As the George Washington swung
out into the North river on a voyage
unprecedented in American history,
President and Mrs. Wilson stood on

to which passengers could climb. An
army band on the shore played "Over

With the President waving his hat
to cheering throngs aboard the river
crafts which crowded nearby waters.

served to- defend thousands of Amer
lean soldiers from German submarine
attacks.
The big ship backed more than
halfway across the river before she
turned and when two destroyers and
naval tug took her in escort for the
trip down the bay, the vancouver

sons crowding the route and upper
windows of New York skyscrapers
and piers on both sides Of the Hud-

LONDON, Dec. 4.-The Express
claims to be able to deny the report
from Berlin yesterday that a new ultf-
matum has been sent to the German
government because all the locomo-
tives to be handed over under the
terms of the armistice cannot be de-
livered at once.
The newspaper says that it is true
that Germany Is not keeping up to the
stipulated schedule and that Marshal
Foch has given warning that Germany
will be responsible for further delays,
but he has not fixed a time limit for
the carrying out of the clause relative
to railroad equipment.

CARDINAL GIBBONS.

Commenting editorially ON the
career of the late lamented Arch
bishop Of st. Paul, the leading
secular papers Of the nation re-
marked that, with one exception,
there was no other Catholic pre-
late in the history of America who
had done so much for the welfare
of both Church and State in this
country. That exception was the
venerable head of the Archdiocese
Of Baltimore, James Cardinal
Gibbons.
To few great churchmen in
modern times has it been given
to extend such powerful sway
over a nation as has been vouch-
safed to Cardinal Gibbons. Length
of years and splendor Of service
have been his. American by birth,
training, ideals and aspirations,
the venerable prelate has been a
most valued force in the progress
of religion and of national pros
perity. Endowed with far-seeing
vision and kindness Of DISPOSE
ton, the great Cardinal has been
enabled to lead his generation,
gently and surely, towards the re
alization of the lofty ideals of
American freedom.
One of the chief traits in the
career of Cardinal Gibbons has
been that always he has kept his
finger on the public pulse and has
diagnosed every malady even be.

came noticeable. He weighed the
genius of the American people
and gagged his every word and

ity of that genius.
When dark clouds lowered
threateningly upon the horizon
the Cardinal sensed their cause
and origin, and quickly pointed
out the best means for dissipating
them. When the country appear
ed on the verge of national con
vulsion through the troubles be
tween Labor and Capital, thu
Church was brought face to face
with one Of the greatest problems
in her history. It was Cardina

ADVICE GIVEN IN FAMILIAR STYLE
TO ECCLESIASTICAL STUDENTS
BY LATE ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.

For some weeks coming The Cath
| Ollie Bulletin will print on this page
excerpts from brief chapel talks on a
variety of subjects delivered by the
late Archbishop Ireland to his stu
| dents at st. Paul Seminary. The series
is copyrighted by the San Francisco
Monitor. All rights reserved)
The Philosophy of Style.
Professors of English at our univer-
stiles tell us it is simply astonishing
how poorly prepared in English stu
dents are when they come to the uni
versities after long college course.
want to impress upon you that there
is such thing as philosophy of
style. Style is the transcribing of
thoughts into words. Herbert Spencer
has written little book on style
which I wish you would read.
The two central points of his essay
are first, that the words should ex-
actly express your thought. They
should not fall below it nor go above
it. Words should be carefully select
ed to bring out just what you mean
to say. Secondly, the thought should
be expressed SO as to require the least
possible attention on the part of the
hearer or reader. Long involved SEN
fences in which the attention has to
be strained in order to catch the
meaning, must be avoided. Mark
Twain makes fun of the interminable

one end of a bridge, but whose mean
ing is forgotten when one has crossed
to the other end
Some writer's labor under the delu-
sion that piling up three or four big
adjectives is all right. They have a
certain facility in producing words,
and as long as they can write a good
deal they think it is splendid English.
One page of clear, lucid English is
worth any amount of such stuff We
seem to think that a page of simple
writing is very easy, but we forget
the immense labor it took to produce
this simplicity. That is where the
art comes in. .--. 81.
A composition is very much like a
picture. A Michael Angelo or a
Raphael does not produce a master
piece in day or week. They first
sit down and think out the whole
scene. Is it to be painting of the
Blessed Virgin? Then their magma
ton calls up a certain face express
ing purity, humility, etc. After this
is done thew begin to sketch the scene
selecting one central figure to which
all the others are subordinated. Then
they apply the colors. Sometimes
they have little too much here or
too little there. They change it and
try to make it one harmonious whole.
This is the work of year, perhaps,
of concentrated effort. Even then we
can afterwards see where they could
have done better.

SIGNAL BRAVERY
GREAT COURAGE WINS PROMO.
TON FOR CATHOLIC CHAPLAIN
AT THE FRONT.

Rev. Frederick ]. Mitchell, former
curate at st. Agnes Church, Paterson,
N. j., who is now an army chaplain
in France, has been promoted to the
rank of captain in recognition of his
signal bravery in action.
Father Mitchell learned of the pres
ence of some Americans just over a
ridge, and quietly announced his in
tention of going to the spot. One of
his superiors demonstrated: But,
Chaplain, the Germans are Smelling
that very spot this minute" to which
the daring Irish-American replied:
And some of my boys may be dying
out there at this very minute"
The next instant he started, and
while the officer watched, Father
Mitchell administrated extreme unc-
ton to the MORALLY wounded of his
own faith, prayed with and comforted
the other soldiers and read the burial
service over the dead, needless of the
shells that were bursting around him.
When the firing ceased and the woun-
ed were carried away, all the dead
we're buried with ample honors and
priestly blessing, he calmly returned
to his commanding officer, apparently
protected by Providence, for he
escaped without a scratch.

A GREAT INDULGENCE.

We urge that our readers do not
forget the Plenary Indulgence,
"Toties Quoties," which may be
gained for the Souls in Purgatory
on Saturday of next week, the
Commemoration of All Souls.
This great Indulgence was granted
by our late Holy Father Plus X
on June 25, 1914. 1t means that
all the faithful who receive Holy
Communion on either the Feast of
All Saints Or the Concentration
of All Souls may gain Plenary
Indulgence, applicable to the Souls
in Purgatory, as often as they visit
a church or public or semi-public
oratory any time between noon on
the Feast of All Saints to mid
night, Of All Souls Day, and there
pray for the intention of our Holy
Father. 1t is a wonderful Indul-
gence, a wonderful opportunity to
do something great for the Souls
in Purgatory. Our churches should
be crowded at every minute dur
ing those precious hours.
By an Apostolic constitution
dated August 10, 1915, Pope Bene-
dict XIV granted to all priests the
privilege Of offering three Masses
of Requiem on All Souls Day.

ton, D. c., said:
"The occasion was most solemn.
was impressed with the depth and
sincerity of grief that was every
where apparent. There was spon-
taneity in the tribute which all were
paying to the great Archbishop, which
seemed to distinguish his obsequies
from the funeral of every ecclesiastic
that l have ever attended. One could
not but feel that all we're conscious
that the greatest Bishop in America
was being laid to rest. Those of us
who were privileged to share in his
friendship felt with Archbishop Keane
that the world would never be quite
the same.

self went back to Chicago together

their best inspiration. We shall not

CALL THE PRIEST.

In view of the appalling in
crease Of sickness throughout the
country, it may not be amiss to
remind our Catholic people that
at the first symptom of illness they
should at once notify the parish
priest. The insidious and treach-
erous nature of certain forms OF
sickness frequently causes the pa
tient quickly to lapse into a state
Of Inconsistencies. In this case
the priest is handicapped in the
power of his ministrations, and
the sick man is treated unjustly.
For, although the sacrament of Elk.
IRENE Unction and the final alb
solution may be given, it is i'm.
possible for a Catholic who is un-
conscious to receive those two
other wondrous helps for his soul,
Penance and Holy Communion.

THE EPIDEMIC.

Reports from various parts Of
the country indicate that the pres
ent scourge of epidemic, which is
sweeping over the land, is increas-
ing in intensity and extent. Some
states, happily, already notice a
decrease in the violence Of the
malady.
Reports on every hand disclose
that priests and Sisters have
thrown themselves unreservedly
into the midst of danger. The
Archbishop of Philadelphia, for
example, has offered every do
cesar resource to the health au-
thorities of that city. This also
has been done in other places. Ac-
cording to a report from the Blu
reau of Health in Philadelphia,
this Catholic aid has been the
greatest vital factor in combating
the spread of the epidemic.
From every part of this country,
north, east, south and west, come
reports of priests who have fallen
victims, in the line of duty, to
this terrible scourge. One diocese
alone last week reported eight
deaths from this cause among it's
clergy. Almost every Catholic ex-
change that comes to our desk
tells of one or more deaths among
the local clergy from the same
cause. Sisters are serving the
stricken in hospitals and in private
homes. In every case the thought
uppermost in the mind of both
priest and nun is to relieve suffer.

WORK OF THE NUNS.

One of the characteristic traits
Of the Catholic nun is her retiring
modesty and her dislike of pub
licity. The very nature Of her
profession demands that all her
work and her thoughts be center
ed directly in Almighty God. At
the same time, she is ever ready
and willing promptly to admin
lister to the needs of Gods chill
dren, realizing that in this work
she is best showing her love for
God. II q tE 81,
While great deal has been
said of the noble and self-sacri-
ficing work Of lay nurses in hos
pital and on battlefield, very lit
tie news has ben transmitted
through the press to tell of the
part which the Sisters are play
ing in the great struggle. From
time to time we are told that this
or that nun has been decorated for
courage and fidelity to duty.
These frequent references indi-
cate to some extent the part
which these holy women are up
holding in the midst of world
dangers.
An exchange now tells us that
it has been officially announced
that there are fifteen thousand
Sisters of Charity serving with
the fighting forces on the various
battle-fronts. To this could be
added the many thousands of de-
voted women belonging to other
Communities who are sacrificing
themselves in the cause Of human
ity and religion.
With a thrill of pride we write
the record. We write it not to
break through the silence which
religion imposes-but that the
world may know that the
daughters of the Church stand
side by side with her sons in the
deeds of heroism and patriotism.
They who would Danish the
lgarb of the gentle Sister from
the schools must feel a pang of
remorse when they behold the
silent thousands, CARRIED in the
sacred garb Of religion, sacrificing
themselves in camp, in hospital,
on the fields furrowed with shrap-
mel and bomb.
But the soldier lad, when he re-
turns from the wars, will know.
No veteran of our Civil War
but bowed in reverence before
the silent nun. He learned her
worth where most was demanded
And all his life long he became
her champion.
All honor to the unheralded
thousands!

GENERAL PERSHING.

An anti-war-prohibitio advances
the plausible argument, "If American
soldiers are doing so we'll in Europe
with beer and light wines, why are we
making such frantic endeavor to Sc
cure through Congress the prohibition
of these beverages?"
"Dr. Daniel Polling, who has recent
ly returned from visit to the Euro
pean war zone, answers this question
very satisfactorily in a statement as
to General Pershings policy in this
matter In a interview with the edi-
tor of The Temperance Cause, of Bos-
ton, DR.. Polling remarked:
81 was constantly surprised by the
fact that with light wines always
served in French cities where expe-
dictionary forces were billeted under
joint military control, there was not
more drunkenness. In the commun-
tiles which | visited where we are in
entire control no wines are used. Yet
you understand there has been no
order issued against light wines.
However, General Pershing is indie
fatigable in the matter, as this in
stance will illustrate: In a city where
French and Americans were in joint
control there were three wine shops.
The American engineers were re-
ported drinking. The General investI-
gated, and then ordered all the shops
closed. | saw our men under all con-
ditions, going over the top and on
their return from the attack. There
was absolutely no drinking. There
was no rum ration issued to them.
did not see a single American soldier
under the influence of liquor in public
places. The three whom / did see
were in the guardhouse."
This statement from one who has
made a very careful first-hand inves-
tigation recently is indisputable proof
of General Pershing's uncompromising
attitude toward the liquor evil as af.
fecting military efficiency, and fur
nishes an unanswerable argument for
war prohibition. ee

OBEY THE LAW.

Bishops, clergymen and news
papers of various denominations,
and of none, have questioned here
and there the wisdom Of closing
the churches while leaving other
places Of assembly open during
this epidemic. All, this discussion
is purely academic, and it is per-
fectly lawful. When, however,
the lawful authorities order
churches or othersplaces closed to
safeguard public health, it is the
duty of every one concerned to
follow the injunction The only
course to pursue, afterfhe order
comes, is to OBEY THE LAW!
