CATHOLICS TO MEET
Matters Relating to Educational Fa-
cilities To Be Discussed

Notices were given in the Catholic
churches yesterday that there would be
an open meeting in the Knights of Co
lunibus hall on Third avenue tonight.
Father coyle in giving the notice did not
say what the object of the meeting
way further than that large enterprise
in which all the Catholics of Greater Bir-
1nngham should be interested was to be
presented and discussed. 1t is believed
that plans for erecting a central Catholic
high school and other buildings are to be
the topics of the meeting.
Grand Knight Frank MCGOWAN of Bir-
mngham council No. 635, in his circular
letter calling attention to the Knight S
meeting, said it would be open to every
Catholic gentleman in the district. The
meeting will be held in the large assembly

Power of Radium will Shoot Mans

Paris, Aug. 23.-Ernest Archdea-
con, the most prominent patron of
aviation in France, declares some
thing will soon be discovered infin-
itely better than areoplanes which
are not likely ever to exceed 125
miles per hour.
ArChdeacon states that with twen-
ty-seven kilogrammes of radium a
projectile weighing a ton could be
sent to the moon in fOrty-nine hours,
provided all the radium's energy
could be released within that time
With 400 kilogrammes of radium
aboard, visit could be made to
Venus and back to earth again. He
is convinced that the inhabitants OF
all the planets will make each
others acquaintance within a few
centuries and that interplanetary

to information received in this city

From information which is being
brought to Washington it is believ-
ed that the progressive element in
the democratic party in Florida will
unite on Senator F. NJ. Hudson, OF
Miami, as the candidate to oppose
Senator Duncan L. Fletcher, in the
senatorial primaries next year. The
entrance in the race of Mr.. Hudson,
who has yielded to the solicitations
a formal announcement OF his can
didacy, will eliminate Representa-
tive Claude L'Engle OF Jacksonville
as candidate against Senator Flet-
cher.
L'Engle had given up the idea Of
making the fight. Should he recover
full yigor in time he will get behind
the candidacy of Senator Hudson.
Mr.. Hudson is a member of the
upper branch of the state legislature,
and for a time was president of it.
He has been identified with progress

said to be a lawyer of exceptional
ability.

BAD JOKE ON KAISER BILL
Results of Balkan War Prove His
Elaborate Army System
Was Rotten

London, Eng, Aug. 23.-Reply-
ing to a question whether Germany's S
recent army increase meant an at
tack on France, August BebeI, the
late German socialist leader, just be-
fore his death at Zurich on Aug. 81
last, wrote the following Letter. which
was published yesterday in the Pail
Mall Gazette:
The German Emperor has seen dur
ing the Balkan war that our army
has completely gone to pieces-that
is, that our officers are incapable of
commanding, and the material is ab-
solutely impossible. If the French
had wished to attack us. they would
probably been successful, for we
were not strong enough at the from
tier. If the French had guessed
that they were strong enough they
could have begun the attack.
The German Emperor says that
French arms were of greater impor-
tance in the Balkan war than the
the German element that helped the
Turks was to blame for the misfor-
tunes of the Turks. 1t is an open
secret that Germany was to blame
! for their defeat"
! These facts, Herr Babel assured
+ his correspondent, had been obtaine j
| from the best sources.

Did you ever write to a mail or

"a little cramped, and would like TO
buy a few goods on credit? says
Lon Robinson. Did You ever write
to the mail order house and ask
them to contribute to the mainten-
ance of your church? Did you ever
write to the mail order house and
ask them to send along dollar to
assist a neighbor who was sick and
IN a destitute condition? Did you
ever ask a mail order house to at
tend the dinner given by the ladies
Of the missionary society to raise
a little money to paint the parson-
age! Where is there a mail order
house that contributes annually TO
the upkeep Of the local ball team!
During conditions like the above
hasn't the local merchant played an
important part? Looking at itofrom
another standpoint. What would
you think of the local merchant II
he asked you to pay cash to him Tor
goods you had never seen, and pay
