knights OF columbuo Worker Presides
At Meeting In Ruined Chapel
In France

Had 1t not been for Father James
Horton, formerly principal of the Mar
list College in Atlanta, Ca, but now
volunteer chaplain with the knights
of Columbus overseas, there would
have been no services in the little
ruined chapel Of st. Crepin In the
shell-torn town of Chateau Thierry
when the Yanks poured into the city
and drove the Huns back toward the
Rhine. The Knights of Columbus are
one of the seven war work agencies
10 Join in the United Wark Work
Campaign, November 11-1S, to raise
$40. 900.
Father Horton was right up with
the vanguard Of the on-rushing Ameri'
cans and, after the Germans had been
cleaned out of their cellars and ma
chine gun ambushes, the old Cure
who had emerged from some unknown
hiding place, insisted on holding serv
ice in St. Crepin's chapel to celebrate
the liberation of the city.
There were no yestments, no, can
dies, no sacred vessels. But Father
Horton rode motorcycle back to the
headquarters of the Knights of Co
lumbus, secured the supplies needed
by the Cure and rushed them bacl
by automobile.
The services were held and no NOR
fervent TIE Dcums ever were uttere'
than those that went up from that lit
tie sholl-wrecked chapel in devastated
but liberated, Chateau Thierry.

Soldiers

That returned soldier, minus

Gently when the Red Cross In
stitute at 81 Fourth Ave-, New
York City, was able to. instruct
and place a young man in a fac
tory manufacturing gyroscoDes
which are used as stailizers for
aeroplanes, a work calling for
the most skillful and deft mani
pulations of certain adjustments,
and the development of the
senses of touch to such a degree
that the merest fraction of
mechanical displacement can be
discovered by the finger tips.
Many opportunities for ac-
curing a profession are offered
to these handicapped men pro-
fessions that offer an excellent
living and in which the dis
ability becomes less a handicap
in view of the excellent salaries
and congenial surroundings.
The Red Cross Institute has
undertaken to teach various
trades to disabled American
soldiers offering a variety fol-
selection for the development OF
any special bent on the part Of
the men, among them being the
manufacture Of artificial limbs,
oxy-acetyIene welding, mechani.

N|kOLAYEV TAKEN BY
 THE GERMAN FORCES
Further Conquest of Russian Territory is Reported-Kai- ser's Officers Invited to Take Charge, Says Vienna.

London, March 17-The Germans have occupied Nikolayev, in addition to Odessa, according to a Reuter- dis patch from Petrograd.
 German officers have been invited" to organize an army in Ukraine, ac- cording to dispatch from the official Russian news agency, which says this information is from an official Aus trian source.
 The evacuation of Petrograd has been completed, according to Reuter- dispatch from that city, quoting an official communication. None of the population will be permitted to leave the city hereafter, and, in order to make certain that the order is obeyed, all passenger train service has been suspended.
 The council of commissaries of "the commune of Petrograd," which will be the official designation of Petro- grad and the district surrounding it in future, has authorized the reap pearance of all so-called Bourgeoise newspapers which had been suppress ed since the beginning of the German offensive. Occupation by the Turks of the entire Batum region has been confirmed.
 Latest details of the German occu- patton of Apo, Finland, state that 5000 troops, with artillery, came from the Aland Islands in several transports preceded by an ice breaker. The Red Guards refused to surrender and the Germans bombarded the town for half an hour, forcing the Red Guards to retire. The Germans seized three Russian torpedo boats and some mine sweepers.

HOLLAND REPLIES IN
 SEIZURE 0F SHIPPING
Believed Answer Will Lead to Solution of DifficuIty-Ger- many Threatens Harsher U- Boat Methods ON Country.

The Hague, March 17.-After cabinet council lasting into the night, the government cabled to London a message which, according to reliable information, probably will lead to a satisfactory conclusion of the ship ping difficulty.
 An Amsterdam dispatch on Satur- day said it had been learned on excel lent authority that the Dutch govern ment had accepted teh demands of the entente allies relating to the use of Dutch ships in the danger zone.
 London, Friday, March 15-In view of the decision of the entente allies to make use of Dutch shipping now in allied ports, Reuters Limited, pub fishes a note comparing the generous offer which the allies, before deciding to take over the ships, made to Hol- land, with the German practice of either bottling up Dutch ships or if they came out, sinking them, with no replacement being promised or in- tended.
