i, s. Will PROTEST
LoOT|NG IN CUBA
American Citizens Home h
Havana Robbed, Hull
Is Informed.

BY the Associated Press.
The United States Government WILL
make representations to Havana author
Nies as a result Of the looting OF an
American citizens home there.
Details of the affair were not avail
able today at the State Department, nor
was Secretary Hull informed of the
name of the American concerned.
He said, however, that apparently no
one had been hurt.
On the basis of reports from con-
suls received late last night, Hull said
conditions in the interior of Cuba ap-
peared more favorable than at any time
for a week past, but that the situation
In and near Havana was not so good.
Several other houses in or near the
island capital were looted last night,
Hull said
The Secretary OF State said repre-
sentations may have already been made
by Ambassador Welles to available au-
thoritieS.
The revolutionary government of pro-
yisional President Grau San Martin
has not been recognized by the United
States and it was assumed WelleS would
place his protests before Havana police
or others directly in charge.
Several serious labor disturbances at
small towns in the interior were re-
ported by Hull. In reading consular
reports of conditions in the larger
cities to the east of Havana, however
he said the situation appeared to have
improved.

Union Condemns

This circular read in part:
"Whereas, the President OF
the United States has seen
fit to reinstote w. A. Miller,
and has also committed
himself to the policy of tn"

letters.
"ResolUed, that the order OF
the President cannot be re-
sGrded in any but a" "n-
friendly light"
A short time later, at the re.
quest of Samuel Gompers, head
of the American Federation OF
Labor, President Roosevelt re-
ceived at the White House the
president and council of that
body and the Miller case was
brought to the Presidents at
tention.
Theodore Roosevelt met the
challenge of their criticism IN
public statement in which he
said:
81 am President of all the
people of the United States
Without regard to creed, color,
birthplace, occupation, or social
condition. My aim is to do
equal and exact justice as
among them oil. In the en-
ployment and dismissal of men
in the Government service 1
can no more recognize the fact
that man does or does not
belong to q union as being
for or against him than 1
can recognize the fact that he
is a Protestant or a Catholic
a Jew or a Gentle, as being
for or against him."
There is in the White House
today another Roosevelt, who
is also President of all the peo-
pie of the United States" with
out regard to whether they do
or do not belong to a labor
union.

Thirty Years Ago

Thirty years ago this month,
the Roosevelt administration
then in power took, in principle,
the same position regarding en-
ployment in the Federal service
at Washington.
On May 18, 1908, the public
printer had removed from the
position of assistant foremen OF
the Government Printing Of
flee William A. Miller, giving as
the reason for his removal that
Miller had been expelled from
a labor union.
Miller then filed a complaint
with the United States Civil
Service Commission that his re-
moval violated the civil service
laws. After careful investiga-
ton of the case, the commission
decided that Miller's removal
was unlawful and requested his
reinstatement.
President Roosevelt immedi-
ately ordered the public printer
to reinstate Miller. saying in his
letter to the public printer that
no rules or regulations of a
union "can be permitted to over
ride the laws of the United
States which it is my sworn
duty to enforce"

The Apparition

Now, the strange thing was
that others who were listening
and looking on could perceive
no sign of a fountain in the
bare rock, any more than they
could perceive the beautiful
lady or hear the voice. But
Bernadette bent down and be-
gan to scratch the earth, and
the little cavity her hands hol-
lowed out suddenly filled with
water, and presently fountain
was gushing. And that took
place, according to the sacred
tradition, on the eleventh day
of February in the year 1858.
And the spring thus miracu-
lously discovered has been flow
ing ever since.
1t was only after exhaustive
inquiry, which lasted four
years, that the story was &C
cepted and the miraculous char
acter of the spring confirmed
by the church. I'VE judge"
wrote the Bishop Of TarbeS,
that Mary, the Immaculate
Mother of God, did really ap-
pear to Bernadette on February
II, 1858, and on certain subse-
quent days, eighteen times in
all, in the Grotto of MaSabielle;
that this appearance bears every
mark of truth, and that the be-
lief of the faithful is well
grounded"
But the church itself counsels
against excessive credulity.
Every patient who claims to
have been healed is subjected to
a medical examination to ascer-
tain whether the cure has been
complete or whether relief has
been only partial and tempo
rary.
That medical bureau, eStab-
lished 40 years ago, has served

The Human Side of the News
Science Cannot Explain Many Lourdes Cures
BY EdLUin G.. Hill
By EdWin C.. Hill.

The White Trains are winding
southwark in France, through
the lofty passes of the Pyrenees,
bearing pilgrims from every
part of the Christian world to
the miraculous Grotto of
Lourdes, one of the greatest of
all Christian shrines. Every
year these White Trains, bur-
dened with the lame, the halt
and the blind, converge on the
little mountain town in the
southwest of France. But this
year, we are told, a million pill
grims, buoyed by faith and hope,
will make the journey to lave
themselves with the miraculous
waters that guSh from a rock.
For Lourdes, this year, cele-
brates the diamond jubilee Of
the apparition.
The pilgrimage is founded on
the tradition of the appearance
of the Blessed Virgin to a sick
girl. In the fourteenth year Of
her life, Bernadette Soubirous
beheld, in the hollow of a rock
at Lourdes, the vision of a young
and most beautiful lady.
'lovelier than I have ever SEEN"
she cried out. There were eight
cen such apparitions in all. and
one day a voice told her to
drink and wash in the fountain.

Mute Symbols

This year, as in the past,
cripples will be carried to the
shrine in beds and in wheel
chairs, or in the arms Of their
friends. Thousands Of these
unfortunates, for whom science
has been able to do nothing,
will seek relief through faith.
A constant throng, a steady
stream OF afflicted pilgrims,
praying in every language Of
the civilized world, move down
the mountain to the sacred
spot. Down the mountain they
come, assisted by friends, rela-
tives or the able-bodied faith
full. Their goal is the sacred
grotto hose walls, blackened
by the candle smoke Of three
quarters of a century, are hung
with crutches and the patches
of the blind-mute symbols OF
the miraculous cures of former
years.
An air of deep religious devo-
ton permeates the scene, one OF
the most affecting this writer
has ever witnessed. There is
excitement indescribable as the
multitude intones a chant, in
terrupted from time to time by
the exhortation of the priest to
kneel and kiss the earth. AS
the chant wells up, the suffer
ing pilgrims are brought to bathe
in the heSNng waters, while the
prayers sound ever louder and
louder, and bathers cry out in
tones that wiring the heart:
II am cured!" I can
walk" I can see!'
There is something wonder
Gully sacred about Lourdes, and
something nightly convincing.
1t is a place for the poor, Tor
the unfortunate, for the victims
of life. 1t is the least CONNER
cial of places. Dollars, pounds
sterling and francs are brought
down to dimes, shillings and
centimes. There is nothing for
sale, but everything is to be
given.
And there is probably in all
the world no greater emotional
thrill to be experienced than to
hear 10000 pilgrims in solemn
procession intoning a trium-
phant Magnificat, marching
with shining eyes as they chant
"Ave Maria! Ave Maria!"

I no longer have any false
illusions about it's value to a
woman. There is no work so
constructive as building home
and the character of a family.

soon as our husbands can earn
enough for the simple neces-
sites of life, WOR KING
WIVES SHOULD RETURN TO
THE HOME, MAKE HOME
MAKING AN ART AGAIN,
AND TEACH THEIR DAUGH-
TERS THAT ART.
This country needs workers
and warriors-but it has also
as great, If not a greater, need
of clear-thinking mothers in
the home. A MOTHER.
Two fine letters. Two intel

see as straight and talk as
bravely as these women have
done.
