IF the Philadelphia Press.
To which the reply was made:
"The attempt to date things forward

was first made in 533 A. d. by Ro-

in the year 754 after the founding Of
Rome. Early Christians had put It IN

APPEAL OF ST. VINCENT De PAUL
SOCIETY.
Christmas Donations Are Requested to
Aid Charitable Work-speciai Work
OF the Coming Year Will Be to Assist
City Missionary, Father McRaith.
Hope to Raise Notwithstanding Has
Been Heretofore Done by
Members.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 10, 1917.
Dear Friend:
Last year for the first time the Par
ticular Council of st. Vincent de Paul
Society made an appeal for funds in
this city. 1t was then explained that
the Council was recently formed and
was composed of it's own officers and
the Presidents and Vice Presidents of
each Of the parish Conferences Of
which there are ten in Minneapolis.
We feel sure that the work of the
Society has in the meantime become
more generally known, and that our
appeal this year will meet with greater
success. About $500 was collected
last year
The special work of the Society dur
ing the coming year will be to assist
the City Missionary, Rev. Father Nc
Raith. From report made by him
recently at our quarterly meeting it
is evident he is greatly in need of
funds for providing homes, schooling
and recreation for destitute and or
phan children, and for the assistance
of the poor in many other ways.
The City Missionary's work and the
general work of the Society will be
much curtailed unless this appeal
meets with a generous response. It
is hoped that Conferences will be
formed in many of the less prosperous
parishes and that the Particular Coun-
Gil will be able to lend financial as
sistance in all parts of the city.
We hope to raise at least $4,000 and
desire that this sum be received from
| large number of donors in order that
the Society and it's purposes may be-
come better known in Minneapolis,
and that the burden of financing it
may not be left to the few. We not
only ask you to make such a donation
as your means permit, but we are par
ticularly anxious If there is a local
Conference in your parish that you
learn from your pastor and it's officers
something about it, and take a per-
sonal interest in it's welfare.
The Society of st. Vincent de Paul
seeks to promote the spiritual good of
its members and benefactors by aid
ing the poor.
1t seems particularly appropriate at
Christmas time that all who can at
ford should make a donation to help
in carrying on the work for the COM
ing year, and to bring some of the
seasons joys into the homes of the
| friendless and destitute who NAV 9th.
erwise be forgotten.
| Please send your donation to the
Treasurer, Mr.. John M. Gleason, Ill
South 9th Street, or If more conven.
lent give it to any of the officers OF
this Council. Sincerely yours,
PETER CARTER,
Secretary.

peaceable recommendation Of the

peaceable recommendation of the
Convention in the interest Of remote
and illusory anticipation. He was
convinced that CONSUMPTION would ma
terially unbalance affairs. What an
Irish Parliament might do in that re-
gard was different matter. A settle
ment Of the Irish question would, he
thought, lead to renewal on the part
Of the Irish Nationalist of that re-
cruiting campaign started two years
ago.
The Earl Of Meath.
The Earl of Meath hoped the Gov
eminent would take every precaution
to prevent the peace being broken.
They were placed in a seriously diff
cult position in regard to the Conven-
ton. Unless the Government made up
their minds to recognize that whatever
was settled by the Convention should
become the law of Ireland trouble
would inevitably ensue.
Lord Lansdowne.
The Marquist of Lansdowne could
not see how the chances of the Con-
vention could be improved by allow
ing free hand to deal with disorder.
Unionist suspicious in regard to the
Government policy in Ireland were
we'll founded. Lord Wimborne had
said that the country was not out
of hand-and it was orderly. What
sort of order? Sim Feiners were al
lowed to march and counter.march and
parade to their hearts, content. Moth
ing was more unfair to the Irish
people than that there should be in
consistency in the Government policy.
Surely it was the duty of the Irish
administration to do what the Prime
Minister said the other day-to save
the poor peasantry from being per-
suaded to take part in a movement
which could only lead them and their
country to disaster. National school
teachers in some districts had been
guilty Of disloyalty by spreading the
Sim Fein propaganda and other sedi-
tious doctrines.
He had always been in favor of the
Convention, and he wished it success,
should be preached on hillside than
that plots against the State should
be made in secret meeting.
There was no general prevalence of
crime, no active policy of violence in
the proceedings of the Sim Fein
party, and isolated cases, which were
deplorable and reprehensible, could
be, and were being, dealt with by the
police and military. The Government
might go in for wholesale repression,
they might produce superficial quiet,
making people believe that peace was
reigning; but they would drive feel
ings, very dangerous at times, under
ground; they would make cheap mar
tyrs Of the men they arrested, and
would go a long way to check the
wholesome influence of which he had
been speaking, and of which he could
not exaggerate the Importance. The
Chief Secretary was carrying on q
difficult task with infinite patience,
forbearance, and self-control worthy
Of their sympathy.
Lord Shelborne said the situation
was due to the neglect Of the element.

that could not be enforced or the Gov.
eminent never intended to enforce.

Differences Of Delegates Less Formtd
able Than Any optimist Would
Have Predicted.

A debate on the situation in Ireland
took place in the House of Lords on
Thursday, on a motion by Viscount
Shaplin for papers, which was ulti-
mately withdrawn, after reassuring
speeches by Lord Wimborne and Lord
Curzon. The former, speaking hope
fully Of the Convention, mentioned
that
The Government had been warned
Of rising on the Sunday of last
week, but mot a dog barked," and
If the advice rendered had been
accepted the Convention would
have been killed.
Lord Chaplin asked what steps the
Government was taking in pursuance
of the Premier:s statement on Oct.
%, and said he and his friends felt
they would be failing in their duty
above all to the Convention, If they
remained silent. It was extraordi-
nary that the Government should first
appoint the Convention and then allow
the Sim Fein campaign of sedition,
which was becoming worse every day.
He did not understand the attitude
Of the Chief Secretary, who seemed
to think his only duty was to hope
for the success Of the Convention. The
main duty of any Government was to
maintain law and order, and having
regard to the propaganda of rebel
lion there was not a dogs chance
Of the Convention providing scheme,
or Of the people accepting it. If they
did succeed in framing one nothing
could be more fatal to good govern
ment than a sign Of weakness by the
Irish Executive. He charged Mr.. Duke
with having out Birrelled Mr.. Birrell
himself.
The viceroy's Speech.
Lord Wimborne, as one living in
Ireland, did not share Lord Chaplin's
apprehension. Ireland, he said, was
not out Of hand. The country was
prosperous and generally orderly.
There was no menace to life or prop
erty, and nobody went about in fear
Of his life. While there was unrest
and uneasiness there was also the pas
sionate hope common to all parties
that the labors of the, Convention had
already been rewarded by substantial
progress. If agreement was not with
In reach, at least they must hope for
q detailed statement of the differences
between parties, and he was sanguine
enough to believe
they were far less formidable than
any optimist would have predicted
before the Convention came to-
gether.
The Government had been inn
formed from a source it was impos-
sible to ignore that there would be a
rising in Ireland on Sunday of last
week. The Chief Secretary, with his
full support and concurrence, steadily
refused to take certain advice as to
what his duty was.
There was no rising; not dog
barIked. Had the advice been fol-
lowed the Convention would have
been killed.
The policy of the Irish Executive
must be not to seek trouble, but If
trouble came to be ready to meet it..
Slim Feiners Not Pro.Germans.
The Government could not, and
would not, tolerate drilling. There
certainly was drilling, but it was spo-
radio and had no military significance.
He did not believe the Sim Feiner
was pro-German.
Lord Chaplin interrupted to say
that the Premier quoted speech in
which a Sim Feiner said that they
were ready to combine with the Ger
mans or any other foe.

MODESTY CAUSES
DEATH OF A GIRL
A REAL LIFE TRAGEDY THAT
SURPRISES IMAGINATION OF
FICTION WRITERS.

Every once in a while tragedies
take place that dwarf the imagination
of fiction writers. One of such ma
ture has been reported in the last
four days.
A girl persisted on a North Dakota
prairie because she was too modest
to wrap up in a blanket with her
sweetheart and lie back of the
wagon in which they were riding to
escape the fury of a blizzard.
A Mandan, N. D., dispatch says
rather than bundle up in some bed
clothing with her sweetheart, when
they were exposed on the open
prairie during late spring blizzard,
for fear of camping over night on
tn open range would reflect on her
reputation Miss Florence Hainbaugh
went to her death.
She and Walter Wilson started in
a light wagon to attend dance
about twenty miles north of Mandan.
The worst blizzard experienced in
years in North Dakota swept down
upon them.
The horses fought their way for
some distance, but the storm finally
became so fierce and binding that
no Roadway could be made. On the
wagon Wilson had a camp bed and
he proposed to the young woman
that they make up the bed on the
ground in the shelter of the wagon
and protect themselves under the
bed clothing.
The young woman protested, de-
claring that such a course might re-
fleet on her reputation, and insisted
that they continue their efforts to
reach a place of shelter
Abandon the Wagon.
AS it was impossible for the horses
to travel in the teeth of the blizzard
with the fine, powdery snow com
pletely filling the air, it was neces-
sary to abandon the wagon, and the
couple set out on foot in the hope
that they could find the home of a
ranchman or homesteader. The tenn
perature was 80 degrees below zero
The horses, hitched to the wagon,
were led by Wilson, who used them
as a windbreak as they plodded
through the storm. Miss Heinbaugh
finally dropped, exhausted, to the
ground and pleaded so strongly for
Wilson to proceed and seek help
that he finally consented. When day
light came he reached a sheer wagon,
and the men there went with him in
search of Miss Heinbaugh. They
found her dead.

THIRTY SECOND STORY?
NOT FOR HIM, HE SAYS
Man Has Offices Moved Back to
Fourth Floor Because of Obses-
sion to Jump Down.

NEW YORK, N. because the
president of large company, whose
headquarters are maintained in a
skyscraper downtown, is subject to
dizziness the company has just paid
a bill of approximately $1,000, rep
resenting the expense of moving
from the fourth to the thirty-second
floor of the building and back again.
The company has grown like 4
healthy young weed in the last year
and late last month it was decided
to move into new, larger and more
commodious quarters. These were
found by the vice president and the
moving was accomplished while the
president was out of the city.
He returned the other afternoon,
stroled into the handsomely furnish
ed Office which had been prepared
for him and walked quickly out.
mot for me-" he told everybody
within earshot, suddenly and loudly.
THE first thing / know the police
department would be picking me up
on shovel underneath the window.
I've been light headed since the
year one, and while it may be "A
form of insanity or a constitutional
weakness, the fact remains that the
horrible distance from that window
to the street fascinates me, and soon
er or later / would step right over
the sill and out"
1t was suggested that bars be put
over the windows or that an insi4a
Office be assigned to the president.
None of the suggestions suited, how
ever, and since the old offices re-
NAMED vacant and additional space
could be procured on that floor the
move back was made.
