FATHER AT WAR,
TRAGEDY AT HOME
Just What Home Service Means
to a Soldier.

The father kisses his wife and kid
dies goodby, shoulders his gun and
marches away to war.
For time the current of life flows
smoothly for the soldiers little fami-
ly. Then comes the tragedy. Mother
is taken ill. The little brood of broth
ers and sisters is1heIpless. No father
to turn to. A helpless mother
To whom can the American soldiers
family look at this critical period
Must a brave mans loyalty to his
country mean desolation and suffering
TO those nearest and dearest to him9
MOI Emphatically mol The Ameri-
can people will not permit the fami-
lies of their soldiers and sailors to
suffer because their breadwinners are
fighting for their country. And so the
Red Cross Department of Civilian Re
lief has created a nationwide organ
ization for home service for the fami-
lies of soldiers and sailors.
Under the banner of Home Serv-
ice" patriotic men and women have
enrolled and are devoting themselves
TO the noble task of helping soldiers
families to meet and adjust the prob
lens of everyday life and aiding them
to maintain the standards of health,
education and industry.
Home Service-True Service.
Home service means keeping the SOL
dier's children, well and in school 1t
means tiding the family over financial
troubles, arranging the household
budget, meeting insurance premiums,
adjusting a mortgage, bringing med
ical aid and legal advice to bear at the
right moment In short Home Serv-
ice is true service, in that it provides
the warm handclasp of friendship
rather than the humiliation of charity.
1t calls for sympathetic understanding
and intelligent consideration of the
most vital needs of the soldiers family.
The Red Cross is pledged to 'sHome
Service" wherever needed in the Unit
ed States In each chapter of the Red
Cross there will be a home service
section, under competent hands. whose
mission will be to protect the welfare
of the soldiers and sailors homes and
to safeguard the normal development
of their families in employment and In
ideals of self help and self reliance.

This is the picture / saw last Janu-
airy in France.-and you have merci-
fully changed it! Color enough there
was-above, the eternal blue; in the
background, fields of living green,
which the German shells could not
prevent from creeping back; in the
middle foreground, a long village
street so battered and burned that
it was merely a canyon of cream-cOl-
ored ruins. In front OF one little
broken house were four figures in
black-an old woman, poking among
the fallen stones in a vain search for
something that could be used; a
younger woman, seated on what had
once been doorstep, with her face
hidden in her arms and a little boy
and girl, who stared, half frightened,
half curious, at the desolation about
them. The little boy held in his thin
hand Red Cross flag. All four were
pale and gaunt; the faces and bodies
of the children showed none of the
round curves that make the beauty of
a child.
This is their history: When the
war broke out, Nine. Pellier, her
mother and her four younger children
were visiting her husbands mother in
the north of France Her husband
and two elder sons were at home in
Lorraine taking care of the summer
crops. Then the war! The mother
in-law of Nine. PeIlier was Ill and
could not be left Her old mother
was afraid to travel TO Lorraine with
the full care of the four children. Be
fore they could all start together the
Germans invaded Bad news is allo "
ed to come into northern France, and
so as the months passed Nine PeIlier
learned that her village home had been
bombarded and that her husband and
two sons had been killed Except for
the Belgian Relief Commission. which
operates in northern France also, she
and her little ones would have starved
outright At the best they were un-
dernourished. Then the great push
began, and hopes for France grew
high. But as the French soldiers adj
vanced they had to lombard the north
ern towns. Nine. Pellier begged the
Germans to let her go away with her
children-even into Germany. This
was refused She tried to seek safety
In some cellar whenever there was
bombardment. Nevertheless a shell
killed two of her children.
Found Her Home Gone.
Home gone; husband gone; brave
soldier sons gone; little, tender boys
torn into shreds! That woman's face
would have shown you what she had
suffered-her face against the batter
ed ruins the Germans had made. At
last she and her mother and her two
remaining children were repatriated.
They knew the infinite relief of cross

ARCHBISHOP JOHN IRELAND DIED THIS MORNING AFTER LONG ILLNESS

St. Paul, Minn.; Sept. 25.-Arch- bishop John Ireland died at 3:55 this morning after a long illness. He was 80 years old.
 The archbishop was in frail health for a year. Until fall, he took a prominent part in patriotic activities and his physicians at that time at tributed his break down to over work.
 John Ireland, Archbishop of St. Paul, was one of the most distinguish ed of the Roman Catholic churchmen of America. There were few fields of intellectual, political or spiritual endeavor in which he failed to take a positive stand.
 Born in 1888 in Ireland, a carpen- ter's son, he was carried with his pa rents in the tide of Irish immigration to America while he was a child. Altar service at Burlington, Vt, and a jolting trip west on prairie schooner were among his boyhood memories, bringing him finally to St. Paul, Minn., in 1852, when In dians in gay blankets stalked the streets of that frontier town. One ev- ening, the missionary Cretin, first Bishop of St. Paul, while watching from his window some boys of his parish at play, called to John Ireland, and Thomas O'Gorman - who later became bishop of Sioux Falls-to come into the church. He asked them if they wished to become priests. Both he and his playmate agreed that priesthood was their ambition. Bish- op Cretin sent them, in charge of a guardian, to France, where they were educated by the Marist Fathers. When he heard of the outbreak of the Civil War in America the student turned homeward, fired with as much pa triotism as religion.
 After being ordained at St. Paul he eagerly accepted an appointment as chaplain in the Fifth Regiment of the Minnesota Volunteers.
 He was ardent for the Unionist cause and shared every hardship of the soldiers life in their terrible win ter raids. At Iuka he gave yeoman's help by rushing ammunition to the front when it was sorely needed He was stricken with fever after less than

THE WEATHER.

New Haven, Sept. 25-For New Haven and vicinity: Partly cloudy tonight and Thursday; slightly warmer tonight.
 For Connecticut: Partly cloudy tonight and Thursday slightly warmer tonight; gentle to moder- atc winds mostly northeast and east.
 Weather conditions: A disturb ance central over Ontario is causing cloudy weather with local rains in the lake region and New England, The western disturb ance has moved but little during the last 24 hours and is still cen- traI over Nebraska. It is causing cloudy and showery weather in the western districts. Another disturbance is central over the east. The temperature continues slightly above the normal along the northern border.
 Condition favor for this vicin- ity partly cloudy weather and not much change in temperature.

a years service and returned to St. Paul pastorate.
 lie soon attracted national attention through his work for temperance. In 1869, St. Paul was filled with border turbulence and the riot of drink. Father Ireland began a campaign by organizing a Temperance Society of eighty members. The work he thus began he extended throughout the Northwest and travelled the whole country preaching temperance. He even carried the battle back to Ire land and Great Britain.
 He at one time conceived the idea of consolidating the Catholic paro- chiaI schools and the public schools. The plan was tried at Fairabault and Saltwater, Minn., but friction which the archbishop could not relieve arose and the scheme was dropped. He was founder of the Hill seminary on the Minnesota side of the Mississippi river. To this he gave his highly prized private library, one of the most comprehensive in the Northwest. One of his early works was the founding of a colony of 800 Catholic farmers in western Minnesota in 1876.
 He became Bishop in 1875 and Archbishop in 1886 He received support from many of his admirers for appointment as the fourth Amer ican Cardinal. Celebrating his gold en jubilee a few years ago, the priests of his diocese presented him with a purse of $100,00O.
 As a speaker Archbishop Ireland was direct and magnetic, with a sense of humor. One of the phrases which has often been quoted as characteris- tic of his particular endeavor in life is this:
 "The watchwords of the age are reason, education, liberty, the ame- Iteration of the masses"
