at the grave of the youth who made
the supreme sacrifice
Joe" Kildutf was well known in the
Twin Cities, was universally popular
and word of his death came as blow
TO scores of friends as well as rela
tives.
kilduff entered the service April /.
1918, when he left here with contln-
gent for Camp Dodge, Iowa. After
three weeks preliminary training az
the Iowa cantonment he was assigned
to a replacement detachment, sent to
the AtlantisC seaboard and from there
to France Early in the summer he
saw action on the west front with
Company NJ, 18th infantry, 35th Diyi'
sion. 1t was while his outfit" was
in the thick of the fighting at Apre,
mont, in the Argonne Forest, that the
Peru youth was killed Sept, q, 1918.
Almost year after Kilduff had met
death a compass he carried in his serH-
ice overseas was sent to his parents
here as the outcome OF an unusual
incident. In February of 1919 Ned
Keegan was with First Division unit
which had moved up into Germany.
Keegan visited a X of c. hut and was
in conversation with Chaplain King, a
Jesuit father, with the 18th Infantry.
The discussion turned to K. of c. az
fairs. keegan mentioned that he was
a member of Cavert Council No. 1872,
at La Sale. With this the chaplain
told of having buried soldier from
the 35th Division on whose body had
been found a compass marked with
the x. OF c. emblem and the number,
1872. When the chaplain told Keegan
that the compass carried the initials,

for others to take the initiative when
it comes to shouldering now a pro
portionate part of the inevitable wal
losses. The year of 1922 could be
made better than it will be if a wide.
| spread conviction of their duty 10
themselves fell upon az the people
and they responded to it.
Preachments, however, do not seem
to convince the people, who take their
own time in which to do things, ever
the things that concern them wholly.
That leaves reconstruction to work
itself out more slowly, with now and
then a courageous leader in industrial,
financial or political life aiding it as
best he can. 1t cannot be overlooked,
nevertheless, that improvements in
business actually are being made from
day to day. These improvements are
more in the nature of plans conceived
and perfected than in the launching
of new enterprises Or expanding those
already established. 1t is seen that
the railroads have announced another
reduction in freight rates, which will
help business improvement by reduc-
ing commodity costs and increasing
shipments. This probably was influ-
enced by the fact that the railroads
early in December had 52S, 158 idle cars
which they would be glad to see en-
ployed in hauling goods.
The treasury department publishes
a report in which it says a steady gain
has been made by trade, and that the
advance toward readjustment has been
more rapid than IA expected a few
months ago. No boom conditions are
claimed by the department and no
prediction for anything of the kind is
made, but the department says it is
felt that there is a trend toward pros
perity. Most of this conclusion is
based upon an observation of what
business has been transacted in the
latter half Of the year and upon spec
ulation as to the influences to be ex-
erted on international trade and ex,
change by the promised success of the
arms conference. The conference,
promising the most extensive economy
of any international movement yet
launched, would be bound to attain
the prominence thus given it.
