PATRIOTS OF PEACE IN SPEAKER'S SUBJECT All Heroes Are Not tho Product of War Says Samuel 1. IVUengill. "Patriotism of Peace" was the subject of an address delivered last night by S. 1. Pettengill at the regular meeting of the Muessel Civic club held at the school. The Ilagey trio, composed of the Misses Laura, Hazel and Mabel Ha gey, rendered a number of vocal selections. Miss Iiura Hagey delivered a reading entitled "The Regand of tho White Swan," and Hazel sang "A Little Pit of Heaven." S. P. necessity Pettengill spoke on the of the American people showing their patriotism in times of peace instead of war. "We have heard and read of the teal success of a nation lying in the gospel force instead of the gospel f Christ. Great men of the past as well as of the present lay stress on tho faxt that a country must have war every so often in order that it may not go to sleep and let the other countries go around it, but the noblest thing we can do is to keep peace and avoid war. "We have many incidents of heroism in war and remember them, but when a man lays down his life for that of another or protects his family from dangers his own, he is the hero, and not the mÄn who goes to the front and through mob courage does some act that is remcmuu" im " rniv :i ii i n n vv 1 1 n i ri r v u ra n t ei:ricnes tneir pocKets u.s tney are ti c owners of the great steel corI orations and powder corporations."

CITY'S CLEAND Members of Health Committee Attend Lecture at High School. Considering the feature of school and home gardens one of the primary factors in the success of South Re nd's annual clean-up xveek, Municipal Recreatlon Director R. F. Friday night invited the committee, composed of members of the Woman's Civic federation and the Chamber of Commerce, to hear a lecture by Garden ni' I' irector Frank K. Wolfe in the di rectors' room. Mr. Wolfe opened his address with a complete survey of the school and home garden efforts of the recreation committee for la5t year and spoke of the successes and failures of the undertaking, statin? that it was hoped the latter would be entirely overcome this year with new methods to meet certain problems. Following his talk on the subjects of school and home gardens, he gave an illustrated talk to demonstrate how the vegetable garden and the flower garden are the primary factors in a clean-up campaign. Midi's Are Shmvn. Slides showing the results attained in other cities, ranging from OreCon to Maine and from Florida to Ijower California, were used. Thce slides were mostly of back yards an unsightly vacant properties before being taken in hand by the garden workers and after. Most of the conditions which were displayed can be found almost anywhere in South Rend and tho same results can be attained here, stated the speaker, by proper interest of citizens and school children. It is for this reason the recreation committee is expending its efforts xvith school children, and through them their parents, not entirely for the education of the child, but also for the health and beauty of the corn munity. Contrasts of hack yards, their fences and the porches of homes improved and unimproved brought home vividly the power of the hoe, spade and small package of seed plus a daily effort towards the proper cultivation of plants, whether they be of the flower, vine or vegetablevariety. A few vords of instruction on how to plant a garden, drape a fence xvith vines and group shrubbery and small flowers about a porch were given by the speaker. He stated that this xvould be more extensively taught the school children and advised the committee to secure some of this kind of information from them, asserting that after this season's course of instruction the children xvould probably know more about" the subject than their parents or many xvho profess to have some knowledge of the xvork of beautiilcation by means of plants and floxvers. Plan Stock Oomixmies. The speaker also told the committee something of the work and plans outlined for the school and home gardens department of the city for this season. An entirely nexv feature will be the organization of individual school stock companies to be conducted by the members and to be supervised by the garden director. Fach company xvill have full charge of the gardens at its school and each member xvill be charged with one share of stock at i0 cents par. For his share of stock he will be entitled to a garden in the school plot and a sufficient amount of seed to plant it besides receiving the instruction of the directors. Another feature which will be moro guarded this year xvill be the keeping of di ta on the value of each child's produce so that at the end of the season the scorers xvill find no ditllculty in selecting the prize winners for the year. Other features of home and school gardening xvere gone into by Mr. Wolfe in an endeavor to convince the committee of the x-alue of this work to South Rend aside from an educational standpoint. WILL PLAT GROUND New Addition to !e Oicned Up Near Notre Ianie. As soou as the xveather permit?, xvork will he started on the plattinff of 13 acres of the W. H. Rulla estate, east of Notre Dame university. The property was recently purchased by George Hastings at an approximate cost of $130 an acre.

C, acting president of the university, delivered an address in Gary yesterday and xvill deliver a sermon In Chicago next Sunday before returning to the university.

Amoncr the Washington official to accompany tho body of Sen. Shively to South Bend is Richard Bright, a former Indlanlan, and former sergeant at arms of the United States senate, for more than a quarter of a century. Mr. Bright xxas a sort of political godfather to Ben. Shively, and a lifelong friend and advisor. He was exactly 8 3 years old tho day that tho senator died. Naturally a man of such long association with the United States senate Is full of anecdotes and experiences connected with the great statesmen that have served in that body. He has perhaps had a larger first name speaking acquaintance xvith the great men of the nation than any other man living today. For instance, as his tall angular form, capped by a mass of gray white hair, moves about the lobby of the Oliver hotel, he supports his step by a sycamore cane that xva bequeathed to him by Daniel Wo'.sey Voorhecs, United States senator from Indiana from 1871 to 1837. Sen. Voorhees name is inscribed on a presentation plate that still decorates tho stick. "I have come all the way from "Washington to South Bend to attend Sen. Shively's funeral," said Mr. Bright last night, "with the pame feeling that I would hax-e come to the funeral of a son. I have always taken a keen interest in the senator and have watched his career with exceptional pride. Mrs. Shively as well, has been very dear to me. I have watched many of the big men of the nation pass to the beyond, but the death of none of them has affected me more deeply." Mr. Bright will return to Washington xxith the congressional party after the funeral today. BAND OF MERCY MEETS Special Irogram Mven Friday Studclxikcr School. at In an effort to increase interest among its members, a special program in charge of the fifth, sixth and sex-enth grades of the Studehaker school xv as givrn Friday afternoon by the Rands of Mercy organization, the junior auxiliary of the Humane society.

KITTY" JS III Dramatic Club Members Do Well in English Society Play. Signal acting and an exceptionally good society drama, inaugurated the senior play, "The Marriage of Kitty," which was presented by the University of Notre Dame Dramatic club in Washington hall Friday afternoon. The play chosen for the occasion called for a cast somewhat smaller than that of tho ordinary productions seen on the university stage, and it was the first senior play to be put on under the direction of Prof. Emmett G. Lenihan of the department of elocution. The play xxas a three net drama as follows: Act 1 A scene in John Travers laxv office in Rondon. where the leading lady i? to become the xvife of the leading man in the play conditionally for one year. Acts two and three are supposed to be after tho year has elapsed, and the scene is Lady Belsize's villa in Geneva, Switzerland. In the second act the young Englishman falls In love with the woman whom he married conditionally for one year and the closing act is where he flees with her. These strange situations have all been planned by John Travers. the Irish solicitor, since he is Kitty's Godfather. The play depicts tho social life in one of the prominent English homes. Prof. Emmett Rcnihan, w ho took one of the most exacting roles in the play, was particularly fitted for the part of Kitty since he has been the leading lady, in uni-

The more spectacular operations of some of the other Allies have partly obscured Italy's part in the present war in the eyes of the American public. Italy's anomalous position in bcine; at war with Austria and at peace with Germany has, besides, produced distrust in some of the allied capitals, and the warmth of feeling evoked by Italy's siding with the Entente has given way to a chilled current of doubt and suspicion. Many are asking the question, "Why has Italy not declared war on Germany?" or "Why has she not joined France and England in their expeditions in the Near East?" In THE LITERARY DIGEST for March 18th there is a very illuminating article consisting of excerpts from the British press and translations from French and Italian papers which bring out in a strong light the very important part that Italy has played and is playing in the war. Other leading articles that will make this number of "The Digest" of great interest are:

Harry E. Scott took the difficult part of John Travers. Irish SDlicltor, and interpreted the role xv.tli great success. John U. Riley, who handled the leading role of Sir Reginald Relsize Bart, probably made the bipgest hit with the large audience since Mr. Riley's tone of voice and acting perfectlj- suited the part. William A. Curly as Madame de Semiano, the second leading lady, scored a real hit. To overlook the maid and butler would be to have out the spice of the production. Richard K. Lightfoot took the part of Rosalie, a French maid, and William F. Fox the role of Norbury, a butler. The costuming was elaborate, and the state setting added the real artistic eiTect, which made the senior p'ay as a whole a proof of the many days of training. The audience that filled overy seat in the university theater voiced its approval of the play by Ion? and hearty applause. The program of music, which was furnished by the fall university orchestra under the direction of Prof. Frank Derrick, was up to the usual high standard.
