THREE TYPES OF MINES
MENACE HOSTILE SHIPS

Washington, Aug. 2O.-The various
in an official statement issued by the
navy department. According to warn
ing given the United States by Eng
land and Germany, the North sea and
English channel are both sown with
these mines. The statement reads:
There are three types of mines i'm
use
First, the anchored contact mine,
which is anchored in a definite local
ity, usually channel way where
ships must pass through to attack.
These mines explode when any vessel
strikes one, and therefore must be ac-
curatcly chartcd in order that ships
may he piloted i'm and out of port
without danger. Such mines are held
at "A depth of Il or 20 feet from the
surface Of the water by certain
amount of reserve buoyancy. They are
charged with varying amounts of high
explosive, depending upon their size
and may contain as much as 300
pounds.
Second, anchored mines which do
not explode on contact. but are eX-
plOdcd by means of electric wires from
fortified control stations on shore. They
are usually arranged i'm groups, so that
several are exploded at the same time.
Since these mines are exploded only at
the will of the operator on shore. in
noccnt ships can pass over them with
out danger. These mines can be plant
ed long in advance of hostiities. The
anchored mines must become ineffect-
i've if they by accident come adrift
from their moorings.
Third. floating mines. These are
generally of much smaller size and are
sown i'm the probable path of the enc
my. Inasmuch as they are alike harm
full to friend and foe they are made
TO sink at the end of one hour, in
accordance with the terms of The Ha-
que convention.
Mines are generally alike in prin
ciple, although different nations may
have different ways of accomplishing
the same result"

The demand for an American mer-
chant marine has reached the point
where it cannot be denied. II is a ma
uonal demand IN behalf Of a revival OF

but il is Of the highest Importance.
Thirteen of the vessels, including the

at South Boston. The offer has re-

Russians Must
Take 3 Forts to
Enter Germany

Germany's principal land fortiiica-
ber and all except two of them are
set far back in German territory, rath-
er than directly upon the boundary.
Natural barriers have been chosen
wherever available. This causes i'm
many parts of the frontier a difference
of from 80 to 100 miles between the
geographical boundary and the practi-
cal military boundary" as marked by
strong defenses.
The greatest Decline distance be-
tween major Notifications along the
Russian border is less than 100 miles.
Hence any army seeking to sweep the
interior without encountering the fort
batteries would be obliged to present
it's flank to fortified enemy not more
than so miles away.
The eight chief fortified centers are
Memel, Konigsberg, Danzig, Marien-
werder. Thorn, Posen, Glogan and
Glatz.
The Vistula river forms q natural
barrier against Russia in the north
eastern corner of Germany. In the
central part Of the border Posen is pro-
tected not only by its fort, but by the
Wharf.-The river. Glogan and the rest of
the southern portion of the border is
protected by thes oder river.

POPE Plus X.


The pontihcate OF the late Pope Plus
Y was characterized by that spirit Of
modesty which never abandoned him
and by that strong religious feeling
which made him choose as motto, ITO
restore everything to Christ" He
was confronted with some Of the most
momentous problems, religious and
governmental. with which the Holy
See has had to deal in modern times.
1t would take Ions to enumerate all
the reforms OF a religious character
initiated by Plus Y such as that OF
restoring the Gregorian chants, Of
preaching every Sunday from a text
from the Bible, himself giving the
good example by having, as long as
his strength allowed him, the faithful
OF the different parishes Of Rome in
the courtyard Of san Damaso TO hear
him explain the Gospel story, and car
rying out one after the other as pope
the same ideas and principles which
ne had confessed and advocated as
bishop and patriarch. one of his un
dertakings will leave an important
mark in the history of the papacy-
the codification Of ecclesiastic law He
entrusted the work 10 an illustrious
scholar in Canon Law, Mgr. Pietro
Gasparri, on whom he conferred the
Red Hat in December 1907. Another
epoch making task was that OF the
revision of the Nulgate which he con-
fGed 10 Father Francis Aidan Gasquet,
Abbot President Of the English Bene
dictine Congregation, SO well known as
learned historian.
Plus y was determined to restore
the most iron discipline among the
clergy, and this led 10 an unrelenting
campaign against that section of &C.
clcsiastics who professed unorthodox
opinions and were called Modernists.
The encyclical promulgated on Sep
tcmber 5, 1907, condemned the Modern
lists and their doctrines.
Another very important reform due
TO Plus X is that Of the Roman Curia,
which was still ruled by the Bull Of
SiXtus V. OF January. 1888. With this
Ec reformed the Offices the ecclesias-
teal courts and the Roman congrega-
uons, Withdrawing America. Canada,
Newfoundland, Great Britain, Holland
and Luxembourg, from the jurisdic-
ton OF Propaganda Eide, removing
them therefore from among the mis-
sionary countries and putting them,
t,g,fIsr with tho r.-f gf tho catholic
world, under the COnsistorial Congre-
cation.
To Americans Plus X was especially
interesting His great friendship for
this country, his frequent audiences
to Americans. both Catholic ana nom
catholic and his interest in American
affairs kept him in closer touch with
this side Of the Atlantic than perhaps
any pUutn that has preceded him.
