The WaterworkS.


good deal OF blasting has TO be done
to make the trenches for the pipe line for
the waterworks along Main street. Al
though all precautions are taken to pre-
vent damage, lew window glass in res
licences have been broken. The con-
tractor repairs all damage OF this sort.
In digging the irene es on Main street
the macadam in some places is found TO
be more than two feet in thickness. The
stone that was broken with hammers
years ago is great deal larger than that
of recent times, the product OF modern
crushers. No water has yet been struck
at the well, although the hole is now about
800 feet deep.
Daniel Heflebower, OF Ripon, this
county, who has considerable reputation
as "water smeller." was in Shepherds
town a few days ago and exercised his
gifts in locating stream OF water. He
went TO the place where the well has
been driven 800 feet through various
rock formations, including several sorts
of limestone (the drill is now punching
through grantee, and the peach twig
which he used indicated Enthusiastically
that there is no. water worth mentioning
at that point As the hole is down TO
pretty near sea level, most folks think
that il is useless to go any deeper. II is
said that the bottom of the hole will be
dynamited, in the hope that seam may
be opened up which will give plenty of
water. Mr.. Heflebower went to the top
of the hill in Goldsborough's orchard,
where the reservoir is TO be located, and
the peach twig told him that there is
plenty OF water within 100 feet of the
surface. We are in favor Of boring right
therefor just look how the ancient wa
ter smeIlers used to locate streams and
dig good wells here hundred years or
more ago.
Persons who intend to take water in
their homes or places OF business are
urged to notify the company at once. so
that the connection may be made as far
as the curb line while the trenches are
open. There is no charge for the ex-
tension of the pipes from the large mains
to the curb line. and the work ought to
be done while it is convenient.

the first educational institution in the
District of Columbia to be officially
listed as a government aided and rec

and private educational institutions as
will maintain military department
for the teaching and training in mill
tary science and tactics to a pre-
scribed number of students over fif-
teer years Of age, as fixed by the war
department regulations. And added
to the distinction of being one of the
one hundred institutions authorized by
law to receive without expense to
themselves, an officer of the army as
military instructor and all arms and
equipments, etc, required in the mill
tary Institutional work, st. Johns

The pro-British policy carried
out as part and plan of the Anglo
American campaign in America, is
bearing good fruit from the Brit
ish point of view. Recruiting for
the British army in Chicago has
been carried to point where the
Department of Justice deemed it
necessary to start an investiga-
ton. The investigation was insti-
tuted after circulars had been dis
tributed to young men inducing
them to enlist. The circular bore
the United States and British,
flags and representation of
Uncle Sam and John Bull with
clasped hands. At Windsor, On
tario, across from Detroit, an
American Legion recruiting office
for the British army is maintain
ed. Outside of the office is an ad-
vertisement bearing the United
States and British flags. Truly,
the Anglo-American propaganda
has acquired considerable proper
lions and affords an effective an
swer as to why the United States
is considered pro-British.

the President of the United States,

army on December 80, 1915, and on
January 3, Major John A. Dapray,

reported to the president of the

of Military Science and Tactics, and

Major Dapray. himself a Catholic,
is regarded as one of the most expert
enced military instructors in the SER

of distinguished details. He was the
military aide to the Secretary Of War,
Mr.. Elkins (who was up to the hour
of his death close friend of Cardinal
Gibbons), and acted as ex-officio as.
sistant at the White House. He was
an aide to number of prominent gen.
eral officers of the army, Adjutant
General of the District of Columbia.
and Adjutant and Adjutant General
OF many organizations. He has been
highly commended by War Depart

in the reorganization and instruction
of the states citizens soldiery in sew
eral sections of the country. Lately
he has been delivering series of ad.

that he had found out from asso-
eating with the imprisoned
priests. Statements from him
were received by the administra-
ton and have in the eyes of the
President such Importance, that
they outweigh all the evidence
presented against Carranza. Par
des was the creature of Carranza,
as Carranza was the creature of
the administration. The Arch
bishop of Mexico was forced for
the sake of avoiding greater scan
dial to acquiesce in the appoint
ment made by Carranza. The an
swer given by the administration
to every honest inquiry put by
representatives OF the Catholic
Church are the statements made
by Carranza's stool-pigeon-a
creature of his own creation
whose record was presented by
the Catholic Transcript-a per-
son who was willing to forfeit all,
even the blood OF Mexican priests,
that he may rise in power with
the assistance OF Carranza.

ment referred to is from a non
Catholic source. 1t was not hon
ored with recognition. The state
ments of DR.. Kelly and DR.. Tier
ney were likewise denied recogni-
ton.
The Catholic Transcript has OBJ
tanned the facts concerning the
sudden rise to power Of the Vicar
General Of Mexico City, whose
documents have been placed on
the files of the State Department.
His testimony is that of the only
Catholic so-called, who has been
accorded this distinction. 1t is
we'll to inquire into the reasons.

REMEMBER LIMERICK.

There has been wholesale dis
missals in all departments of pub
lie service in Great Britain among
those suspected to be i'll sympa-
thy with the Irish volunteers.
Vigorous steps have been taken
to counterfeit the influence of the
Irish volunteers in obstructing re-
cruiting. In a recent debate on
the subject in parliament Mr.. Biz
rell stated that seditious leaflets
have been widely circulated i'll Ire
land. The chief secretary stated
that the leaflets were carefully
watched, and every attempt is
made to run down those who were
responsible for their authorship or
distribution, and persons reading
the leaflets were suspected. Pres
sure now forced by the govern
ment upon the Irish people has
instituted a form of CONSUMPTION,
and is more effectual for all pur-
poses than any bill which might
be introduced in parliament. Ire
land has been the object of all
forms of coercion under the De-
Tense of the Realm Act. At the
present time, there is no personal
liberty in Ireland.
The people are at the mercy of
military and police. Forbidding
the sale in Ireland of firearms and
ammunition was part of the plan.
A vigorous, spirited attack was
made upon the treatment of Ire
land under military and police
rule, by Rev. Father O'Connelly of
Ballinasloe. Rev. O'Connelly de-
clared that it would be the duty
of the government to conscript a
man in the defense of his own
country. He declared that Ser
via should not be conscripted to
help Belgium, nor the Belgians
conscripted to help Servians, and
if not why should another little
martyred nation be conscripted,
or its young men forced under
the Defense of the Realm Act to
join the army of the country
which had ever been trying to

ones and, by recommending that film
No. 2 at given show is excellent, it
may mean that the children will see
not only film No. 2, but also films No.
3 and No. 4, which are bad.
A third solution is by the introduc-
ton of moving picture apparatus into
schools and churches with special pro-
grams of pictures selected with care
for their interest and wholesomeness.
This gives complete control of the pro
gram. 1t would tend to draw children
away from moving picture houses, al
though it would not prevent their at
tending regular houses and thousands
would go every week as before. 1t
would meet more opposition from the
proprieters of the small moving pic
ture houses, who could not afford to
lose any considerable portion of even
one-fifth of their patronage. The man.
ayers Of the big houses frequently CO.
operate in enforcing laws keeping chill
dren out after certain hours and might
cooperate in such competitive film ex-
hibitions, for the simple reason that
the attendance of children is not a
large item. Often the fact of co-opera-
tion in this matter is good adver-
tisement for them.
At Best-A Merely Passive Form Of
Recreation.
A third educational difficulty and a
very important one in the use of NOV
ing pictures with children is that it
leads to an excessive use of the pas
sive forms of recreation. Character
is not built chiefly by sitting and
watching things: Character is bun
die of habits and is formed by doing
things. Just as instruction is not the
whole of education, so the passive
forms of recreation should not be a
prominent part in child life. The So
luton of this is the building up of an
adequate recreation system, which will
furnish other forms of more active
recreation which will more generally
influence character.
| It must be remembered that moving
picture shows of the right type are
an asset to any community. When
compared with the cheap type of va
riety shows which were given in most
cities, twenty to twenty-five years
ago, they are an immense improve
ment, because they furnish a type of
amusement which, on the whole, is
much cleaner than these old forms of
amusement, and at a reasonable figure.
Furthermore, on account of low cost,

sound its death knell? The path
of duty for Irishmen lies plain in
front of them. The cry should
still be, Remember Limerick"
THE COST OF WAR.

Figures have been compiled,
statistics have been gathered, and
the reading public has had an OPP
portunity of estimating in dollars
and cents the cost OF the Euro
pean conflict; but the figures have
accumulated and increased by SO
many figures that they are we'll
beyond the comprehension of all,
except those whose business it is
to compile the statistics. The
meaning of it all is so far beyond
ordinary human experience that
there is nothing with which to
compare the ravages of the pres
ent war. A French economist,
Beaulieu, estimates that the war
is costing the nations engaged,
100000 a month. The cost to
Great Britain in failure to make
productive expenditure, amounts
to $2,OOO,OO0,O00 a year. This
statement is made on the authori-
ty of Sir George Paish. Another
London economist, a Mr.. Hairst,
estimates the daily cost of the
war at $56,OOO,OOO; while the
French Minister of Finance, in a
report made December II, stated
that the war up to that time had
cost $38,O00,O0O,O00,
Leaving out of account the &C
tual expenditures, seven of the ma
tons engaged in the conflict, have
given credits in excess of $751;
OOO,OOO,OOO, and negotiated loans
in excess of $25,OOO,OOO,OOO.
Henssler, the Swiss military ex-
pert, has placed the number killed
since the war began at 100000.
A line of battle extends from the
North Sea entirely across En-
rope, in line drawn from North
to South. To keep this line in
tact, over 100000 men are re-
quired. This includes all men
drawn from productive pursuits
OF whatever kind and engaged i'll
carrying on the war. This Num-
Der is almost equal to the popula-
ton of the United States in 1860.
These figures, incomprehensive as
they may be, furnish some notion
of the extent of the stupendous
conflict which is now ravaging
Europe.
