KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Respond Nobly to War Relief Work
Magnificent Instance Of the High.
est Form of Patriotism.

Under the caption of "Maysville"
The Catholic Telegraph of November
20, has this to say regarding the
Knights of Columbus War Fund, COL
lected last week at the st. Patrick
Parsonage and Church:
There is no hard and fast rule by
which patriotism may be measured.
Yet, If the value of cause is to be
estimated by what is given therefor,
then true patriotism is the very wool
and warp Of the congregation of St.
Patrick Church here, judging by the
flesh and blood and the treasure
which that congregation offers in an
swer to the call of our Country.
when the tocsin to arms was
sounded, twenty-one young men, the
very flower of the flock of st. Patrick,
offered themselves, and were accepted
to fight the cause of our Country,
ready to sacrifice their all, if need be,
for the land that sets us free. Great
er love than this no man hath" Those
of the congregation who are not in
the military camps or at the front,
unable, as yet, to place themselves
within the fighting ranks, have given
the best, next to themselves-their
treasure-and that without rallies,
speech making or ward and district
workings as did another local move
ment. To the X. of C. War Fund the
St. Patrick congregation of this city
has given the splendid sum, of ST.
267.55. 1t is believed that few con-
gregations throughout the land, of
the size and financial standing of
this, can present such a magnificent
instance of the highest form of pa
triotism."
1t should be remarked that to the
above $1267.55 should be added the
sum of $1O3 collected within the To-
cal Council Chamber of Council 1877
Knights of Columbus to the X. of C.
War Fund. This makes grand to-
tai of $1,97O55 to the X. of C. War
Fund from Maysville.

The new Sammies were given a

The occasion of their. arrival was
uaae a memorable one by special
welcoming ceremonies, in which 10
Cal officials combined with the mill

celebration.
Blaring French bands, trying their
best to rattle off American rastime

with otherwise must have impressed
the militia boys as unlike anything
else in the world.
The Americans were welcomed like
heroes. The French population
dressed in it's gayest clothes, march
ed side by side with the detachments
festooned the soldiers with garlands
of flowers and decked them out in
tiny American flags.
Within "a hours the militiamen

Huntington, w. Va, December l.
Huntington, with the cooperation
of other Ohio river cities, Is to f.

Huntington, willing to cooperate
for freight line between this city

These points were decided upon
last night at a Joint conference of the

provement committees of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, together with the
traffic bureau of the Jobbers' and
Manufacturers bureau of the Cham
Der of Commerce.
Business men, now just beginning
to feel the pinch of wartime conges-
ton of railways, declare that a reviv-
al Of river transportation, aside from
Its peace-time advantages in lower
rates, has now become a matter OF
vital necessity to manufacturers and
jobbers. Boats, 1t was said, are al
ready faster than freight trains and
with the effect Of war priority rail
shipments Just beginning to be felt
it was declared that the Ohio river
offers a route for the commerce OF
manufacturers and jobbers which it
would be folly not to utilize.
Indeed, the business men agreed, il
is patriotic to revive river commerce
now. Every added pound of freight
that goes over the river relieves the
railroads that much, and thereby aids
Uncle Sam.
