The National Catholic War Council,
representing, as it does, the Archbish-
ops, the highest Catholic authority in
America, was in position to organize
all the Catholic agencies of the coun-
try for war purposes. In peace time
the organization which has been built
up during the period of the war will
still be necessary if Catholics are to
play an important part in settling the
great problems of reconstruction.
The church is keenly interested in
having the reconstruction issues set
tied on the basis of justice and sound
public policy. While the church is
anxious for equal justice to all, she is
more Immediately interested in the
weak, in those on whom our institu-
lions press most heavily, and who are
more likely to be the victims of in
justice. AS prominent United States
official recently put it, "the Catholic
church is the poor mans church" and
If she is not in close touch and does
not deal alphabetically with the prob
lens of the wage-earner, she will ex-
pose herself to severe criticism.
Through the medium of the Catholic
press and short simple pamphlets the
Reconstruction Committee of the Ma
tional Catholic War Council expects
to give expression to educated Catholic
public opinion in America on the va
rious problems which concern the
wage-earner. The most important of
these are the living wage, better hous-
ing conditions, and more adequate
protection against such industrial haz-
ards as sickness, industrial accidents,
unemployment, old age, and premature
death. An educational campaign will
also be conducted on such problems
as training for citizenship, government
ownership of railroads, government
control of industry, price fixing and
colonization. Among the writer's who
will contribute to this educational
campaign are Professor James E. Ha-
gerty of Ohio State University, Pro-
fessbr David A. McCabe of Princeton

pressed and the low.
Never before, my friends, did the
flag of our country mean so much to
you and to me and to every human
being beneath the sun, no matter what
may be his station in life, as it does
today, and never before on Thanks
giving day did the people of all ma
tions lift up their hearts to God in
thanks that such a people as the
American people and such a flag as
the American flag existed on this
earth.
1t has just passed through a stormy
period of its history for it has just
been put to trial by fire and it came
forth from the burning furnace of war
unstained, untarnished, more solidified
within itself, capable of doing greater
things than ever before and in tri-
umph and in glory.
Carried upon the stalwart shoulders
of its bravest and best it crossed the

uncivilized submarine warfare, steady
but constant in defense of it's rights

J reached Europe at moment when all
seemed to be lost and crushed beneath
the feet of the imperial German en-
pire. 1t loses no time, but clashes
arms with the most formidable mill

the enemy hurls the Imperial Guard,
the Kaiser's crack shock troops. The

RACES. The Kaiser's hordes are sea-
soned warriors and they are in COM
bat with the young American fighters
in overwhelming numbers. The COM
mand goes forward from headquarters
to the American forces to fall back,
and quick from the fire of that raging
battle comes the reply: "The Ameri-
can flag never retires." The day is
won for the allies. The German le-
gions began to roll back to the banks
of the Rhine followed by powerful
young America striking now at Sois-
sons, now at st. Mihiel and now in the
Argonne forest, then at Sedan, until
the invader of France, the enemy of
the weak, raises the white flag of sur
render, falls upon his knees and begs
for mercy. n
The smoke of war lifts, the bells in
a million, church towers ring out the
glorious news to an anxious world
that the destroyer of Rheims grand
cathedral has fallen; the hearts in the
noble breasts of millions of mothers
swell up with joy and forget for a
while the sorrow of noble sons slain
in battle.

King Albert of Belgium at Brussels:
"At the moment that you are re-en-
ter Brussels at the head of your VIC

great Joy it gives to me and to the

Company F of Shakopee, Minnesota
Home Guards, is now the proud pos
SCISSOR of large, beautiful United
States flag, presented to it by the gen.
erous and patriotic mothers, wives,
daughters and sisters of the members
of the company.
The occasion of the presentation
took place yesterday afternoon,
Thanksgiving Day, at the courthouse
in the presence of the company men,
bers and a large number of people
who had assembled to witness the
ceremony and participate in the pro-
gram which was both impressive and
inspiring.
The program opened with the sing
ing of America" Then Atty. Jos. ].
Moriarty, in an address ringing with
patriotism and overfowing&with lofty
sentiment, presented the flag to the
company. The company buglers, R.
c. Byrde and Boyde Bowdish, then
played ITO the Colors." Lieut.. Childs.
on behalf of the company, in a few
well-chosen words, accepted the gift,
the emblem of this great nation.
Mr.. Moriarity spoke as follows:
We offer our sincere thanks to those
good women who, prompted by mo.
tives of patriotism, generosity and
gratitude for distinguished services
performed, have invited you, Mime
sofas Minute Men, here today to pre-.
sent you with this beautiful flag of
our country.
The meaning of distinguished ser
vice as applied to you is no empty
phrase. You left your comfortable
homes, industry and employment and
went up to the north of this state,
laid waste by the forest fires that
devastated that region during the fall
OF this year to rescue hundreds of
men. women and children made home
less b the loss of their humble homes
and suffering from the most deadly
malady which ever visited this land.
You remained there attending to
their many needs and wants, giving
them aid and comfort in their suf-
fering, and enduring the hardships
necessarily surrounding conditions of
that kind, exposing yourselves to all
the dangers of that awful disease, and
remained there until you had done
your full duty and then returned
home without pay or compensation
of any kind.
But not all of you returned, for
your comrade, Leonard Doyle, caring
for the sick and the dying as you
were, contracted that deadly disease
and died to save the lives of others,
thereby sacrificing his life upon the
altar of Christian charity, enrolling
his name among the worlds heroes
and becoming a martyr to his Chris
tian faith.
No greater love hath man than
this, to give his life for his friend,
and second to that no greater love
hath man than this, to risk his life
to save his friends.
In performing those duties you rem
dered service to your fellowman and
faithfully discharged a. supreme duty
to your God and country.
Fitting, indeed, is it then, that on
this blessed day of Thanksgiving you
be presented with the flag whose vir-
tues you strove to emulate, whose

interest of the Red Cross this after
noon at the court house. County
Attorney B. F. Bell introduced the
speaker. Judge Houston spoke
most feelingly and appealingly on
the Red Cross work and its needs
and did not fail to impress the au-
dience with the Importance and
necessity of raising funds in the
great drive to meet war conditions.
He described scenes on the battle
field where the wounded soldiers
were succored by the Red Cross
nurses and how they braved their
lives for the sake of humanity.
He said it was the duty of every
one to be LOYAL and interest them
selves in such a worthy cause and
lend every assistance in their power
for its furtherance. During his re-
marks he touched on prOfiteering,
and said that any man who was
trying to make political capital in
his critical period deserves to be
lined up against a stone wall and
shot. He did not mince words but
told it in a clear cut tone. He is
forcible speaker and throughout his

one of the most valued assets of this
county today; now is the time fol-
US to wake up to the fact that we
are as young as we choose to make
ourselves. Those today who get
behind the imagination of their be-
ing old and past work, are slackers.
BY the sweat Of your brow, my
brother. your country is calling you
today to again help her to bring
about a condition of peace on earth
and good will toward mankind, in.
stead of a despisable slavery to the
Berlin Butcher.
The young manhood of our coun-
try are today shedding their blood
to accomplish this end. You may
be proud Of the fact one or more of
yours is somewhere in France doing
his bit, and your country needs you
to do your bit. You are today liv-
ing in town and county you have
every reason to be proud of-virtu-
ally garden of Eden that will grow

to work, do little bit, first grad
ually increasing the dose and by
next autumn you will feel FIVE years
younger. and by the termination of
this war you will absolutely be 20 |
years younger. than you are today
and proud of the fact you have done |
your bit for your country. and in so
1oing, you have put Aberdeen per-
on the map of the United
States as the garden of Eden for
