LEAGUE OF NATIONS
FAVORED BY HOLY FATHER, SAYS
MGR. FAY-PoNTIFF DESIRES
END OF ALL WAR. asft....

Pope Benedict is an advocate of a
league of nations so constructed as to
prevent the possibility of future wars,
Mgr. Sigourney Fay declared in New
York in an address before the League
for Political Education, outlining the
features of recent conversation he
had with the Pontiff. Mgr. Fay re-
Gently returned from Europe, whittier
he had gone as representative of Car
dinal Gibbons on mission with the
American Red Cross.
The Pope, Mgr. Fay said, favors the
creation of the league of nations, of a
court of international appeals, with CO
erciye power to enforce it's decisions,
and favors disarmament of nations to
such an extent that none would dare
to start war.
Speaking as a domestic prelate to
the Pope and members of his official
family, but not, as he expressly stated
for the Pontiff, Mgr. Fay urged that
the Pope should have "a voice in the
guaranteeing of lasting peace"
This could be accomplished, he said
not necessarily through the Pontiff'S
attendance as delegate at the Peace
Conference, but by representation ir
any manner that the conferees Nigh
decide. The Pope had planned earl!
in the war, the prelate said, to exer
his influence with Austria against tn,

A MISSIONARY TREE
ST. CHARLES MISSION REOPEN
ED-A CHRISTMAS TREE NEXT
MONDAY - AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR ALL.

A tree and missionary may seem
to have little in common; yet "a mis-
sionary tree" will prove to be a real
ity in Minneapolis as in other places.
The magnetic evergreen, laden with
tinsel and toys, gay with colored
lights, red berries, stringed popcorn,
heavy with bullying bags of candies,
nuts and fruits, sheltering beneath it's
wide boughs the less snowy but more
substantial gifts of food and clothing
mittens, caps, shoes-this is the vision
that has power at Christmas time to
draw from cherries street and squalid
alley and wretched fiat the boys and
girls of the neighborhood. And this is
the vision that the city missionary of
Minneapolis will conjure into a real
ity next Monday afternoon for a hun
dred and fifty children of South Min
neapolis.
Sunday, December 8, st. Charles
Mission at 40 Cedar Avenue, was re-
opened. Ninety children enrolled in
the classes of Christian Doctrine, Sew
ing and Knitting. This is about half
the number of boys and girls in the
neighborhood who need the influence
of st. Charles Mission and the direc-
ton of the city missionary. Let the
other half run the streets with no re-
ligious or moral guide and in ten years
the majority of them will have lost
their faith altogether, many will have
become imbued with destructive and
socialistic notions, and some will have
fallen into the criminal classes.
They are but twigs now, easily train
ed for good or bad. The city mission
airy wants them, every one of them;
he knows we'll that society needs all
of them, and that each young soul is
precious beyond compare. Can he get
a hold on them? Can he influence
them? Can he train them?
Every Catholic in Minneapolis can
help to answer these questions. The
priest may have the zeal of Xavier and
the eloquence of st. Paul, but he can
not train those children if he can not
first attract them. 1t is by means of
the Christmas tree, the play hour, the
entertaining story, and then by the
sewing and knitting classes and the
gymnasium work that the children can
be attracted into the mission of st.
| Charles.
| Contributions-mon toys, candy,
articles of clothing-may be sent to
the city missionary at 1923 Laurel
Avenue, Minneapolis.

HOW ABOUT IRELAND

Freedom for all is the watchword; self
government shines like a star,
The people are having their inning;
that's one of the fruits of the
war;
And a lot of unheard-of, strange coun-
tries will score if the Allies
should win,
They'll don the rich garb of new ma
lions, but where will old Ireland
3 come in?
The Slovaks will stand proud as ever
an Austrian state did of yore,
The Czechs will line up as contenders,
when ceased has the wars
mighty roar,
And Finland and Poland and others,
now prone under hoofs far from
If thin,
Will shake off the heel of the tyrant7
but where does old Ireland
come? M
The black men who live on the
GangeS, lar OH III TelnoIe f1ln
dostan,
Will rule their own soil, for which
/ Britain is said to be drawing a
plan;
And the Serbs and the Russ and the
Ukraines, now darkened by Ger
many's sin,
Will measure to stature of freemen
| but where does old Ireland come
in?

and you're wanting brave mel
fit to die,
Say, who are the boys who come run

the conflict left the Central Powers in

Asked by one of the audience if he
opposed turning over of Palestine to
the Jews, the clergyman stated that he
did not, because every promise made
by the Allies must be kept" His atti-
tude in regard to Palestine, he said,
was that moral law should prevail.

Der of selective service men in camp

to Glass /. so that on September i,
we will still ave somewhat more than
1900. 900 qualified men In Class / who
will not have been called TO camp.
Before these men are called to ser
vice IT is expected Congress will
amend the draft law to provide for
the registration OF men between Is
and 81 and between 81 and As.
Just hoy many men this e~xtention
of the draft would bring into Class /
is uncertain. but 1t is expected that
the number would equal those be-
tween 21 and 81. At least 5000. 900
Glass 1 men would be added. IL is rea-
sonably certain. Although the per-
centage OF deferred c~lassihcations
among men from 81 to IS would be
greater than h present average be-
cause of family dependency and indus
trial grounds. the PERCENTAGE OF those
from is to 81 would be higher than
the average. because these men would
In few cases have established family
ties.
This extension OF the draft. then.
would provide a total Class 1 of more
than 100000 men-probably nearer
1000. 900.
And until Glass 1 is exhausted, no
calls Will be made upon deferred
classes for any fighting troops.
When Glass / in any district is ex-
hausted no more calls will be made
upon that district for eombatant
troops so long as there is a Class /
man available In any district any
where In the country.
For CERTAIN NON-COMBATANT

or skill are required. and such men
are not 10 be found among Class ! reg-
istrants. then-and only then-are the
deferred classes called upon. The
number OF these specialists taken
from deferred classes a ben very
small.
There is 90 be a thorough recomb-
ing OF the deferred classes. and some
persons who were granted elassinca-

themselves ~reclassihed In Class I and

Sailor Invents Fire Eseaps.

One Of the boys aboard our navy's
fleet has invented a fire escape which
is similar to the rope ladders used
aboard ships. His principal object
was to provide a collapsible fire es-
cape which could be compactly and
conveniently arranged at the window
OF a dwelling. II consists Of a con-
tainer hinged to the sill in such q
manner that by opening the window
and folding the container on It's hinge
the metal ladder may be unfOlded
and dropped. When this operation is
gone through. a means is nutomar-
ically provided whereby the ladder is
held ut a distance from the walls of
the building. The advantage of such
precaution is obvious.

There need be no immediate anxiety
on the part OF these men or their rel
atives. No call affecting Glass II men
will be made this year. No call for
