FINEST CATHEDRAL YET
TO GO UP AT WASHINGTON

Baltimore, Dec 10.-Romas Catholics OF
the United States are planning to erect
a Washington the largest and most mag
nificent cathedral I'm the world. Promi
nent priests and laymen are at work on
the project, which will distribute the cost
OF this great structure among 140O0.00O
Catholic laymen in the country. This
may require two years.
Baltimore is the head Of the church
See but IL the words OF Cardinal Glib

cerning the projected cathedral were put
