TER WAR PROBLEMS.

Do not relax your efforts in the
slightest degree on account of the
armistice, says Secretary Franklin K.
Lane in wire just received by the
Public Safety Commission. This
would not, he adds, mean that the
war is over In any event the emer-
gency will not be over for a long
time. Most of the war work must
go on with full force. Every man
and woman in the Safety Commits
sion's system must stay on the job
to the end.
1t is of the utmost Importance that
not only all members of defense and
war work organizations but all 9th
ers also, every man and woman,
should understand that an armistice
would not mean, nor must it mean,
any cessation of the fighting done
by the home army. Our boys must

our soldiers over to Europe, and it
may take more than year to get
them back again, even though they
may have no more fighting to do. In
the meantime our Red Cross workers

tor being held by the Yanks. Appa-
rently the Office of Father john was
popular place, if the number of SOL
diers coming from and going into it,
indicated anything.
The office" proved to be the head
quarters of Chaplain John De Wales,
a knights Of Columbus volunteer
priest, winner of the Croix de Guerre,
who, before the war, was rector of a
church at New Bedford, Mass. Quite
recently Father De Wales was offered
commission by the United States
government as a reward for his BRAY
cry, but to the boys of his outfit he's
still plain Father john" carrying out
the joint work of chaplain and a
knights of Columbus secretary.
1t happens that most of the boys
in the regiment to which Father De
Wales is attached hail from the New
England states, and it can be said,
without betraying any military scr
crets, that they are part and parcel
of the famous Twenty-sixth, or Yanks'
Division, which has been cited by
General Pershing on several occa-
sions.
Father De Wales office is about as
busy a place as can be found in the
area of that division. He answers
questions of every description that
the boys hurl at him, and tries to set
tie some of the many problems the
lads in khaki have. If a boy gets a
letter from home stating that no al
lOtmentS have been received from him
for few months, it is to Father De
Wales he goes with that letter, and
the volunteer chaplain does his best
to help him out.
Say, I've done everything in this
outfit from shaving men TO umpiring
ball games and refereeing boxing
bouts for them," said Father De Val
les, to new chaplain from the Unit
ed States who had just been assigned
to that regiment.
Father De Wales didn't add that he
had also gone over the top with the
doughboys on nearly every raid they
had made, and that he had been
awarded the Croix de Guerre and the
d. S. c. for bravery. Neither did he
show the citation in which is men,

Founders Day, November 4, the an
the deep reverence and sincere graft
tude in which the name of Father
Samuel Mazzuchelli is held by the
faculty and students and the enthusi-
astic loyalty to the ideals which his
noble life inspires, takes on added sig
nificance for the senior collegiates,
who on this day first appeared in aca-.
demic dress. The evening program
given by the members of this years
class consisted of well-rendered must
cal numbers and of tributes in prose
and verse to the memory of the heroic
missionary, the distinguished educa-
tor, and the patriotic American citizen,
the browning work of whose life was
the religious community and the
school whose privilege it is to emulate
his virtues and perpetuate his work.
On November 9, piano playing Of
admirable charm and skill was pre-
sented by Miss Grace Welsh, j. NJ.

Beethoven, Chopin and Brahms com
positions. While the players accom-
plishments merit the commentator
of the earnest connoisseur, the power

the charm of her utterly unaffected
manner and then to the greater fas-
cination of the marvellous results ac-
complished through the intellect, soul
and the industry of the player. Miss

honors in music at st. Clara in 1916,

THAT IRELAND'S CLAIM TO

LIBERTY FOR SMALL NATIONS.

In the reconstruction of the ma.

now that this war is over, we must
not lose sight of the fact that Ireland
must have her rights, the rights so
long denied her. She must be free
and Independent, subject to no politi-

Ireland has for centuries cried for
freedom, and this cry has gone unan-

Reconstruction of the world is
surely coming. Never in the history
of the world has such an opportunity
presented itself 1t is not only the
duty of every person in whose veins

that her cry be heard-but the duty

DIOCESAN ORGANIZATION

Each week hereafter various items
with reference to parish and diocesan
organizations. The National Catholic
War Council advised that the organi-
cations enrolled for the present We'll
fare Fund Drive might well be used
and enlarged for local purposes. The
seven units into which the diocesan
organization is divided form the basis
for a parish committee along the same
lines. The idea of the Council is that
this parish unit. may be directed along
various lines of endeayor for the up
building of parochial enterprises. In
such unit the pastor has the nucleus
of an organization that may serve him
in many ways.
Mrs. W. j.. Logue, S85 Dayton Ave-
nue., ST. Paul, is diocesan, secretary
for this work. The intention is to
classify, the lists of names submitted
by the different pastors of the do
cese. Each pastor has been request
ed to send in these names so that a
complete list of workers may be kept
/ on hand for the whole diocese. I'm
this way there will be built up, for
general purposes, diocesan organi-
zation that later on can be turned into
many channels forethe welfare Of the
| diocesan works as we'll as for parish
endeavors.
| Some pastors are issuing booklet
| to be complete record of parishion-
ers. This will also be an interesting
war record of value to the National
| Catholic War Council which is seek
ing data from every parish in the
country. Such data will be used later
on in compiling the historical record
of the part Catholics have played in
the present war.
