The Knights of Columbus.
(Bv the Associated Press.)


New Haven, Conn, June 2.-Nearly one
hundred delegates representing the va
rious State Councils of the knights OF
Columbus met here tooay for the 21st an
nual convention Of the national council OF
the order Among the important matters
to be brought to the attention Of the del
egates is the appointment of commission
to purchase site and erect building
which shall be the national headquarters
0 fthe knights of Columbus. 1t is prob
able that this city will be chosen for the
building.
Edward L. Hearn, Supreme Knight,
said in his annual address that the order
had during the last year extended its Op-
erations into North Carolina and other
States. He reported that the work of
establishing fund Of $50 900 for the main
tenance of a chair of secular history in the
Catholic University at Washington is
nearing fulfllment Under the head of
charity" the Supreme Knight spoke of
the Catholic missions for Indians in the
Southwest, being most deserving and con-
tinued.
Let us stop and consider the condition
of our co-religionists in Cuba Porto Rico,
Mexico, and in the distant Philippines.
There is need for a strong, active and per
manent Catholic organization, especially
in the Philippines, where a crisis in Cath
Ollie affairs is approaching which must be
met and averted. The schism of the in
dependent Catholic Filipino church is a
fact and is growing in strength and mum
bers in defiance of rightful authority The
united influence of American Catholics
must be brought to bear against this dan
gerous movement and the knights Of Co
lumbus ought to take prominent part in
the work"
