Archbishop Ireland
Endorses Work of
Red Cross Societu

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 15.-In a
letter received by John Leslie, divi-
sion chairman of the Red Cross
Christmas membership drive Arch.
bishop Ireland Of St. Paul today en-
dorsed heartily the work of the Amer
lean Red Re- Cross. The letter reads:
II beg leave to assure you tina: with
my whole heart l encourage and bless
the work of the American Red Cross
and especially the present endeavor
to Increase during this Christmas sea-
son the membership to the grand to-
tai of fifteen millions. The American
Red Cross at the present time i one
of the highest undertakings of Chris
tian charity and high minded pa
triotism that could be presented to
the people of the United States, both
for the motives that inspire it and the
wonderously well fitting motive by
which it works in the relief of miser-
les brought on by this world war. The
American Red Cross commends hself
to the whole-soufcd sympathy and
admiration Of the world. There Is no
American worthy of the name who
should not be proud to be among it's
members, and l earnestly hope hat
for the honor OF our American peo-
pie as Christmas morning dawns and
the salute of heaven goes out from,
the skies to the men Of good WILL
your fifteen millions will have been
secured n the work of the Ameri-
a Red Cross for the coming year
put on a sure and substantial basis.
Respectfully,

to be alert and watchful had gone to sleep on their jobs.
If that is the case the sooner the facts are made known
the better. But whatever may be the facts relating to
his branch of the subject, 1t seems clear that the system
which was deliberately adopted to prevent inconsiderate
or autocratic action at times when delay might be per-
Missile Is pretty certain to cause delay under conditions
which make delay intolerable.
Just now we are facing things Of whose existence
we did not dream a year ago. We have said all along that
war is a grave business. We are just beginning to real
ie, and even yet only vaguely. how grave a business it
is. We have told each other that it is unnecessary for
the nation to put forth its full strength to bring the war
to a successful close. We have said these things with
only a slight realization of what they meant. Little by
little we are accustoming ourselves to the thought that
this supreme effort involves the element Of individual
sacrifice, that we must readjust our personal finances,
and our domestic habits, and our goings and comings,
that we must do many things which are not pleasant,
and refrain from doing many things that we like 70 do.
Little by little we are beginning to understand that each
man and woman of us Is personally in this war, and that
whatever there may be in our lives which stands in the
way Of our being good and efficient soldiers must be
changed or abandoned.
We may find it necessary to abandon some of our
cherished governmental practices. Any practice which
delays effective action tends to prolong the war and
places an additional risk upon every man who goes to
the front with a gun in his hands. It does more. It in
wolves in uncertainty the entire outcome of the war. If
it comes to the point, as it may, where we must choose
between the winning of the war and the retention Of q
system Of checks and balances to which we have become
welded by tradition, the checks and balances must be
scattered to the winds, and somebody must be given au-
thority to do the things that need to be done. and to do
them before 1t is too late.

CHECKS AND BALANCES

One of the things that has been ascribed to our gov
eminent as a virtue is its system Of checks and balances.
The theory is that with authority distributed among sew
eral groups such action as is taken will represent the
concensus of opinion among these groups. and will there
fore approach closely to representing the real will Of the
people. When the constitution was adopted there was
strong suspicion of everything that bore even the appear
ance of autocraic control. Kings and their creatures
had ruled, and ruled badly, and 1t was considered essen
tal that kingcraft and everything resembling it should
be banished from the new nation. Hence 1t was decided
that, go far as it could be arranged that way, no single
individual. and no single group of individuals, should
be able to do anything Independently.
That system has its defects. General Crozier limited
at some of them in his testimony before the senate COM
mittee the other day. When asked why greater speed
had not been shown in letting contracts for ordnance
and in other work of a similar nature, he referred to the
manner in which various departments and bureaus act
ed as checks on each other, resulting in delay at every
turn. .
That explanation may not be altogether adequate.
1t may develop that dry rot had infected the business of
the government, or that officials whose business It was

about the part theyl intended to play.
One of their kicks resulted in their
being armed with rifles, and "between
drinks" way up in the front line
trenches, to which they carried water
through whirlwinds of shrapnel and
shell. they did their own little bit Of
shooting.
"They were through the whole
business" said Colonel Patterson in
another place. from the landing to
the final evacuation"
AS a matter of. fact, they were the
last to leave.
"They displayed cool courage under
conditions which would have upset
the nerve of even Shadrach, Meshach
and Abednego In the fiery furnace.
Heavy she'll fire was their constant
lot"
In one battle the Inniskilling Fusil-
iers came to grief, and Colonel Pat
terson tells how the mule corps came
10 the rescue of the. Scotch regiment.
They were unloading a convoy, but
seeing how weak the I%nnishdlings
were, these Zionists, having the lust
of battle strong in them, left their
mules to take care of themselves, and
under the direction Of Corporal Hill
dersheim. leaped into the trenches
and materially assisted in repelling
the Turks"
1t is easy to understand. from
these..experiences with the lineal de-
scendants of Judas Maccabeus, why,
Colonel Patterson recently prevailed
upon the British war Office to permit
him to recruit a Jewish regiment to
night in Palestine. where only a few
days ago two scions of the house of
Rothschild, ~consecrated with their
life's blood the soil Of what Great
Britain has decided shall be the Jew

Archbishop Of st. Paul"
A CURIOUS CHOICE

(From Minneapolis Tribune.)
1t is curious that people who are
in touch with the situation and know
perfectly well the consequences Of
their own acts will persist in disloyal
acts and practices. They seem to pro.
coed upon the theory that the war
will last forever, or that if it does not,
that our W country is certain to
meet with defeat, and the power n
the influence of the enemy is sure to
dominate in this country. Otherwise,
how is it to be explained that Amer
lean citizens. normally interested in
the welfare of their own country and
cognizant Of its power, could be will
ing to place themselves in direct OPP
position to popular sentiment and de-
fy the good opinion of their fellows?
OF course, with some, financial con-
~siderations might overcome the OBJ
lection to being looked upon as out
casts and traitors, and perhaps that
explains in many instances the att.
tude Of disloyal men, but the induce
nlents must be considerable in order
to persuade the individual to adopt
a course of action which in the long
run is sure to bring upon him ig-
noniny and disgrace and cause his
memory to be held in contempt. Most
men shrink from the idea of dishunor
attaching to their names after they
are dead. But there are men in this
community who are laying up for
themselves stores of that kind. If
they are not being we'll paid fJr. it,
it is difficult to account for their will
ingness to insure for themselves the
evil fortune of a permanent reputa-
ton for dishonor.
The situation is not without pre-
cedent and the certainty of the o
sequences OF %disloyalty is not a mat
ter Of mere speculation but of pre-
vious experience. Men made names
for themselves during the Civil wal
which brought ineffaceable shame
upon themselves and have caused
their descendants to this day to shrink
from any kind Of identification with
them The same thing will fcllow

my WAY"

When q new baby arrived in r.
cave-famify. the next door cav.-iady
probably sent her oldest daughter
over to help out for q week or So.
And when this original maid went
home. she doubtless scolded for q
week about the way she had been
"bossed around"
Women have been mixed up in do
nestle service ever since, as mis-
~tresses and maids and between them
they have made out Of it the biggest
mess in human relationships-ex-
cepting only the war.
This Is bout the only one Of wom-
ans troubles which she cannot hlame

one relationship which women have
been left to work out for themselves
thout the guidance or the help of
men.
They might have made it the most
desirable of all employments, carry.
ing as it does board, room and wages.
But they have balled it up so COM
pletely that only girls who were very
much In need of homes can be tempt-
ed into it.

She is a New York invention. She
is sought by many employers, but she
abides only with those who know,
enough OF the modern woman-in-
business movement t let a good
worker alone-when found.
Now this upper class housekeeper
says Of her experience exactly what
the little cave-girl must have told her
mother centuries ago. Only she
doesn't complain Of 'bozsing." She
puts it dispassionately. as a college
woman should:

should look for results, and if they
are obtained, the manner Of DONG a
thing Is not important Standing
over a servant and directing every
step of the work is what makes II
dimcult." "
my way" turned woman's hrst
employment into her worst employ
ment. And lately it has been proved
that my way" is very often far from,
being the best way.
Lately the government has pressed
certain new ways upon the house
keepers notice. War economies have
shown her that my way IL BY no
means a sacred institution. Obviously
two women puttering around a xitch-
en-, n solely to boss the other, is
an awful waste Of human energy.
And so while housekeepers are re-
writing their books Of recipes. IL
might be well for them to censor their
old rules for running the hired girl,
and to delete the ancient cave -lady's
first paragraph which laid down my

down to Egypt out Of Palestine many

Colonel Patterson how he came to

most unique unit in the military an

ducts are derived from it, the cost Of extraction is high,
because to produce some of them slow and complicated
chemical processes are necessary.
The second feature that merits attention in this stuff
is that the comparison is made, not between the cost Of
the dressed carcass and the selling price of that carcass,
but between the cost per pound of the carcass as a whole
and the choice per pound of the choice cuts taken from
it. Every intelligent person knows that such a compar-
ison Is utterly senseless and unreasonable; but it is on
a par with most other Townley comparisons.
