But week or so later Mrs. Boomer

He'd looked after her and brought her

Vera had been strong for Uncle Peter
too until she came back from some

editor of the Globe, being a Scotch
man, desires compromise from Pres.

expressed a wish rather than belief
or conviction.
Not one single word or phrase of
President de Valera's statement, even
as it appeared in the Globe, would
justify the following: "This statement
introduces a new principle. 1t is
withdrawal by the official head of the
Irish Republic of the demand that
ireland be set free to decide her own
International relations" The state
ment is nothing Of the sort. 1t is an
assertion that the Republic of Ireland
is willing to negotiate a certain treaty
with England just as France, Belgium
or Germany might do and on the same
status as these States would do. Those
who wish to find a compromise may
do so, but they cannot prove its ex.
istence from President de Valera's
words. It is a case of the wish being
father of the thought.

Mother Alfred's work in education and
philanthropy. the memorial tablet was
unveiled and blessed. The ceremony
opened with the chanting of Saint

Heffron delivered the panegyric. The
eulogy was a magnificent tribute to the
heroic work begun by Mother Alfred

remarkable development and expan.

AMERICAN LEGION.
To Aid K. Of c. Schools and Employ

New York, Feb. 12.-Deflnite an
nouncement was made yesterday that
the various state organizations Of the
American Legion will interest posts
within their jurisdiction of the edu-
cational inducements which the
knights of Columbus have established
throughout the country for demobi-
lized service men and women.
According to William ]. Mckinley,
Supreme Secretary, the Knights have
arranged to keep the thousands Of
posts informed Of the opening and
progress of the schools which are free
to all former service men. "There
are more than sixty schools already
operating" said Mr.. Mckinley, "and by
midsummer it is expected that the
total attendance will easily be 250,000
men and women. The schools will be
open to all women war workers who
have certificates of service from the
government which will allow Red
Cross and Army nurses to qualify and
women who served with the navy.
action has also been promised to
us by the Legion in our work of find
ing jobs for the veterans. The whole
territory taken in by the eastern
northeastern department of our EN-.
ployment service which takes in New
York, Boston, Providence, Baltimore,
Jersey City, Philadelphia, Bangor and
other cities are to benefit by the ef-
forts which the local posts will exert
in finding work for their 'buddies'
who are unemployed and registered
on the enrolment books of the K. Of
G. bureaus"
