PRIEST FORGOT HIS mlssAL.

Inc Kew. freq william r. 6ake ID
a missionary priest who is doing much
toward conserving the Faith of the
Catholics of North Dakota. The pio-
neer missionaries of this country did
not nave sreat deal harder cine
than Father Hake is having. It is
needless to say that his stations are
often churchless and chapelless. There
is plenty of room on the prairies of
his territory to erect little temples Of
Catholic worship; but there is not
plenty of money. At least it has not
come Father Hake's way. Like all
other missionaries, Father Hake is a
very grateful man; gratitude seems to
be his predominant passion-gratitude
and work. The long trips that he is
obliged to make from one mission to
another are filled with hardships of
many kinds, and to minimize these, to
some extent at least, the priest has
petitioned the Catholic Church Exten-
sion Society to send him Missionary
Mass Outfit. This Mass Outfit costs
$110 and contains all the necessary
articles for the celebration of the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass. Nothing is
missing from the chalice and vest
ments to the altar linens and altar
stones. There is also a folding table
which serves as an altar table. Such
gift would, indeed, prove to be a
boon to this missionary.
"My only conveyance to some of the
stations in my missions is a saddle
pony that has to carry me and my
Mass service outfit over distance of
from ten to twenty-five miles. The
mission chapels are on an average of
from ten to twenty-five miles distant
from one another, and only when it
rains and the people cannot come to
their respective little chapels in which
Sunday Mass is celebrated once a
month-only then do I visit the other
stations in order that the people who
could not attend services do not have
to be without public religious services
for longer time than one month.
Zone can hardly imagine the great
inconvenience l suffer, if, perchance l
forget even one article necessary for
the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass. Twice it happened that
l thought my saddle pack was COM
pleted, but was mistaken. Once l
was thirteen miles from home when,
to my great distress, I became con-
scious of having left my missal at
home. l thought knew the perma-
nent parts of the Mass by heart, but,
alas, my poor memory failed me, and
l had to travel back for the missal.
That day went twenty-six miles far.
Their than would if l had one of those
Missionary Mass Outfits that l so de-
SIRE"

sionary Mass outfit costing $110 can

FORCED THE RUSSIAN RETREAT

Petrograd, eFb. 22.-Explanation of
the Russian retirement from East
Prussia is containes in a communica-

coup is attributed largely to the lack
Of strategic railways which prevented
the Russians from concentrating with
necessary rapidity on our East Prus-
sian front forces Indispensable to
ward off this drive Of the enemy
The general staff asserts that the
massing of German troops in East
Prussia was rev . led to the Russians
on Feb. 4, hut that the magnitude of
the concentration did not become
known until several days later. Be-
cause Of these conditions, it is stat
ed. withdrawal of the 10th Russian
army from East Prussia towards the
frontier was decided upon. This was
followed later by a further retirement
towards the Niemen and the Bobr
rivers The communication follows:
1.-THE Germans after a series Of eX-
cepticnally obstinate and tenacious at
tacks which cost them innunerable
victims. became persuaded of the i'm
possibility Of dislodging us from the
left bank Of the Vistula and proceed

Having finished the formation in
the interior of their country of several

the transportation Of troops from their

work of railroads, the Germans were
enabled to launch an overwhelming
