VESTMENTS OF MASS
MEANING OF THE VARIOUS VEST
MENTS-PRAYERS WHICH THE
EACH.

When vesting for Mass the priest
puts the veStmentS on in the follow
ing order: He places over his Shout
ders the amice-a white linen cloth.
Next the alb, long white garment
reaching down to his feet He draws
it about his waist with the cincture,
or white cord. He places on his left
arm the maniple, or short, narrow
vestment. Around his neck he places
the stole, long, narrow vestment
with cross on each end. Over all
these he places the chasuble, the
large vestment with a cross on the
back. Lastly he puts on his cap or
berretta
The amice is piece of white
linen, oblong in shape, which the
priest rests for moment on his
head and then spreads on his shout
ders. 1t has a tape at each end of
the upper corners with which to
fasten it.
Writers have given many mystical
meanings to the amice. 1t reminds
us of the veil with which the Jews
covered the face of Jesus when they
struck Him.
While putting on the amice the
priest says: Place upon my head,
o Lord, the helmet of salvation, that
| may repel the attacks of the evil
one"
Some religious orders, such as
Connnhinc Int L,
amice over the head until the be-
ginning of Mass.
The alb is long white garment
Sometimes it is made entirely of plain
linen. sometimes the upper part only
is of plain linen, and the skirt of
lace
1t is symbolical of innocence, and
represents the white robe with which
Herod clothed Christ in mockery.
When putting on the alb the priest
says: Purify me, o Lord and
make me clean of heart, that,
washed in the blood of the Lamb,
| may possess eternal life"
The cincture or girdle is the white
linen cord worn around the waist to
hold the alb in place. 1t represents
the ropes with which our Lord was
bound and the rods with which He
was scourged
The priest says when putting on the
cincture: "Gird me, o Lord, with
the girdle of purity, that the virtue
of CONTINGENCY and chastity may re-
main in me-
The maniple is small vestment
worn on the left arm. 1t is of the
same material and color as the chas-
uble. On it there are three crosses,
one in the middle and one on each
end.
The maniple was formerly a hand |
kerchief used by the priest at Mass
to wipe his face.
1t is symbolic of trials and sorrow.
The priest says when putting on the |
maniple: May | deserve, o Lord, to |
carry the maniple Of weeping and |
sorrow, that may receive with joy
the reward of my labors.''
The stole is a long, narrow band |
OF the same material and color as
the chasuble, which hangs down
from the priests neck and is crossed
on the breast. 1t is the distinct sign
Of the priestly power, and is there
fore used in every exercise of that
power, as celebrating Mass, admins
tering the Sacraments, preaching, |,
blessing, etc.
II symbolizes the yoke Of Christ.
The priest says when putting on the
stole Restore to me, o Lord, the
'tole OF immortality, which I lost
trough the transgression Of nv first

The chasuble is the Mass vestment
proper. 1t is the large vestment with
cross on the back which covers all
other vestments. 1t varies in color
according to the feast or time of the
year. 1t represents the purple gar
ment worn by Christ before Herod.
1t is also symbolic of charity. When
putting on the chasuble the. priest
says: 20 Lord, who has said, My

German Government Had Actually Considered Holding Gerard as
 a Prisoner.
HE ARRIVES AT BERNIE
Representative in Spain Gets Word That Gerard Is Safe Today in
 Switzerland.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-The ar rival of James VI. Gerard, United States Ambassador to Germany, at Berne, Switzerland, is announced in a dispatch from him to Ambassador Willard at Madrid, Spain The lat ter forwarded this information to the State Department here without any extra details.
 From European sources, outside cf the German government, the Unit d States government has learned hat Germany actually did consider Ambassador Gerard as hostage until t had received adIces from Wash .ngtOn detailing arrangements for the safe departure of German Am oassador von Bernstorff.
 In confirmation of the plan of the Germans to hold Gerard the follow ng dispatch was received last night Copenhagen - Berlin is holding Ambassador Gerard as hostage.

State Department is in Receipt of AdivCeS That U. S. Lead Not
 to Be Followed
DISAPPOINTMENT IS FELT
Belief Is Expressed That NeutraIS Hearken to the 0ffiCiaIdom
 of TeutonS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. z. - No neutral European nation will follow the lead of the United States in breaking diplomatic relations with Germany. That was made certain today by information reaching the State Department from the various ambassadors, consuls and consulate agencies of the United States in foreign countries.
 So far as South and Central Amer ican nations are concerned, they have adopted a waiting attitude but information that has reached here indicates that they will decline to follow the lead set by President Will son their proposition being to wait to see what Germany will do in abridging their rights.
 There is sincere disappointment in official quarters over this re- suit. President Wilson has hoped that all neutralS would follow the at. titude of this government and that they have proven not to do so is be- lieved here to be certain that they are to hearken to Germany'S official dom.
 In other sources theer is discern. ed a reason for several neutrals from following the lead of the United States. Several countries would be at the mercy of the Germans who would undoubtedly start violations of neutrality, the Germans thus hop ing to plunge entire Europe into a war and perhaps haStening peace, notwithstanding the extra and need less shedding of blood and heavy toll of lives.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-FoIlowins most severe criticism by Senator John D. Works, of California, on the Presidents action in seVering dipIo- matic relations with Germany Sen. ator w. j. Stone, of Missouri, called up his resolution asking the Senate to indorse the break.
 "Refore speaking on the resolution Senator Stone read a cabegram from London approving in local paper and telling of the demand in that city by an American subject" on hearing the break.
 Americans are not subjects" said Senator Stone. "They are citizens and proper to be referred to as such"
 Senator Stone expressed hope that the people would mot be swept off their feet by a propaganda put forth to carry the United States into war. We should look to our own course in our own way.
 "Foreigners should attend to their own business"

King George Declares There Is No Basis for Peace at the
 Present Time.
oUTRAGES THREATENED
Peace of the World Is Essential to Progress
 of Civilization in
 Present Conflict.

LONDON, Feb, 7,-England's de- termination to fight on until vic- tory is won was reafirmed by King George today in his speech at the opening of Parliament. The King declared that there is no basis for peace at the present time.
 "The enemy recently made cer- tain overtures," said the King, with a view to opening peace negotia- tions. Their tenor, however, gave no possible basis for peace. "
 Regarding suggestions from the government of the United States, the King said;
 Tn answer to the invitation of the American President we have outlined, in a general way, our war aims. Threats of further Outrages against international law, against humanity in particular by our ene- mics will only speed us in our de- termination to win.
 My people and the peoples of our brave allies are all resolved up- on securing reparatOn for the past, restitution for the wrongs inflicted, and guarantees for security in the future. These we regard as absO- lutely essential to the progress of civilization"

Alaska by the road builders has meant
in the way of hard work. II is rec
