Mulligan of Thompson- i ville, chairman of the Knights of Co lumbus committee on war activitie: | who recently returned from u trip of ;several months abroad, was tendered j& reception by his fellow townsmen | }last Sunday evening. The reception jvas held in St. Michael's church, -in Thompsonville, and was attended by about 1200, including members of the ! Knights of Columbus from all parts of New England. In commenting up- on_dihe affair the Thompsonville Press said: “Rev. William F. O'Brien, an assist- ant pastor of St. Patrick’s parish, was | master .of ceremonies, and Rev. Wil- liam A. Keefe of Norwich, state lec- turer and a personal friend of Chair- man Mulligan, delivered an eloguent | address. Father Keefe said he con- sidered it a signal privilege to be ask- ed to voice the sentimest not only of the Knights of Columbus, but of ev- ery fair-minded citizen of every creed and ancestry throughout the world, in applauding the patriotic spirit and the most efficient manner in which the honored guest had so ably performed { bis work. In the days to come Amer- ican people are going to show loyal- ty, fidelity and gratitude to the organ- ization that adopted and lived up to that memorable slogan, “Everybody welcome ~ °d everything free.” In the carrying out of the war work the re- ;ma.:;kable ubr;de;laking, he said, was made possible the 2 i of Mr. )lumgamy Sl et Father Keefe said that “Hats off to i the K. of C.” is the watchword of ser- vice men everywhere, and that these same heroes questioned as to their opinion of Mr. Muliigan, answer in a i mighty chorus, “America is proud of jthe work of William J.

Although more than 2,000,000 tons of foodstuffs, at a cost of nearly $500,- 000, have been delivered in' European relief sincé the signing of the armis- tice, by far the greatest ' share of which, he said, had been furnished by ihe United States under the direction of Herbert Hoover, conditions are still o Geplorable as almost to “beg- gar, description.” A distinguished British army officer who had been in Vienna, for some time, implored him before he left the Austrian capital: “For God’s sake go home and tell them what it is e!” Sir Willlam told his experiences to the American Luncheon Club here. “I felt upon leaving Vienna,” said he “as if I had spent ten days in the cell of a condemned murderer who has given up all hope of a reprieve. I stayed at the best hotel but I saw no milk and no eggs the whole time I was there. In the bitter cold hall of the hotel, once the gayest rendezvous in Europe, the visitors huddled to- gether in the gldom of one light where there used to be forty. They were more like shadows than representa- tives of the rich. Vienna's world fa- mous opera house is packed overy af- terncon. Why? Women and men go there in order to keep themselves warm and because they have no work to do. “In’ my office I madé several exper- | iments at workine in overcoat and with blankets for the staff when thermometer :nside was only one rl('-l gree above freczing' point.

It cost me 970.crowns, which, to the Viennese, is equivalent to about 30 pounds or 40 pounds. “Do you wonder that the well-to- 16799 DIED in New York City alone from kide | ney trouble last year.

Can you imagine how the poor live or try to live? It is not unusual to see the traffic in one of‘the main streets which leads to the cemetery held up by hearses. Nine-tenths carry the bodies of children. N “In Vienna, in'the palace of a for- mer -archduke, I saw thousands of children being fed with American Re- lief food under the control of a young naval officer, whom I was proud to recognize as one of those Americans who did excellent work ih the early days of the Commission for Relief in Belgium. Our own British Re- lief Missions, both in Austria and in Hungary, and a number of unofficial British workers are doing everything possible to stem the tide of distress.” In Serbia alone, Sir William declared, {here are 500.000 fatherless children, most of who™ ara suffering’ from hunger and exposure. “It seems 10 w.e that rou cannot trifle with starvation and privation in Central Evrope such as prevails today in Vienna without running the risk of a carnival of Bolshevism which would probably not he confined to this con- Linent. 1o not want to ery ‘woll’ an¢ am rather inclined to think that Bolshevism has been” used too much as a bogy, but apparently legitimat grievances, forces of unrest are loosed the heart of Europe, fhe whole world _ the ited -States as well as oursclves, will be menaced,” Sir William declared that “first and foremost among the cau: of the present situation in Cen Europe is the delay in making peace. “It_scarcely, seems to be realized in e United Kingdom,” he continued, “isolated -from the continent of Eu- rope 1y rip of water and still le ted States, isolated by the Atlantic ocean, that Austria, Hungary, Fulgaria and Turkey are still technically at war with the Al- lies and, what is more important, at war With mest of their neighbers. “As_one approaches the frontiers one finds every little wayside station packed with soldiers, bayonets fixed and railway sidings congested with ammunition wagons.
