On Sunday, June 70, Rev. Stang OF
the state of Washington, a nephew OF
the deceased Bishop Stang, celebrated
Mass, after which / preached a short
sermon on 1.-THE goal of our journey
over the sea to life" Quite a few peo-
ple attended Mass. Later on h sea

one Of those days that are particularly
undesirable at tire outset OF a trip on
the ocean, as these weather conNitions
cause a great deal Of sea-sickness and
worry. So the usual offerings to Nep-
tune were made by quite a few pas
sengers whose faces told their oWn
shory., Many seats in the dining room
remained vacant that Sunday. h
concert given by the sailors band was
enjoyed by few. In the evening Mrs.
Hank of first class sent a huge7basket
filed with the choicest fruits to the
priests as a token of gratitude for the
divine services in the morning. At

Washington, ID. C.-The joint COM
mittee on amnesty of this city has
just been enlarged to include groups
from several other cities, for the pnr-
pose of carrying ON a nationwide cam
paign for the release of the political
prisoners. Some Is men are still con-
fined in federal jails for written or
spoken opposition to the war. None
of them is serving time for an act OF
violence. All of them have been in
confinement for at least three years,
and some of them for more than four
years. The great majority have still
more than six years to serve and ele-
ven of them more than sixteen years.
In general, their utterances against the
war amounted to no more than the as
sertion that this is a capitalistic war;"
or that the working classes should go
on strike against the war. The case of
Dan Buckley is typical. He received a
ten-year sentence for publishing or
permitting to be published in the but
letin of the Il w. w. union, Of which
he was secretary, statements to the eff
feet that the war was made by the cap
italist class, and that the union would
defend members who had been arrest
ed for falling to register. Mr.. Buck
ley is still In prison, although his ap-
plication for pardon was under consid-
Grafton months ago.. Nor is this the
worst of the situation. 1t is probable
that the majority of these prisoners
were not proved to be guilty of even
illegal ~utterances, for more than half
of them were among the group Of SO
who were convicted on 400 counts in
Chicago by a jury which took only Is
minutes to do the job!
All the other countries that partici-
pated in the war freed their political
prisoners within a year after the sign
ing of the armistice. President Hard
ing has steadfastly refused to grant
general amnesty. He contends that
each Ease must be examined on it's
merits. If we are to judge by the rate
at which the Department of Justice
has moved up to the present in the
examination of individual cases, the
c will not improbably continue
for two or three more years. Appa-
rently, the department is acting on the
theory that since these men belonged

NOVEMBER 70 TO IS is NATIONAL
CANCER WEEK.

Cancer causes death in more adults
than any other disease, the death arte
from this disease in the past two years
in the state of Minnesota SURPRISING
that from tuberculosis. In Minnesota
2193 people died from cancer in 1921.
AS yet the cause of this malady is
unknown. In an effort to combat its
increasing death rate the American
Society for the Control Of Cancer is
conducting an intensive. educational
campaign, that the early signs and
symptoms of cancer may be familiar
to all.
The disease is not hereditary nor
contagious, nor it is a blood disease. It
may develop in any part of the body,
but most frequently the female breast
and womb, the stomach, intestines, lip,
and mouth, are the organs involved.
In the past q tumor in the greast,
an irregular discharge in women, a
persisting Sore on the lip or in the
mouth, has been considered an limo
cent affair, and not until the cancer
has progressed to the stagefthat any
one would recognize it as such has the
patient become aware Of the necessity
of seeking advice and treatment. It is
true that not all of these conditions
are cancer, but they frequently are,
and should be considered as such un-
til their Innocence IS proven.

some distance. A large number OF
fish, making leaps and bounds across
the waves, followed the boat for some
time. Three hundred ninety-seven
miles were covered today.
! June 16.-Fr. Adalbert, o. S. B., said
Mass and l assisted him. The weather
is rather dreary. Several boats ap-
peared far off on the horizon; a large
whale partly emerged for a second
near the boat and made a hurried
dive; numerous sea-gulls soar around
the ship. To avoid danger from ice
bergs we took a more southeryl course
which brought us within afew hun
bred miles from the Azores. Toward
evening a strong breeze came UP and
the sea became quite rough. Three
hundred eighty-seven miles were made
today.
June 17.-Upon rising, several ships
could be seen nearby. What was the
reason? One of the stewards preached
the secret. Early in the morning fire
had broken out in the kitchen of first
class, so the boats had beenN called to
the rescue by the wireless operator.
The crew Of our boat had succeeded in
putting out the fire before the other
ships arrived upon the e After
some time they returned to their us
ual lanes, disappearing n by one.
Meanwhile the frightened passengers
had sufficient new material for lively
conversations on the various dangers
that beset the path of an oceanJ1iner.
Three hundred eighty-seven miles were
recorded for today.
June 18.-It is quite chilly outside.
Three hundred ninety-four miles were
made. Tomorrow, i second Sunday
aboard the Lapland, will give us the
first glimpse of Europe. Everyone is
anxiously looking forward to that
event. Sea-gulls appear about8the boat,
announcing that Scilly Islands are not
very far off.
Sunday, June 19.-Everybody was
up early, anxious to see land first. The
sea is quite calm, the gulls around
the boat number by the hundreds. In
the reading room Mass was celebrated

AT IL "A. M. all was In great COM
motion, for some one had spied Scilly
Islands In the hazy distance. How
anxious we all were to get the first
glimpse Of Europe, the goal OF the long
journey. Every eye was strained to
discern some building far off + to
trace some road leading up the billy
shore. "a church could also be seen
on the top Of a distant hill. Soon we
passed Lands End, a cape on the
southwest extremity of England not
far from the great tin mines Of Corn
wall, then Lizard Point. At $3.50 2,
M. our boat slowly and majestically
pulled into the port Of Plymouth, the
first stopping place on our voyage
Here we stayed for three hours. A
beautiful place is Plymouth! The eye
never tires measuring the vast extent
Of the waterfront, of viewing the
great wharves, the hilly country with
its green meadows and grand villas,
the swarms Of people strolling along
the shore or climbing the hill-tops in
the warm Sunday afternoon sun, OF
surveying the boats and vessels OF
every description. including various
warships riding at anchor, all a mass
of interesting e n never to be for

came to my mind at this juncture. Why
should it not apply to America also:
Great Britain is a sea-faring nation,
America could be the sea-faring nation
if she seriously wanted to.
Many Of the passengers left US at
Plymouth, while new ones came
aboard. Thousands of sacks of mail
were rolled off the Lapland; In fact il
seemed almost incredible to us that
such enormous piles Of mail could
have been slowed away in the hulls
Of our boat beside the other cargo
she carried. Toward evening we left
Plymouth and turned toward the port
Of Cherbourg on the French coast, our
second stopping place. The sunset
that evening, one of the grandest ! had
ever witnessed, set the ripping waves
around us aglow, a fiery ball on the
distant horizon seemed to sink grad
ually into the ocean, coloring the sky
and the water around it with a bright
purple hue, (which slowly vanished as
night anne on. Far away to the west
Eddystone Lighthouse played its
bright lights Internationally upon the
expanse of water. In the evening q
census was taken of every human be-
ing aboard, SO the British authorities
had decided. Many comments were
made on the seemingly useless ques-
ton that had to be answered.

HOW TO REMOVE SCOT.

Large numbers of single roof and
defective fue fires are being reported,
due to the increasing use of soft coal.
The accumulations of SCOT on heating
surfaces reduce the value of the fuel,
and frequently clog the fues and start
fires. The Federal Fuel Administration
Board suggests the following plan for
|remova1$of SCOT:
The fire is put into good condition
with a substantial body of hot fuel.
Common salt, thoroughly dried. is then
thrown or sprinkled onto the mean
descent fuel bed in a quantity depend
ing entirely on the size of the furnace.
In the case Of a house heating furnace,
one pound at a time is ample, in the
case of a large power plant boiler,
four or five scoops full may be reqnir-
ed. The hampers are kept open so IS
to maintain the furnace temperature
and the salt is allowed to remain un-
til the fumes have entirely disappeared.
Immediately upon charging the salt,
the furnace becomes filled with dense
white fumes which may require as
much as half an hour to entirely dis
appear. If results are not secured or
the first application, it should be res
peated as many times as necessary.
Once the heating surface is thor
oughly cleaned a small application
every few days is usually sufficient to
keep it SO.
Everyone suing soft coal is urged by
the administration to use this remark
ably simple and cheap process for get
ting rid Of the SCOT, cleaning and heat
ing surfaces Of boilers, thus saving
large amounts of coal, preventing fires
from chimneys and generally conserv-
ing all along the line of heating and
the production of power.

Ex-Seryice Men Entitled to Dental
Treatment.
There seems to be q misunderstanding
ing as to whether ~ex-seryice men snf-
fering from dental disabilities q file
a claim for compensation after Aug.
8, 1922. The Sweet Bill Amendment
provides that free dental treatment
cannot be furnishedbysthe Bureau for
disabilities rated less than ten per
cent unless claim was made before
August 8, 1922. Of within q year
after discharge, whichever Is the later
Edate. S
Under present regulations, q large
percentage dof dental claims are rated
as less than ten per cent, and therefore
no compensation is payable. However,
some dental disabilities are rated more
than ten per cent, thus emitting the
claimant to both compensation and
free treatment, providing the disability
is connected with the service, even
though the claim vas filed after Aug.
8, 1922. Approximately ten thousand
claimants have been granted free dem
tai treatment by the Veterans Bureau
in District No. 10, comprising the
states of Minnesota, North and South
Dakota and Montana, G. D. Hubbard,
District Manager. E,
Under the present law all disability
claims must be fled within five years
from the claimants separation from
the service. Such a claim for compen-
sation is considered a claim for all
the disability from which it is found
that the claimant is suffering.
1t is presumed that a disabled man
does not know the nature or extent Of
his disability and therefore %ex-service
men suffering from dental troubles as
a result of service should Immediately

Senate and Foreign Relations.

lust now the controversy over the proposed
reservation to the so-called four-power treaty
seems to be less over the possibility that the
United States may be involved in war without
congressional assent than it is to establish the
Brandagee theory that the senate must be con-
suited with regard to foreign relations at all
times.
The first point should be regarded as having
been effectuay settled in the case of the League
OF Nations. Then it was admitted on all sides
that the president can not declare war, nor enter
into treaty that might by inference induce
declaration of war, without the assent OF con-
sress A new and novel claim has been set up
hy Senator Brandagee, which, simply stated,
amounts to declaration that the senate has
svKst to sit in on any negotiations the president
foot BE carrying on with a foreign nation. This
sees' s. little beyond the language of the Consti-
Ep-He (the presidenD shall have power, by and
with the advice and consent of the senate, to
make treaties, provided two-thirds OF the sena-
tors present concur.
lust what does that mean? From the time
Iohn Jay crossed the Atlantic to negotiate in
company with Benjamin Franklin and John
Adams the Treaty of Paris, by which the inde-
pendence of the colonies was established, down
un,il now. the same rule has been followed. High
commissioners have represented the president,
and when their work had been approved and
signed it has been sent to the senate tor con-
frmation; in this latter act is noted the advice
and consent
If the Brandagec contention means anything,
Il IS to abandon what has been considered the
rreropative of the executive from the beginning,
and vest the senate with an enlarged power in
the handling of treaty or other negotiations with
foreign governments. 1t is not the tour-power
treaty that is in danger, but the whole treaty
making process that is under consideration
