Catholic Military Bishop.-There is
talk OF the creation of an English
Military Bishop to look after the Cath
Ollie chaplains of the army and navy
during the present struggle. 1t Is un-
derstood that the government has
asked Tor such a pre1ate, and sug-
gested Mgr. Heating, who has already
been promoted to the rank OF gen
efal, as q suitable occupant OF the
new post. The matter is now before
Rome. That the clergy are ready to
do everything in their power is shown
by the work they are already accom-
phshlng IN emergencies. Thus, In the
recent Eastend munition factory ex-
ploslon, the local priests fed, sheltered
and clothed two hundred Catholic VIC
inns, ana one parish priest took the
children from tired mothers who were
shelterlng in hall, and gave the little
ones a meal while the exhausted
women slept. At the huge hospital
for disabled soldiers at northampton
some young Jesuits from the neigh
boring Manresa House attend every
| day to do some of the mental work
| for the wounded.

accompanied by an escort of blue
jackets, wendell it's way to the little
Catholic Church of st. Thomas, Full

fields surrounding London. Admiral
Kane came of an Irish family whose
seat is at Glandree, County Clare.
He was the hero of the Calliope cpl
sode. when he kept his ship afloat
during terrific hurricane off Samoa,

Dor OF Apia was destroyed, including
four men-of-war. He managed to get
out Of the harbor, and rode the storm
all day, with full steam. making only
one knot, but saving his ship.

HALF OF U-B0ATS SUNK
SIR ERIC eEppEs eAREs LOSSES
OF GERMAN SHIPS.
First Lord Of Admiralty Says kaiscr's
Tonnage Has Been Reduced
40 to so Per Cent.

London, Nov. 2.-Sir Eric Geddes,
who recently succeeded Sir Edward
Carson as first lord of the admiralty,
made his first address in Parliament
and gave some interesting and anx-
iously.awsited figures on the work OF
the navy and shipping in general. His
declaration that between forty and
fifty per cent of the German subma-
rines operating in the North Sea, the
Atlantic and the Arctic oceans had
been sunk was not the least interest
ing of his announcements and there
was an indication of the unceasing
war the British and American patrols
are making on the submarine in his
statement that during the last quarter
the enemy had lost as many subma-
rines as during the whole Of 1916.
The first lord, speaking Of his de-
partment. said that. In addition to an
increase in the personnel. the services
OF younger officers had been requisi-
toned to add strength to the expert
ence of the older officers on the naval
staff.

Premier kerensky Makes Strong Plea
for Supplies and Cash from
United States.

Petrograd, Nov. SIN view Of re-
ports reaching Petrograd that the i'm
preston was spreading abroad that
Russia was virtually out of the war,
Premier Kerensky discussed the pres
ent condition of the country frankly
with the Associated Press. He said
Russia was worn out by the long strain
but that 1t was ridiculous to say the
country was out of the war.
The premier referred to the years
In which Russia had fought her own
campaigns. alone. with no such assist
ance as has been extended to France
by Great Britain and now by America.
He said he felt help was needed urg-
emily and that Russia asked 1t as her
right.
He urged that the United States
give aid In the form OF money and sup
plies and appealed to the world not to
lose faith in the Russian revolution.
Russia, M. Kerensky added. was
taking an enormous part in the strug-
gle and those who said she was out OF
1t must have short memories.
Russia has fought consistently
from the beginning. She saved France
and England from disaster early In the
war. She is now worn out BY the
strain and claims as her right that the
allies now shoulder the burden"
Thus Premier Kerensky explained
Russia's position to the correspond
ent. The premier was seated in the
library of the former private office Of
the emperor in the winter palace. The
correspondent called attention to
widely contradictory reports on Rus
sia's conditions and asked the premier
for . frank statement. of the facts.

THE MAIN BODY.

Washington, Nov 5.-Armed forces
under the American flag have had
their first clash with German soldiers
on first line trenches where the Unit
ed States troops had been taken for
instruction, and three Americans were
killed, five wounded and twelve cap
tured or missing.
The War Department made this
known on receipt of dispatch from
Gen. Pershing showing that the Ger
man forces. soon after learning the
position OF the new enemy from over
seas, had launched desperate effort
to overcome them.
The Teuton attack came In the form
of heavy barrage fire which isolated
a salient OF the American trench, and
apparently left a small force of Ameri-
cans at the mercy Of their enemies.
That the American soldiers fought
gamely is shown by Pershing's report
of a prisoner being taken by them.
How some of his troops escaped, bring
ing this German back with them, is
not told in the brief dispatch.
Berlin.-Outside the brief reference
in the general staff report. no details
are available here with regard to the
capture OF the First American troops
in France. The official bulletin says
they were made prisoner In the region
Of the Aisne-Marne canal in the Sec
ton of the front defended by the Ger
