vention of the Ladies' Catholic Benev.
| olent Association during the morning

for quite a while. The resolution was
given to a committee.

soldiers, the following letter of the
Most Reverend Archbishop was read
in all the churches of st. Paul last
Sunday:
st. Paul, July 27, 1917.
Rev. dear Father: ~
Please, on next Sunday, make from
your pulpit the announcement of the
Campaign to be worked out in St. Paul
during the coming week, by the
Knights of Columbus, for financial help
in their work towards providing in an
effective manner for the moral, social
and religious welfare of Catholic sol
diers of the Army and the Navy. The
work, which the Knights of Columbus
have imposed upon themselves, is one
of high patriotism and earnest charity
1t should meet with readiest co-opera
tion from the whole Catholic body in
the United States. The Catholics Of
st. Paul will, no doubt, deem it a mat
ter of pride to be among its most gen
erous supporters.
Among the activities of the knights
of Columbus, we note with very spe
cial satisfaction what they are doint
at our own doors, at the neighborins
military post Of Fort Smelling. Their,

to The Holy See

M. Brunesky, who was appointed
minister to the Holy See by the, new
Russian government, but who did not
go to Rome, has been recalled" and
M. Lysovovsky has been appointed in
his place. Already the Holy See has
accepted him. Satisfaction is felt in
Rome at the dispositions of the new
government towards Catholics, and
hope is entertained that there will be
full liberty of conscience and of re
ligious practice in that country.

A notable event IN the history OF
St. Mary's Church in this city was
commemorated last Sunday, July 80
On that day this sacred edifice round

nursery of religion in lower town. 1t

Church On Sunday, July %, 1867. and
during these fifty years it's portals

pers. 1t saw the embryonic city grow
to maturity; it witnessed the expan-
sion of the then frontier town to met
ropolitan proportions; it watched the
growth and development of the Indian
trading post to it's present position
of commercial supremacy in the North
west. The children and the grand
children of the pioneer Catholics who,
under the inspiration and guidance of
the first, pastor, Monsignor Caillet,
gave of their meagre earnings to
erect and furnish it, have worshipped
before it's altar and received the min
istrations of religion within it's walls.
The march of progress has left it un-
scathed up to the present; but it can
not much longer withstand the en-
croachments of commercialism. In a
few years at most the site which it
occupies will be given over to other
purposes and this landmark of early
days will be naught but memory.

should not be allowed to pass unnotic-

erhood OF Railway Trainmen and
Order of Railway Conductors, are ex-
pected to formulate demands for i'm
mediate wage increases of from 20 to
25 per cent, affecting practically ev-
cry railroad in the country.
This became known today following
the decision of representatives of 2700
union switchmen, employed on 10 rail-
roads entering Chicago to demand a
minimum wage of IS day, with pro-
portionate additions for foremen and
night workers.
Should this increase be granted 1000

WAR PREPARATION
BY Spring America Will
Have Biggest Air Fleet
in World-Another Half
Million Men to Be Called
to the Colors.

Washington, Oct 27.-America's war
preparations are driving ahead while
bond campaigns, censorship and tho
congressional recess temporarily OBJ
scure the country's fighting plans.
million men under arms in the
United States. a sizeable well drilled
army in France; an Atlantic fleet twice
as strong as ever before and the coun-
try's industries rapidly mobilizing sole
ly for war is a summary of present war
strength.
Compared to the big land forces
locked in battles in Europe, Americas =
army is still puny. But the country's
war program is just getting under way
and it's first six and one half months
shows greater progress than any other
nation ever made in the same period.
GREAT AIR FLEET.
How many eagles the army is
training in "a aviation schools the war
department is not telling. But when
spring comes around the United States
will have the biggest aviation division
Of any belligerent.
Before next spring. another half mil
lion men will be called to the colors by
draft, preparations for which are al
ready under way at the department.
How fast money is being spent may
be judged from the fact that the bill
lions to be floated in the second liberty
loan will last only until Jan. /, when a
third loan may be floated.
BILLION INTO SHIPS.
A billion dollars is going into mer-
chant ships to overcome submarine
frlghtfulness and 100000 men will be
working on this war measure before
the country's resources are touched.
While European countries have
mobilized many times more men in the
trenches they cannot compare with the
United States in resources at this stage
of the war. This nations fighting
strength is increasing tremendously
while they are already at or near their
zenith.
This increase has been 10-fold in
army personnel. The $4,000 officers
today alone almost equal the number
of men in the United States army be-
fore the war.
In twenty training camps the navy
Is drilling 10000 men to man its bat

have placed every available fighting
ship in condition while scores OF new
destroyers and other types are being
rushed to completion and shipbuilding

(United Press Staff Correspondent
With the French Armies In the Field,
Oct 27.-When General Petain rock
ed the German line with his uppercut
to the jaw on tho Chemin des danes,
the German command had to rake the
whole western front to assemble re-
Inducements and bolster UP the tot
tering sector.
A census of prisoners today reyeal-
ed that these reinforcements were COL
lected not in units of divisions but in
small military fragments as companies
and battalions. And those companies
and battalions were identified as of
regiments widely scattered along the
whole western line Plainly the Ger
man high command. with its reserve
forces waning fast, was compelled
hurriedly to grab occasional units from
everywhere to create a prop for its
Chemin des danes line.
MAN POWER DWINDLING.
There was yet more emphatic evil
dence, as the United Press staff cor
respondent was permitted to view it
personally today. of Germany's dwind-
ling man power. A tour through the
prisoners cages showed q ma jority
of those captured by the French were
boys-mere youths of the 1918 class.
They were a gaunt, under-fed looking
lot. But the hungriest of all the
prisoners were those who were still
being hustled back of the lines today
from hooks and crannies OF the caves
where they had been crouching since
last Tuesday. Detailed explorations of
the ground overswhich was fought the
battle of the caverns revealed quite q

them had much fight left.
The total number captured reached
