Denver.-Governor Gunter has issued
the following proclamation:
To the People of the State of Colo
RADIO: A state of war exists between
the United States of America and the
imperial German government. Every
thoughtful citizen, while determined
and confident of the issue, realizes the
awful and stupendous character of the
world conflict upon which we are en-
tering. Calmly, patiently, thoughtful
ly. in the fear of God, and in obedience
to the principles of international law,
our country has proceeded. Every rea-
sonable effort known to the law of ma
tions, or to intercourse between civil
lied peoples, has been made to avert
this conflict-yet made in vain Our
country now has no other recourse in
defense of our rights and the honor Of
the nation, but to declare war. War
has been declared AS becomes a
brave, proud and patriotic people, the
citizenship of Colorado will Loyalty bear
their full part in this struggle, will un-

l, JULIUS c. GUNTER, AS GOV
ERNOR OF THE STATE OF COLO
RADIO, do hereby enjoin upon our peo-
pie the strict observance of every pro
vision of our Presidents proclamation
declaring a state of war, and especial
ly urge considerate and just treatment
of all aliens within our borders, who
are observant of our laws.
This conflict may be long. 1t will
certainly demand largely of our re-
sources. AS the Chief Executive of
the State l urge loyal response to all
calls for volunteers, state and nation.
The young men of our commonwealth
are as loyal as were their forefathers.
They are patriotic, brave and manly
and require no conscription to respond
to their country's call. Let there be
no halting step in the action of the
youth of our State.
We must solemnly realize the de-
mand that will be made upon our peo-
ple-money, provisions, men. Let
economy be entered upon. Every citi-
gen, whether it be by the garden tract,
the larger area, or aid by seeds, mon
ey, or otherwise to the farmer, should
endeavor to increase our food produc-
ton. There is now no scarcity OF food
products, no occasion for purchases
which will stimulate prices and add to
the burdens of those i'll able to bear
them; but there should be economy
and provision for the future. Our
maidens. our women, should continue
in the work they are entering upon,
preparing to serve their country as
nurses and otherwise. Let our girls
and boys of tender age be trained in
their line of service. They will be
needed before this struggle is over.
In conclusion, let every citizen of
our state perform-as he will-his full
duty. In asking service OF our citizen
ship, the Executive appeals to our cit
izens of all nationalities and all be.

those native to our land

Washington, April 11.-Much of the
uncertainty as to Latin-America's at
titude in the war between the United
States and Germany was cleared
away by definite advices that Chile
and Mexico will remain neutral, and
increasing indications that Brazil.
Guatemala and Peru will join Cuba
and Panama on the side of the United
States.
The decision of Chile, the first of
the South American republics to an
nounce her neutrality, caused some
surprise among officials here. In
many quarters it had been expected
that she eventually would break with
the Berlin government but would post
pone her decision until advised def
nitely of the course of Argentina and
Brazil, the other members of the in
fluential A B c group in South
America.

Very Rev. Fr. Murphy
PROVINCIAL OF THE AUGUSTINE
IAN ORDER DEAD.

Very Rev. Nicholas J. Murphy, Pro-
vincial of the Augustinian Order in
the United States, died last week in
the rectory of the Church of st. Mich
olas of Tolentine, New York City,
where he had served as rector since
1910.
He was born in New York City in
1856. He was ordained in 1877, and
served as rector in churches at
Schaghticoke, n. Y, and Philadelphia.
He founded the Church of Our Lady
of Good Counsel at Tompkinsville,
S. L., where he served as pastor for
eleven years. In 1914 he was elevated
to the head of the Augustinian Order.
The Very Rev. Charles M. Driscoll,
0. S. A., rector of the Church of St.
Rita, Philadelphia, has been raised to
the position of Provincial, through the
death of Father Murphy. Elected
to the provincialship of the order
about twenty-five years ago, he
now becomes head of the Augustinians
in this country, as we'll as of their mis-
sions in Cuba and the Philippines.

CATHOLICS AND ART

church is dwelling ON the sublime
subjects that a great artist has found
worthiest texts for his magnificent
decorations. The general impression
of the whole work is such that but
one thing is lacking to make it per-
feet, namely, that the hall should be
dedicated to divine worship.
Another great artist, whose pic
lures adorned the Library, when
seeking a fitting subject for his work,
found that he would not do better
than to go back to the old times, the
old beliefs, and the old practices.
Mr. Henry Abbey chose the story of
the Holy Grail. The Quest of the
Holy Grail has a particularly strong
appeal, for it embodies the inspira-
tion and the emotions that spring
from the heart of men. The story
of the Holy Grail with its appeal to
brave, pure hearts is one of the sub
limest ever told to man. In our own
time Wagner chose it as the subject
for what he fondly hoped would be
the greatest musical drama ever writ
| ten.
Catholicism and art are inextricably
| interviewer whenever there is ques-
tion, in the Christian era, of supreme
| ly great art. Where Catholicism
dwindles, art disappears. Protestant
ism ruined the art of Europe. Now
that art is coming back, the old Cath
| olic subjects return with it.

that his estate be divided under the

Protestant clergyman, Catholic
priest and Jewish rabbi. The rea.
son, the will says, for this unique re-
quest is that each trustee will watch
the other, and that money given tC
charity will be rightly applied. The
estate, estimated to be worth 100000
will be divided among the poor OF

the doctor saints towers aloft the
learned patron of your college
Thomas of Aquin, the Angel of the
schools. In him we have united the
massive mind with heroic sanctity, the
saint and the scholar. Endowed with
an intelligence second to none, he was
humble as the least of the brethren
of his order. Firm as a rock when
defending the sacred cause of truth,
he was meek as child and a model
of obedience. Never for a moment
did he pride himself on the gifts God
had given him, rather following the
example of st. Paul, he looked upon
himself as a servant, drawing but a
little from the vast storehouse Of un-
profitable knowledge. Never did he

He cared little for the praises of men.
The Goldman alone he strove to
please. And as we look upon the vast
number of his works, one alone of
which would seem to be the labor of
a lifetime, we cannot help thinking
that this almost superhuman success
must in a large measure have been
due to the silent prayers, and the mid
night vigils which no one heard or
saw but God. The precious legacy of

DR.. WALSH, IN AMERICA, SHOWS
HOW THE MODERN DANCE is
INJURIOUS TO HEALTH-CABA-
RET DANCING AND THE DINNER
DANCE PRODUCTIVE OF VARI-
Gus FORMS OF ILLNESS.

1t is matter Of common knowledge
that the American public is obsessed
with the fad of dancing. Young and
old dance, as they say, in the morning,
in the late afternoon and far into the
night; but my own observation in
many cities has led me to the conclu-
sion that the term dancing, as applied
to the movements in vogue in restau-
rants and cabarets, is misnomer. The
so-called dancers, as far as | have been
able to observe, merely walk about
the room, wrapped as closely as pos
sible in each others arms. They
move, it is true, to the acCompani-
ment of music, give occasional wrig-
giles, retard their progress now and
then with hesitations, and go through
fantastic "gyrations' of the shoulders.
But it is only by a gross misuse of
the term that such procedures can
be called dancing.
The same trivializing tendency has
affected music as well. 'Ragtime'
alone is popular. 1t furnishes certain
recurrent emphases that are distinct
