Dear Parishioners:
Lent calls us once more from the
pressing cares and activities of
everyday life to the realities of
things unseen, and urges us to pre-
pare for them. y,
Who Of US has not been startled
at the euddenness with which the
Angel of Death has called some dear
one away from this world to enter
upon that life which is eternal?
And yet what more desirable change,
provided our life has been a steady
preparation for this certain end, and
we are able to exclaim, Even SO,
come, Lord Jesus"
II We live as St. Paul did we too
might say every day of our lives, 81
am a strait betwixt two, having a
desire to depart and to be with
Christ, which is far better; never
the-less to abide in the flesh is more
needful of you.''

NOW CALLED NlcKEL-SILVER
WeII-Known Metal Has Been Relieved
From the Obiiquity OF Bearing
a German Name.

One Of the largest matchmaking
concerns in this country has recently
changed the name of the alloy here
tofore known as German silver, and is
now marketing this commodity as
nickel-silver, and publication devoted
to the metal industry suggests that
the word silver be eliminated entirely,
as there is no silver in the cOmbina-
ton. This publication says: If the
nickel is taken from an is per cent
German silver alloy only a two and
one brass will remain. Why not then
call the compound 'nickel-brass, or, If
commercial objections are too strong
to be overcome at once, why not call it
nickel alloy? The various contents OF
nickel may be designated by utilizing
the different percentages that the al
10y contains. Thus, 4, 6, 8, 10, y, 10,
10 per cent, etc. nickel-allOy. 1t is q
fact that some manufacturers are al
ready designating the material now
being sold as Sheffield plate as sill
ver-plate on a nickel base We see
no reason why the same argument
does not apply to the alloy being called
nickel-Siiver"

New Uses of Cotton.

The people as yet little understand
the wonderful variety of uses to which
cotton is now put One industry has
established at Columbus, Ga, at a cost
of 100000 a mill whose machinery
is capable of producing % different
kinds of cotton weave, says a CORE
spondent- The government has re-
Gently placed orders for many million
yards, it having been found possible
to substitute cotton for linen in the
manufacture of wings for aircraft, and
also to substitute a cotton weave for
the rubber gas masks and rubber coats
which airmen wear. Secretary Dan
iels has ordered the purchase of no.
100000 pounds Of cotton for navy
uses and 2OO,OOO,OOO yards of cotton
gauze for surgical purposes. Chemists
making researches believe that within
a short time additional uses Of cotton
will be found; and yet only a few
years ago about the only use Of Amer
lean cotton was in the manufacture Of
cloth.

cussing the general subject OF subma-
rine warfare he asked:
What right have Americans to take
passage on these vessels, anyway? Il
they came onto the battlefield they
would not expect US to stop firing
would they? Why should they expecI
any greater protection when they en-
ter the war zone at sea?
Don't ever forget" he went on. go
bullet from a pistol would be enough
to sink one of our U-boats. How can
we stop and board vessels we encoun-
ter TO ascertain whether they are neu-
traI and not carrying contraband? If
what appears to be a neutral should
in fact prove to be a beIIigerent, or if
belligerent should heave to in re
spouse to the command of one Of our
submarines, how could We safely send
boarding party over when a rife
shot from the vessel in question would
send US to the bottom? Obviously if
America persists in sending munitions
to the allies, there is but one thing
for US to dO-sink the vessels
When 1 suggested that while the
vulnerability of the submarine IN
doubtedly lesSened its value in con-
nectiOn with the right of search which
belligerents have under international
law, still the law ought to be OBJ
served, the kaiser interrupted me has
tily with the remark:
international lawi There is no
such thing as international law any
morer'
In that assertion, Of course, lies the
answer to all the questions which have
arisen in connection with the conduct
of the war. If the Germans recog-
nized no international law but were
guided solely by their ideas Of expedi-
ency and the demands of "kultur, -
then the whole course of the war be-
came perfectly clear. The use of poi
sOnOus gas, the destruction of unfor-
tilted towns, the dissertation of
churches. the attacks on hospitals and
Red Cross units, the countless atroci-
ties committed against civilians and
prisoners of war require no other ex-

The fact that Greece had a treaty

that she had failed to meet her obi
