the Y. M. G.. A. has devoted much of
it's effort to educational and intellec-
tual work." said Col. Callahon. eve
have adopted the plan of having the
men entertain themselves, and we find
that they like their own talent better
than professionals from the outside.
Gas a result of the system worked
out by the various social agencies at
the camps, complete harmony exists.
The secretaries of the Y. M. c. A.,
Knights of Columbus and the Jewish
workers meet each week and plan
their program, so that there will be
no duplication. Our buildings are
open to all, regardless of creed or ma
tionality, and the only religious SER
vices we have are held on Sunday
morning for the Catholic officers and
enlisted men,"
Foreign Work Active.
Speaking of the foreign work of the
Knights of Columbus, Col. Callahan
said that there are now forty.seven
secretaries and thirteen chaplains in
France under Knights of Columbus
auspices, and that between ten and
twelve men are going over each week.
The plans call for 200 secretaries and
chaplains by August and 500 by fall.
Col. Callahan also said that relig-
ious census recently taken in the
camps shows that So per cent of all
the men protested religion as COM
pared with 46 out Of every 100 in civil
life.
"Hot dogs and hot coffee for the
soldiers" is the slogan of Knights of
Columbus workers in France, accord
ing to Col. Callahan. "aThe knights Of
| Columbus" he said, have larger or.
CARNATIONS than any other agency at
the three principal ports of entry to

CHALLENGE Accepted.

The times demand the recalling of
an almost forgotten incident that
marked the close of the Franco-Prus-
sian war of 1870. Peace had been de-
clared, and Alsace and Lorraine had
become part of the Hunnish realm,
but the armies of the invader had not
yet been completely withdrawn. A
party of officers, composed of both
French and Germans, had been dining
together, but as the evening progress
ed their mutual antipathy bid fair to
overwhelm their manners. The sub
ject of art had arisen and perhaps the
Frenchmen had "swanked" little on
the score of Frances recognized gift
for making the artistic best Of even
the most unpromising material. The
claim was too great for an old Ger
man colonel. Plucking stubby grey
hair from his chin, he presented it
with exaggerated courtesy to the most
vociferous Frenchman. make some.
thing beautiful of that" he sneered.
The challenge was promptly accepted,
and a day fixed. At the rendezvous
on the appointed day the Frenchman
produced gold scarf pin, through the
rounded head of which, at right angles,
was passed the Germans beard bristle.
On either protruding end of the hair
quivered tiny golden ball, on one
engraved the word "Alsace," on the
other Lorraine" while spirally around
the pin itself was the legend, "You
hold them but by a hair

The Empty Coat.

faint no use a-hangin' there
On it's peg no more!
Sleeves a-showin' too much wear,
Pocket badly torn.
Prob'ly when the war is done
It'll be too small.
Guess he'll have another one
If he comes at all.
But it's sacred in our eyes;
Somethin' like prayer;
Now 1t looks so lonesome-wise
Jest a-hangin' there.
Seems like yeste-day I stood,
Watched him bout his chores;
Bringin' in the kitchen wood,
Stompin' cross the floors.
Laughed to see him snoopin' round,
Like he used to snoop,
Whistlin' happy when he found
Ma was maxim soup!
Now that he amt here no more
Ma and me jest glance
Up at that old coat he wore
Fore he went to France.
Nights, when all the doors is shet,
Fore go up-stair,
Touch its sleeve an find It wet
Mas ben cryin' there.
Sometimes smartin' my eyes, too,
Have to wink 'em tight,
When I whisper, proud o. you!
Good night, lad! Good night"

May.

A breeze blown out of Paradise
Kisses the apple boughs;
The dancing shadows strange device
With life endows.
And it is family musical
Sing, echoes, soft and long!
Come, little birds, and listen all
Your lesson song!
IT'S subtle-scented with the sigh
Blown from wild rose spray;
Springs dearest daughter passes by,
Delicate May.

Observance


President Wilson has issued this Or
der for Sunday observance:
"The President, commander-in.chief
of the army and navy, following the
reverent example of his predecessors,
desires and enjoins the orderly observ-
ance Of the Sabbath by the officers and
men in the military and naval service
of the United States. The Importance
for man and beast of the prescribed
weekly rest, the sacred right of Chris
tian soldiers and sailors, a becoming
Difference to the best sentiment of a
Christian people, and due regard for
the Divine Win demand that Sunday
labor in the army and navy be re.
duced to the measure of strict neces-

is dictated by the best traditions of
our people and by the convictions of all
who look to Divine Providence for
guidance and protection, and, in re-
peating in this order the language of
President Lincoln, the President is
confident that he is speaking alike to
the hearts and to the consciences of
those under his authority"
