France as fighting men, and they WALL
to get there quickly.
Reports from Ave or six OF the DIE
training camps. Secretary Baker an
nounced tonight, show when they are
asked what they wanted to do. The
great majority Of the men say they
don't care what their Job Is to De-
just so they get TO France among tho
first. and then when given chance
between the combatant and noa-
combatant branches most of them
elect to be fighters.

one OF the most charming songs Of the

Fight Your Rheumatism
With the Right Ammunition

Of tiny germs. which are entrenched
in the blood where they cannot be
reached by locally applied liniments.
They must be literally routed and
forced out OF the blood by remedy

them to flight.
For more than fifty years S. s. s.
has been recognized as the most re-
liable blood remedy made. It goes
deep down into the blood cells. and
rnrifies and cleanses the circulation
of every trace Of ilnpurity. 1t Is the
right ammunition for Rheumatism

Nebraska has existed since the ear
lest times. Long before Columbus
discovered America the land which
we now call Nebraska was here.
And researches indicate that it was
in existence at least 10000 years ago
and maybe 100000 years.
At that time the world was far
different from what it is today. 1t is
probable that land extended all the

Review By Archbishop Harty of
Cardinal Gibbons Autobiography

Here is brief review Of Cardinal
Gibbons book, "a Retrospect OF Fifty
Years according to your request:
The interest that this work cxcites
is thrcefold: First, it is keen pleas
urc to follow one so venerable and
so beloved through the eras and
events that the book records; second,
we realize its great historical impor-
lance, and, third, we feel its salutary
effect. Indeed, it grows to be an
unconscious and edifying autobiog-
raphy. 1t tells the history of the
Vatican council, convened in Rome in
1869 by Plus TX, which defined the
papal infallibility; it gives very in
teresting personal diary kept by the
author at this period; also a descrip-
ton and an Introductory explanation
OF the presentation to Rome of the
cause of the American Knights Of La
Dor, which saved this organization
from condemnation and it presents a
fine series OF papers and magazine
articles prepared for various occa-
sions. The cardinal tells US that he
is the last of the fathers OF the Vati-
can council and we certainly honor
him as the only living witness OF that
memorable assembly. When we fol-
low his graphic narration of the as
sembly as a whole and of the personal
members of it we are impressed with
the vastness of universal truth and
OF the worldwide membership OF the
church gathering together bishops
from every country on the globe. Eu-
rope, North and South America, all
OF the Oriental nations and Oceanica.
The author aptly likens the council
to second Pentecoste. Two points
in the proceedings he emprasizes--the
deliberateness, conscientiousness and
thoroughness with which the matter
proceeded and the full liberty of
speech that was accorded to all men,
bers Of the body.
The succeeding papers in the book
on questions OF national or sociologi-
cal interest show not only genuine,
painstaking attention to the various
matters considered, bat likewise the
authors earnest allegiance both to
country and to faith. His work is a
sincere expression of Catholic Amer
icanhood and will we'll repay the read
ing Of ii.
The work is also the expression Of
the authors personality, giving the
elements Of this with originality, sin,
cerity, frankncss and good will to al
men. no matter what their color o.
