LENTEN RULES CHANGED
Pope Benedict Recognizes the
Existing Order of Things
In This Country

Pope Benedict has given, official
recognition ID the o1osts cf the United
States food administration to con
serve products that the war may be
more successfully carried forward. and
many chGnges in the Lertcn regula-
tions viii be in vogue when the pen
itential season baCi1s, on February IS.
IT is rap..~ra nv t,te .~-,enn that
Catholics in this country hove been
forced to undergo unusual ii2Tdships
in living up to the requests of the
food administration. They are do
ing more than others in the ccnserv-
alton of flesh meats, for not only do
they observe the abstinence en- Tues
day, set aside by the government, but
thev must forego the use of meats on
Friday as ordered by the church.
This double duty would be greatly
increased by old Lenten regulations
which forbid the use of meat on Fri
davs CT the penitential season.
The chuch heretofore has forbid
den Catholics to use flesh meat and
sea food at the same meal, but under
the new dispensation Of the pope this
rule is changed, and this combina-
tion may be INDUCED in during Lent
of this year, and all Lenten seasons
during the continuation of the war.
At the same time the pope by the
indult granting the use of fish and
meats, orders that Saturday be here
after substituted for Wednesday as
the day for abstaining from flesh
meats. 1t is understood that many
Catholics during Lent will observe
these two days and will give up the
Tuesday abstinence requested by the
government. The indult allowing
working men and their families the
use of flesh meats on Saturday will be
in effect. No one, however, will be
allowed to use flesh meats on Fridays
during the whole year
The indult, just issued, does not
hermit the use of meat on Ash
Wednesday. Afternoon on Holy Sat
urday, which heretofore has been a
day of rigorous abstinence, the use
OF meat will be allowed
Men serving in the army or navy
are permitted to eat meat on all the
days of the year, except Ash We'd

the Vigil of Assumption and the
forenoon of Holy Saturday.

PLAN OF THE PURPLE
CROSS NOT ENDORSED
Well Meant, But Is Not
Considered Practical
CAN'T BRING DEAD HOME
View of Toledo Boz Who Wants
To Be Buried Where He
Falls
]. w. PEeLER.

With The American ExpeditionarJ
Army, France, January 15.-[By
Mail l-Someone who knows should
have tipped off the Purple Cross that
it can't. be done. The campaign OF
that organization aiming to trans
port back home the bodies of soldi-
ers killed in action is causing moth
ing but regret in the army.
The Sammy, the backbone and
substance of the army, is sorry the
gruesome side of this fierce war
business has been shown in such
cruel detail to his family back home.
Mother and dad are worried enough
anyway.
The absolute proven futi,ity Of the
proposition makes army people-of-
ficers and men-rather impatient at
the we'll meant propaganda of the
Purple Cross.
Plan of Purple Red Cross.
The working plan lis understood to
be this: To provide a corps of men,
physically unfit for fighting but brave
enough to face shell fire, who will
collect the dead from hell-swept
battlefields and from No Mans Land.
To embalm the bodies and send
them home without cost to the in
dividual families.
1t is understood that the Purple
Cross wants. either a government
subsidy or permission to raise fund
such as the Y. M. c. A. fund. Also
the organization wants official army
rank for it's officers.
The subsidy or fund and the rank
for officers would come anyway if
the big plan of the Purple Cross
were recognized But the scheme
looks like a loser if sentiment among
the people most concerned in it's
operation will have any weight in
the matter
First of all it is terrible task to col
lect and evacuate the suffering
wounded In the British army the
medical corps stretcher bearers have
a greater per cent casualties than any
other branch.
Waste of Man Power.
1t would be waste of splendid
man power to expose such brave
men to such a great danger in order
to collect the dead. They would have
to be strong men to do the work at
all. And if they're strong enough,
armed with their unselfish courage,
why shouldn't they bring in the liv-
ing who still have chance to pull
through? 1t may sound callous, but
in the military mind such labor as
the Purple Cross wants to perform is
regarded as unnecessary.
From a sentimental standpoint the
idea doesn't appeal to our soldiers at
all.
A Toledo boy-gas expert now;
civilian three months ago-summed
the soldiers view of the sentiments
involved. Said he:
Anyway, / don't want to be sent
home if anything happens to me.
Bury me where / fall. 1t will be a
blow to my mother but she will al
ways be proud of me and that pride
will help her to get over the shock.
'Now, if that's the case, why
should someone carry me home after
about six weeks and make my moth
er go through it againw

court on the charge of forging checks
in the name of Mrs. Elizageth Dol
lar Bergfels said he wrote out the
checks with the woman's own con-
sent, and thus borrowed a little mon
ey from her, part of which he had
already paid back, and all of which
he would pay. He was released from
Jail late yesterday, but he is to ap-

day afternoon and report what prog
ress he has made in Strengthening
out the tangle.
the court yesterday afternoon Judge
Comstock asked him what he had
done in the way of helping the differ
ent agencies IN their assistance Of
the government Mr.. Busch said he
had subscribed monthly to the Red
Cross; that his children had all
joined the Junior Red Cross; but he
had not said much because he was
afraid it might be misconstrued, as
it had been before; SO he had not
said much in public He is to report
again to the court on February 16.
The court also asked. Hugh ]. Cook
what he had been doing to show his
loyalty. Cook said he had tried to
support his family. He said it took all
he made last year to pay his fine.
The weather had been so cold and
hard he had not been able to do any
thing except to work out of Minneap-
oils lately.
Between one and two o'clock this
afternoon tine grand jury was gath
cred back of the Hodges saloon,
where. a few days ago. the body OF
Will Scramlin was found under cir
cumstances that eventually led. to
the general belief that he had been
murdered. The ground was carefully
looked over.
