A special to the Commercial APP
peal under date of December 27, says:
Optimism prevails, and Washington
is happy tonight.
ut is the greatest political event in
the advance of human liberty since
the emancipation proclamation by
Abraham Lincoln, January 1, 1863"
That statement, summarizing the
situation, was commonly heard, and
it aptly voiced the general feeling.
It meant very much to every con-
scientioUs intelligence. 1t meant that
the United States had launched itself
in real dead earnest in this war, stop
ping for no sacrifice of old-time no
tions or preconceived ideas, but was
determined to put everything in the
pot so it cooked the Hohenzollern
kaiser's imperial goose.
1t is on the cards for the south
to profit immeasurably by the control
Of the railroads by the government.
Not by design is the south to profit,
but as a result of fortuitous circum-
stances Ports in the south will of
necessity be, designated as points OF
great activity in the matter Of traffic
concentration.

PASS INTO THE
GOVERNMENTS POSSESSION

Washington, December %. - The
railroads of the United States passed
into government possession at noon
today as Secretary McAdoo, desig-
mated by President Wilson as director
general of railroads, was delegating
to the railroads war board the task Of
operating them for the present.
The war board, comprising five of
the country's foremost railroad exec
utives, who have been in supreme
charge of the roads for the last nine
months, were called into conference
at IL O'Clock to discuss plans for
welding all transportation lines into
a single government operated sys-
tenn. They left the treasury depart
ment two hours later under instruc-
lions to continue their functions and
to submit Immediately plan of oper-
alton to the director general.
Tonight Mr.. McAdoo issued his first
formal order, designed to speed up
freight movement, telegraphing ali
railroad presidents ami directors in
structions to move traffic by the most
convenient and direct 1oute. At the
same time he ordered them to CON
tinue operation of their lines in con-
formity with the presidents proclA.
nation putting them under govern
ment control.
There was no indication toight
whether Mr.. McAdoo intended even
tually to displace the war board with
an organization of his own or to con-
tinue its organization for the duration
of the war. 1t was made clear, how
ever that it will continue to function
until the director general decides that
a better system can be devised.

that equal tonnage should leave Dutch

Holland, once under the thumb Of the

Holland is in serious predicament.

facing two dangerous courses to pursue.
Refusal means the making Of conditions

TURKEY AND BULGARIA


The reported unwillingness Of Presi-
dent Wilson to approve declaration OF
war against Bulgaria and Turkey, be.
cause they did not yet stand in the way OF
the United States in its war upon the
Central Empires, implies distinction
and technicality too fine to be noticed
by the average American eye. OF course,
there is no wisdom in deliberately multi
plying the number Of formal enemies, as
Germany has done; button the other hand
there are obvious disadvantages in con-
tinuing to regard as friends those who
are in the closest alliance with our enc
mics, and who cannot help but sympath-
ize with and aid them against us by every
means in their power. Perhaps the fact
has not yet been established, but there is
little reason to doubt it as fact never
theless, that Bulgarian troops are facing
us in hostile array on the fields of France
or at the passes in Italy where American
units are presumably in service. But even
in the absence Of such proof, there are
abundant reasons, based both upon con-
sistency and self protection, for ending
the present anomaly by adopting the res
olatiop 81 Senator King Of Utah.
Only one argument carrying notice
able weight exists against It; and that is,
the added dangers to those Americans
who may still be in Turkey engaged in
educational, missionary and humanitari-
an work. The semi-barbarous and fan
atical Turk is none too patient or consid-
crate with respect to these nations un-
der the best Of circumstances and q de-
claration of war might have the effect
of releasing all his pent up passion and
hatred toward them, resulting in the UNI
speakable atrocity and massacre for
been stated, however, that in nearly all
cases Of Americans who would thus be
put in jeopardy, due warnings have been
given and plans for their protection or
escape and rescue have been made Sure
" the ultimate contingency Of war with
Turkey must have been seriously reck-
oned upon during the past year; and II
steps to meet It have not been taken long
before this time, somebody has been gull
ty of almost fatal rastination. IL the
administration in any of its executive de-
partments has knowledge Of conditions Or
circumstances Of the kind above referred
to, the Senate will be wise in deferring
action until all can have been done that is
possible for the safety Of our citizens I'M
der the shadow Of the Crescent flag.
Otherwise, there is no apparent reason
why the formal declaration should be
longer delayed, and these hostile embas-
sizes or headquarters be denied the many
immunities and privileges which it Is be-
ieyed they are already using our injury.

in charge of mission districts. These

FOR THE BOYS WHO ARE GOING
OVER.

Recently the Catholic Church Elk.
tension Society received letter from
a soldier in southern camp, asking
that the chaplain Of his company be
supplied with Mass outfit. Surely
if your boy was among the boys in
this particular company you would
gladly send your donation for the
purchase of all outfit, in order that
the boys may more regularly attend
to their religious duties.
If your boy doesn't happen to be
among them, there are other Catholic
boys in this company, and their souls,
as is the soul of your own boy, are
priceless in the eyes of God. While we
have supplied great many army and
navy chaplains with a Mass kit, there
are still many who are patiently wait
ing for some generous donor to supply
them with one, in order that they may
be better able to minister to the spir-
itual wants OF the boys under their
care.
Now is the time to supply these diff
4erent chaplains with an outfit such
rs We have prepared for their use.

visit to the electrical establishment of

such ideas from the mind of the most
determined anti-modernist. Every

bert Breton, p. T.. NJ, has started a
work which only needs support to be
very effective. He gives some facts
which we ought to know, and also
makes an appeal which is sanctioned
by Bishop Cantwell:
I'VE have in Southern California a
Japanese population of 25,000 Two
years ago a Catholic school was es.
! tablished to give the children born
of these pagan and oriental families
| a strongly Catholic and American
| education. The school opened with
an enrolment of three; today we have
one hundred and twenty, and every
indication is that two hundred pupils
Twill have to be accommodated next
year. The present school building, an
old two-room cottage, which also
serves as chapel on Sundays, is ill
adapted for school purposes, taxed be-
yond it's capacity, and must be re-
placed to meet our growing needs.
A chapel must also be provided for
our new converts.
A large sum has to be raised in
order to carry out these plans. 1t is
an almost desperate case for priest
who for the. time being has only a
few parishioners, mostly new con-
verts, to rely upon. The fact that
the main Japanese colony is located
in the business district still adds to
the difficulty of the task with which
am confronted, but which l am re-
solved, with our Bishops warm ap-
to the generosity of the American
Catholics at large.

work than to convert to Christ souls

might also have written that in the

woman's thoughts are very apt to turn

but an artist as well. Mrs. A. N.

both of these requirements. She
