LETTER TO THE EDITOR
CATHOLIC SOLDIERS AT CAMP
DODGE.
K. of C. Building, Camp Dodge, Ia,
i October 9, 1917.


October 9, 1917.
To the Editor:
AS post chaplain of the K. of C.
Building, at Camp Dodge, Iowa, am
privileged to inform your many read
ers interested in the work at the
camp of the progress being made I'M
der the auspices of the Knights of
Columbus
The Main building, situated at the
corner of Depot Street and Main Ave
nue., which, by the way, is an ideal To-
cation, will be completely finished at
the end of this week. Last Sunday
services were held there, the Chap
lain being assisted by the Rev. M. J.
O'Connor, st. Johns Church, Des
Molnes. About three thousand SOL
diers attended Mass, and seventy re-
ceived Holy Communion.
Last Monday Lieut. Father Hig-
gins, of Peoria, ILL.,, regular army chap
lain, was assigned to duty. He stands
ready to cooperate with the work in
every way possible, compatible with
military rules.
Manifest interest is being shown
by the boys in the work On all sides
inquiries are being made, questions
are being asked in regard to serv-
ices. The magnitude of the task un-
dertaken through the agency of the
knights of Columbus is becoming
more apparent every day. Catholic
cooperation on all sides is necessi-
ty as the work is Catholic in every
sense of the word. Our government
has recognized this work, and placed
its seal of appreciation on the spiritual
and moral aspect. This week the Iowa
State Council of the Knights of Co
lumbus has inaugurated campaign
for funds to carry out the work. From
personal observations during the past
week, and especially of last Sunday,
we recommend most heartily to the
consideration of our Catholic people
this widespread movement to obtain
funds for the cause. The spiritual and
moral welfare of every Catholic boy
at the camp is at stake. We cordial
ly invite your earnest and hearty CO.
operation.
We would suggest that your read
ers send us from time to time maya
zines, books, ETC., Catholic and other
wise. The undersigned solicits glad
ly and willingly correspondence from
all who have relatives and friends at
the camp. 1t will be our endeavor to
| communicate weekly the work being
accomplished and the progress made.
Fraternally yours,
| PATRICK n. McDERMOTT,
Post Chaplain.

Aftermath

Yes-he is gone-there is the mes
sage-see!
My sonny eldest son. So be it,
God!
This is no time for tears-no time to
mourn. In the years to come,
When we have done our work, and
Gods own peace
With tranquil glory floods troubled
world,
Why, then, perhaps, in the old hall at
home,
Our eyes, my wife, shall meet and
CLEAN, and mark,
Niched on the walls in sanctity of
pride,
Halls sword, Dicks medal, and the
cross he won,
Yet never wore. That is the time for
tears;
Drawn from we'll of love deer
down-deep down;
Deep as the mystery of immortal
souls.
That is the time for tears-not now!
Not now!

MEAT ON FRIDAY
WHERE FRIDAY A TINEN G
DOES NOT BIND CATHOLICS
PRIVILEGE DATES FROM TIME
OF SPANISH cRUSADEs.

We have learned in our catechism.
writes Rev. Adolf Frenzy, that Catho-
lies are obliged, under pain of mortal
sin, to abstain from eating fiesh-meat
every Friday in the year Since the
Americans in the East rightly con-
slider it a mortal sin to eat meat on
Friday, most of our people, coming
to the West, follow this custom. Yet,
in spite of the distinct teaching of the
Baltimore Council, and the praise
worthy practice of the American peo-
pie, our Mexican fellow citizens do
not abstain from fesh-meat on Fri
days.
During the early Middle Ages the
Saracens occupied the greater part of
the peninsula of the Pyrenees, and
the Christian population was forced to
retire to the high mountains in the
northern part of that country. Final
ly, however, those Christians, who had
taken refuge in the mountains of the
Pyrenees, of Cantabola, Austria, and
Galicia, not only bested their enemies,
but also succeeded in gradually re-
capturing the lost provinces.
1t was a fight of centuries, as the
Saracens defended every step with
desperation. In order to encourage
the Christians in their crusade
against the Saracens," the Popes
granted to the Christians of Spain a
| number Of indulgences and privileges.
The first of these crusade-bulls, which
concerned Spain, was that of Urban
II to the Counts Berengueo Ramon de
Barcelona and Armengal de Beslau
in 1889, at the time of the reconquest
| to Alfonso | of Aragon, when he un.
dertook to reconquer Saragossa in
Ills. Clement Nv in 1925 issued a
general bull for the whole of Spain
when the kings of Aragon and Cas-
tile joined in the expedition against
Nurcia. In the course of time these
pontif1cal concessions became more
frequent; In the reign of the Catholic
kings alone they were granted in
/ 1478, 1479, 1881, 1882, 1885, 1494, 1903
and 1906, and were continued during
the following reigns. That granted BY
Gregory XIII in 1873 was renewed by
his successors.
AS the privilege of the crusade bull
was granted not only to Spain but tc
the Spanish dominions, all those
countries, which once belonged to the
Spanish crown, and were colonizet
and populated by Spaniards, enjoyed
the very same privilege as the mother
country The people of the Spanish
/ territory made use of these favors
i granted to them by the Holy See, AMI
as the latter never revoked it off
cially, this privilege exists to the pres
i ent day. Thus it is that the Mexican
| people are permitted to eat flesh mea
on every Friday during the year Eek
Il cept Lent. The Americans, too. VIII,
happen to be in that part of the coun
try once occupied by Spanish popu
lation, are allowed to make use of thi
privilege. Thus, the inhabitant
americans as we'll as Mexicans) o
Colorado (part only, New Mexico
Arizona formerly belonging to tn,
diocese of Durango. Mexico) and thos,
Of some other parts Of the Unite,
States are allowed to eat flesh-mea
on Fridays, except In Lent.

ISOUTHPAWS SCARCE
| in MAJOR LEAGUES
Good Lefthanders Are Few and Far
Between Under Big Tent.

New York, April 22.-Southpaw hurlers
who can deliver the goods are a mighty
scarce article in the major leagues these
days, for the percentage OF the left
handed crop which makes good In fast
company is small.
Yet the fork-handers who have class
are SO good that they have no trouble
monopolizing the upper ten among pitch
ers OF the two majors In effectiveness.
Every major league club with the ex-
ception of the Athletics will carry at
least one crack southpaw this year, and
six clubs will depend largely on the boys
with the freak delivery to carry them
through. In the American League the
Browns. White Sox and Yankees are
strong in left-handers. Each club has
three hurlers who toss from the port
side Plank, Koob and Weilman. of the
Browns and Cullop, Love, and Mogridge
are all dependable slabbers. The White
sox are banking on Russell, Williams
and Danforth.
Benton, Sallee and Schupp, OF the
Giants, make up a trio of port-siders
who are hard to match anywhere. and
the Braves have a crack set OF south
paw wingers in Tyler, Allen and Nehf.
Smith, Marquard and Mails. of the Dod-
gers, all toss from the south side OF the
pitchers box.
Results obtained by the port-siders are
more deadly to batting. as the records
show. gE 1916 five left-handers ranked
among the FIRST ten pitchers in the Amer
lean League for effectiveness. They
were Ruth. Coveleskie, Coumbe, Cullop
and weilman.
In the National League seven of the
drst ten pitchers, as they were ranked
for effectiveness, were left-handers.
Ferdie >schupp. the youthful phenom OF
the Giants, was numbered among them.
though he pitched in only few games.
Rube Marquard, Eppa Rixey, Claude
Cooper, and Nehf, Tyler and Allen, of
the Braves, completed the sextet.
In all there were thirty-fve southpaws
who worked regularly for the sixteen
big league clubs last season. and when
one recalls that there were more than
Is pitchers all told, the southpaws are
very much in the minority.
Chief among the portside beavers who
will endeavor to fool the batters this
year are thirty-six pitchers, as follows:
st. Louis Browns-Piank. Koob, and
weilman.
New York Yankees-CuIlop. Mogridge,

Chicago White sox-Russell. Williams,

silent HOWARD TO
BATTLE Kid SHELLER
Maryland Club to Stage Fight Between
Middle-weishts April 80.

The fight game will once more be revived
for Washington followers of the roped
arena President James La Fontaine, of
/ the Maryland Athletic and Social Club
of Ardmore, Nd, last night closed out
arrangements for a ffteen-round battle
middle-weight. and Kid Shelter. the
Fredrick slugger.
These battlers will meet at the Mary
land club on Monday, April 30, and to say
that the bout should prove interesting
would be putting 1t mildly, as each of
them as a favorable record and should
make things hum from gong to gong.
Howard is well known to the local
followers of the puglistic game as he
has fought before the local club on a
number Of occasions, while Kid Shelter
has won over Mike Uraine, the we'll
know local middle-weight, and is rated
among the best in his class in the South.
President La Fontaine has been trying
to arrange this match for the past fivs
weeks. but 1t was only yesterday that he
received the signed contracts of both
battlers.
Arrangements are now being made to
match Jimmy Conroy, the local feather
weight, with Joe Cheny, the fast Balti-
more youngster. in the semi-wind-up,
while Kid Ahearn, who established quite
a reputation as a real mixer while with
the National Guard on the border, is
matched to meet Otto Brown in the
preliminary.
A battle royal under the direction of
Harry Hoffman will open the card. The
main bout should prove to be one of the
best attractions ever carded at the
Ardmore arena. as both boys are COM
ing fast in the middle-weight division
and each Is looking for a victory to
shove him near the top rung of the
ladder
