There have been persons in the past
who have questioned Catholicism : pa
triotisn. They have doubted the LOYALTY
of the Catholic church in our country
to the government of the United States
OF America, and have claimed it is sub
servient to the political interests of the
pope. The Catholic church in the Unit
ed states has risen admirably to the
perplexing situation which it has had to
confront in the present crisis Catholic
sons are marching off to war under the
stars and Stripes as willingly and as
cheerfully as are the sons of Protestant
ramhles. Differences of religion have
been forgotten in time of great national
danger, and all are united in deter
nnnation to stamp Prussian autocracv
and the military party of Germany from
the face of the globe. Who can doubt
the patriotism of the Catholic church in
America?

GERMANY'S DAMNING RECORD IN
BELGIUM

Des Moines Capital: So far the out
side world is concerned, the little king
dom of Belgium is a sealed book. The
outside world could not get a line of
printed matter nor a page of manu-
script, nor a telegram, nor telephone
message into Belgium under any cir
cumstancs, or by any possible means.
The principal industries of Belgium
have been destroyed by the Germans;
millions of her population are on the
edge of starvation. Germany has
robbed her banks, or at least has taken
possession of them, and will ultimately
rob them. On one pretext or another
men and women are losing their lives IN
Belgium The dead wall continues to
claim its victims. All this work of
meaness and destruction is being done
by the German empire, by the full
knowledge and consent of the kaiser.
There is no means of knowing the full
extent of the Prussian destruction, but
this much is known that no Belgian
dare open his head or raise a hand in
defense of himself or his family. The
Belgians continue to be deported to
Germany. Those who are not deported
are made to perform some kind of work
for the aid of the war against them
selves. Not in thousand years has
the world afforded an example of so
much brutality heaped upon a helpless
people by strong and powerful PEG,

MEN WILL WIN WAR

Portland Oregonian: The war is not
to be won in the air.
The war is not to be won on the sea.
The war is not to be won by eco
monte pressure on Germany.
The war is not to be won by a revo-
lutipn in Germany
The war is not to be won by our
money or food.
The war is not to be won by a
miracle, nor by some new and astound-
ing invention, nor by good luck or good
wishes, nor by waving of flags, nor
dress parades, nor stump speeches.
All these are needed as accessories; but
the war is to be won on the field of
battle by American man power, face to
face with the man power of the enemy
That is Gerard IS message to the people
of America. The sooner it is understood
the better for the republic.

Today, slightly more than half year

American people entered the war for
humanity, one million of the country s

trained or partially trained for the line

lions of dollars of money have been
raised for the prosecution of the war.
The navy has been trcbled in ships and

pie are permitted to know, Uncle Sam s
soldiers, who long since have been land
ed on French soil, have not in appreci-
able number stepped into the heat of
the conflict. But the next six months
will tell a different story. While pre-
partitions at home will proceed at a
pace even greater than that displayed
during the last half year, and hundreds
of thousands more men will be trained
as soldiers, it is safe to say the khaki
clap trooper in France will get in some
hard blows at the bochcs. American
soldiers will be granted that long sought
opportunity to do their share in the
trenches alongside the British and the
French, and their mettle will not fail
them. American determination to win
will here be received in manner even
more pronounced than that exercised at
home in preparing for the fight.

TOBACCO FOR SOLDIERS

Most men, and not few women, use
tobacco i'll some form. Smoking is per
haps the most popular use to which
tobacco is put. Despite the almost
general use of the weed by men. there
are some who profess to be "conscien-
tious objectors,' and who look with
adherence at smoking and chewing.
Many of these persons, who regard the
use Of tobacco as virtually a sin. have
protested against campaigns to raise
funds to provide smokes for our sol
diers in France and in the various con
centration camps in the United States.
They have looked upon the enterprise,
promoted by public spirited citizens, as
not i'll harmony with the welfare of the
boys who are to fight for their country.
They would discourage the sending of
cigars, cigarets and the "makin 50
to those boys who have left their homes
and gone to a strange land to defend
the honor of their country.
Tobacco has worked wonders for the
British and French soldiers And it
will likewise work wondrously for the
Americans. Tobacco to the wounded
soldier is comforting. Wounded, bleed
ing soldiers have often been known to
quite forget their pain when, as they
were being conveyed from the trenches
to the emergency hospitals, just back
of the firing-line, they were handed a
cigaret. If there is anything which will
in the least add to the comfort of the
men in France, wounded or not wound
ed, it should be given to them. Men,
who every minute of the day are facing
death, should have all comforts it is
possible for the folk at home to give
them. We in America should not quib-
BILE over whether or not it is right to
send tobacco to our boys overseas, and
to our allies. OF course it is right and
proper that we should do everything
within our power to tighten their bur
den.
Simply the thought that they are re-
membcred by the home folk, when a
package of tobacco arrives at the front,
is enough to put new courage into the
boys and to stimulate them to greater
things ON the field of war. A cigar or
cigaret is soothing to the man in the
turmoil of battle. A smoke is a tonic
to the nerves, and surely the fierceness
of battle is enough to try the nerves of
any man. Not man gets into the real
fight who is not afraid. This is the
testimony of men who have been there
and who have come back, disabled, yet
happy for the fact that they are still
alive. These men invariably express
gratitude for themselves and their brave
comrades, living and dead, for the
smokes that have been sent to them by
the generous people of America.
Tobacco is peculiar thing. Its
stimulating power at times is extra
ordinary. Of course the habit of using
| tobacco can be cultivated and grows on
one, and often it becomes an expensive
habit But what care we for expense,
when, perhaps, preservation of the
morale of our armies rests with the
solacing effect of providing them with
plenty of smokes2
