What are we going to get out or

Well. among other things. we are
going to get better grade of patriot

We are going to put an end to

We are going to quit making the

We are going to love every foreig-

TOmmies Strive to Forget
Grim Work While Fighting
Battles On Western Front

People can get used to anything,
even to the business of war. Were it
not so, those who have to keep on kill
ing Germans month in and month out,
would go mad and bite somebody.
Out among the guns pounding the
Germans to pieces near Lens it was
tea time. Overhead seven British
planes were winging past on their
way to a match with the enemy in the
clouds. Now and then a 6-inch shell
exploded in the vicinity of the Brit
ish batteries. Under a scrap of can
vas serving as shelter from the mid
summer sun sat a Canadian major,
commander of battery of howitzers
He was bareheaded. On a wooden
hand grenade packing case was a sup
OF tea. The major was in his shirt
sleeves. In his hands was a book and
pencil. Jotting something down in
the book, the major laid it face down
on the case, took up a slice of butter
ed bread and bit off a mouthful. Soon
he called out to one of his guncrews
nearby:
Number 2, four, seven, five, nine"
Number 2 crew lifted a huge shell
into the howitzer's breech. closed and
locked the breechlock, sighted and
stood by. one of the men holding the
lanyard taut in his right hand In his

lowing a gulp of tea the major picked
up his gunnery book and casually or
dered:
Number l, fire."
The howitzer next to number 2 bel
lowed so the country round about
echoed and rocked to its thunder. The
major put down some figures and re-
freshed himself with more tea and
bread

Naval Secretary Accepts
Bishops Offer; American

who espoused his cause, he arranged
for the pope-at that time, Leo XIII
to ask for the resignation of the uni
versity's rector. The German accom-
plished this by base lies. When the
pope's letter arrived one of the great
est asitations ever known took place
in the American church.
The rector, Bishop Keane, resigned
as requested. Then the storm broke.
Catholicism arrayed itself on opposite
sides; there we're charges and coun-
tercharges; and Rome, alarmed, ord
cred a complete investigation.
Perhaps never in the history of the
church has a more spectacular trial
been held than that of Schroeder. The
event was thrilling-almost melodra
matte. Schroeder was found guilty
on charges of a personal nature, and
dismissed from his chat. Disgracec,
he went to Berlin; and Berlin award
ed him for his efforts, even though
he had failed
Briefly, this is the story of brazen
attempt on the part of the Imperial
German government to gain a strong
foothold for the furtherance of her
anti-American work in the very shad-
ow of our capitol In view of the uni
versitys recent offer to the nation, it
is of timely interest. No more is
there a faint of Germanism in that
great institution-it is as purely Am
erican as the impressive pile of gray
stone that sits quietly and majestic
ally on the Potomac, but a few miles
away; another Catholic college,
Georgetown. a college whose priests,
whose traditions and whose ideals
have been as staunchly American as
is the document with which it was
born-the Nations constitution. So
long as that constitution is American,
so long viii Georgetown be American.
And that long the Catholic church in
America will be American.

The pope's peace proposal from the
viewpoint of a Catholic prelate in this
country would be an interesting thing
but doubtless hard to obtain. 1t isn't
even a matter for speculation. Ger
tainly the priesthood must have eX
perienced strangely conflicting emo
tons, for at the time of the Roman
announcement no group OF men were
working more fervently to lay low the
power of Prussia than the cassocked
hosts OF the Church in America
Perhaps the best example possible
to cite was the recent announcement
that the secretary of the navy had
accepted the offer OF Bishop Shahan
of the Catholic University in Wash
ington, D. c., to take over Gibbons hall
for use in naval laboratory training.
The offer, as originally made by the
bishop, was the entire plant OF the
university-the buildings. the equip
ment, and the professional and stud
ent body for the president of the Uni
ted States to use as ne saw fit. Here
is one OF the biggest and finest acts,
in its close analysis, that the nation
has ever known; and to one who
knows the history OF that university.

thus keep alive their German alleg-
lance Six or seven years elapsed,
