OUR WORKING GIRLS.

The war has been throwing still
more innocent and unprotected girls
into forms of work sometimes afro
ciously ill-ftted to them. One sees
now, in increasing numbers, young
girls at tasks which bring them into
contact with every form of tempta-
ton and corruption. The Grass COM
mercialism of the age, which has to be
prevented by law from sacrificing
young children to Moloch, now
reaches forth it's powerful claws for
the young girls of the nation. Few
things are more pathetic to one who
understands their situation than the
sight of these tender girls, fresh, in
nocent, and ignorant of the world and
| its dangers, mixing with the corrupt
| throngs of men, exposed to constant
temptation, sometimes without the
least instruction or warning.
| And even where the girls work at
safe and becoming occupations they
are sometimes tdreadfully underpaid.
Because they are girls, and therefore
not able to exert themselves, they re-
ceive a sum not sufficient for the
necessarfes of life. This in itself, as
has been often pointed out, is a fear.
full moral danger.
But what is most amazing in the
whole situation is the apathy Of good
women towards these most defense
less of their. sex. How mothers can
rsee the systematic exploitation of in
nocent girlhood in office, factory and
store, without an indignant protest
is more than one can understand
| After all the fate of these girls is in
the: hands of good women. If the
/ mothers of the land were to unite in
an arraignment Of the men who grow
rich on the lives Or the happiness OF
girls the evil would soon be eradi
Gated.

BEST PROVISION FOR HAPPY
DEATH.

The supreme wisdom of life is to
know how to meet God at the last
hour. Learn that wisdom now, says
Father Walter Elliott, C. S. P, in the
Missionary, by forming a custom of
frequent Communion. This will make
your whole existence a golden chain
of acts of divine love, all the more
fervent because blended with those of
Christ Himself in the Eucharist.
Make the journey Of life in company
with Our Lord, if you would be sure
OF a happy homecoming. When our
risen Saviour appeared to- the two
disciples on the road to- Emmaus, their
eyes We're held SO that they mistook
Him for an ordinary nilgrim; mean
while He cheered them and instructed
them by His conversation. And at
last this Stranger, so wise and SO
kind, was revealed to them as the
Son of God, Himself, revealed ''in the
breaking of bread" When He had dis

journey, Jesus at frequent intervals

SECRET OF FocH's VICTORIES.


Father Lockquell, a Canadian priest
of the Archdiocese of Quebec, had
lodged, for some time during the
spring, in General Foch's residence.
He had the happiness of giving Holy
Communion to the general and to his
wife. Madame Foch told him the fol
lowing story: 81
I. During the dark hours of spring the
English line was completely broken
This was a setback, that could easily
have developed into a disaster Foch
betooH himself to the spot and meas
ured the extent Of the danger. He
asked for the Cure of the little village
and begged him to gather the children
of his parish in the. public. square

drawn up, the General gave an order

During a silence, that contrasted
with the thousand detonations of the
war, the deep voice of the general
.alternated with the sweet prayer of
the priest and the vibrant answers of
the children. Their prayer assembled
to the very wound in the Sacred
Heart. When it was finished the gen
eral dismissed his recruits, and or

TRIUMPH OF CHRIST.

ures Of NEAL Matt. xiii, 31-35.)
In the Gospel assigned by the
Church for the twenty-sixth Sunday
after Pentecost, Jesus teaches in par
able the triumph of the Church and
the zeal of her Founder. Clothing
these sacred truths in the figures of
the mustard seed and the leaven, He
lays bare things hidden from the
foundation of the world In the
early days of His public life Jesus
preaching in Judea spoke directly to
the people, both to enemies and to
friends. In the second year of His
public life the Master for time
abandoned the precincts Of Judea and
first disciples. His coming to the
fishing stations of Genesareth was
fastened by the untimely death of
the Baptist, who had at this time
made the supreme sacrifice for the
Kingdom of God. The scenery of Gal
lilee in its natural beauty had a charm
| for the heart of the Lord. The man
ners and customs of the people, ap-
pealed in their simplicity to His soul
Here were means of conveying His

would understand Thus does He re-
turn to the parable in teaching His
! followers, that His throne shall rule
them and shall lead them to the foun-

Does any one In Indiana recall q
prophecy published In this state some
thirty or thirty-flve years ago, purport-
Ing to be vision seen by q farmer
living near q small Indiana town, who
went out one day to rise Of ground
near his house to look around him
and. while standing there. the events
he predicted passed before his eyes,
APPARENTLY against the distant sky?
The prophecy was printed in pamph.
let form, bound in light blue paper, by
the local newspaper press, and was
rrefaced by a letter signed by the
councilmen Of the town certifying that
they knew the narrator to be a hard
working, truthful man and good citi.
zen. This was followed by an ex-
plantation that he farmer had never
before had any occult experiences and
was SO frightened by this vision of
events-tocome that he was afraid for
several days to speak about 1t, lest he
should be thought to be losing his
mind. He finally told his wife, how
ever, and to his relief she seemed to
take it seriously and urged him to
write out just what he had seen. Later
on, friends persuaded him to publish
the account
A copy of the pamphlet fell into the
hands of woman, a resident Of an.
other state some fifteen years ago, who
lost It without noting the name or
town. So much Of the prophecy has
come true in the interval, and so much
OF 1t seems impending in the hurried
march of events of late years, that The
Star is asked to make this inquiry in
the hope of finding some clew that
will lead to the recovery of a copy.
The story of the possessor OF the
pamphlet, how lost, is told herewith.

and without keel, the War Dream
would be a nightmare to the sailor
of the old school The bows come
nearer to the look Of an ordinary ship
than any other part Of the hull, as
they taper to point to enable the
vessel to cut through the waves. The
War Dream is the outcome Of war
necessities. The various parts were
built in different factories, all over
England and Ireland, and assembled
at the shipyard. The ships officers
say that their vessel behaved at sea
just like others of more conventional
design, but that when running light
in heavy sea the fiat bottom banged
OF the sea with jolt which took
quite lot of getting used to.
