The "drys" OF Marinette county have
succeeded in getting enough sigma
lures To a petition 10 cause an election
on the wet and dry" question next
April. IL was rumored. after Michigan
went dry. that Marinette would seek a
decision upon the question. The rea-
son given for the desire to put the
question TO vote was that Marinette
county didn't want the "drunks from
Michigan" dumped upon her.
There was some talk of Florence
county taking vote also. but that
proposition has evidently gone by the
board. as there is no effort being made
there, so far.

NAY CHANGE AGE LIMIT.

Discussing enlargement of the age
lint for selective military service,
Provost Marshal General Crozier,
said;
"A proounced majority OF the boards
favor some enlargement, but there is
great diversity OF opinion as To the
proper age limit. Nineteen and 80 are
perhaps the limits most frequently
suggested; but some recommend 40 or
As years as the upper limit There IL
a distinctly stronger demand for
raising the maximum age than for
lowering the minimum"
Gen. Crozier estimates that 1888
acceptable single men would be made
available by an increase in the age
limit 70 include up TO As years. The
estimate places the number of accept
able single men between is and 81
years at 1,546,2S3 The number Of
probably acceptable single men al

should the age limit be enlarged TO
include men Of from Is years to 40
years, inclusive, 4,2575l6 physically

MYTH ABOUT ALLEGED DESERT.
ERS OF SO-CALLED IRISH
COMMAND.

In a correspondence to America
of February %, we read the follow
ing: when thirteen negro soldiers
were hanged for mutiny at San An
tonic recently, the Associated Press
sent out a statement from Washington
that there was no precedent in the
annals of the United States Army for
such an execution of mutineers save
one case of the members of st. Pat
rick's Battalion who had deserted to
the Mexicans at Chapultepec, and hav-
ing been captured by General SCOTS
soldiers were shot by his orders. |
sent to Washington for the official
data of this Chapultepec case, and
Adjutant General Mccain answered
with the statement that a search of
the official records had been made
several times and nothing had been
found concerning the st. Patricks
Battalion episode He said he re-
garded it as a myth, and that various
persons had tried in years past to find
something authoritative about 1T but
without success. THE inferential
Islander of the statement and the
malice of it's origfnators, who have
sent it broadcast on several recent
occasions, are perfectly obvious.

AN IRISH DILEMMA
IRISH CATHOLICS FINED FOR MO-
TORING TO MASS.

One of those pieces of English stu
pidity, if not worse, which so annoy
the quick Irish intelligence, is being
perpetrated today with an increasing
effect of irritation in the Green Isle.
Under one of the many restrictions
introduced by the War Department is
that which forbids the use of motor
cars for pleasure, and imposes a fine
on any one disobeying this injunc-
ton.
A series Of prosecutions has been
commenced in Ireland against the
Catholic owners of motOr-cars for
using them to convey their families
and others to Mass on Sunday, and
fines have been imposed. AS the in
dignant owners point out, this is not
a pleasure jaunt, but journey of
duty rendered necessary under Spir-
itual penalties. A man who uses his
car to go to the criminal courts is
under no penalty, but a man who uses
his car to go to Mass is liable to fines
and imprisonment, and generally gets
an infliction of the former penalty.
An agitation is being started to get
this unjust edict repealed.

coined by the priests in the foreign
field. The individual monthly allow
ance, which the Society for the Prop
agation of the Faith is able to give
from it's general fund, is in most in
stances pitiably small. Many of our
missionary priests are struggling on

they be assured of a decent existence,

would they be able to intensity and

REV. DR.. QUINN DEAD
HE WAS EMINENT SAVANT AND
GREEK ScHoLAR-FoR SEVER.
AL YEARS PRESIDENT OF
LEONlNE COLLEGE, ATHENS.

Rev. Daniel Quinn, PHI. D., pastor of
st. Vincent de Paul Church, Cincin-
natl, died Monday night, March 8, of
heart disease at st. Mary's Hospital,
where he had been patient three
weeks.
Rev. DR.. Quinn, who was Sc years
old, had been ailing one year, but only
recently was induced to give up his
pastoral duties and scholarly re-
searches to enter the hospital.
Practically his whole life had been
devoted to the study of Greek phi
lology and archaeology, and he was
widely known as an author on Greek
subjects and as one of the most &C
complished Greek scholars and gram
marians in the United States. His
health interrupted the completion of
a Greek dictionary upon which he
was at work, and also a Greek gram
mar which was nearing completion.
Rev. DR.. Quinn was born at Yellow
Springs, Ohio, and received his early
education there. His classical stud
les he made at Mt. ST. Mary College,
EmmltSburg, Md. He was ordained
at Cincinnati, July 26, 1887, by Arch
bishop Elder.
Later he Travelled extensively
abroad, taking courses of study at
Berlin and Athens, Greece. He re-
ceived his degree of Doctor of Phi
lology at the University of Athens.
For several years he was President
of the Leonine College, Athens. He
spent nine years in research work in
Greece, travelling on foot over the
whole country. He collected material
which was published in various maya
zines and later in book form. Among
his considerable number of works
was the "Helladian Distas." He was
professor of Greek five years at the
Catholic University of America, at
| Washington, D. c..

MILITARY SAINTS
CATHOLIC SOLDIERS HAVE MANY
TO INITIATE OR TO INVOKE
AS INTERCESSORS.

Of the Catholic soldiers who make
up so large a portion of our Ameri-
can forces it may be said that they
are panoplied in armor of proof be-
cause they have such a fine array of
military saints to initiate as patterns
and to invoke as intercessors, says
America"
The Catholic soldier who is charg-
ing the imminent deadly breach can
call, for example, on Saint Ignatius
Loyola, that fiery Spanish captain who
defended the Fortress of Pampeluna
until he was struck down by a cannon
shot; or Saint Sebastian, the valiant
Roman officer who sealed with his
blood his allegiance to God; or Saint
Lawrence, who endured intense pain
so smilingly; or the Forty Martyrs of
Sebaste, who saw in God their heav-
emily Commander-in-Ch or the great
Saint Louis, peerless Crusader and
proudest of Christian knights; or his
intrepid cousin, Saint Ferdinand, SO
renowned for his devotion to Our
Lady, and who wrested many a Span
ish city from the Moor; or Saint
Geneyieve, whose prayers saved Paris
from Attila; or Saint Clare, whose
faith in the Holy Eucharist drove the
Saracen troops from her convent gate;
or she who perhaps stands above all
other saints as soldiers patron, the
Blessed Joan of Arc, the Domremy
shepherdess whom God called to free
her country from the invader and to
seat her sovereign firmly on his
throne.
