The Fighting Church

The Jesuits now lovingly bestow
the title 'The Fighting Church"
upon the church of Rome. We say
the Jesuits do it for we find an ar
ticle which does so in that Jesuit pa
per known as America, issue for
May 18th.
Now on occasions when THE
MENACE has called attention to the
fact that Rome still operates the
papal system within the fold just
as she did inVthe dark ages and
that she operates against heretics
and Graves power, by the same
means and for the same ends just
as she did in the worlds darkest

nothing Of what it was talking
about. Nothing rs so familiar in
the Romish press as the repeated
and labored attempts to make it ap-
pear that the church has outgrown
or abandoned her militaristic and
enslaving tactics. . For that reason
a frank admission Of the fact and
q complete vindication Of MENACE
claims coming from an authoritative
papal source is refreshing even
though it comes in the guise Of q
boast and is in line with Rome'f
tactics Of always trying to show
that the methods Of the present in
meeting all problems have always
been the policy with the Roman
church. She is always trying to gel
on the band wagon. This time she
does it and admits all THE MEN.

Note the following quotation from

ALPHA TINES.

The country is full OF business men,
You will run across one now AMI
then,
For instance, you take your town,
The street is full of them up and
down.
Groceries. drugs, and places where
they are selling pop,
Dry goods. hardware, and a Poker
shop
And nicer men you never saw be-
fore.
But they can't beat the one in the
grocery store.
When he first started here you
should have seen.
He had them all skinned, dry and
clean.
As for the expense, he didn't give
shoot,
On every payday he would give a
bag of fruit.
But 1t wasn't very long you'd have
to wait,
Before he started to cut down on
the weight
When you come with money he
would look very glad,
He'd only give you little candy in
stead.
Then along with that nice big
smile,
But even thatd last only a short
while,
And when you came again TO pay.
He would take the money and put 1t
away,
Then look down, start to cough and
spit.
Look up again, thank you, that is
all you get
A man paying his bills Is doing his
part
Then why not use him square as in
the start?
But, gentlemen; there are others
who have grocery stores,
And IL we buy there we will be
treated same as before,
To give us weight they are not afraid
AS they are making money by get
ting our trade,
And for the money which we have

tiny, insignicant act-something she had done for nights and nights innum- erable!
 I heard once the story of man, a widower, who had one little girl whom he adoredy He was in the habit of hav- ing her drive with him every morning in his little buggy with the sprightly horse. One morning 1t seems that he noticed a small nick in the shaft. He thought that it was just the varish wearing off or something of the sort, and paid no attention to it; in reality it was deep crack in the wood, and as the buggy whizzed out the main entrance, some thing snapped and the little girl was hurled headmost against the great stone pillars and instantly killed!
 Just little bit of carelessness, but it meant to the man the loss of the most precious thing on earth to him. There's no one, matters not how young they may be, who cannot recall some instance of painful results from appar- entity infinitesmal carelessness, and were we all to allow ourselves to brood over i the matter, it would be very easy to be- come morbid and nervous to a degree. Carelessness is so much a matter of habit that it would be an almost impos- sible task to entirely correct ourselves, not one would remain sane and yet be the possible results of every action, more reasonably careful in every word we utter, especially during wartimes

Elaborate Plans Are Being Made to Care for All American Wounded Abroad

With the American Army in France, January 7.--(By the Associatde Press Elaborate plans for the care of Ameri- can sick, wounded and blind soldiers were announced today by Surgeon Gen erai Bradley. These plans contemplate ample hospital room for every soldier re- puiring attention. In addition 15 com plete hospital trains have been ordered
 in England and two in France, and more will be ordered later The largest drug order ever made in England has just been placed by the American ex- peditionary forces Everything possible is being purchased in Europe in order to save cargo space.
 The only wounded men who will be re- turned to the United States will be those who it is determined are permanently urfit for army service The great num- Der of eminent American specialists and surgeons in the army assures to the av- craze enlisted man infinitely better treatment than would be possible in his own home.
 Of the present deaths among the American forces nearly 50 per cent. are due to pneumonia or to other affections Of the respiratory tract.
