 Gas pressure has been very low on the Heights since the cold spell start ed, and at several points there was no gas at all for several hours at a time. The gas company says that it is doing everything possible to meet the requirements of the consumers. A high pressure pipe line is used in Pu- laski Heights and when the gas pres sure becomes low valves, shutting of the gas, automatically close for the purpose of safety For this reason many homes in Pulaski Heights could have only one gas stove lighted and in some homes the gas was shut off.

Address.

A campaign for more hogs on the farms of Pulaski county and the state is being conducted by ]. F. Nicholson, agriculturist of the Profitable Farm names and addresses of buyers of hogs in order that he may interest them and secure their aid in the cani- paign for more hogs. When he se- cures the names and addresses he will write to the buy CTS and outline to them his plan. His idea is that the buyers, when they secure sows that are suitable for breeding, shall sell

the central powers shows that they have indeed exalted hell as their para disc.
 '"The rape of Belgium, the tramp ling upon treaties as "mere scraps of paper" the destruction of Louvain, the sowing of vineyards with salt and the uprooting of orchards, the enslav- ing of civilians, the sinking of the Lusitania and scores of other ships un- armed.
 That this does not represent the German heart is illustrated by our American Ambassador Girard. He | saw a report that the citizens of q certain village had been posted as dis1oyal and reasonable because of the treatment accorded by them to prisoners of war. This report sounded good to him and he sent instructions to the consul to investigate the mat ter, and this is what he found: X trainload of Canadian prisoners stopped at the village and made the villagers understand that they were hungry and thirsty, and the kindly people provided them with food and drink For this they were posted as traitors and were fined and imprison- ed. The true heart of the German people spoke in that simple charity. Cannot you hear another voice back in the ages, q was an hungered and ye gave me meat; was thirsty and ye gave me drink?" The voice, the autocrat of the war party, spoke as they crushed out the voice of human ity.
 We fight against slavery and the desire to supplant democracy with the principles of autocracy such as this. Y
 We had traitors during the old war, men who tried to block the plans of our President Lincoln. We called them "copperheads." I don't know now what we ought to call them now. I have no words to express my abhor- rance and contempt for them. know no words strong enough to apply to the dastard who strikes the spark in the munitions factory, places the bomb ion board the ship, whispers words of discomfort and incites to treason our men and women, who sets an alien race knocking with rife and cannon at our Southern gates. To the young man who would hide behind the skirts of a new made bride Girls don't let them do it. Your skirts are not wide enough, and certainly they are not long enough today to hide much of a man.

GENERAL JOFFRE
CATHOLIC SOLDIER CENTER OF
ATTRACTION IN THE CAPITAL.

Probably never before in it's history
has the National Capital accorded
such a tribute to visitors from a for
eign nation, as that represented in the
demonstration, as members of the
French Commission passed through
the streets of Washington on the way
to the residence they are to occupy
while in the city. The central figure
of the French Commission was Gen.
eral Joseph Joffre, and whenever he
appeared on the street or in the gov
ernment buildings, it was an OCCASION
for cheers and handclappfng. i,
General Joffre, whose, name ranks
with that of the worlds greatest gen
erals, was born of humble parentage,
and became the foremost figure in all
France, when as chief of staff, at the
age of G2, he halted the German inva-
sion. He has no military ancestors,
and is the third of family of eleven
children, the others being in civilian
life. AS commander-in-chief he was
the idol of the troops and when, made
marshal of France, he took leave of
his men, it is said the scene was one
of the most affecting of the war. He
is devout Catholic.

NEW ARMY CHAPLAINS
OLICS - FOUR n U NJ D r { .
PRIESTS WILL BE REQUIRED
FOR NEW ARMY

The Rev. George J. Waring, chap
lain of the 18th Cavalry, U. S. A,
writes in the May issue of the Catho-
lie World:
The entrance of our country into
war against the German government
has naturally sci. to work every
agency of our Federal government to
the building up of effective land and
naval forces. How far those forces
will be augmented it is, of course, too
early to say, but that large army
will be recruited, either by volunteer
system or that of conscription, is GER
tain.
1t is now planned to increase the
army to twelve hundred thousand
men. Chaplains for service in this
army will be required on the basis of
one chaplain for each twelve hundred
men. To the Catholic Church has
been allotted forty per cent of the
chaplains-an allotment based on the
religious census of the country. This
means that within the next few
months four hundred priests will be
required to serve as chaplains in our
new army.

or as you call them, conferences, that
they may help each ether to lead a
Cody life and also 70 assist their COM
panions who are in want.
Nor should We give less praise to
the zeal of those, who freed from mil
itary duties, employ themselves at
home in wonderfully increasing the
services rendered by the Society of S.
Vincent de Paul in relieving the wide
spread want and misery brought about
by the war. Conscious of the weak
ness of human nature, you have called
yourselves useless servants because
you have not been able to prevent the
hideous calamity Of war from injuring
to some extent your flourishing soCi-
ETY..
But We, who consider what you
have accomplished, have the right to
say to you, well done, good and faith
full servants" and to congratulate you,
that in spite of the stress of the times,
you have been able, with the help of
God to bring forth fruit by no means
unworthy of your efforts.
Far then from allowing your courage
to be overcome by difficulties, You
must persevere with even greater zeal.
For if already an almost unlimited
sphere of action lies open to Chris
tian charity, it would seem that that
field of action will become even moro
extended, when at the end of the fight
ing, it will be necessary to repair so
many ruins caused by the war.
We willingly grant your petition that
the conferences organized among the
prisoners, and to which we have al
ready alluded, should gain the indul-
gences granted by PontiflCal authority
to conferences regularly formed. AS
pledge of heavenly gifts and a tes-
timony of our especially good will, We
very lovingly beStow upon you, dear
son, and upon all the members of your
society, our Apostolic Benedicticn.

AS the train leaves Buffalo, on it's
way to Niagara Falls, one who has
never visited this wonderful creation
of God, is all expectation. Little at
tention is paid to the ticket man"
who is very anxious that you purchase
a ticket for one dollar; by so doing
you are entitled to a trolley ride, un-
der the care of a guide. Arriving at
Niagara, your first thought is of the
falls; but you must be patient, for if
you have purchased a trolley ticket,
you will have some distance to ride be-
fore obtaining your first view of this
celebrated cataract.
AS you cross over the bridge from
the American to the Canadian side you
behold the falls Yes; you are some
what disappointed. 1t is not so won
derful as you thought it would be, but
again you must be patient, as you have
not had chance to be imbued with
the greatness of Niagara.
Arriving on the Canadian side, you
are taken quite close to this part OF
the falls They arc divided by Goat
Island, into the American and Canadi-
an. On the Canadian side you ascend
the tower" and are given glimpse
of this great work of God. Leaving
the tower" you are taken along the
full length of the gorge. During part
of this trip you will experience a thrill,
a shivering sensation, as the car runs
along the very brink of the gorge,
and every minute you expect to be
hurled, as it seems to you, miles be-
low into the very bowels of the earth.
Crossing from the Canadian to the
American side, just below the whirl-
pool, you are taken to a point near
Lewiston, and invited to partake of a
fish dinner The fish is guaranteed to
be fresh, just caught in the Niagara
River.
iii Leaving this point you start to re.
turn to Niagara. You are now begin
ming to realize the beauty of this sec.
ction of your country, for you behold
what the wonderful hand of nature
has for centuries been constructing
AS you look on the rapids you see a
body of water rushing along with great
force, battling against itself, forcing
the tremendous undertow to the top
rushing forward, then hurting itseli
backwards, with the water from five
to seven feet higher in the center Of
the stream than the water near the
shore. If you have ever experienced
the thrills of surf bathing in the Allan
tic Ocean, as that mighty body Of
water rolls shoreward with it's waves
at times five to seven feet in height
you will appreciate the great force o.
water at work in the narrow gorge
of Niagara. After leaving the rapids
you are taken back to the City of Nj
agara, and slowly you walk to the lit
| tie park surrounding the falls on th.
American side.

ENCES ERECTED IN PRISON
CAMPS.

The Pope recently sent the follow
ing letter to Viscount D'Hendrecourt,
President-G General of the Society of st.
Vincent de Paul:
Benedict XIV, Pope.
Dear and Noble Son:
Health and Apostolic Benediction.
The letter of congratulation which
according to your custom you have
sent Us on occasion of the New Year,
assures Us of that which We already
held as certain, namely that the S.
Vincent de Paul Society has not made
progress in Europe during the last two
years on account of this monstrous
war
But your letter tells Us of some
thing We had not ventured to hope
that is-that in the nations untouched
by the war, and notably the States of
North America, your society has ad-
vanced to such a degree that even be-
fore the war its annual increase in
these regions was not much more con-
siderable.
Thus, the account Of your work
which you now present to Us, gives Us
greater cause to rejoice than to be sad.
For We remember that the losses
caused by the war have been more
than repaired by the admirable zeal
of your associates. The conduct of
your French and Belgian confreres has
cheered Us greatly. Some of these,
though made prisoners by the enemy,
have recruited a goodly number of as
sociates for the S. Vincent de Paul So
ciety among their fellow captives.
These they have formed into groups,

of the wife and daughter. Under the
