PETITIONS FOR SOLDIERS
Members of Catholic Apostisship oi Prayer Remembering Armies ir World Conflict.

The millions of members of the League of the Sacred Heart, the apos- tleship of Prayer. in this country. in cludins members in the Norwich Cath olic churches. are praying during March for soldiers, in accordance with the following leafiet of instructions:
 It is according to Catholic teaching that when there is question Of nation al existence or of upholding the nor ality and the religion of the world war is iuStifabie and even holy. When war is waged by a nation and the reasons that justify it are not so clear the people can trust their rulers and obey their commands War cannot be waged without soldiers and so the Holy Father turns our thoughts this month to the millions of men now on the battlefields in Europe and asks us to pray for them.
 War is always horrible. and no mat ter how conditions may he alleviated by international agreements in modern times or how convinced the soldiers on both sides may be of the holiness of the cause for which they are fight | ing. their occupation of butchering their fellowmen is calculated 10 arouse all their animal passions and brutal | instincts. That there may not be !n- | dividuaI violations of the laws laid down by civilized nations may well | be the subject of our earnest prayer It has been noted that the present
 wars have been the occasion of a re-
 markable revival of the religious spir- | it among soldiers. In many Catholic villages every man who was summon | ed to the front went to his religious | duties before setting out and there | can be no doubt that many have died | during the war with honor and glory
 whose death in times of peace would have given litle consolation.
 As we pray with all our fervor fcI
 the restoration of lasting peace, let us
 be mindful of those whose lives arC I in constant danger. that God may gi-t
 them the grace of doing their duty
 we'll and. If called on to sacrifice theil
 lives, the grace of dying at peace witt Him.

FORMER NORWICH MAN
 ORGANIZES COMPANY
B. F. LeaVitt is President of Toledo
 Diving Concern.

B. F Leavitt, formerly of this city, in company with several prominent business men of Toledo. O.. has or ganized the Leavitt Diving Arnor company with $3O,Ooo capital for sal vaging lost cargoes. MT. Leavitt is president of the company.
 The corporation has exclusive rights to new diving apparatus which is said to permit work TOO feet under water. The present diving record is about 240 feet, attained by diver who went down for the F-4, a United States submarine, which sunk off the Hawaiian islands. The diver was able to remain submerged only a short time.
 Air Hose Unnecessary. Ordinarily diver seldom is required
 to work at a greater depth than f5 feet.
 The chief difference between this new suit and that in use is that the new one is rigid, so that 1t can with stand enormous pressure from the outside, while the old style suit is | flexible and must be inflated with a strong air pump on the surface. The air is unnecessary in the new
 ermor. An oxygen tank supplies the l divers needs.
 The "Leavitt Diving Arnor," as the l invention is called, will be made in 1 IOleQO. several manufacturers nave
 been asked for bids. B. F. Leavitt, in- | ventor will superinterd construction | of the suit. which is expected to be ! finished in six weeks.
 The preliminary test will then be ! held on the great lakes. MT. Leavitt | will be the first to descend. If the test shows the suit reliable | the company purposes starting sal | wage work immediately. It has writ | ten to the department of commerce al Washington for wreck chart" which | shows the location of all sunlSen car | goes and their contents. | Normal surface pressure Is main | tained in the apparatus, making il
 possible for a diver to remain sub-
 merged about four hours, the replen-
 ishment of the oxygen tank being the
 only reason for ascent. The diver is l able to return to his work immediate. l ly.
 | It is beyond endurance to remain below in the ordinary suit for more 1 than 20 minutes, and the diver mus
 be raised and lowered slowly to al.
 low blood pressure to adjust itself tt conditions. The armor weighs 12i pounds and requires no weights. Int
 shoes weigh 16 pounds.
 As the pressure attained at a deptl of 700 feet is about $50 pounds to tn square inch and the materials O
 which the suit is to be made are guar
 anteed to withstand 1,500 pounds t the square inch. the margin of safet.

PENSION DAY FOR VETS.
New Plan of Forwarding Checks is an
 Improvement Over Old.

Saturday was pension day for vet erans of the Civil and Spanish-Ameri- can wars.
 The present plan of forwarding checks without the bother of identf- flying oneself every three months is a step forward that is fully apre- ciated by the veterans. Under the old plan the pensioner was obliged to fill out blank each quarter day, hunt up a notary and make oath to the state ments, then forward it to headquart- CTS. If he failed in some trivial mat ter, back came the paper with a print ed slip on which would be indicated the failure. If he hit the buIlseye this time, so to speak. in a few days the check would get around. Promptly on each quarter day morning now the postman delivers the goods without any formality whatever. And the "boys" appreciate the promptness
