The Third, Fourth and Fifth districts had made no report when the registration board completed their duties for the night and adjourned at 10 o'clock after fif- ten hours of hard work.

The Pruesian autocracy by its ruthless and deflant violation o! the rights cof our citizens upon the high seas left no eourse open to us as a @elf- rvmcuqs nation but war. . Be- ing In, we find ourselves necessarily in league with England, Franes, Italy and Russia to strike down the military autoeracies of the world whose con- tinuance in power will be a constant threat to the future peace of the ‘world. ‘We are thus engaged in a gigantic struggle to make the world safe for democracy as President Wilson says, ‘and to secure a just and permanent peace. For no higher cause did a nation or a league of nations ever wage a war. ‘We hope for speedy success through a collapse of the autocracies and the coming into their own of the German, Austrian and Hungarian oples; but the war may continue. We musi win it. We must prepare therefore, for a long hard struggle. We must lay im- mediate foundations for an army of & ‘million men over and above. the projected 750,000 of the regular army and the National Guard. The war must be fought by our young men. They must constitute a very large part of our armies. To them our great cause must appeal. In their hearts must love of country prompt to great deeds of courage and sacrifice.

No one knows where his dust lie buried: but his spirit speaks from his unknoN1 grave and call every man to the service of the flag. ‘What manner of man was he? . He was of medium height, well built and of fair coloring.

On both sides the in- heritance was of the best old New England stock. Hale's last words have become Every schoelboys knows them. He left another message littie known, but timely for us. His intimate friend and companion in arms, Capt. William Hull, urged him by every possible ar- gument not to hazard his life by going into the lines of the enemy. Hale list- ened quietly. When his friend had fin- ished he said: “I am fully sensible of the conse- quences of discovery and capture in such a situation, * * * yet I wish to be useful, and every kind of service nec- essary to the: public good becomes honorable by being necessary. If the exigencies of my country demand a pe- culiar service its claims to perform that service are imperious.” Born of his self-reliance and con- secration to the service of his count those few words, “I wish to be useful should be taken to heart by every young man who is hesitating today to join the colors. Hale did not wait to have this and that question decided for him. He did not ask what Washing- ton’s policy was. He did not consult his family and friends. He decided for himself. He had enlisted in the ser- vice of his country and anything per- taining to that service he felt was in his day's work. THE LIBERTY LOAN.

The following communication has been addressed to the Catholic clergy of the United States through the newspapers by Cardinal Gibbons, archbishop of Baltimore: Reverend and Dear Father: When a nation finds itself facing a condition of war and all its attendant horrors, doubts and fears, it is incum- bent upon us all to take counsel one with another to the end that the best nterests of the state and its citizen- ship may be conserved and through our clergy to help disseminate what- ever knowledge may be necessary in the peculiar conditione confronting us In order that the present aims aw objects of our country shall be fully financed and our national interests safeguarded, the government of the United States has deemed it advisable to issue certain securities which are called liberty loan bonds, and which wiil bear interest at the rate of 3 1-2 per cent. per annum. The security offered is the full credit of the United ; States of America and for the specific reason that some of our people may not understand or perhaps y' not have gone uito the matter as fully as they should, T would lay stress upon j the fact that these bonds are support- ed by the honor, credit, business in- tegrity and actual property of the com- munity at large. These undertakings are the best evidence we can give to the world that we are firm in the faith and unswerving in our devotion to the cause of our country and those who have joined with us. It will prove that we are single-minded and that we know no dividing lines in cases where the generd welfare is to be consid- ered. T wou'd therefore impress upon the clergy of the archdiocese that they do all in_their power to further the work to the end that these bonds may be fully subscribed. The seriousness of the situation ocannot be overesti- mated. Tt is something of personal interest coming home to each one of us. Let it not be said that we were weighed in the balance of patriotism and found wanting. Most faithfully yours in Christ, (Signed) o J. CARDINAL GIBBONS, Archbishop of Baltimore.
