CATHOLIC WOMAN'S
CLUB MEETING

The Catholic Woman's club met at
the club rooms Wednesday afternoon.
After opening invocation and roll call
a very entertaining musical program
was given by Miss Genevieve Win
chester and Master Gordon billiard.
The business meeting followed, after
which Mrs. Robert Fogle read paper
on "The Status of Education in Mexi-
CO." Mrs. Fogle said in part:
The first band of twelve Franc s.
cans landed in Mexico in 1924. They
Immediately began erecting schools.
Nothing heretofore had been done for
the Indian in the line Of education. 1t
was difficult to convince the Indian
that the school was necessary and as
a consequence the missionaries met
with many obstacles. Two very i'm
portant educators in the early days
of Mexico were Pedro de Gante and
Bishop Zumarraga. They did much to-
wards training and educating the In
diam The Mexican people have shown
marked aptitude for advancement
wherever educational facilities have
been afforded them. There are now
about 5000 public schools in Mexico,
two-thirds of which are maintained by
the state and national governments,
and the remainder by the municipali-
ties. There are over 1000 private re-
ligious and association schools. The
government also maintains schools of
law, medicine, agriculture, commerce,
mining and engineering. Besides the
great national library In the capital,
there are about $50 other public IL
braries throughout the republic.
She told Of the fine qualities of the
Mexican women as wives and mothers.
The music, flowers and pleasant sur
roundings conserve feminine traits
and qualities, which give to Mexican
womanhood an attractive and special
atmosphere which changing time does
not easily dispel. She gave much in
teresting data in reference to the
methods employed in teaching. Her
paper was exceedingly interesting
throughout After the paper adjourn
ment was taken until January 20.

The newspaper account referred to
in the foregoing letter reads as fol-
lows.
When the American army of occupa-
ton started its march toward the
Rhine on November II, one of our
crack divisions. the Thirty-Second,
was celebrating an anniversary. Just
six months before, this division first
planted the American flag on German
soil in Alsace. On May 10. Wisconsin
and Michigan men came under enemy
she'll fire, and from that date to No
vember IL the division has outranged
Boche guns. Only ten days after its
turn in the trenches the Thirty-Sec.
ond chased the Boche from the Ourcq
to the vesle. Then it went to sector
north Of scissors and stormed Juvig-
ny plateau, fighting side by side with
the heroic ''poilus" of General Man
gin. After that victory with the
French it had rest for ten days be-
fore getting ready for the final drive.
The American army's scrap north of
Verdun was but three days old when
the ThirtySecond went in, and for the
next three weeks the Wisconsin and
Michigan boys battled the Boche for
Kreimhilde Stellung. 1t was they who
finally broke through the key position
of LA Dame Marie" from which they
then pushed on to Freya Stellung,
pushing the Boche gunners out of
Bantheville Wood. They carried the
'line up to the point where the final
attack, on November 1, was launched,
and followed in the support of the di-
visions which crossed the Mouse at
Dun and captured Stenay. In the
last few days of the war the Thirty.
Second went into line in the Meuse
|!bridgehead sector, and with the
French were III the midst of an at
tack when the srmistice stopped fight
ing. During the war the division has
fought on five fronts-Alsace, the
Vesle, scissors, Argonne and the
Meuse-and has fought twenty OF
Germanys best division, among them
the Prussian Guards. 1t has never
yielded a yard Of ground to the en-
emy's counter-attacks.

American consul there and l will re-

French ship l came across on. sure

was a very nervous guy and didn't
expect a very good recommendation.
But, low and behold, everything is ex-
cellent-the best kind possible. l am
proud to go back to N. Y. with such
good one. too. 1t has been twenty

excitement, as there were seventeen

Fight Was Terrible

Harvey D. Weidman writes to Mr.
Olson at Reedsburg as follows:
We put in a hitch of AZ days the
last time in the Argonne Forest, and
it was simply hell. lost 8 killed, %
wounded. Went in with 174 head OF
horses and came out with 81. Our
artillery brigade supported five diff
erent divisions of infantry. In that
time and our own, the 80, twice. Why
am alive today is a mystery, per-
haps because I always was more or
less lucky at the woman's game OF

High Prices to Expanded
Foreign Paper Currency

Paris, France. Jan s.-United States
senator Robert L Owen. of Oklahoma,
after comforting with authorities here

the high prices prevailing in Europe

that America reserve banks or a

American system would be highly ad-
vantageous in making the American
gold dollar the measure OF interna-
