Secretary Baker today finally dis
posed OF the question. which has been
before the department since IL was
determined that there would be more

10000 student officers, close Novem.

Bakers Announcement.
Every student officer in the train
ing camps who passes the tests will
be given commission at the close of
the camps this month.
"All the officers receiving commits
sions for whom places can be imme-
diately proyided will be called into
active service with pay at the close
of the. camps. Others for whom there
! Is no present vacancy will be given
commissions and placed on a non-pay
for them"
This inactive period, Il is believed,
will last for a'few weeks, or a month
or two at the most. Just how many
OF the Fort Myer men will go on this
reserve list OF officers cannot now be
determined. but every effort will be
made to find places Immediately for
the most of the officers.

A large number of the men commits

contingent, due to arrive at Camp
Meade this week, will necessitste the
assignment OF additional officers.
As the troops are withdrawn from
Camp Meade and the other canton

VIM. T. Russell, Bishop of Charles

Grateful That America Has

Boston, Nov. 3O-"Let us raise our
hearts in gratitude to God that Amer

O'Connell, speaking yesterday at a
high mass of requiem in memory of
deceased members of the Cathedral of
the Holy Cross.
Whatever may be the cause of the
war, whatever purpose each individual
nation has in going to war, let history
decide" he continued. "But this we
know today, and for this we ought to
be filled with righteous pride, that
America is in this war, not for greed
or selfishness, but only to maintain the
principles of righteousness and Justice.
America will see to it that no mere
force or might, no mere greed for
greater power or more territory will
triumph, but that the great, sublime
and holy ideal of justice for all, of the
right of small nations, of Independent
sovereignties of people, will triumph
in the end. Therefore, 1t is the duty
of every one of us here in America,

FIGHTING on
HOLY GROUND
After Seven Centuries Of Moslem Rule
Jerusalem 10 About to Pass Into
Christian Hands.
Many vicissitudes Has the City o,
David Experienced In Its In
terestlnq History.

After nearly 700 years of DONNA
ton by the Moslems, Jerusalem Is
about to be delivered out of the hands
of the infidels by modern Crusaders
in the guise of British soldiers who
are rapidly forcing the Turkish troops
out of the Holy City. After Rome
Jerusalem is one of the oldest and
most interesting cities in the world
and dearest to the Christian heart
for it is the scene of the Passion o1
our Lord and the site of His Holy Sep
ulchre.
King David made Jerusalem his
capital and transported there the Arb
Of the Covenant. His son, Solomon
beautified the city and built a mag
nificent temple to the Lord. Nabucn
odonosor razed the Jewish metropolis
in 588 B. c. and destroyed the beau
tiful temple of Solomon. After the
Babylonian captivity Jerusalem was
rebuilt in 536 B. c., and after suffer
ing severely in many wars and sieges
by different enemies, the city was
again completely destroyed and the
Jewish people dispersed under Titus
in 70 A. D.
Hadrian rebuilt Jerusalem as Aelia
Capitolina, heather and Roman city
which Jews were forbidden to visit
under the inspiration of his mother
Helena, took deep interest in this
sanctuary of Christian memories and
built many shrines and churches on
the spots hallowed by the presence of
our Savior. Thenceforward the holy
places of Jerusalem became the object
of pious veneration to pilgrims from
every part of the Christian world. 1t
was Julian the Apostate who invited
the Jews to return and rebuild their
ancient capital.
Since that time the scene of the
birth of Christianity has witnessed
many vicissitudes. The Persians cap.
tured Jerusalem in GA, and it fell into
the hands of the Mohammedan Caliph
Omar in 637. In 1917 it passed under
the domination of the Turks. Chris.
tian pilgrims were allowed to visit the
aOly Lanu DuC Lu0y were COmp0lleO
to pay tribute. The cruelties prac.
ticed on the pilgrims by the Turks
aroused the West and under the spell
of the fiery preaching of Peter the
Hermit. the piety and chivalry of Eu.
rope undertook the Crusades which
restored the tomb of our Lord and the
Holy City to Christian hands in 1899
when the Holy Land was made a
Christian Kingdom under the cele-
brated Godfrey of Bouillon. 1t fell
once more into the hands of Moslem
rulers before the onslaught of the
great Saladin in 1887, and since that
time has remained almost continually
under the ascendancy of the Crescent.

tlOu IOr Q1mSelI, we SnOul0 pc reduced

1T matters not who the head of the
nation may be-Catholics, Protestants,
Jews, unbelievers, or even in other
respects, prosecutors of the church,
for the time being they are the agents
of God in preserving the social order,
and they must be obeyed.
con this, our national feast of
Thanksgiving, we have cause to be
grateful to God for the spirit of loyal
ty to the best interests of our country
which is manifest throughout the land.
1T is gratifying to see at this crisis
in our history that Catholics have rec
ognized their duty. One-third, at least,
of the American Army and Navy is
made up Of Catholics. Yet we are
only one-sixth of the whole population.
Why is it that we have furnished
twice as many as our proportion to
the whole population would demand?
We cannot attribute this great dispro-
portion to any choice in the drafting,
still less to any partiality on the part
of the government. "a
"The only explanation is that Cath
olics in greater proportion have stood
the physical tests. They were found
in greater proportion free from those
diseases which destroy virility and
make men unfit to serve their country
in their country's need. They are first
in war because by clean lives they
were first in peace. They are not first
in the hearts of their countrymen,
neither do they ask or expect it, but
it will rebound to the honor and credit
of our country, If now in the conduct
of this war and in future enjoyment of
peace their rights to life and liberty
in the exercise of their religion shall
be recognized without stint and SAFE

Electrical Goods in Porto Rico.

The bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, of the department of com
merce, to-day issued report on the mar.
kets for electrical goods in Porto Rico.
il calls attention to the fact that the
only source of business in electrical ma
terial in any volume are the electrified
tions of sugar mills, the erection of
lighting plant in the towns not now pro-
vded with them, and lighting in general,
both public and private.
After many years Of unsatisfactory
ess, the sugar industry is at last
enjoying undeniable prosperity, and the
report suggests that when past losses
have been recouped TO some extent con-
siderable capital may be available for
undermining the sugar mills. This will
be the opportunity for American manu-
facturers of electrical equipment.
The new bulletin is taken up largely
with descriptions of power plants, light
ing, industrial power, telephone and tel
egraph systems, steam and electric rail-
ways. miscellaneous appliances, and ad
vice as to the prospects for selling equip
ment. 1t is entitled Electrical Goods
