However we agreed to see each other the next night to have another talk, and I thought. with the whole Atlantic be- tween us and France, I could persunde h1m n the meantime. Just as I was getting ready to go back the submarine alarm sounded which broke all the boys out of their hunks, seasick as most of them were.
 ran back to my place just in time to hear the rookie quartered over me arguing with the sergeant.
 Get up out of therer shouted the mon com" That's the U boat alarm"
 "l don't care whether we sink or not answered the poor boy. II hope she does. Don't bother me"
 The sergeant routed out the rookie without much ceremony, and I follow cd along to a place assigned to me on life raft, putting on my life belt as went. All the men had orders to don their life prcservers first and then % in an orderly manner to their places. Already there had been two or three drills in the daytime, and the disci- plined man soon catches on.
 When I ree.:hed the deck there was no confusion and no excitement in the pitch black darkness. The men were proceeding quietly to their places fas- tening on their life belts. although most of them had been wakened out of snor ing sleeps. and I was proud of the be- havlor of the soldiers Uncle Sam was sending to the trenches.
 If all our boys who are going to France obey instructions as well as that shlpload did there will be no ex- cuse for the loss of life. It all moved like clockwork. No one lost his head.
 My seasick rookie, however. climbed into the wrong boat and got call from the corporal

The Timid Rookie

We had hardly cleared the harbor when the rookie quartcrcd above me began to fret about submarines.
 What's the matterY" 1 hollered up. Are you afraid of U boats?"
 Well ain't exactly cheerful about them" he replied.
 The conversation seemed to relieve the strain, for he talked along continu- ously, for company l guess until the 1 old timer down below me broke loose with some conversation that would have to be printed on asbestos paper and concluded:
 Say, Ali, if you're goin' to get killed wish you would go outside and do it | and let some of us guys around here what needs 1t get little good out of this hay"
 The outbreak resulted in a lot more grumbles from other parts of the bunk room, and the poor boy had to toss about silently and listen to the rest snore. There were some snorers in that outfit.
 It wasn't long afterward that this
 
 seasick as anybody can become, I reckon. Then he was afraid we wouldn't meet q submarine or that the torpedo might miss us. ''I don't care what it is," he com plained, "so long as it stops this ship. ! Even a rock might do." l felt sorry for the boy and would | tn Tt dare. He had only been in the army about three weeks. He was homesick and seasick and everything else-a sad looking Sammy.
 Most of the soldiers were seasick, and there was lot of kidding from those who were not. However, a few got boastful at first only to keel over finally, and they caught it the hardest

 So far I had kept out of my bus bands way because I was afraid he might order me to report myself. Since I knew bis duties pretty we'll and where he would have to be at certain times could easily do this.

"JoAN THE WOMAN" MOTION
PICTURE OPERA!

What is said to be the first sue
cessful attempt to synchronize a long
picture production with musical
score has been accomplished by Will
liam Furst, composer of the lyric &C.
compartment to Joan the Woman"
This picture, which is in eleven reels
and takes about two and one-half
hours for exhibition, will be shown
at the Strand Theatre one week COM
mencing September 16. Miss Geral-
dine Farrar, noted American prima
donna, is the star, appearing in the
role of Joan of Arc.
This is not the first time Mr.. .Furst
has prepared music score for a big
Joan of Arc picture, as it was he who
composed the music for the Joan of
Arc pageant in the Harvard Stadium
in 1907, when Charles Frohman there
presented Maude Adams as the i'm
mortal Maid of Orleans. Some years
before that time and subsequently Mr..
Furst was music director for the en-
terprises of the late Charles Froh-
man and for David Belasco. His set
ting for "Kismet" and other produc-
tions attracted wide attention.
When Miss Farrar was at the Lasky
Studios in Hollywood, CAL, last sum-
mer appearing as Joan of Arc be-
fore the camera, Mr.. Furst at the same
time was working on the music score
for the production. This association
between the composer, the star and
the producer, Cecil B. DeMille, estab-
lished new kind of relationship so
far as the music setting in pictures is
concerned An incident of interest in
this connection is that when Mr.. De-
Mile came to New York and first
showed Joan The Woman" privately
to friends, he remarked when they
congratulated him, Il am glad you are
delighted, but wait until you see it.
at the same time you hear Mr.. Fursts
score" 1t was word Of prophecy
more than realized at the public ex-
hibition.

hope of success, they sacrificed their
lives to wake the undying spirit
which one day will bring nationhood
to Mother Erin.
Very Rev. Father Alexander Hickey,
president of st. Bonaventure College,
Allegheny, N. Y, the man responsible
for Father lief entering the priesthood
said he would willingly be RESPONSE
BILE for many other Father Tiefs. He
spoke reminiscently of his early days
in Ireland during Fenian and Hand
League Days and how his older broth
er, knowing he had learned of some
Fenian activities, "swore him on his
pipe" while minding sheep in the Gal
tee Mountains to become fenian.
Monsignor O'Reilly urged the audi
ence to devote their efforts at this
time, to secure complete independence
for Ireland. This could be done by
having President Wilson and Congress
include Ireland among the small ma
lions at the peace conference and in
sisting that she be treated as such.
America is in the war for the cause
of Democracy and she should obtain
that liberty for Ireland which Irish
men helped her to obtain for herself.
Father Garesche, S. j., of st. Louis
University and editor of the Queens
Work who was accompanied by Mr..

Talks were made by Mrs. Jones of
Pittsburg, Pa, Miss Ada Cannon,
editor of the Catholic Messenger of
Davenport, Iowa, and Richard B. En-

er has selected "The Road to Happi-
ness" comdy in striking contrast
to the successful "Just Woman"
produced last week, and which re-
ceived such favorable reviews from

Road to Happiness" which will have
it's first performance Sunday afternoon,
was popularized by William Hodge,
one of Americas most eminent coined

for two seasons. Albert McGovern,
leading man at the Shubert, who
scored so pronouncedly last week as
the dissolute husband in "Just a Wom-
an" will be seen next week in the
role originated by Mr.. Hodge.
The coming play has it's scenes laid
in a small village in northern New
York state, and the quaint country
folk of rural communities are the
characters of the play, and not the
least important of these is Jim Whit

Another reason why the Red

propaganda of physical prepared

OF Bohemia
lBy Ignats SpIeselkopfl
Berlin, April 20, 1t is my
good fortune, through acquaint-
ance with General Won linden
burg's laundress, to explain GER
tain military movements which,
to the stupid Yankee mind, may
appear like Entente successes.
The parsonage | have mentioned
is, you may be sure, familiar
with the Hindenburg line.
1t became evident some time
ago to that part of the General
Staff which has to do with the
intelIectuals of the enemy that
the Allies were not understand
ing the retreat of the Teuton
armies. Dummkopfs that these
English are, they could not see
what a triumph it was for Will
helm II, but kept on chasing his
gallant strategians as if it We're
ordinary warfare. What was to
be done in a case like that? Ha,
the very contingency had been
evolved by General Won Pickel
in 1888, after the army man
euvers at Dunkeldorffl His son,
the Baron Field Marshall Dill Won
Pickel, had only to open envelope
No. Y. 1888, inscribed When the
enemy is so foolish as to follow
up mastery withdrawal and
will not listen to reason. Inside
the envelope was the secret:
Send to the enemy, by means
of fictitious surrender, a sufficient
number of professors of tactics,
who will show them their error.
There, already, you have it.
These 10, or more supposed
prisoners taken by the Allies are
men trained from childhood in
the art of convincing deficient
generals who do not know when
they are meeting with defeat.
General Won Hindenburg, am
permitted to add, has hitherto
worn size III collars made by a
well-known firm in Troy, America,
but in view of recent events the
next collar he buys will be of
home manufacture. The General
no longer cares how he looks.
