CONVOY
PLAN IS
SUCCESS
By ellison Gardner

WASHINGTON, May 20. -
Partial answer to the U-boat is
the plan recently undertaken by
oar British allies for conveying
ships in the danger zone. This
practice has already cut losses.
Ships arriving from America
and other ports assemble at some
point designated before they
reach the U-boat danger zone and
are met by a large fleet of fast
dostroyers and patrol boats.
Also there Is a mother ship
from which aeroplanes are
launched.
These go ahead and scout for
subs.
April figures on tonnage lost
by German U-boat operations were
alarming In that month the
"subs" got twice as much ton
mage as in the month before.
Chairman Denman of the ship
ping board Says:
IF the world produces all the
steel ships it can now build or can
be bnilt 1t in the next Is months,
and in addition 81 the woolen
ships which can be built in that
time, it will not equal one-half
the rate of destruction established
by German submarines in April. ="

pose. The words draft" and

A.-NO one shall register before
June 3 unless he knows that he

Q.-Does an unnaturaliZed

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Ony
married men who have persons
dependent solely upon them for
support will gain any considera-
tion in exemption from military
service.
However, Secretary Baker said
today the department hopes to
exempt as many married men as
possible
An official announcement from
the department today set at rest
the general belief that every mar
ried man would be excluded from
the first levy.
An estimate from the census
bureau revealed the fact that al
most one-half of the men avail
able for draft under the law are
married.

A man must have this card with
him at all times, for he may be
stopped at any time or place by a

vent any of the salary increase:
demanded this year by city EN-.
Iployes.
The joker. discovered on the
eve of the laws taking effect next
week, provides that the local au-
thorities of any city in the state
have no authority to pass or en-
force any ordinances, rules or reg
ulations governing the speed OF
any motor vehicles.
All Fines Go to State.
1t means that only the state
speed law shall apply to motor
vehicles inside city limits.
And this law provides that all
fines and bail money derived from
speeding offenses shall be turned
into the permanent highway fund
In a nutshell, the joker permits
cities to maintain speed officers
If they wish, but all the money
brought into court by these Off
GERS shall go into a state road
fund, instead of into the city
treasury.
Chief of Police Harry NJ. Smith
declared Tuesday, after learning
of the joker, that he would re-
move his motorcycle men from
traffic duty rather than pay them
salaries to enforce state laws,
with the state reaping the harv-
est.
Judge Wrathy.
There will be no limit to the
speed in Tacoma after next week,
II Chief Smith removes his men,
because the state is in no position
to put speed cops on duty here.
Police Judge Graham was in
dignant over the Joker"
ut is one of the most iniqrit-
Gus pieces of legislation / nave

"And 1 understand that
the allied automobile clubs
of the state are responsible
for it. They lobbied for this

Joker i'm at the last minute.
IL means that we will have
unlimited speed, killings,
maimings and terrible acct
dents on our city streets.
Judge Graham suggested Tues
day that persons driving over 20
miles an hour in Tacoma could
be charged with reckless driv-
ing" and thus punished under a
city ordinance, but City Attorney
Harmon and his assistant, Frank
Carnahan, both announced that
the new law could not be evaded
in such manner.

law now takes all speed revenue
away from the city. That's plain.
But it certainly was not explained
to me that way, when the bill was
before the house.

CATHOLICS TO BACK UP
 K. OF c. WAR WORK
Special Collection for This Object is
 Announced for Next Sunday.

Preaching at the high mass in St. Patrick's church Sunday from the days gospel as read in all the masses, Matthew ix, 1926, narrating the mir. acleS of the raising from the dead Of tEe rulers daughter and the healing of the women having an issue of blood. Rev. Myles P. Calvin consid- cred these as among the many in stances of the Saviour's love and com passion during His earthly life and ministry. Not only was Our Lord tender toward and compassionate with those who sought His help then, but need that same help during the ages | to come, and provided that aid and compassion and heartening by leaV- ing men His Body in the Holy Flu charist, as daily food for their souls. On countless altars Our Divine Lord remains under the sacramental Veils of the Eucharist, to show compassion to those weary from life's burdens, to l the grief stricken, to the repentant sinner Since this is so. as all Cath oiics believe, and the Consecrated Host is really the Body of Christ, ac- cording to His own promise, the preacher said frequent, even daily communion should be the practice of all, bringing men nearer to this Com passionate Friend. Who only requires love in return for all His gifts and benefits to man.
 Father Calvin stated that with the permission of Rt. Rev. John J. Nj Ian, bishop of the diocese there is to be special collection next Sunday in aid of the war work begun so patri- otically> by the Knights of Columbus. When this great work was first de- cided upon, the national body of the Knights themselves contributed at
 once about $S00.0o0. It has been de- cided that the sum of s3.060.O 900 will
 be needed to carry on the projected work which includes not only pro-
 Viding recreation centers in the Vari-
 ous federal camps but meeting the
 spiritual needs Of the men in service by supplying chaplains at camps
 where the government can not or does
 not appoint chapIains.
 This is a matter which concerns
 every Catholic. since every family is
 represented in some way in the na-
 tion's forces. through relatives, etc.
 The contribution for such wori.
 should be d manifestation of both pa
 triotism and religious zeal. indicating
 to the boys in camp or at the front
 that they are not forgotten. At the
 same time, the generosity of such an
 offering will greatly aid the Knights
 Of Columbus, who certainly should not
 be expected to assume the. entire bur-
 den of such a gigantic talk.
 Personally, Father >Galvin said, he
 hoped that next Sundays offering
 would prove the largest ever made in
 St. Patricks church. The days news
 tells of the canture of American sol
 diers and is proof that America is
 actually in the war. We who are at
 the men representing the nation may
 be made as happy and as comfortable,
 from social and spiritual standpoint,
 as it is possible for them to be.
