the most entertaining of the season.
AZ Olato San. the daughter of the

Julian Lincoln, tenor of a strand

well portrayed by Henry Coote.
One of the outstanding features
Of the play was that OF Roger Gray

troupe.
others who did well were Miss
Elise Bartlett. as Betsy Lincoln. sis

the Different States East OF the Mis-
sissippi met with the representatives
of the Y. NJ. c. A., the National Cath
Ollie War Council, and the Jewish Wei
fare Board in Washington in order to
devise plan of cooperation between
the government and these organiZa-
lions. 1t was decided that in each
city in the United States a committee
should be formed representing the
National Catholic War Council the Y.
NJ. G. A. and the Jewish Welfare
Board for the purpose of handling the
employment problem during the period
Of rehabilitation.
The wounded men are being sent to
Reconstruction Hospitals where they
receive medical treatment and pre-
Iiminary instruction in the trades for
which they are fitted. The Welfare
work in these hospitals has been
placed under the direct supervision Of
the American Red Cross. The Red
Cross, however, is directed to call on
the different organizations which have
been engaged in Welfare work in the
camps, in order to supplement it's
work. Under the supervision of the
American Red Cross, the Y. NJ. G. A,
the National Catholic War Council and
the Knights of Columbus and the
Jewish Welfare Board will provide en-
tertainment for the wounded men and
able-bodied personnel in the recon
struction hospitals.
When the wounded man leaves the
hospital, he is taken over by the
Federal Board for Vocational Training
and placed in school or college
where he may pursue his education at
government expense. Any school or
college which has made formal appliL
cation to the Federal Board, and
whose courses have been approved,
may qualify for the training of the
men for their positions in life. 1t is
the intention of the Government to
prepare the wounded men not only for
the trades but also for the different
professions. Persons desiring in
formation about the work of the COM
mittee on Reconstruction may apply
to Right Rev. Monsignor Splaine,
Chairman, or to the Secretary, Rev.

Venerable Anna Maria
PROCESS OF IDENTIFICATION OF
SAINTED ROMAN MATRON.

The Process of the Qualification of
the Ven. Anna Maria Taiga, Roman
woman belonging to the humblest
walks in life, is coming to favorable
close, and very soon a general meet
ing of the S. Congregation of Rites
will be held in presence of Pope Bene-
dict for the solemn appreciation of the
miracles of this holy woman.
The Ven. Anna M. Taiga died in
1887 when Gregory XVI had occupied
the Papal throne for six years. Her
husband held the post of door-keeper
at the palace of Prince Doria, scion of
the great Roman family that gave to
the Church Innocent X. In this posi-
ton the sanity woman reared large
family, upon which the blessings of
heaven seemed to be showered. Some
years ago when the Church declared
this servant of God entitled to the
honor of being called Venerable, her
body was exhumed from S. Lorenzo
and conveyed within the city walls to
be deposited in the Church of the Trim
itarians, S. Grisogono in Trastevere.
1t would seem that saints instinctively
recognize saints The Ven. Anna M.
Taiga chose as her confessor the Ven.
VincenZo Pallotti, a Roman priest who
died in 1850 in the odor of sanctity
after founding the Pious Society of
Missions, which has now houses in
Australia, America, and elsewhere.

and lectures to Catholics, in order to
win their sympathy and cooperation

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
MILITARY MASSES.
To the Editor:

10 the EDITOR.
While there can be no doubt that
the military" Mass at the Cathedral
on Thanksgiving Day was the first of
it's kind in the new Cathedral, it was
not the first one ever celebrated in
st. Paul. For, as the cadets marched
up the aisle, it brought back vivid
recollection of a similar scene in the
old Cathedral in 1861, when Captain
O'Gorman, father of the present
Bishop O'Gorman of Sioux Falls, S.
D., marched at the head of his COM
pany of Catholic Volunteers up to the
sanctuary railing to hear Mass before
setting out for the South. The writer,
who was only youngster at the
time, was profoundly impressed with
the fact that they stood all through
the service with their caps on and
grounded arms with a clang at the
elevation.
There was another memorable mill
tary field Mass at White Bear Lake in
1885, when the national guard held
their encampment there during the
administration of Gov. Hubbard. An
altar was erected in a tent, adorned
with flowers and candles stuck in re-
yersed bayonets. Father Stanley, as
he then was, celebrated Mass, and
Bishop Ireland, the war chaplain.
preached one of his most eloquent SER
mons. Captain Cool Mccarthy was in
charge of the artillery, and at a signal
given by the writer's father at the
Elevation salute was fired, the in
fantry presented arms, and the vast
crowd drawn by The unusual ceremony,
knelt, or stood, in silent reverence.
