PAN-AMERICA MASS LARGELY ATTENDED Father 0’Callaghan Preaches| on Honesty of U. S. Youth Be- fore Brilliant Assemblage. Declaring it doubtful that the pres. ent age is morally worse than that of a hundred years ago, but rather more intellectually honest, Rev. Peter J. O'Callaghan of Delaware Water Gap, preaching the sermon at.the pan- American mass in St. Patrick’s Church this morning, characterized the alarm that has been sounded because of the fnfidel teaching in schools and uni- versitles “an evidence that the conscience of America is still Sound and alert.” He contended that the Present age is still “living upon our Christian heritage and our land still dominated by traditions which have been fundamentally Christian.” Preaching to a brilliant congrega- tion of high officials of many govern- ments, clergymen from the apostolic delegate to the humblest ordained priest and to laymen of all walks of life, who crowded into the flag-be- decked £t. Patrick’s Church to wor- ship at the annual pan-American mass of Thanksgiving day, Father O'Cal- laghan scanned the field of the present day, reviewing its weaknesses, its dan- gers and its hopes. Young Have Faults, The younger generation in America has grievous faults, but it is ready to acknowledge them, Father O'Cal- laghan contended, but the danger lies “in its lack of reverence for the pa and its impatience at the slow proces- sion of serious thinking." Praise for Science. Deploring phases of modern prog- | Tess, Father O'Callaghan said: “Reli- gion, philosopyh and science, which have been the hand-maidens of human Pprogress, have lost caste in our mod- ern world where so many charlatans have presumed to speak in their names. “‘Science is supposed to be the great- est enemy of religion, but it is not acience itself, but the pseudo-scientific writers engaged in_intellectual gym- nasties who threatén the honor which science has justly earned, the speaker declared. Modern science, he said, always will merit the commendation and gratitude of humanity, so long as it remains sclentific. Referring to_the recent debate be- tween George Bernard Shaw and ( bert Chesterton, in which the former was quoted as saying, “Mr. Chesterton &nd I are two mad men: instead of doing honest and respectable work and behaving as ordinary citizens, we go about the world possessed of a strange Eift of tongues, uttering all sorts of ex- traordinary opinions for mno reason ‘whatever,” Father O'Callaghan de- clared that Mr. Shaw, in speaking Jocosel had classified properly not only himself but many of his cotem- poraries, The tragedy of the moment, when the human race needs the word of God as an answer to its riddles, Father O'Callaghan said, is that there are so few champions of reli- glon equipped with the fullness of the Gospel and competent to speak the language of this day and generation, Solemnity and the military aspect ‘was lent to the mass by the presence of a uniformed guard of honor of the cadets of St. John's College. At the elevation of the Host a blast from the bugle of a cadet signaled the con- gregation to bow its heads. Music for the mass was supplied 'by a mixed choir in company with a string or- chestra and the organ. Throughout the celebration of the pontifical mass, the highest ranking clergymen in the diocese served within the sanctuary. Presiding from their respective thrones on the sides of the high altar, were Fumasoni Biondi, the most reverend apostolic delegate, and Archbishop Michael J. Curley of the Baltimore diocese. Attending these two church dignitaries were Rev. W. A. Hoolen of St. Edward's Church, Baltimore, as assistant priest, and Very Rey. Francis McBride, C. 8. C., of the Holy Cross Seminary, Brookland, and Rev. Cornelius J. Dacey, pastor of St. Paul's Church, this city, deacons of honor for the apostolic delegate, and Very Rev. Ignatius Smith, O. P., Immaculate Conception College, Brookland, assistant priest, and Very Rev. Francis Lyons, C. 8. P, of the Paulist College, Brookland, and Rev. Michael J. Riordan, pastor of St. Mar- tin's Church, Washington, deacons of honor for the archbishop. Bishop Celebrant. Right Rev. Thomas J. Toolen, Bish- op of Mobile, was celebrant of the mass, while Rev. John M. McNamara, pastor of St. Gabriel's Church, was as. sistant priest. The deacon of the mass was Rev. J. M. Nelligan, assist- ant pastor of St. Gabriel's, and the sub-deacon was Rev. Lawrence Kil- kenny of St. Paul's, both of Washing- ton. Rev. Francis J. Hurney of St. Patrick's was general master of cere.

His successor as a member will come from the same region, but the probability exists that the new chairman will come from the present membership. Sometimes called “the father of ra- dio” in the United States, Admiral Bul- lard had been identified closely with the new art for more than a quarter of a century and had taken part in practically every step in radio develop- ment since the late 90s. To him was due part of the rapld conquest which has made the United States the leading natfon in radio de- velopment, and from suggestions made by him and by another naval officer, the United States was enabled to procure prior rights to the use of the Alexanderson alternator, an in- valuable device for sending radio com- munications acress the sea and to ships at sea. From his suggestion that a company be formed to retain the Alexanderson patent in American hands came the formation of the Radio Corporation of America, and at the request of officers of the company President Wilson detached him from his naval duties to sit on the board of governors of the corporation. Attaining the rank of rear admiral in 1919, Bullard was long an out- standing figure in the field of naval communications development. He organized the department of electrical engineering at the Naval Academy during his service there from 1907 to 1911, and was superintendent of the nsal‘%“ radio service from 1912 to Commanded Battleship. He commanded the battleship Ar- kansas during much of the World War, serving with the Atlantic Fleet and in the American division of the PRESIDENT OPENS THANKSGIVING DAY AT CHURCH RITES (Continued from First Page.) and refreshments and all kinds of favors will be on the program for the patients.

Boardman, director volun- teer service of the Red Cross, assist- ed by the members of the staff and the “gray ladies." At Mount Alto Hosp! sick and disabled veterans will be treated to an old-fashioned turkey dinner, while an entertainment under the auspices of the Veterans of Foreign Wars will be given dur- ing the day. Forecaster Mitchell at the Weather Bureau said today, after scanning the morning reports of the country's weather, that Washington is on the southern edge of a rain disturbance that has its center at Detroit. The city, he said, will have little if any rain this afternoon and the temperature will not change materially tonight. It is raining in New York City and north and west of Washington. The dis- turbance is moving northeastwards over the lake region. Cleveland ex- perienced an inch of rain last night, Mr. Mitchell said. Generally, the weather for Thanksglving is unsea- sonably warm, except in New England. Sports Occupy Place. Sports occupy a place on the city's Thanksgiving program. George Wash- ington University and Catholic Uni- versity will clash this afternoon at Catholic University Stadium. Five intercity soccer games, with teams trom Baltimore participating, will be held, four on the Monument grounds and one at Walter Reed Hospital, this afternoon. At American League Park, the Wintons and Northerns will con- test in a sandlot game. Two or three golf , club tournaments have been planned. ~Government officials and Array and Navy officers are looking forward to attending the Army-Navy foot ball game in New York Saturday, and many Thanksgiving conversations turned on this topic. Tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock, at the Washington Hebrew Congregation Temple. Eighth street, between H and I streets, Rabbi William Franklin Rosenblum will preach a sermon on “Youth Makes Good.” This is a Thanksgiving service, sponsored by the girls of the Junior Council, as a part of a Nation-wide movement. Tonight at the Willard Hotel .the District of Columbia Auxiliary of the Navy Relief Society is planning to hold a benefit ball. Prominent Navy and Marine Corps officers will partici- pate with their wives in this event. Premier William Lyon Mackenzie King spent Thanksgiving day quietly at the Canadian legation. He had luncheon with an old®friend, Senator Gerry of Rhode Island. Tea will be servéd this afternoon at the legation, and tonight Sir Esme and Lady How ard will be hosts at dinner for the premier at the British embassy. The premier is planning to leave Washing- ton tonight. - S the 150 British Grand Fleet. At the close of the war he was appointed a member of the interallied commission to draft the maval terms of the armi- stice with Austria-Hungary and it was he who received the surrender of that nation’s fleet. In 1913, Ad- miral Bullard was a delegate to the International Safety at Sea Confer- ence at London. "He recelved the Navy's Distinguished Service Medal and was a commander of the French Legion of Honor. Poland honored him with the decoration of the Knights of Polonia Restituta. Admiral Bullard was _appointed March 1 last by President Coolidge chairman of the Radio Commission for a six-year term, His post was look- ed upon as one of the highest adminis- trative positions in radio. He was born in Media, Pa., Decem- ber 5, 1866, and would have been 61 vears of age next month.

To known to be pure is ol b cess METHODISTS HEAR BISHOP MDOWELL Twelve Congregations Unite for Annual Thanksgiving Service. Gratitude for a chance to help and disposition to assist when is needed was emphasized basis for Thanksgiving by lliam Fraser McDowell in is sermon at the tenth annual na- tional Thanksglving service at the Metropolitan ~ Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, John Marshall place and C street, this morning. Twelve churches united in the service. “We need all the time.keep before us the real grounds for Thanks- giving,” the bishop said. “Our best emotions and feelings can only be kept alive and potent within us when they are on a true basis. Commonly we think that thanks are only for benefits received. Thanks for Prosperity. “If we have had prosperity we may be thankful. If we have escaped disaster we may give thanks. If God has seemed to be good to us we may be grateful to Him. “This is our common attitude as persons and it is the way we think as a Nation. If we have had good crops, good trade. active business, we regard it as a good basis for which to be grateful to God. “If we have had hard times we ohserve Thanksgiving day with only a modified spirit of praise, for all this gratitude, for benefits received is sound and wholesome. It would be bad for the souls of men and nations if they took all this for granted and accepted it as their natural right. Taking what we want as our right and accepting benefits as our due does not show or develop a very beau- tiful spirit in us. We still need to say please and return thanks, to pray and give thanks. “But there is another basis for thanksgiving that we too often over- look altogether. It is gratitude for a chance to help, for ability to serve and above all for a disposition and mind to assist when assistance is needed. “I have carefully studied the habit of Jesus in this matter. He never seemed to want things for Himself or to determine His gratitude by what He received. “Always He was grateful for what He could give, for the help He could bestow. If things went well with Him He was thankful, of course, but if He could make them go well with others His gratitude overflowed. Removes All Selfishness. “And I think that is the only real and sound basis for thanksgiving for men or natlons. That takes all the selfishness out of gratitude and puts it in a shining relation to life. Have You, then, received much this year? Thank God for it. Have you done much? 1f so, lift up your hearts in praise that God has given you a great op&ortunltfiv." 1,000 ore than 1, worshippers at- tended the service, Pos(mus?:r Gen- eral New, Senators Frazler and Wes- ley L. Jones and Representative Hoch being among the congregation, Spe- cial floral decorations were used in the pulpit, which was shared with Bishop McDowell by Bishop F. M. Bristol, Rev.

Gordon read President Cool- idge's Thanksgiving proclamation; Dr. Pierpont gave the responsive reading, and J. Benton Webb sang the offer. tory solo. 12 Churches Unite.

NOVEMBER THANKSGIVING DUE TO DESIRE THANKSGIVING DAY INAUGURATED HERE President’s Church Witness- ed First Celebration of Na- tional Holiday After War. It was in the First Congregational Church, Tenth and G streets north- west, President Coolidge’s Washington place of worship, that the first annual National Thanksgiving day was ob- served and set apart for an annual day of Christian thanksgiving at the close of the Clvil War. During the Civil War certain_days were. once or twice set apart by Presi- dent Lincoln on which the people of the country were asked to repair to their respective places of worship and give thanks to God, but the National Thanksgiving day was established in the administration of President John- son, October 3, 1865. George Washington fssued the first proclamation, but the day never was observed annually as a national Thanksglving day until 1863. A committee from the First Congre- gational Church, then in its infancy, appeared before President Johnson on October 2, 1865, and asked him to ap- point a day for yearly thanksgiving. The request was granted and the cele- bration of the day on the last Thurs- day of November has now grown into the custom of the Nation. Most of the members of the com- mittee which _petitioned _President Johnson were New Englanders, and they were prompted to ask for a na- tional thanksgiving because they had been in the habit of setting apart a regular day each year to give thanks to God, and because they wished to see President Lincoln's ideas put into effect. The first regular pastor of the ¢hurch was Rev. C. B. Boynton, the father of the late Henry V. Boynton. The elder Boynton was made the chaplain of the House of Representa- tives soon after he was made pastor of the local church, and in his first Winter of service Congress granted him permission to hold religious serv- ices on the floor of the House every Sunday. This is the first and the last church which has ever conducted its regular worship in the Capitol of the United States. GRUENING DENIES CALLES MISSION Writer Refutes Hearst State- ment on Propaganda in British Strike. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 24.—Dr. Ernest H. Gruening, an American writer on social subjects, in a tele- gram to the Assoclated Press from Portland, Me., denied statements pub- lished in Hearst newspapers yesterday that he was authorized last year by President Calles of Mexico to study the situation in England in regard to the coal strike of 1926 and that Calles or- dered a pay warrant for $10,000 drawn in Gruening's favor. Dr. Gruening's telegram said: “So-called expose relating to Mexi- co, which has been appearing in the Hearst newspapers, in the course of which, in the issue of November 23, 1 am portrayed as being authorized by President Calles to study the sit- uation in regard to the British miners’ coal strike in 1926, preliminary to President Calles’ sending, as the Hearst papers allege, $100,000 to the striking coal miners, for which mis- sion, the Hearst expose further al- leges, 1 recelved $10,000 from Presi- dent Calles, is an absolute and out- rageous lie.” Terming the photostat of the docu- ment which purported to be a warrant ordering the Mexican treasurer gen- eral to pay him $10,000 “obviously a forgery,” Dr. Gruening said he never discussed the British coal strike with President Calles, that he never was authorized by Calles to go on *this or any other mission,” that he never re- ceived a cent of money “directly or indirectly” from Calles, that he was not in England in 1926, and that he was not in Mexico on the date that the al- leged order was issued. Dr. Gruening’s message said that he was “taking the necessary legal steps to secure redress.” When Dr. Gruening's message was called to the attention of officials of the New York American they said that at no point in the article was it stated that Dr. Gruening had received the money or had been in England. o Switzerland has revived its cheese industry, and Swiss cheese is now caten in 40 countries.

The day America celebrates today had its origin in the dim past and a desire to return thanks for bounti- ful harvests, although the festival has been intensified by the Pilgrim fathers, who first kept it on this con- tinent in 1621 and extended by va- rious Presidents of the United States since through their proclamations, as well as by direction of Congress dur- ing the Revolution. Curiously enough this day, which has come to be re- garded as part and parcel of Ameri- can life, is not specifically named in the law as a holiday and depends upon the President’s proclamation to give it legal status in the District of Co- lumbia. Willlam Tyler Page, clerk of the House of Representatives, pointed out today that when Congress establishes a holiday in the District of Columbia, this lead is usually followed by the States and spreads over the Nation. Strictly speaking, sald Mr. Page, there is no universal American natio) al holiday except by custom. Gov- ernors in the several States follow the lead of the President and issue proclamations giving life to Thanks- giving day. Designated Holidays. The law relating to the District of Columbia has designated as holiidays New Year day, Washington's birth- day, Memorial day, Independence day, Labor day and Christmas. Thanks- giving day is celebrated under war- ranty of that portion of the law which names as holidays in addition “such days as may be designated by the President.” The signing of the treaty of Paris in 1783, terminating the Revolutionary War, was the signal for Congress to set aside a day in 1784 to give thanks for the return of peace. Shortly after his inauguration as the first President of the United States, President George Washington issued this proclamation on October 3, 1789: First Proclamation. “Whereas it is the duty of all na- tions to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful -for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor: and “Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their’ joint committee, re- quested me ‘to recommend to the peo- ple of the United States a day of pub- lic thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grate- ful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by af- fording them an opportunity peacably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:” “Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is or that will be; that we may then all unite in tendering to Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His provi BOOKS WANTED All Rinds—Any Quantity BRING T E“M IN Or Phone Franklin 5415-5416 BIG BOOK SHOP—933 G HATS ...
