Say, Don't Get
Fresh With Us! =
Is Motto of the Fighting Seventh Of
chicago-Famous Regiment-Was
Once Hibernian Rifies-Has 100
Men Ready for Action.

The fist of the army-that's what
they call the infantry divisions. And
Colonel Daniel Moriarty, commander
of the Seventh Illinois Infantry, is
training a regiment of men that will
be no soft, white and manicured hand,
but doubled-up, tough and ready-to-
fight fist.
Before men are enlisted in Colonel
Moriarty's command they are gagged
as to their willingness to scrap and
their fighting ability. Out of 2,347
applicants for enlistment, there were
approximately LOO turned down.
Colonel Wants Fighters.
Not more than 25 per cent was re-
fused on account of disability. The
rest didn't look and act like fighters.
When the colonel gave his staff in
structions as to enlistment, here's
what he said:
I'VE want to make this regiment
of fighters, men who will stick, drill,
train, work, and in the end trim the
Germans. We want men who will
Aght and fight like hi. Enlist no
Others"
The regiment looks the part of its
name, the Fighting Seventh" Very
few of them are in uniform, but they
all bear the stamp Of men who are
anxious to get at the foe. When the
time comes they are going to give 9
good account Of themselves. Their
motto is Don't get fresh with u.s.
Although the regiment is commonly
known as an Irish regiment, not more
than IS per cent are Irish. There are
Slavs, Italians, Jews, English and
many other nationalities.
Once Hibernian Rifles.
Before it became the Seventh Regf'
ment, Illinois National Guard, it was
known as the Hibernian Rifles. That
was before June 81, 1893, when it was
mustered into State service. There
were eight companies then, and they
were quartered, as far as possible, at
23 East Lake. street. They moved
from time to time. until they occu
pied the Tattersall Building in Chi
cago.

least half dozen printed schemes
sold in the shops, and there are others,
perhaps of more importance, being cir
culated in manuscript. One of these
know was drafted by distinguished
Irish jurist, Unionist, who has spent
his spare time for the last twenty
years in making stump speeches on
English platforms against any kind of
home rule whatever. He has made no
profession of conversion, but he rec
ognizes the inevitable.
The only real difficulty in the con-
vention will be postponed as long as
possible. That is the method to be
adopted to salve the fears or save the
faces of the extreme Ulster Orange
men. This is no longer regarded as
hopeless, as the moderate Unionists
are making impossible the position of
the irreconcilables. When the pro-
posal was first made to allow any
county to exclude itself from home
rule by vote it was estimated that GER
tainly the four northeastern counties
would stand out on a plebiscite. Now
the growth of conciliatory feeling
among the moderate Unionists is said
to be such that not more than two
counties, Antrim and Down, could be
relied upon to vote themselves out. AS
the two would be very lonely by them
selves, they are likely to be all the
more willing now to join in the gen.
eral peace in which they can get the
most handsome returns.
Protestant and Catholic.
1t is noted as significant that DR..
McCrery, the Catholic Bishop of Bel
fast, when the convention rose left
the building in company with Alexan-
der Mcdowell, one of the most promi-
nent of the northern Unionist dele.
gates, and remained in close conver.
sation with him for some time. Simi.
lar unexpected foregatherings are hap
pening every day. The Sim Feiners
have not attacked the convention, and
talk of it's being trap is no longer
heard. They are looking on with in
terest. 1t is a sign of the times that
a leading speaker on their platforms
actually declared that If the conven
'tion comes to any good the credit will
be due to the Sim Feiners.
Cosgrove, the victor at Kilkenny, II
a speech at reception here, declared
ireland is not pro-German or pro-Af

sion of the Irish people. For my part

Seaman Recruit
Paul Irving McDermott Of st. Paul
Tells About His First Week In
the Marine Service.

To q young man Of twenty-one who
has been trained to make intelligent
observation in his travels and expert
ence "trip from the northwest to the
Atlantic seaboard affords splendid
opportunity to stimulate the faculties
of mind and body. Such a trip has just
been made by our young friend, Paul
Irving McDermOtt, a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. j. McDermott, of st. Paul, who
enlisted in the United States Navy.
July 26 of this year, and Immediately
was transferred to the U. s. s: Rich
mond, at Norfolk, Va, to be trained
In the duties of the Marine service.
Paul Is a graduate of Central high
school, st. Paul, and was a sopho-
more at st. Thomas college last year.
He has been shaping his studies
toward the medical profession, but
his future course is now subject to
the exigencies of war; He has been
assigned to the musical department
of the service on board the Richmond,
but has not yet been able to take up
actual work in this line.
u
his parents he describes his journey
in detail-from st. Paul to Chicago,
thence to indianapolis and Cincinnati,
through West Virginia and old Vir-
ginfa to Newport News, where he OBJ
tanned his first view of the Atlantic
ocean; and thence by sea to Norfolk.
The letter then goes on to tell of the
methods of eating, the sleeping apart
ments, the conservatory for the musi-
clans, the care of the clothes, and the
routine duties of the day making a
highly interesting and instructive
piece of reading. Paul seems to have
the rare quality Of seeing and hearing
everything that goes on around him
and the faculty of making a fascinat-
ing record of them. His parents and
friends may take comfort in the ex.
pectation that they will be fully and
accurately acquainted with the subse.
quent happenings of his career.

Halls and chape|s
To Be Read y Soon
Knights Of Columbus War Activities
Room and Work for All.

Work on the recreation halls and
chapels to be erected at the sixteen
cantonments where the National Army
will be encamped for preparation for
the front is progressing rapidly and
the committee in charge Of these ac-
tivities is now assured that they will
be ready in time for the use of, not
only the Catholic soldiers, but for all
others who may visit the headquarters
of the order.
Father O'Hern has assured the COM
mittee that a sufficient number of
priests will be obtained to attend to
all the spiritual needs of our boys. In
addition to the regular Army Chap
lains who will go to France, this COM
mittee will send a number of priests
to assist in the work.
Many organizations of women, in
various parts of the country, have
volunteered to furnish vestments,
altar linens, altar vessels, and all
requisites for the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass. This is splendid work and
will be great help t6 the committee
extending its usefulness beyond an
ticipated limits.
Masters of the Fourth Degree in
some jurisdictions have started a
movement to supplement the work Of
this committee in collecting Ntera-
ture for use in the camps and at the
front. In many sections of the coun-
try the ladies are organizing for
work of collecting literature of a
religious and secular character for dis
tribution among the soldiers.
With view of avoiding duplication
of work and energy, all endeavors of
this or any other character should be
reported to the committee at Washing
ton for the committees approval. This
is considered necessary in order to
prevent unauthorized and unscrupu.
lous people from imposing upon the
public in the name of the order.
; The committee is now engaged In
sending to France representatives who
will take up at once preparation FOL
the work in that country as we'll az
priests who will as soon as they ar
rive proceed to the front with oul
soldiers now in the camps there

National Catholic
Mar Council
Permanent Organization Effected as a
Result Of Catholic Congress.
Problems Of the War Discussed From
Religious Viewpoint.
Many Valuable Suggestions Offered to
Safeguard Men in Camp.

That the people of the United States
are keenly alert to provide everything
in their power to safeguard the soldier
boys in the physical as we'll as in the
moral sense, is evidenced by the mani
fold preliminary measures that have
been adopted or are in course of pre-
paration looking toward this worthy
objective. The lessons of the Spanish
war have not been forgotten, and the
experience of the European nations
afford a practical and valuable source
whence may be derived the ways and
means with which to avoid the disas-
trous errors and miscalculations of the
early period of the war. To consider
and study the war situation in respect
to the spiritual and moral needs of
the soldier and arouse the whole Cath
olic body to sense Of its duties and
opportunities in the premises was the
central theme of the great Catholic
Congress which held its sessions at
Washington, D. c., during. the closing
days of last week. As a result Of its
deliberations permanent organiza-
ton known as the National Catholic
War Council has been formed which
will take charge Of the seyeral activ.
tiles proposed for the war period. This
council will represent the whole Cath
olic body Of the United States and its
completion was provided for as ap-
pears in the resolutions given below.
The activities Of the War Council
are not, Of course, to supersede but
to supplement and include the work
Of the Knights of Columbus which is
endorsed as the representative Cath
olic body for the special work they
have undertaken.
But the Congress evidently foresaw
that the full strength of the church
must he hxonght into action for the
| accomplishment Of the tremendous
tasks at hand, and with commendable
foresight took steps to coordinate all
its. farces for the, great campaign --of
service and opportunity. It was con-
vened in response to an appeal issued
under the authority and direction of
Cardinal Gibbons, Cardinal Farley and
Cardinal O'Connell, to which fifty-five
Bishops and Archbishops throughout
the United States responded Sixty
fdioceses and archdioceses were thus
Represented.
The addition to the general purpose
Of the promotion of the spiritual well
fare of the troops, the care Of those
left at home by the enlisted men, will
receive attention, as we'll as the pro
lection and safety Of young women
living in cities and towns which are

Especial News.) :

Dublin, Aug. 25.-The most interest
ing topic in the Irish Conference at
Trinity College when it assembled this
week was the news of the Kilkenny
election, where ex-Alderman Co.'S
grove, Sim Feiner, was elected to
Parliament over ex-Mayor McGuin-
ness, Liberal-Nationalist, by 772 to
1872. Kilkenny City, one of the most
ancient boroughs, is thus carried by
the Irish Republicans, making the
fourth seat they have gained in Ire
land. That they have carried every
bye election held since the war seems
to indicate strongly the drift of
things, and the conference for the
Irish constitution seems not to be
blind to the fact. The conference or
convention, as some call it, may, after
all, lead to good. There have been no
fights, such as the press predicted.
The proceedings are less like those
of a senate on an oratorical field day
than those of board of hard-headed
railway directors planning amalgama-
tion and revision of routes and rates.
Business is not to be managed by
ninety-five takers. They appointed a
working committee of twenty. There
might have been trouble in picking out
the twenty, but on motion of the
Orange Archbishop of Armagh, sec
onded by the nationalist Archbishop
of Cashel, they got out of the diff
Guilty by leaving the selection of the
twenty to the small committee of five
which had secured without debate the
unanimous approval of it's election OF
Sir Horace Plunkett as chairman.
In some of the leading minds the
question is being agitated as tt
whether the convention shall take the
existing home rule act as the basis o
discussion and work for its emenda
ton or whether it shall start quite
afresh. 1t is regarded as certain tina
the latter course will be adopted. Sil
Francis Hopwood, the secretary, wht
is an expert on colonial constitutions
had practical experience in the crea
tion of the commonwealth of NSOutl
Africa. His view that the members o
the convention need education in tn
technical side of the business is, NJ
doubt, true, but their education will b.
rapid for most Of them have beel
keen students of constitution making
and some of them have shown pre-
found acquaintance not only wit
colonial models, but with the classi
discussions which preceded the cor
struction of the Constitution of tn
United States.
