At the national meeting of the La
dies Catholic Benevolent association
held in Atlantic City last week, it was
decided that President Wilson could
draw not only on the services of the
10000 members of the association,
but would have at his disposal fund
Of $2,500,000 accumulated by the or
ganization during the last twenty
seven years, for any needs the United
States Of America may designate. Z
The nine hundred delegates in at
tendance were not satisfied until Miss
Kate Mahoney, Of Troy, N. Y, presi-
dent of the association, had wired
President Wilson, putting him in
touch with the fact that 1850 chap
ters of the organization, representing
every state in the Union, were not only
prepared to carry out any war work
the government might direct, but that
he might also depend upon it that the
projects assigned would be financed
without recourse to government or
state aid.
