ING PRIESTS NEEDED.


Hundreds of men, working with
that speed which has characterized
everything connected with the war,
have. been doing wonders at every
camp during the past week Astonish-
Ing progress has been made In the
erection and completion Of those
knights Of Columbus recreation build
ings which were under construction,
and in many other camps, where the
buildings are in complete operation,
the soldiers have given themselves up
to the enjoyment Of the little con-
veniences which have been furnished
them and which are proving to be
potent reminders Of home.
BY November /, no less than seven
ty-five places of recreation will be in
operation under the auspices of the
knights of Columbus, unless the I'M
foreseen should happen and peace
should be declared before that time.
The undertaking is enormous but
the men who have been entrusted by
the Catholic people of the United
States with the task of seeing it
through are in deadly earnest, and
they are sparing neither time nor
labor to accomplish the result which
is their goal. 1t is interesting in this
connection to note that all the money
subscribed is being devoted to the
purpose for which it was primarily in
tended, no part of it being wasted in
overhead expenses.
At the general Offices of the
Knights of Columbus at New Haven,
Conn, the regular office force is
handling a great bulk of the war ac-
tivities matter, and while this means
that their work has doubled in
volume, there has been no increase
in their salaries. Long hours and the
same money is their motto, and it is
this way that they are doing their
bit for God and country. The same
condition exists in Washington, where
the Committee on War Activities has
established it's headquarters. Men
who, when at home are leaders in the
business and professional world, and
are used to getting big returns for
their work, are laboring for nothing
while clerks, stenographers and other
necessary Office help are contenting
themselves with salaries which afford
them merely bare living.
Nor must the members of various
councils who have contributed sc
much valuable aid and experience in
the erection of buildings at the camps
be forgotten. The spirit they have
displayed has been wonderful, and
had it not been for them thousands OF
dollars would have been taken from
the fund to pay for services which
they have rendered for nothing.
An important event of the past
week has been the Inauguration Of
fund raising campaigns in several
sections of the United States. The
goal is now 100000, and it must be
reached if this great work is to be
carried out in full
Permission has been secured from

Murder. a.
To kill a human being Is to destroy
that nature, by separating the vital
principle from the body; to destroy
anything is to subordinate and sacri-
fee that thing absolutely to the pur
poses of the slayer; but on one has
the right so to subordinate another
human being, because man and his
life are solely under the dominion Of
God; no one but God may own q man
absolutely, but absolute ownership Is
involved in Staying person, Man
is a person, an intelligent. free, indie
pendent creature. No other creature
may hold dominion over his body and
soul. Hence our hatred for the oath
bound society which exacts blind
obedience. All morality depends on
human freedom, all peace in life, all
civilization and society itself, and
there is no thraldom so vile as that
which seizes dominion over life It
self, no usurpation so abhorrent to
human nature. Even the irrational
reflexes of the body itself react
quickest in protecting us from the
thraldom. There are occasions when
life may be taken Indirectly, in self
defense, in protecting ward, and it
may be taken directly in just war,
but euthanasia is not such an occa-
sion.

They got into trouble somehow. these two positive gentlemen. and the commandant was summoned before the secretary one day on matter of inpor- tance. The secretary told the con- mandant that If he kept on, or words to that effect, he should certainly be obliged to punish him by sending him to sea. MT.

 our Salt Resources.
 Among the states which possess vast salt resources in one form or another are Michigan, New York. Ohio, Utah and West Virginia, the first named claiming that it has enough salt to supply the whole world several hun dred years. But most salt in its nat ural state Is impure and some primes contain barium chloride, which makes it poisonous. The bureau of chemistry at Washington, after careful research. found that such salt can be deprived of its poisonous properties by adding solution of sulphate of soda, and so large salt supplies of this character which have had limited use are now made available for general commercial purposes.

TERRITORY OF ALASKA EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
A PROCLAIM ATION

The President of the United States, following the national custom of more than half a cen tury, has designated Thursday, November 29, 1917, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer. The year now drawing to a close, has been fraught with momentous consequences for this nation. We have entered the Great War in behalf of those principles of of liberty, freedom and democra- cy which have been so beneticent in the life of our country; in this our government has been guided by a supreme desire to make the world a safe place for the exer- else of those immutable principles of government which, under God, have placed the United States in the front rank of civil ized and progressive nations. Our people are being called upon to make great personal sacrifices, and the demand for personal ser vice and effort will largely in- crease as time passes, but the spirit of unity and unfaltering purpose which actuates them will lead to ultimate and trium- phant victory.
 Now, therefore, l, J. F. A. Strong, Governor of the Terri tory of..Alaska, ..do hereby ..pro-

 THANKSGIVING DAY
 And while the people of this great republic are facing tremen- dous responsibilities. and their devotion to it's institutions is be- ing put to the test, and though sorrows manifold may visit us as a result of the war, it is most fitting that the people of this Territory should give thanks to Him ''who doeth all things we'll" and, blessed with plenty our selves, let us unite in praise of Almighty God for the many favors that have been vouchsafed us as people, while especially remembering those nations with whom our own is allied and whose people are exhibiting su- preme devotion and making the greatest sacrifices in this struggle for humanity and civili- zation.

GERMAN RAID
Results Is Death Of 10 In England
Battles In Clouds Result In Three
Machines Crashing Down on
British Coast.

London, May Notwithstanding at
tacks made by 16 German aircraft
yesterday, resulting in the killing OF
scores of women and children and fol-
lowed by battles in the clouds between
British and enemy planes, marked the
bloodiest Teutonic aerial attack on
England since the wars opening. De-
tails were revealed today in admir-
atty and home defense statements.
The casualty list was officially fix
ed at 76 killed and ia injured
Twenty-seven women and 90 chill
dren were among the dead and 43
women and 10 children among the in
jured.
Royal naval air service planes at
Dunkirk, called into action, swung in
to battle array above the channel.
Here a series of thrilling encounters
occurred.
One British machine gave battle
with three of the enemy craft-and
shot one of the trio down.
Two sped on with other raiders
to encounter more naval planes over
the Belgian coast.
Far aloft the two forces sailed and
Unanswered and fought.
Before the enemy forces could es-
cape two twin-engine machines were
shot down to the ground.
The home defense statement named
the German raiders as aircraft"
which might be either aeroplanes or
Zeppelins. The admiralty statement
spoke of enemy aircraft" but like
wise detailed an encounter with three
hostile planes" and the destruction of
two twin-engined hostile machines"

that the German raiding force was
composed of both Zeppelins and air.

"All our machines are safe" the ad-
miralty announcement declared.
Coincident with the announcement
of these air battle the admiralty an

bombs were dropped.

civilians killed since the start of the
war by German air raids-Zeppelins
and aeroplanes both-is raised to 3O5

The only other air raid which ap-
preached this latest one in destruc-
tiveness of human life was that of
