Departure of Gen. Greene.
(Tacoma Ledger. ]


 For almost year Tacoma knew Maj. Gen. H A. Greene; and for almost year Tacoma loved him
 While commander of Camp Lewis he had the opportunity to display his exceptional talents as a reader or men, as an executive, democratic gentleman and moral and social teacher
 No General in the service, it is true to say stood more steadfastly for democracy in the Army that Is lighting for democracy than did he He made 1t plain on various occasions that every sol aer at Camp Lewis, officer or private. man. Discipline was not relaxed in fact because they were treated Tn the Western way the young of the West were reader obey
 Since he came to Tacoma Gen. Greene was yigi- ant every moment to safeguard the health and the morals or the men under him. Many mothers and fathers in the West have been thankful that a man or his type was their boys when they eD tered the Army
 Tacoma is entirely disappointed as is Gen. Greene thatrhe is not to lead the 9st division to France. A command at the front was dear to his heart But he is soldier, and a soldier obeys
 For what he has done for division of the National Army, for what he has done for Tacoma citizens here will wish him good fortune wherever he may go, and will be certain that he will find work commensurate with his great ability wherever he may be stationed

MESSAGE OF POPE
WORLD PoIGNANTLY IN NEED OF
MESSAGE OF PEACE so THAT
HATRED MAY BE RANISHED.

A plea for lasting peace is made by
Pope Benedict in his Easter message
to the United States, which he sends
through the Associated Press. His
message reads:
''The first message of the risen
Saviour to His disciples, after suffer
ing the torture of Passion Week, was
Peace be unto YOU Never has the
world for which He sacrificed Himself
needed SO poignantly that message of
peace as today. sas -r5
con this solemn occasion no better
wish can be made to the country SO
dear TO our hearts than that the di-
vine Redeemer may grant realiza-
ton of the desire of all, that is, a
healing of the existing hatred and the
concluding of a lasting peace based
on the foundation of justice, fear of
God, and love of humanity, giving to
the world a new organization of peo-
pies and nations united under the
aegis of true religion in aspiring to
nobler,- purer, and kinder civiliza-
ton.
1T is thus we desire to fulfill our
Masters last injunction to His apos-
ties: Go We into all the world and
preach the Gospel to every creature "

The virtue Of charity has been
universally practiced; the spirit
ual and corporal works Of mercy
have been brought into play
everywhere, and the great awak-
ening has led into the Church
many sincere searchers' after the
truth. The ready response on the
part Of Catholics has tended to
give our fellow citizens a more
intimate view Of our Church, with
the result that prejudice has
broken down to a. great extent.
Referring to the presence of many
Catholic soldiers in the churches
OF the South, "a writer says that
khaki has proved to be one Of the
strongest arguments the Church
ever presented to our people of
the Southland.

SIGNS OF ENCOURAGEMENT.

With suffering and sorrow on
every hand, it is yet possible to
discern signs, OF encouragement as
regards religion. In the first
place, countless men whose past
lives have been more or less in
dependent of religious restraint,
have been brought back to re-
.ligion. Each one has realized that,
so far as he is concerned, only two
beings exist: his soul and God.
The result has been a steady and
serious approach Of the soldiers
to the stern reality of religion.
In the second place, those at
home have given themselves to
prayer and to stricter moral con-
duct in order to help and encour-
age the men at the front. Again.
the. beauties Of religion have BIOS
.somed forth In rich profusion.,

PASSION PHOTO PLAY
CARDINAL BOURNE VIEWS THE
NEW FILM, "CHRISTUS"


Cardinal Bourne was present, to-
gether with the Protestant Bishop of
London and the Rev. r. ]. Campbell
by special invitation last week at the
first display of q new moving-picture
film of the life of Our Blessed Lord
which is being produced under the
title "Christus." We may consider
this the latest development of the
old Catholic Miracle Play, although
very modern adaptation thereof.
The film has taken four years to pro-
duce and is 10000 feet long. All the
scenes have actually been taken in
the Holy Land amongst the surround
ings in which Our Lords sacred min
istry was passed. The film was
shown in churches and schools during
the Lenten period. The work has
been edited by a clergyman and a
preface has been written for it by an
other, but apart from it's picturesque
value, which is very great, it is as
reverently produced as such a modern
presentation of the sacred story of the
Cross can be.

WORK AT GENEVA--VAST BUREAU
OF INFORMATION - SERVICES
FOR PRISONERS OF ALL BEL.
LlGERENTS.

Recently the postmasters announced
that the offices of the International
Red Cross in Switzerland are receiv-
ing letters from the United States in
large numbers containing written en-
closures, accompanied with requests
that such enclosures be mailed in
Switzerland addressed to persons
named in enemy countries, and that
correspondents are advised that, the
International Red Cross offices not
being available as channel through
which to send such communications
the enclosures are not transmitted
out of Switzerland 1t is, therefore,
not amiss to recall to the public just
what the International Red Cross
Bureau does during this war.
Countless numbers of soldiers.
wounded or well, are taken away into
the land of the enemy from where
they are unable to send any communi-
cation to their families and friends.
The handling of such problem came
up for discussion at the Hague in
1907 and it was finally decided in
Washington in 1912 that the Inter
national Red Cross should be en-
trusted with the execution of task
of this description.
The Central Committee of the Red
Cross at Geneva was thus designated
to become, in case of war, the official
mediator between the prisoners of the
different belligerent nations and their
families, and when the present war
started the Red Cross Committee at
Geneva lost no time in establishing a
Bureau in this sense which is gen
orally known as, the agency for the
prisoners of war"
The purpose of this Bureau is to
take care of the transmission of the
correspondence of prisoners of war
with their families and to obtain fol
the latter information about their
dear missing ones. The Agency re.
ceives lists of casualties and of pris.
oners taken from all Combatant coun
tries. All these lists are indexed and
the information made available for
answering enquiries. All enquiries

Italian Catholic Women
GREAT WORK DONE FOR VEL
FARE OF SOLDIERS.

The Catholic women of Italy have
been doing fine work since the begin
ming of the war, nursing the wounded
and seeing after the needs of the pris-
oners, while the spiritual welfare of
the soldiers has been their first
thought. a committee has been
formed for the object of Supplying the
chaplains with portable affairs, vest
ments, and linen, as we'll as seeing
that prayer books, rosaries, and soap
uIars are sent to the men at the front.
The Princess Justiniani Bandini has
recently resigned the presidency of
the Italian Catholic Women's League
owing to i'll health. She has been sue
ceeded in this Office by the Marquise
Maddalena Patrizi, a lady, well known
for her philanthropic deeds, and for
her interest in the spiritual and tenn
poral welfare Of the working girl.

for information are entered and clas-
sified in alphabetical order. An Off
cial request for particulars is then
sent to the country which retains the
prisoner, and as soon as the answer
arrives the same is forwarded to the
families concerned. No efforts are
spared in the tracing of the missing
and most careful enquiries are made
as to their physical condition in the
case of wounded prisoners. In a
great number of cases the results of
the demonstration are successful, which
does not only mean joy for thersearch-
ing relatives, but an equal amount of
satisfaction. for the workers. Many
enquiries are, of course, made with
out any results, the reason being that
the person in question has either dis.
appeared or that the information serv-
ice OF the country which has been in
terrogated is not sufficiently we'll or
ganized
The Bureau was started in Septem-
Der, 1914, with voluntary staff Of
six, but as soon as the existence of
the same became known in Europe,
the incoming mail increased steadily
in SUCH appalling fashion that today
l,2O0 men and women, belonging to
the most select of Genevese society
vie with each other to give a helping
hand in the performance of the gigan-
tic work that confronts this institu-
ton daily.
The huge amount of work per-
formed at this Office is reflected in the
latest report given out by the Swiss
Postal Authorities. The same shows
that since the beginning of the war
until the end of October, 1917, $780,
471,238 letters and postals and 64,-
961 ,069 parcels weighing up to five
kilogrammes have been taken over
and reforwarded to the prisoners of
| war Of both belligerent groups held in
the various countries. There were
also forwarded 5,591,752 bread par
cells amounting to a total of 1O,O79,2
kilogfammes to the Entente prisoners
of war held in Germany and Austria.
CThis bread, however, was mostly
made of wheat imported from France
for this specific purpose) Over
8,730,250 money orders for a total OF
126,606,41369 francs were, moreover,
received and reforwarded to the pris.
oners of war in various lands.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
EFFECTS or DRUGS AND SPIRITS
m LITERATURE.

There are unmstakable signs OF
spirit and drug-taking in the writings
of the many popular authors of today.
Unconsciously these authors describe
their own conditions in the charac-'
tiers they portray. The theories and
statements which the heroes and
heroines express reveal the exact
condition of the authors mental
health.
A very popular novel makes the
hero most brilliant after using wine.
True to life, he writes tumble of
words and lurid rhetoric which seems
to be very wise This literally de-
scribes the authors mind after the
use of spirits. He also justifies the
excess of conduct, and excuses the
eccentricity of the person he dc
scribes, with the simplest statements
that are practically meaningless; and
this also reflects his own mental atti-
tude.
This book has a tremendous sale,
and was clearly written by an alco-
holic mind moving along the border
land of delusion, illusion, hallucina-
tions, and egoism. Another popular
book has a vague, dreamy. Illusion
airy style, and suggestions of thought
and word setting that indicate beyond
question some form of opium used
There are chapters so mystical and
involved that they indicate mind
in the same condition. Then there
are pessimism and alternate dogmatic
optimism in the thought and method
of expression, that are due to
cloudy mind.
There are many other books whose
peculiar construction of thought and
| characters, and whose brusque en-
| trance and exit, startle the reader;
then there are pages in which the
author seems to use childish efforts
to vary the personality, activities, and
| direction of the characters.
In some books the plan has been
marked out clearly, but the execution
is very poor, and all this suggests q
tired brain and one under the influ-
ence of drugs, spirits, tea, coffee, etc.
| The critical student finds unmis-
taxable evidence of the abnormal
state of the authors mind; the vaga-
ries of books, stories, theories, which
explain and urge some strange
thoughts. These reveal the person
ality, habits of life, and mental state
of the authors. A study of alcohol
ism and inebriety in this direction is
as positive and real as are the victims
themselves.

thought more Of votes Chan Of
gratitude. Now, however, both
House and Senate have passed the
bill authorizing the erection Of a
national monument to the heroic
nuns OF the battlefield.
The Hon. Ambrose Kennedy,
representative from Rhode Island,
delivered a remarkable address in
the House on March Is, of this
year. He reviewed the work of
the Sisters, work no less glorious
than that Of the actual COM
batants on the field of battle.
Many wonderful deeds Of heroism
are .Arecounted, and due credit is
given to the, various communities
whose members sacrificed all on
the altar of charity.
It is a matter Of sincere graft
tude on the part, not only of
Catholics, but of all citizens to
realize that recognition, even a
tardy one, has been accorded to
those heroines today. Some peo-
pie are so filled with egotism that
they would erect monuments to
themselves if they could do so
with propriety. The nun, how
ever, is by nature and by profess
sion child of humility and a
lover of obsclrity. She does her
work for God and for His crea-
lures. Personal gain or recogni-
ton are so far beyond her
thoughts that she instantly repels
the slightest suggestion of such
earthly rewards. Her heroic
nature, however, is of such excep-
tional excellence that it deserves
fitting testimonial not only as a
personal tribute but also as a spur
to good deeds on the part of
others, and as lasting reminder
of such soul nobility. I
AS citizens, we rejoice when de-
served honors are conferred upon
any of our fellow citizens, what
ever their condition or creed. AS
Catholics, we have an added rea-
son for rejoicing that the repre-
sentatives Of our faith have given
such high proofs not only Of their
religious belief but also Of their
loyal qualities Of patriotism and
Of humanity.
