NATIONAL GUARD WILL
GO OUT OF EXISTENCE

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 24.-Ii
congress determines to continue the
national guard as the army reserve
81 the nation, Secretary Baker said
today, the guard service will have Ia
be reconstructed from the ground up
liberalization of the guard for wa,
service, the war department has held
on the opinion of Brigadier General
Samuel 7. Ancell, acting judge advo-
cate general, will wipe out of exis-
ence the federalized regiments. When
the men are discharged they will re-
turn to civilian life without any obli-
cation either to the federal or state
governments to continue in national
guard service.
Mr.. Baker expressed a belief that
the problem of the national guard is
bound up closely with the question
of what congress may do later in
framing legislation to establish a per
manent military policy. Should some
system of universal military training
be worked out, army officers said,
it is probable that the national guard
would cease to exist. The war de-
partment has made no recommenda-
ton on the subject.
There are many national guard un-
its organized since the war by the
various states which are not affected
by the war departments ruling. In
some cases federal recognition has
been obtained, bringing the units un-
der the liberalization section of the
act of 1916.
The great mass of the guard, how
ever was merged into the temporary
forces of the army Of the United
States for the war, thereby complete
ly losing it's identity. These regi-
ments, including every historic mill
tary organization in the country,
some of them with records dating
back to the Revolutionary war, and
many of them being survivals of Civil
war volunteer organizations, must
under the ruling be reconstructed
recruited to necessary strength and
again presented to the federal gov
ernment for recognition before they
can take a place in the federalized
national guard.

ISAAC R. knS.sPATR|CK
REPORTED ACCIDENT.
ALLYk|lLED|N FRANCE

In letter received this morning
from Ed. Burlington who is in France,
Ed. says Isaac Kirkpatrick was acci-
dentally killed there a few days be-
fore the letter was written and was
buried over there.
The letter was short and that was
about all it said on that subject. The
report is received with sadness but
until official Washington is heard on
the report it cannot be taken as true
as Ed. perhaps may be mistaken. Il
is true there have been a number Of
New Mexico boys killed within the
past two months as the casualty list
shows each day. Isaac was lieuten-
ant and the death was supposed to
have occurred several weeks ago, SO
it does not seem possible that his COM
RAIDS or superior officers would not no
tify his parents. His friends cannot
and will not believe he is dead until
they hear it officially. The News is
hoping no official note will be received
but that another letter from Isaac
will arrive and clear up the matter.

AMERICAN PRISONERS HELP

Immediately upon their release,
Americans who had been imprisoned
during the war by the Turkish govern
ment, began to do relief work among
the destitute and starving peoples of
western Asia. Among the prisoners
were William Nelson, former vice.
sonsul at Troiyli, Syria, and Charles
Arthur Dana, of the Presbyterian
Board of Foreign Missions. They were
accused of espionage by the Ottoman
government, the charge having grown
out of the help the Americans had
given to Armenian refugees.

VIM. TROUP, Jr., Is DEAD

VIM. Troup received word Sunday
that his son, William, had died ir Pu-
eblo, Colo, where he had been working.
The cause of his death was pneu-
monia which followed FLU" Bill was
a strong young fellow and the flu
with pneumonia seems to take those
kind Of fellows. In other words they
seem to be favorites.
Trains were lied up on account Of
the snow and it was impossible for
Mr.. Troup to go to Pueblo to attend
the funeral or TO have the remains
brought here for burial so the funeral
was held there and interment made at
Pueblo.

AN EXPERT RIFLEMAN

Bailey Terry of near Ragland, re-
turned home Saturday from Camp
Pike, where he has been stationed for
several months. He says jeff Neill,
of Endee, who returned week ago
from New York, made record for
himself at Camp Pike. Neill hit the
bulls eye ten times out of time shot,
and did the other necessary prelimi-
naries and requirements, all in one
minute. Mr.. Terry said Neill only
remained in Camp Pike few days
and when armistice was signed he was
on ship steaming toward France. II
was good thing for Germany to stop
the war before such nm expert rifle
man as Neill landed over there. Terry
said Neill made the best record of any
man in the company.

the National Headquarters that the
National Treasury would call upon
New Mexico about December 5th for

made during the campaign were pay
other 25 per cent not later than Janu-
airy 18th and the final 25 per cent not
later than March lst.
New Mexico received high honors
during the campaign inasmuch as two

New Mexico was one of the first states
in the union to raise her quota and will
have a movable hut named after it.
In addition to this the first ten states
subscribing the largest per centage
will be honored. State Headquarters
has recommended that one be Young
Mems Christian Association and the
other Knights of Columbus. These
buildings will be movable and will be
assigned the largest division in France

ARM ENIA

ltau ! tne tears OF all the years
Since tears began to flow
could not shed them fast enough
To rightly speak her woe!
o little harried garden land
Oh Eden of Mans birth,
Oh tortured stricken country.
Her grief thrills all the earth.
She stretches out her bleeding hands
Let her not cry in vain!
Oh give and give and give once more
To ease Armenia's pain!
Amy Sherman Bridgman.
President Wilson has issued "a pro-
clamation appealing to the generosity
Of the American people in behalf of
the millions of war sufferers in the
Near East,-Armenians Syrians, and
Greeks who have been driven from
their homes by Hun invasions, and
who are literally starving to death by
the thousands. A campaign for relief
funds will be conducted January l2--
10. Following is the Presidents pro-
camation:
"For more than three years Ameri-
can philanthropy has been large fac
tor in keeping alive Armenian, Syrian,
Greek and other exies and refugees of
Western Asia.
"On two former occasions ] have
appealed to the American people in
behalf of these homeless sufferers,
whom the vicissitudes Of war and mas
sacre had brought to the EXTREMIST
need.
"The response had been most gener-
Gus, but now the period of rehabita-
ton is at hand. Vastly larger sums
will be required to restore these once
prosperous, but now impoverished, re-
fuges to their former homes than were
required to sustain life in their desert
exile.
ut is estimated that about 100000
Armenian. Syrian, Greek and other
war sufferers in the Near East will re-
quire outside help to sustain them
through winter. Many of them are
now hundreds of miles from their home
land. The vas: majority of them are
ntlDlcSS "oiucH anu
ing 100000 orphans.
"The American Committee for relief
in the Near East is appealing for a
minimum of $50 900 900 to be subscrib-
ed January 1919, 1919, with which to
meet the most urgent needs of these
people.
~. therefore, again call upon the
people of the United States to make
even more generous contributions than
they have made heretofore to sustain
through the winter months those, who,
through no fault Of their own, have
been left in starving, shelterless con-
dition, and to help re-establish these
ancient and sorely oppressed people In
their former homes on self-support-
ing basis.

tits no ;exaggeratien 70 say that the
Church officially recognizes as mis-
sionaries, fulfilling the precept of. Our
Lord, GO We and teach all nations, -"
every one of those who have Joined
the Association for the Propagation of
the Faith, whilst those who have not
joined missionary organization have
no part or. share in the missionary
life Of the Church, however Jealous
they may be in other Catholic actiy-
tiles. ,,s
) Why should we join this Society
and why should we beaanxious to take
part in the missionary life of the
Church. We would answer with an
other question, why are those men
of the United States who are pre-
vented by some good and adequate
reason from enlisting in the Army, SO
eager to enlist in some service helpful
to the country" Obviously because,
as loyal and patriotic members of the
country they are eager to have some
share at least in. the maintenance of
her interests and welfare, even though
circumstances prevent their going to
the front. So, too, surely loyal and
patriotic Catholics will be eager to
have a share in foreign mission work.

NUNS IN THE WAR.

A heartfelt tribute to the bravery
and patriotism of the Catholic Sisters
has been paid by Protestant soldier
recently returned from France, wound.
ed and disabled. Here is what he
says in letter to a daily paper
Dear Sir. l am soldier home from
France on account of wound which
has made me unfit for further service.
Since came home have heard much
of the Red Cross over there-and
surely they merit praise,-but never
once have heard the Catholic Sisters
praised for their work. \ My father is
a Civil War veteran, and although we
are not Catholics, he has not forgotten
their nursing him and his wounded
comrades, and he has often babe me
respect the Catholic Sisters. 1t was
owing to one of them he escaped
death after a battle; he had been ly-
ing on the field under shell fire day
and a night when one of them braved
shot and shell and led his rescue. My
turn came over there The battle
was over and the dead were lying all
around me, and l had been knocked
unconscious. When | revived there
were two Sisters bending over me,
though the Smelling was yet going on.
They managed to get stretcher.

CHOSE TO BE WHIPPED RATHER
THAN LOSE ONE COMMUNION. .

In the village of Akork, Fang,
Africa, four girls (sisters) the oldest
about Is, the youngest barely 10 years
old, had been prepared for baptism
and first Holy Communion at the Mis-.
sion School. After a time, their
father, hardened old pagan, deter
mined to bring his daughters home
and in spite of their. tears and EN-
treaties they had to return to their
village. -
Here, they became real little mis-
sionaries, assembling the children of
the village, teaching them prayers,
catechism and hymns. When the fnia-
sionary Father visited the, village he
found these children so we'll prepared
that they were ready for baptism.
On leaving, he invited the four
sisters to come to the Mission at
Easter that they might again have the
happiness of receiving Holy Comn1un-
ion. We quote from the Missionary
himself: "On the morning of the
Resurrection my four First Cen1mun-
icants arrived, greeting me with a
joyful, Here we are!" But alas, in
what condition! Torn and bleeding!
Horrified and overcome with pity, |
cried out: my poor children, who
could have thus i'll treated you?" ooh,
Father, this is what happened" an
swered the oldest girl: "You told us

MORE HARD TIMES IN AFRICA.

A most pitiful story comes from FIR.
Rault, C. S. Sp., regarding the misery
of his Kikuyus. The rainy season has
failed and the parched African soil is
bringing no new crops to the natives,
while the potatoes that were ripening
in the ground have been burned as If
by a fire. Immediate help is needed.
The Father adds:
ITO complete the list of our misfor-
tunes must state that the little coffee
plantation belonging to the mission
a source of considerable income-has
also been destroyed by the drought.
Spiritually, we have no longer to
bewail the indifference of the Kikuyus
The post at Gatanga counts hundred
Christians, and fifty others are pre-.
pairing for baptism.
THE Church at Mangu is we'll filled
on Sundays with young and old, and
shall baptize many more there, grown
persons as well as infants. Thus the
seed sown in soil that seemed stony is
bearing most gratifying fruit"
