DUBUQUE COLLEGE, DUBUQUE
IOWA.

The semester examinations at Du-
buque College over, the students
enjoyed free day in honor of the
Rector, Monsignor German, recently
appointed Bishop of Boise, Idaho. A
letter from the Most Rev. John Bon
zano, D. D., Apostolic Delegate to the
United States, officially confirmed
what had been rumored in the press
some days previous, that Monsignor
German had been chosen by the Holy
See to succeed the late Bishop GlOri-
eux. While this new honor will mean
the loss of the well loved Rector,
who guided the affairs of the insti-
tuition so wisely and SO well for the
past thirteen years, his associates on
the faculty and the entire student
body rejoice that merit such as his
has received recognition.
Another triumph for the Dramatic
Club was scored on the evening of

A CATHOLIC GIRLS ADVICE TO
HER SOLDIER BROTHER WHO
is ABOUT TO BE SENT TO THE
FRONT-SHE URGES HIM TO
CLEAN, RELIGIOUS LIVING.

Dear Brother: Well, dear brother
have not written to you for a few
weeks, but have been awful busy
Have been on a very hard case and
when | did get off | was too tired to
write anything that would be inter.
esting.
Dear brother, have been thinking
of you so much lately. OF course,
your being drafted has been awfully
hard on Mother, but she has been fine
so far; don't you think so? Well, she
has. She has given her youngest son
and, thank God, she has given you
bravely and nobly, and it has not been
easy for her to do so; it's no use say.
ing so.
But you have a wonderful chance
to repay her. You are in big thing
"a big war standing for a big idea,
but don't ever forget that the biggest
thing about it is the man with prin-
ciple-and the biggest thing this war
will bring out is the man that is in
our boys. That is what you and all
the others went in ii for-to demon
strate the right kind of principle and
manhood to those poor unfortunate in
Europe-and this is really what will
win this war and settle all wars for
time to come.
You need not be praised for what
you have done for | believe you have
inherited the sense of duty and JUS
tice from your father-a soldier be-
fore you-and courage from your
mother, the bravest little woman on
earth. For courage to do thing
and do it right is the only thing that
counts anywhere and there are so
many things that are up to a Catholic
boy to do that take more than the
ordinary courage to do-for instance,
temptation.
And as you have inherited this
courage from a woman show other
women that you have it and respect
them as you do her. That is why she
gave it TO you; that you can look all
men square in the face, and men in
this case will mean women when you
are in France. You will meet many
of them-good, bad and Indifferent.
Many of them will have their men
folks at the front; they will be alone
for our boys to respect and show con-
sideration for
These women will make much of
you American boys, for it is said that

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
MISSION AT CAMP DODGE.
Camp Dodge, Ia, Feb II, 1918.
To the Editor:

Camp Dodge, Ia, Feb II, 1918.
To the Editor:
1t was an edifying and ever mem
Orable experience, the manifestation
of Catholicity, shown by our boys a.
the Camp during the five days of the
| Mission held last week at Building
No. 2. beginning Sunday morning al
the $50 Mass, ending Thursday morn
ing, the entire attendance went over
the six thousand mark. The number
| of COmmunionS was one thousand anG
| twenty-five. Three Masses were cele
brated each morning, and after the
regular Mission Mass brief instruc
ton was given.
Each evening Services comprising
| Rosary, Sermon and Benediction were
held at Z o'clock. Confessions began
Sunday evening that the boys might
have an opportunity to receive Holy
| Communion as early as possible. Jew
and Gentle, Protestant and Atheist
were drawn together by the spiritual
| magnetism. Despite the fact that the
arduous work of the day previous
made sleep precious in the morning
| the boys sacrificed an hours sleep or
more that they might attend Mass
and hear the instructions.
1t was an inspiring sight to sec the
building filled each morning. Many
interesting stories are told how the
boys enlisted the services of the five
guards and others, Protestant and
Jew, to call them in time to attend
the early Mission Mass. An incident
worth recording in detail was the in,
terest shown by Lieutenant Cakes in
the work of the Mission. He attend.
ed the Monday night services and was
very favorably impressed. Next day
at the noon Mess he called on all the
Catholics in his Company to stand up.
He eXhorted them to attend each and
every session of the Mission. He
stated that according to what he
heard the night previous two very
important things had to be attended
TO, namely, Confession and Commun.
ion. He eXhorted them to go to Con
fession that afternoon or at least that
evening. Then beginning at one end
he began to ask each individual how
long since he had been to Confession.
You can imagine the impression
made. Lieutenant Cakes is a thirty
second degree Mason.
Father Angelo of the Passiorfst
Order Chicago, conducted the Mis-.
sion. Energetic and amiable, he had
no difficulty in winning the hearts of
the boys Previous experience at
West Point and other military insti-
tutions enabled him to enter into the
work without a single handicap. In
his sermons he dwelt upon the eter-
nal Truths, emphasizing Death and
Judgment His closing sermon on
Perseverance was the subject of very
favorable comment In it he ex-
pounded the duty Of patriotism, and
when he unfurled the Stars and Stripes
in his tribute to the flag, the entire
audience stood at attention, the right
hand in place rendering the salute.
1t was highly impressive and truly
Catholic manifestation of loyalty.
Father Angelo was assisted in the
work by Lieut.. Father Higgins, Lieut..
Father Noll, and the Post Chaplain.
Fraternally yours in Christ.

pie heard a thrilling war talk by
Lieut.. Perigord the soldier-priest, who
is lecturing for the United States gov
eminent. The meeting. was opened
by Edw. Lees, who spoke on Lincoln.
H. NJ. Bierce spoke briefly on the
Thrift Stamps, and Bishop P. r. Hef-
from introduced the speaker. In his
remarks he stated that the speaker
of the evening was student under
him at st. Paul Seminary fifteen years
ago; that he did not teach him to be
a soldier, that he taught him to be
priest, but that he is now also a
soldier.
Aside from the address at the opera
house Father Perigord spoke at St
| Mary's College, the College of ST.
Teresa, the Normal School, and ad
dressed the association of commerce
at it's annual gathering.
| Mankato: Mrs. Daniel Coonan OF
Minneapolis, visited Mankato last
Wednesday to give a talk on Red
| Cross and women's work in the war
| She was asked to go there under the
auspices of the Harmonic Society,"
There was a splendid audience made
up of members of other clubs anC
Red Cross workers. Mrs. Coonan EN-
phasized the fact that more work ant
more workers are needed: that we
must double and treble our work il
order to supply the demand. Relative
to women in war work, she said that
America expects every woman to dc
her duty in this great world crisis
that the earnest devotion of time an(
thought of every woman in every
home in the land is asked to hell
solve the problems which are sc
weighty."

Doctor Wilbur, president of Leland
Stanford university, addressed the
students last Friday afternoon on the
subject of food conservation. His
discourse was a reasoned appeal for
foresight and self-denial in the use
of food products that by our coopera-
ton, the forces of democracy may be
enabled to win the war. 1t would, he
urged, be an eternal disgrace and
humiliation for the United States to
lose this great contest because its
people did not open their eyes to the
dangers of the situation and rise
from their life of ease and luxury to
champion their country's cause.
