OF Columbus could not affiliate more
closely and he believed that out n
the war would come a better ane
permanent Understanding. Politics
mad not been adjourned for l4i
years n might not be for lat years
more. But 1t had seemed Impossible
TO get religious factions to coalesce
he could see, however, an end OF dill
1erences. 1t was a mistake to sup
pose that we are not a fighting ma
ton. We proved it when we fought
among ourselves. We conquered the
forest and the Great American
desert. We were going to prove that
we are the greatest fighters on earth
IN this war, The speaker a az
ready endorsed the knights OF Co
lumbus wal activities and this drive
in speeches made in the previous
week or ten days. He would be glad
to endorse it to every Masonic body
In the state Of New Mexico and II
necessary write a personal appeal to
every Mason in the state"
MONEY SPEAKS LouDEsT;
HoLLoMAN's VIEW
Judge Reed Holloman was of the
opinion that, no matter how earnest
ly and sincerely, we might all ap-
prove the purpose of the plan, IT
would be ineffective unless talk We're
the foundation for money. He Thought
before the supper was closed, every
person present should subscribe and
literally to the drive. He had fig
ured up recently and found that he
had only given about 10 per cent OF
his assets to war purposes, because
Liberty Bonds, the best investment
on earth, did not count. AT That rate
he would not go broke for nine
years more" He was, however, will
ing ito go broke tomorrow rather
than have a single Hun think that
because I did not give to the knights
of Columbus Or some other cause by,
just that much | was not upholding
the u of my country" The Judge
some years ago had read a copy II
the Menace, which was rightly
named" The best answer, the con-
elusive answer to such charges Is
the roll of the army and navy and
the wonderful work the knights ct
Columbus are doing for the boys over
SELIGMAN
URGES COOPERATION
Arthur Seligman, speaking as a
representative business men" thought
the cause which was being presented
at the supper was one Of the
worthiest which had arisen as a re-
suit of tine war. He had told his
son on leaving home that the
knights Of Columbus were working
for all the soldiers OF the United
States and that he would be ashamed
any man who would not cooperate
with them or give to the excellent
Undertaking which they were carry
on.
DIFFERENCES GONE
SAYS JUDGE ROBERTS
Justice Clarence ]. Roberts, of the
supreme court, believed that
he American people have been knit
together by this war so that
previous lines N serious difference
nave disappears. He personally
Judge Tblloman mad set too
ong a time, mini years, in wnicn TO
30 broke and d. was sure that, If il
,ame to that, very person present
would be willing to give his all now
{ necessary to prevent the stoppage
If such work as the Knights of Co.

Comfort For the 6ereaved
Colonel Twitchell arose again to
mention a matter which he had for
,otten in mis- original remarks and
which Toastmaster Davies was par
icularly anxious to have brought out.
t was we'll known that a private is
mentioned in general dis
atches, 'but we all know what

ION means" Some times n had

earful suspense. The private never
