There will be no illiterates in Camp

will carry the 1900 men to be trained
near Kentucky's metropolis over the
seas to France.
Two Of the 'sthree Rs"-feadin' and

Prof. William b. Partridge has been
placed at the head Of the educational
organization in the camp. He is Or
ganizing classes, which will be taught
by officers and by intelligent enlisted
men. Partridge is educational direc-
tor Of the Y. NJ. @. A. camp branch.
Books for the school are to be sup
piled by the Kentucky iliteracy COM
mission. Many of the illiterate SOL
diers come from the hills of Kentucky,
but a great many foreigners from In
diana and eastern Illinois cannot speak
and write English.
Many wealthy and intelligent men
serving as privates in the drafted army
are studying French. There are now
nearly 10000 men in camp, and the
number will be doubled before cold

it is in Canada, mainly, if not alto
gether, that the bigoted charges are
levelled against Roman Catholicism.
This is due to the fact that the French
Canadians have been slow in recruit
ing. Not content with criticizing the
French Canadians for their attitude,
an attitude which has been encour-
aged by political leaders in Canada
for nearly twenty years, the ultra
Protestant bigots demand the con-
domination of the whole Roman Cath
Ollie church.
How absurd such statements are
will be understood when it is remem-
bered that if it had not been for
Roman Catholics the Germans would
have triumphed in the first months
of the war. 1t was the heroism of the
Catholic Belgians which held back the
great Prussian (and Lutheran) army
long enough for the Entente Allies to
gather together resisting force and
save Paris The Belgians did this at
the cost of untold sacrifice and almost
absolute national suicide. But the
heart of bigotry can appreciate moth
ing for long which is to the credit
of the mathematical.
Fair Play to All.
The Voice holds no brief for the
Roman Catholic or any other church,
but it likes to see common fairness
all round. If the voices of the back
biters in certain circles in Canada
could be heard all round the world
and il they were taken seriously, ir-
reparable harm would be done to the
cause of the Entente Allies.
In the same way there have been
many loose and unfounded allegations
made against labor and it's leaders.
Because Labor sounds the warning
note against the endless and unsleep-
ing Vaccinations of "the big interests, y
irrevocably opposed to the interests of
the common people, the voice of Labor
has been misrepresented and it's ideals
impugned. Labor, however, is used
to this treatment and, for the matter
of that, Roman Catholics must by now
be pretty we'll Injured to attacks of

MISREPRESENTATION
OF CATHOLIC CHURCH
Charges So Silly and Stupid That One
Wonders How They Find
Publication.
Alignment Of Nations Is Purely Po-
Iitical or Racial, Not
Religious.
But Bigotry Does Not Concern Itself
About Fact in Framing In
solent Allegations.

Both politics and religion make
strange bedfellows, sometimes, but
more often they excite rancorous ami
mosities. There is no charge which
a politician more dearly loves to hurl
at some one who differs from him than
to assert that the latter is unpatriotic.
Similarly, religious bigot is not slow
to charge a church with which he is
not in sympathy with being unpatriotic
and disloyal.
For some time, in certain Protestant
circles, and in certain papers which
cater to the bigoted element of Pro-
testantism there have been yelled al
legations that the Pope and the Roman
Catholic church are in league with
the Kaiser. These allegations are
made with much the same dogmatic
confidence that similar allegations
have been made against the Labor
party and it's leaders.
In regard to the Roman Catholic
church the broad facts of the great
war, facts which are patent and plain
to everybody, make the ill-natured
charges of some bigoted Professionals
seem utterly groundless. The first
great drive in the war was made by
Protestant Prussia, the cradle of the
Reformation, and the first heroic
stand against that on-sweeping force
of Lutherans was made by the Roman
Catholic Belgians. Then Roman Cath
Ollie France went to the aid of Belgium.
It was not very long before country
after country became involved in the
mighty conflict, and the alignment in
every case was purely political. On
the one hand we now see Protestant
German, Roman Catholic Austria, and
Mohammedan Turkey. On the other
hand Roman Catholic Belgium, France,
Italy, Portugal and, so far as SYM
patty and moral support is concerned,
several Roman Catholic countries in
South America; together with Pro-
testant Britain and the United States.
There is talk of Sweden, Protest
ant country, getting into the war. If
she does she is considered likely
ally of Germany. She has been sus-
pected of strong sympathies in that
direction.
An Evident Conclusion.
In the face of these facts it is GER
tainly a bold man who will say that
the Roman Catholics are on the side
of Germany or that the Pope would
be fool enough to sacrifice the inter-
ests of numerous Roman Catholic
countries for the sake of Austria.
In Canada there have been most
fervid patriotic utterances from the
Roman Catholic bishops, Sinnott, of
Winnipeg, and Fallon, of Ontario. Yet,

WILL IRELAND BE A
NATION AGAlN7

Belgium is looking for justice,
France wants Alsace-Lorafne.
Poland wants freedom for ever,
But who dares to speak Ireland's
name?
Who clamors for Justice for Ireland?
Who wants to see her shores free?
Who cares for long-wronged old Erin?
Who cares to make Ireland free?
Will England, the self-styled defender
OF weak and small nations today,
Breathe now her perfumed breath Of
justice,
On the long-wronged sons of the
Gael?
Will she give the sons, and the daugh-
tiers of Erin
The freedom God meant to be theirs?
Will she show to the world forever
That justice to Ireland she gave?
When this righteous war is all over,
When all nations regain what Il
theirs,
Will Ireland be still seeking justice,
Or will Ireland be Nation again?

To the Editor, Irish Standard:
Activities during the past week were
somewhat crippled owing to the undue
severity Of the weather. Outdoors the
northern gale sweeping through the
Beaver Valley drove everyone to shell

walk their beats despite the condition
Of the weather.
Walking the post is no pastime, yet
that duty is being cheerfully per-
formed. There is no suffering, thanks
to the great work of the Red Cross in
supplying the sweaters and knitted he'll

livered highly instructive discourse,
as we'll as entertaining the boys with
some Of his classic renditions of

himself quite favorite with the boys,
who expressed themselves eager for
an early return visit.
At Building No. the Thursday night

audience. Supplementary was the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Davidsaver of Des

readings that were we'll received. An
interested visitor during the week was
Father Pouget of Maloy, Iowa. A
F'renchman himself, he was specially
interested in the group of French Off

enjoyed very pleasant visit. Father
Pouget is fluent speaker and prof

These books are compiled especially
for the soldier and are eagerly sought

Although we come not now before Thy

kneel and pray,
From kindred, home and friendship

The soldiers rude assault has torn
Thy frame,
Their ribald speech blasphemed Thy

The Judges sentence has been Thine

The wanton exercise of brutal DOW

The doom of death has passed upon
Thy heart,

BODY OF MITCHELL
 VIEWED BY MANY

NEW YORK, July 10-Silent, sad dened citizens in seemingly endless lines marched through the rotunda of the city hall tonight past the flag draped coffin in which TepOsed the body of Maj. John PurOy Mitchell
 The coffin had been sealed before it was brought tO the historic building to lie in state where the bodies Of Abraham Lincoln and U. s. Grant once rested. Those who passed before it felt no shame in the tears shed for the young officer who left the mayors chair to serve his country and fell to his death in a Louisiana aviation field last Saturday.
 There was no shade of black with in the city hall. On the wall was hung an American flag, flanked by the col CTS of the allies. A soft spotlight played on the flags and another on the coffin. Beside which was a stand of United States flags.
 A service fage of white with mar row black border, bearing a single golden star, was draped beside the casket, while another gold service star on a shield was hung between the center pillars of the building.
 At the stroke of 3 a troop of mount ed policemen galloped into city hal park giving warning to the thousands gathered there that the body of Ma jor Mitchell had arrived from the home of his widowed mother to lie in state in the building where he ruled the affairs of the city for four years.
 At $50 the iron gates of the city hall were thrown open and word was carried to the waiting throng that the body of Major Mitchell was lying in state. From then until far into the night. men, women and children filed past the coffin at the rate of 200 Q minute paying a final tribute Of re- spect.
 The first in line was a little boy in a sailors suit. He was followed by an aged woman, dressed in black and ] behind her was a bareheaded woman with a baby in her arms. Then came a flood of New York's citizens of ey cry race and every walk in life.
