heart to lower depths of woe and
sorrow, because of added millions
of man-forced deaths and graves
upon the battle fields Of Europe.

prussian king foully strives to
make his dream of a German
world-enpire come true.
While our free sons and
brothersfresist and beat back the

Mrs. Smith a present of a pair Il
shoes last Christmas; but appa~-
emily had a change of heart tits
morning early and went up to
Mrs. Smith to get EN- back.
She denied him admittanse tc

one shoe belonging to Mrs. Smith
and another belonging to Mar
garet Drlscoll, and both for the
same foot at that!
He'll have to explain it at mead
quarters today.

Says War Relief Work
=: Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangeline Booth, lead.
err Of the Salvation Army in the Unit.

upon to furnish 800 additional war
work women for France The request
is contained in a report Just received
by her from Col. Williams'A. Barker
Of the Salvationist forces, whom she
sent to France over year ago to es-
!tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops.
1--WE will do all We can to fill this
demand. said Commander Booth when
); discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, "and the need
itself should impress the American
public oil the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and enlarging
the. war relief work Of the seven or
CARNATIONS, besides the noble Red
Cross, now merged for drive for
funds. Each is vital cog In vast
machine for human relief, and each IL
indispensable, serving its particular
elements in its own way.

hardship, reared In privation and
trained to every phase OF human mis-.

that accounts in some degree for the
! success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful. #

they would like to do for their men II
they but had the chance. 1

the fruit of life lovingly devoted to
the Heavenly Father.
Esau's Unfitness
While we cannot condemn the ac-
ton of Rebekah and Jacob in strong
enough terms we have no pity to
waste on Esau. He was not fit to be a
great leader. He lacked the power to
steady application. He was careless
of his birthright. He had married
two Hittite young women who were
bound to be hindrance to him in
any feeble effort he might be expect
ed to make to sustain the worship of
Jehovah. In spite of all this our
hearts are touched by the bitter wall
Hast thou but one blessing, my
father? bless, me, even me also, o my
father
Having failed to deserve blessing
careless OF the good things of life, I'M
willing to shoulder the work of devo-
ton to worthful ideals shall we wall
in our anguish and then turn muir
derer, as Esau did in his heart, when
we miss the blessing? Shall we not
rather by loyalty to truth as it is in
Jesus Christ build up character that
shall not perjure itself in wiilfulness
as did Jacobs, nor lose itself in weak
ness as did Esau's. Speak We truth
each one with his neighbor.'

CATHOLIC BOYS JOIN
war WORK CAMPAIGN
Girls, Too, Will Stand With Them
Behind Every Fighter
at the Front. q. r

To put behind every Catholic fighter
in France the support Of one boy or
girl in every parish throughout the
United States Is the plan of the Ma
tional Catholic War Council for back
ing the Victory Boys and Victory
Girls Earn and Give" Division Of the
United Work War Campaign to raise
$17O, 100000 "for the boys over there"
during the week Of November Ills
Through diocesan, county and parish
organizations, the rallying of one
yOungster for every man who has gone
to war in every community is already
under way. BY their own earnings,
and not by contributions, it is expect
ed that these sturdy little sponsors
for the boys abroad will each raise at
least five dollars for the joint well
fare work Of the Y. NJ. c. A., Y. w.
C. A., National Catholic War Coun-
Gil, including the Knights Of Column
bus, War Camp Community Service,
Jewish Welfare Board, American Ii
brary Association and Salvation Army.
Boys and girls in every Catholic
parish throughout the United States
are already being picked to represent
each fighting man who has left their
church for the front. In every home
that flies a service flag little brothers
and sisters, sons and daughters, are
eagerly volunteering to look out for
the share Of their family fighter in the
huge joint welfare campaign for all
the boys abroad.

"It Is an American campaign" he
said. "Its appeal is one that no
