There is talk in the parish of hav-

on it's wall. Already women with
sickly and crippled children are be-

early morn until late at night. No
cures have been reported yet. Father
Dan says nothing has been done by
those in authority in the diocese to
make st. Martins shrine church.

Outside a church the casual OBJ

Women Trapped in Rail
road Cut Haze Close Call.

Geneseo, N. Y.-Caught in narrow
precipitous cut when Pennsylvania
train approached, several horsewomen
in the Genesee Valley Hunt clubs fox
chase rode for their lives before the
train and reached safety only a few
feet ahead of the speeding locomo-
tive.
The riders had attempted to gain
distance on the fox by taking short
cut of mile along the railroad tracks
near Fowlersville. After they had enSN
tered deep cut with sides too Steep
for a horse to climb they heard the
whistle of the approaching train te-
hind the curve
=. The only choice lay between dig
mounting and abandoning their horses
to death or making mad dash for
the end of the cut. They chose the
latter course, and spurred their mounts
frantically as the train roared into
view.
The railroad ties made poor footing
for the horses, and the train gained
on the fleeing party despite the jam
ming on of the brakes by the engineer.
BY getting every possible ounce of
speed from the horses the women
reached open space and turned out of
the locomotives path with only mo-
ment to spare.

the message arrived.
Marie Louise Bernier, daugh-

chant, married Col. Jack Lea
croft of the British army in 1917.
Leacroft was reported missing.
Distracted, the bride came to
this country. She married Fitz-
patrick in San Francisco in 1920,
first obtaining a divorce.
She met Colonel Leacroft on
the street here some time after
the marriage. He begged her to
divorce Fitzpatrick, explaining
that a gas attack had brought

the army, he had searched for
her on the continent, in Eng

Mrs. Fitzpatrick laughed off
her former husbands sugges-

and is reported to have married
another. An unfinished suicide
note left by the wife stated
merely that "life is not worth

be buried under her maiden

Such an unsatisfactory arrangement

to plan a house which will be COM

The War Debts
BY MATTHEW WOLL
Vive President, American Fedora
ton Of Labor.

Vive President, American Fedora
ton Of Labor.
As we observe Labor Day this
year it is my belief that one Of our
major concerns should be as TO the
future state of employment and
the consequent future well-being
of our people.
America stands today as the
yealthiest nation in the world, but
we know very well that the nation
as a whole may be wealthy, while
at the same time poverty may stalk
among the people.
There may be such a thing as
nation too wealthy for the good #
its people, particularly when
goodly share of its wealth consists
of credits. That is the situation
that | have in mind at this time.
America IS and recently has been
making very determined efforts %
bring about definite arrangements
for the payment of the huge war
debt owed to US by other nations.
wonder whether we really want
those debts paid.
There are two phases of the
question--an ethical side and a
purely material side.
We loaned vast sums of money
such sums as were never loaned
before by any nation-for the pur-
pose of winning the war. The war
was worth the winning and we
pledged to the world our last man
and our last dollar for its winning.
This we did, not merely through
governmental spokesman, but by
every means at the command of
people for their self-expression.
Had it been necessary we would
still be fighting, giving men and
money, to save the institutions of
democracy from destruction. We
won cheaply, and We won a price
less victory. So let US stop quib-
bling and fussing about that side
of the question. We gave freely
and gladly; let us not now dis
grace what we then did.
The material side, as it stands
today, is a different side, but ii
comes back to about the same
thing.
If war debts are paid--if France
and England and Belgium and all
the other nations pay what they
owe-how will they pay and where
will we, as people, be at?
If they pay they must pay
through wealth created within their
own borders and sold elsewhere.
There is no other way short of a
miracle and no statesman has yet
even limited at a miracle.
In plain words, payment must be
made through commodity produc-
ton and sale. And the sales will
have to be made either to us, or to
other countries in competition with
us. If the sales are made in this
country American production will
be to that extent shut down. If

Dawes Is Beaten.

Swampscott, Mass, Aug. 1S.-Vice
President Dawes is hopelessly beaten
in his campaign to change the senate
rules, according to Senator Moses of
New Hampshire, who called on the
president here.
Senator Mcclellan of Tennessee
voiced the same views. Both predict
that defenders of the rules will tear
the doughty general to pieces when
the question reaches the senate floor.
Opponnts of Dawes declare he will be
challenged If he claims that one man
can block legislation. 1t will also be
shown that under the Dawes plan any
proposal can be rushed through the
senate. Under the present system,
proposed Legislation is thoroughly dis
cused before it comes to a vote. This
permits better public understanding

sales are made in ether countres-
South American countries for eA-
ample-in competition With u, our
products will be excluded and our
production t. that extent smut
down.
In any case American workmen
will Be thrown out Of Work. our
commodity production will fall our
wage scales will be menaced ana
cur standards Of living endangered.
We may play the shyioek role
but We shall pay dearly for our
action.
There are many reasons for these
general conclusions. But what mat
ters is what will happen IN the
future and not what has happened
in the past.
Let me call attention 10 another
state of affairs. No European ma
ton mas yet recovered from the
effects of the war. Democratic
institutions are endangered in more
than one country. The unemploy-
ment in England. the Strengthened
financial condition of the French
government-these are matters Of
grave concern to Us. America can
not avoid or evade the consequences
of disaster in any of the major
countries of the Old World.
BY our action in connection with
the great war debts We can help
to safeguard democracy, or We can
help to weaken its foundations just
as we choose.
Having these things in mind, let
US forget the war debtsi
Let US perform an act that will
safeguard our own people and their
employment, that will help to bring
stability to a sadly distraught
world, that will carry forward the
purposes for which the war was
fought.
| can not in this limited space un-
dertake to elaborate a method.
That will not be difficult once the
great resolve is taken.
But | do believe it fitting that on
Labor Day we should express this
feeling of justice and generosity
to the world.
Let US modify or cancel the war
debts,
