He often expressed sentiments such a8 these: $*The average American is a lover of peace. He stands for and desires Peace at home and abroad. Let us hope that international disputes soon will be decided, not by standing armies, but by permanent courts of Jrbitration.” “Immediately following his ordina- tion he was appointed assistant to Rev.

Macchi di Cellere, Ttalian ambassador to the United States, con- ferred the decoration of his govern- ment on Cardinal Gibbons.

He arose every morning about 6:30 o'clock and cele- brated low mass at 7; then he went to breakfast, and immediately aft- erward read the newspapers and at- tended to correspondence. Usually at 10 o'clock in the morning the car- dinal was ready to see visitors. Audiences were stopped about noon and the inal would go out for his walk before dinner, dropping in to talk with business men or stop- ping sometimes at book stores.

He also has been recommend- ed by the board of steam navigation of New York and by the New York {Maritime Association. Although no positive assurance has been given by the White House, it is believed by those who are in a posi- tion to know that the President has practically completed the list of ap- Pointees to the board, with the pos- sible selection of a chairman. When {the President has succeeded in ob- taining the services of the right man to head this body., he has intimated that he will make public the com- plote list as recess appointments.

In De- cember of that year he enlisted in the Army as a field clerk and went to France, returning to the United States in September, 1920.

Johnson, 2615 Nichols avenue southeast. has ‘written a letter to Chief Justice McCoy netifying him of a resolution adopted by the South Carolina Palmetto Club of Washing- ton indorsing the decision of the chief justice in the recent cases of Brooks and Waller agafnst the Wash- ington, Baltimore and Aanapolis Rail- way Company, in which,. the two col- ored men were awardéd damages of $500 each against the ¢ompany. “Under your decision.” the letter states, “it will be means of a p ger coming under full justice of the law and right, white or black.” The court held that the colored men, having tickets for Washington, were interstate passengers and the Mary- land “jim-crow” law did not apply to them gttt e R0 TR eaten he would lie down to rest until about 3:30 p.m. Then he would see visitors again. and as the sunset ap- proached would take another walk. In the evening the cardinal would attend any of the church services that might be in progress, or read in his room. He was fond of the classics; was a good Latin scholar, and spoke and read French without difficulty. The cardinal would go to bed every night about 10 o'clock. From the beginning of his distinc- tion in the Catholic Church Cardinal Gibbons was noted for his public spirit and patriotism. View on Public Questions Sought. On public questions the views of the cardinal were always among the first Sought. Some years ago the idea that foreign governments, through the in- fluence of money, would be able eventually to undermine the American system of government was creating something of a stir. The foreign press, especially in Germany, inti- mated that present conditions could not possibly last more than half a dozen decades longer. An important newspaper wrote to Cardinal Gibbons for his opinion, taking him as a man utterly unbiased and likely to be able to judge calmly of the conditions. The questions put to him were three in number: (1) Whether our republic will last one hundred years longer. (2) What is the greatest peril that confronts us? (3) Whether we are in danger of ever being bought up by foreign syndicates and through such influences our form of government be changed. “To your first question,” wrote the cardinal, “I will reply that T not only fervently trust that our government will last a hundred years longer, but firmly believe that it will. What is our greatest peril? I answer, a departure from those Christian principles upon which our very laws and institutions are based. As long as these Christian principles are maintained our finsti- tutiona will, under God, survive and flourish. Our laws, which are only ex- pressions of eternal law, will com- mand our respect, and, therefore, our loyal obedience. On the other hand, every departure from these Christia; principles upon which our soc fabric rests tends to the loosening of the foundatjon stones of the republic. “One of the most admirable features of our system of government is the happy balance of federal power with state autonomy, and so long as this golden mean is observed we shall pos- sess strength and liberty and inde- structibility as a great nation. In my judgment, we need have no fear of foreign capitalists and foreign syn- dicates. Those who invest in public lands and our business enterprises will naturally be brought to closer acquaintance with our republican form of government, and there is lit- tle doubt that our institutions and our laws will gain upon them on closer acquaintance” The influx of foreign capital. he added, he thought a posi- tive bénefit rather than a peril to large areas of our undeveloped. conti- nent. > Hijs services to the Catholic Church in America have been likened to those | “Freezone” for a few cents, sufficient of Cardinal Manning, and, like that of the latter, his influence was compared to a.light that had warmed while it illumined. r Unity Lenten ervices St. John's Church (Lafayette Square), Friday, March 25 11 A M.
