THE "Y" AT IT AGAIN

from Dr. Motifs secretary to me, a
copy of which is enclosed, states
that this pamphlet was published at
the suggestion of the United States
War Department, Morale Branch, Cen
eral Staff
Il cannot believe that this pamphlet
has come to your notice for | cannot
believe that you would suggest, much
less authorize, any statement regard
ing the war which usually Honized
Great Britain and absolutely omitted
any mention of the decisive share of
the United States in the triumph of
the allied powers.
None of us would deny the allies
credit and glory for their part in the
great war, but no true account of the
war, however brief, should omit at
least to mention the fact that without
our aid the war had been lost to the
allies. Your Honor knows full well

New Church to be Dedicated

design. All the woodwork in the
church, including affairs, pews, choir
loft, baptistry, etc., is of fumed oak.
Back of the main altar is a massive
reredos containing eleven panels.
Among the Saints depicted in these
panels are SIS. Jerome, Gregory,
Ambrose, Athanasius, Mark, and Eliza
beth of Hungary. High up in the
back wall of the sanctuary is an i'm
mense window containing small pam
els of stained glass. The statues on
the various affairs are all hand
carved oak, the work of Mr.. l. Kersch-
meyer, the noted artist of Boston.
The sanctuary is 81 feet wide, 80 feet
deep and so feet high. The Com
munion railing is one hundred feet
long. The pulpit, also of fumed oak,
is built into the wall at the Gospel
side and is rich in it's simplicity.
Seven large clusters of lights are
suspended from the ceiling on each
side of the main body of the church.
The Stations of the Cross are oil
paintings of special design made for
this church and are enclosed in
frames of fumed oak. On either side
of the sanctuary is a large sacristy
and winter chapel
A door from the Gospel side of the
church leads into the bapistry which
is a unique work of art, both in it's
form and in it's furnishings. The choir
loft is large and roomy, and contains
a considerable number of opera
chairs, in five tiers, arranged in semi
circular form. The new organ, which
contains sixteen hundred pipes, will
be heard for the first time next Sun
day morning. An immense window,
to cost $4,000, will throw a flood of
light on the choir and organ.
All the furnishings of the church,
including stained glass windows,
organ, confessionals, affairs, etc., have
been donated by parishioners. Both
the pastor, Rev. ]. A. Corrigan. and
the people of St. Marks parish are
to be congratulated upon the splendid
edifice. The best proof of the zeal
and cooperation between pastor and
people is found in the fact that since
1911, the parish has been enriched by
three exceptionally fine buildings, the
school, church and rectory.

ITALIAN POPULAR PARTY
ITALY HAS A NEW CATHOLIC
PARTY AN A w X W A D MO.
MENT-PRosPEcTs ARE VERY
BRIGHT.

Two days after the first general
meeting of the Italian Popular party,
the Orlando government was beaten
in the chamber and resigned. The
two things have nothing to do with
one another. 1t is a pure coincidence
that they happened in the same week.
A result has been that the first Cath
olic minister, Signor Media, has gone
out of Office with the government; but
on the other hand, the new ministry
contains one of the group of Cath
olics who were deputies. He does
not join the government, however, as
a Catholic" but as one of the Italian
Popular party.
This new organization, then, has
not had long to wait before getting
to work. 1t has share in the gov
eminent of the country from the mo-
ment of it's birth
On the whole, the new party got
through its big formation meeting at
Bologna very satisfactorily. 1t was
difficult occasion. A few days be-
fore the meeting Father Gemelli and
another priest had published long
article, urging more specifically
Catholic direction for the party. 1t
is, of course, a Catholic party, but the
Holy See has no responsibility, nor
are its members going into Parlia-
ment to preach the Gospel literally.
On the other hand, the basis of their

standing of those present as to what
the object of the party is.

Supreme Advocate Joseph G. Pei
letter, of the Knights of Columbus, has
taken issue vigorously with Secretary
of War Newton d. Baker over a
pamphlet entitled, "Some Facts About
the British" issued by the National
War Work Council of the Y. M, G. A..
Mr.. Pelletier, who is District Attorney
of Boston, took prominent part in
raising the United War Work Fund,
part of which fund, he presumes
upon good reason, was used to publish
the pamphlet in question.
In letter to DR.. John R. Mott,
General Secretary of the Y. M. c. A.,
Mr. Pelletier challenged the right of
the Y. nj. c. A. to issue pamphlet
of substantial size-13 pages-glorify-
ing the British, attributing full vic
tory in the war to them, and saying
not a word concerning Americas $
contribution.
DR.. Mott did not reply to Mr.. Pelle-
tier. He referred the K. OF {. OIL
cial's letter to the War Department,
and from the War Department Cap
tain Harold e. Potter replied to the
Y. NJ. C. A, that the pamphlet was
published at the suggestion of the
War Department to advise enlisted
Americans concerning the part
played by the British Empire in the
War with Germany Thereupon Mr..
Pelletier clinched the case by writing
the following emphatic letter to Sec
rotary Baker:

OLD TIMER SOLVES THE
FUEL PROBLEM

Julesburg, Colo, Dec. s, 1919.
To The Grit-Advocate Readers:
I see by the Grit-Advocate that fuel
is scarce. As have lived IS years on
the open plains and miles to any
wood and 100 miles from q railroad,
and have pulled through on weeds and
trash with No. 8 cook stove. We used
a wash boiler. We tramped it full of
any trash or weeds we could get, took
off the two lids from over the fire box
and turned the boiler bottoms side-up
and "lit" it and turned the damper
down so it was easy to keep warm.
think the thisels would be just
the thing for they are surely oily and
make a good fire and this way are
easily handled, and easy to get. We
had a sheet iron boiler scanned togeth-
er without solder, so it would not
come apart from the heat.

sure will make hot fire when you
get next to using them. ! have baked
corn bread and many 1G-pound
goose with only willows. Part Of the
willows dried in the oven. So save
the posts and buildings and try my
plan. There are willows enough or

lies.
Yours truly.

A new enterprise which is now
practically assured for Julesburg is

of the enterprise.

asset to the business interests, and
with this in mind, subscription pap
er was circulated the latter part of
last week for the purpose of securing
funds to procure site, it being gener-
ally signed by the business men and
citizens

thing in readiness to commence the

THERE'S CONSOLATION IN
ALL THINGS JUST THE SAME

Last year we had the flu; this year
the coal strike-next year it will be
the election. Seems as though there
is trouble all the while. but being ar
optimist these days is the best policy.
We mustn't forget that every dark
cloud has a silver lining. During
the present cold spell, storm and coal
shortage. there is one consolation
and that is the abundance Of moisture
which this section is receiving. which
means splendid crop conditions. The
ground fortunately was not frozen be-
fore it was covered with blanket of
snow. and the soil will receive a full
quota Of moisture.

TRAIN SERVICE CURTAILED
ON ACCOUNT OF STRIK E

As measure to conserve coal,
train service on the Union Pacific has
been curtailed to some extent this
week. Passenger trains Nos. 3 west
and 10 east have been discontinued
extra sections of passengers trains
Nos. 10, 90, 8 and have been discon-
tinued. The local freights between
Julesburg and North Platte have been
cut down to every other day and the
local freight service between here and
Sterling has been cut down to twice

shortage condition whether or not a
further curtailment in train service
will be effected.
