At this season of the year our
Catholic educational institutions
make special appeal to prospec-
tive students; and Catholic par
ents would do well to study the
advantages of each closely in or
der to make a wise selection for
their children. Parents who, up
to the present, have given little
thought to this important matter
should bestir themselves so that
no hasty or ill-advised decision
may cause regret in the future.
For Catholic parents it is a ques-
ton of deciding which Catholic
school they will patronize. The
parochial school is the logical one
for the younger children: the
Catholic high school, academy, or
college for the older ones. AS a
general rule, there is no need to
look beyond the confines of the
State for such institutions. Min
nesota and the Northwest is well
equipped with Catholic schools
of higher education and their ap-
peal for patronage should not be
overlooked. Only for special
reasons and in rare cases is there
any necessity for Catholics to
send their children to schools at
a distance. They should take
advantage of the opportunities
at hand and send their children,
as far as possible, to the Catholic
schools established in their i'm
mediate vicinity.

We are beginning to realize
what it means to be at war.
Young men are called from their
homes to the ranks, from the
peace and security of civilian pur-
suit to the hardships and dangers
of military life. Even before they
get a glimpse of the yawning
trenches, they will have realized
what state Of war means; and
when we see some of them return
ing to this country, manned in
body and broken in health, the
realization Of what war means
will be brought home to us with
poignant grief for the sacrifice Of
life and health which it entails.
The sooner we face the situation
squarely and not try to hide from
ourselves the real meaning of the
warlike preparations through
which our country is passing, the
better it will be for ourselves and
for our youthful soldiers. They
need more than our sympathy and
applause: they need our prayers
and our help, both moral and
financial.

WAKE UP.

What has become of those bright,
animated men and women who few
years ago took such an active interest
in the cause of total abstinence? Are
they dead, or only sleeping, or have
they become so modest and unasSum
ing that they have stepped down and
out for fear of further honors being
thrust upon them? We know that
they have not deserted the ranks
that the love of the cause is still in
their. hearts; but there is need Of a
general awakening genuine, old
fashioned revival. Oh, for the spirit
of Father Mathew to arouse them
from their lethargy! Oh, for the old
time enthusiasm when societies
sprang up everywhere, wing with each
other in numbers and strength. True,
there are many faithful workers in the
field good, loyal, steady, members
who are ever ready at their post.
They have kept the spark alive and
will be faithful to the end. And then
we have the new "Reminiscences,
willing workers who can be relied
upon on all occasions. But we need
the old ones, too. We cannot afford
to lose any in our ranks. And now
that the total abstinence cause is seen
in it's true light, things are quite diff
ferent. To be a total abstainer now
is the proper thing. 1t is no longer
considered queer nor eccentric to
practice this virtue, and it is only the
foolish few who destroy their health
by indulging in alcohol. In this rapid
age in which we live, when the nerves
are stretched to their utmost tension,
we cannot afford to waste our energies
so foolishly. In the mad rush that is
ever going on around us for wealth,
honor, and fame, we need clear heads
and steady brains, if we wish to take
part in the conflict. This fact is being
realized more every day, by every
class of society, from the common
labOrer to the brightest statesman.
Men and women, too, have become
very wise on this subject. Education,
more than anything else, has made
things so. They understand thorough
" why they are total abstainers, and
eAAO uceCi AooAA0AuACoS VI DClHS uAy
thing else. Look at our Andrew Car
negie. Did you ever study his bill of
fare? There are no wines nor liquors
on it. And J. Pierpont Morgan, a
man of millions, also joined the ranks
of the total abstainers. So you see it
is more than fad 1t is wise, sensi-
BILE conclusion reached by all who wish
to win success in life.
Then let everyone who knows what
a good thing it is, come forward and
show by his example what it has done
for him. Let all the old-time members
give testimony of the faith that is in
them, and in this way, and this way.
alone, will our ranks be increased.

1t is repugnant to Christian
feeling, writes Barring Gould, to
think that the body of the Blessed
Mother Of Jesus should have be-
come prey to worms; that Jesus
Christ, Who assembled into heaven
IN His human body, should suffer
the flesh of His Mother to see cor
ruption. The natural instinct of
the Christian heart proclaims the
truth of the Assumption on
the death of Our Lady, her Divine
Son should have assumed her body
and soul to His heavenly mansion.

Russian embassy it was stated to be
wholly incorrect in fact.
State Department officials say that
while German attempts by inuendo
to fasten on France vast campaign
of conquest, with hope of making
breach with the new Russian democ-
racy, Michaelis makes no suggestion
that Germany has herself In any way
revised her war program or accepted
the principle Of no annexation.
The new attempt at peace Is con-
sidered as hollow as the many others
which have always followed a sue
cessful offensive. The maneuver is
viewed as similar to that one which
had the purpose of getting the allies
about conference table where Ger
many hoped to instill differences be-
tween them and split up the alliance.
The government, 1t Is stated, will
take no notice OF the latest German
effort. Secretary Lansing's speech,
although delivered before the Michae-
lis interview was published, is taken
as complete answer in stating that
peace can only come when the united
force Of the worlds democracies has
overthrown the Germany military
system.
