There has been a lot of talk about lhe “new woman.” Whenever these deas have been diffused they were brobably associated with high heels, | ort skirts, and Btyle wag ever the vhat men came to know as the ‘‘new fyoman.” She was something differ- [bnt from the women of old, the moth- prs and wives and sisters and sweet- earts of, the colonial days.

These same women, not r ng the fate that the women of Belgium and Northern France suf- fered at the hands of brutal men in uniforms of the Kaiser's army, tnyed with their own hands the men ho shouid have willingly volunteered to go forth and crush the greatest enemy of civilization, They called these the new women. They were wrong who so labelled them. Such as these are not worthy of the name woman. As an an- swer to the oft asked question, What is the natural stand for the woman- hood of America to assume in this we offer the words of a great member of the so-called gentler sex, who can speak, to her own sisters and to those who mi understand them, these word “We are not new!

We are the daughters of these men.” We need not go back two thousand years to understand real women and their relation to this We need go but to the period of our own Revolutionary war. Even later, we can look to the days of 1861-5 and see there what the real women of tho world did when the men were called forth to battle. Were it not for the women man would not be free today in the countries in which he enjoys liberty. Were it not for the women of '76 there would today be The mothers, and wives, and sisters, and sweethearts of men who fought and bled that this nation might be what it is never heard of “the new wom- Unless she is the frail, sickly, weak thing that allows.a big, strong, healthy man hide beWnd skirt¢ in the avoidance of military duty, the “new woman.” If there is such a thing as the new woman, the quicker she is gotten rid of the bet- For any woman who allows a man to use her as a tool by which he might es- cape national service 1s not worth war. en. to her we too have never heard of wasted in catering to her earthly Were it not that she will reap the harvest of her own folly, in the way of neglect and abuse at the hands of the man she now pro- | tects from the military law, there need be little sympathy for her. In dire contrast to what we might call the new women stand the women described by Olive Schreiner, and they are legion. For every new woman there are thousands who are the offspring of sturdy fathers and sensible mothers. These are the daughters of men,and women, not the daughters of new men or new women. And, as such, they may be looked upon to save the honar of womankind in this war and to drive from the country all thoughts of the woman and her sycophantic Halil to the daughters of men. wants. new class. THE HYPOCRITE. “There is no possibility of our being compromised”, wrote von Bernstorff to his master upon the occasion of plotting against the neutrality of this country. “The embassy must in no circumstances be compromised”, cabled the tricky #mmermann. Yet with the revelations made yesterday by the State Department not only the embassy and von Bernstorff, but the main officer of the American Truth Society and other disloyal Americans have been compromised.

Secret socleties, the Imperial German jovernment's corrupted funds, sought to influence Congress. The American embargo conference was backed by money from the Ger- man exchequer in its attempt to force Congress _to pass a munitions em- bargo act. Von Bernstorff had asked for, and probably received, $50,000 with which to influence members of the House of Representatives. All these revelations merely go to show what a mean, dispicable, crowd von Bernstorff worked with; what a low-down cur he was; what a sorry sight the exposed tools present. Pro- tected by the very government against which he was plotting, von Berngtorft walked the streets of Washington with murder hig- heart. On his many visits to the State Department he assured Lansing of the good faith of the German Government while at the same time plots were levelcd‘ the peace and safety of | American citizens.

PAULIST FATHERS MEETING SUCCESS Large Crowds Attend Mission Services at St. Mary's Impressive services and crowds are the salient features of the mission *his week at St. church, undr the auspices of York, and the women of the parish. Many oth- ers from other sections of the city arc evincing much interest. The priests who are conducting the mis- sion are Rev. David V Kennedy, Rev. Peter J. Moran, Rev. John nin and Rev. lter Orchard. They are very able and convincing preach- | crs whose topics at each sermon are istened to with keen interest by the ongregation. Another feature of the services is the congregational singing. The daily services open at 5 o'clock in the morning with a high mass and instruction. At § o'clock the same ervice is conducted. In the evening the service consists of the rosary, doc: by W. J. Dawson. : Bulletin No, 6. ' sion mass.

The founding of the Paulist Band of Misstonaries dates back to 1858, when four converts to Catholicism from the Protestant fafith organized {the Dband. These men were Rev. Isaac T. Hecker, Rev. August F. Hewlitt, a Congregational minister; Rev. George Deshon, a chaplain in the United States army, and Rev. Francls pastor of Cavalry Fpiscopal | h at Baltimore, Md. At present i the Paulist Fathers have a band of about 100, with houses in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, Can., Porland, Ore., Austin, Texas, and Nashville, Tenn. The Paulist Fathers i were the first misslionaries to hold ser- | vices for non-Catholics, and through | thelr efforts thousands of converts | bave been secured throughout tho i United States and Canada, it is said. The band was the first to use the | apostolate of the press, and in their publishing house in New York, the “Catholic World” is issued monthly. i Temperance is one of the greatest | works of the band, and upon ths r.eed | of sobricty the priests arc vary tmpres- Jslve during their sermons. The Fathers also in their taiks bring out forcibly the need of close adherence to the ceremonles of the Cathoilc church. In the Catholic University in Weshington, D. C. students are edu- ! cated for missionary work among non- Catholics. | _The kindly manner in which the : Paulist Fathers conduct their missions is universally known.throughout the | country. No one who seeks the coun- sel of these priests need fear that they | will be subjected to harsh words or unkind treatment. At all services invi- | tations are extended to all non- Catholles to attend, and at the close the Paulist Fathers would be glad to talk with them or will meet them in private if they so desire. 53:30 until 6 o'clocvk. ning the missioners [RH i I H.
