PANTAGES,

There are many theatergoers who
have never had an opportunity to see
a real cowboy roundup. For the
benefit of these, Pantages has secured
one of the most expensive and most
difficult to stage acts that has been
evolved of recent years.
George Hornbrook's "a Texas
Roundup" is everything the name i'm
plies-a big act, in which ten horses
and seven expert riders and cow
punchers bring the skilled equestrian
ism of the ranch to a stage so that it
can be witnessed in winter in the
comfort of cozy theater. There will
be bucking bronchos, contests in rop-
ing, fancy riding, and all the other
wild things that go with the round
up in all it's pure Americanism. In
spite of the belief many may have,
that such an act cannot be staged,
it will be seen just as advertised in
the new bill at Pantages.
4AdI AluCA-tdlhcu-Ol pA6yl6C, "A
Corner in Wireless" with Bruce Duff
fet and Company, will be on the bill.
1t is splendidly mounted little play,
in which the hidden dangers of bust
ness gambling are made into prob
lem play, which has called for pub.
lie expression from many of the best
known nuh1ic man
Weber, Beck and Frazier will bring
a classy act, and the atmosphere of
Heidelberg, in rathskeller environ
ment, that will have many novelties
in song and jest. Adler and Airline
have won enconiums for bringing a
real novelty in singing and talking
act. La Hoon and Dupreece have
beautifully mounted act of diversity,
closing with genuine surprise.
Another special comedy will be
shown, because of the glad reception
given to the comedy picture that
opened the preceding bill. Patrons
of Pantages will be we'll pleased with
what is offered in this expensive list
of acts.

Force Priests to
Fight for England

Catholics of New Zealand Shocked
When They Learn That Many Cath
oIic Priests Were Drawn on First
Ballot Under Compulsory Clauses Of
Military Service Act.
The New Zealand Tablet writes:
Last week the Catholics of New Zea-
land received a decidedly unpleasant
shock when the names of quite large
number of priests-including those
OF the rector of Holy Cross College
and one of its professors-figured in
the list Of those who had received
notice that they had been drawn in
the first ballot under the compulsory
clauses of the Military Service Act,
and that they would be required to
enter camp in preparation for active
service in the field unless successful
appeal were lodged within specified
time. Catholic people were further
disquieted by the ambiguous utter
ances of the minister of defense, who,
when questioned by a press inter-
viewer on the subject refused to COM
init himself as to the intention of the
authorities further than to say that
the clergy would not be regarded as
privileged class. In no other por-
ton of the British Empire has there
been any attempt to dragon the
clergy into abandoning their ministry
of peace and reconciliation, and to
coerce them into imbruing their
hands in human blood; and any ef-
fort to give effect to such a proposal
would certainly have been regarded
as very serious matter. A deputa-
ton representing the hierarchy of
the church duly waited upon the min
lister and the matter has now been
definitelf Strengthened out. The min
lister informed the deputation that the
authorities Of. every church would
have the right of appeal on behalf of
priest or minister drawn in the bal
lot. In the cause of the Catholic
church the right will be exercised by
the bishops. If it is represented to
the Hon. Mr.. Myers, who is the min
lister responsible for exemptions, that
a clergyman ought not to be taken,
he will act under regulation 8, and
recommend to the Military Service
Board that he be exempted This
rule is of general application.

Villa Maria Academy
Has Ideal Location
A Beautiful School Situated on Banks
Of Mississippi.

The Villa Maria Academy, From
tenac, Mimi, is not as we'll known as
it should be. Too few of our Mime
sofa girls enjoy the advantages it af-
fords in the way of physical, intellec-
tual and moral development.
The location is ideal. 1t nestles in
the primeval forest that stretches
along the banks of the Mississippi,
which at this place widens out in the
beautiful Lake Pepin. No better op-
portunities for invigorating walks
could be afforded. At the beginning
and near the close of the school year
the girls enjoy boating; and during the
bathing season there is no more pri-
vate and delightful bathing place than
that belonging to the Academy Dur
ing the winter months the health and
happiness of the pupils is we'll at
tended to. Regular and invigorating
calesthenics are participated in by all

competent leader Entertainments that
do not keep the pupils from their class
rooms are frequently given and they
who have been fortunate enough to at
tend some of these amateur theatricals
are impressed with the happy class of
plays and the still happier spirit mani
tested by the participants.
The thorough training and the
course of study that make up the COM
plete academy curriculum is here CIV
en-. The Ursuline Sisters are in
charge. The only other school in this
state presided over by these compe-
tent Sisters is the Nazareth School at
Lake City, for boys. On account of not
having day schools in the large cities
few parents become aware of even the
existence of this excellent school.
Many parents who have sent their
children here have reason to be CRATE
full to these Sisters for guiding their
daughters at the critical time of life.
Some girls have not been sent there
until city environments have begun to
exercise baneful influence on their
pleasure-loving natures. On approach
ing the Villa, the visitor becomes i'm
pressed with the tone of the surround
ings and is at once convinced that this
is the ideal place to develop character
in the pupils. No place of public
amusements can be found within miles
of this school. No movie house or any
thing of this kind is here to distract
the girls who might, be inclined to in
dulge too much in the light things of
life. All learn to practice the great
virtue of self-denial, and to truly value
the wholesome and enrolling things
of life, while making progress along
all lines that make for a thorough edu-
cation.

be just as infallible now as is was in
the early ages, and must speak infal-
libby through its Councils now, as it
did then.
To believe that the Church has been
split into three parts, teaching diff
ferent doctrines as the truth, as for
instance on the subject of the Pap
acy, is to believe that the Holy Spirit
has ceased to guide the Church into
all truth; that the Church has ceased
to be infallible and that Holy Ghost
has ceased to speak through its Coun-
ellis.
Since the separation of the Greeks
in the eleventh century the Roman
Church has continuously claimed to
be the Holy Catholic Church, and that
her Councils, twelve in number, held
since the separation, are Ecumenical
Consequently, the conviction is
forced upon me that the Church has
not been divided; that the Greek and
Anglican Communions are not parts
of the true Church; that the Roman
Church is the true Church through
whose Councils the Holy Ghost speaks.
Unity Of the Church.
This conclusion puts a new light on
our Lords prayer for the unity of the
Church in the seventeenth chapter of
st. John. 1t had always been a puz-
zle to me how His prayer should so
entirely fail of being answered.
Having arrived at the above conclu-
sion the only possible action, whatever
pain or loss it might involve, was
to seek reconciliation with the Roman
Communion. When this reconciliation
will take place am unable at the pres
ent moment. to inform my readers, but
it will probably not be long delayed.
They may, however, be interested to
know that as. 1 am Ga years of age,
and married the question of "reordina-
ton" will not be raised.
This brings me to what causes me
the deepest pain, namely the fact that
must bring suffering upon so many
whom have loved, and whom have
been privileged to help in spiritual
matters. That one should suffer pain
ones self is nothing, but it does grieve
one to the heart to cause pain to
others.

London.-Lloyd Georges govern

house of commons curiously impressed
by it's achievements. There is a
strange notion that nothing has been
changed but the ministers. The evil
dence of gingering up the depart

was to follow the expulsion of the
so-called wait and see party is being
looked for on all hands without re-
suit.
The suspension of the cabinet sys-
tenn because Lloyd George considered
it a debating society has caused great
confusion. All sorts Of policies are
announced by all sorts of ministers.

THIRD TRAINING CAMP
Will Have Enlisted Men or Those Draft

Washington, D. c., Sept. 25.-A third
series of officers training camps will BIZ
opened by the war department early
in January. Candidates for commissions
Adjutant General Mccain announced last
night, will be selected from enlisted men
of the regular army or those called to
the colors under the selectiye draft law
no applications from civilians being
considered.
None of the training camps sites now
being utilized will be used for the next
series, it was said, although no intima-
ton of the location of the camps has
been given, 1t is probable that follow
ing the system used in selecting national
army environments, the majority of the
camps will be situated in the South in
order to escape the rigors of a northern
winter
The camps will afford men of the ma
tional army an opportunity to win com
missions and it is probable that the
drafted men will be heavily represented.
Secretary Baker recently announced
that every chance will be offered national
army men to rise from the ranks
Establishment of the third series of
camps is part of general policy of the
war department to continue the making
of officers by special training in order
to keep pace with the enlisted strength
of the service.

Most of the forests are pine and fir,
but there are also oak, beech and other
hard woods The trees are smaller than
in virgin American forests, but the
stands are often quite heavy. The for
ests are like the woodlots OF southern
New England, and the manner of cut
ting will be with portable sawmills,
similar to operations in logging and tie
cutting in Massachusetts, and Connecti-
cut. The larger logs will be sawn into
boards and dimension material, while the
smaller trees will be cut into hewn ties,
poles, props, etc.
The commissioned officers of the forest
