklyn.
Father Rockwell, president Of Brook
Ign College, is a noted Jesuit. and was
for many years at the head of st. Fran
CTS Xavier College.
THAT many wealthy foundations are
consipiring to ruin the Church is evil
denced by the efforts which the Sage,
Rockefeller ana Carnegie organizations
are making to control the education Of
this country" he declared. Even the
Baptists have protested against tho
tyrannizing ATTEMPTS of the Carnegie
Foundation TO control the schools and
colleges of the country.
at behooves us to stand for our
rights as citizens. and not 10 permit
half dozen scheming men and women.
who want to enrich themselves and
crush poor institutions, to control
millions Of Catholics. II is our duty, as
Catholics, to unite in defence OF every
thing that concerns the Church"
