Tigre, one of the most popular pleas
ure resorts for the people of Buenos
Aires, was recently linked with the
capital city by the completion of the
identification of q suburban railroad.
Tigre lies on the Plata river about
twenty-seven miles above Buenos
Aires, and for some years the increas-
ing flow Of people between the city
and the pleasure grounds, or rather
boating waters, was by means of boats
and the steam railroads.. The contin-
ued increase in the popularity of IL
gre, however, necessitated better pas
senger-traffic facilities than those pre-
vailing, and Notwithstanding the dis
turbed conditions of the world, the
work Of identification of the route to
Tigre has continued with little inter-
ruption. The road belongs to the Cen
trail Argentine system.
The electric alternating current is
produced at 10000 volts at a main pow
err plant near the Tigre end of the road
and transmitted to ~substations by IN
derground cables. A third rail con-
reys the current to the trains.
The coaches are Of the multiple sys-
tenn, the unit consisting of n motor
coach having two motors and a trailer
coach. The standard train will have
two units or four coaches, but may be
increased to six units or twelve
coaches. All of the coaches have CEN

Three important Projects Now
Under Consideration.
RAPID TRANSPORTATION AIM
First Is Construction of Military Line
Connecting Punta de Toro With
Fort of San Lorenzo at
Mouth of Chagres River.

Three important railroad projects as
part of a defense scheme for. the Pan
anna canal have been under considera-
ton for some time and present condi-
tions are likely to hasten their compile
ton, says Indianapolis News. First
Of these is the building of a military
railroad connecting Punta de Toro
with the ruined fort of San Lorenzo at
the mouth Of the Chagres river. The
latter point, which figured prominently
in the history of the isthmus under
Spanish rule, commands the entrance
Of the Chagres river which admits of
easy approach by water to the Gatun
locks. AS a fortified position it would
also have to be reckoned with by any
military expedition directed at the cit
les Of Colon or Panama. The primary
object in the construction Of the road
is the rapid transportation of troops
and military equipment from Fort
Sherman to San Lorenzo in case hos
l~tilities were attempted by way of the
.Chagres. The road will be six to eight
miles long and will be of five-foot
gauge, the standard in use on the Pan
ana railroad. The road will be part
of an elaborate defense scheme and
will cost from $4,000 to 100000.
Two Other Projects.
Two other roads are projected which
are not primarily of military charac-
ter, but would be useful in case of hos
Titles. The Panama national assem-
bly, has q bill under consideration pro-
viding for the construction of a rail
road in the province of Chiriqui e8-
tending from the town of La Concep-
ton through Divala to a point in the
bay known as Charco AZul to be de-
,tcrmined on later. The line will be q
branch of the ChiriQui railroad now in
operation. It is expected to aid great
" in the industrial development of
Chiriqui, one Of the richest and most
fertile sections of the country. The
assembly is also considering the con-
struction by the United States and
Panama jointly Of a series Of railroads
and highways connecting the cities OF
Panama and Colon with points in the
interior. Such roads, it is believed,
would help the growth Of the cities as
well as the development Of the in
terror. Under the provisions of a pro-
posed bill Panama is to pay 80 per
cent Of the cost Of construction AID
the executive is authorized to treat
with the United States government
through a special mission.

equipped for the easy ingress and
egreSS of crowds.
The new electric service will not
only facilitate travel between Buenos
Aires and Tigre, but the various SUI
burban villages through which the road
passes will be equally benefited. Towns
and villages are numerous along the
route, and many business men of the
city have their homes in these subur-
ban sections. In the past the steam
railways have operated from 30 to 90
trains q day between the capital ard
Tigre, from which fact we obtain an
idea of the enormous amount of travel.
With more modern facilities, the whole
region along the electric line seems
likely to be more popular than in the
past.
Tigre is often referred to as Little
Venice" It's location at the confluence
of the Tigre and the broad La Plata,
together with the numerous islands Of
the vicinity, especially favor aquatic
sports. These the Argentine has devel-
oped on q large scale, and the various
contests in season never fail to draw
enthusiastic crowds. There are beau
tiful gardens, vine-clad cottages, fine
shade trees, and on the main shore
the splendid hotels and amusement pa
vilions offer every facility for pleasure
and entertainment.

DEATH OF EMMANUEL LOUIS
MASQUERAY.
Architect Of Pro-CathedraI, st. Paul
Cathedral and Other Church
Structures.

To have left even one such monu-
ment as that of the plan of the magni-
ficent Pro-Cathedral of Minneapolis
would constitute noteworthy achieve
ment on the part of an architect. But
to get an adequate appreciation Of the
constructive genius of Emmanuel
Louis Masqueray, who died at St. Paul
last Saturday, we must also consider
the Cathedrals at st. Paul, Winnipeg,
Dubuque, Wichita, Kan, and Sioux
Falls, S. D., as we'll as the principal
design of the St. Louis World Expo
sition. The Dormitory and Chapel
at st. Thomas College are also the
products of his labor.
Mr.. Masqueray was Sc years old
was born in France. He received his
technical training at the Easle des
Arts in Paris and came to this coun-
try twenty-five years ago. For twelve
years he has. been a resident of st.
Paul. His activities embraced wide
range of architectural studies, but the
most cherished offspring of his brain
were the ecclesiastical structures he
created. His funeral took place on
Tuesday at 9 a. m. A High Mass of
Requiem was celebrated at St. Paul's
Cathedral after which interment was
made at Calvary cemetery.

ENGLISH TRADE JEALOUSY.
Obstacles to the Ford Factory in corl

English trade jealousy is RESPONSE
BILE for the opposition to the establish
ment of the Ford Motor Factory in
Cork. OF course, this is not admitted
in so many words, and all sorts of
reasons are advanced why this factory
should not be permitted in Ireland.
The first excuse for the opposition
was that, as many English factories
are engaged on munition work, it
would be unfair to allow an American
firm to establish itself in Cork, Hnor-
ing the fact that the Cork factory has
yet to be built: Then objection was
taken to the fact that an American
would own the factory; but that cry
must be abandoned now that America
is on our side in the war. Next, the
eternal political question was dragged
in, and the "Autocar" tried to stir up
the English Labor Party against the
project on the ground that Irish labor
so employed would keep the returning
British soldiers out of work in Eng
land. 1t even suggested that Cork
should not be- allowed to have this
factory because no munitions worth
| mentioning are being made in that
city, as if Cork is to be blamed for
that. But the best plea of all is put
in by the Belfast Newsletter"
which considers it thousand pities
that the Ford Company did not see
fit to establish their new factory in
Belfast, for all these arguments would
then have been utterly irrelevant.

"That means, therefore," Bishop
Dougherty continued, that we have
every year added to the Catholic
Church at least $4,000 converts, and
it is needless to say that, as rule,
those who join the Catholic Church
first of all joint it from sincere con-
viction, and, secondly, that they are
a credit to the Church which they
join. We are proud of those to whom
God gives the gift of faith.
1T is true that, although we receive
so many converts into the Church
every year, there is also some leak
age; but it is a notorious fact that
those who leave the Catholic Church
seldom or never leave it through con-
viction, but almost in every case be-
cause of self-interest. Cardinal Glib
bons, who is man of varied expert
ence, has stated publicly that during
his long life, in which he has been
thrown in contact with SO many classes
Of people, he never yet found one who
left the Catholic Church through con-
viction of it's being false religion.
"NoW, since we annually receive in
to the Catholic Church in this coun-
try so many and such distinguished
converts, it is natural that some Or
ganization of these converts will be
and to the Catholic Church itself.
This, therefore, is the chief motive
for the foundation of this league:
First, the general benefit to the Cath
Ollie Church; second, the special bene-
fit to converts themselves"
Rev. Thomas J. O'Hern, who has
had much to do with the formation
Of the league, said that the league
was an exclusive affair for converts.
All Catholics are invited to join and
thus make the converts feel more at
home. He spoke, too, of the sacrifices
one must often make when coming
into the Church.. He told of woman
who had said to him that after becom.
ing a Catholic she would not have a
friend in the world. He also called
attention to some of the seemingly
small things that turn the thoughts
toward the true Church.
On the platform were Bishop Dough
erty, Rt. Rev. Msgr. Biden, LII. D..
Rector of Annunication church; Very
Rev. w. J.. Kirwin, o. M. l., rector OF
Holy Angels church; Rev. Thomas j
O'Hern of the Buffalo Apostolate, and
Charles B. Thomas, president of the
league, who acted as chairman. The
League is associated with other sim
liar leagues in various cities.

NATIONAL UNION OF CATHOLIC
b YOUNG MEN.
Initial Step Taken at Meeting In
CHICAGO.

Initial Step Taken at Meeting In
Chicago.
The initial step towards the forma-
ton of great National Union of all
the Catholic Young Mems societies in
this country was taken, when the rep
resentatives of the Young Mems in
stitute,. and the Catholic Young Mems
National Union, the Gonzaga Union
Of the Central Verein and the Young
Mems, sodalities met at the Loyola
Law school, Chicago, a few days ago.
The following representatives were
present.: Rev. e. F. Garesche, S. j.,
: st. Louis; Rev. Maurice ,OConnor, In
dianapolis; Rev. William A. Murphy,
Chicago; Rev. A. D. Saliok, Milwau-
kee; Michael J. Slattery, Philadelphia;
Robert T. Burke, Louisville; James H.
Zipf, st. Louis; Anthony Schwamm,
Los Angeles.
A discussion of the aims and OBJ
jects of these associations brought out
the fact that in nearly every case the
same ideals were fostered and could
be accomplished by a combination of
forces, and at the same time, by united
effort, provide for our Catholic young
men the same material advantages
which are offered by organizations out.
side the church to attract young men
of all faiths.
Civic centers in all large cities
where, besides the advantages of ath.
letic exercise, reading rooms and night
schools will be established, and home
for those who must live in boarding
houses will also be part of the insti
tuition. 1t will also provide for the
stranger who comes to the city for the
first time and enable him to be sur.
rounded with Catholic influences.
The merging of the various unions
into one national body is the first step
in the realization of this great pro-
ject. All the representatives present
stated it to be their belief that this
could be accomplished without any
great difficulty. Meetings of the vari.
GUS organizations will be held shortly
to take definite action.
With this merger accomplished, the
next step will be the Harvesting OF
the various forces in the cities, with
view of forming compact organiza-
ton to carry out the civic center idea
H. No effort will be made to destroy
the parish club; on the contrary,
everything will be done to strengthen
it. TO derive advantages of the civic
center one must be identified with
some parish club. One works for the
success of the other.
Another meeting of the executive
heads will be held in June in st. Louis
to hear reports of the various unions
on the tentative plans agreed upon at
the Chicago meeting. The name OF
the new union, tentatively agreed up
on, will be the Catholic Young Mems
association.

NO LIQUOR TO soLDlERs-UNpER
NEW LAW.

NEW LAW
The strict anti-liquor provision of
the army act, signed by the President
last week, makes anyone who sells a
drink to a soldier in uniform liable to
a year in jail and $1,000 fine. It is
pointed out that the prohibition on
selling drinks to soldiers in uniform
applies everywhere in the United
States.
While this law applies only to tho
army, Secretary Daniels has addressed
a letter to Speaker Clark urging that
legislation prohibiting the sale of in
toxicating beverages to soldiers, incor-
porated in the Army bill, be extended
to cover the Navy. With 100000 young
recruits under training in the navy,
and more to be secured, Mr.. Daniels
said, the same safeguards are urgent
ly necessary for them that Congress
has provided for young soldiers.
A draft of bill submitted by the
Secretary would authorize the Presi-
dent to make such regulations as he
deems necessary governing or pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor near places
under the jurisdiction of the Navy or
to naval officers or men, and would
prohibit absolutely the sale or giving
away of beverage liquor within the
bounds Of any station or place used
for naval purposes.
