IOWA LOSES THREE STARS.
Captain Davis, Laun and Jenkins IL
Last Game Saturday.

Last 1dTOo SATURDAY
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Nov. 26.-Three Iowa uni
varsity footlballstars shone for the last
time on Iowa field, as players who may
participate in conference games or
other regular football contests, when
they took part in the sensational to
3 victory over Ames, Saturday after
noon. They are Captain ''Waddie'
Davis right halfhack, whose trusty toe
booted the six points into Iowas grip
sack and overtopped Boyd's single
dropkick just 100 per cent; CHUCK
Laun, the Charles City crack, who came
back from the navy to make Iowa
fullback position the best-filled in the
state; Jenkins, one of the best quarter
backs S. U. I. has had in years, and
Blocker, left halfback, who finished
with one of the finest games of his
career. In addition to these the Hawk
eyes will lose Nugent, halfback, and
Kelly, lineman-whereby the team in
1918 ought to start with excellent pros
poets, considering the wealth OF good
material veteran, second string and
freshmen available, If the war does not
intervene.

followers. Ronald G. Reed, of Waterloo,
crack left end, is likely to land the
captaincy for next year, when tho.
squad votes ere long.
The victory over Ames Saturday was
one Of the neatest, sweetest and COM
pletest the Hawks have captured in
many year.
The teams fought stubbornly thru
out the major part of each of the four
quarters and the dropkicking Of the
two toe-featured stars was the only
medium of point-making In the end.
Two or three times during the battle
either team seemed likely to smash it's
way to a touchdown, but the enemy
braced, and punting followed. Of neces-
sity, when bucks and runs failed.
Iowa gained much ground thru the for
ward passes Of Laun to Reed and
Pyles and Jenkins to Pyles, and by the
remarka BILE line plunging Of Laun (who
garnered in Twenty-Five yards in six
plays) and Jenki:ts, Davis and Peterson.
Laun's punting was also valuable as
an asset in the approach to a drop
kicking spot. For Ames, Vanderloo,
Boyd, Aldrich and especially Heater
hit the Hawkeye line dangerously hard
and often. They also landed .numer-
Gus end runs but, because Of Iowa's
splendid braces, could not pound out
or scamper away with a touchdown.
The Aggies failed with all forward pass
attempts save one. Thus Boyd's drop
kick was their only real accomplish
ment ultimately

- we relieved the Twenty-si1th
Canadian battalion. Scouts from that
organization came back to the villages
of Dinkiebusch and Renninghelst to
tell US how glad they were to see us
and to show us the way In. AS we
proceeded overland, before reaching
the communication trenches at the
front. these scouts paid us the hos
pitable attention due strangers-that
is, one Of them, leading Il platoon,
would say:
Next 200 yards IN machine gun
range. Keep quiet, don't run and be
ready to drop quick If you are
warned"
There was one scout to each platoon,
and we followed him single file, most
Of the time along roads or we'll worn
paths, but sometimes through thickets
and ragged fields. Every now and then
the scout would yell ut us to drop,
and down we'd go on our stomachs,
while away off in the distance we
could hear the output" Of machine
guns, the first sound Of hostile firing
that had ever reached our ears.
ITS all right" said the scout. "They
haven't seen us or got track of Us.
They're just firing on suspicion"
Nevertheless, when our various pla-
toons had all got into the front reserve
trenches, at about two hours after
midnight, we learned that the first
blood Of our battalion had been spilled.
Two men had been wounded, though
neither fatally. Our own stretcher
bearers took our wounded back to the
field hospital at Dinkiebusch. The men
Of the Twenty-sixth battalion spent
the rest Of the night instructlng us
and then left us to hold the position.
We were as nervous as lot Of cats,
and it seemed to me that the Germans
must certainly know that they could
come over and walk right through us,
but outside Of Il few casualties from
sniping, such as the one that befel
the Fourteenth platoon man. which l

ONLY TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS A
MONTH TO SUPPORT AN
ORPHANAGE.

The Superior of ST. AIMS Convent in
India has been doing some ardent
praying in order that Divine Provi-
dence may rescue the orphans in her
care from the distress which threatens.
In a Letter she states:
1--WE are feeling the affects of the
war here in every possible way. We
have to pay three and four times as
much for provisions as we formerly
did. Our good Bishop is doing all
he can for us, but he can spare only
twenty-five dollars month to support
four Sisters and twenty orphans
''The price of grain has gone up
and you must know how hard it is to
satisfy the appetites of growing chill
dren. Last week l told them to pray
to good st. Joseph to fill the grain
bins. They said they would, but also
suggested that the prayers be put on
paper and sent to the good friends
who live so far away and help the mis-
sionaries."

REVOLUTIONS MAKE MANY
ABANDONED BABIES IN
CHINA.

The numerous revolutions that
have disturbed China for the last five
years have had the effect of causing
more babies than ever to be cast
away as useless encunlbrances by
their parents. Bishop Rouchouse
says that in his Vicariate of West Sc
Tchouan, the Franciscan missionaries
OF Mary find their orphanage crowded
to the doors; but with fine disre-
gard of everything except helping the
poor little ones, they go on hunting
out the castaways and bringing them
home. The Sisters have made every
economy possible, but the Bishop
wonders how they are going to secure
even bit of rice pretty soon. There
are now more than five hundred little
mouths to be fed, and unless He, Who
cares for the birds of the fields, sends
a good provider for these waits, they
will suffer from hunger.

THE CATHOLIC BULLETIN, MARCH "a, 1917


chists themselves we're only begin
ners, having had very little instruc-
ton. Now, thank God, l have three
catechlsts who promise to give Salts
faction. One is Francis Borgia who
proyldentially found his family in a
village of this neighborhood after he
had been separated from them by the
slave traders. After many adven-
lures he has at last begun work with
his wife, whom he found at Mirura.
Yesterday he wrote me he has 20
catechumens already. Camlllus
whom | have written to you about is
the second. The third is Noah. All
three are getting results, presenting
me from time to time persons for
Baptism whom they have instructed.
This is not at all brilliant, | know;
but you must remember when l came
here there was nothing whatever.
Besides, the blacks of these parts
take less to Christian civilization
than any l ever met with. These
catechists are working without pay
except for an occasional present |
give them. And my only resources
are what we make on the cultivation
of our fields and there are years like
the present one when that yield is a
minus quantity on account of the ex-
ceptional drought. $1,000 would solve
the catechist problem once for all
(who will give a mite toward that
sum?)

STILL ANOTHER DISASTROUS
FIRE.

The missions have been very unfor
tunate this winter in regard to fires.
Those of our own country have suffer
ed severely, due no doubt to the cold
weather which has brought about
OVer-heated stoves.
Sister Mary of st. Labre's Mission,
Ashland, Montana, is the latest to re-
port the loss of the asylum and it's
furnishings. Indeed it was little short
of miraculous that no fatalities &C.
CURED. The Sister, who states they
are all much in want of immediate
help, says:
I'VE were burned to the ground on
January II, only saving our lives and
what we had on, so we are much in
need of clothes. We could not secure
anything for ourselves or boys and
girls-all went in less than two hours.
With supply of shoes, bedding and
wearing apparel the work can go. in
the church, but without those necessi-
ties we are helpless. Will someone
come to our assistance?"

FOUR CENTS THEIR DAILY WAGE.

Rev. Westropp, S. J., paints a
gloomy picture of the field in which
he now finds himself Floods have
made terrible havoc in the district,
and conditions, always bad enough,
have reached the breaking point
Writing about his Canarese people,
he says:
'The natives of this part of India
are poor enough in normal times as
they live almost entirely on bread
alone. The daily wage is four cents,
and with this they buy some grain,
grind it between two stones into
-four, make it into wha they call
bread, and use what little money re-
mains to buy clothing. They will
now be dependent on the mission
They are, as rule, little better fed
or housed than cattle in the United
States, if even as we'll. No furniture,
no bed or bedding; their clothes are
also used as bed clothes. Many wan
der through the streets picking up
manure which they dry and use for
fuel to bake their bread. A school
or chapel can be built for a small
sum, catechist can be had for $500
per month.
