American Boys Graves
Cared for By French
Mothers

LIBOURNE, FRANCE, Feb. 25-
Near Libourne is great S. O. S.
(Service of Supply area where two
thousands of American troops were
assigned the irksome duty Of keeping
constantly moving toward the front
the endless supplies of food and am
munition. The work was outlet
proof" enough but monotonous, fa-
tiguing and absolutely without pros
pect of reward.
In the grave yard near Libourne
are buried no men who were killed
in action, nevertheless, when a few
Sundays ago the Y. NJ. C. A. held
memorial service there, the attitude
of the hundreds of French men and
women, who attended the service,
proves the esteem in which these SOL
diers of the S. O. S. were held. Every
grave in the cemetery was decorated,
not just casually and indifferently, but
with obvious care and devotion. Just
below the name and rank of the dead
soldier, on the little wooden cross
which marked his grave, was tackled
a card which read adopted by
Madame" Every grave in the en-
tire cemetery is cared for by some
French woman of Libourne who has
lost a son in the war. When Y. M
c. A. worker asked why the mothers
of France were SO kind and thought
full of our boys graves one woman
looked up through her tears and
replied, ooh, what if you had not
come, what if you had not come!"

GERMANY MAKES
PLANS TO DESTROY
POWER OF POLES.
Promises Poland Peace Yet
Order Troops on the
Frontier
A SCRAP OF PAPER
Paris Hears of Plot of the German
Government to Make the Poles
Powerless
A SCRAP OF PAPER

PARIS, Feb. 25-The Polish au-
thorities, according to Havas dis
patch from Warsaw, have obtained
absolutely reliable information from
Berlin that President Ebert, Chan
cellor Scheidemann, Foreign Minis
ter Won Brockdorff- -Rantzau, War
Minister Noske, and Herr Landsberg
at asecret meeting adopted plan to
deal with the Polish question by which
Germany, while promising to make
peace with Poland, would give orders
to the German troops on the frontier
to continue their operations against
the Poles.
In addition, it is declared, the
German leaders agreed to get in
touch with the Russian Bolshevist
Government with a view to joint
action against Poland 1t was plan
ned also, the despatch continues, to
let the German troops remain in Lith-
uania to become infected with Boil
shevism so as to facilitate action
against Poland. 1t was agreed that
it would be announced that the lead
ers no longer had control over these
troops.
WARSAW, Feb. 25-lAssociated
Press)-A crowd, apparently made
up of persons out of work and led by
Bolshevist agents, made demonstra-
ton before the Hotel Bristol, where
Premier Paderewski and the interal-
lied mission to Poland have their
headquarters. The Premier's auto
mobile was stopped as he was leav-
ing the hotel, and M. Paderewski was
forced to make speech to the
crowd. He promised the demon
strants work as soon as possible, and
appealed to them to disperse because
of the impression their attitude would
make on the foreign mission.
Later one of the French officers at
tached to the mission appeared on a
balcony and told the crowd that food
was on the way to Warsaw. The af-
fair turned out to be rather tame, and
the crowd was eventually dispersed
by squadron of cavalry and some
infantry.
Moscow, the seat of the Russian
Bolshevist Government, is quiet for
the time being, pending the outcome
of the proposed Princes Islands con-
ference. Some reports reaching War
saw are that the Bolshevist leaders
are spending money to procure agita-
| tors to foment disorders in Poland
Meanwhile Polish troops are wedding

Aerial conpasses

Many difficulties bad to be overcome
Tn the production of a satisfactory
compass for aerial work. Chief among
these was that of neutralizing the mag
netlsm of the engine (and in particular
the magneto) and of preventing the
effect of centrifugal force, which
caused the card or dial inside the COM
pass to swing in a direction quite indie
pendent of north when the airplane
was banking on turn. However,
truly excellent compass is now in use.

Eliminate All Features That
Oppose the Monroe
Doctrine

Cardinal Gibbons Pleads the Cause

Daughters 8.
LIBERTY IN THE AIR

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 25-A res
olution presented by Cardinal Glib
bons urging the peace congress
to. apply to Ireland the doctrine of
national self-determination and dec
laration of principles demanding that
If any league of nations be created,
all features which may infringe on
the traditional American policy, in
cluding the Monroe Doctrine, shall be
eliminated, were adopted unanimously
Sunday at the closing session of the
convention of the Irish race in Am
erica.
The declaration says state of war
exists between England and Ireland
(which in the interests of the peace
of the world conference cannot
ignore"
The Cardinal, who recently cele-
brated his golden jubilee commenor-
ating the 50th anniversary of his en-
trance into the priesthood of the Ro-
man Catholic church, presented the
document without a formal speech,
asserting that his advanced years
and consequent infrmitieso rendered
him incapable of making such an
effort. ~
Z 81 hold in my hands," said, the Car
dinal, "a resolution on behalf F.of
Ireland which should appeal to every
lover of liberty and justice.
"My friends, there is liberty IN
the air. The nations of the earth are
clamoring for liberty. And why
should not freedom loving Ireland
join in the general cry? Yes, Ireland
wants freedom to breathe the airsof
Heaven. She wants freedom to
stretch her brawny and sinewy arms.
She wants freedom to develop her
resources. She wants freedom tonde-
velop the. riches of her soil. She
wants freedom to carve out her own
destiny.
"And we are here today to plead
the cause of Ireland's sons and
daughters that they may stand erect,
redeemed, regenerated and olsen
thralled on their own sacred SOIL"
a"We remind our fellow Americans
of the farewell address to the Amer
iican people of George Washington,
and, particularly, that portion en-
bedying his advice to avoid all en-
tangling alliances with European
Powers These words are as true to-
day as when he first uttered them
Eve demand, therefore, if any
league of nations be made, that ali
features of it which may infringe on
the traditional American policy, IN
Guiding the Monroe Doctrine, shall
be eliminated, and that, in any such
league the right of self-determination
of all peoples and the American doe
.trine of freedom of the seas, so often
and earnestly advocated by President
Wilson, shall not be overlooked, for
gotten or abridged"
The True Artist.
/ The artist IS always child In fresh
ness of feeling; in unworldly delight
| in the things which do not add 10 one'z
est1tc, but which make for inward
Joy and peace, and that easy posses
sion of the world which brings the
sense of freedom, the right to be. hap
py, and the faith that life is greater
than its works, and man more inn
pOrtant than his toll. A race like an
individual, must get this Consciousness
OF possession before the work OF the
day becomes imperative and absorbing.
