sheviki than any other cause, accord
ing to Professor William J. McAuliffe,
of Cathedral College, New York, who
to-day addressed the Catholic Educa-
tional Association in annual conven-
ton
"The growth ana power of Bolshevism
and l. W. W.ism, revolutionary organi-
cations of the most radical anti
religious and anti-national type, was
made possible by industrial leaders
who have hard spots in their hearts
and soft spots in their heads" he said.
The Rev. John A Ryan, D. D., of
the Catholic University Of America,
Washington, D. c., declared better
educational facilities for the working
man are necessary to stay the spread
OF radicalism
The Right Rev. Thomas J. Shahan,
of Washington, D. c., was reelected
president, and Cardinal Gibbons was

Mrs. Humiston Arraigned

Mrs. Grace Humiston, the lawyer who
gained prominence through bringing
about the discovery of Ruth Cruger's
body after the police of the West 125th
Street Station had failed to solve the
mystery of the girls murder, was ar
raigned in Washington Heights Court
yesterday on the charge of conducting
dance hall without a license.
Captain Patrick Gargan Of the West
125th Street Station told Magistrate
Simpson he found a dance being given
at 70 Manhattan Avenue Monday night,
at which girls between fourteen and
sixteen were dancing with men known
to the police as corner loafers.
Mrs. Humiston said the dance was
under the auspices of the Be Kind
Club, that Objectionable characters
were barred and the five-cent charge
for each dance was merely to cover
part of the expenses. The case was
continued.

Columbia, May 3.-How time does
fly! 1t doesn't seem that eight months
have passed since certain young
South Carolina soldier wrote TO his
friends and relatives at homo and
told them Of a Belgian boy whom he
had met-Florent. 1t was kind OF
letter of Introduction, as it were. Then
Florent wrote.
1t was a beautiful letter, in the
rather ornate and polite continental
scrip, but in perfect English. Yes. it
was a beautiful letter, SO full Of sad
ness, yet brimming ovcr with hope,
with the JOY of the coming Of the
Americans, with the patriotic fcrvor

great battle in which the 11Sth had
taken a conspicuous and gallant part.

ed the highest honors OF this country.
The wounded boy lay for ten hours on
the field, bleeding profusely from a
terrible orifice torn in his back by the
bullet passing out. He refused succor,
telling the men to go get the Germans
first. When evacuated to a hospital
In England he dragged through long
weeks with pleu1isy, and even the in
fluenza.
After that mad drive, nothing was
heard Of F'lorent. He was a wireless
