has been made acting secretary of the
fund-she is to serve without pay un.
til the next national convention.
Mass Outfit Fund.
The sum of $500 has been con.
tributed to date by the various states
to help purchase Mass outfits for our
chaplains-this is splendid exempli-
fication of Christian piety. Do not
forget, however, that the new draft
law will place at least four million
soldiers in arms, and that such great
increase in our army and navy will
call for hundreds of chaplains. There
must be no falling off in your con-
tributions to the Mass outfit fund. or to
the fund for supplying scapulars,
medals, prayer books, ETC., which
means so much to our boys.
The Fourth Liberty Loan Drive.
The fourth Liberty Loan drive will
be inaugurated on the 2Sth Of Septem-
Der and is to continue for three weeks.
The men who are charged with the
destinies of our country in it's present
critical condition are determined to
follow up one smashing blow with
another, until our enemy is van
pushed. This cannot be accomplished
without money and money is the least,
those OF us who are not asked to give
our lives can contribute. l want each
division president to register with the
local Liberty Loan chairman, and after
that Immediately interview each men,
Der OF her division and ask her to pur-
chase at least one $50 Liberty Bond.
A $50 Liberty Bond in the hands of
each one of our members for the
fourth Liberty Loan must be our
slogan until it is an accomplished
fact. or course those who can afford
to invest more need not stop at $50.
IL each one of our members will in
vest $50 in the fourth Liberty Loan It
will mean $5,00O,000 to bac Pershing.
Sisters, in Gods name and for His
sake, ask you to make the effort at
this time and we can look forward
one short year and behold our boys
marching home triumphant and VIC
torious. For such glorious sight
would you not be willing to go hungry
and cold, If necessary, this coming
winter? God bless you, am sure you
would.
In Conclusion.
l wish to emphasize the fact that If
the members of the Ladies' Auxiliary.
A. O. H., love that organization and
desire to hold it above every other
society, they will begin today to do
the things that will make the society
second to no other in point of patriotic
service rendered to our government.
Begin now to do the things that will
make our society loved and respected.
!Organize Ladies' Auxiliary Red Cross
units where they do not now exist,
and In fact, every service you render
to our government from this day
forth and for the duration of the war,
do 1t as a Hibernian unit. You may
say this is narrow-minded piece of
advice l am giving you. 1t would be
if we had no bigots in our midst. But
strange things are being done today In
the name of patriotism; the bigot is
more active than ever, he is more
eager to asperse the motives of those
, he does not like than he is to render
aid to his country. Then, too, the
history which our national Irish His
tory chairman is to write will be far
more definite and far more reliable
If you keep your patriotic Hibernian
units intact. Remember above all
things the motto in the preamble of
our constitution and do all things for
God and for country, not forgetting
for one moment the mother country.
