The Life Of the Very Rev. chas. H..

Rev. We. 0'DanieI, or, Sim.

lngton Ave. New York City. Pages

This beautiful volume from the tai.
ented pen of the we'll known histor.
ian, Rev. V. F. O'Daniel, is indeed a
worthy monument to one of the most
distinguished Dominicans of our own
times-the Very Rev. G. H. McKenna,
the sanity and venerable Apostle of
the Holy Name.
Cardinal Gibbons said that Father
McKenna was the greatest missionary
the Church in America has produced.
A noted Catholic editor wrote, at the
time of the missionary's death, that
he was already canonized in the hearts
of the American people. His confreres
in religion and his fellow priests rec
ognized in him scholar of no mean
attainments and one of Gods noble
men, whose heart was large enough
to include all men in the embrace of
It's love. With so inspiring subject,
one could have expected a very in
teresting book. But Father O'Daniel
has given us more than this; he makes
the holy friar-a veritable modern
apostle-live again before the readers
eyes. Thus has the author produced
genuine masterpiece of biographical
composition. Owing to the fortunate
circumstances under which the work
was written, much of this life has the
value of an autobiography
This life of Father McKenna will
be especially welcomed by his broad
circle of friends and the thousands
who have been benefited by his spir-
itual ministrations, have hung breath
less upon his eloquent words, or wit
messed the effects of his magnetic zeal.
But it should make still wider ap.
peal to the Catholics of the country,
and be an inspiration to all who love
the Church and her true shepherds;
for it is a fitting memorial to one of
Americas greatest and best known
priests. The American reader will
thank God for giving the United States
such Jealous, model clergyman, and
be grateful to Father O'Daniel for
writing such a life of him. To many
some of the most interesting pages
in the volume will be those which
tell of the spirit and genius of the
Order of st. Dominic, which were
forces that contributed generously to
the making of the celebrated mission
airy. Moreover, the form of the book

Portable Schools.

So greatly have the public schools
outgrown the present equipment, in
consequence of inadequate appropria-
tons and slow construction, that tenn
porary portable schools are now consid-
cred necessary to relieve conditions that
are seriously initiating against the sue
cess of the local educational system. The
mere fact that these nfakeshift school
houses are necessary reveals the de-
plorable inadequacy of past provision
for the growth of the District. Only
through very liberal policy Of appro-
priation can the arrears Of the present
be made good, with constructions au-
thorized and undertaken in addition to
current needs for future development.
The portable schoolhouse should only
be regarded as an extreme measure Of
emergency and should not be permitted
to remain as part Of the school equip
ment longer than is absolutely neces-
sary to bring the permanent plant up
70 mark.

that Il could mot msks itself felt in The
campaign on land because Of the great
distance from the front. Dire predic-
tons were made Of torpedoed trans
ports. Thus far 4 remarkable record
has been established. Not one loaded
transport has been even disabled. Two
returning transports have been tor
pedoed, one Of them sent to the bot
tom, the other making shore in fairly
good shape. Inasmuch as it is not known
how many vessels have been required
to carry the American forces overseas
it is impossible to note the percentage,
but it is very low indeed.
It may be that this immunity from
loss will not continue. There is always
the possibility. that a submarine may
break through the conveying Gordon Of
feet warships and strike a troopship. Yet
the general tendency Of the submarine
efficiency, despite the increases of the
last two weeks, is definitely downward.
Meanwhile, the means of protection from
them and of offensive work against them
are improving. The chances Of i'm
munity from the U-boats are not lessen
ed by the fact that thus far the American
Army in its movement to France has
not suffered single casualty from the
enemy. If German spies are watching
the flow of our troops on these shores
and their landing on the other side
their reports must be giving Berlin keen
pangs of disappointment.

Teachers Pay.

Whatever the law regarding the ELI
gibility of public school teachers to
leave that service to work for the gov
eminent, the fact stands out conspicu-
ously that the school teachers are paid
too little. It is not q matter Of wonder
that some of those of the lower grades
should be leaving the schools to enter
the departmental service. The present
demand of the government for workers
is such that these teachers are greatly
tempted and so many of them have al
ready left the schools that the system
is already seriously affected. Now it is
indicated that they may lose their gov
eminent pay in consequence of the
statute.
When the responsibilities of a public
school teacher are considered. whatever
the grade the pay granted is very small.
These men and women are charged with
the care of the growing children for
large part of the time. They are in
trusted with the development of their
minds and to a large extent with the
care of their morals. They bear heavy
burden, and they are paid on an aver
age less than unskiHed laborers. The
woman who is called upon to form the
characters of the youngsters is paid
less than the man who digs the bitches
in the streets.
This inadequacy should be corrected
by the adoption of larger salary scale
for the public schools. This becomes
the more imperative in view Of the posi-
tive limitation which the law puts upon
their opportunities for betterment. So
long as by statute they are forbidden
to accept employment in the govern
ment, whatever the emergency or the
emolument, they should be granted COM
pensation adequate for their needs. In
these days of high living costs the ma
jority Of the teachers get little better
than starvation wages-literally wages,
not salaries.

Fire, But No Water,

The other night one dwelling was de-
stroyed and two others badly damaged
by fire in Anacostia. The fire gained
Roadway and menaced an adjoining
group Of houses because of the lack
of city water supply. There were no
mains within reach of the engines, and
the utmost that could be done was to
use chemicals to prevent the further
spread of the blaze, while by damming
a small brook flowing into the river
little water was obtained.
This is a striking spectacle of unpre-
paredness in the capital. Are any other
settled portions of the District thus ex-
posed to confagrationf There should,
in truth, be no section Of the capital
that cannot be reached by fre-fghting
service. If the water mains have not
been extended into every subdivision
they should be carried there without de-
lay. The whole District should be re-
garded as sufficiently urban to be given
the fullest equipment for protection.
Hillsdale, where the fire occurred, is
not a newly occupied part Of the Dis
trict 1t is one of the oldest of the
suburbs. 1t should have had a full
water service many years ago. Enough
millions of dollars have been taken from
the District people in water rents to
carry the main there and elsewhere
throughout the capital area. This fire
should be viewed as a sufficient warn.
ing, tardy though the action may be that
follows. Let there be no more fighting
of blazes in this District by damming
up rivulets.

Lansdowne Repudiated.

Instant reputation of the Lansdowne
letter by representative assembly Of
unionists in London indicates that if
the former foreign secretary's object
was . political alignment against Pre-
mier Lloyd George it has failed of its
object. His proposal for a peace based
upon consideration of German unity,
entity and opportunity has aroused a
storm Of protest from Englishmen of all
parties. It is now to be seen whether it
represents any considerable portion of
the British public, whether it is the
voice Of q pacifst movement of any mo-
meHt.
There has been distinct peace party
IN England since the first day of the
war. Some Of the British statesmen in
Office were SO pronouncedly pacifst at
the outbreak of hostilities that they re-
tired from public life. So it is not sur
prising that there should be a movement
for peace on compromise terms now.
Tho point Of chief interest is whether
Lansdowne is speaking individually or
represents an appreciate fraction of
the British public. The Germans will,
Of course, make the most of this state
ment by one who was formerly at the
head Of the British foreign Office. 1t is
inconceivable, however, that it should
change the policy Of England or lead
TO any lessening of the war energies of
the entente.

the Pacific Is in the Atlantic.
But steady progress has not been
made. Naval needs have had their good
years and their bad years. Some Con-
crosses have been alert and sympathetic
and generous. Others have been the
opposite. It has required at times the
hardest work to secure even the small.
est addition to the Navy. A herculean
struggle has more than once been re-
quired to secure two new battleships.
There was strong support for only one,
and some men objected to any at all.
The little navyites have often had the
best of the encounter.
The period Of seesaw is ended. The
Navy is up now, and will stay up. The
war has disclosed our full duty in that
particular; and it is uncomfortable that
a stop will be made short Of sea power
not only with our coast
lines and the requirements of our dis.
tant possessions, but with what the war
is suggesting as to the future. Sea
power is going to figure henceforth
more in the calculations Of the great
nations than ever, and especially such
as will be cultivating foreign trade
and supporting merchant marine to
carry it.
Mr. Chandler lived long enough to
see what must have given him much
pleasure-both parties alive to the
Nays full claims, and both voting
in a liberal spirit toward meet
ing them. His pride of parentage must
have been increased by the Nays re-
cent growth, and the full assurance of
its adequate future size.

Sending Our Army to France.

Although it is not permitted to state
how many American troops have reached
France, the fact is patent that a very
large force has already been transported
overseas. More are going constantly
and more will continue to 60, and it il.
evident that the United States, though
separated by over 5000 miles of sub
marine-invested ocean from the scene
of operations, is becoming a material
factor in the fight. Yesterdays an.
nouncement that division Of troops
comprising National Guard units from
every state in the Union had landed in
France is particularly gratifying. as
now every part Of the United States il
directly represented In the asld.

A Capital Address.

The address of the French premier
IN opening the interallied conference de-
serves to be studied for its taste and
tang and brevity. 1t is remarkable for
all three qualities. This is it:
'Gentlemen, in the name of the French
republic the honor of welcoming you
fails upon me. In this greatest of wars
1t is the feeling of the supreme solidar-
fly of peoples which mites us in this
moment to win on the field of battle
the right to a peace which shall be
true peace of humanity. 1t is for this
we are here in this admirable reunion
Of hope and duty well prepared to make
every sacrifice demanded by the alliance
which no intrigue and no weakening
can ever impair. Our task is to trans
late into acts those lofty feelings where
by We are animated Our order of the
day is work. Let us work"
NJ. Clemeneeau has not by any one
route reached the ability to do this sort
Of thing. He has studied and praetieed
medicine. He has been a college lee
turer. Newspaper correspondence for
awhile occupied him. He entered poll
tics, and thrived in that field. He has
edited a newspaper, and made it the talk
of Paris-no mean accomplishment.
This is the second time he has filled the
post of premier He has upset more
cabinets than any other member of the
French legislative body
z Here is varied experience; and it
extends over many years. NJ. Clemen-
ceau is now far advanced in his seven
ties As physician he learned the value
of time, and the art of brief preserip-
tion. As a college lecturer he saw the
advisability of not wearying his classes
As newspaper correspondent he felt
the weight of the blue pencil, and,
later, as editor, applied the pencil him
self. And as politician and legislator
he must have observed the disadvan-
tages of long-windedness. In every
place he has seen the value of "strik-
ing home" in a few words, well chosen
So that he turns the trick himself now
with ease and fine effect.
If his example is copied, the confer
eace need not be protracted. There are,
however, some capital takers present,
and there is much to talk about. The
two best takers in England are there
Lloyd George and Mr.. Balfour. The
premier Of Italy is talker of power
Our own Col. House will have no diff
Guilty in following copy. He can be
briefer even than N. Clemeneeau. His
friends say of him that he has studied
silence as a fine art.
The Frenchman emphasizes work. He
is right. There is great deal of work
to be done. In this case the sword is
mightier than either pen or tongue, OF
both put together. Too much talk-too
much ceunseling-has produced confu-
sion, and confusion has led to number
Of disasters.
