A Conference Held in New York Last
Week-Many Learned of the Elab-
crate Plans for Big Drive.

New York, Oct. 1.-Taking advan-
tage of their presence in New York on
the occasion of the funeral of the late
Cardinal Farley, many of the arch
bishops and bishops of the United
States called at the National Catholic
War Councils campaign headquarters,
to confer with Bishop Muldoon, Chair
man of the Administrative Committee,
concerning the plans now under way
to ensure full Catholic participation
in the United War Work Drive. Many
also visited the headquarters of the
knights of Columbus, where they
were delighted by what they learned
of the details of the great work that
Is being done in the camps and over
seas. His Eminence Cardinal O'Con-
nell, after inspecting Knights of Co
lumbus headquarters, paid a visit to
the staff at the National Catholic War
Council campaign headquarters, where
arrangements for the holding of four
teen conferences, one in each ecclc-
siastical Province, were at the mo-
ment under discussion. His Eminence
showed great interest in the plans,
and in the course of Il brief address
urged the campaign workers to pro-
coed with vigor and assurance, with
every confidence that the Catholic
Church in America was ready and
determined to bear its full part in the
United War Work Campaign.
When the decision in favor of a
single drive was made, a considerable
number of State conferences had al
ready been arranged, and it was nee
essary on very short notice to secure
adequate Catholic representation at
these conferences. The members of
Hierarchy ir the districts where the
conferences were held were appealed
to with the result that at all these
conferences Catholic archbishop or
, bishop was one of the principal speak.
ers, and considerable Catholic dele
cation was present which at once
began participation in the United War

time, therefore. the National Catholic
War Council had established it's rep

SACRIFICE THE THING
Word Is True Definition of Patri-
0tiSm
Assertion of Sergeant Davis, Speaker
In Ninth District Fourth Lib
erty Bond Campaign.

Sergeant Leslie w. Davis, who halls
from Kentucky, and is a veteran of the
Philippines and Cuba and of the
trenches in France and who is q
speaker on the war exhibit trains
touring the Ninth Federal District, is
q reticent man in private life but once
he starts talking war he brings the
Liberty Loan money out Of hiding
places in golden stream.
Davis answered the call to the
Colors in August. 1917, and went to
France in December with Co. E, 21
Engineers and saw active service all
along the line, but gas and shell-shock
temporarily wound up his fighting ca.
reer and he was shipped home to
talk for Liberty Loans.
When he landed in Ninth District
headquarters, Minneapolis, he did not
act like speaker for he simply gave
his name and credentials and said he
was ready for service. An effort was
made to get him to talk but nobody
could get rise out of him. Finally
he was asked point blank:
Davis, what do you say to man
who could afford to buy a Liberty
bond and doesn't?"
The fire leaped to his eyes, his hair
seemed to bristle, he bounded out of
his chair and launched into an extern
poraneous grafton which trilled every
one in district headquarters. When
Davis was through the tears were
running down his checks, he was shak-
ing like leaf, and it was necessary
to lead him to a chair. No one re-
members all he said but they all
remember his last sentence:
"The true definition Of patriotism
is sacrifice"

Heroic Death Of Youngest

He was the youngest man in his
regiment and his colonel thinks he
was the youngest man in all the A.
E. F.
In the regiment they are talking
these days of all the good pals they
lost in the fierce, unforgettable chase
they gave the Germans in the great
retreat from the Marine. But most of
ala little often and bit more
fondly-they talk of Scotty.
"He was a good kid they say, "and
he died on his gun"
Scotty was only Is and still going to
high school back in Brookline when
war came to America and he held up
high his hand Though he stood no
more than five feet six, though his
fair hair was curly and very boyish,
though his mother probably wondered
how even an over-worked recruiting
officer could ever have mistaken him
for a grown-up, he was husky enough
to pass the IS years he boldly
claimed.
Eager to Go, and He Went
Afterwards, there was some worried
suggestions that he'd better stay home
| with his folks, but there were SO many
| men in the outfit who knew the fam
lily, 80 many officers his father knew,
above all he himself was so pleadingly
eager to go, that when, one fine day
in September, the regiment sailed
away, Scotty, barrack bag, rifle, mess
kit and all were slowed away in the
hold with the rest.
In all his soldering, Scotty never
appeared on sick report, was never
late at formation, never hid from
dirty details. 1t was only once i'm a
while that the older heads in the COM
pany were reminded how very young
he was.
They could not help thinking of it
when they found that the birthday he
was celebrating one bleak November
day in the monoto9ous training area
somewhere in France was only his
sixteenth. Nor when they realized he
never knew the pride of using that
shiny razor which had been thought
lessly doled out to him along with his
housewife and shoe brush in the camp
back home. Nor when Christmas
came and brought with it for Scotty

aunts, who had forgotten it was a

On such occasions the company
commander was worried over his re-
sponsibility, and one day he formally
appointed the supply sergeant as
guardian. The sergeant saw to it
that he wrote home regularly, went
to Mass every Sunday and gave every
buvette wide, wide path. Not that
he needed watching, for, as the supply
sergeant said, there never was a better
kid than Scotty.
