been handed his passports by Carranza,

government tor fully two weeks, accord
ing to reliable sources today. Garden,

COwdray oil interests in Mexico.
Garden is now on his way to England.

he has been accredited by his govern

Gardens removal was reported here
TO have been peremptory. Carranza it

making any representation to the Brit

drawal. For a long time there has been
ill-feeling between Carranzistas and
Garden. Carranza, it is understood. did
not even consult any American official

IN THE WAR ZONE;
What THEY MEAN

Former European Manager OF United

NEW YORK, Sept. l7.-Nl a. MI
The movement of the allies TO enyelop
General Won klucks hitherto irrepress-
ible right wing, is again developing
strength. A French and British force
is moving eastward along the Somme
River, which apparently is TO serve cs
the northern wall to cut off the German
right.
For this movement to succeed the
German front between La0n and Rheims
must be pierced in order to separate
Won Kluck from the rest OF the Kaiser's
forces The frequent mention Of des-
perate encounters TO secure passages OF
the Aisne, east of scissors, is the key
to this part of the cncircling strategy.
Once the roads on the German side of
the Aisne-the north side-are held by
the allies in this district, Won kluck's
position will become precarious.
If the allies break through here, and
if their movement along the Somme
emorges simultaneously to the north of
the German right, a situation unique
in military annals may occur. Won
Klucl's lines of retreat northward and
eastward will be cut and if his army
cannot cut its way through it win be
compelled. TO take refuge in the French
fortifcations at Ia fere and Laon,
which the allies deserted during their
retreat TO Paris.
These two strong positions form to-
gether a vast ontrenched camp. but the
German desertion of Rheims shows the
kaiseT's strategists have no more faith
in entrenched camps than the French
have. If Won Kluck's right wing were
to be caught in the Ia Fere Laon trap.
| the remarkable situation of a German
army besieged in French fortresses
would result.
To avoid this catastrophe. rein
1 fOrcements have been sent to Won
Kluck and with them he must keep
/ open his northern and eastern roads.
It is probable that Won Kluck will
move his entire army northeast Of the
La Fere-Laon line if the pressure OF
the allies grows. so no fortifcations
will stand in his way should his army
be forced to run.

That the "harmony" dinner to be
given by the Chamber OF Commerce Fri
day, September 25, at the Hotel DUPONT
will be the biggest affair of the kind
ever given in Wilmington is the expec-

today they began to hear from the

fair sent out last night to business and
professional men.
The Chamber of Commerce was con-
graduated for offering such a splendid

much Endorsement.

acceptance was received at the Cham

The program is arranged not only

That it is improbable that the Park

Investigation today developed the
fact that a large number of the Zoo

air rifles. The rodents are fed to the
bears, eagles and other birds and ami

The big Russian bears are especial
lly fond of freshly slain rodents and
eagerly devour them at every oppor-

know several rat hunters and will
beg for fat rat. The eagles also
consider the rodents as relishes and

The fate Of the German operations
in France seemed to rest upon the
final stand Of the several German
armies following the long and gem
eral retreat from Paris. The allies
pushed the Kaiser's troops back over
forty miles in week and threatened
to cut off and surround the crown
princes army, which had tried so val
iantly TO capture Verdun. The map

Germans, Badly Battered, May
Moi Seek Occupation of Poland

Hindenberg and several Of the fore
most strategians on the German gen
eral staff were rushed into action in
the East. Traffic was hurriedly sus-
pended while army corps after army
corps was rushed to the East. And
as a result, when the attempt to
crush the French with the forces
available was attempted the battle of
the Marne followed and the Germans
were decisively defeated and COM
PEELED to retreat from in front of
Paris.
Not only did the Germans withdraw
their own troops, but they permitted
the transfer of the Austrian four
teenth army corps, the crack corps of
the Austrian army which was doing
great work in upper Alsace, and was
responsible for the defeat of the
French at Mulhausen, to be sent into
Galioia, where it has been over
whelmed in the general misfortune
that met the Austrian arms.
The War Office has received infor-
nation that the Austrians are con-
centrating at Cracow and that they
will have the assistance there of Ger
man forces that could not be sent for
ward into Eastern Galicia. Il is stat
ed, however. that no opportunity is to
be given the Austrians who have been
so badly defeated TO retire in order

eral attack on the flanks of the re-

PETROGRAD. Sept. 17-That the
Germans viii not attempt any in
vasion of Russia in force, although
they probably will seek the occupa-
tion of parts of Russian Poland to
protect their own frontier, is the
opinion of military officials here.
Official advices received today from
the front indicate that the Germans
are Withdrawing part OF their first
line troops which were rushed into
East Prussia a fortnight ago and
starting them back west presumably
TO aid in reinforcing the lines in
France. Half dozen active army
corps are reported now in transfer
and their places are being taken by
troops OF the second line.
II has rained very heavily along
tho frontier for several Gays and the
country in the north generally has
been transformed into a bog which
makes the movement of troops very
labOrious. Because OF this fact il
is believed Germany will depend on
lei second line troops, now in the
field, to oppose the Russian move
ment While she will throw her entire
first line army into action against
the allies in France in another SUI
preme effort to destroy the French
opposition.
Officials here declare that the at
tempt must fail. The German gen.
eral star. they say. made a fatal
error when il weakened its army of
invasion by Withdrawing more than
100000 men to send to East Prussia
and to aid the Austrians. 1t was

armies have effected a complete juno

Austrians have also decisively defeated
the Servian armies commanded by the

SOUVENIR EDITION.

AS a souvenir of this suspicious
event The Catholic Bulletin sends
forth this special edition to tell, in
feeble words, the story Of the
pioneer days in the history Of the
Catholic Church in Minneapolis,
In as far as it bears on the work
for religion done by the members
OF the Immaculate Conception par
ish, under the guidance of the de-
voted priests who bore the bur-
den of the day and the heats, =
and directed their spiritual &C.
tivities. 1t is story replete with
interest to the sons and daughters
who inherit the robust faith of
the early Catholics and have built
upon the foundations laid by their
forefathers with breadth of vi
sion and an insight into the pos
sibilities Of the future little less
than marvellous.
We have endeavored to make
the story as complete and instruct
i've as possible for the benefit Of
the present generation. It is
record of progress in things spirit
ual and eternal, no less than ma
terial, and a tribute to the zeal
of the congregation of the I'm
maculate Conception parish. May
it prove an incentive to other par
ishes, whose beginnings are not
less humble, to initiate their
praiseworthy ambition and gener-
GUS self-sacrifce for the cause of
Christ.

AN. AUSPICIOUs EVENT,

The opening of the Pro-Cathe-
dral Of st. Mary for divine wor-
ship, informal and unceremonious
though it be, because of the fact
that the sacred edifice is not COM
pletely furnished, is an event of
no little Importance in the history
OF the Catholic Church in Mime
apolis.
The people Of the Immaculate
Conception parish see in the open
ing OF the Pro-Cathedral, which is
henceforth to be their parish
church, the realization of long
cherished ambition to erect a.
church worthy of their virile faith
and spacious enough to accom-
modate their increasing numbers,
and the attainment Of a goal to-
wards which they have struggled
for a decade of years.
Their co-religionists of Hen
nepin County rejoice that they
have been privileged to assist in
bringing to completion this mag
nlticent edifice in which, from time
to time, they can greet the Chief
Pastor of the Diocese as in his
own Cathedral.
The citizens of MINNEAPOLIS,
not of 1.-THE household Of the

architectural gem which has been
set In the crown Of public build

pleased that the Pro-Cathedral

purpose which it is intended to
serve.

Henceforth, from it's sacrifcial

a fountain of grace will be open

oft-told story of the Redemption
wrought on Calvary will issue
from the lips Of Gods anointed
