LOCAL MAN CITED
FOR BRAVERY
Oscar Harvey Lee of Crellin, Com
mended by Admiral Wilson.

Stories of the heroics deeds of Ameri-
can naval officers and men in rescuing
thirty-four of the seventy-five members
of the crew of the Florence H, an
American munitIon ship which caught
fire and broke in two in French waters
on April 18th last, are told in the report
of Rear Admiral Wilson, commanding
American naval forces in France.
Among those specially commended
for bravery is Oscar Harvey Lee, of
Crellin, this county, who enlisted as a
seaman and was attached to the U. S.
s. Bowman
In his report Admiral Wilson said:
The sea to the leeward of the wreck
was covered by a mass of boxes of
smokeless powder which were repeat
edly exploding and among this wreck
age were survivors. The wreckage
was so thick that small boats were I'M
able to reach these men. The heat
from the burning vessel in the vicinity
was so intense that the converted
yachts present. with wooden upper
works, could not safely penetrate the
wreckage.
Under these conditions Lieutenant
Haislip took his vessel at high speed in
to the midst of the wreckage. at con-
siderable risk of decorating the depth
charges carried on his vessel, and made
lanes thru which the small boats, lower
ed by his and other vessels, could reach
the survivors.
The dash, initiative and courage shown
by Lieutenant Haislip on this occasion
are in accord with the best traditions
of our service and it Is recommended
that he be commended by the navy de-
partment
The French vice admiral commanding
the district, in commencing Lieutenant
Haislip, said he gave proof of a superb
contempt of danger and remarkable
qualities of seamanship.
Admiral Wilson issued a special order
iauding the rescuers, officers and men,
and saying that due to their prompt and
gallant action it appeared that all who
were not killed in the flames of the
Florence H were rescued.

ByroD's Granddaughter
CONVERT TO THE cHuRcH-ALL
POETS LIVING DESCEND
ANTS CATHOLICS.

A noted woman, who a few months
ago became Baroness Wentworth, but
who was better known as Lady Anne
Blunt, wife of Wilfrid Scawen Blunt.
died in Cairo, Egypt, on the 18th of
December. She was the granddaugh-
ter of Lord Byron, daughter of his
child, ada, sole daughter of my
house and heart" by her marriage
with the first Earl of Loyelace. She
married Wilfrid Blunt in 1869, and to-
gether they spent much time travel
ing in Egypt, Arabia, and other parts
of the East. Both were. warm friends
of the Arabs, and BIunt's efforts to
obtain a fair trial for Arab Pasha
will long be remembered. Lady
Blunt published "Bedouin Tribes OF
the Euphrates" and "A Pilgrimage to
Nejd," and translated much from the
Arabic tongue. She was also an art
list of much distinction. She was a
convert to the Catholic Faith, tC
which all Byron's living descendants
belong, as well as those of his sister
Augusta Leigh. She is succeeded as
Baroness Wentworth by her only
child, the wife of Mr.. Neville Lytton

their work. He was great lover
and diligent collector Of books,
all of which he took pains to mas
ter before putting away carefully
on their shelves. Hence he was
Of valuable assistance to Park and
Library Boards, and to dozens of
other boards of which he never
missed a meeting. Above all he
loved children, especially orphan
children, and was tireless IN
his efforts to provide for them, to
amuse and instruct them, and to
win them to God.
These qualities of mind and
heart were so manifest that at his
departure from Minneapolis, and
ON several occasions iii Duluth, his
fellow citizens rendered him the
strongest testimonials of their re-
spect and love. His death has once
more evoked the good testimony
Of all now it is joined with deep
and heartfelt lamentation. In this
dark hour of her bereavement The
Catholic Bulletin begs leave to
associate itself with the Diocese Of
Duluth, and to lay wreath on
the tomb of her beloved first
Bishop.
Seeking neither popularity nor
fame, but the good of his neigh
Dor and the glory of the Catholic
Faith, he was never lost in his
varied activities. They radiated
from his ideal of a priest Of God,
and ever bringing him back to
God, they left him always the
same unassuming, kindly, devout
priest.

ALCOHOL AND BABIES.

Scientific investigations have shown
that parents who habitually drink
large quantities of alcoholic drinks
have babies who show some form
of weakness, says one of the health
bulletins issued by the Bureau of
Public Health Education of the De-
partment of Health of the City of
New York. The baby may have weak
muscles, it may have poor resis-
lance to disease, it may be feeble
minded or even an idiot, it may grow
up to be a drunkard, or criminal
Any of these things may come
about because the baby's father or
mother had the liquor habit. 1t is
hard to believe these things unless
they are backed up by facts, so here
are some of the facts:
In one of the European countries
it was found that when the parents
did not touch liquor, only thirteen out
of every one hundred of their children
died. Parents who drank only small
amounts lost twenty-three out of every
one hundred, and heavy drinkers lost
thirty-two out of every one hundred.
These are the results of parents
using liquor before their children are
born. -. Any weakness which
babies have at birth is later increased
by the presence of alcohol in the
home. If a nursing mother habitually
drinks much beer or whisky her milk
becomes watery and of poor quality
and harmful to the baby.

Duns Scotus An Irishman
TRADITION AND ARGUMENTS
POINT TO NATIONALITY.

In the light of the expectations of
the speedy ending of the Cause of the
Venerable Oliver Plunket, Archbishop
of Armagh, the following item is Of
interest to Celts on the long disputed
point concerning the nationality of
Duns Scotus:
In the work, in French, of the Life,
Doctrine and Disciples of the Blessed
John Duns Scotus,' which has just
come from the pen of Rev. Alexander
Bertoni, Secretary General of the
Order of Friars Minor, notable de-
cision has been come to. After care
full examination of the several opin-
ions regarding the birthplace of the
Doctor Subtilis, Father Bertoni de-
cides in favor of his Irish nationality.
The author gives a list of the prin-
cipal commentators and followers of
the doctrine of Scotus. Many Irish
authors are among them, and their
number clearly indicates, according to
Father Bertoni, a tradition in Ireland
at to the birthplace of Scotus.

A MOTHERS PRAYER.

Somewhere across the infested sea,
Serving the cause of Liberty,
Dear Lord, is my brave son.
/ know not how he fares tonight,
But keep him ever in Thy sight,
For / have but the one.
Thou gavest two to bless my life,
But one fell early in the strife
My first-begotten son!
He with his comrades marched away,
And then a message came one day
Dear Lord, have but one!
Then, while so sorrowed and bereft,
Though only he to me was left,
could not say him nay,
Who urged that duty babe him 60
His country called, he said, and so
How could I bid him stay?
But, 0 dear Lord, it's hard to bear,
With not another child to share
The hearth when day is done!
/ can but kneel to Thee and pray;
Be with him through the hellish fray
And keep Thou safe my son!
/ know the cause is good and true
know the suffering must ensue
Before the fight is won.
Yet bear with me, 0 Lord, this
night;
he Thou my solace in my plight
And guard my only son.

COMPROMISE AND PRIN-
CIPLE.

Perhaps the most successful man
is he who makes fewest comprom-
lses, who is able to persevere in
his own purposes and keep faith
with his own soul amid the con-
f1ict OF interest and opinions that
constantly assail him, observes an
exchange. We take it too much
Tor granted that dreams and ideals
under which vague terms we
classify all our best thoughts and
bravest hopes and most unselfsh
aspirations -are idle visions and
brief ardors of youth, fragile and
transient fancies that dissol e at
the touch of experience. And in
deed it is hard enough in the dust
of the days business to keep a
pathway clear and clean for any
dreams to walk in.
Contact with the actual is not
SO much notwithstanding as confus-
ing. In the barter of one COM
modify for another which is the
common occupation of life, good
seems SO mixed with evil and evil
with good, principle with policy
and policy with principle, that I'M
less the mind is kept free from
sophistries, and unless the inner
vision holds unobscured those
weaving lights which are given to
guide us all, choice becomes more
and more a matter of surrender.
No man can escape compromise
with his ideals; but certainly he is
most failure whose compromises
are so many that last he has no
ideal standards for the measure
ment Of his practical judgments.
