ours are meeting with poverty every
where, and very few of the parishes
are able to support themselves with
out the aid of outside assistance.
Without the aid of the assistance
that has been directed from this coun-
try TO the Philippines, it would not
have been possible for the Missionar-
les to make the progress that they
have
The latest appeal that we have re-
ceived from the Philippines is from
the Mother Superior Of the Sisters of
Charity, who are in charge of the only
Catholic Hospital in the whole of the
vast .Island Of Mii1darao, in the Dio.

The; are in need of funds to sup
port the Hospital, which contains
about fifty beds, all of which are filled
with the sick poor The Bishop OF
Zamboanga heartily endorses the ap-
peal, and adds that while the Hospital
is barely able 10 support itself. it nev'
ertheless merits the aid Of Extension
as il. is doing a. splendid work for the
souls, as well as the bodies, OF the
poor. .......
! A few years ago, when the Hospital
was in the: course of construction, we
were able to secure generous ,dona
tion for this institution, and how that
poverty is forcing itself upon these
good Sisters and their charges, we fee
certain that some good soul, interested

TOUCHING SCENE AT MIDNIGHT
MASS IN AFRICA.

Little Edjeu, negro boy, six years
old had great desire to become a
Christian to receive the Bread o.
Angels. After his brothers baptism,
he grew very serious, even sad. The
missionary frequently asked him about
what he was thinking. Each time he
received for answer: Please, Father,
do give me the Water of God (bap-
tism) = But he had to get his moth
er's permission, and she, being a
hcathen was unwilling to have her lit
tie son baptized. The lovely
feast of Christmas had come round; !;
sweet Christmas carols were heard
once more-and again the blessed priv
ilege was ours of assisting at mid
right Mass. Edjou had asked and OBJ
ta:ned permission to serve with little
Samuel, midnight Mass. They agreed
10 sing song in Baby Jesus own
language CLatin). Scarcely had the
lpcople finished a song in their own
language, when the two altar boys
started in clear ringing tones their
@Gloria in excelsis Deo."
They sang with such ease and with
so much feeling that not only the peo-
rio who assisted at Mass were
touched, but even the priest was SO
moved that it was difficult for him to
Droceed With the Mass. It was a real
surprise.

THE WAR AND PROTESTANT
PREJUDICE. ...,..

A Scotch Presbyterian Minister, with
the Expeditionary Force in France,
contributes 10 q local magazine, says
the GLASGOW Observer, q letter on
Tho Children OF France and from
it | quote the following passages as
further evidence of the changes
brought about by the war. "One fore
noon / spent an hour in the Cathedral.
1t was comparatively empty. n French
officer was kneeling before one Of the
affairs in meditation and prayer. A
lady in mourning W2s setting up and
lighting some candles at one OF the
pillars. But what interested me most
more than the paintings and cary
Iings-was q group of schoolgirls. AT
first they were sitting very quietly on
the chairs in tho aiSleS. Then | saw
them slip Off III ones and tWoS. They
would kneel down on the stone floor
before an altar Or an image OF some
tsaint, and say their, prayers, and then
quietly slip back to their seats again.
You sec, they had been taught not to
| be ashamed CT their religion. We
should never be ashamed to pray. One
week-night | entered a little village
church after service had begun, the
| first religious service Of any kind I
| had attended in France. The church
was not very big, little larger than
Blackfriars vestry, and very poorly
! furnished, with uneven stone floor
whitewashed roof and walls, and even
| wooden pews. The audience was
made up Of three little girls, their
mothers, and a dozen French soldiers,
! from regiment back resting from the
hottest part of the French line. AS
entered they were singing a hymn to
tune which | used to sing as a boy
in the Sunday school. At once | felt
myself quite at home, and joined
| heartily in the chorus, to ny own
words. Another of the hymns interest
ed me. One OF the soldiers sang the
verses as 8 solo, ard all the rest
| Joined very Justify iii the chorus. The
priest gave short address, most Of
which | could not understand. There
was one word, however, which he re-
| podCGu again ana again, .tHc IFeuSii
| word for heart, and that was sufficient
to give me the key to his address, for
on the end wall of the building there
was a large painting OF the Saviour
showing His pierce hands and side to
His disciples, and over it the words
| Behold His Heart, Who 50 loved men
Now, that was just the help and com
fort which we most needed. Amid ali
the anXietieS Of the present it is well
to be reminded Of that Wounded Heart.

Aliens MUST PAY
TAX ON EARNINGS

CONSERVATION has been thrown into
the ranks of aliens in the city by the
report circulated at the Circuit Court
on Monday in connection with the
naturalization hearings that a two per-
cent tax is to be levied by the Federal
government upon the hearings of all
aliens in the country. The copy of the
law has not as yet been received by
Clerk of the Circuit Court B. M. De-
Deimar and he declared that he could
not give out the facts in regard to it's
provisions. He insisted however that
heNrepresentatives of the Federal bur-
eau in Kenosha on Monday had copies
of the law and that it would force aliens
to disgorge a lot of money which they
earned during the continuance of the
war. Factory legal advisers in Keno
sha said that they had not received
copies of the law as yet and that they
We're ignorant of its provisions. It is
declared that the law is first hit at
men in Glass 5 F who have refused to
oOcA INC OhIOOhS VI AI11lGdIJ ob4 NlC6
and who managed to escape service by
hiding under the claim that they were
citizens of another nation and owed
allegiance to another flag.
1t is declared that factory managers
will be forced to keep a close tab on
all aliens and the amounts earned by
them so that it viii be possible for
the Federal Government to assess this
tax. It is declared that the collection
of the tax will result in thousands of
dollars being paid by Kenosha aliens
to the Federal Government. Just as
soon as a copy of the new regulation is
received in the city it will be published
It is declared that the new law is work
ing all over the country to discourage
the employment of aliens and that it is
causing thousands of these people to seek
citizenship in order that they may be
able to earn wages without being forced
to pay portion of it in federal taxes.

How to Love the Water.

HOW 60 Love the Water.
Bob Zimmerman, of the Milwaukee
Athletic Club, who is to appear at the
Elk's Club as Swimming Instructor fol-
a limited time, has had long success
full career as an athlete in many diff
ferent sports. While he has mainly
specialized on swimming and fancy div
ing, he has made his mark in such sports
as basket ball, football, hockey, bowling
and canoe padding. Tim s swimming
career opened in Chicago in 1900 I'm
der the colors of the Y. NJ. G. A. When
the new Illinois Athletic Club was built
he joined their tank squad. In 1906 he
moved to Montreal, Can, where for the
next seven years he won practically
every Canadian Championship in both
swimming and diving.
At the Olympic games in 1908 al
London and 1912 at Stockholm, he com
peted under the colors of Canada. II
1909 he, in company with Hunter Mich,
aels of Chicago, shot all the rapids OF
the st. Lawrence river from Kingston
down to Montreal. The feat has never
been duplicated. In 1914 accompanied
by Fred Smith of Halifax, he padded
a canoe from Montreal to Chicago,
trip of approximately 1900 miles.
Tim has developed great many stan
swimmers, notable cases being George
Hodgson of Montreal who won tn,
worlds Championship at Stockholm
and the Twin Sisters of Columbus, o
who have recently broken three world
records. Arrangements are being mad,
to have the Twins swim at the AGiIwau
kee A. G. in February, and if possible
an exhibition will be given in our owl
pool at the Elks Club. Zim declares
that they are wonders swimming with
equal grace the breast, back and craw
strokes as well as doing beautiful
fancy diving.
Tim has his own methods of arous
ing interest among til members. In tho
M. A. G.. he has formed an organization
known as the Water-bugs. The mem
bers are divided into four teams an1
compete for points. Every day Tin
figures out some new stunt for them t.
do. The stunts are so fixed that ever
q poor swimmer has a chance to per
form them but is liable to cause a loi
of fun before he does so. Swimming
records made by the members of the
Elk's will be displayed in a promin
emit place at the Club and all the STAR
are urged to get around and set som,
records for the youngsters to shoot at

of this number $685. were women.
Miss Eliza Work, who reached the
age of one hundred and FIVE, gave as
the reason for her long life that she
never drank tea or coffee; Mrs Mar

she never lacked resources and was
