YOUR LAD, AND my LAD

Down toward the deep blue water,
marching to throb of drum,
From city street and country lane the
lines of khaki come;
The rumbling guns, the sturdy tread,
are full of grim appeal,
While rays of western sunshine flash
back from FURNISHED steel.
With eager eyes and cheeks aflame the
serried ranks advance;
And your dear lad, and my dear lad,
are on their way to France.
A sob clings choking in the throat, as
file on file sweep by,
Between those cheering multitudes, to
where the great ships lie;
The batteries halt, the columns wheel,
to clear-toned bugle call,
With shoulders squared and faces
front they stand khaki wall
Tears shine on every watchers cheek,
love speaks in every glance;
For your dear lad, and my dear lad,
are on their way to France.
Before them, through mist of years,
in soldier buff or blue,
Brave comrades from thousand fields
watch now in proud review;
The same old Flag, the same old Faith
the Freedom of the World
Spells Duty in those tapping folds
above long ranks unfurled
Strong are the hearts which bear
along Democracy's advance,
AS your dear lad, and my dear lad, go
on their way to France.
The word rings out; a million feet
tramp forward on the road,
Along that path of sacrifice DER which
their fathers strobe.
With eager eyes and cheeks aflame,
with cheers on smiling lips,
These fighting men of IT move on
ward to their ships.
Nor even love may hold them back, or
halt that stern advance,
As your dear lad, and my dear lad, go
on their way to France.

gaping, the wonderful carvings were
defaced, the roof had fallen in. The
little soldier wept, and then he fell
to thinking. Going up to the lady in
black, he offered her twenty sous
piece, his savings, and summoning his
best French he said simply, pointing
to the ruin around them: ITO mend
it," He felt that if all the soldiers he
had seen and all the men and women
of France also offered the little that
they had, perhaps all this beauty
might yet be restored.

The reports that were sent to Mon
signor John E. Burke, Director Gener-
al of the Catholic Board for Mission
Work among the Colored People OF
the United States, at the end OF the
school year, have been cCllated. Since
the organization of the Board in 1907
the figures have never been more con.
soling. The Board, of which he is the
head, collects money throughout the
North to support the schools and
churches that seek to win the Colored
population Of the South to a knoWl-
edge of the faith. Nearly three thou
sand dollars are expended monthly in
this manner. During the first half OF
the year this money has been gather
ed in the dioceses of Pennsylvania
and at present the priests who assist
the MonSignOr are at work in Ohio.
In the fall they will labor in Michigan
and Indiana. According to the report
and two schools of partly high school
character have been opened during
the past twelve months. In MISSISSIPPI
pi great impetus has been given the
educational missionary propaganda by
the Fathers of the Divine Word. In
Louisiana the Fathers of the Holy
Ghost have energetically thrown them
selves into the new field opened up to
them by the late lamented Archbishop
Blenk. In Texas through the help of
the Board and a donation specifically
directed, fourishing parish school
has been erected.
One of the comforting signs of the
sterling Catholicity that exists in all
parts of the country was offered by
the generosity of a family in Boston.
A struggling pastor in the South wrote
to Monsignor Burke that school was
absolutely needed in his place if the
children were to be held to the faith.
| At the moment the Director General
was not in position to supply the
| demand. Shortly afterwards he
| brought the matter to the attention of
the Richards family of Boston, whose
father was the most prominent Ameri-
can brought into the fold by the Ok
| ford Movement. Father Richards, the
| eminent Jesuit, is a member of the
family. His brother and two sisters
gave the funds needed for the erection
of Father Massey's school in Tusca-
loosa, Ala, in gratitude for the grace
of conversion granted to their father.
If more of the jealous Catholics of
the country could be brought to the
realization of how much the schools
mean to the Colored race and how
many thousands might be saved by
their instrumentality there might be
more imitators of the generous Rich
ards. Monsignor Burke, in the cur
rent number of Our Colored Missions,
the official organ Of the Board, pays a
deserved tribute to the good people
who have enabled him to preserve the
faith in one corner of the South From
his offices at One Madison Ave-, New
| York, he would be pleased to send
out information about the educational
and religious needs of those for whom
he labors. All contributions and in
quiries should be addressed there.

TROUBLES Of FUEL
| ADMINISTRATOR
Effect of DIR. Garfield'S Work
Nullified by the Transport
tatiOn Tie-Up.

Washington, Dec 26.-Much Of the erect
of the fuel administrations work has beer
nullifed, Fuel Administrator Garfield told
the Senate committee investigating the
coal situation to-day, by the Transports
ton tie up. He said little general relier
could be expected until the railroads were
put under one management. and that II
the war continued long time. it would be
necessary for the government to take over
the coal supply and parcel 1t out equit-
ably.
The Administrations efforts have beer
directed to a great extent to the stimula-
ton of production to meet demands or tha
war, but DIR. Garfield said, because of the
| traffic congestion 1.-THE more we produced
the more trouble we added to the rail-
roads" The normal ten per cent. increase
over the production of last year has been
maintained he added although the wal
has brought a demand for an additional
ten per cent. over the 1916 output which
| has not been met.
In the past few days the private COP
| sumner has been given more consideration
| than heretofore. DR.. Garfield explained.
| At first the main idea was to supply the
government and the railroads, but with
| suffering due to the shortage in many
places, he said, the administration re-
| Gently had devoted most of its time To
attempting to get coal to places where
it was most needed Conditions already
are better, he stated. though the situa-
ton would not be until transportation
facilities were greatly improved
| DR.. Garfield said he was not familiar
| with dividends many of the coal com.
panies were paying, but that he believed
many operators were making more money
than ever before. Good prices he re-
garded as necessary to large production
Senator Vardaman. member of the
committee, insisted that the operators
were plundering and robbng the people
and the whole power of the fuel admins
| tration should be employed to stop it.
