The Archbishop calls attention to
the fact that on September %. 1915.

verbal acknowledgment. and continues:
We have fought without hatred and.

CRIME wrought against humanity and

with its irreparable agony and cruelty
was let loose in Europe.
Cannot Ignore Savagery
Nor can we possibly ignore the
savagery which the German High
Command displayed in carrying on the
war. Outrages in Belgium in the
early months, and, indeed, ever since;

wrought in France, including the in

DON'T BE TOO
QUICK TO CENSURE

1t has been rumored that one Of

sured for her Task of interest in meas
ures pertaining to the war, namely,
the buying of Liberty Bonds, War
Savings certificates and donations or
subscriptions to the Red Cross. In

took it upon himself to make some in
vestigation and found conditions al
together different from waht they had
been pictured. Instead of making a
great display over her work this lady
has always been Industrious in her eff
forts to keep the work she does a
secret, and it cannot be said Of her
that her donations to the poor and
assistance to charitable institutions,
churches and various organizations
has been for the glory she expected to
derive from it, or for advertising pur-
poses. It develops that this good
lady now has purchased Liberty
Bonds; she has paid the membership
of twenty-five persons in Greene and
other counties to the Red Cross, thus
enabling those who were unable to
join to become members. Not only
this, but she has assisted in every
movement Of a like nature, much in
the same manner.
We make this mention and call at
tention to these facts, in justice to
this lady merchant, who certainly
should not be made to suffer on ac-
count of erroneous and false reports
that are being circulated against her,
and which are calculated to place her
in a wrong light before the people,
among whom she has lived these many
years, and whose loyalty and deeds
