A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
Protestant Chaplain Has a Mass Said
for Deceased Catholic Chaplain.

A soldier sends us the account of a
delightful incident in connection with
the late Father Bernard Kavanagh,
who died while British chaplain with
the forces near Jerusalem. The fact
shows how charity and good will have
been fostered by the comradeship of
the trenches.
A certain Protestant chaplain, very
shortly after the death of Father Ka-
vanagh, went to convent in a vii
lage near and asked the priest to say
Mass for the repose of the soul of the
Catholic c. F. The priest himself had
been wounded by a shell and was I'M
fit for duty, but so touched was he by
the request that he managed by a
great effort to say the Mass as de-
sired. The chaplain was present at
the latter and paid the customary sti-
pend, thanking the priest with the
most heartfelt sincerity for his SER
vices. The little incident rebounds
equally to the credit of the late Faith
er Kavanagh and of his separated
brother who so generously performed
a spiritual work of mercy on his be-
half.

First, last and always. be as band
of brothers. No matter what state
or nation you come from, no matter
what race or religion, be band of
brothers to defend your country
against her enemies.
Keep a clean spirit with a clean
body. There is more pleasure, sat
,isfaction and JOY in resisting pas
sions than in gratifying them. If
you crafty them your life will be
shortened and you will face punish
ment thereafter. Keep a clean body
and spirit and you will enjoy a good
conscience and God will bless you.
LAS David before his battle with the
giant Goliath invoked the power of
God, so you are here consecrating
yourselves to the battle ahead The
duty of a soldier is discipline and
obedience.
LAS Nelson said, England expects
every man to do his duty so l re-

Australian Hierarchy Approves Posi-

Hon. John Dillon, chairman of the
Nationalist party in the House of Com

from Archbishop Kelly of Sydney on
behalf of the Australian hierarchy
Considering the persistent refusal of
respective governments to grant home
rule to Ireland, despite the votes of
the British people and petitions of
the dominions, we, voicing Irish and
Australian democratic sentiment. call
upon the government to grant home
rule for Ireland forthwith, and consid-
ering the invariable failure of coer-
cion in Ireland, we strenuously pro-
test against any attempt by the British
government to conscript Ireland"

MAKESPLEAFOR
NATIONAL UNITY
Speaker at French Holiday CeIe-
bratiOn Also Advocates United
States OF the World.

Unity Is the thing which every
lover Of the human race must look
to TO bring about a better order Of
things" declared Henry R. Rath-
bone of Chicago yesterday after
noon at the celebration held in
Prospect park to commemorate the
18TH anniversary of BaStilIe day,
the national holiday of the French
people If we are going to con-
tinue as a nation we must stand to-
gether. We must see that in the
end some good shall come from this
struggle. And when that time
comes hope there will be a league
Of nations that will prevent a rene
tition of this terrible tragedy and
make the world forever safe for de-
mocracy. We have successfully es-
tablished and maintained for over
one hundred years the United States
Of America. The next step for US TO
take is TO establish the United
States Of the World"
With this strong appeal for
unity the speaker opened his ad-
dress by examples and proceeded
to show how disunity results in de-
struCtion. 1T is only a year ago
that Russia cast off the reigns Of
despOtism and created a temple Of
liberty that appeared to resemble
ours. Today she is torn asunder
by the spirit of disunion, of dissen-
sion between classes and parties.
France has shown herself to be
supremely great in national hero
ism and devotion" said Mr. Rath-
bone, touching up the appropriate
topic of the day Lafayette and
thousands of others left behind
them their friends and their homes
and took their stand beside Wash
ington and helped US win liberty
Today our men are battling beside
those of France in that great
struggle for human liberty and for
all the world. Our country is ready
10 pay back the debt we owe TO
France"
After making an eloquent appeal
for devotion and loyalty TO the flag
Mr.. Rathbone reviewed events in
American history which demon
strate how steadfast it has been
in the belief that democracy was
the only satisfactory policy and that
We appreciate now that during
all these years there has been
growing up a nation founded Oh
principles entirely different from
ours Germany has trampled on
every moral law. We believe that
right makes might; Germany be-
lieves that might makes right.
Germany tore POsen from
Poland; in 1884 she took Schleswig-
Holstein from Denmark; in 1870 she
attacked France and stole Alsace-
Lorraine
What hope do We have from a
nation like that? She has the
second greatest navy i'll the world
If her ships should succeed in land
ing the German hordes on our east
ern coast we would have TO pay
an indemnity beside which all
others would appear as nothing.

would do the same thing to US that

SILvIS WORKERS
RETURN TO JOBS
LabOrers at Shops End Strike
When Government Representa-
tives Explain Situation.

One hundred and ninety labor
ers employed by the Rock Island
lines at the Silvis shops, who
walked out on July because o..
dissatisfaction over wages, return
ed to work this morning. An
agreement was made Saturday
night by means of a conference at
tended by John McManimy and
John Kane of Chicago, who repre-
sent w. G. McAdoo, director gener-
al of the nations railroads.
The strike, it is stated, was pre-
Cipitated by a misunderstanding OF
the laborers in regard to govern
ment order 81, which, according to
officials of the company does not
cover the wages paid the laborers.
Report of a committee which has
been looking into the question was
made a few days ago and its find
ings were responsible to some ex-
tent in clearing up the difficulty
II is understood that even now the
Iaborers are in doubt as to the
increase which is to be given them
in the near future, but the ques-
ton for payment of overtime was
adjusted by granting time and d
half for all work over eight hours.
When the conditions of the wage
systems were fully explained to
the men they apparently were sat
isfied and agreed to return to the
shops.
During the two weeks strike,
work at the plant was not serious
~ affected, except in the black
smith shop where laborers are en-
ployed in carrying coal. An Off
cial of the shops this morning
stated that conditions appear now
to be agreeable to all and that no
further trouble is looked for. The
two men who effected the adjust
ment are the same representative
who relieved the situation at the
time Of the tieup caused by gen.
eraI walkout in June.

TAXPAYERS MAY
FORM A LEAGUE
Organization to Take Active Inter-
est In Moline City Affairs Re-
ported Being Formed.

Rumor has it that before long a
tax payers league will be organ
lied In Moline, the aim of which
shall be to take an active part in
debating the policy Of the city. Ac-
cording to a man who seems inter
ested in the movement but who de-
clined to allow his name to be used.
a number OF influential Moline citi-
zens will be incorporated in its
membership. 1t is destined to be a
big factor in municipal politics
from the very start, he declares.
The organization, it is said, will
attempt to establish business prin-
ciples in city government and even
may propose an altogether differ
ent style OF city government, such
as the city manager system. It will
primarily be used to influence the
ways and levying and spending the
city's taxes, however.
Several municipal positions are
expected to be abolished when the
league gets in working order and
the salaries attached to those jobs
turned over for use in public i'm
provements. Lack of fire protec-
ton will also be a talking point for
the new organization and a violent
protest will be placed with the city
commission, it is prophesied.
Influence of the league will be
particularly brought to bear in the
elections next spring and al poll
ticians are warned to get right
in the league if they wish sue
cessful campaign, according to re-
ports.

AUTO AND LIQUOR
GET ROCK ISLAND
MAN IN TROUBLE

Roy Kale OF Rock Island, while
under the influence of Davenport
liquor, pitted himself against all
corners in the vicinity of the Pillow
City garage Saturday night, and
had a measure of success for a
time. After his several fistic en-
counters he entered his automo-
bile and started for Rock Island, a
policeman chasing in another car.
Kale was overtaken after he had
crossed the border and was taken
back to Moline. His trouble start
ed when the car he was driving
collided with another one. In po-
lice court this morning he was
fined so, and after settlement Of
damages to the amount of $50, 9TH
er charges were dropped.
