 Report On Militia.
 A number of reports of State of iicials are being called for by the ap- propriations committees, as the regu- lar reports all arc down in the office of the governor. Of especial interest is the report of Adjutant General Har- ris, giving hitherto unpublished fig ures relative to the cost of Arizona's military establishment:
 For the fiscal years l9l7-1S appro- priation is asked of S54, 500, though it is stated that all save S5,0O0 is GOV cred by the authorization of the State military code. The $5,OOO is wanted for cqualizing the pay of the Arizona troops on the border. Some of them drew the full Statc-national pay of Sl50 day longer than did others, owing to the slowness with which the muster-in was done.
 The fiscal year l9l5-l6 was an ex- tremely expensive one for Arizona in a military way. For instance, what ever the national guard did in the Clifton Morenci strike cost the tax payers nearly S47,OOO, divided in this wise: Supplies and rations, $l3,o12; payrolls, S2S,8l3; transportation, S5,- l77. The Mexican situation cost the State about S21,0O0 in State pay of troops till mustcr-in dates and in re- cruiting expense. In all, the lel6 bill for military maintenance was $97, ,o03.
 An accompanying report to the chief of the bureau of military affairs shows that Arizona supplied 1,056 men to the infantry regiment still at Naco, on the border. Up to last No vember, the total losses were l93, be- side 70 who cannot be found on the rolls or who were refused for disabil- Ity. The deserters aggregated 56. The regiment, now down to about 650 men, is being held indefinitely, to- gether with all other border States troops, and there is no hope of early return home for the men.

July Is, 1917.
MY dear Mr.. DAILY:
Il most earnestly wish all success
to the movement started by the
Knights of Columbus to raise a spe-
cial war fund for additional Catholic
Chaplains in the Army and Navy, and
additional recreation centers open to
all soldiers and sailors without regard
to their religious creed.
Il cordially agree with you that
there is an urgent need for additional
Chaplains, both Catholic and Protes-
movement, Catholics are willing to
pay for additional Chaplains them
selves, | do not see what objection
there can bet being, of course, I'M
derstood that they are to be under the
regular army discipline like everyone
else. / am sure that when those regu-
larly appointed and those supported
by private subscription are all includ-
ed, there will still not be the slightest
likelihood of having superfiuity Of
them.
Moreover, / wish most heartily to
congratulate the Knights of Columbus
and the whole American public upon
their action in thus lining solidly be-
hind the United States Army and
Navy. If | had been allowed to raise
the Division of Volunteers which Con
gress authorized me to raise, and had
been given brigade as | requested
l should have appointed as Head,
! quarters Chaplain, Monseigneur Vat,
| man, retired Chaplain of the regular
| Army and member of your Church
He is by birth German, but he is
as straight an American and as gooG
a citizen as is to be found in this
| country. / know personally of the ad
mirable work done by various Catholic
| Chaplains last year or the Mexican
border. including my friend Father
| Joyce, of the regular Army. / am alb
solutely certain that over in Europe
the Catholic Chaplains will do tn,
same kind of admirable work tha
| they have done in Mexico. One of thu
two or. three greatest and most heroic
figures of this war, is that of the grea
Catholic ecclesiastic, Cardinal Mer
cier of Belgium.
L believe that your campaign will
do much to dispel the prevalent indif
ference and failure to understand the
war, and will help prepare our PEG
pie for the performance of the gravt
task that now confronts the United
States.
with all good wishes,

parertfy high purpose of the presi-
dent, nor with the historic program
of this nation, any attempt to con-
solidate or finance a government
cynically frank in the declaration of
it's purpose to exterminate the for
eign investor, the agricultural land
owners and the Christian church of
all denominations. And yet the
United States clearly seems to in
dorse and make holder the cynical
ly frank religious persecution of
Carranza, when it keeps an ambas-
sador at Mexico!
Another Docletian.
However that be, here is the faith
full translation of the communication
of The Revista Catolica, written in
the name of the $4,000 Catholics of
the Campeche diocese:
''All the parish churches of the
country remain closed, up to this
day-July 20, 1917-ever since Sep
TENDER %, 1914, the day they were
profaned and inventoried by order
of the so-called governor of Cam
peche, Joachim Mucel, who has just
recently reelected himself, against
the will of the people, as governor
of this unfortunate state. After our
Bishop was exiled with all his clergy,
only one priest was allowed to en-
ter, and later only three more; SO
that in the whole state of Cam
peche $4,000 Catholics there were
only four priests up to the begin
ming of June, and now we learn that
this same governor has expelled one
of these, who all alone had charge
of the greater part of the territory of
Ouintana-Roo, which also belongs to
this diocese. Hence those poor PEG,
pie are without any spiritual assist
ance, as is the case for the inhabitants
of Campeche state, there being only
one exception, the city and island of
Carmen, where reside the only three
priests that remain.
81 would have much to say about
the new ill treatments and profana-
tions and sacrileges which are COM
mitted every day. May it suffice to
state that recently the governor was
respectfully petitioned to allow some
of the priests who are out of the do
cese to return and take care of the
parishes in the country deprived OF
their pastors; the only answer made
bv the governor was that he would
not allow the return of any priest
either native or foreigner AS this
| situation will probably prolong itself
indefinitely, to the greater detriment
of the souls, take the liberty to en-
treat you and the Catholic press OF
the United States, now that we can
not do anything else, to protest
against such unjust arbitrariness anc
| let some priests return. What Joa
| chin Mucel has done and is doing
| has not received due publicity, ant
this has given him more weapons
| to do all the mischief possible, which
| will be for a long time without rem
edy. Yours very sincerely, all il
| tears,

Holy Childhood Association
SUCCESSFUL WORK DONE BY
THIS SOCIETY FOR THE VEL
FARE OF HEATHEN CHILDREN.

The national Office of the Holy
Childhood at Pittsburgh, Pa, under
the direction of Rev. Edw. ]. Knaebel,
reports that the general bureau of the
Association at Paris has distributed
it's receipts for 1916, amounting to
$311,778, among 279 missions in
various parts of Asia, Africa, Oceanica
and America. Our own Indian schools
were allotted $1,625. The funds of the
Holy Childhood, which are collected
principally from the Catholic children
the world over, are exclusively used
for the rescue and maintenance of
abandoned heather children.
Available reports from 210 missions
supported by the Holy Childhood show
that during the year 1916, 363,385
heather children were baptized; $780,
067 waits rescued from paganism
were maintained and educated in
1,181 nurseries and 10,768 schools.
Besides, the Association has conducted
1927 workshops for training boys who
have finished the elementary schools
in useful trades.
This grand achievement alone
should commend. the cause of the
Holy Childhood to all who have at
heart the salvation of souls and the
spread of Christ's Kingdom on earth.
This organization is the only Chill
| dren's Foreign Mission Society
economically approved by the Holy See
for the redemption of heather chill

DEVOTION TO THE SACRED
HEART-GREAT AWAKENING OF
RELIGIOUS FERvoR AND CON.
DUCT.

An interesting report has been
drawn up by Dom Gimelli, for pres
entation to the Pope, regarding the
promotion of devotion to the Sacred
Heart in the Italian army and navy.
Begun in June, 1915, by the tltular
Bishop of Tyrol, Mgr. Venturnini, who
is head of the military chaplains, the
work has already enrolled two mil
lion soldiers and sailors. 1t began
by the individual conservation OF sol
diers, who promised to frequent the
sacraments, and have their homes and
families consecrated on their return.
The feast of the Sacred Heart, June,
1916, was so successful, that it Gre
ated an enthusiasm, which led the
chaplains to apply to the army CHIEFS
for permission for a general consecra-
ton Of regiments.
This took place on the first Friday
of the present year; the bersaglieri,
the grenadiers, the artillery and the
services behind the lines, such as
