800 'AMERICANRED'
RUSSIAN CHILDREN
RETURNED IN SAFETY
Children's Ark Commanded by
American Red Cross Returns

Correspondent.


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.-Ninety
per cent Of the 500 Russian Children's
Colony. who were taken practically
around the world in an effort to reach
home by the American Red Cross,
have been safely returned to their
parents.
The remaining few whose relatives
could not be located are being cared
for by the Society of Towns Of Petro-
grad in good boarding school, ac-
eording to DIR. Herbert VI. Coulter, who
had charge of the "ark'' which took
the children from VLadiyostok to Riga
and who arrived here recently.
DIR. Coulter brought an interesting
account Of the reunion of some Of the
youngsters with their. parents. In sew
eral cases parents did not recognize
their own children.
The trip from Vladiyostok to Riga
and Petrograd was accomplished in
three months. with stops made at san
Francisco, New York and Brest, where
supplies were taken on.

eve took on enough supplies for six
months. because we did not know
where we were going to land next.
From Brest we headed for the Baltic
Sea via the Kiel canal. The Baltic
Free States were very friendly to us,
but did not want so many Russians to
land upon their shores.
Upon our arrival in Petrograd we
secured the use Of the Halina Santa
rum. which was built by the czar
shortly before the war for treatment Of
fubereular patients but was never
used. With this as a headquarters we
were able to distribute the children in
an orderly manner and in groups Of
one hundred at a time until all were
disposed Of" said DR.. Coulter.

MEANING OF THE GERMAN WORD
"REICH"

1t is common miSconception that
the German republic in retaining the
name Deutsches Reich, is acting incon-
sistently. There seems to be a wide
spread notion that Reich means only
kingdom or realm. AS soon as a text
of the present German constitution
was available, Professors William Ben
nett Munro and Arthur Norman Hol-
combe undertook a scientific transla-
tion of the document for publication
by the World Peace Foundation. On
technical matters of Technology, they
were especially careful and consulted
freely with their colleagues of the De
partment of Political Science of Har-
ward University, with Professor John
A. Walz and DR.. F. w. c.. Lieder of the
German department, who was fresh
from an extensive government service
in translating German official docu-
ments for the use of our own govern
ment. Also the text was carefully re-
vised from a legal point of view by
Dean Roscoe Pound of the Harvard
Law School, who is perhaps second

nical Technology of German jurispru.
idence. The translators, after careful
I consideration, adopted the English
word commonwealth" as the best rem,
dering of the German word Reich in
the present constitution.

REPEATING A MALICIOUS
CALUMNY.

The Calumny, that the Catholics of
this country lowe an allegiance that
is foreign to the government of the
United States" is SO obviously false;
it has been proved so often by non
Catholics, as we'll as Catholics, to be
an ineXcusable lie, remarks the Cath
Olic Telegraph of Cincinnati, that it
is hard to understand how any person
can be so blindly malicious or so in
vincibly ignorant as to repeat it in this
day of universal education.
From the time our infant colonies
were struggling for independence
down to the present, the United States
of America have had no more loya
citizens than those who profess and
practice the Catholic faith. From
Commodore Barry, the Father of the
American Navy, to Admiral Benson;
from General Stephen Moylan, who, or
Washington's recommendation, was
made Commissary General of the Con
tinental army by Congress, to our owr

SAVE A SCHOOL IN Fill.

Isn't it pity that those willing to
spend their lives in such spots as the
islands of Oceanica should not have
the means at hand to utilize to the ut
most their splendid self-sacrifice. Aft
er thirty years in mission in Fiji the
Sisters of the Third Order Regular of
Mary do not own school-house that
will meet the government regulations.
Sister Maurice says, Readers of
these lines living in big cities where
building material is of the best and
easily procured, will be amused to
hear that the present structure was
constructed of the debris OF an old
American vessel that had been wreck
ed and finally drifted to the shore OF
this island.
Eagerly the good natives secured
this valuable salvage, and with it a
shelter was built. But the shelter is
not only too small, it is not healthful,
and only the most robust children
should use it.
"To explain why this school, though
so long established, has never yet been
rebuilt is to admit that the station at
Natori is the poorest in the vicariate
Some stations are able to create or Sc
cure small incomes within their own
territory. Not so, here. All assistance
must come from without, and yet we
rely on the school to be the chle1
agent in converting a people as yet
almost wholly given to pagan-error.
1.-THE government has also made
some new laws regarding buildings
that threaten us seriously. These laws
REQUIRE larger and better accommoda
lions for our pupils, and IT they are
enforced there will be nothing for III
to do but to close altogether.
perhaps this brief, and l venture
to say, pathetic, tale will meet the eye
of some generous school mistress, Wht
in the cause of education will come u
the assistance of the humble and eX
piring institution of learning IN tht

ONE KIND OF A BIRD.

The raven is a bird among birds,
self-reliant and formidable Natural
lists, says writer in the New York
Sun, call him the most wary, the most
amusing, the cleverest of birds. He is
also described as grave, dignified and
sedate, says the Youths Companion.
The bill of the raven is formida-
bic weapon, strong, stout, sharp at the
edges and curved toward the tip. 1t
is his one weapon of defense, but it an
swers the purpose of two or three.
Like the dirk of the old-time plains
man, it is available as dagger or as
carving knife; and it can also be
used as pair of pincers. With. one
blow it can kill a rat, and the raven
can easily drive it through the spines
of hedgehog. If it is true that the
raven will never attack man, prob.
ably it is not so much from lack of
courage as from the birds keen intel
lectual perception of what is unwise
Like most of his tribe, the raven is
omnivorous; his dietary ranges from
worm to a whale" When his nest
is built beneath some overhanging
rock, you can often discover it's posi-
ton by the remains of rabbit neatly
laid in the short grass at the top OF
the cliff. In districts where food is
scarce, the raven will attack, without
scruple, newly born lamb.
The raven has a passion for soil
tude. He will tolerate in the neigh
borhood of his nest not even his own
offspring. He drives them ruthIessly
away as soon as they are able to shift
for themselves.

While grandma shakes her head

To stir the batter fast,
An drop the raisins one by one,
Till they're all in at last.

SNoRocRAcY AT SCHOOL.

The Colorado Springs Board of Ed
ucation has taken stand for plain
American democracy in the public
schools, position that should be
copied by other boards wherever the
necessity exists.
Students are forbidden to ride to
school in their private automobiles. 1t
is stated that it was common to see
100 machines parked around the high
school building before the order went
into effect. A snobocracy had been
created in this manner. The youth
( with car considered himself above
the common herd, and he was courted
by the young women because he pos

youth without car considered him

For the new day to be breaking

Just a little tired, yearning

Just little tired, trying
Yet again
To smile and cease the crying
Through the pain.
Just little tired, bending

For the new morn to be breaking
Clear and bright.

CHRISTIANITY WORKS WONDERS,

Again we quote Sister Mary Edith of
North Africa, who is sending back to
the United States many interesting
bits of information regarding the Ka-
byles among whom the White Fathers
and the White Sisters are making
some excellent converts. OF these
Catholics she says:
Their homes are quite different
from those of the Mohammedan Ka-
byles. In Christian home, cleanliness
and tidiness at once strike the visitor.
A Kabyle home generally consists of
one apartment.
"In the non-Catholic homes, grown
people, old and young, children, goats,
pigeons, dogs, all squeeze into the
same apartment, which no more re.
sembles room than poultry yard
for all enter through the same door.
way, and the family is only separated
| from the animals by very low sort
| of wainscot.
''In Christian homes, one is always
sure to find Crucifix and some holy
| pictures; and since the enforcement
| of the Sacred Heart, picture of oul
Blessed Lord has it's own corner adorn
| ed with flowers and candles.
Another striking feature amongst
our Catholic neophytes is the respect
| and affection bestowed upon the wife
and mother. The Catholic woman is
loved by her husband and children
she is also cared for when ill. Instead
of leaving all the hard labor to the
poor wife or mother, the Catholic Ka
byle husband does his share and teach
es his sons to help him, whilst tht
daughters learn to help their mothe
indoors. All this is wholly contrar!

Kong Tien-Te was young and valiant. She
didn't fear fatigue. She took beggar's wal
let, kissed her husband goodby and left the
house. She felt some twinges of regret as she
crossed the inclosed field, planted with vege-
tables, in which the domestic animals wandered
to and fro. Before she disappeared she turned
her face again to the peaceful dwelling where
she had so often heard the sound of the ham,
mer upon the anvil and the chirping of the
birds under the caves. A little tree which she
and her husband had planted in the court the
morning of their marriage was about as tall as
child. Kong Tien-Te, who thought of the
son she hoped for, smiled at the tiny tree, at
journey.
The plain before her was vast and fiat yell

spread great sandy fields in which the pis-

great distance, she could see the red roofs of

The gnats swarmed around her. She chased
them off with her hand and fell asleep.
