RESOLUTION OF RESPECT.

At a special meeting of the B9ard ef Directors of The Masonic Temple Cor poration held Friday. Aug. 18th. 1s1 g; the following solution was unAni- mousiy adopted:
 Few men have given as nueh of of their time to the interests of M4sonry in Norwich as John C. Averill. In one of the bodies he has held office con- tinuously for thirty ight years; in An- other. sSechftary for twenty -four years; in three, others. Treasurer for twenty four years-a period of service seldom aqua1led.
 But it. was the quality of the service rendered. rather than It's length. that made him so. valuable to the fraternity; Of unimpsachable integrity, warm and loyal to the care in his friendships. his loss will be deeply felt.
 Chosen Vice. President of this Cor poration at the last annual meeting. he was Director from its organization, and tic legal advice so necessary at it's formation was freely given by him and the beginning, the Library which he created is highly prized-
 Resolved: That a. page in our records he set apart to his memory and that a copy. of this resolution be sent to his an1ffy.

FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION
 AT ST aATnlCK5G CLfff


 Friday. the feast of the Assumpten. Arge congregations attended the three masses in St. Patrick's church. The Sw mass at 5 was read by Rev. Myles P Calvin. the second mass at by Rev Peter l. Cuny, while the high mars at 2 was sting by the rector, Rev. John H. Frederick. In this last service t1e music was by the regular choir, orEaniSt Frank l.. Farrell directing. and Mrs Farrell singing the solos in asr c1stnDary pleasing manner.
 The feast commentaries the pious belief of the faithful in the tradition that. since the life of the Blessed Efr- gin Mary differed from the life. of every othe- mortal through her sacred asso- ctztion with her Divine Son. so her death could not have been that of or din4ry humankind. but that she must have been assumed by her Divine Son body and soul into heaven. Because of the Virgin venerated by Catholics as the highest type of daughter. mother and spouse. the altar hangings and vestfnents during the masses Of the day were of white and gold. The epistle read was Ecclesia sticus xxiv. 11-2e. and the gospel Luke x 3s-42. n4r<atfng the visit of the Saviour to the home of Martha and Mary. and Christ's rebuke to the worldly y-apx iotrs Martha Mary hath chosen the besf part which shall not be taken away from her.

WILL CANVASS ekEENEviLLE
 EARLY NEXT WEEK

The drive for the Irish freedom fund is meeting with success in this city and vicinity. The canvassers ahd com mittee held a meeting Friday and the various reports were satisfactory. The only section not yet eanvassed is Greeneviile, and besinning Monday that section will be attended to. As this is the season when many people are away, the con1mfttee most earnest 1y request these who have not been called upon to send their remittance to Lieut.. Charles Cassidy. secretary of the local branch. This present effort on the part of the friends of Ireland for self detefminatio11< of it's own form of government will without doGbt be successful, as the peace treaty com mission at France have taken from Germany, Austria and the other War ring nations all territory and colonies which were formerly small nations arid restored them with full recognition to their peoples, says a statement issued Friday. it is only reasonable to expect that the allied nations should do as they require others to do, and that is what all lovers Of liberty expect.
 Ireland wants to resume it's role As d, ever eight million. Today 1t is about four millions. Ireland at one time had extensive industries. All disappeared under English. rule. says the state nhent. In the 18th century Ireland was a sea power. her ships sailing the seven seas. carrying the leatfefs5. and seFses and silks of Irish TaaHufs oture to the markets of Spainss France and South America. Galway was a greater port than Liverpool and second onfy to London.
 There are millions of tons of coal fri Ireland, and England prehibits tho mining Of it. X system of government by which the nation can be restored fo It's former conditions is ewhat they de- sire settled at this time. and the fund being now raised is to present it's. case to the world.

AMERICAN LEGION.

In reply 10 on inquiry frefn & local post of The American, LeGfons the na- tional organization of American vet erans of the Great War. as to the Le- gion's attitude on tho bonus question. Henry D. Lindsley. chairman of the joint national executive committee, states that the action of the St. Louis caucus last May, which unanin ousI5, tabled resolution demanding bo- nus. is subject to review at the Min neapolis convention in November in accordance with the wishes of the Le- gion'S members.
 cuses were as representative as it was possible at the time to make them, MT. Lindsley says. the November con- vention really marks the oi1cial birth of The American Legion and will be so representative of ex- service mcil every way represent the desire and spirit of those who served in the great war.
 ,, Dear Sir ana comrade: In reply to your letter of August 4th I wish to fr- form you that the St. Louis caucus of the American Legion did not pass a resolution opposing & bonus from our federal government to ex-service men. The fact is that resolution was of fered demanding such bonus and that a delegate to tho convention moved to lay this resolution on the table. This was the unanimous action of the eau GUS not a single vote being cast against laying the resolution on the table.
 It was certainly the prevailing idea Of the St. Louis caucus that the time was not then ripe for the American Legion to go on record as favoring any of the various bonus plans pro posed and that such action as the American Legion might desire to take on this most important subject ought to be after general demobilization. so that there could be the fullest express sion from practically ali ex-serv1ce men, The convention in November will be representative to this extent, and at this convention the bonus ques- ticn will undoubtedly be determined in so far as the American Legion is concerned in accordance with the wishes of it's membership.
 It should be clearly understood that the action of the St. Louis caucus is subject to such review at the Minnea- polls convention as may then be de- termined best. Certainly 1t Is proper that there be the fullest possible dis cussion of the entire bonus question among the members of the American Legion, so that the November conven- ton will correctly represent the views of those who served in the Army and Navy during the recent war.
 The November convention really narks the official birth of the Amer iean Legion. The caucus At Paris ini- tfzfed tho Legion in the A, E. E.. and the caucus in St. Louis carried this. forward in the unted states.
