There Is Changed Attitude Paris Toward American Delegates
The Second Lieutenants.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.


The second lieutenants! | sing their fame
For out of the baseball fields they came
To play their part in sitter game.
They were smooth of cheek and were keen of eye;
They were boys at school till they heard the cry
Of nation calling for men to die.
Some of them made us smile, perhaps
At the pride they took in their shoulder straps,
AS they lorded it over the other chaps.
And we laughed at them in their army suits,
Pompousy drilling the raw recruits,
Insisting on regular, stiff sautes.
But over there where the hate was red
And the cannons barked and the blood was shed,
The second leutenants the charges led.
can see them in the dawn's pale glow
Cheering their men in the trench below
AS they wait the hour that is set to go.
AS they leap the top and the fight begins
Nobody jeers at them now grin$.
God has forgiven them all their sins.
Nobody sneers at their boyish pride,
Nobody smiles at their manly Stride
The jests are lost in the way they died.
The second lieutenants !'e1 sing their fame
AS boys from the baseball fields they came
To play their part in sitter game
God grant them glory and peace | pray, ~.
For the poppies bloom where they sleep today
The second lieutenants who led the way!

RELIGIONS IND FAKES

-rss.as sarsr- ?
 At tho Methodist church last even ing Roy. Carter continued his series of sermons on "Tho Character of tho Master" After the song service by uc choir. Rev. Carter read for the lesson the first rart of the twelfth chaHtHr of Matthew, including what IS general Iv called the beatitudes.
 The particular phase of the general subject which Rev. Carter took for the theme of the evening was "The Mast CTS Joy" Christianity, Buddhism ant Mohammedanism.
 "There are three great religions said Rev. Carter, "that are missionary religions, and any religion that has not the mission clement in it may well be looked upon with some suspicion that it lacks an essential and very VI taI quality. While these three great re- Iioions resemble each other in thor tendency to seek converts, there 'S 9 striking difference in some other r'- spects. Christianity is the only on" Of the three that is a religion of song, the Buddhism is said to have recently attempted to adcSt a garbcd edition of a Christian song in its form of wor- ship.
 "Buddhism and Mohammedanj,m can rot be said to be religions of joy while the Christian religion, when poo uerlv understood, is full of joy and the propagato~ of joy, therefore the one who founded and inspired the Christ ian religion must have been a joyo2s character, notwithstanding the fac he is often spoken of as a man of ior rows. True, he was no stranger tr grief. neither are many of his follow crs free from sorrows. He who is c"' pable of the deepest sorrow is alsr piftnd with the greatest power Of e0. joyment,"

DEMPSEY E:
 TO HANG

VALDEZ, Dec, & q Sentence you to be hanged by the neck until dead, on Friday February 2Oth, 1920 br tween the hours Of six in the morning and six o'clock in the evening"
 Is the above words, Judge Charles E. Bunncn, pronounced the death pom atty upon William Dempsey with many aliases, for each of the crimr- y. .hich he was convicted.
 Dempsey has been convicted ot the murder or Deputy United States Mar shal Isaac Evans, at Seward, in Sep tcmber, and Margaret VaIor, at An chorage, in August.
 The sentence of death is for both cases, so in case one should be app,ai- ed, Dempsey will die for the other crime.
 Dempsey made a rambling speech offering to trade information about the Lavor case for a life sentence. DcrI5cy said he had confederata iH ihe murder of the woman but refused to give the name. In his testimony, during the trial, Dempsey gave the name of his accomplice as Albert Co., hen. the latter, according to the con victcd man, having killed the Lavor wo~oY, md Dempsey only aiding h sec tng the body.
 Dempsey maintained the utmost composure and bravado when sentence v.. announced ari he greeted thc verdict of the Judge with smiles and winhod at spectators. Dempsey told the Judge he was only 19 years Of 2g" but others believe he is at least 24 years old. Dempsey said being only l9 he was to young to die. He said he had no idea he had killed Deputy Evans.
 It came out in the trial of Demp- scy for the murder of the Layor wo- man that the first question he asked his captors, following the hunt after .he Evans shooting was Have they found the body of the woman"
 Judge Bunnell made an eloquent ak to the condemned man and asked him to repent. Judge Bunnell question d Dempsey about the murder of the Lavor woman but the latter would ad- nit nothing. Judge Bunnell paid m tribute to the dead marshal
 Dempsey will be hanged in the warehouse before twelve witnesses.
 The double sentence was passed up- on Dempsey last Saturday night at six o'clock, that hour being 72 hours after his conviction.
 Assistant district attorney Trpitt, who prosecuted Dempsey on the LavoI murder charge, stated Dempsey was a degenerate, but an educated one. Truitt believes Dempsey is a regular yegg man of New York. He was cuA- ming in his testimony, and was only caught lying twice in the Lavor case.
 When Dempsey was lead to jail, ro told a colored man that he would ar point him his hangman that there was "$4O in it for him for doing thc job"

FINAN
AAI[I'SACE-LORRA|NE TROUBLES
NEW PROBLEM FOR BOTH
FRANCE AND VATICAN-PON-
TIFF MUST REGULATE PECo-
LIAR POSITION OF CHURCH
AUTHORITIES.

The peculiar position of Alsace-
Lorraine. as regards the religious au-
thorities, is one which can be regu-
lated only by the Pope; and already
French Catholics are again urging on
their government the paramount I'M
portance of resuming diplomatic rela-
tions with the Vatican. The Bishops
of Strasbourg and Metz did not APP
pear at the fetes of deliverance OF
the restored provinces, or the recep-
ton of the generals and the armies
of France. 1t was the chapters OF
the two Cathedrals and the Canons
thereof, who presided at the grand
religious ceremonies, and received the
victors in the cathedrals.
1t is understood that the Archbishop
of Strasbourg has written to the Pope
10 demand that, in view of the new
order of things, His Holiness should
regulate with the French Government
the situation of the diocese. This
prelate is pro-German; and 1t is SAID
he insists in his letter that Benedict
the clergy are permitted to employ the
German language, which the prelate
declares is essential.
Of a different stamp is the Bishop
of Metz, whom Canon Colin, the pa
triotic editor of lie Lorraine and Faith
er BaQueu, chaplain OF 1870, nave
united in defending in the journals OF
Metz Mgr. Benzler promised on the
day of his conservation to be hence
forth Lorraine, and he has kept that
promise. He had no word of blame
for his clergy, when they complained
of German so-called justice, while his
own countrymen had many words OF
blame for him. He has struggled
with great courage to maintain the
right of his people to receive rellg-
ious instruction in the French langu-
age. One incident illustrates the
Bishops attitude:
The chaplain of a hospital of Metz
was surprised speaking French dur
ing the war. The head doctor reprl-
manded him with insolence, and
demanded of the Bishop his instant
removal This was not done and the
matter went to the Council OF War.
The Bishop supported the chaplain.
1t was he also who wrote to the Ger
man military governor of ThionVille:
You are General and | am Bishop. |
do not mix myself up in your military
affairs; be good enough, then, not to
mix yourself in my ecclesiastical af-
fairs"
At the same time, although Mgr.
BenZler is such an admirable prelate,
it was seen that the whole religious
situation in Alsace-Lorraine bristles
with difficulties, particularly if the
present French Government endeav-
ors to apply the laws against the
Church there; and thus it is evident
that the moment has come for France
to renew diplomatic relations with
Rome. She owes it also to the two
thousand soldier priests dead on the
field Of battle, and to her Catholic
Generalissimo, who has led her and
the armies of the world to the final
victory.
