This battle, in which the German

which Lafayette was badly wounded,
was a defeat for Washington, al

make an orderly retreat The Amer

blood in this conflict, but it had
previously been displayed at Fort
Schuyler, on the present site of the
city of Rome, n. Y. This garrison
made the banner by cutting up sheets
to form the white tripes, bits of scar

the first to display the Stars and

sailed from Portsmouth, N. H., in the

American banner first floated over a
foreign stronghold in June 1878,
when Capt. Rathbone, commander of

Washington, Oct. 13.--The inven-

destructive agencies of war empha-
sizes the fact that tho Americans
may be a peace-loving people they
have been quick in bringing into the
world the most powerful and ingen-

Away back in the days of the
American revolution American small
arms were famous, and these guns
caused Gen. Howe to write home
about "the terrible guns of the reb.

ers, and an authority has written:
I'm the Colonial days the residents
of the Atlantic seaboard were the
greatest users OF guns of their per-
iod, and gunmakers' shops were in
every city and town. With little
knowledge OF the science of ballistics,
these men perfected the American

1t was an American who invented

1885, but at the beginning the ar

gave the inventor his first opportun-
ity. and his revolver proved effective
in terrifying the Indians in Flori-
da.
1t came into use in large numbers
during the Mexican war in the hands
of the Texas Rangers. The revolver
of that period was far different from
the type of today. The powder had

DAILY COMMUNION.

Realizing the tremendous .bene-
fit that accrues from a daily in
timacy with our Divine Lord, the
Holy Father has proposed for the
month of December the intention,
The Daily Communion.
Among the various methods de-
vised by God to bring His crea-
ture into intimate relations with
Himself, none is greater or more
efficacious than the august sacra-
ment of the altar. Here Christ in
ineffable majesty dwells ever i'll
order to be in the midst of men.
He desires nothing more ardently
than to be not only in the pres
ence, but in the very hearts of His
followers. By pouring the full
ness Of His Sacred Heart into the
soul Of the devout recipient, Christ
transforms that soul into re-
ceptacle of the Divinity. Man be-
comes the possessor, the guardian
of the Godhead. In that awful
relation man finds it difficult to
do aught that would tend to dis
miss his Guest. On the other hand,
man receives from the plenitude
of the merits of Christ far great
er abundance of blessings than
would be his were he merely to
visit the Divine Prisoner in His
tabernacled dwelling.
In the early ages of Christian
/ ty the faithful were wont to re-
ceive Holy Communion whenever
they attended Mass. 1t was I'M
derstood that when a Christian
went to Mass he also received his
Lord in the Blessed Sacrament
Present-day usage seems to sep
arate the two acts too widely
Sunday Mass and yearly, or even
monthly, Communion, is a poor
substitute for the fervor incul-
Gated by early custom. Many

Inconvenience, could approach
this banquet table daily, or at least
weekly. Such practice would
enrich their souls with untold
graces, and would serve as 6
powerful deterrent from sin anC

GREAT BRITAIN PRAISES AD-
MlRAL BENsoNs WORK.

News has reached Washington that
in an unofficial communication issued
in London ON November Is, the British
admiralty says: ''Since the arrival in
England of Admiral Benson and his
staff he has been in frequent confer
ence with the first lord of the ad-
miralty and with the chief and prin-
cipal members of the naval staff. He
also has visited the commander-in-
chief of the grand feet on board his
flagship, and is now visiting our prin-
cipal naval bases. Great benefit has
been derived from these meetings and
from the interchange of ideas, and
cooperating between the American
and British navies thus has been
made easier and more complete
This creates no surprise in the ma
tional capital, where Admiral Benson
is chief of naval operations, right
hand man of Secretary Daniels, and
who directs operations of fleets by
wireless all over the globe. He is
known as the ''big brains behind big
guns" and his watchword is, "There

year she appeals to man with spe-
clal force IN order to arouse him
to a serious consideration Of the
life of Immortality.
The two most appropriate sea-
sons of the year for impressing
upon man s heart and mind the
grandeur and the splendor of
Christ's redemption are those
commonly called Advent and
Lent. During Advent we are sum
moned to prepare for the spiritual
coming of the Redeemer: Lent
awakens in us thoughts of love
and affection for the Savior in the
agony which accompanied His
closing years upon earth.
Advent is period in which
every Catholic, every Christian,
should practice introspection. He
should during this time visualize
the eternal truths as summed up
in creation, sin, the Fall, and the
Incarnation. He should indulge
in brief respite from worldly
cares and pre-occupations in or
der to gain a closer view Of the
things Of eternity. the only things
that will everlastingly matter
when earth and it's petty problems
shall have long since disappeared
in the dim twilight of Time. In
the long eternity that awaits him
man will look back with pleasure
or with regret upon the manner
in which he busted himself with
trifes Of earth. Honors and
power, wealth and position, which
now loom upon his limited hori-
zon, will then appear in their just
proportions they will then appear
as absolute nothingness compared
to the important events that
gradually will be unfolded for an
endless duration.

It is well for parents and
guardians to keep particular
watch on the conduct and where
abouts Of their daughters during
the present period of unrest, 1t
is no exaggeration, but a serious
and timely warning, sounded by a
contemporary, who calls the atten-
ton of parents and Of the public
in general to the danger OF losing
sight of the welfare of our girls.
Any stain upon the potential
motherhood of this land will make
of this war a sad defeat for our
nation, no matter what brilliant
victories we may win upon the
fields of battle.
HThe lure OF the uniform,
says the Christian Herald, has
spread its net for the llnwary feet
of our untaught girls, and they
are being swept from their moor
ings by the hundreds, aye, by the
thousands; and the mothers boys,
who should also be protected from
these dangers, are being hurled
into the vortex.

SERVICE FLAGS.

As all indication of the indi-
vidual interest and enthusiasm i'll
the war, may be noted the custom,
recently introduced, Of proudly
displaying a flag of service: the
red banner, with blue stars OH a
field Of white. The idea seems to
have been taken up at once, as it
arouses personal and individual
sentiments of esteem and pride i'll
those who have gone from our i'm
mediate circle to uphold Old
Glory. Firms and corporations vie
with one another in displaying
grandly to the world the starry
group of it's members who are
somewhere" doing their bit for
the nation.
Churches and other religious Or
carnations have fallen in line with
the new idea, and are unfurling
their service flags that all may
know the number Of men each
unit has sent to the front.
Throughout the East these flags
are in great evidence: the West is
just waking up. In the eastern
states parish churches, Hibernians,
knights of Columbus, Foresters
and other societies have hung out
service flags to every breeze of
heaven In the West, churches
and Catholic organizations have
been rather slow in this patriotic
work. Patriotism here is as strong
and vigorous as anywhere in the
Union: then why not give con-
crete evidence in the shape of a
service flag. There is no reason
why every Catholic church and
school, every one of our many So
cieties should not proudly fling
to the breeze a flag emblematic of
the number of it's members who
are engaged in defending the hon
or of the country. The especially
large number of Catholics who are
to be found in the army and navy
"a larger percentage than our
proportionate population would
seem to justify this action. 1t
would show, at the same time, to
our fellow-citizens the pride we
take in sharing the dangers and
perils to be met with in preserv-
ing our national institutions from
all harm.
