The Bishop McGolrick Burse
GOAL NEARLY REACHED-WILL
CLOSE ON APRIL 27-TIME YET
TO ADD YOUR MITE.

The Bishop McGolrick Burse, which
was opened to the readers of The
Catholic Bulletin on February 16, will
be closed on April q. The one thou
sand dollar foundation for the educa-
ton of a native priest in the foreign
mission field will have been raised
on the latter date. Assurance to this
effect is given by generous friend
who, even a week ago, sought the
privilege of supplying the amount
necessary to complete the Burse. De-
string, however, to raise the full sum
by popular subscription the Directors
of the movement have hesitated to
avail themselves of the kind proposal.
The eleventh hour has already struck.
There remains, but a single week in
which to identify yourself with this
blessed cause. Eighty-two dollars is
yet to be raised Sixteen five-dollar
bills will all but turn the trick. Send
yours this week, or be denied for all
time the merit and the honor of hav-
ing made an offering to the first for

America First

Whatever the shores that your fore,
fathers hailed from,
Whatever the flags that they fought
for afar,
Whatever the lands that yourselves
may have sailed from,
Today you must cherish the land
where you are.
Today you are sons of this Nation OF
nations,
Now troubled by war and it's spirit
accurst;
So, guarding your souls against racial
temptations,
Let this be your motto: america

ROMANCE GONE
Efficiency Kills Sentiment as

SHow snowy whire your fingers look

fayorite speech Of grandfather when
10 was paying suit to grandmother,
who, If history is correct, never al
lowed little. things like love and court
ahip to distract her mind one minute
from her knitting.
The modern young man is robbed OF
any opportunity to make these pretty
speeches, for the wool is no longer
scarlet but khaki. Worse yet, the
maiden sits before a cold, steel ma
chine and grinds off socks in as many
minutes as it takes hours to knit them.
This is what efficiency does to ro-
nance.
In the various Red Cross workrooms
OF the New York County Chapter there
are nearly seventy-ive sock machines.
Eight Of these are in the model work
room at 20 East Thirty-eighth street and
others that have been ordered are held
10 by traffic conditions. Here instruc-
tors teach tie use of the machine to
Red Cross workers.
A complete pair of socks can be
made on the machine in 25 minutes.
The machine looks like g cross between
Ashing tackle and pile driver. The
worker threads it through the arm and
carrier on to the threader. The body
of the machine is a circle Of needles
bent at the ends like crochet hooks.
Sweaters also are made On the sock
emachine; the strips sewed together and
s.kse ribbing at top and bottom knitted
on by hand.
Besides the machines in the Red
Cross workrooms there are many
owned by private individuals or groups
who work at home and donate the re-
suits TO .he Red Cross. In family

CICERO HARMON DROWNED.

Cicero Harman, young white man
lost his life in the turbid waters OF
the Saluda river, while in bathing at
or near Holley's Ferry, 20 miles west
of Lexington on Saturday afternoon.
Together with some two dozen com
panions. the young man went into the
water and soon hereafter he went
down never to rise again. The alarm
was hastily given and it was not long
before the lifeless form of the young
man was found. Every method
known to those present was exercised
in an endeavor to resusitate, but with
out avail.
Cicero Harman was about 20 years
of age, and the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniel F. Harman. He had led an
exemplary life, it is said and was one

German Check Temporary;
Fresh Attacks Expected
(By Associated Press,)

PARIS, June 15-Despite a slight
advance, the German offensive, COM
menced June 8, will prove to have
been a heavy check to the enemy,
says Henry Bidou in the Journal des
Debats. Continuing he says:
ut is evident that the enemy's OBJ
jectives were undoubtedly Com
piegne and the Villers-Cotterets line
in order to reach beyond the forest on
the left wing and obtain base for
future operations against Paris.
There is no doubt that the battle may
be considered one lost by the enemy,
the Germans having only the doubt
full satisfaction of a slight advance, in
the center for which precious divis-
ions were sacrificed ruthlessly. The
check, however, is merely momentary.
We must expect the Germans to make
other attempts, as they are in a great
hurry to reach their goal, which ow-
ing to decreased forces and shorten
ing time appears as far away as ever.
