The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1918-08-03

A very pleasant and informal gath
ering of the Irish American Club was
held at the Nicollet Hotel on Monday
evening last, in compliment to Fred
V. Milan on the eve of his departure
for France to take part in the war
welfare work of the Knights of Column
bus. Mr.. Milan, besides being an ac-
tive X. of G. man is member of
Division No. 8 of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians, the st. Vincent de Paul
Society, and several other fraternal
and charitable organizations. He has
always Served as "wheelhorse'' in
the many patriotic and religious &C.
tivities which have been undertaken
in the city during the last few years.
His more intimate friends and asso-
ciates therefore deemed it fitting that
his departure for the participation in
the great welfare work of the K. of G.
should be observed with a modest
mark of their appreciation of his spirit
of self-sacrifice and patriotism. Fellow
members of the several organizations
of which he is a member were in
charge of the assemblage. Mr.. ]. G.
Sheehan, presided as POSTMASTER and
short but spirited addresses were de-
l;vered by A. H. Silb, representing the
Irish Standard; P. j. Sheehan, DR.. ].
M. Fox, DR.. J. Clancy, Ed. Quinn,
Stephen Dalton, Francis Cribby, M. G.
ODonnell, Esq, James Shaunnessy
and H. G. Mcmahon.
Mr.. Milan was, of course, called upon
to repond to the many flattering COM
pliments offered in the course of the
speeches, and expressed his heartfelt
appreciation of the evidence Of good
will and fellowship of the occasion.
He hoped to be able to contribute his
modest "bit" to the great American
and Allied victory which must be
achieved before his return. He prom
Used to convey to the boys at the
front the assurance of the support
that they are to continue to receive
from their civilian brothers and the
cheering messages of confidence in
the triumph of the cause of democrat
cy.
Mr. Stephen Dalton introduced a
resolution which was unanimously
adopted that provision be made to
supply generous weekly distribution
of copies of the Irish Standard in those
sectors of the front line where there
are large numbers of the soldiers
from the Northwest
Mr. Milan also promised that he
would, as far as possible, maintain a
regular correspondence with the Stand
ard, dealing with the special activities
of the K. or c. work and other matters
of special interest to the people Of
the Northwest.
Mr.. Milan enters his new field of
labor as volunteer in response to
the call of the Executive Officers in
charge of the K. of G. war welfare
work. He is admirably fitted by rea-
son of his genial disposition and
CHEEKY nature for this line of work
He is untiringly Jealous in any move
ment which engages his attention
and sympathy, and "goes to it" with
the full driving power of his brain
on1 hoort &c Ivy
known to large number of the men
in the fighting forces especially to
those from Minnesota. His executive
ability and friend-making qualities
will constitute valuable asset to the
K. of G. forces, and are quite likely
to win for him high rank among it's
executives.

CHARLOTTE CORDAY

iOf anniversaries there is no end, and many Of them
pass unnoted. But just now, while France occupies such
a prominent place in the shaping Of history, and while
her own stormy past is being recalled by SO many, it Is
interesting to note that the 9th Of July, 1918, is the
15oth anniversary Of the birth Of Charlotte Corday, the
young woman who plunged her knife into the side Of
Marat, the head Of the Terrorists in 1898, and, in sac
rincins her own life. removed the man who was popu-
larly considered the incarnation Of the spirit Of red
revolution which had overrun Paris.
The estimates which are placed by modern stud
ents on the individuals who were connected with the
French revolution differ materially from the estimates
generally placed on them by their own contemporaries
Time has softened prejudices. and has brought better
knowledge. It is not necessary at this moment to strike
a precise balance between the conceptions of today and
those of a former century. But is It worth while to
remainder that there was dominant in France more than
a century ago a spirit Of exalted patoriotisn, and Of calm
resolution which found expression then In the act OF
Corday, and that this same spirit had been
through the years, and is again finding exc
preston among the people. on the battle line, In the
homes. and wherever the Trench people are to be found

FOUR YEARS OF WAR

The world has been four years at war, and the end
is not in sight. After four years the war which many
of us thought could scarcely last longer than the first
summer is just approaching the real test of strength.
Whether we consider the war actually to have begun:
with the Austrian ultumatum to Serbia on July %,
Austria's declaration of war against Serbia on July %,
or the firing Of the first shot by Austria on July 20, the
last week Of July, 1914, will forever be memorable as
marking the. beginning Of the worlds greatest war.
Many Of us supposed that the world was too wise
ever again to permit a great war, and that the deadli-
ness OF modern weapons and the costliness Of modern
military operations made another great war, and especi-
ally a long war, a physical and economic impossiblity.
There were many predictions that If the present war
were not decided on the field within that time, it would
wear itself out within, six months. Kitchener's warning
to the British empire that IT must prepare for at least
three years Of war which would tax all its resources was
quite commonly accepted by the world as the pronounce
ment Of the trained soldier who could see nothing out
side OF his own profession. We have exceeded Kitcn-
eners minimum by a year. and not only us the end not
IN sight, but the crisis Of the war has not been reached.
It may be useful at this time. when the appearance
of American troops on the fighting line in considerable
numbers. and their participation in important battles
have keyed up the expectations Of the American people,
- glance back over some OF the events OF the past four
years 10 recall the expectations which were based on
3 cursory view Of them. and to note. just how these ex-
Yectations have been met

FRANCE TO AMERICA

There has just been brought to the attention Of The
Herald a letter which was written by Louis XVI OF
france TO President George Washington, Of the United
States. one hundred and twenty-eight years ago. The
terms vsed are such as are now being used between the
two countries, and the expressions of friendship are prac.
tfcally identical with those which we are now familiar
The letter reads
To our very dear friends and Allies. the
President and Members of the General Congress
Of the United States of North America.
Very Dear Great Friends and Allies:-we
have received the letter by which you inform us
Of the new mark Of confidence that you have
shown to Mr.. Jefferson, and which puts a period
to his appointment of minister plenipotentiary
to Our Court.
The manner in which he conducted during
his residence with us has merited our esteem
and entire appreciation, and it is with pleasure
that we now give him this testimony of it.
! 1t Is with the most sincere pleasure that we
embrace this opportunity Of renewing these as
surances of regard and friendship which we \
Il feel for the United. States in general and for
each Of them in particular. Under their inhu-
ence we pray God that He will keep you, very
dear friends and Allies, under His holy ands
benef1cent protection.
