 Brothers Gleason and Harrington triumphed over Brothers Lavin and Slocum in the debate at last Thursday evenings session on the subject, Should the United States Have En- forced Military Service?" Past Grand Knights Ryan, Whitney and DeSousa were chosen as judges and rendered a dividend decision, the majority being for negative debaters.
 An interesting paper on the origin, growth and meaning of the Rosary was read by Brother Charles Snyder. His carefully prepared paper on the subject was highly complimented.
 Several visiting brothers were called upon by Lecturer w. J. Burns for an expression, and their remarks were both interesting and instructive. Each of them spoke of the friendly man ner in which they have been received by local members.
 If you are not helping to increase the number who will be ready to take the third degree. you are not doing all you should to add to the prosperity and success of the council. Each member is requested to report to the next meeting or by letter 10 the fi- nancial secretary. the name of at least one eligible candidate. The big ger the class. the better will be the third degree. To make the class a big one, the members must all do their part, and they can best do this by getting a candidate.

ENJOYED MOVING PICTURE

Many people visited the George E.
Brett Inc. and enjoyed the interest
ing and instructive moving picture
"The Silk Industry" which was
shown on the third floor of the store,
the show being free to everyone. The
immense amount of work required to
produce piece Of finished silk can
only be realized after seeing this pic
ture which shows the entire process
from the growth of the silk worm,
the Keeling off of the cobwebby silk
from the tiny cocoons by the deft
fingers of Orientals. Leaving Japan
the raw silk is taken to the immense
mills of Bedding Brothers & Com
pany, Michigan. where it is trans
formed into thread silk. and into
beautiful silken fabrics. The wonder
full history of piece of silk is surely
as thrilling as any romance, although
the wearer of a silk dress seldom
bothers her head about anything but
the price and style of it. The picture
is a worthy educational production.

GOVERNOR OEISLAND DOESN'T
HAVE TO WORRY
Country Has No Army to Support; Nix
Navy; Place Is Without Police; People
Pay No Taxes; Movies and Theatres
There Are None; All Doctor Bills Paid
BY Danish Government; Happy Tine
Of 1t In Far-0ff Greenland
From Wednesdays Daily.

London, January 10.-[COrrespon-
dence of The Associated Press.l-
The Eskimos of Greenland are prob
ably the only people in Europe who
are not interested in the outcome of
the great war. Such is the impress
sion given by Jen Dangaard Imsen,
governor of Greenland, who has
come all the way to London to ap-
pear as a witness in claim of the
Danish government 10 a cargo of
fish sliced by the British as a prize
of war.
"They have heard of the war;
said the governor, "but they have
only vague impression of the gil
gantic struggle. Two Eskimo papers
that are published once month give
them rough idea of the conflict but
the issues are entirely foreign to
them. These papers are printed by
native printers trained in Denmark.
In them are reproduced war pictures
taken from the Danish papers"
DepIore Waste of Life.
The waste of human life makes
the deepest impression on these
Greenlanders, according to Governor
Dangaard. "The Eskimo believes it
wicked to kill humans" he went on.
"He kills all animals and thinks he
has a perfect right to do so but he
shrinks from the thought of taking
a humans life. He heard of men
being thrown against machinery in
the great struggle to the south OF
him and believes the whole thing
absurd"
The governor summed up the
Greenlander's unique position which
he remarked may have something to
do with his detachment from the
war. "The Greenlander," he said,
has these advantages:
"He has no army to support.
"TIe has no navy to worry
about.
There are 'on no policemen Is in
"He has no taxes to pay.
"There are no movie shows or
theatres.
'All doctor bills are paid by
the Danish government.
Condition Is Unique.
s'There," added the governor,
.you have a condition unique among
the peoples of the world. And it
must not be forgotten that the
standard of civilization among these
Arctic Highlanders is being raised,
slowly by necessity. l am also
pleased to report that his numbers
are increasing. The present popula-
ton of $4,000 shows growth of
about 71a per cent in ten years.
"The Danish government, which
controls the country, carefully looks
after the well-being of the Eskimo,
and by rigid ban on visitors to the
country-nobody is allowed to go to
Greenland except by a special per-
mission-leaves him to develop on
natural evolutionary lines"

TABLED THE RESOLUTION
Carnival Spirit Dominated the Min

nesota Lower House.
Charles B. Cheney wrote this for
The Minneapolis Journal:
Representative H. M. Green Of
Blue Earth county, who told the
house that every resolution he had
ever drafted had been passed unan-
imously, lost his first resolution
fight in the house late yesterday, a
struggle which will go down in
Carmichael's pants Mr.. Green had
introduced the resolution last week,
calling attention to the proper dig
nifty and decorum Of the house, and
declaring that carnival garb should
not be worn in the house chamber.
Bob Carmichael, who has been
wearing a pair of red trousers into
the house sessions, setting off his
elongated extreInities in color far
outdoing his hair, stopped the reso-
luton when it came in by notice
of debate. Not satisfied with that,
he assumed the aggressive Monday
and with an impassioned speech
praising the carnival spirit, moved
to send the resolution back to its
author.
"Mr. Green accepted the challenge,
and first informing the house of his
prowess as a resolution builder, he
outlined his ideas on the carnival.
1t was all right in it's place, he as
serted, and its territory extended to
the very doors of the house, but
ought to stop there. He was ready,
he said, to lead carnival process
