seats at my table. because I did not
relish the idea Of having to sit through
the show with German soldiers within
a few feet Of me. That would certainly
have spelled my pleasure for the even

Every uniform that came in the door
gave me cause to worry until was
sure Il was not coming In my direction.

didn't follow to his seat-with my

= Just before they lowered the lights,
two German officers entered. They
stood at the door for a moment look
ing the place over. Then they made q
beeline In my direction and I must
confess my heart started to beat q
little faster. I hoped that they would
find another seat before they came to
my vicinity, but they were getting
nearer and nearer and realized with
q sickening sensation that they were
headed directly for the two seats at
my table, and that was indeed the
case.
These two seats were In front of the
table facing the stage and except when
the officers would be eating or drink

there was considerable consolation in

BERLIN'S PROTEST
ON BOMBING IS
MADE TOO LATE

Washington, Nov. 5.---Action of the
German military forces in the past in
conducting air raids on defenseless
towns in France, Belgium and Eng
land and on, hospitals preclude in the
opinion of military diplomatic observ-
ers here the giving of any serious
attention to the protest from Berlin
against the aerial operations Of the
Allied and American armies.
The plea for cessation of hostilities
delivered to the state department yes
terday through the Swiss legation, de-
clares that since October l. German
air forces have been under orders to
operate only against military objects
In view of these instructions disclosed
through the note for the first time to
the Allies and the United States the
German government says it has as
sumed that similar orders would be
issued by its opponents. Should such
directions not be issued, the German
government declares it reserves the
right to renew its aerial attacks on all
territory behind the lines.
The long list of German bombing
raids on towns outside the zone of
operations and on hospitals was
pointed to today as justifying contin-
uance by the Allied and American air
forces of operations against the non
military detectives of Germany. That
Germany's protest was made too late
was the general belief in many quar-
ters.

CATHOLIC War
COUNCIL DOES
IMPORTANT WORK
Complete and Accurate Rec
ords of Catholic Activity
in War Being Made.

The National Committee on Catholic
War Records has been directed by the
Administrative Committee of Bishops
to use every means possible for the
purpose of securing an accurate and
complete record of all Catholic Amer
lean activity in the present war. This
aspect of the National Catholic War
Council can not be too strongly en-
phasized. Unless we make provis-
ion for the history Of Catholic. patriot
ism and effort in this war we shall
be guilty of neglect which can new
er be remedied and of a mistake
which can never be retrieved. If we
fail to establish authentic records of
our civic and religious activities, and
If we fail to record all the noble work
being done by American Catholics we
are robbing the Church of the future
of inspiration, of example and of in
depreciation. History cannot be
written on the day on which it is
made, and the object of the National
Committee on Historical Records is
to collect for careful preservation ev-
cry record and document which tell
the story of Catholic activity.
The National Committee on Histor-
ical Records has adopted the slogan
that every Catholic should make his
contribution to the history of the
Church's activity in the war.
The Committee is DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning letters from the parents and
relatives of the soldiers, photo
graphs of all those connected with To-
cal war activities, clippings from the
local newspapers, accounts of meet
ings held for war purposes in which
Catholics have taken a part, and all
other material and information which
will one day be of value in furnishing
to the historian of the war the docu-
ments which will tell of the noble
effort of the Catholic Church in the
United States. Every bit of help in
compiling the National Catholic War
Records will count for the honor OF
Church and Country. and for the
glory of the men who are offering
their life's blood and of the women.
who, in their husbands, sons and
brothers, are giving of their hearts
! blood for God and Right.

almost as deficient as in the United
States and Turkey.
Prominent is the demand that all
countries agree to establish minimum
standards including labor's bill of

in this country have gone on record
for more complete protection through

Public officials, national and state,

necessity, by refusing almost univers-
ally to sanction any suspension or
evasion of labor laws.
