Our attempt to "capture Villa, dead or alive," has already caused tho death of sixty officers and privates, the retirement of liundreds of others for disability, and cost the nation approximately $100,000, 000, and the assertion is frequently made that the United States has barely made a start on its Mexican campaign. QUESTION OP POLICY. Rev. Edward A. Flannery, as sociate editor of the Southern Guardian, of Little Rock, Ark., dis cusses tho report of Col. 1 H. Callahan's Religious Prejudice Com mission as follows: "It is not because wo do not agree with raany of tho suggestions of (his report that we permit our selves tho privilege of questioning certain recommendations of Col. Callahan, the Chairman of the Re ligious Prejudice Commission of tho ICnights of Columbus. We have much sympathy with tho complaint of tho Chairman that his work has not met with the universal endorse ment of churchmen. In fact many of tho editors of Catholic papers have been tempted to criticize rather sharply some of tho Ideas put forth by the Chairman of this commission. His claim that bigotry Is waning does not seem to be borne out by contemporaneous history" and his contention that the conciliatory method reports more consoling suc cess than tho ancient contentious policy may bo open to debate. The weakness of tho whole viewpoint kof Col. Callahan, ns It appears to lis, is his delusion that he knows more about the religious situation In the United States than tho cleric& who have mado a close study of the matter years before the name of tho gentleman from Kentucky was mentioned in Catholic circles. A layman must remember that he approaches all questions involving religious controversy without suffi cient training to understand the various angles of the subjects brought Into debate. Some sincere pursuers of relilgous amity may forget that we can buy unity too dearly, at tho cost of fundamental truth. It Is all very well to bomt outward peace, with our neighbors, but It Is infinitely more important to preserve the faith in all essential elements. Conciliation may be wel come under certain conditions, but not at tho compromise of Catholic truth. No layman has been com missioned by the Saviour to pre tend to infallibility In dealing with religious problems, and tho more outspoken such a one becomes in his insistence that only his views are right the more he lays himself bpen to the suspicion that ho i3 wrong."

The Governors ,of the Federal Reserve Banks have warned in vestors of the risk of purchasing unsecured notes of Allied govern ments. This was of course to be expected. Governments have a way of dodging payments of their obligations, which unwary investdrs will find to their cost'. We do not say that the obligations will be lepudiated. Not at all. But the short-term notes can by a, little manipulation, due to necessity, be converted Into long-term notes, and then when they become a drug in the imarket and prices go tumbling down, as will Inevitably be the case, Government steps In and offers to "redeem" them at their face value by other notes or bdnds bearing a low rate of interest, and the un fortunate investor will be obliged to accept tho government's offer or boW at a big loss. Tho pro nouncement of the Governors of the. Federal Reserve Banks is timely and should be heeded by in vestors for their own good. Miss Marcella O'Connor has re turned from a most delightful Thanksgiving vacation, spent at the stock farm of Mr. B. J. Metcalfe, near Lagrange.
