THE MOTHER OF GOD.

Recently there was held in Washing
ton the convention of the American
War Mothers. From all over the Unit
ed States mothers who had buckled
the sword upon their sons and sent
them forth to battle for justice and
right in the great war which has just
closed gathered in the National Cap
ital. Among them were hundreds
whose sons had made the supreme
sacrifice.
Owing to illness President Wilson
could not attend, but was represent
ed by Vice President Marshall, who
made the opening address. Declaring
that no human relation is so tender, so
inspiring or so sacred as that between
mother and child, no bond so true, or
which has inspired to nobler express
sions the genius of the greatest poets,
musicians and orators, Vice President
Marshall referred to Her Whom Cath
olics venerate as the Blessed Mother
of God, in the following noble and elo-
quent tribute:
There is a religious communion
that venerates and worships a type
Of Woman-the Blessed Mother 1t de-
lights me to consider her the Queen
of Heaven and the Mother of God In
carnate upon earth. l do not myself

K. OF c. UNIFORM
ADMITTED AS FORMAL DRESS At
VATICAN AUDIENCE.

Miss Gladys Sheridan of New, York
City, who served with the legal de-
partment of the Knights of Colum-
bus in France, recently had a unique
experience while; visiting the Vatican
at Rome. Miss Sheridan with a group
of other visitors sought an audience
with Pope Benedict. She observed
that all of the women in the party
wore mantillas. 1t has long been the
custom for women to wear wells when
being received at the Vatican. Miss
Sheridan was dressed in her knights
of Columbus uniform. One of the
Swiss guard, seeing that she wore no
mantilla and was about to be refused,
allowed her to pass assuring her that
the K: of c. uniform was recognized
at the Vatican .'as formal dress for an

be overworked, by all the crop which
could be put in sacksSin a year. His
candor hit the complex of, our present
national life and behold, 1t was as
clear as mud.
We discover, as Mr.. Williams wildly
addresses the senate, Southern-Amer-
lean in the course. of debate as to
whether Japan should have a part of
China, damning Irish-Americans who
had been writing him to the effect
that England should not hold Ireland
under the yoke, and using as the start
of his plenteous words a resolution
from the confederate veterans asso-
citation applauding the anti-American
covenant of the league of nations and
demanding that the United States,
which they had fought to dissolve, ac-
cept this covenant which might more
effectually dissolve it. than anything
they had been able to accomplish.

were locked between races to keep
"welshers" from escaping.
All this did not restore Shantung
to the Chinese, that issue being the
then prevailing issue before the Amer
lean senate, but it ought to have
caused the Statue of Liberty to try. to
do a clog dance. t..-7 So
We thank the Hon. Mr.. Williams in
the first place for amusement. We
thank him for getting over on the Re-
publican side before he began his now
celebrated speech. That put him out
of the immediate reach of his startled
Democratic colleagues who saw the
whole Irish vote going blooie for 1920.
It gave us the picture of Senator
Hitchcock, as appalled, as frighten-
ed vestryman,s trying to stalk and
shush Mr.. Williams and finding Mr..
Williams as shushable as wild ass
in an alfalfa field.
We thank Mr.. Williams for some
serious thoughts. Here was South
ern-American, as hyphenate as the
hyphen can make a diversion of ma
tionalism, damning the Irish who have
fought for freedom and who did help
conquer the south, damning them be-
cause they did have something to do
with the suppression of slavery in this
land, demanding in the name of the
men who fought to divide the union
and hold on to slavery. that the union,
which was preserved in spite of them,
be subordinated to an international
council which could override the
American constitution, supporting the
provision which makes Chinese the
virtual slaves of the Japanese, damn
ing the men who want liberty for the
Irish, and doing it all in the name Of
altruism and Americanism.

Prospect Good for
Abundance Of Wheat,
Opinion Of Houston

St. Louis, Jan. 25-David F.
Houston, secretary of agriculture,
today in explaining why the govern
ment is not urging farmers to plant
larger crops Of wheat next spring,
pointed out that the crops planted
in the spring will not be available for
the market until next fall, when food
conditions will be changed.
"The farmers planted last fall
100000 more acres of wheat than
they did at any previous time, and
the indications are that the spring
plant will be on a very large scale,
he said. "The question is, can the
crop be disposed of at the guaran-
teed price of $2.26 bushel on No,
/ winter wheat?
-"The prospects are that the yield
will be. at least l,000,000,000 bushels,
of which amount about 650,000,00O
bushels will be needed at home. Will
Europe take the surplus after a
season of producing on her own &C
count, and with Australia and Ar
gentina in the market!
