Columbus Give
10000 Francs
Madame Foch Received Donation on
Behalf Of French Widows and
Orphans Society Of Which
She Is Chairman.

Paris, Nov. 12-Madame Foch, wife
of the Marshal, has just received
10000 francs from the Knights of Col
umbus, toward the fund for Widows
and Orphans OF French Soldiers of
Paris, of which Madame Foch is chair
man. The gift was presented by past
Supreme Knight Edward l.. Hearn, now
in Paris serving as an overseas COM
missioner for the X. of G.
Intention of the knights to make
this contribution became known on
the birthday anniversary Of Joan of
Arc when the Knights Of Columbus in
New York honored the memory of the
Maid of Orleans by placing a floral
cross of lilies of the valley on the
Joan of Arc statue in Riverside Drive
Announcement was made Of the pro-
posed gift by James A. Flaherty, Su-
preme Knight of Columbus, when ad-
dressing Marcel Knecht Of the
bert, French Consul General; George
M. K1,ne, president of the Joan Of Arc
committee, and Able Borde d'Arrere,
the fighting priest of Paris.
I'VE honor the modern women of
France" said Mr.. Flaherty, "and can
think of no more fitting way Of doing
this than by helping Madame Foch,
wife of the great Marshal, in the work
she is doing for the widows and Or
phans OF French soldiers who have
fallen on the field of honor"
When accepting the gift in behalf OF
the French soldiers widows and or
phans, Madame Foch assured the
Knights of Columbus representative
that "the tribute would add to the debt
of gratitude already acknowledged by
French citizens for service rendered
them in the hour Of distress by gener-
GUS Americans"

OUR HEROIC CATHOLIC nuns
AND their DEEDS OF MERCY

as it was, but others, un-
der no such compulsion, and with even
closer opportunities for estimating the
value of the nuns work, have been
equally outspoken. DR.. John NJ.
Fisher, distinguished physician and
consultant at Emergency Hospital No.
3, made the following statement:
In my thirty-three years experience
among the various hospitals in this
city have never witnessed such he
foic devotion to duty as that mani
tested by these Sisters, beautiful souls
that they are. The equal of the Cath
olic Sisterhoods, as they have worked
before my eyes, in this emergency,
cannot be found, feel safe in saying.
They are Incompatible. Their con-
duct is an example to every one. Their
only thought and their only care are
for the patient. The orders of the
physicians could not be carried out
more religiously. l am Methodist,
but must voice my appreciation of
their heroism.
The Soldiers Aid Committee of
City Councils speaks in the same
sense: "No praise is too lavish to be
bestowed upon the Sisters for their
skill, devotion and tenderness towards
the sufferers of the city,
Naturally such fearless devotion to
the sick could not go unscathed.
Death has taken its toll from these
Sisterhoods, and the gold star is theirs
no less deserved than if they had died
in action on the field of battle. In
stances could be multiplied, but one
will suffice to show the spirit of all,
survivors and victims alike. A nun
who had spent long years in the class
room begged to be allowed to do her
share in the crisis She was assigned
to the alshouse and wrote enthusias-
tically to friend that she was to min.
lister to the very poorest of the poor.
For all she knew, she was going to
her death, but she never did anything
more gladly. A few days later she
was stricken. Already she is dead,
but she died that others might live
Long years before she had taken the
name of Aloysius, and from the day
of her profession had endeavored to
walk in his footsteps. Little she knew
that like him in name, and like him
in life, she was to be like him in
death, martyr of charity for the
plague-stricken of her city. Gods
benediction be on her, and her com.
panions in courage! All honor to the
heroic Sisters!

Dread Epidemic Is Daily Claiming
Hundreds Of Victims in All
Parts Of the Country.
Additional Gravediggers Are Put to

(Irish Independent, October 23.)
The epidemic, described as Spanish
Influenza, continues to spread and to
exact toll wherever it makes its ap-
pearance. In Dublin the deaths di-
rectly due to it were: Last week,
Sc; previous week, IA.
This number does not include deaths
from pneumonia, which in most cases
supervenes on attacks of influenza. A
considerable proportion of the 66
cases occurred in hospitals, the ages
of the persons affected ranging from
LIZ to 79 years, but Is of them were
between 20 and 80.
The number of burials in Glasnevin
from October 1 to Monday last was
400, as compared with 243 in the
corresponding period Of last year.
This represents a daily average Cor

few days it has been as high as 40.
Normal interments are IL day. AS
many as 8 have died in one small
Dublin area.
The last visitation was responsible
for 159 recorded deaths, the figures
being: July 6, 33; July 13, 7S; July
20, 4S. It is regarded as an unusual
feature of the present attack that
there are more deaths in the suburbs
than in the city. In Kingstown, Black

Very often young women who are
dependent upon their own efforts for
a living, make far better showing
than the girl who was spared from
anything that savors of work or sac

women and girls who today are hold

themselves, or rather, hard work, grit
and perseverance for the good things
that have come their way. True, in

friend among our acquaintances, it
would seem that the best thing we can
do assuming we must rely solely up
on our own endeavors for living) is
to put our very best efforts into what
ever business line we follow. Yet we
must not stop here. We should be
constantly on the alert for a better
position; and 1t will assuredly come
to us If we gradually fit ourselves for
it; but all the influences in the world
will not help us one iota, or keep us
retained in any situation If we are not
qualified to properly perform the
work that has been assigned to US.

That testimony from a learned Angli-

PLAN SELLING ARMY MULE ES AND HORSES DIRECT
 TO FARMERS.

Washington, Dec. 14-A plan for the disposition of 130,o0O head of surplus horses and mules now held by the army, direct to farmers and planters is being considered by the war department. It is suggested that under this arrangement each individual would be limit ed as to the number of horses or mules he might purchase and would be required to sign an agreement that he would retain them for at least a year.
 In this way it is thought the stock could be kept out of the hands of spectators.
 An obstacle to the plan is the prevailing high price of forage and grain, for it is feared that by n d idual distribution several months would be re- quired to dispose of these ani- mals. In support of the pro posal, however, it is urged that relatively higher prices could be obtained than, if the animals were sold to horse traders.
