 Generally however, the press seems to adopt q very serious point of view of the innovation. The French are notorlously the greatest bread eaters in the world and much doubt is ex- pressed as to the ration of a, little over half pound per day being sutTi cient.

There are other heroes besides our
brave boys in khaki and blue, other
dangers scarcely less terrible than
machine gun nests. 1t takes no less
courage to expose oneself to virulent
forms of fatal disease than to front
the enemy's fire in the storm of bat
tie. Yet all over the United States
during these last weeks we have had
examples without number of this un-
obtrusive, high-spirited bravery, ready
and eager to put life in jeopardy in
order to minister to the sick. Physi-
clans, nurses, ministers of religion
have all had their share, their large
share in this self-sacrifice, and their
memory will be an inspiration. They
themselves make light of their cour-
age and say they have merely done
their duty; but their duty called for
altruism of very high type, and they
have not flinched in it's performance.
Others, not called by duty or pro-
fession, but merely volunteers, have
done the same. The mayor of Phila-
delphia finding the resources of his
city totally inadequate to cope with
the epidemic, asked the Archbishop to
come to his assistance. At once the
latter appealed to the nuns. The re-
SPONGE was spontaneous, generous to-
the eXtreme-heroic. Emergency hos
pitfalls sprang into existence almost
over night, and 1000 Sisters went
forth from their converts to fight the
plague in hospitals, almshouses, and
in private houses. If the remaining
one-third of the Sisters did not do the
same, it was because they were need
ed at home to care for the sick in
their own communities. Had their
wishes been consulted they would
have been given no notice, but their
services have been written by high
officials where all may read. The
mayors statement is unstinted in
praise:
have never seen a greater demon
stration of real charity or self-sacri-
flee than has been given by the Sis
ters in their nursing of the sick, ire
spective of the creed or color of the
victims, wherever the nuns were sent.
look upon the service rendered by
the Archbishop and the nuns as one
of the most potent aids in making
the headway we have toward getting
control of the epidemic.
There was, it is true, certain OBJ

render this testimony, unsolicited and

however, surprise you.

hearing of O'Meara, his doctor, on

He had, in fact, planned to become

Napoleon thought himself an ag-

more than he thought he believed.
He said: Il know man, and tell
you that Jesus Christ is not a man.
The religion of Christ is a mystery

proceeds from mind which is not a

Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne

upon what did we rest the creations
of our genius? Upon force. Jesus

Minnesota Soldiers
Decorated For Distinguished Service
In France.

The names of two Minnesota SOL
diers are included in a recent list
from Washington as having been dec
Grated for distinguished action in
France.
Patrick Nick Heinz, Holdingford,
Minn., Company M, 2Sth infantry, has
been awarded the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross for extraordinary heroism
near Vilcey, France, when, on Septem-
Der IL, assisted by another soldier, he
outflanked German machine gun
nest, killed the gunner and captured
the gun. Although seriously wounded
he stayed with the gun until relief
came 12 hours later, the citation said.
Private Herbert E. Barry, Interna-
tional Falls, member of the 359th
infantry, has been decorated with the
Distinguished Service Cross for ex-
traordinary action near Fay-en-Haye,
France, on September 12.
,. The citation said that Private Barry,
while carrying a message through a
heavy barrage, was knocked down by
shell explosions several times, but
with heroic devotion to duty, he con-
tinued on his mission. On the return
trip he was rendered unconscious for
three hours by a shell, but upon re-
covering he Immediately reported to

The three greatest men the nations
that were at war have produced are
undoubtedly President Wilson, Mar
shal Foch and Cardinal Mercier, all
religious men, and the last two emf
nent Catholics. The subjoined tribute
to the religion of Foch is taken from
an editorial by Arthur Brisbane in the
Chicago American of October "a:
The fact that Marshal Foch, leader
of all the allied armies, is deeply re-
ngious will interest Americans of all
religions, and of no religion.
-Foch's brother is a Catholic priest.
Foch himself, is extremely devout.
While he leads and directs the arm
les of more than half the world, his
people at home, and even the children,
pray for him, at his request.
The other day in Baltimore, at a
celebration in honor of Cardinal Glib
bons' fiftieth anniversary as a bishop,
Monsignor William Barnes, Catholic
chaplain of the University of Oxford,
England, gave three interesting facts
about Foch.
Wilson, Foch and Mercier.
The Catholic children of England
have recently received Holy Com
munion on behalf of Marshal Foch,"
and Catholic children in America are
asked to do the same.
When informed of this Marshal
Foch wrote to Monsignor Barnes:
"The act of faith which the chill
dren of Great Britain have made for
my intention has profoundly touched
me. Please express my gratitude to
them, and h B them to continue their
prayers for the victory of our just
cause"
Later he wrote:
81 am still depending on the pray
ers of the children. Ask them to 60
to Communion for me again and
again"
The old idea Of fighter, an Alex
ander, Caesar or Napoleon, was of
one relying on himself and not much
else. Trust in God and keep your
powder dry was supposed to mean be
especially careful to keep the powder
dry.
Here comes Foch, selected by the
four great nations to control and
