one-third of this upon the Teutonic

This equals thrice the total indebted
ness Of the world at the beginning
of the war; four times all the bank
deposits and ten times the agricul-
tural production of the United States
and 1000 times our gold output. The
outlay every month is double the
whole cost of the Russo-Japanese war.
Twelve million four hundred thousand
lives had been lost, 26,000,000 wound
ed, 100000 totally and permanently
disabled, 100000 taken prisoners
and $500 ships destroyed.
Our own country has loaned to other
nations on account of the war about
five billions-England, France, Italy,
Russia, Belgium, Serbia and Cuba.
This ought to bring us in days to

NEWS FROM ROME
BELGIAN OFFICIALS RECEIVED
PONTIFICAL MEDALS PRE-
SENTED.

On recent Tuesday NJ. Carton de
Wharf, the Belgian minister of grace
and justice, was received in private
audience by the Pope. He was in
Rome ten days before with two other
Belgian ministers on an official mis-
sion to the Italian government. At
that time, of course, there was no
question of his going to the Vatican.
Having left Rome, and visited the Ital-
ian front, NJ. De Wharf returned pri-
vately and was received by His Holt
ness in an audience that lasted thirty
five minutes. He then had an OppOr-
tunity to thank the Holy Father for
all that he has done for Belgium and
for himself personally, Pope Benedict
having obtained the release of Nine.
Wharf from a German prison.
On Monday Cardinal Gasparri,
Papal secretary of state, presented to
the Holy Father specimens of the
gold, silver and bronze Pontifical med

Government Warnings
SOME POINTS FOR CITIZENS TO
REMEMBER-TRESE CHAIN LET
TER SCHEMES ARE BANNED.

The Council Of National Defense has
sent out a special warning against
chain letter contributions to the
american Chain Company" as fol
lows:
A series of chain letters is being
circulated for the purpose of founding
special hospital in France for the
treatment of wounds in the face and
jaw The chain letter states that 'for
every $4,000 raised by the American
Committee, the American Red Cross
will give $4,000 cash" Recipients of
the letter are requested to write five
more letters and to send % cents to
the French Consul, Seattle, Washing
ton.
This chain letter was started by
the French Consul through a mtsun-
derstanding on his part The Ameri-
can Red Cross states they have never
agreed to give any money to this
cause and they, as Well as the French
Ambassador to this country, are
anxious that the chain should be
DIOhSu up.
The U. S. Treasury Department also
issues the following warning against
chain letters in general:
Chain letters, which in the past
have been used to get funds for
worthy purposes and for some I'M
worthy ones, have been started by
some enthusiastic workers for the sale
of War Savings Stamps. The Treas
ury Department has officially disap-
proved their use, and the National
War Savings Committee wishes the
public to understand that these let
tiers were not instigated by the ma.
tional committee.
Still another warning is given
against the National Woman's League
Many people have confused it with the
National League for Woman's Service
The latter, says the Council of Ma
tional Defense, lis well established
organization, cooperating with the
Woman's Committee of the Council OF
National Defense. 1t must not be con.
fused with the National Woman S
League, which we recommend you to
discourage"

THE inadvisability of exchanging

should not be exchanged for securities
of any kind. Practically all the sub

At White House Service
DOMINICAN DELIVERS ADDRESS
AT SERVICES ON WHITE
HOUSE LOT.

Rev. Edward Fitzgerald, o. p, was
the speaker at the first vesper service
held on the White House lot Gust
south of the executive mansion), which
was attended by thousands of persons
of all denominations.
Father Fitzgerald, who is prior of
the Dominican House of Studies at the
Catholic University of America, took
for his theme the doctrine of the Cath
olic Church in regard to the war,
saying:
The Catholic Church knows only
too well the meaning of war. In it's
hundreds of years of existence it has
acquired sad knowledge of the DESC
lation that war always creates"
In tribute to President Wilson, the
speaker said: I'VE are thankful that
the destinies OF this nation have been
intrusted to a man whose intellectual
ity, whose training and whose charac-
ter show that every effort was made
to avert war; and no nation has borne
so patiently the wrongs we have suffer
ed. There has never been a better case
before the bar of justice than the case
OF our beloved country, because all the
conditions have been manifestly full
filled"

mann with the desire to consecrate
himself to the American missions. Ac-
cordingly, while yet a seminarian, he
landed in America on June 9, 1886, and
was ordained few weeks later by
Bishop Dubois of New York. He was
sent to Western New York without
delay and here he labored for four
years amid incredible hardships.
In 1910 Father Neumann entered
the Redemptorist congregation and was
the first of its members professed in
America. For three years he was supe-
rior of the Redemptorists at Pitts

among the German-speaking people,
won the praise and admiration of the
Ecclesiastical authorities. In 1852, at
the suggestion of Archbishop Ken

GLORY OF THE FLAG

| prayerful wish of a sweetheart, for
him who goes away to serve his coun-
try where dangers lie thick and near.
Into it goes the spirit of the soldier
as he gives the troth of his fealty at
the shrine of the land he loves. Into
it are entwined the memorials of a
golden past and the invocations for
still more golden future.
You and |, and all of us, are a part
OF the flag, and the flag is a part of
u.s. What we think and feel, what we
are, and what we are resolved to be-
these things are what the flag stands
for today, what it symbolizes, what it
ordains to tell the world. 1t is not
mere fabric or formula of colors, but
to an image invisible that conjures a
host of patriots dead and patriots liv-
ing to the souls of our better selves,
to the glowing something that beckons
us up the slopes of national purpose.
AS American citizens, we pledge
our unity, charity and fidelity to the
old flag, whose red stands for heart
blood patriotism, whose white stands
for bravery purified in the heat of
whence comes undying hope, and
whose stars are the shining footprints
of angels who lead us to victory. The
dear old flag is the symbol and
synonym of the America which it
represents of liberty, fraternity and
Ennr nCf
winds of heaven ever kissed; flag for
which more blood was spilled than
any other; flag over which perches
the eagle of victory; flag under which
the faintest cry for justice from the
lips of the humblest citizen shall be
heard. On its ample folds let there
be inscribed the wish of Webster's
heart, Liberty and Union, once and
forever, one and inseparable."
| believe this creed is good enough
for anyone. We believe in our coun-
try, the United States of America, in
her constitution and in her laws and
the principles of justice for which she
stands. We believe in her vast re-
sources, her great possibilities; yes,
more, her wonderful certainties. We
believe in her future; the past is
secure. We believe in the American
people, their genius and brain and
their Drawn. We believe that nothing
can stand in the way of their CONNER
cial advancement and prosperity. We
believe in American institutions, their
honesty and purpose, their integrity
and stability. We believe in Ameri-
canism, one nation, one people and

DRAFTING ALIENS
IRISH AND AUSTRALIANS ARE
EXEMPTED BY NEW
TREATY..

Irish and Australians in this coun-
try are exempted, and only Americans
between the ages of q and 81 are
subject to draft in Great Britain and
Canada, according to the British
American military convention now
awaiting ratification by the United
States Senate.
Details of the treaty disclose that
it required formal exchange of notes
between the United States and Eng
land to settle questions relating to
application of American draft age
limits to Americans in Great Britain
and Canada.
The British military service acts,
which govern the operation of the
treaty, would make all Americans in
Great Britain or Canada between Is
and 40, liable to draft into the
British army. But in the notes eX-
changed by Lord Reading and Secre-
tary Lansing it is agreed that the
United States may claim exemption
for its citizens under Il and over 81.

Incompatible Guynemer
FRAIL YOUTH GREATEST OF AVI-
AToRS-A MOST DEVOUT AND
PRACTICAL CATHOLIC.

Looking backward over the three
and a half years of war and the num-
Der of heroes that have been pro-
duced, it is difficult to select any one
as being the greatest" In the opin-
ion of Ex-Governor Walsh of Massa-
chusetts, who spoke in Hartford last
Sunday, the individual standing out
from all the rest of the wars great
characters is Guynemer, the boy-avi-
ator, who achieved such success in
the cause of France. He was frail,
tubercular, and had been more than
once pronounced unfit for other
branches of the military service. His
marvellous accomplishment as a war
rior of the air, however, merited for
him resting place beside the ashes
of Frances greatest men, in the Pan
theon. 1t is of special interest to
Catholic young men to know that
Guynemer was as good a Catholic as
he was an aviator. A loyal member
of the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin,
he was frequent communicate, and
was found at confession, or quietly
visiting the Blessed Sacrament, when
ever he was able to steal away from
his machine. France may be proud
of this son. Neither the irreligious
spirit of so many of his countrymen
nor the generous plaudits of all of
them was able to swerve him from
serving his God as faithfully as he
did his country. He was a hero in
more ways than one

HISTORIC SYMBOL OF COUNTRY
STANDS FOR GREAT IDEALS
NEED OF LOYALTY.

A service flag was dedicated in the
Church of St. John at Jordan, Mime
sofa, on Memorial Day. An eloquent
and stirring address was delivered by
Attorney F. J. Leonard. The speaker
said in part:
The American flag today, is not just
what it was year ago. A year hence
it will be different from what it is
now. Happily, we may take heart of
the past that our flag of the future will
be more compelling in it's appeal than
that which tokens today the evolving
soul of the nation.
Woven into it is the moral fiber of
the Pilgrims, who dared the wilds for
the sake of conscience. Who lived
their lives and died before the first
fair symbol of their dreams was
broken to the breeze. Into it's warp
is wrought the high passion for lib
erty and right which stirred the
breasts of the men who fought with
Washington and kept the tryst of their
faith in a just God on the Wintry
fields of Valley Forge. Flung along in
its wool are it's strands of the sacri-
fetal seal of those who strove and
suffered a half century ago that
human freedom might be the glowing
fact which the nations charter called
for
Great glories were inWrOught in the
symbol of April 6, 1917, when we went
to war for the veal of all men and for
ideals that seem to be echoed from
old Palestine across a reach of 1900
years. Almost every day now some
fresh new Splendors are added. The
splendors of heroism on the battle
field, of ministries of love and mercy
in the trench and camp and hospitals
and battered home, of heart out-giv-
ings in the far-fung lines of citizen
ship back home, of agonies long en-
dured in silence for just cause, of
prayers given wing and hopes held
high over the levels of despair.
Into the flag today to make or mar
it's beauty goes the thought that stirs
in the brain of him or her who under
writes a liberty bond. Into it goes the
hearty impulse of all those who share
their bounty with the hapless wards
of the Red Cross. Into it goes the
pride of father, the prayer of a
mother, the yearn Of a wife, the visit
full hope of a sister, the hearty hand
clasp of a brother, and the loving
