The descendants of the compa-
triots of Washington and Paul Jones
are fighting once again side by side
with the descendants of the compa-
triots of Lafayette and Rocham-
beau. The time and opportunity
have come for a nation to pay a
great debt of gratitude for service
rendered in great national need and
America is paying France the debt
she long has owed.
In the Revolutionary War for the
freedom of America the French
fought on American soil under the
command of an American. Today in
the war for the freedom of France
and for the preservation of liberty
to America, and indeed to all the
world, Americans fight on French
soil under the supreme command Of
Frenchman. The honors are even
and the honors are great.
No true American who knows the
history Of this country and loves
the honor of his country but thrills
at the thought of the American
Army in France. The invineible

NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN TO
SAFEGUARD BABIES LIVES

thousand babies is the inspiration
for a nation wide campaign organ
lied by the Federal Children's Blu
reau and the Child Welfare Com
mittee of the Council of National
Defense. Believing that the civilian
population has no greater patriotic
duty than the safeguarding of the
nations children, the directors of
the campaign inaugurated a Chill
dren's Year on April 9th, the first
anniversary of the United States
entrance into the war.
Carefully prepared statistics
prove that three hundred thousand
American children under five years
of age die each year and that last
year fifteen thousand mothers died
needlessly. The purpose Of the
campaign is to counteract such
ruthless sacrifice and to give every
mother and baby fair chance at
life and health. Authorities agree
that one-half of the deaths of in
fants and most of the deaths of
mothers are easily preventable.
This year, Notwithstanding the
withdrawal of many doctors and
nurses for war service, it is believ-
ed that large proportion of moth
ers and babies may be saved. Thus
while abroad war and death are
reaping vast harvests, on a huge
scale at home the United States is
pledged to the conservation and
protection of human life.
The first feature of the cam
paign will be a national weighing
and measuring contest. Every child
under the age of five i'll the United
States will be weighed and meas
ured; records of the results will be
reported in order to determine what
endeavOrs must be made in every
locality to conserve the child life
there. Examinations for the draft
have resulted in numerous reflections
for physical defects which might
have been remedied in infancy or
early childhood. The weighing and
measuring contest will indicate
what the children of the country
need if the men of the rising gen
GRAFTON are to be free from the
physical defects which the draft
has revealed. Il
Kentucky is challenged to- 4 heroic
effort in this crusade against the
death and suffering of the nations
children. Every community in the
state is participating in the cam
paign by helping to save its own
babies: Upon the work of every
community the cooperation of its
nurses. mothers, physicians, its
humane individuals and organiza-
tons, depends the success of the
movement. $780,. "
Four years of generous aid the
men and women of America have
given to French and Belgian chill
dren, still so urgently in need; the
assistance accorded those trans At
lantic babies is a guarantee of what
will be done to make the Children's
Year in the United States a success
"a new era in the conservation of
child life and the protection of
motherhood - those foundation
stones to national health and pros
perity.

AZ, Be soIicitous about nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanks giving, let your petitions be made known to God
 At this mass, and at the two masses following, circular letter from Bishop John Joseph Milan was read, directing attention to the fact that the presi- dent of the United States has sum moned the entire American people to membership in the American Red Cross.

this great humanitarian organization in behalf or Americas soldiers, sail DTS, the families of enlisted men, and the civilian population in the deVast- ed countries of Europe.
 Now that the war has ceased much of the relief work undertaken by the American Red Cross is to be taken over Fby government agencies in the various countries involved in the ter rible conflict, Bishop Milan wrote, and there will be no further campaigns for large war funds; hut as the work of the American Red Cross must continue in times of peace, it .is essential that it have the support of the entire American people. Sufficient funds VIII be insured in case each person In the country contributes the modest sum of one dollar.
 Since the work of this great society is established on basis of mutual aid and cooperation, it is not merely a charity organization for the relief of humanity, but rather an association of the American people for their mu- tual protection and the service they wish to render to each other in time of distress. Each as an act of per sonal thanksgiving to the Divine Providence who has brought us so Qd1SAIy lA10u5I d l6EIlQl6 CIlStS dlld preserved us from greater evils owes such an offering to God. and Bishop Milan expresses confidence that the clergy will co-eperate in every way in making the enrolment a success, so that Connecticut may reach it's pro- porti6nate quota of million and a quarter members out of total of one hundred millions. What more ,ac- ceptable ygife can be made to God by the American people as a nation than this universal contribution to the cause of humanity and mercy?" asks the bishop.
