PRESIDENT WILSON CALLS UPON
SCHOOL CHILDREN to- JOIN
JUNIOR RED CROSS.

President Wilson has issued a proc
amation calling upon the school chill
iren of the nation to do their part il
The war by joining the Junior Rec
Cross, to assist in the mercy work Of
he senior organization. The procla
nation follows:
To the School Children of the
united States:
A proclamation: The President
of the United States is also presi-
dent of the American Red Cross.
1t is from these Offices joined in
one that I write you word of
greeting at this time when so
many of you are beginning the
school year.
The American Red Cross has
just prepared a junior membership
with school activitieg, in which
every pupil in the United States
can find a chance to serve our
country. The school is the natural
center of your life. Through it you
can best work in the great cause
of freedom to which we have all
pledged ourselves.
I, Our junior Red Cross will bring
to you opportunities of service to
your community and to other COM
munities all over the world, and
guide your service with high and
religious ideals. 1t will teach you
how to save in order that suffer-
ing children elsewhere may have
the chance to live. 1t will teach
you how to prepare some of the
supplies which wounded soldiers
and homeless families lack. 1t will
send to you, through the Red
Cross bulletins, the thrilling stor-
les of relief and rescue. And,
best of all. more perfectly than
through any of your other school
lessons, you will learn by doing
those kind things, under your
teachers direction, to be the flu
ture good citizens of the great
country which we all love.
And I commend to all school
teachers in the country the simple
plan which the American Red
Cross has worked out to provide
for your cooperation, knowing as
LIDO that school children will give
their best service under the direct
guidance and instruction Of their
teachers, Is not this perhaps the

TRYs CAUSE-"SHE OWED US
NOTHING, BUT SHE GAVE US
ALL"

Andrew Alexander Bruce, native
of the Madras presidency, India,
went to school in England till he was
Is or older. He was graduated at the
University of Wisconsin in 1890. He
came here an English alien, observes
an exchange. In 1911 he was made
an associate justice of the supreme
court of North Dakota. At the din
ner of the American Bar association,
recently, this naturaliZed citizen,
who has found an honorable and
distinguished career in the United
States, uttered a sort of confession
Of faith in his adopted country, doc
trine of loyalty that is sound for all
times and of the deepest particular
truth and necessity in these:
Il and millions of others like me
came to this country alone and with
out friends. We sponged on all that
America had, her free lands, her free
schools, and above all, her spirit Of
openhearted comradeship. She owed
us nothing, but she gave us all. We
should be ingrares, we should be ours,
if in this hour of her need we couh-
seled with her enemies or were dis
loyal to her cause.
but there is a deeper reason for
our loyalty. Ours is government OF
law and not of despots, and our flag
is not merely the flag of a nation but
of the nation of nations. We should
be loyal because the German doctrine
of divine right and might is opposed
to all that we have inherited and all
that our flag stands for"
To- Americans of foreign birth, to
all Americans, these words apply
Born here or elsewhere, we owe
America everything. We must be
ready and willing to pay the debt.

of this work are five hundred First
Communions amongst the troops, two
hundred baptisms, and two thousand
illicit unions regularized
Bishop Venturnini is delighted with
the results of the devotion, which, he
says, are as great as successful
Lenten mission. The devotion is
practised in order to proclaim the
sovereignty of the love of the Sacred
Heart; to bring about a victorious
peace; and to promote the renaissance
of Italy to Christian life.

Faith in the world as we have it today,
Faith that God for His purpose doth

PASSING OF PIONEER DAYS TO BE
MARKED BY GREAT MONU.
MENT-TWo PRIESTS AMONG
PIONEERS TO BE REMEMBERED
IN BUFFALO BILL TEMPLE.

The plans for the erection of a mon.
ument on Lookout mountain, near
Denver, to Buffalo Bill Colonel w. F.
Cody), who was baptized on his death
bed by a Catholic priest, have grown
until it is now proposed to construct
a great memorial temple to the Pho
neers of America" Buffalo Bill is to
be particularly honored in this, but
other pioneers, discoveries and eX-
plorers are to be concentrated.
There is only one Catholic on the
Americas Pioneer Memorial Com
mittees," which are in charge of the
erection of the magnificent temple,
but gratifyingly large number of
Catholics, with two priests, are includ-
ed in the great men to be honored.
This occurs because. Catholics were
particularly identified with the days it
is intended to commemorate.
The first Catholic on the list is
Christopher Columbus, discoverer of
America. He was faithful son of
the Church all his days, and the great
est of all modern Catholic societies,
the Knights Of Columbus, bears his
name.
The next is De Soto, who discover
ed the Mississippi, Missouri and White
rivers. He was a Spanish Catholic.
The next is Coronado, who explored
the great southwest in 1870 He was
also a Spanish Catholic. The next is
Pedro Menendez, who. In 1864, first
explored Florida. He was Spanish
Catholic The next is Samuel De
Champlain, who discovered Lake
Champlain and Lake Ontario, dying
in 1856. Jacques Cartier, another
French Catholic, is to be remembered
because he also made great explora.
lions in these regions.
Next on the list are several non.
Catholics-Capt. John Smith, William
Blackstone and Peter Stuyvesant.
sThen we reach the Catholics again
with Father Marquette, great Jesuit
missionary to the Indians, who, with
Louis Joliet, built st. Ignace, Mackinac
Island, Michigan, and explored the
Mississippi. Father Marquette died in
1876 at st. Ignace.
William. Penn, the Quaker, comes
next on the list, then there is another
4 Catholic-Chevalier de La Sale, who
followed the explorations of Father
/ Marquette on the Mississippi river
continuing to the Gulf Of Mexico ant
naming Louisiana. La Sale died il
1905.
Daniel Boone is next on the list
being honored together with Simon
Kenton, Colonel Benjamin. Logan
James Harrod and George Yeagor
None of these men, we believe, was |
Catholic.
1 General George Rogers, non-Cath
olic, is next, then we have anothe

What is property, after all? The
law says there are two kinds, real and
personal. But it seems to us that the
only real property is that which is
truly personal, that which we take in
to our inner life and make our own
for ever, by understanding and admir-
alton and sympathy and love. This is
the only kind of possession that is
worth anything.

WOMAN'S DRESS NOT MODERN
That Dame Fashion Has Reigned
for Quite Lengthy Period.

Rock drawings recently laid bare in
to us a very interesting period of pre-
historic man. From q lecture recent
~ delivered In London by Sir Arthur
Evans of the British Archaeological as
sociation it appears that palaeolithic
woman was not only dressed but most
gracefully. At Cogul the drawings in
dictate that the sacred dance was per-
formed by women, clad from the waist
downward in well-cut gowns, whilst
in the rock shelter of Alpera the dress
of the same Skirted ladies is supple
mented by thin flying sashes In the
paintings at Cueva de la viege women
are seen with still longer gowns ris-
ing TO their hosoms. their shoulders
yelled in scarfs.
Thus we are astonished to find that
fashion has a much longer history
than has been hitherto believed.
These recent discoveries are the
more interesting because hitherto
amongst a wealth of wonderfully
drawn animals and sign writings the
human figure has been extremely rare
in European discoveries of the kind,
and it is reassuring to know that our
predecessors at period even as re-
mote as this were not without the
charm and comfort of clothes and
that woman was then, as now, pr
oneer in the great and enthralling arts
OF dress and adornment.
