CASEY'S Hulk. C.'S.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Or. James Henderson,

visited the other day at Casey's
Hut in France,
Twas there III wage | did my bit,
the first I'd had chance;
For Casey slings wondrous hash an
china plates and all,
l filed up on mutton chop and end
ed with high BALL
twas buildings, pies and dishes, piled
almost mountain high,
The best ween since Emmett hung
twill haunt me till | die.
So | thought of my old mother with
her crust dipped in her cup O.
tay
A-sufferin' for the Caseys all across
the wide salt say.
twas Casey, hand me this, me lad,
and, Casey. get me that,
And Casey now stranger to the dear
old army hat,
And wearin' Frenchy airs and all, and
tryin' parley VOC:
Oh, Casey, I'm afraid this war will
make fool of you
Well! l ate and ate, and Casey piled
the good things mountain-like
I'll not forget how Casey fed me after
such hike.
But, thought of mothers little crust
dipped in her cup O. tay
An hunger stayin' at home to let the
boys go DER the say
Would Hoover suck a crust, l asked,
when he is toothless grown?
Sure, Casey the rale heroes now are
scarcely ever known!
I'll fight me battles for the flag and
that's for Freedom, too,
But Casey, this old Teuton row amt
sittin' hard on you.
There's one thing that is botherin
me altho' you've filed me fair;
I'm thinkin' of my hungry dad, my
mother over there:
Altho' me belly's full, me boy, sure
am far from gay

HER TURNBUCkLE.

Out from dread hurricanes by chance,
An outline in derision,
Warm with beauty's quick advance
Slips an unbroken vision.
Before her war-bulbs weltering lie,
scale-spent,
And long-adored Might, berated;
Each turn, each tick of her thought,
as element, - -
Shall time the worlds hates till re-
lated.
Still more this turnbuckle tightens
again,
And braggarts dismiss pet "squil-
lies"
From charred stump an ouzel chants
Victory then,-
To dear ones there slain-fetch
lilies
For Duty has priorities,
And Must it's obligations;
They doubly work who are not true
To the flag of Allied nations.
Clamor,-when it touches your own,
A gap between hell and right,
Bullets, shrapnel, ideas first were
Wrong ones are hardest to fight.
No scrap of angel kingdoms, since
clinked wars cup,
Life was what plumber instigated;-
Her task, as amenities, must now
link up
Hate, lead, idiocy nuxated.
In test-tube of cowardice, where
treason
Plucked stars from the blue, O
tighten.
And tore stripes apart,-no bare staff,
nor season
From new Dawn our eagle could
frighten!
Yet Duty has priorities,
And Must it's obligations;
The junk of sires is not our guilt
In Democracy of nations.
Now is our need security,
Kinship, the knaek of it, too,
To meet fate, deadlocks, exultingly,
Crises, by noblest and you.
What pliers stronger than its pin?
What swivel?

AN APPEAL FROM CEYLON.

The following letter explains the
great needs Of the Church in Ceylon:
Dear Reader:
Allow me, a poor native priest, to
beg from you little help towards do
ing Gods work in this far-off land.
| am in charge of this mission Of
Pesalai, which consists of twelve VIII
lagos. I am sorry to say that there is
only one church in my Mission in
which / can keep the Blessed Sacra-
ment In each of these villages, there
is a Wretched shed constructed with
jungle sticks and covered with palm
leaves. 1t is in such miserable sheds
that | offer the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass and administer the Sacramento.
There is neither altar, nor pulpit, nor
confessional. A bottle or piece of
wood serves as a candlestick.
My people are the descendants of
those who were baptized by St.
Francis Xavier They never swerved
from the faith, though pagan kings
and Dutch Protestants tried by every
means in their power to make them
apostatize. More than 500 of them
time of the native kings, as We read
| in the letters of st. Francis Xavier.
| The Dutch Protestants, who sue
| ceeded the Portuguese, prosecuted the
| Christians most cruelty, and yet none
of them denied the true faith. Hence
1 hn .SIVin
| become Protestant" These
| descendants of martyrs are very poor
| They mostly live on the produce OF
| palmyra tree fruits and roots). As
they are unable to build chapels for
themselves, appeal to you to come
to their aid. A sum of $500 will
build a nice church and $500 a neal
decent chapel, and the people will dc
all the coolie work.
l often think what a splendid
memorial the erection of a church OF
chapel would be to sorrowing parents
or relatives. So many hundreds O
dollars are spent in erecting prac
tically useless monuments in memor.
of the beloved departed ones. Wha
an amount of good could be done, i
this money, or only portion of it
. were spent in building memorial
churches or chapels in the mission
field.
Those who cannot afford to built
a church or chapel can furnish it will
all the things necessary for the divin
worship:
/ 800 will buy a missionary Mass
outfit, containing everything neces
sary for the celebration, packed in
neat case.
Fl $75 will buy good altar.
$50 will buy beautiful tabernacle
$40 will buy a set of Stations of tn
: Cross.
s35 will buy beautiful statue
feet high.
$50 will buy an ostensorium.
$25 will buy chalice or ciboriun
$40 will buy a cope or a cruciix an
six candlesticks
SIS will buy a set of Mass yes
ments of any color or a sanctuar
lamp.
l $40 will buy missal or Benedit
ton veil.
) SIS will buy an alb or a set of, alta
cards or altar cloths.
l May our Blessed Lord inspire som
} | generous souls to build church c
chapel in memory of their departe
relatives or friends, or to help on tn

m. is Fifty Years Old and Chapter Is
Thirty Years Young This Year
and Both Have Done
Good Work.
WAS FOUNDED IN IOWA
Names of Many Prominent Women Of
Keokuk Appear on Rollsfof Not
ed Organization Of
Women.

The 2. e. O. sisterhoOd is fifty
vears old and its Keokuk chapter is
thirty years old this year.
The golden jubilee Of the order will
not be celebrated here by the local
chapter which has given the sister
hood a national president, in the
mast. and the editor of it's official
magazine, in the present.
The Keokuk chapter was organized
geptember 2, 1889. Among the early
members were Mrs. Emma Clever
Scroggs, Mrs. E. b. Ringland, Mrs.
Louise Hamill Dysart Mrs. Minnie
Delaplaine Dickinson, Mrs. Mary
Cherry Kehoe, Mrs. Mamie Hill Wish
ard. Miss Lucia Pittman, Miss M.
Olive Sutton and Miss Viola Hender-
son.
The Keokuk chapter maintained a
Red Cross auxiliary during the war
and has always been active in local
charities.
There are fifty-five active members
In the chapter, of which Mrs. G. j.
CHRISTENSEN is president now.
Half Century Ago Today.
The P. e. o. sisterhood is exactly
half century old today.
The society had its origin in Iowa,
In the first university established
west of the Mississippi river. the
Iowa Wesleyan university at Mt.
Pleasant On January 81, 1869. there
were seven members, today there are
$4,000, with chapter in twenty-seven
states, and three chapters in Canada.
OF the seven who founded the
sorority, four are still living: Mrs.
c. L. Stafford, of Muscatine; Mrs. w.
l. Babb, of Aurora, H.; Mrs. Franc
Rhodes Elliott, of Chicago, and Mrs.
Suella Pearson Penfeld, of Cleve-
land Ohio.
P. E. o. is one of the oldest of
women's organizations; Sorority ante
dates it by a few months, and the
l. C. society, which later became Pi
Beta Phi, is a few weeks older.
Originally a College Sorority.
P. E. o. was for many years col
lege sorority. but became a city or
ganization when Greek letter socie-
ties came to be generally established,
for the reason that it was unwilling
TO lose it's identity by being national
lied.
There are now about $50 chapters,
with fifteen state grand chapters and
over all supreme chapter.
The philanthropy of the society in
cludes the maintenance of an edu-
cational loan fund, which loans
money to young women to secure an
education with view to self sup
Port. The fund has in it more than
$4,000 and has aided hundreds of
girls in their education.
The plan of loaning money without
security, has been in operation for
more than twelve years and not one
cent has been lost because Of dis
honesty on the part of the beneficiary

is AGAINST
PROHIBITION
Cardinal Gibbons Issues Statement
Advocating Regulations to
Govern Making and Sell
ing of Liquor.

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 21.--Car-
dinal Gibbons presented an argument
against prohibition in which he ad-
vocates in substitution for the law
strict regulations to govern the manu-
facture and sale of liquor.
The statement follows:
l have always been in favor of
strict regulation of the manufacture
and sale Of liquor instead of abso-
lutte prohibition, because by strict
regulation the liberty of individuals
is preserved, whereas by prohibition
we face legislation which in the long
run cannot be corrected, and an early
result of prohibition will be the
secret and illicit manufacture and
sale Of bad liquor. whereby the gov
eminent will be deprived of large
revenue, besides being put to enor-
nous expense in the employment of
agents to enforce the law.
Moreover, in the carrying out OF
the law I see also an invasion Of
the home which up to now all men
have agreed is sacred and holy
place. These agents may enter our
homes with the violence of burglars
and the immunity Of officers of the
law.
To me it Is very strange that after
1000 years men should pass legisla-
ton which strikes at the very fun
damentals of the christian religion.
Will not the prohibition of the manu-
facture and sale Of wine affect those
who profess the christian religion?
We have 10000 Catholic clergymen
in the United States who every day
offer the sacrament Of the mass.
How can they perform this duty If
they cannot obtain wine?
I know will be replied to that
wine is allowed for sacramento pur-
poses. I cannot see how this will
be If the manufacture, sale and i'm
portation of wine is prohibited. The
law of prohibition strikes the indi-
yidual liberty Of worship.
We permit the restricted sale of

sits going to take a long time for
popular lecturers and for speakers in
general to realize that the war is
over" said man in commenting on
the Clinton N. Howard lecture last
night. 1.-The theme of speeding up
the war is as dead as Is the agita-
ton against human slavery. And
public speakers seem about the last
people to realize that. truth"
Clinton N. Howard for years lee
tured for a constitutional prohibition
amendment, and had his part in
bringing it about. During the war.
he made hundreds of speeches on the
various phases of war activity, and
from his lecture last night it could
be seen that he had been forceful
speaker on both subjects, but had
gained so much momentum that he
could not stop at the end of the
road.
The speaker was introduced by
Miss Harriet Solomon, president of
the Woman's Progress Federation.
Every seat in the auditorium of the
First Baptist church was filled to
hear the lecture on 1.-THE Dawn of a
New Day"
The theme Of the lecture was that
after darkness there Is always llenI,
that for the war there is compensa-
ton.
The sixteenth constitutional amend
ment which will make America bone
dry is one compensation.
"Uncle Sam knows that he can't
carry a mountain of war debt on one
shoulder and tote a barrel OF whtskey
on the other"
He reviewed the cost Of the war in
dollars and human life and manned
bodies, and said that everything
worth while cost and its value to the
world was commensurate with the
price paid.
"The agreement drawn UP about
the peace table is going to make
future wars between christian nations
You can never pin peace
to the world by bayonet. Only the
Golden Rule will bring the golden day
! of universal peace" was the closing
sentence Of the lecture.
Some OF the audience greatly en-
joyed the scintillating rhetoric and
rounded periods of the orator.

NEW POLICY FOR GERMAN
MANUFACTURERS

German manufacturers are plan
ming to rehabilitate their world trade
by "a new policy" according to let
ter in the Deutscher Handel Warte' of
Nuremburg. It contemplates moth
ing less, he says. than abandonment
OF the flooding of foreign countries
with trashy goods"
Admitting that the outlook for
German export is unfortunate" in
view of the progress in manufactur-
ing made by Japan. America. Eng
land and other countries, the belief
is expressed that those nations are
so busy trying to increase their in
dustrial production that they are
becoming lax in the matters of beau
ty, quality and price,.
America seeks to drive Germany
from the world markets" says the
article. ''The entente concerns itself
also with working against our ex-
ports in neutral countries. Yet all
this cannot scare us. It is thereby
made clear what boundless esteem
exists for German manufacturers in
enemy countries. The goods which
are best, most beautiful and cheapest
will find their way into other lands" I"
