Rome, Feb. 2O.- Correspondence of The Associated Press)- Flying Cowboys" is the popular title given here, to Uncle Sam's first fighting corps in Italy. The American avia- tors officers and students located at 3 training camp in southern Italy are frequent visitors in Rome and as they all wear the United States army's scrvice hat, popularly known here as the cowboy" hat the word cowboy has been applied to them.
 That these aviators are regarded as cowboys was illustrated by an in cident with cab driver that occurred when party of them were on leave in Rome and went outside the city walls to see the Catacombs of St.. Calixtus on the Appian Way. When the aviators got out of the cab near the entrance to the burial place of the early Christians, they asked the cab

WAR CLOUD" |s
 SEEN LAST NIGHT
Sudden Appearance of Aurora Bore alis Creates No Little Sensa-
 ton Here.

An unusual phenomena appeared in the heavens last night between 9 and ii o'clock and was visible to the north of Newport locally. Authori- ties explain the phenomena as being the aurora borealis, which is an il- lumination of the skies resembling fire, and while common occurrence in northern states, is seldom visible this far south. It generally moves from north and west to the east.
 No little sensation developed here when the illumination became visible. Not few thought Diaz was being consumed by fire, but when the glow began to move eastward one's thoughts turned to a German aerial bombardment. One man thought it was some of Uncle Sam's airplanes out for a cross country run and plain ly recognized the painted stars and stripes.
 1t was most spectacular, and those who missed seeing it were sorry this morning.

Predicts Beginning 0f End
 Of Hun Military Machine

On the Belgian Front, Feb. s. Correspondence of The Associated Press A. de Ceuinck, the distinguished soldier and minister of war for Belgium, today expressed to the correspondent of The Associated Press the firm conviction that great offensive by the Germans on the Western front would be the begin ming of the end of the Prussian mill tary machine This is true, said the general because even if the enemy should put his entire strenth into an assault it was doomed to certain failure in view of allied preparedness. Having defeated the Germans in their onslaught, the allies would be in position, through the balance of power which America had brought them, to counter with Irresistible force.
 The minister had been asked to discuss the military situation as it appeared in, the light of Germans

The gen. eeral received the correspondent in the chateau which is being used as executive headquarters for the war and talked freely for half an hour or more. General de Ceuninck is a veteran of many bat ties, and he had brought with him to the ministry the comprehensive grasp of large problems, the quick decision and the discipline which have made his reputation in the Bel
 gian army. One reads assurance and alertness in his every word and move.
 At the outset of the conversation the general spoke of the close friend ship existing between Belgium and the United States, and referred in the most grateful terms to the assistance which America has rendered her ally

In the death of Archbishop Ireland
America loses one of her most re-
nowned citizens. His love of country,
education and freedom made him the
great patriotic force he was. Ever
interested in the upbuilding and bet
terment of our people, he was not
able champion of America and her
liberal institutions. The loss occa-
stoned by the passing of this great
character will be most keenly felt
throughout the state and country.
Mayor Hodgson, st. Paul.
The name of Archbishop Ireland
will hold forever high and honorable
place in the history of city, state and
nation, and he will be remembered as
a great cnurchman, as splendid for
ward-looking American citizen, and,
perhaps best of all, as a kindly, neigh
borly associate with his fellow men.
St. Paul Guild of Catholic Women.
In the death of our beloved Arch
bishop the Guild of Catholic Women
feels a keen loss. He guided the
hands of our founders and they built
wisely and well. He counselled with
us in the furthering of all new prof.
ects, and we found that counsel good.
He was the friend we counted on when
we met rough places in our path, and
that friendship never failed us. Sweet
memories are ours of his long service
to US. Those memories we shall
cherish long, and they will long guide
US and help us.

he used all of them and to the very

mourn the death of Archbishop
Ireland. He was a great patriot as

an old and valued friend, and more

st. Paul Association.
We are met not to express idle
sorrow at the death of Archbishop
Ireland, but rather our appreciation
of his high qualities, and gratitude
that his long life was spent in St.
Paul.
To this association, composed of
citizens of many creeds, the Arch
bishops civic qualities make an espe-
cial appeal. Such of us as are of the
faith he so eloquently advocated, may
feel that we have special claim
upon his memory, but his magnificent
citizenship is a common heritage
which we all share.
He demonstrated that the highest
type of American citizenship depend
ed not upon birthplace or race, but
upon understanding and giving ale
glance to the principles and ideals
which guided the great men who
founded this Republic.
He had the greatness of simplicity.
and thought his influence for good was
worldwide, to his fellow-citiZens of
st. Paul he always appeared the
kindly clergyman they had known
from boyhood.
The association has lost this illus
trious member, but rejoices in the
memory of his long, virile and beau
tiful life: life which in his youth,
he himself dedicated to those things
which are spiritual and immortal, and
as we believe, must receive the re-
ward of Immortality.
