THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

Ior the men, and at this camp, as at
all the others, professional entertain
ments provided for by the Knights OF
Columbus Committee will be staged
during the winter months. Athletics
are not being neglected and baseball,
football and basketball games are
promoted by Mr. Dunphy. 1t is the
idea not to permit the organization of
teams which will create rivalry not
appreciated by all the men, but to con-
line the teams to representatives of
the various military units.
Catholic Soldiers In England and
France.
While the American work is pro-
crossing in splendid shape, the Com
mittee is not forgetting the foreign
field in which it expects to be able to
accomplish great good not for the
American soldiers alone, but for all
those with whom Knights of Column
bus chaplains and secretaries may
come in contact. The Committee has
received cordial assurances from
prominent Catholics in England that
the work will be welcomed, and A. G..
Bagley, General Secretary of the Com
mittee, is in receipt of letter from
his son, written at Vancouver, British
Columbia, who says in reference to the
proposed knights of Columbus activ-
tiles in France:
L think those camps can be made
the finest things in the world. AS I
see the soldiers returning here and
talk to hem-especially the Catholic
ones-and learn how little regard is
really taken of them, it seems terri
bic that for the three years the war
has been going on and despite the
fact that nearly one-half the British
army is Catholic, as one officer told
me, there had been nothing done for
them in France or England. The
priests use the Y. M. G.. A. post for
saying Mass"
1t is the intention to open a gen.
eral headquarters at Paris, from there
to conduct the work which will be
done by chaplains and secretaries in
the camps and the trenches. The Rev
Lewis ]. O'Hern, who is the represen-
tative of the hierarchy in the matter
OF appointing Catholic chaplains to
the United States Army and Navy, and
who is also making the appointments
OF auxiliary chaplains who are to be
supported by the Knights of Columbus,
is DESTROYS of receiving more applica-
lions from priests who aspire to serve
with the American army in France
French-speaking priests who, if not.
American born. are fully naturalized,
are practically wanted. They must be
not more than forty years of age, and
physically able to measure up to the
standard of the army examinations.

away of our first American saint three
hundred years ago. This Crusade is
made up of those Catholics who
volunteer to offer. up prayers, Holy
Communions, Masses, etc., for the
spread of the Faith in the United
States, and for the welfare of our land.
AS the names of the Crusaders to-
gether with a. list of their good works,
will be placed upon the tomb of the
saint at the close of the centennial
year, when Mass will be offered up for
those participating, it is to be hoped
that all will send in their names and
tabulated lists of good works to The
Rosary Magazine, ST. Lexington ave-
nue., New York City, for registration
It has been source of deep gratifi-
cation to learn that no fewer than
thirty million offerings have been
made during the past few months
for the intentions of the crusade.

change in the scale Of wages was
possible during the time for which
the rate to pay had been established.
BY these means all uncertainty as
to the amount of pay that each one
was entitled to was done away with,
and thus the causes for strikes,
and consequently strikes themselves,
were unknown wherever these condi-
lions existed. In this way all the
evils resulting from strikes and lock-
outs, with the friction between en-
ployers and employed, the losses. of
pay, and the disorders which in our
own country have so often followed
upon the heels Of labor troubles were
eliminated
1t is greatly to be regretted that
in the early history of our country
the old Catholic Guilds of Europe
were not established here, as they
would then have formed the nucleus
of the great labor organizations
which have been built up in the coun-
try, and being guided by the Chris
tian spirit which always prevailed in
the Catholic Guilds of Europe, they
would have been most attractive to
all workingmen.
They would have been a distinct
means of holding the careless ones
within the Church and would have
offered very strong inducement to
non Catholics to enter the Church by
reason of the many advantages which
they had to offer and which would
have appealed powerfully to the best
instincts of all those who knew of
them, for they offered every advan-
.tage that can be had from member
ship in the labor organizations which
have SO poorly initiated them in some
of their features.
They would have had it in their
power to provide remedies for the
many industrial disturbances, which
have occurred in our country with
the enormous losses which they have
caused and the feeling of unrest and
class hatred which now constitute
one of the most serious menaces to
the continued peace and welfare of
our beloved country

edge of Sioux is required to under
stand.
In the midst of his busy active
for literary work. In fact he was
the creator of a literature, the Sioux
literature. TRANSACTIONS of the Cate
chism, Bible History, a book of Cath
Ole Instructions, the Sunday Epistles
and Gospels, and a Catholic Hymnal
constitute the Sioux literature, and
these translations are all from the pen
of Father Jerome. st. Michaels mis-
sion press also issues monthly the
"Eyanpaha," the only paper published
in Sioux. In his work Father Jerome
has been ably assisted by Brother
Giles, the faithful companion of his
forty years work among the Indians.
The business manager of the cyan
paha" did not complain of the high
cost of labor, nor was he troubled
with pressmen strikes, for Father
Jerome and Brother Giles did all the
work. The advancing price of paper
has, however, been felt at ST. Mich
ae's, and while the editor has not,
after the fashion of the day, put
his complaint on the editorial
page, he has expressed fear that
the advancing prices of paper might
make it necessary to discontinue the
''Eyanpaha." 1t would be a pity if this
message of truth which enters month
ly into SO many Indian Homes should
be discontinued.
Father Jerome recently passed his
time quietly at ST. Michael's mission
unmindful of anniversaries except in
their spiritual significance. Until two
years ago he attended alone the three
Indian churches of the reservation.
Failing health brought him an assist
ant.

"REMINISCENCES OF THE LATE.
REAR ADMIRAL EVANS,
u. S. A,

In "a Soldiers Log" embodying
'Recollections of Forty Years OF
Naval Life by the late Rear Admiral
Robley Dunglison Evans, u. S. N, the
reader has original humor, pathos,
blood curdling adventure and rugged
philosophy to keep him fascinated
from the first page until he finishes
the last with regret.
Encircling the world and recording
his impressions in his log the AID
miral makes no religious comments
except in but one instance, and that
was when he was in the Asiatic squad,
ron. 1t dealt with missionaries in the
Far East and while he makes no com
parison it crops out that the point
needs not be emphasized with italics.
Of visit to Canton from Hong
Kong, he says in Chapter ten:
II was interested in meeting, in the
heart of the city, in one of the narrow
streets where two chairs could hardly
pass each other, a young man with all
the outward signs of Chinaman ex-
cept the color of his skin, and yet who
was evidently an Anglo-Saxon. He had
the dress Of the Country and the long
pigtail of Chinaman and was talking
fiuently with the natives in their own
dialect, but he was, in fact, young

ffThey encountered untold hardships
and privations, but they met with suc-

of so-called civilization in the East
is marked by their graves. How many
souls they saved is a question that can
be settled only at the last roll call.
That the Catholics, however, live near
er the people and had more influence
with them for good or evil than any
other denomination was plain to me.

tunately, as Rev. F. A. Moeller, S. J.,
in his Catholic Encyclopedia paper on
the Education of the Deaf and
Dumb says-Laurent Clerc fell away
from his faith and became an apostate
and "the kindness of Able Sicard only
served to lay the foundation of a
Protestant propaganda, which, ever
since the opening Of the Hartford

FOOD CONSERVATION

Eat more corn and less wheat We
have a bumper corn crop, a record
breaker, according to the estimates.
Three billion bushels and 100000, 900
bushels added to that. Figures be-
=yond all realization. This crop is
#616,759,O0O bushels larger than in 1916,
while the wheat crop is below normal.
Eat corn products, therefore, and save
the wheat. There is no hardship in
putting corn in place of some wheat.
Once learn to like corn bread-and if
properly made there is no trouble
about liking it-and it will hold its
place after war is forgotten Cheaper
than wheat bread is corn bread
much cheaper when the food value
obtained for the money is considered.
Try it.
A dollars worth of corn meal,
even at the present high prices, con
tains twice as much nutritive value
as dollars worth Of wheat bread.
This is not guesswork The actual
figures show that Ala cents worth
of corn meal now equals one dollars
worth, of wheat bread in actual food
value. It is fortunate for folks who
have to make a dollar go as far as
lit can these days that we raise in
this country four bushels of corn to
every bushel of wheat.
Mr. Kenneth Fowler of New York
has joined the Food Administration
ito lead a campaign of education
tending towards the greater use of fish
as an article of diet. He will under
take the task of lettering market
conditions, establishing distributing
centers and markets, increasing stor-
age and preserving facilities, and OBJ
tanning better transportation facilities.
The Food Administrations chart,
showing the principal varieties of
fresh and salt water fish available In
our markets, gives an astonishing
number of wholesome flsh disable for
food. Most people know only a few
varieties and neglect the larger num-
Der which are cheaper and lust as
wholesome The chart contains no
local varieties and none captured in
limited quantities, vet has over 70
kinds Of saltwater fish, and 36 kinds
OF fresh water fish, besides fiye kinds
of crustaceans and seven Of shellffsh.
Eat more fish and less meat, more
corn and less wheat, and help feed
the folks in need.

CATHOLIC DEAF MUTES
AN HISTORICAL "REMINISCENCES
FATHER MoELLER, S. j., AND
CATHOLIC DEAF MUTE3.

The death, few days ago, of DIR.
p. M. Gallaudet, formerly President of
Gallaudet College, Washington, and a
teacher of the deaf and dumb for more
than half century, recalls the fact
that it was his father, DIR. Thomas
EGallaudet, who was the founder Of the
first school for the deaf and dumb in
this country. An interesting bit of
history in this connection is to the
effect that when DIR. Gallaudet went to
England for the purpose of acquiring
the way of instructing the deaf and
dumb from those who had a monopoly
of the art--the Braidwood- Watson
family the terms were so exorbitant
and humiliating that he refused to
come to an agreement. Happening to
meet in London the famous Able
Sicard, he accepted an invitation to
visit his school in Paris. Able Sicard
was the successor of Able De lEppe,
the father of the sign language for the
deaf and dumb.
In Paris, the American received
every assistance and Able Sicard al
lowed one of his best pupils. Laurent
Clerc, to come to America. In the
agreement drawn up between DIR. Gal
laudet and Laurent Clerc, it is. stated
He (Clerc) is not to be called upon
to teach anything contrary 20 the Ro-
man Catholic religion. : Able Sicard
writing to Bishop Cheverus, Of Boston,
said: The extreme desire to procure

country in which you dwell and fulfill

Apostles, the happiness of knowing
our holy religion, leads me to a-sacri-

force him, if possible, to reveal the
place where the Archbishop is hidden.
Public Demonstration.
The Imprisonment of the priests
caused public demonstration of pro-
test, resulting in the arrest of several
ladies of the best families of the city,
as we'll as a number of Catholic resi-
dents. The ladies were subsequently,
released, but the young men, at latest
accounts, were still in prison. They
We're sentenced to pay a fine of two
hundred dollars (Mexican), with the
alternative of fifteen days imprison-
ment. All chose Imprisonment. AL
though they belong to Catholic fami-
lies of the highest standing, they are
forced to do mental work of the prison
sweeping the yards, etc.
From the same reliable authority we
learn that Rev. Father Emmanuel Yer
ena, parish priest of Mexicaltzingo,
was beaten by the soldiers who appre-
hended him; furthermore, that some
of his parishioners, who tried to save
the sacred vestments because they be-
lieved the soldiers were going to rob
the church, were shot.
Our informant states that it is i'm
possible to describe the CONSERVATION
of the poor faithful Catholics of Quad
alajara, who have suffered SO much on
account of the unbearable radicalism
and bigotry of the present governor of
Jalisco. Latest advices indicate that
all the churches are now closed and
no priests can administer the Sacra-
ments to the afflicted people. 3,

has been diverted for the moment
from the atrocious iniquities that are

Again we have to take up the sad
tale of religious persecution, which is
now raging with fresh fury in many
parts of that unhappy country.
For example, the Most Rev. Fran
cisco Orozco Jiminez, D. D., Arch
bishop of Guadalajara, who for some
months had been living quietly in a
remote place in his diocese hoping
that the first storm of revolutionary
fury would pass over, recently
emerged from his retreat and issued a
pastoral letter to his flock in which
he declared his adhesion to the pro-
test recently made by the Mexican
hierarchy against the new Mexican
Constitution, framed in QueretarC.

Manuel M. Dieguez, Immediately is

With eighteen buildings completed
at as many encampments and canton
ments, with secretaries at work even
in those places where buildings are
not finished, and with the knowledge
that other buildings are well under
way, the knights of Columbus Com
mittee on War Activities begins to
feel that 1t can see daylight 1t has
been herculean task to engineer
the construction of these army recrea-
ton centers and to overcome the OBJ
stacles which have arisen from every
side, but Col. P. H. Callahan, chair
man of the committee, together with
those who are associated with him in
the work, realize that it has all been
we'll worth while, and as proof of this
cite the splendid good that is being
accomplished in those places where
the plan for providing for social, rect
reational and religious welfare of the
soldiers has fully materialized.
One of the first buildings opened
and where the work is now in full
swing is Camp Devens, at Aver, Mass.
Here John z. Dunphy is the field
secretary, and Mr.. Dunphy is proving
himself to be just such a man as the
committee had in mind when it form
ulated its ideal of what a secretary
should be. Another splendid aid to
this camp is the Rev. Thomas P. Nc
CHM, the post chaplain, who has left
the affairs of the large parish of
which he is pastor at Aver, Mass, in
the hands of curate, that he might
devote his own time to Uncle Sans
soldiers.
10000 People Assisted at Mass.
Father McGinn has had an altar
erected out of doors at Camp Devens,
and here, when the weather permits,
Mass is celebrated. He reports that
10000 people, mostly soldiers, assisted
at Mass here Sunday, September %.
The men, he says, are taking the great
est interest in religion and many re-
ceive Holy Communion every day.
Under the direction of Secretary Dun
ply an orchestra has been formed,
many applications have been received
from those who wish to organize a glee
club, and Father McGinn and Mr..
Dunphy will soon have a large choir
which will sing hymns during the
celebration of low Mass and will also
furnish the music at occasional high
Mass. Congregational singing will also
be encouraged

After downing five opponents in this division he was finally forced to succumb to heavy odds.
 In the third star bout of the night, Jack Raymond who was among those present at the bout on October 6. wills appear pitted against Jack Fishman of New Haven. Both of these grap- piers have appeared in Boston in tournaments given by George Tuohecs the premier wrestling promoter of. New England. Keen rivalry exists between this pair, and some fast work is sure to take place when they meet each other in this city. Nx
