MOTOR CHAPEL est. JOSEPH"

The new motor chapel "St. Joseph"
donated by a California woman, is
keeping the record set by the est
Peter for bringing fallen away Cath
olics back to the Church as we'll as
bringing in converts. Like the st.
Peter, this car is in charge
of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate.
These fathers are tireless missioners,
going from one town to another in
the wilds of Texas, and needless to
say creating a sensation by means of
the st. Joseph" which proves fruit
full in the saving of souls, These
Mexicans, sadly neglected by our
Catholics, are very ignorant of the
fundamental truths of our holy relig-
ion, and indeed one can hardly blame
them. Even the densely populated
centers of Catholicity where the lux
uries of worship are to be found, pro-
duce but few saints, and if these peo-
pie. forgotten as to churches and
priest, produce many socialists and
even indifferentists, one cannot blame
them for being ignorant of what they
were never taught.
One day, says Father Pollen, o.
M. l., when was giving mission
to a ranchero on the Rio Grande, 1
was saying Mass. and when l turned
around to say Dominus vobiscum, a
Mexican woman, unused to the Mass
thought was going to say good morn
ing, and she anticipated me- Good
morning, Father she called to me,
did you spend a good night 1t was
simply ignorance on her part and her
intention was good These people
have been sadly neglected. We are
doing all we can to bring them back
and renew the faith that they received
in Baptism in their souls, but empty
handed it is hard work The great
bait we have for them is stereopticon
views. A friend of mine loaned me a
set of pictures-they were mostly upon
the mysteries of the Rosary. When
We say the Rosary one of the Fathers
puts the slides on the screen and
explains the picture. These Next
cans are enamored of them. They

pErRuGRAD. Dee. la.--Thc report issued
Nv the Russian General stan tonight
puts a different complexion on the situa-
ton in Poland from that asserted n
Berlin.
The General Staa announces that a
Russian army Is operating successfully
in the rear Of the force Marshal Won
Iindenburg has drawn up west of War
saw There is y bare lntimatiou In the
announcement that the advanced Ger
man army may find itse.f in trap when
the Russians before Warsaw are
strengthened sufficiently 10y reinforce
menjs to take the offensive.
To-day at Dubrlyn. eighteen miles
southwest Of Piock and fifty miles IN the
rear Of the advance operations of the
Germans. Russian army repulsed a
German force and prevented it from
crossing the Nistula The text of the
official statement was as follows:
on the right bank of the Nistula
there has been no change. An at
tempt by the enemy to cross the
river near Dobrzen was stopped by
our artillery and he was hastily OBJ
l.ged to evacuate an island in mid
stream which he had occupied. We
captured his pontoons.
The fighting along the B1ura
River is beginning To develop. We
have repealed several German at
tack-
In the other districts on the left
OF the Nistula thu engagements have
been nothing more than outpost af-
fairs.
In western Gaicia. on the left
bank Of the Dunasstz. on the night
OF December l7-lS We captured
. thousand prisoners.
4 strong force of the l'rZcmNsl
garrison is trying to make its way
out in the direction of Bicrchea.
CUR troops are fighting there under
favorable conditions.
The reference to operations in west
ern iaiicia. presumably in the area
between the River Dunajtc and Cracow,
suggests that the Austrian advance from
the Carpathians has been repulsed, and
that the Russians were not compelled
to withdraw from fortified positions
southeast of CraCuw.
