contagious illnesses. At Nazymager.
between 10000 and 10000 succumbed
from the same causes, while at LSFi-
nesgruene, in Bohemia, there only
remain a few thousand survivors who
are suffering from tuberculosis.
The largest number of prisoner.k
interned at Cachack, exceed 10000
and form the center of the Labor sup
ply for the Italian front. Every fort
night a special train brings back
from the Italian front exhausted OF
wounded Serbian laborers and returns
with fresh Contingents. In the course
of the last six months over 10000
Serbians died in this locality alone
"When taken from fatigue dut!
the men rush like famished beasts to
the refuse heaps and ravenously setgH
bones and other scraps of food with
which to satisfy their hunger. The
unfortunate prisoners are friRhtfully
emGciated from prolonged famine, are
clad in rags and wander about like
ghosts"

The Knights of Columbus have
been designated by the war depart
ment as the official agency for look
ing after the moral and social vel
fare of the Catholic men of the army
and navy. This has placed upon the
order a great responsibility.
The selection of the Knights of Co.
lumbus as the official agency of
Catholic service in the army and navy
is a direct result of the efficient
work done for the soldiers on the
Mexican border. In selecting the
knights of Columbus for this work
the war department places the great
Catholic fraternal order and the Y
NJ. {. A. on the same basis.
The supreme council of the Knights
Of Columbus has inaugurated this
" koron a generous scale. At a re-
cent meeting of the council it was
decided to raise at once the sum Of
S1,000.000 to carry on the work This
sum will be raised mainly within the
order
The letter to the local council from
Supreme Knight James A. Flaherty
goes into detail regarding this great
work. The following paragraphs
we're taken from this letter:
Eve did something for the spirit

8, and Injure 25.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, July 22.-Another day
light raid carried out over the east
ern coast of England this morning
resulted in the repulse of about
twenty German airplanes after they
had dropped bombs over Felixstowe
and Harwich, killing eight and in
juring twenty-five.
Alarms were sounded here, but
before the enemy reached any point
near the city they were attacked
heavily by defending squadrons of
aircraft, which caused their speedy
retreat. SO far no Germans were
reported brought down.
An official statement says heavy
fire from anti-aircraft guns caused
the enemy's formation to split up,
part returning over seas, a part
proceeding south, down the Essex
coast.
The latter party was heavily en-
gagged by gun fire all the way down
the coast, but finally proceeded home
ward without dropping any more
bombs. The raiders were pursued out
to sea, the statement adds, and
heavily engaged by BritOns.
