DRIVE DUE This
FALL, LONDON HEARS
Activity of French Artillery
Causes Report Of Offensive
Planned for Mid October
INFANTRY IS
NOW INACTIVE

LONDON. Aug. 3O.-Rumors are
widely current that the date for the
long deferred big push has been set
for mid-October. Naturally there is
no official recognition of these vague
reports, which apparently have origi-
mated in the belief that General Joffres
arrangements are about complete for
a forward movement in great force.
There has been increasing activity
by the artillery on the western front
that is thought to have its signifi-
canoe. The French have shelled al
most the entire length of the German
line in the last two days, at some
points attaining exceptional severity.
There is no indication whether II fol-
lowed reports OF German troops con-
centration OF was intended to feel out
the strength of the opposing forces.
Artois and the Hetsas sector OF
Flanders we're particularly shaken by
the thunder of the field guns. Steen-
straate received a quantity of shells
where the Germans are holding a part
of the hamlet.
No infantry actions have been re-
ported from the Argonne to the sea
for a week. except the daily exchanges
of bombs and hand grenades. which
does nothing but keep the opposing
trenches on the alert.

BISHOPS MAY NOW
REMOVE PASTORS
Ruling By Sacred Congrega-
ton in Rome Affects 1888
Catholic Clergymen
MANY PRIESTS
NOT AFFECTED

Archbishops and bishops of the Ro-
man Catholic Church in this country,
have received word from Rome of
most far reaching Interpretation of
Church law.
This is to the effect that hereafter
removable rectors are still remov-
able at the pleasure of the bishop"
Heretofore no pastor of a parish
church could be removed by his
bishop against his will without trial.
This decision in reference to priests
holding the position Of removable rec
tors in the United States was render
ed by the Sacred Congregation. to
which all such issues are referred.
1t is composed of resident Cardinals
In Rome, and their decisions are re-
ferred to the Pontiff for approval. The
new ruling will effect $3.50 clery-
men.
The only priests not affected by the
Vatican decision are irremovable rec
tors, members of religious orders and
curates. The total number of Ro-
man Catholic clergy in this country is
1894 The ruling will effect Ill
bishops and 1,3O9,310 members Of the
Church.
The Vatican ruling came in reply
to a question which had been laid
before the Congregation. II was
whether the canonical process pro-
vided for and laid down in the decree
"Maxima Cura." which was issued in
1911, applies in the case Of "rectors"
defined by the Third Plenary Council
of Baltimore as removable" The
answer is in the negative" was the
reply of the Sacred Congregation.
1t has been stated that the impress
sion in Rome is that a like decision
of the Congregation will soon be rem
dered in England. Scotland and AUS
tralia.
A bishop must have just and pro-
portionate reason for dismissing or
transferring a pastor against his will.
Should the priest believe himself
wronged he may appeal to the Vati-
can or to its representatives.
The new ruling will lessen the
tasks of Archbishop Giovanni Bon
zano, of Washington. D. c.. apostolic
delegate. one of whose chief duties
is to adjust grievances between
priests and bishops.

AIM TO DO BIG THINGS
WHEN CONGRESS MEETS

WASHINGTON. Aug 30.--This week
the reports of Secretary Garrison ana
Secretary Daniels will be submitted to
the President on the state Of the army
and navy, with their recommendations
for provisions for the national defense.
The President intends TO 60 into the
question of national defense thoroughly
and he will confer with Senators Cham
berlain and Iillman, of the Senate com
mittees on military and naval affairs,
and with Representatives Hay and Pad
gett, of the corresponding committees
in the House.
II is his purpose TO get the Demo
cratic leaders in Congress TO agree upon
some definite plan by which they can
legislate to improve the national de-
lenses without an extraordinary in
crease in the appropriations.
That there will be a lively contest
in both the Senate and House over
proposed national defense legislation
is indicated in recent interviews with
Chairman Hay of the House Commit
tee on Military Affairs and Represen-
tative Claude Hitchin. who has been
selected by the Democrats for major
ity leader of the House to succeed
Oscar w. Underwood, who goes to
the Senate.
Mr.. Hitchin said he would not
stand for a large increase in the
regular army or big appropriations
for dreadnoughts. He thinks the
submarine has won a prominent
place in national defense and is will
ing to provide literally TO increase
the number in the navy.
II looks now as If the big issue be-
fore Congress next winter will be the
