ington to pay any man.
1t Is reported as certain President
Wilson, who has accepted the resig-
nation. will name two men rather
than ono to fill the vacancies, which
are the most important offices in the
Presidents gift. 1t is understood the
President has not decided on any one
for either place, and Mr.. McAdoo says
he has no idea who his successor
will be.
While some think Mr.. McAdoo may
be preparing to run for President in
1920. the reasons he gives for resign
ing-necessity for earning an ade-
quate income and consideration for
his health-n-e generally accepted.
Mr.. McAfoo expects to be relieved
about January 1, but will remain un-
til his SUCCESSORS take charge. He
will then take vacation of about
three months before returning to New
York. 1t is understood to practice law
He says he has nothing Immediately
in view but the practice q law. but
1t is predicted that before night his
desk will be loaded down with tele-
graphs offers of big Jobs paying num-
1cent salaries.

ONION. Nov. 23:--Pitiable con-
ditions among British prisoners OF
war who have been liberated by the
Germans since the signing OF the ar
mistice are described by Reuters cor
rasnondent at French headquarters
The correspondent writes:
"I have never seen human beingf
I'm such a state OF raggedness' munger
and misery. When the camp at for-
bach, thirty y-eight miles east OF Metz
as.well as those elsewhere were prok-
en- up. prisoners, most OF wnom were
captured during the March onensive,
were told to clear out and seek help
from their allies. They started to
walk the fifty or sixty miles to the
allied lines, but were given no food
and had no money. They were IN
Tshameful rags. the soles dropping on
their boots. Some wore clogs and no
socks.
''They left the prison camps In
droves of hundreds in charge OF Ger
man officers and soldiers who had
deserted. The weather was very cold
and many died by the roadside with
in a few miles of friends. When the
survivors entered the French lines
hardened war heroes were Mortified
to see men in such plight. 1t Is not
doubted that this suffering was inten-
tionalIy imposed on the prisoners.
Prisoners of other nationalities be-
lieve that the British were treated
worse than all others at German
camps"
A further report by Sir Robert
Younger's committee dealing with the
treatment OF British prisoners in the
coal and salt mines of Germany gives
horrible details of brutal treatmeAt
by the Germans. This report says:
From testimony scarcely a month
old 1t Is evident that there is no sign
of improvement whatever in the
treatment of prisoners in Germany.
This disgrace is open and fragrant and
the only possible inference is that
Berlin deliberately approves of 1t.
There is no doubt that work f. the
mines is inflicted as punishment.
Here is an extract from letter dated
May 20 last from a British private
soldier:
"We have had little to eat since we
left Hamlen. Two of our number
have gone to the hospital with brok-
en- arms and the remainder are suf-
fering from cuts on their heads and
bruises from the result of floggings
they received at the last place. fell
in q faint, unable to work any longer
lsat Saturday. and the man in charge,
O civilian, kicked me back into my
senses and kept me down In the mine
sixteen hours after all my gang had
gone up. If you could only see the
boys here! They look like dead men.
They are worked to DEATH"
The record Of daily promiscuous
violence might be much further Illus
trated. To scores of men who have
sgiyen evidence concerning the mining
camps, kicks, blows and insults be-
came a part of the normal routine.

NAMING ALASKA.

The name Alaska is an English cor
ruption of perversion of Alayeksa, as
it was called by the aboriginal inhab-
itants Of the Aleutian islands, lying
to the westward, observes a geograph-
ical magazine. When the Russians
first came to one of the Aleutian
islands, they were told that a vast
country laystb the eastward, and that
it's name was Alayeksa. The Aleuts
called their own island Nagun Alay-
eksa, meaning the land lying near
AlaYeksa BY a process of Russian
ling and Anglicizing Alayeksa became
Alaska, and Nagun-Alayeksa became
Unalaska The original Aleutian word
.Alayeksa meant the great country"
as the. inhabitants of scattered islands
would naturally consider a vast CON
tinental region Of varied resources
and beautiful scenery as Alayeksa OR
Alaska has since proved to be.

KISSING THE BLACK STONE.

AS well die a Jew or a Christian as
not make the pilgrimage to Mecca,
said Mohammed, and no obligation Of
Islam is more piously discharged. 1t
is believed that the ritual connected
with the visit to the Ka'aba-the
square building the kissing of
the black stone go back to days Of
idolatory, the time of ignorance" be-
fore the new faith bloomed. ~
The black stone, which measures
about six inches. by eight, is believed
to have fallen from paradise, to have
been guarded during the deluge and
handed to Abraham by Gabriel when
the Ka'aba was built: Certain parts
of the ceremonial the throwing of
stones at the devil and the imitation
of Hagar's distracted wanderings in
the desert are supposed to have had
significance for the pre-M ohammedan
times as well as for Islam.

HOW PINS ARE MADE.

Modern pins are made from both
brass and iron wire, but the best
grade. are of brass. This brass wire
is an alloy of copper and spelter. The
copper and spelter are first melted
together in crucible and run into a
mould in the form of a bolt or rod
about two inches in diameter and
four to six feet in length. The bolt is
put through a series of heavy. steel
rolls and reduced gradually to about
one-half inch or less in diameter,
after which it is put on a block and
drawn through dies of various sizes
until reduced to the size desired,
when it is made up into small coils
ready fo4 delivery.
The material for the pins comes to
the factory either in carloads of these
coils, ready to. use, or it, comes as the
raw copper and spelter when the fac
tory does its own alloying,

MORNINGS SONG cHALIcE.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
DR.. James Henderson,

Morning in a chalice kept mead of
wildwood song,
And all the birds came to it at dawn,
a questing throng;
And. when the deWs we're heavy on
hill or in the vale
The first glad notes broke plaintively
like keening of the Gael;
Then all the waking forest was lit, it
seemed, with JOY,
For each nectared throat was lifting
and, never one to cloy
AS note on note ran down the scale
like liquid, silver spray
Upon a stream alight with love, to
glorify the day.
o mornings silver chalice! how /
fancied I could see
At daylight, as I sought the kline and
in each forest tree,
AS blown from silver throats the
notes, and, sounding down the
glen
The birdsong warbling sweetly, so
sweet l dare not pen;
Then all the wales, alight, would seem
to echo and resound,
And limpid deWs were shaking from
each bush, upon the ground .
Wherever feather'd wing had stirred
the fronds to life,
And all the wood woke merrily with
melody so rife.
like flute notes sang the robin there,
2 = i the lark was winging high
The cuckoo in the tangle called, the
thrush-note sounded nigh.
o God! were fairer vision ever
deigned, or fairer landscape
= shown,
Than to the little barefoot boy that
drove the cattle home?

Boys, when you speak of your ia
Their don't call him. the old man" OF

you were taught to call him father.
You are much smarter than you were
then, you are much. more manly look
ing, your clothes fit you better, your
hat has q modern shape aid your hair
is comhed differently. In short, flyer
than you were then, Your father
has a last years coat, a two-year-old
hat, and a vest Of still older pattern.
He can't write such an elegant note
as you can and all that, but don't call
him the old man." Call him father.
For years he has been bustling around
to get things together. He has been
held to the thorRy path of uphill in
dustry and the brightest half of life
has gone from him forever But he
loves you, though he goes along With
out saying much about it. Therefore
be not ungrateful.
