ITALIANS SHOW
PATRIOTISM IN
FOURTH PARADE.
Presence OF Foreign Born in Inde-
pendence Day Procession Sig
nificant Feature.
DEMONSTRATES REAL LOYALTY
DOfi Hats as Cfty's Service Flag for
Those Who Have Given Lives
Passes by.

The presence OF $50 Italians in
Rock Islands Fourth OF July parade
was enc of the most significant fea-
lures OF the day. impressing as It
did the loyalty of the foreign born
TO the country Of their adoption.
Carrying both the American and
Italian flags nearly every Italian
in Rock Island and Moline partici-
pated. Conspicuous, too, was their
reverence for the American flag and
their display of patriotism as hats
were doffed and salutes given as
old glory passed by.
While hundreds of people partici-
pated in the parade many others
viewed the spectacle from the side
lines, these latter including many
people from out Of the city who
were attracted by the events OF the
day.
Heads were barred when Rock Is
lands service flag for those who
have made the supreme sacrifice
passed by. 1t stood representing
Is lives that have been sacrificed
In the great struggle for liberty and
was borne on a simply but beauti-
fully decorated float. Tears were
shed as the emblem made It's way
slowly down Second avenue and its
presence brought a hush to the on
lockers and marchers.
Several bands secured by the IN
dependence Day association OF Rock
island proved big factor in making
the parade here a success. Music
was furnished almost continuously
while the parade passed through
the downtown streets. The coun-
ter marching plan made 1t possible
for all taking part in the process
sion to view the other marchers
and floats.
Floats Are Feature.
Floats furnished by local retail
and wholesale merchants added
much to the beauty OF the pro-
cession. They were decorated with
rious colored bunting.
The largest unit in the entire pa
rade was that composed of Red
Cross workers. Dressed in the
standard white uniforms with the
customary Red Cross emblem on
their wells, more than five hundred
showed their loyalty. Not one Red
Cross worker was absent from the
parade, the Red Cross headquarters
claim.
Rock Islands parade, although
small in comparison with some of
the other parades that have been
held here, was a success.

MARvELs OF SURGERY IN WAR
Surgeons With Allies Fighters Repair
Seemingly Hopeless Gases Of
Shattered Bone.

The marvels of surgery which have
resulted from the stimulus of war
work have COMPOUNDED the prophets.
News OF the bravery of our fighting
men Is not more inspiring than the
accounts Which come In constantly Of
the achievements of the scientists Of
the entente in the field Of surgery
and medicine, says Portland OregOnian.
There landed in an eastern port the
other day Canadian soldier who Is
only one of the thousands who can
thank their stars that constructive sci
ence Is keeping pace with destructive
enterprise. He had been in the thick
OF the fighting Mt Ypres In 1915. shrap-
mel had shattered the bones Of both
ankles and both wrists. For long
time he lay in q London hospital, be-
lieving that his case was hopeless and
Then came surgeons who undertook
the delicate task Of literally "setting
him on his feet" Eventually he
emerged two inches or SO shorter
than when he enlisted, walking
straight, with ngile step. and with full
command of his arms and hands.
In principle the repair Of this sol
der was not wholly new thing
bone surgery had made material nd
vances In the decade before the war
begun. An interesting feature Of the
case, however, is that It was part OF
the routine of military hospital, that
the surgeons who performed the high
ly intricate operation and made COM
rlcte restoration Of man who &c
years ago would have been doomed
to life Of hopeless helplessness makes
no claim to especial merit, and thu,
the whole accomplishment was treated
rs matter of course. The soldier
is SO far recovered that he expects
presently to return joyfully to the fir
ing line; the surgeons turn without
more ado to the next case. which ma!
be seemingly quite rs hopeless bu
wholly different in matters of techni'
and detail.

LIQUIDATES DEBT TO FRANCE
In Sending Prune Trees to Devastated
Country, California Is Repaying
an Obligation.

California is generously sending a
million and half two-year-Old prune
trees to help in restoring the French
orchards, and enough seed beans to
plant 10000 acres. Canada is under
taking the planting Of thousands of
Canadian naples in France. 1t is
pleasant also to know that there is to
be no lack of outside help for the dew
astated towns, observes Christian Sci
ence Monitor, in stating these facts.
English and American architects are
at work on plans for new buildings to
replace those RACED by the guns, both
in Belgium and in France.
The Indianapolis News sees senti-
ment in the prune tree transaction. 1t
says: '"These trees are expected to con-
vert $4,000 acres into bearing orchards
in two years. It was France which, in
1856, gave to California her first
prune trees. The prune, which since
then has filled many gap on the table
of the American boarding houses, and
has borne the brunt Of many jest,
keeps right on proving it's WORTH"

Thrilling adventures of the old jour-

revolver shots at him and every shot

killed.
Several times Scotty had been in

Troop. Suffered From Thirst.

Some Of the hardships experienced
by the British forces in Palestine are
described in a letter received by a
friend in Montreal from priest. The
letter, written shortly before the fall
of Jerusalem, tells Of day early in
November when a camel convoy from
Beersheba was unable to reach the
men then fighting for the deliverance
Of the Holy City from the Turk.
"There was a hot wind blowing"
wrote the priest. "A tumbler full Of
water was left in my bottle, which
divided between four officers whose
lips were split and covered with a
green slime. That afternoon had q
burial service, and literally could
not articulate without keeping my hand
to my mouth and pulling my lower
lip of my teeth, while bullets from a
concealed sniper whizzed past us. In
the evening water came in enough to
give each one bottle-quite made
auate."

Resolutions Adopted.
Washington, D. c., April 1, 1918.-
The national officers and national di.
rectors of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians in America, in session last
week in Washington, adopted the fol-
lowing at it's closing session:
Resolved, That we congratulate the
order on it's prompt response to the
call for an A. o. H. War Fund. and
to the call for the purchase of Liberty
Bonds, Thrift Stamps, etc.; we con-
graduate the Ladies' Auxiliary on it's
many edifying manifestations of re-
igious and patriotic fervor, especially
that which found expression in the do.
mating of large number of Mass out
fits to the Catholic chaplains of the
army and navy.
These efforts indicate that Hibern-
ians have full realization of the peril
of the great war now in progress-re-
alize that the success of all their en-.
terprises demand the full play of two
factors-intelligent energy and sound.
practical patriotism.
We call upon every State board,
county board, division and individual
in the order to redouble their efforts in
the work of making successful the
Third Liberty Bond issue.
In this war Hibernians have no
doubts, no criticism of our Govern.
ment-have no confusing speculations
nor ill-tfmed illusions as to the policy
endorsing the sentiment: "Our
country-may she always be right
but right OF wrong, our country"
On account Of the international sit,
uation the board was opposed to hold
ing the national convention in San
Francisco this year, but it was de-
cided to leave the question to ref
erendum vote Of the mems divisions of
the order throughout the country.

must find their way to the lips of all.
~ beauty, ever ancient and ever new:
too late have I known Thee, too late
have l loved Thee" In sooth now
that we enjoy the glorious freedom of
the true faith, we look back on those
four centuries from Luther's time to
the great war as for most of us and
our grand sires the ages of abysmal
darkness. Only those who conquered
self, and these were members of the
true faith, walked in the light. But
now the light shines on the teeming
millions. Now we know the real beau.
ties OF the religion of Christ. We can
appreciate the rapture of St. Paul, st.
Augustine, st. Dominic, Saints Fran
els of Assist, Ignatius, and the saints,
confessors, virgins, martyrs, in the
humility of the cross. While it is not
given to all to reach in the world the
transports of bliss reached by those
saints, we at least share some of it in
so far as we deny ourselves for the
sake of Christ.
So, Mr.. Speaker and gentlemen, let
me submit to you the resolution SINH
lar to that already passed in the
House of Parliament Of Canada, Mexi-
co, South America and several Euro
pean countries:-"This Congress in
solemn session does proclaim it's be.
lief in the only true God, and Jesus
Christ His only begotten Son, Whom
He has sent. We proclaim our belief
in the Holy Catholic Church. We &C.
cept without question it's doctrines
and sacraments. We acknowledge
and extend our filial reverence to the
sovereign Pontiff, the Vicar of Christ
upon earth, the infallible guide and
teacher in matters Of faith and morals,
While this embraces all the truths
necessary to salvation, we wish in
special manner to profess our belief
in the Real Presence of Our Divine
Lord and Saviour in the Blessed Sac
rament of the Altar. Furthermore we
implore Our Heavenly Father to grant
us and this nation the gift of perse-
verence in the faith for all time to
come. We beg of the Immaculate
Mother of God, the Angels and saints
in heaven, the souls in Purgatory, and
our brethren on earth to intercede for
us that our faith fail not.
Now that you Mr.. Speaker and
honorable gentlemen have heard the
resolution, would ask you to signify
your approval byte Deum Lauda
mus" cried out one member. In an
instant the House was on its feet.
Swaying with emotion and intense ex-
element they burst forth in this glori-
GUS hymn which made them one with
the early Fathers of the Church."
