PATTERNS HARTY's REMOVAL

EA4E1ELEGsS hkA1G4X 1SELN1OVA ALL
 Rev. Andrew F. Harty, up to to- day the first assistant pastor of the Church of the Sacred Heart, received notification from Bishop Tferney this morning of his transfer from this city to St. Patrick's church, New Haven, and he left for his new post this af- ternoon- The transfer is in the line of promotion.
 The announcement of the transfer will cause more regret than surprise. Rev. Father Harty has been in Bridgeport for Is months only and during that time he has won more friends among the young people of the town, irrespective of creed, perhaps than any clergyman in Bridgeport. It is undoubtedly a fact that he had more Protestant friends in this city than any other Catholic clergyman, and his popularity was deserving.
 The removal of Father Harty has been expected for some time, in fact since the transfer of Father Leddy from Hartford to the Church of the Sacred Heart in this city. The re- grettabIe thing of it all is that the transfer is against his will, but it has been the wish of his superior for "a long while. He takes with him, how ever, the good wishes of an unlimited number of warm friends who wish that his new berth will be more con- genial than the one he has just va cated.

 Secretary Breckinridge paid high tribute to the spirit that has kept the National Guard alive and active and has built it up to an organization 129, 900 strong. despite public apathy to- ward the question of military prepar- edness in days of peace.
 'Ever since the Spanish war; he said, there has been a group of men, unseIfish, persistent, energetic, that in season and out of season and always without any great favor, have dinned into the ears of the American Public the now apparent need for expansion and improvement of the land forces of the nation.

Fac ed with these problems, he added the originators of the policy had fallen back upon what the President had de- fined as Ca citizenry trained accus- toned to arms and always ready to take the field. This, he said was the theory upon which was founded the plan to organize a Continental army of 100000 men. 'N Secretary Breckinridge indicated that a. new division. of the general staff probably would be created to handle the affairs of the Continental army, although many details of the admin istration would remain under com manders of territorial. departments of the Regular army. These departments, he said, would be further sub-diVided with states as a territorial unit of ad- rninfstration and by divisions as tacti- cal units.

Fresh from the scenes of the war,

abandon, comes Irwin S. Cobb, the hu-

writer, to give an illustrated talk on
some recent experiences in the war zone

Perhaps there is no man in America
who knows more about what is going on
in Europe than Cobb, who knocked
around Belgium in the wakes of both
armies. Although he was under arrest
several times he escaped with a whole
hide and his illuminative articles have
gained wide attention. Readers of the
