Overseas Army
Head of Sears, Roebuck &
Co. Will Serve as Secre-
tary in Hut

With the twenty trades represented
at a Y. NJ. c. A. luncheon yesterday at
the Bankers Club organized, with per-
manent recruiting committees, indica-
tions are that the campaign for men
for overseas service will far exceed tine
goal of 1000 workers.
Among those who were passed favor
ably by the committee at BAT Madison
Avenue yesterday was Julius Rosen-
wald, president Of Sears, Roebuck &
Co., the big Chicago mail order house.
Mr.. Rosenwald was measured for his
uniform yesterday. He will serve as a
'Y" secretary in one of the Red Tri-
angle huts overseas.
A. G. Knebel, executive secretary Of
the War Personnel Board, told those
present at the Bankers Club meeting
that the success in New York would
speed up national recruiting. There
will be a call for five thousand more
men in September, he said, and more
"Y" men would be needed as long as
more young men were sent abroad to
fight.
Sheriff Knott reported that the hotel
men WOulQ pTOuuCe at ledSt MY CHScl
leaders to go abroad. William A. Bor-
ing said the architects had already re-
cruited eighteen men.
Platt Adams reported that the quota
of one hundred sports leaders would
be exceeded, and that most of his re-
cruits were not professional athletes,
but lawyers, bankers, a policeman and
others who had been attending gym"
classes to keep fit for their business.
The Hardware Club has organized its
executive committee into a recruiting
committee to comb its ranks for pos
sible "Y" men.
\ cable message was read at the club
meeting pointing out the immediate
need for 1870 automobile mechanics to
help restore equipment damaged in the
German offensive.
"Big Bill' Edwards, Federal income
tax collector, who was present, said:
"We're all loafers, men. The only
big business to-day is the war busi-
ness, and the war business Of this
meeting is recruiting for the Y. NJ
c. A. It's up to US to keep those boys
who are fighting our war from getting

those where liquor is licensed invari-

that drinking is inimlcal to produc-

NeW Coal Order to
Reduce Beer Output
BY Seventy Per Cent

That the order Of Fuel Administrator
Garfield cutting the supply of coal to
breweries in half will mean failure for
many of them, including some Of the
largest and best known, was brought
out at a special meeting Of he New
York State Brewers Association held
yesterday a its offices, 1O9 East If
teenth Street. Practically all the brew
ing firms of New York City and vicin-
ity, as we'll as many of those upstate,
were represented.
1t was pointed out by William II.
hurst, attorney for The association, that
the decreased coal supply will necessi-
tate reduction in brewing by more
than so per cent.
"Inere will be about one million
tons OF coal burned by the breweries
instead of two Million" said Mr.. Hirst
But since most of the larger plants
VIII need coal for purposes other than
actual brewing, the decrease in pro-
ductlon can be estimated at almost 70
per cent
This means that many of the brew
efles Will be compelled to go under"
On plan suggested for meeting the
cut IN coal, which was received with
favor, was that the smaller brewing
irms amalgamate.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The House
Ways and Means Committee to-day
closed hearings on the new $4,000, ,OO0,-
900 revenue bill, after determination
of Charles Johnson Post, representing
magazine and periodical publishers,
and Jesse II. Neal, spokesman for pub

Rev. Thos. Cusack.
Bishop of Albany
Diocese, Is Dead
Born in New York CITY So
Years Ago and Famed as
Mission Worker

ALBANY, July 12.-The Right Rev.
Thomas F. Cusack, Bishop Of the Cath
olic Diocese of Albany, oed early this
afternoon. He had been IN poor health
for several months. He contracted
pneumonia last January, and his life
was despaired of at that time. He
never completely recovered his health.
Bishop Cusack was ffty-eight years
old and had been in the priesthood for
thirty three years. He was appointed
head of the Albany Diocese by Pope
Benedict on July 5, 1915. At that time
he was Auxiliary Bishop of the New
York Diocese.
The prelate was born in New York
City. When still very young he con-
ceived the idea of becoming a priest
and clung to the idea throughout his
boyhood. When he was only seven
years old he became altar boy at st.
James's Church. in the old 7th Ward.
Bishop Cusack was graduated from
the Jeusit College in 1880. Five years
after being ordained he was appoint
ed rector at Rosedale. The post,
though highly honorable one, was far
too quiet to satisfy the young priests
ambition for an active life, and he re-
signed after one year.
In 1890 Bishop Cusack was appointed
aid to the rector of St. Mary's, in
Yonkers. The parish was a new one
and the church was forced to strug-
gle hard for time TO gain headway.
The conditions suited the spirit of
Bishop Cusack exactly, and he worked
with indomitable will and excellent re-
suits. While there smallpox epi-
demic swept over Yonkers. The young
priest distinguished himself by his de-
votion to his duties and the personal
heroism he exhibited.
Shortly after this, Bishop Cusack
obtained permission from Archbishop
Corrigan to return to New York and
organize band of missionaries for
work among nonCatholics. He was
extremely successful in this work
Several years ago, Bishop Cusack OBJ
tanned leave to travel, spending con-
siderable time in Europe. He re-
Holy Land and was recognized as one
of the best-informed men in the Catho-
lie Church on questions pertaining to
European politics. On his return to
this country he went South. where he
conducted many missions. Through his
own personal magnetism he overcame
much of the prejudice existing at that
time in the Southern States.
When made Auxiliary Bishop of the
New York diocese, Bishop Cusack was
one of the youngest in the country to
hold SO high post. He remained as
Auxiliary Bishop for eleven years be-
fore being appointed Bishop of Albany.
Up TO a few days before his death
and despite his ill-health, Bishop Gu
sack maintained keen interest in the
war and was one of the leaders in this
vicinity in all war activities. During
the Spanish American War he was
chaplain at Camp Chickamauga, Ga,
and he is credited with having offered
many constructive suggestions for the
welfare of the men in the camps to-
day, which have been followed with
profit.

general, assumed charge of the Dio-
cese of Albany, pending the appoint
ment of an administrator by Cardinal
