Its headquarters 1 the United States are in the city of New York.
 With the coDtributions furnished the army has already purchased the Turk sh novels that surrounded the ancient oaSilica of St. Joseph, the first church ever dedicated to the foster father of Jesus, said to have been erected on the site of his workshop, and at Nazareth house for Catholic pilgrims is being rected with these funds. But the rand idea of the army is to raise sufli- .ent money to purchase all the shrines, including the holy sepulcher, which is Bow, as it has been since the year 1908, 'lder the joint control of the orthodox lreek priests and the Franciscan athcrs, who have charge of it on be- aalt of the Roman church.

 Ie cross was planted and the spot D,e Daere His lifeless body was placed in
