Mass

Next Monday

Washington, Aug. 5-Advocates Of
total abstinence from liquor from all
parts of the United States will
gather at st. Patrick's Catholic
Church, in this city. Wednesday for a
pontifcal mass that will open the an
nual convention of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union. There will be half
a dozen delegates from Baltimore,
the principal one being Mgr. NJ. F.
Foley, pastor of St. Paul's Catholic
Church.
The pontifcal mass will be cele-
brated by Bishop D. J. O'Connell, of
Richmond, Va, and Mgr. John Bon
zano, apostolic delegate, will preside.
The sermon will be delivered by Arch
bishop John J. Keane, of Dubuque,
Iowa. director of the National Union.
Mgr. Foley will be the assistant priest
at the mass. The Rev. P. c. -O'Call-
laghan, national president. will also
be in the sanctuary.
There will be business meeting in
the afternoon and in the evening the
visiting priests will be entertained by
the pastors of Washington. On Thurs
day the business meetings will be
continued at the Catholic University.
and in the evening there will be a
public meeting at the New National

Mary's Industrial School Band will
play. On Friday the visitors will be
shown around the city in automobiles.
While the union is n strong advo-
cate of the total abstinence from in
observation-disclosures, it does not believe
the end can be accomplished by pro-
hibition, and will take no action with
regard to the forthcoming elections
when the prohibition amendments will
be voted upon. The members of the
union believe in making the indivi-
dual realize the effects of strong
drink. and thus keeping him away
from the saloons.

U-BOATS OFF CAPES.
Protect Deutschland and Drive
lnemy Patrols From Ground.

Oceangoing fighting submarines
are off the Virginia capes to protect
the German subsea freighter Deutsch-
land, according to Capt. George No.
we'll of the Norfolk and Washing
ton steamer Southland, which ariv-
ed at this port yesterday. According
to Capt. Novel;, who left Norfolk
Thursday night, the Deutschland was
enabled to get away because the pres
ence of the submarines became known
to the allied patrol off the Virginia
capes, driving all but one British
cruiser to a distance beyond the 3
mile limit.
Weather off the capes has not been
such as to prevent the patrol from
hugging the shore, hence, according
to NOVEL;, there must be some vi
tally good reason for soaring of the
patrol. This reason, he is convinced
is found in the reported presence o.
the U-boats. He did not believe that
the Bremen is oft the capes, particu
larly in view of the fact that Capt
Hinsch, of the Eastern Forwarding
Company, Baltimore, said at Norfolk
late Thursday: 81 wouldn't be here i
