The Rev. ThOmas Corners
of Milwaukee Delivers Me-
mOrable Lenten Sermon
At st. James Churcis.
"NOW IS ACCEPTED time"
Noted Jesuit Urges Kenosha Audience
Not To Forget Religious Lessons
Taught by the Great war-First
of Series of Lenten Sermons.

That religious preparedness was the
lesson for the individual from the ex-
periences of the Great War, was the
theme of an inspiring and interesting
sermon preached Sunday evening at the
st. James Church by the Rev. Thomas
Connors, professor in the Arts and
Science Department Of Marquette Uni
versity in Milwaukee and member of
the Society of Jesus. The large audi
forum of the church was crowded with
parishioners to hear the first of a series
of six Lenten sermons which are to
be delivered by the Jesuit priest
in Kenosha.
The speaker recalled how before
America entered the wa, Germany had
built her expectations on the belief
that America was unprepared and
would not fight. He praised the way in
which this nation had met the test and
in an almost impossible time placed
the best army in the world in the bat
tlefelds of Europe, but at that the same
time he pointed out that previous prep
aration on the part of America might
have ended the war much sooner
The Rev. FIR. Connors also illustrated
in the business world that preparation
was the keynote of success. He then
urged that in this Lenten season the
members of the parish should remember
that "now is the day of salvation y
and that to become success in the
spiritual world man must prepare now
for life in the future. ''The really
successful man" he said, twas the man
who abides by the law of God and uses
his own free will in cooperation with
the will Of Cod
The service on Sunday was the open
ing of a series of six sermon to be de-
yliyered by the Rev. Fir. Connors on Sun
day evening during the Lenten season.
He is a forceful and inpiring speaker
and won much praise for his opening
sermon on Sunday evening. Subjects
for the other services viii be announce
ed later in the season.

Conference Held This Morn
ing To Consider Appeal to
Council to Stop Showing
of Sensational PCT ~.rc5.
WANT TIGHTER LAWS DRAWN
Matter May Be Laid Before the Com
mon Council At It's Next Regular
Meeting Theatre Owners Say
That They Will Cooperate.

Censorship of moving pictures in Ke-
nosha came into the limelight again
this morning when a number Of prom
inent women, leaders in the work of the
Parent Teachers Association and the
Council of Defense work, held a confer
ence and considered a proposition to ap.
pear to the Common Council for some
new and better supervision Of the
s'movies'' shown at the Kenosha thea
tres. Formal action was delayed pend
ing the taking up of the matter with
the managers Of the theatres Of the city
and it is expected that meeting with
all the managers and the women inter-
ested in the proposed censorship will
be held during the present week and
an effort will be made to clean up
the situation.
The sensational picture is slipping
back into Kenosha, y said one of the
ladies interested in the movement and
we want to put an end to it before the
showing of these pictures become real
menace to the children and the young
people of the city. In most cases where
we have appealed to the theatre man
ayers the pictures to which we have
made strenuous objections have been
Withdrawn, but in some cases the lure
Of the dollar has been stronger than
the desire to protect the morals of the
young people. We realize that there
are many difficulties attending censor
ship of moving pictures and that the
matter has been threshed out in previ-
GUS years, but we feel that there should
be some action taken by the council
which will give some one the right to
censor pictures which are brought to
Kenosha. Theatre managers as a rule
have shown a willingness to abide by
the decision Of the women who have
urged that some pictures be eliminated
from the screen in theatres in Kenosha.
Most of these people have treated the
members Of the committee with great
courtesy and have shown desire to
cooperate in every way. We believe
now that if the council would give a
commission official standing that it
would do much to do away with the
possibility Of these sensational pictures
slipping into Kenosha.''
Theatre managers when seen this
morning declared that Kenosha was off
the sensational picture circuit and
that practically all Of the pictures
shown in Kenosha had been passed by
the Chicago censors and that they had
been shown in Kenosha just as they
were shown in Chicago and other
large cities.
"We want to cooperate with this
committee cf women in every way posi-
ble,o said one Of the theatre managers.
THE pictures brought here are care
fully considered and we believe that
for the most part there has been no
reason for complaints. Our theatres
are open at all times for the ladies to
come an see the pictures and we aim to
come and see the pictures and we aim to
gentlemen and women to see.

These quotations hold the gist of
Frank III. West IS lecture at the Park
Avenue M thodist Church on Sunday
evening. The ~ Yak ''-'he won the
right to that title when he was gassed
at neutrality-suspicious. especially an
explanation Of the rpmored irregulari-
ties in the work of the Y. M. G. A. in
France, little advice as to the proper
reception for returning soldiers, dis
cussion of the morals Of the doughboys,
and vivid commentary on the present
state of mind in Germany.
The "Y" Gould Not Get Tonnage.
La refuting charges of alleged extor-
biOR and over-charging by the Y. M. G.
A. canteens out there, Mr.. West, who
was chief secretary for the First Ameri-
can Army on TIC Argonne-Ve front,
declared that it was next to impossible
to get supplies to and through France.
Although tie government gave the
association every opportunity for
work, y he asserted, cit did not give it
the tonnage required to transport the
necessary materials for that work. AS
a consequence it had to pay exorbitant
freight rates and equally high marine
insurance on all its imports to the war
zone and could not sell its offerings at
the same price as they were sold in
government canteens with unlimited
tonnage and free labor all along the
line. And that wasn't all. We had to
buy our lumber in Switzerland and our
paper in Spain and whenever we got a
good consignment of each cf them
ready for shipment into France the
French government closed the borders
and left us in the lurch with our sup
plies just across the line but alb
solutely unobtainable until the ban
was lifted.
And that's the reason you hear so
many stories of high prices in Y
canteens, that and the fact that soldiers
not actually engaged in fighting just
have to kick about something. If they
didn It they'd have nothing to do es-
pecially after an armistic has been
signed"
Don't Do Too Much for Them
"And right here," the secretary
warned, "take my advice and don t do
too much for the soldiers when they
come home. Give receptions for them,
praise them, ionize them. give them
their old jobs back at increased pay,
but don't let them think that they we

nitude the things they We already done

"The same fellow who yelled
because his coffee was cold or his
bully beef a little burned, was
'All right, doctor when his
leg was shot off and his buddy
next to him needed attention a
little more than he did"
"fThe Y. M. G. A. went to
France, not to pauperize the
soldiers, but to furnish them with
luxuries when they wanted them
and had money to pay q reason
able price for them This did
not hold for men who were
going in or coming back from

Jack Julian's Juvenile Band at the
Virginian Sunday Wins Large
Houses With It's Melodies.

They were "there" alright-the Jack
Julian IS Juvenile Band, which was the
headliner at the Virginian Theatre on
Sunday. There were eight of them in
the act and all Of them under fourteen
years of age, but they certainly had
learned the art of producing melody.
The real interesting thing about the
company was the fact that the manager
refuses to allow their playing to inter
fere with their attendance at school and
that he steadfastly refuses to book the
attraction on any days except Saturday
and Sunday. The children played well
and won the enthusiastic applause which
greeted their patriotic numbers.

"Germans are Unrepentant.

In speaking Of the attitude of the
people in Germany since the signing Of
the arnistic, Mr.. West said that it had
been different from what the doughboys
had expected to find it.
" Wherever the Americans have gone
in Germany he stated with especial
emphasis. "they have been kindly re
ceived by the German people. They do
not blame America for her participation
in the war. They blame the Kaiser
and the war-lords for making conditions
such that America had to intervene or
sacrifice her national honor. And yet
there is no regret for having started
the war, only for having lost it. The
Germans still think that might is
right and believe that they sinned
only when they Numbered and allow.
ed the might to be transferred to their
enemies the Entente.''
In conclusion Mr.. West declared with
great feeling:
"For Christian people it is our SUI
preme opportunity to back up our presi-
dent, who is considered the greatest
man in the world by everyone except
his own people, in insuring a League
Of Nations, in which the United States
will be a prime mover and by the
action of which the whole world will
he given democracy and a Christian
