BALTIMORE. Feb. 5.-Germany's
war aims VIII fail and her dream OF
empire vanish as completely as the
aspirations OF the Roman Empire. said
Cardinal Gibbons i'm his sermon az The
Cathedral here Yesterday. The present
war nc told the vast congregation
which filled The edi0ce. Is O. striking o.
lusiraiiOn Of the fact that schemes
conceived In passion and fOmcnicd hy

Reviewing the growth of Christian
ity, which. he declared. viii "oNer-
come the forces OF evil today as % had
In the past" Cardinal Gibbons said.
LET us transport ourselves In spirit
10 the dawn Of the Christian era and
stand on one OF pagan Rome's seven
hills. We see that immense city teem-
ing with a population. according 90 the
estimate OF Gibbons. OF about 3,OOOOW
inhabitants. Md as an evidence that
the highest intellectual atiainments do
not protect "a man from the most de
grading superstition and gr0ssest

every species OF idolatry They wor-
ship The sun. The moon and the stars
Tho seas and rivers, the mountains and

Rome was The focus OF the idOlairy
practiced throughout The empire. What
might say OF Rome ! might affirm OF
the Roman empire and what ! affirm Of

civilized world; for Rome was mistress
Of the world.
The quick growth of Christianity fol-
lowing the advent OF Christ and The
teaching Of The Apostles was cited by
Cardinal Gibbons 90 show that great

"The spiritual republic which thc
Apostles founded exists unto this dog,
is constantly extending IFS lines and Is
consolidated. not by frowning fortified
tions and standing armies but Boy the

sanctions continued The cardinal.
What does this prove? 70 proves
that the pen and the voice are mightier

The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga.
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
In France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but ii seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.
The Red Cross nurse is always glad to
have cigarette for the wounded soldier

OF days later, In a torment of itching,
he also has to resort TO a shirt hunt.
or spend many sleepless night of
misery. During these hunts there are
lots Of pertinent remarks banded back
and forth among the explorers, such
as, "Say. Bill, I'll swap you two little
ones for big one" or, "Ive got a
black one here that looks like Kaiser
Bill"
One sunny day in the front-line
trench, saw three officers sitting out
side of their dugout ("cooties" are no

n suspicious unensiness about a certain
wel-known gencraD. one of them was

their shirts, paying no attention to the

every now and then he would lay aside
his wriiing-pad, search his shirt for a
few minutes, get IN inspiration. and
then resume writing. At last he fin

that Miss Somebody was the majors

assigned TO different companies. The
boys in the brigade had nicknamed
this general Old Pepper and he GER
tainly earned the sobriquet. was as
signed to company with anOthS-
American named Stewart. -
For the next ten days we crested, ~
repairing roads for the Trenches. drill

One morning we were informed that
we were going up the line, and our
march began.
! 1t took us three days to reach re-

ing the sound of the guns nearer and
nearer. At night, way Off in the dis
lance we could see their flashes, which
lighted up the sky with red glare.
Against the horizon we could see
numerous observation balloons or "sau-
sages" as they are called.
On the afternoon of the third days
march l witnessed my first airplane
being shelled. A thrill ran through me
and l gazed in awe. The airplane was
making wide circles in the air, while
little puffs Of white smoke were burst
ing all around it. These puffs appeared
like tiny balls of cotton while after
each burst could be heard a dull
''plop." The sergeant of my platoon
Informed us that it was German air
plane and wondered how he could tell
from such distance because the plane
seemed like little black speck in the
sky. l expressed my doubt as to
whether.it was English, French or Ger
man. With a look Of contempt he fur
Their informed us that the allied anti |
aircraft shells when exploding emitted |
white smoke while the German shells |
gave forth black smoke, and, as he ex-
