Adiutant General
Henry P. Mccain
Busiest Officer
Is First Officer South of Mason-Dixon
Line Since Civil War to Have Dis
tinction AS Adjutant General.

Among all the thousands of busy
officers, either in the Army or Navy,
Brigadier General Henry P. Mccain,
the adjutant general of the Army,
stands out most prominently now dur
ing the existing emergencies, as the
administration terms it.
BY law the duties placed on the
adjutant general are many and varied,
and most important, as he is really
the chief clerk or big private secre-
tary for all Of the Army.
General Mccain has had rapid and
distinguished career, and he has the
distinction of being the very first Of
ficer who won staff detail or assign
ment by the competitive examination
route.
He is a native of Mississippi, and is
probably the first officer born south of
the Mason and Dixon line who has
been the adjutant general of the Army
since the Civil war.
General Mccain has just arranged
with the committee on public informa-
ton for the regular issue of bulletins
giving the information about all deaths
that may occur in the Army. A special
bureau has been organized to keep
track of all casualties in the Army,
and to publish the information for the
benefit Of relatives and friends.
While always much occupied day
and night, General Mccain is ever
courteous and obliging.
Mrs. Mccain and the children are
Catholics and attend St. Paul's church.

A Rome correspondent writes:-
Switzerland is looking up. From q
private source / have just learned of
the reception into the Church of no
fewer than seven Protestant theologi-
cal students at Lausanne. And in
Geneva-Calvin's Geneva-it is esti-
mated that there are now more Cath
)lics than PrOtestants.."

DEATH OF FAMOUS LOURDES
PHYSICIAN.

Many old pilgrims to Lourdes will
learn with regret of the death of DR..
Boissarie, president of the Bureau of
Medical Constatations at Lourdes. His
colleagues extol his merit from the
medical point of view and all the pill
grims of Lourdes know his devotion
to the sick and his love for the Blessed
Virgin and the Blessed Sacrament.
Often he was to be seen at the process
sions of the sick, kneeling before his
ing Host He had very high idea of
his office and was obstinately scrupu-
lOus in determining the supernatural
character of cure, despite his joy in
verifying miracle, for he felt that
he had the honor of the Virgin of
Lourdes to guard before jealous
world. Therefore, when he pledged
his reputation, the renown of the bu-
:eau and the honor of God and our
Lady on a cure, his confreres and
those about realized the gravity of the
act. In 1904, when he had an audi
ence with the Pope, Plus X said to
him: "The word miracle must never
be lightly pronounced" and he never
forgot that injunction. He died of a
painful malady, from which he had
been suffering since the International
Eucharistic Congress of 1914 united at
the foot of Mary's rock nations that
were in few days to be clashing in
the most terrible of wars. A solemn
requiem Mass was celebrated in the
Basilica of Lourdes by Mons. Schap-
fer, Bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes, for
the repose of the Doctors soul.
In the knowledge of American In
dian languages Benedictine monks
hold first rank. A Benedictine lay
brother, Brother Giles, of Fort Tot
ten, has knowledge of Sioux we'll
nigh perfect. 1t is Brother Giles, hid
den away at Fort Totten unknown and
unrecognized in the world at large,
who does the greatest part of the
work in getting out the Catholic Sioux
periodical, the Sinasapa Wooekiye
Taeyanpaha.
A Quebec despatch of August 4th
says that on the preceding day the
Hon. c. ]. Doherty, Minister of JUS
tice, was at Quebec and had long in
terview with Cardinal Begin in the
Cardinals palace. Nothing has trans.
pired as to the subject of the inter-
view, but 1t was supposed to be the
application of the military service law
to divinity students.

Because of the war the shortage of
priests has become so trying in Europe
that priests in New York ministering
to CONGREGATIONS derived from Latin
sources, have received appeals within
the past month to recruit young meun
of their acquaintance for the priest
hood. The appeals~come particularly
from Italy, France and Ireland.
AS commonly quoted, General Sher-
mans familiar definition of war con-
sists of only three words at the end
of a declaration by him cited in a
speech of the Hon. Charles Randall OF
California in House of Representatives
on May Z. These are "the exact words
of General Sherman about war:
confess without shame that l am tired
and sick of war. Its glory is all moon
shine. Even success, the most brilli-
ant, is over dead and mangled bodies,
the anguish and lamentati0n of dis
tant families, appealing to me for
missing sons, husbands, and fathers.
1t is only those who have not heard
a shot nor heard the shrieks and
groans OF the wounded and lacerated,
that cry aloud for more blood, more
vengeance, more desolation. War is
hell"

Strong passions were reused in the
seventeenth century among those who
thought chocolate was an invention OF
the devil. 4 formidable treatise was
written In order to denounce the use
Of the beverage by monks. The trea
tise appeared In 1924. but the monks
saw to it. by destroying every copy
that came their way. that its circula-
ton was small and brief. Chocolate
houses succeeded coffee houses in Lon
don as centers OF a supposed greater
refinement. although Roger North de
scribed them as centers for the benefit
Of "rooks and cullies Of quality, where
gaming is added to all the rest" and
where plots against the state wers
hatched by idle fellows. ~ London

that any bid made under such condi
tons is "exorbitant' is utterly unfair.

We bid on the new battle-cruisers
sums which Navy department experts.
after examination Of our books, found
would yield a profit of less than ten
per cent. We agreed to assume risks
for increased costs Of materials and la
Dor. that made it possible that these
contracts might yield no profit what
ever.
The costs rnn beyond the amount ap
propriated by Congress Oh the basis of
the cost estimates made a year ago.
And because s~hipbuilders could not
alter the ~inexorahle cost facts and re
duce bids to early estimates OF the
Navy Department. the prices are called
"eNorbitant."
1t would be a real advantage to be
relieved OF this naval construction The
profit from 1t cannot possibly amount
TO much. aud the responsibility Is enol
nous.
We have determined to make this
offer to the American Government.
IF you will build two OF the battle
cruisers in Government navy yards
we will build the other two at the as
certained cost OF building the ships in
the Government yards. without addi
tional expense or commissions OF any
kind. We will also contract to have
our ships ready for service ahead OF
the Government ships"
Early Panama
The frst permanent settlement In
the new world was esta blished at Pan
anna Aug. Is. 1919. by Pedrarias. the
Spanish governor. In exploring the
Pacific cOast along the isthmus the
Spanish adventures found a small
fishing village called Panama, and on
the date given above the governor es-
tablished his capital there. Two years
later. by royal decree. Panama was
made a city and the seat OF a bishop.
Panama became the center for Span
ish explorations in North and South
America, and many expeditions were
sent out from there in search Of gold.
1t was from Panama. in 1924. that
Pizarro began the voyage which end
ed In the discovery OF Peru. After
that 4 highway was established across
the isthmus. following much the same
route as the Panama canal. and over
this the wealth Of Peru was transport
ed to the Spanish treasure ships in the
Atlantic. To this day small sections
Of paved road are to be seen as relics
Of the old Spanish highway over which

get full service from them. In the eff
fort to get in large acreages this year,
we are apt to overlook the opportunity
to save on the grains fed to our work
stock. We can not only save corn by
replacing a portion of it with cotton
seedmeal at less cost, but our stock
will do better and be better for the
substitution.
Two pounds of cottonseed meal will
displace about four pounds Of corn in
a work stock ration.
Two pounds of cottonseed meal per
head per day is as much as should be
fed This two pounds of meal will
cost about four cents and the four
pounds of corn, which it will replace,
will be worth about twelve cents;
therefore, a clear saving Of practically
eight cents per day for each horse
or mule.
A still stronger argument for such
substitution is that it will release
grain suitable for human food, when
the substituted material can not be
so used
