AMERICAN CARDINALS ASK CON-
TINUED PRAYERS FOR VICTORY
NATION is ON ITS KNEES
PLEA TO REGITE ANGELUS.

An appeal, signed by the three
American Cardinals, has been sent out
to all Catholics. 1t asks that con-
tinued prayer be offered daily for
victory.
The Appeal.
From the moment when our Country
made it's momentous decision to enter
this tremendous conflict the whole
Catholic population of America has
enthusiastically and whole-heartedly
accepted its full share of work and
sacrifice and has unstintingly put
forth all it's resources to stand with
all other Americans in the defense of
our sacred principles of right and ma
tional duty.
We need scarcely record this OBJ
vious fact. The whole world knows it
and realizes its efficacy and i'm
portance The Catholics of America
are in the vanguard of the nations
service, on land and on sea, in the
| trenches and in the works. And until
| this fierce combat is finished and
the cause for which we fight has
triumphed, their efforts will increase
Our President has clearly stated
the high principles upon which that
sacred cause rests-they are as uni
| versal as they are unselfish. We
battle for the welfare of men of every
nation, asking no special indemnitiei
for our sacrifices other than those
which all free men always seek
Surely this raises our aims and pur
poses up to the noblest standard o
action, and sets the soul of the ma
ton above the meanness and pettinesi
of selfish conquest or unehristial
hate.
/ Just for this reason may We turl
with fullest confidence to the God 0
Justice and mercy. beseeching Him Z
accept our sacrifices. guide our rulers
and give success to our arms.

The Bombarded Church
A5RE GAUTHIER AWARDED WAR
CROSS FOR BRAVERY.

Able Marcel Gauthier, of the Paris
church damaged on Good Friday by a
shell from the German long range
gun, has been awarded the war cross
for his courage at that time. The
citation, which was ordered by
Premier Clemenceau, reads in part:
He gave evidence on March 20
1918, in his bombarded church, of re-
markable courage and coolness
Amidst the ruins and under tum
bling arches he promptly took charge
of the work of rescue. BY his exam
pie as well as by his energy, he die
much to prevent panic and refused
to leave the church until all the vic
tins had been rescued"

AN APPEAL FOR PRAYER

From every corner of America
arises the cry of souls to God. The
nation is on it's knees before the
King of Kings. That is the surest
sign that America will not fail but
will lead the nations of the earth to
victory over mere might, for God is
our surest help as He must be our
strongest hope. And the prayers of a
nation fighting, not for gain but for
good, will certainly be answered.
If we fight like heroes and pray
like saints soon will America over
come mere force by greater force, and
conquer lust of power by the nobler
power of sacrifice and faith.
Animated by this undaunted spirit.
let the whole nation turn to God in
prayer while our Army courageously
confronts the foe in battle. While we
utilize every possible source of ma
terial power let us fortify it all by
the greatest Of all spiritual power
prayer. But recently our Holy Father
set aside the feast of SIS. Peter and
Paul as special day of prayer. Let
us continue our obedience to his re-
quest and fervently offer our petitions
to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ;
that all the nations may see the way
| to mutual concord and understanding.
Let us, moreover, each day, until the
peace for which we fight crowns our
efforts, say daily three times, morning
at rising, at noon and in the evening
the Angelus, for the guidance Of our
rulers, the success of our Arms, the
unity of the nations and the welfare
of heroes.
And may Almighty and Eternal God
hearken to the prayers of united
nation and grant speedily that peace
] which surpasseth understanding

PRINCE AND PONTIFF
CARDINAL BOURNE PROTESTS
AGAINST ACTION OF ITALIAN
CENSOR - CAMPAIGN AGAINST
POPE.

The English press is very wroth
with Cardinal Bourne on account of
his address to a local branch of the
Catholic Federation at Haverstock
Hill on Thursday last, when he took
the newspapers of that country to
task for their attitude towards things
Catholic and particularly their cam
paign of calumny against the Pope.
The Cardinal spoke of the gross
ignorance in matters Catholic dis
played by the newspapers, of their
suppression of essential facts regard
ing the Pope's efforts to assuage the
sufferings of the war, and of the mo
Popery' campaign which lasted two
days and was mainly defeated by Sir
Mark Sykes.
Going on to speak of the recent
visit of the Prince of Wales to the
Vatican, he pointed out that the Pope
was sovereign whose position was
eXtra-territorial and extra-national.
and that the Prince would have failed
in courtesy if the visit, which had
given such satisfaction to the Catho-
lie world, had not been paid. He pro-
tested against the action of tne Italian
censor in this matter, declaring that
the correspondents were not allowed
to mention the visit before it took
place and the newspapers were only
allowed to allude to it cursorily after
the event, while foreign correspond
ents were forced to go to Switzerland
to send an account of it to their news
papers-an action on the part of the
censor which the Cardinal considered
an insult to the Pope, the Prince of
Wales and the whole Catholic world.

The Great Duty.

AS we 90 about our daily tasks
in peace and safety men are dy-
ing every minute on the battle
fields Of Europe to save civiliza-
ton. Our own gallant soldiers
are shedding their blood in
France and our sailors engulfed
in the waters Of the Atlantic as
they go in defense of Americas
rights and honor.
Upon our performance OF the
work committed to us depend
the lives Of thousands of men
and women, the fate Of many
nations, the preservation of civ
ilization and humanity itself /:
and the more efficient and
prompt we people of America
are doing our part, the more
quickly will this war come to an
end and the greater the numb
er of our soldiers and sailors
who will be saved from death
and suffering and the greater
number of the people of other
nations released from bondage
and saved from death.
To work, to save, to economic.
to give financial support to the
Government is a duty of the Ma
ton and to the world and it is
especially a duty to cur fighting
men who on land and sea are Of
their lives for their
country and their countrymen.

The Lexington Oil Corporation.
Representatives Of The Lex
ington Oil Corporation plan 70 so
to Eureka, Kansas, IL a few days
in the interest Of the company.
This is a local Oil Company
whose holdings are very valua-
BILE.
A few weeks ago the Stand
ard Oil CompaEy's subsidiary
bought the property of the
property of the Great Southern
which lays just north of the
Lexington property at a report
ed consideration of 50, 100000
for one-half interest. This means.
the Lexington holdings look very
good.
The drilling will be started up
soon and it looks like a sure
thing now that this company
will prove very profitable to its
stockholders.
A local Lafayette County Com
pany managed by Lafayette
County men and, practically all
stock being held in Lafayette
county, makes this proposition
one that should appeal to all To-
cal people, especially when you
consider that at least 500 of
the company's that fail are fail
ures because Of pernicious man
agement. Hundreds of shallow
companies fail to pay, be-
cause Of the fact that only a GER
tam number OF wells can be drill
on a given acreage.
It is a well known fact that
such big companies as the Stand
ard do not fcol with shallow
acreage, and the foresight of the
Lexington Company's officers in
securing this acreage is further
strengthened by their wisdom in
following the lead Of the sue
cessful companies, who really
paid big cost returns to
their investors.
