Canada and the Empire.


Omaha, Oct. 1s.-To the Editor of
The Bee. Up to the present over
100000 Britishers have made the su-
preme sacrifice. The first three
years of the conflict has convinced
British statesmen that the agricul-
tural development Of Canada is q vi
tai necessity for the future welfare
Of the British empire.
THOMAS HENRY WATKINS.
Locating the Peace Council.
Omaha, Oct. 1s,-To the Editor Of
The Bee: I saw in one Of the local
daily issues that there is some posi-
bility that the world peace congress
will meet for that purpose in Brus-
sells, Belgium. Inasmuch as peace Is
coming, the world will be interested
as to the place where the peace dele
CATION shall congregate to ratify the
terms that will be called peace
terms.
Some one might say that It does
not matter where that body shall as
semble, since peace comes. II does
matter. 1t matters where the sun
rises and where 1t sets. God knew
that Now that peace is coming, and
let none dare call 1t mans peace;
worlds peace, the peace Of democ-
racy; but let it be called Gods
peace, for He says that in this world
we shall have tribulation, but In Him
we shall have peace. This being
true, let us not have our minds upon
some big, outstanding and loud
sounding city; but. let US seek
lowly place. simple perhaps in its
outstanding feature. but lofty in its
history. Let that place be Jerusalem
of Judea-the Holy
Land. where the Prince Of Peace
was born, and so start that peace
rolling that shall not stop until the
peaceful atmosphere shall be such
that the lion-like spirit among men
shall assume that lamb-like nature,
and study waTno more.

TODAY
Right In the Spotlight.


Prince Gregory Lvoff, who Is re-
ported on his way to the United
States from Japan, is the Russian
statesman who assumed temporary
direction of the government of Rus
STA after the fall of Gar Nicholas.
Considerable interest and import
ance is certain to be attached to the
visit OF Prince Lvoff at this time,
though 1t is not known whether he
is coming in private or official
capacity. Long liberal in his SYM
pathies, he has yet managed to re-
tain the respect of the more conser-
vative and exclusive classes of Rus
STA, and thus he can, at this juno
ture, mediate as few men can. Be-
ing of straight Slovenian stock, his
prestige is enhanced by this fact.
Previous to heading the govern
ment after the overthrow of the
car, he had been the founder and
chief factor in the Union of Zem-
stovs, or county councils.

Samuel Gompers, president Of the

Today is "Bastille Day." which,
in France, corresponds to our
Fourth of July" A day set
aside to celebrate National indie
pendence or, if you please, rule
"of the people, by the people, for
the people"
The French people adopted our
Fourth Of July and helped the
Yanks in their country to cele-
brate it in true American style.
Let US return our thanks by OBJ
serving "Bastille Day." Let's dis
play the Tri-color alongside of
Old Glory today and all through
this week.
General Pershing has issued an
order to the troops in France for
a fitting observance of the day.
Almost q hundred cities of
America have signifed their in
tention of observing the day.
through special celebrations.
Let the display Of the Tri-color
be the most remarkable demon
stration ever seen of a nations
appreciation of what another ma
ton has done in the service of
liberty.

Pope Advises Preachers
HOLY FATHER INSISTS ON RE-
CENT DECREE ADVICE TO
LENTEN SPEAKERS IN ROME.

His Holiness gave the customary
audience to the Lenten preachers of
Rome in February. In the address
which he delivered to them the Holy
Father said that fresh in their mem
ory should be the Encyclical on Sa-
cred Preaching recently issued and
the rules laid down. Therefore they
had the first opportunity of putting
into practice these authoritative in
structions.
Also they would have read the Can
on of the new code on the Office of
the preacher What that meant was
that he must preach the Gospel, all
the Gospel and nothing but the Cos
pei All, in that he must not confine
himself to what may be pleasing to
his congregation, but must remind the
people of what divine justice is and
their responsibility before it. Nothing
but the Gospel, keeping their eyes
fixed, that is, on the truths contained
in Holy Writ, never .ceasing to think
of them, never wandering an inch out
side of them. And from the Gospel
they must draw and expound due les
sons of theory and practice, summed
up in the words faith and morals.
The Holy Father hoped that the voice
of the preachers of Rome would go
beyond the walls of the city, that,
founded on the principles recently
laid down, it's influence might pene
trate the world.

SISTERS ARE HONORED
AMBULANCE NUNS DECORATED
WITH "RoYAL RED" CROSSES.

An interesting letter has been re-
ceived from the superioress of the
Sisters of the Presentation serving in
Mesopotamia. 1t describes a cere-
mony which took place there some
time ago when three of the Sisters
of the ambulance corps were deco
rated by the British Authorities" the
late General Maude officiating, with
the Royal Red Cross, the highest dis
tinction conferred on women.
The grand court of the classes was
decorated with French and British
flags and with palms, the gallery was
filled with 900 pupils of the Sisters,
and the guests included the military
staffs of the allied armies and the
matrons from all the hospitals. Gen
eral Maude, who died eight days
later, pinned the cross, in gold and
garnets, on the breast of the superior
ess, and then gave the cross of the
second class to Sister Madeline, in
charge of the Civil hospital, and to
Sister Ado1phe, who occupied herself
exclusively with the English troops.
