NEITHER FEAR
NOR FLINCH
SAYS CARDINAL
L. S. Soldiers Told They Go
to War As Christians
and Americans

birmingham, Mass, Aug. ST.
Cardinal O'Connell came here to-day
TO celebrate early mass at Camp Me
Ginnis, where members of the One
Hundred and Fifth infantry are sta
toned.
At the conclusion OF the service the
cardinal spoke to the men of their
duty to America and civilization in
the present conflict.
The head of Christaindom and
the leader of democracy, our Holy
Father the Pope, and our peace low
ing President, are both working" he
said, for the same ultimate pur-
pose, permanent peace, and their
united endeavors, with Gods help,
will surely win. And you, with pCI-
feet, serene faith in our holy pom
tiff's prayers and perfect serene con-
fidence in our Presidents purpose
will by your courage, your self con-
troll, your discipline, aid powerfully
the tremendous spiritual force re-
sulting from the noble approach
ment in intention and sentiment of
the two greatest influences in the
whole world, the head of the old his
toric church and the head of Amer
lean democracy - the two powers
which will, God helping both, in the
end succeed in routing this spectre
of awful war and binding all the
peoples of the earth in understand
ing and amity.
Justice and Fairness
THE basis of all future peace
must be justice, and fairness, and the
common rights of manking.' These
are our Presidents own words; these
/ know to be the identical senti-
ments of the Pope.
You constitute a goodly part of
the great heart of America which
yearns for a lasting peace and is
willing to offer her best that all the
peoples of the earth may be rescued
from the perpetual menace of war,
and all the cruelties of constant con-
flict."
Reminding the soldiers that duty
had calle' them to a high service
a service demanding perhaps the
greatest of all sacrifices - Cardinal
O'Connell said:
"As Christians you will not fear,
and as Americans you must not
finch"

protection being supplemented when
the danger zone is reached by the de-
stroyers and other patrol craft
American naval officials believe an
effective system for checking the
submarine menace is being built up
gradually but certainly. Many de-
vices and methods enter into the
task. Among other things, depth
bombs are proving effective. Official
reports indicate that American de-
stroyers have accounted for several
U-boats with these weapons
No u-boat has been captured by the
Americans.
1t is the best judgment of high Of
ficials. however, that several have
been sunk by Admiral Sims Destroy
ers. and they are more confident than
ever that the submarine menace will
be substantially abated as the number
OF destroyers and other craft avail
able is increased

LITTLE GIRL MEETS
DEATH IN HER PLAY
Fay Osborne Falls and Strikes
Her Head with Fatal
18St1ta -, -.

Little Fay Vivian Osborne, the flve
year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Osborne of this city met with
sudden and unexpected death yes
terday (Tuesday) afternoon. The sad
accident occurred in the yard at the
Mrs. Morse residence, 104 East Litch-
field avenue where H. G. Lonien's re-
side, where the little girl had gone
during the afternoon and was play
ing with other children.
The distressing occurrence was wit
messed by Mrs. H. Hanson who lives
across the street. She tells that she
saw the little child leave her CON-
rades on the west side of the house
and go skipping around tho house to
the front porch. When on the front
steps, she fell, whether tripping her
self, slipping or losing her balance
while jumping, Mrs. Hanson was un-
able to tell but she struck the cement
walk face downward. She raised her
self partly up but sank down again
giving a little cry. Realizing that the
child was badly hurt, Mrs. Hanson
rushed to the place and carried the
dying child into the house. The doc
tor and the mother were called. The
doctor found that her neck had been
broken and nothing could be done to
save the life Of the unfortunate girl.
The blow is a crushing one to the
parents and especially is this true OF
the mother who must lose her only
child in this sudden manner. The
father is railroad man and has lived
in Willmar for some time.
Fay Vivian Osborne was born Au
gust 7th, 1912 at Sioux City, Iowa, and
was an unusually bright child for hel
age, and loved by everyone who knew
her.

LOCAL RED CROSS

The Kandiyohi County Chapter OF

ter have been received by the Red
Cross Supply Service at Minneapolis,

press the highest commentator for
the care that had been used in max
ing up their contents. Some of the
garments sent are being used as mod
els for the work elsewhere. The box
es included pajamas, hospital shirts,
knitted work, bed socks and wraps,
substitute handkerchiefs, tray cloths,
etc.
The Red Cross officers are making
excursions into the country districts
in order to awaken interest in the
work. They will visit Tripolis and
Sunburg during-the next few days.
There are many elderly ladies', espec-
ia1lv who w0u1d ha p1ad t0 knit arti.
